In the U.S. on Cartoon Network, on some of the shows on the bottom half of the tv, it says the new episode of Naruto comes on tonight and it also says, "Jiraiyah Returns!", meaning Jiraiya's name was spelled wrong.
Jiraiya: Did you fall on your head when you were a baby? Is that what makes you this way?
(Naruto jumps on a log to find a stuffed animal instead of Jiraiya) Naruto: A Substitution Jutsu huh. Not bad old man. (Runs off) (Stuffed animal transforms into Jaraiya) Jiraiya: That was close. Little squirt, he'll have to be a lot smarter than that to outfox the Toad Mountain Sage. Naruto: (Pops out from behind the log) Oh yeah, how am I doing now?
(Jiraiya takes off in a whirlwind) Naruto: That was cool! I don't care if he is a dirty old man, that guy's the real deal.
Naruto: Where's your sense of responsibility? You've gotta train me. Jiraiya: Not on your life! I can't work with someone who has no respect for a true artist. Naruto: Uhhhh... Jiraiya: Besides, I don't like kids.
Naruto: (To Ebisu) Hey...perv...you awake? One way to find out, Hidden Finger Jutsu, 1,000 Years of Death. (Pokes him in the bum)
Jiraiya: You see, I'm a novelist. I am a writer of great books...like this! (Jiraiya pulls out Make-out Paradise) Naruto: Huh? WHAT?! YOU WROTE THAT?! Jiraiya: Yes! I see you know it! (Thinking) Heh heh, I'm famous and it's not even out in paperback yet!
Naruto: I was right! You are pathetic. You're nothing but a lousy little pervert! Jiraiya: I am not a little pervert. Naruto: Oh yeah? Then tell me, what are you?! Jiraiya: I'm a big one. Naruto: (Eyes twitching) Oh great...that makes all the difference.
Jiraiya: Stop calling me perverted hermit! I'm a great man, you know! Naruto: A great perverted hermit? ~Japanese version
Jiraiya: You Passed! Naruto: This guy is an idiot. ~Japanese version
Jiraiya: (Upon seeing the Sexy no Jutsu) What do you call this technique? Naruto: Um...Sexy no Jutsu... Jiraiya: Brilliant! You're a genius! ~Japanese version
Naruto: I'm starting to think this technique is only effective against adults. ~Japanese version
Naruto: Hey! You are just a pervert, you perverted hermit! Jiraiya: No, I am no ordinary pervert! Naruto: What? Don't play dumb with me! Jiraiya: I'm a super pervert! Naruto: Damn, he openly admitted it! ~Japanese version

Jiraiya's name literally means "coming on one's own".

In the English version of this episode, Naruto says the color of his normal chakra is blue. In the Manga and the Japanese version of the episode, he says it's yellow.
We learn that the Third Hokage sent ninjas to find Jiraiya.
In the dub version, "Perverted Hermit" gets changed to "Pervy Sage".
Jiraiya explains to Naruto how he possesses two kinds of chakra: His own, and the chakra of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
This is the first episode in the dub to have an original opening theme song, in this case it's "Haruka Kanata".

Original Episode Title: Coming Soon! Enter the Perverted Sennin! Romaji Episode Title: Aiyashibaraku! Ero Sennin Toujou! Kanji Episode Title: あいやしばらく!エロ仙人登場!
Jiraiya undoes Orochimaru's Five Elemental Seal on Naruto's Kyuubi chakra. Once undone, Naruto gains better control over his normal chakra as well.
Jiraiya wrote the series, Make Out Paradise. Kakashi is a big fan of this book.
Jiraiya is the stereotypical pervert-sensei, much like Mutenroshi-sama of Dragonball. In the manga, while being trained by Sarutobi-sensei (the current Hokage) Jiraiya claims his peeping skills are unmatched. Now he uses his peeping skills for... research.
Jiraiya is one of the legendary three Leaf Ninjas, along with Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who hasn't shown up in the anime yet.
Jiraiya is named after the character of the same name from Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari (Ž™—'–ç�'Œ†•¨Œê, "The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya"). The Jiraiya in this story excelled in summoning a giant toad and toad magic. In that story, Jiraiya and Tsunade were a married couple.
Jiraiya acts just like Master Roshi, a character from the Dragon Ball series. Master Roshi was also crazy about girls, only Jiraiya is way more crazier about girls than he is. This may be because Masashi Kishimoto was inspired by the Dragon Ball series and Akira Toriyama.
