There was always that one kid at school who ran to lunch like this
Fun Facts by NightWolf: Robert Patrick based his character's movements in 'Terminator 2' off an American Bald Eagle: http://i.imgur.com/JBEde12.gif
Aimanfire
I knew 2 kids in 2nd grade that did that. Nobody else though, to my knowledge
Grubenwolf
Yup as a teenager I used to believe this made me run faster. Fuck I was stupid. Such cringey times my teenage years...
Buck39
Shouldn't the vegan on the right have a 3 on his shirt?
CorneliusCornwall
Oh god I used to try and run like that. *cringes at past self*
hooktail419
Christ, I did it as a joke a few weeks ago and felt like a complete ass. How did you do it?
echonite
I knew that kid at my school. A tall white guy. So disappointing...
vycey
Came for the Naruto run, up voted for the Bokuto cosplayer.
2NE1LSTNG
My 14 year old brother runs like his... On purpose. He thinks he's cool. He's not cool.
Aelinsaar
I'm cringing with my entire soul.
SamSquanch148
They were all in cosplay. The other two were in cosplay from a sports anime. Almost positive the one in red is from Haikyu.
Aelinsaar
Good point, and yes, I think you're right about Haikyu.
Primaltiguere
Luckily, this looks like satire.
flickindabean
Even if it wasn't I love the commitment

Praise be unto Yevon

The weeaboo is strong in this one

It makes you go faster I swear

Of course it does! Aerodynamics!

misterdode
I've been watching for 15 minutes, he doesn't. He's good at weird running.
BananaShip
Keep watching, he'll fail eventually.
c0nfusi0nbear
No i swear he doesn't
BananaShip
He does...
Actualdeadpool
Lies!

I got a 7 year old pupil that run that way 'cause he's a fan of Sonic (and kinda dumb). I laugh every fucking time.
NYTexan
FML, you're probably talking about my kid. :/
moistflob
Is that pupil me from 12 years ago, cause I did that
dangerousmelon
Me too. D:
Aedrabani
I had a friend growing up who ran just like this. He was a good kid, always took care of his family and was nice to everyone. 1/2
Aedrabani
He killed himself six years ago because of his alcoholic mom, her abusive boyfriend, and his low-functioning autistic brother. 2/3
Aedrabani
I can't make fun of people who run like this. It just makes me sad and think of Channon. Hug your loved ones, folks. 3/3
darkladyvanstar
Jesus Christ, man. Why the hell would you drop such a feels bonb like that?
Aedrabani
I don't know, the above post reminded me of him. I guess that even if it's just a comment on Imgur, it's keeping him alive somehow.
chaoticbinary
FUCKING HELL dude that went dark quick

MrTay
So your telling me it's actually a freedomnator
MooMooGoesTheFish
Running in the speed of weeb!
LordWhirlin
In addition to the other stupidness... you run like this if you're carrying knives so you don't accidentally stab yourself in the face
whatevsies
Robert Patrick was brilliant as the T-1000.
valiumkitty
Unfortunately putting your arms back like that makes you only APPEAR faster.. sigh
Wednesdude
Fun fact : Robert Patrick was not invited to participate in latest Terminator movie - but he was expecting that.
smittydoot
True ninja.
GeneralToothbrush
that kid was me.. just loved naruto :-D
walkingredditor
Just like Tina belcher

Any public school ever.

Ok, so I'm 31, I've been to a few conventions and whatnot, but I have never. NEVER. seen anyone do this.
IDontUnderstandWhyImgurNamesAreSoLongAllTheTime
I'm 27 and there were several kids in my high school that ran like this
colieco
Several kids in my middle school that ran like this.
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
Buddy of mine did that shit in high school. He now works at the pentagon.
ekzeko
The best part is people animate that way because it saves time on animation.
explosivelyshy
Here I was thinking it was because the characters need their arms/upper body relaxed and free to respond to threats immediately.
brownsugarbk
Actually ninjas would run this way because it's quieter than normal running
Coyote8
I never held my hands back. Just kind of let them dangle... arms add momentum, use em...
SlagGroove
Like tina from bobs burgers :)
Mentok
uggghhhhh
keyblader1985
They did it like this in the manga...
AndroidAnon
Sorta. Real reason is because if the arms were synced up with the leg movements it would have looked god awful and would have been (1/2)
AndroidAnon
Difficult for the viewer to read. Source: I'm getting into animation
SeaHutch
Not exactly, take a look at older anime, like Cowboy Bebop. It's all about timing and framing to keep normal runs from looking bad.
AndroidAnon
In Naruto the characters are completing one leg arc in (I think) 3 frames, where as Cowboy Bebop is less cartoony and has a more natural 1/2
AndroidAnon
Run animation. This allows them to sync arm movements up without making the characters look like they're doing all of the drugs.
kasaku
No, it's because of how ninja powers work. They just made up the thing about animation so everyone wouldn't have powers.
sc00basteve
Idk why y'all are down voting this guy, he's being 100% sarcastic...right...guys...!?
biglongandgirthyusername
Ive always wondered if it was for a good reason
Falos
If a human ever did effortlessly run at sonic speeds they'd probably be near prone, face to the ground.
stja
Nope, actually. They were drawn this way in the manga. The rationale is they run so fast air resistance is a major factor, hence the pose.
KevinBhall
i remember sonic did this too !
causality
Then they'd be better off running with arms rigidly by their sides or crossed over their chest.
ItsJustRocketScience
Arms need to balance
nopo
Yeah, but that would look even more retarded.
stja
Perhaps. I guess keeping balance also plays a role? Plus it looks way cooler this way.
dagg3r
mechanimated
There's no way moving a 1lb tail will cancel the rotational inertia of a 160lb animal that isn't rotating in the first place.
dagg3r
You know nothing of inertia
Silverforte
Throws your balance off to do that.
Corrodias
And doing this doesn't?
DomBom
You see him running don't you?
stja
Imitating this in real life is retarded, of course, but in universe it makes sense.
Thekingofbeans
How? How does it make sense just because the also have magic?
stja
Next time try to remember more than one sentence of the argument you're trying to attack.
Thekingofbeans
First, I didn't attack you. Second, you gave an explanation, but that explanation still doesn't make sense within the Naruto universe.
Panda4hire
Yup, and I did the hand signs too. Highschool I was a weeb.
jknnce
We used the dweeb, you must have never got the d :/
LetumComplexo
Don't lie to us, you still are you just hide it much better.
TheJerkWithaMouth
I wasn't even a weeb I did the run, good god why did I do the run?
BritishBatman
Yo, me too. Still am actually.
iKon2000
How long did it take you to learn some?
Panda4hire
learn some common sense, 10 years.

Shroomslapz
Yeah high school syndrome sometimes stays. Shame.
tatischief
Please I have Konoha headband. And still wear it sometimes. I am 28. So pheh why changr
aleister94
Hand signs ?
phistrong
In the manga/animé Naruto (Shippuden), hand signs are done in quick succession to cast Ninjutsu abilities. Like spells, but with ninjas.
TechnicalDrift
Nerd
aleister94
Oh like mudras
judgemasterven
Exactly like mudras. It's funny that of all the words they neglected to include, they dropped mudras.

I did that and even wore a forehead protector to school a few times.. :'( My friends get a laugh out of it now though which is fine, (1/2)
Gringuita
I'm not afraid to self-deprecate a bit for the enjoyment of my friends. I still do chidori signs for laughs, all in good fun. (2/2)
taramosalata
I do this on the odd occasion when going to the kitchen. I am 36.
AFoxInTheWires
Literally any time no one is around and I have to get somewhere in the house. I am 35.
CIAtimetravelinghitlerkiller
My whole football team does this on kickoff during practice. We also make chicken noises so.
GrizzlyWicks
i tend to run around as fast as i can on all fours when im on my own ...any one else do that
FrostTide
Oh thank god I'm not alone
Falos
I lived at a place with a rather narrow staircase awhile, when hurrying through them the pose kinda helped.
valen00
Try making wooshing noises next time, you'll go faster
AfroSamuraiRM
Or do some dragonball z shit, close your eyes and move in a direction really fast. INSTANT TRANSMISSION!!!!
AFoxInTheWires
I make little electricity crackling/energy noises under my breath.
