One of the most charismatic characters Naruto without a doubt it is Jiraiya. The legendary mountain sannin left the manga’s protagonist with many lessons, from learning to walk on water to creating the mythical Rasengan, but one of his main weaknesses was being a waifu, and cosplayer Funsized turned him into a waifu.
Inspired by fan art, Funsized has recreated Master Jiraiya through cross-play, in which he himself will likely stop training the future Seventh Hokage and begin research for his next adult novel.

Thanks to this crossplay, we can see key elements such as a bandana with the kanji for “abura”, which can be translated as “butter”, a key element among the sages of Mount Myoboku, home to the toads that Jiraiya summons during the series.
Additionally, the cosplayer breaks some ninja rules by stealing Naruto’s toad bag, a prime example of how money can corrupt the most powerful warrior. Other things that ninjas should avoid are drinking alcohol, as it can interfere with their mission, and women, as they can distract them due to desire.

Although Jiraiya breaks the three taboos of a ninja throughout Naruto, we cannot deny the great power that with attacks like Rasegan, Summoning Technique, Quicksand Land Style and the mythical Sage Mode, which he only half dominated as he needed It was his teachers, Fukasaku and Shima, who helped him achieve it.
Funsized has also made cosplays of Yumeko Jabami from Kakegurui, Bulma from DragonBall, or Sakura Haruno from Naruto. And would you allow this version of Jiraiya to train you on your way to becoming Hokage?
