Raruto is a Spanishwebcomic by Jesús García Ferrer (Jesulink); Raruto parodies the Japanese anime and manga series Naruto. The series has been available in "Salón del Manga" events in Spain. As of 2008 about 40,000 people in Spain read his webcomic. Because of Raruto and other Spanish manga-inspired works, García became famous on the internet. Raruto has translations in Catalan, Chinese, English, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Rik translated the first six chapters in English, while Leecherboy translated the subsequent chapters in English. Jesulink received an award for being the best Spanish artist at an ExpoManga event. Raruto began on 30 October 2005 and concluded on June 6, 2008.
Originally Raruto was a hobby of Jesulink, but as time passed he felt that the series became a "responsibility" for him, and he became careful with how he portrayed the characters so his readers would be satisfied. Raruto was created to satirize anime and manga properties that already existed.
Characters
Zumomaki Raruto - A parody of Naruto Uzumaki, Raruto is a boy from Torroja village who possesses a demon fox inside of him. Jesulink named the character "Raruto" because The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has a character, Laruto, named in the Japanese version "Sage Raruto." Jesulink chose the name "Raruto" because The Legend of Zelda series video games are his favourite video games. In addition in Spanish "raro" means "weird," so his name could be translated as "Weirdto." The family name "Zumomaki" is also a pun. In Spanish "zumo" means "juice." The translator says "but it makes no sense..."
Kuchilla Saske - A parody of Sasuke Uchiha, Saske says that he hates "everything, white rice above all." The name "Saske" originates from "Sasuke" of the original character, and is pronounced the same as the name of the original character. In Spanish "cuchilla" means "Knife."
Margarina Flora - A parody of Sakura Haruno. In Spanish "Flora" refers to plants, and a "Flor" refers to a flower. The character's name refers to the original character's name, "Sakura," meaning "cherry blossom." In Spanish "Margarina" means "margarine," and a brand of margarine in Spain is "Margarina Flora."
Kagate Kakasi (Kágate Kakasí) - A parody of Kakashi Hatake. In Spanish "caca" refers to feces and "sí" means yes, so his name means "Yes, poopoo." In Spanish "cagate" means to defecate.
Places
Torroja - A parody of Konoha Village. "Torroja" is an abbreviation for "toda" and "roja," so the village name means "all red." The translator says "it doesn't makes any sense, I know... it just sounds funny." [sic] In Spanish "ja" is pronounced like the "ha" in Konoha. In addition, there is an actual Spanish town called Torroja.
The Rave Country - A parody of the Land of Waves.
Terminology
Bigbosses (Jefazo) - They are the parody of the Hokage. The name is intentionally written as "Bigbosses" in English.
Technica Kagon, Gran Bola de Fuego - The technique is a parody of Katon, Gōkakyū no Jutsu. Because the words "kagón" and "katon" are related, the author of Raruto kept much of the name of the technique being parodied.
