…dattebayo!

Posted by: wwc76 on: June 8, 2008

So which famous (well, at least currently) Japanese anime character who regularly ends his sentence with “dattebayo”? Big clue here:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, not the frogs! It’s the kid ninja on the left. Yes, it’s Naruto! I still do not know what “dattebayo” means. Someone told me that it’s just an expression unique to Naruto, something akin to “lah”. Anyone knows?

More figurines from the anime:

Kakashi

 

Jiraya

 

4th Hokage

 

3rd Hokage

 

Bought all these last year, mainly because I saw a special relationship among these figurines. Anyone can guess? Not counting the fact that they are all Konoha ninjas and that they have summoning techniques (those are the summoned creatures).

I prefer Konohamaru’s “Nanda Kore”. :P

williamnyk,
Oh, that’s right. Never noticed before. Do you know what that means?

i have not watch naruto before, but dattebayo has no meaning :x
it’s taken from da (=desu=copula), verb + tteba (“i said!”), and yo (emphasizing end particle)
the whole effect is probably to appear stronger in tone…

uzuki,
Thanks for the explanation. Maybe Naruto want to emphasise what he said? :-)
