The popular YouTube channel “Because science“surprised his followers with a new video that addresses a question many anime fans have been asking: “What’s the best way to get the message across?Does running like Naruto make you go faster?“. To answer this question, the channel had the participation of a very special guest, the gold medalist of the London 2012 Olympic Games in the 4x100m relay, Jeneba Tarmoh.

In the experiment, Tarmoh and channel host Kyle Hillfaced each other in a series of speed tests. The two ran a distance of 50 meters three times, alternating between the normal running style and the famous “Naruto Run”.characterized by leaning forward with arms stretched behind him, imitating the running style of the anime character. Naruto Uzumaki.

The results of the experiment were revealing. Kyle Hill, when running normally, recorded an average time of 7.78 seconds, while his average time with the “Naruto Run” was 7.99 seconds. On the other hand, Geneva Tarmohwith his professional technique, he achieved an average of 7.11 seconds with the conventional run and 7.3 seconds with the “Naruto Run”. These results demonstrated that both runners were approximately 3% slower using the Naruto running style..

Tarmoh explained that the “Naruto Run” tends to lean the body forward, which shifts the center of gravity and increases the risk of falls and injuries. This stance, while iconic and fun, is not efficient for real-life fast running.

The video was well-received by anime fans and science enthusiasts, who appreciate Because Science's combination of entertainment and scientific rigor. Through this experiment, Kyle Hill and Geneva Tarmoh demonstrated that although the “Naruto Run” may appear faster on screen, the traditional running technique is still the most effective for covering distances quickly.

This type of content not only satisfies the curiosity of pop culture fans, but also promotes a deeper understanding of how the human body works in different contexts. The video will no doubt continue to spark conversation and analysis among anime and science fans alike.
