The third season of the Naruto anime series, titled "3rd Stage" in Japan, is directed by Hayato Date, and produced by Studio Pierrot and TV Tokyo.[1] Based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga series, the season follows Sasuke Uchiha joining up with Orochimaru after Tsunade becomes the Fifth Hokage.
The season aired from September 15, 2004 to June 29, 2005 on TV Tokyo.[2] It was also released with the English version from August 2007 to February 2008. It was shown on Cartoon Network's Toonami and YTV's Bionix programming blocks.[3][4] Sony Pictures Entertainment collected the episodes in a total of twelve DVD volumes, each containing four episodes,[5] between January 1 and December 7, 2005.[6][7] The English adaptation of these dub was released between twenty-first and thirty-second DVD volumes released by Viz Media,[8][9] while various compilations were later released.[10][11]
The theme musics for the Japanese version include two openings and four endings. The first opening is Sambomaster's "Seishun Kyōsōkyoku" (青春狂騒曲, lit. Youth's Rhapsody), which is replaced by Stance Punks's "No Boy No Cry" (ノーボーイ·ノークライ, Nō Bōi Nō Kurai) from episode 136 onwards. The endings are "Ryūsei" (流星, lit. Meteor) by TiA (used until episode 106), "Mountain A Go Go 2" (マウンテン·ア·ゴーゴー·ツー, Maunten A Gō Gō Tsū) by Captain Straydum (used for episodes 107 to 117), "Hajimete Kimi to Shabetta" (はじめて君としゃべった, lit. The First Time I Spoke With You) by GaGaGa SP (used for episodes 118 to 127), and "Nakushita Kotoba" (失くした言葉, lit. Lost Words) by No Regret Life (used for the rest of the episodes). The English version replaces the endings with an instrumental version of "Rise" by Jeremy Sweet and Ian Nickus.
