So many folklore elitests thinking they are above those who noticed the obvious Naruto reference.

Sure, Jiraiya is from Japanese folklore. But the way he is portrayed here and the stance is CLEARLY based on the Naruto character. His pose is exactly the same as one Jiraiya in Naruto often does, and he looks very similar.
