The Naruto Run refers to the unique running style of the characters in the popular anime Naruto, characterized by leaning forward with arms stretched out behind the back. While iconic within the anime community for years, it transcended into a massive mainstream phenomenon in 2019 during the viral 'Storm Area 51' Facebook event, where it was joked that the running style would allow people to dodge bullets. Since then, the template has been used to represent someone moving with extreme determination or speed toward a goal, often something absurd or nostalgic, or hilariously fleeing from life's many responsibilities.
