I know it doesn't fit in with Kakashi and Naruto's will of fire or ninja way or whatever. But Tsunade and Gaara really were right on this one, assuming the original plan would have succeded.

If the bad guy with the 'super speed' element hadn't just stood there going 'i cant absorb it! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' while Naruto slowly fell towards the ground with his fist-range attack then things might have ended quite badly indeed

I would think 'holy poo poo I wasn't expecting that' but I'm too used to these shows ressurecting people which kinda ruins the effect

e: and has anyone told the anime people that watching fat [s]japanese[s] ninja kids cry is really annoying

I also like how Sakura pulled a trump card to avoid a nuke like Sasuke using one of the big three's summons, though I'm sure it wasn't on purpose.

Didn't Tsunade tell it to do that? I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people in Konoha are covered in slug

Oh hell yes. I've been waiting for those red eyes for drat near forever. Pity about the event that triggered it though.

That part where Pain turned into an inhuman blob was terrible.

Given the beating he was sustaining, being turned into an inhuman blob would have made more sense than what actually happened.

Welp at least characters of consequence were dead for a little while, I knew that was too renegade to last. They could have at least left Hinata dead for a little while if there is going to be some ridiculous mass ressurection

This illustrates the hard childhood he had far better than vague montages of people silently staring at him and his fox shadow. It probably should have come earlier though.

Wait did Tsunade (however the gently caress you spell it) die? Or is she stepping down? I can't even remember now to be honest I just remember her being conspicuously absent from the last non-filler episode where they were praising him and whatnot.

She is in a kakashi-style "wahhh I used up too much chakra" coma and will probably only be awakened by the spirit of youth or something.

That was a good episode, it seems like Kisame was made for that fight.
I hope we are going to get to see some Naruto/Bee hijinks: seeing them get combo savage beatings by Sakura/Raikage must be inevitable.

I don't quite see how in her instant transition from creepy Sasuke obsessed stalker to murderous brooding nutcase that Sakura has managed to convince herself she has a hope in hell of killing the guy.

I was really really wanting karin to stay dead but the preview pretty much annihilated any hope of that. Women in this show are just abhorrent.

I don't think we can approach that level of content stretching again.

Why bother stretching content when you can spend 90% of the episode recapping old content.

I've really held out for a long time on Sasuke. I've been in Naruto's corner, hoping that the peaceful option will prevail.

Man, just gently caress this guy already. How much can he do before Naruto realizes that Sasuke is a dangerous rear end in a top hat?
You really expect the peaceful option to not prevail? I mean I'm sure there will be one or two mega Naruto/Sasuke throwdowns with summons and demons and eyes and lots of clones getting instantly popped and rasengans and poo poo but you just know that in the end the three are all going to live happily ever after and all will be forgiven

That was awful, but also don't forget the Curry of Life filler arc. Lee gets drunk and eats curry. I want more of that.

Arcs can be quite good, it's the one-off "ugh I guess we better come up with something to do this week" stories that are terrible. The recent Tenten weapon factory one in particular was just awful in art and story and everything. Even if you ignore the fact that it focused on Tenten.

I am stunned that Karin seems to have accepted reality for what it is; I was convinced she was going to take Inos place in the Ino-Sakura Sasuke Stalker Rivals Society.

Welp, I officially hate Sakura. Seriously, she actually has to debate whether she'd first provide medical attention to Naruto or Sasuke on the battlefield?!

Hmmm if both seriously injured and under my care at the same time, do I save my best friend and hero who saved our people and holder of our tailed beast or the guy who is actively trying to kill us all and just tried to kill me? What a bizarrely specific and not-foreshadowing-at-all dilemma for our heroine to ponder!

I really want to know what was in that last coffin. My brother suggested it might be the sage of the six paths or his sharingan son because what else could make Madara react like that

Not a single post since 4/7. I'm not far enough along to know, but is it filler all the way down from there?

Yes. The last one I watched didn't even have a single frame of original animation, they just cut and pasted from pre-shippuuden episodes

I liked it, we have seen Naruto become mega powerful so he easily vapourised powerful but not world-destroying enemies. It makes a nice change from being conveniently only just as powerful as the opponent of the day.

And yes I watched next episodes pre-shippuuden preview with horror.
