The format

What does Naruto Handshake mean?

Also called Madara and Hashirama Handshake · Senju Uchiha Alliance · Red Handshake Meme

Two sides shake hands, then a red close-up emphasizes what brings them together. Label each character and use the lower panel for their shared habit, opinion, or goal.

The two upper labels name distinct groups. The lower caption reveals an overlap that matters more, for this joke, than their differences.

The red close-up makes the agreement feel unusually intense. A trivial shared habit can therefore look like an important alliance.

Origin

Madara and Hashirama agree to build a village together.

The handshake comes from Naruto Shippuden’s “My True Dream,” first broadcast in July 2014. Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju represent rival clans coming together to found a shinobi village. [1] [2]

Labeled versions of the scene were circulating by September 2018. On June 6, 2020, Reddit user gaudinator posted a template with the red handshake close-up, giving the comparison a separate panel for the shared trait. [2]

How the meme spread

  1. My True Dream airs

  2. Labels give the characters new identities

    An early documented Twitter example uses the upper scene without the red close-up. [2]

  3. The red close-up is added

    A Reddit template by gaudinator provides the two-panel layout used here. [2]

Caption guide

Name two sides, then their common ground.

Label Madara on the left and Hashirama on the right in the upper panel. Put their shared trait beneath the enlarged handshake in the lower panel.

The groups should be different enough for their agreement to be interesting. Keep each group label brief and save the longer phrase for what they have in common.

The first side
On Madara’s robe at the upper left.
The second side
On Hashirama’s robe at the upper right.
What they agree on
Below the enlarged handshake in the red panel.
  • The upper labels name the two sides.
  • The lower label names their shared trait.
  • Keep both faces and the clasped hands visible.
  • Choose a specific overlap rather than a vague similarity.
