The run comes from Naruto, the long-running anime series following ninja Naruto Uzumaki, whose distinctive sprint with arms trailing behind the body became instantly recognisable to fans. Outside the show, the pose turned into a widespread meme in the mid-2010s, copied in real life, cosplay and viral videos, and it surged again during the 2019 Storm Area 51 joke where crowds planned to Naruto run past guards. This Edo run variant circulates on TikTok as a short edit sound for sprint and chase clips.
