Naruto Shippuuden Episode 26

[StillAlive]

Dattebayo: Naruto Shippuuden - 26 (http://www.dattebayo.com/t/ns026.torrent)

[Assertn]

wut? man.....there's some sweet animation...but some of it looks just weird.

Also, lol @ the cliffhanger

[mage]

good episode, but the way they just kinda "flashed" the ending was pretty lame.

[darkmetal505]

Damn, Chiyo's puppets are better than half the ninjas out there.

[itadakimasu]

zomg! this ep was awesome.

yet again, sakura shows that she too can be a bad ass ninja!
i actually thought that it was over and that i'd get to see kakashi unleash teh fury, naruto and kakashi have been chasing deidara for the past 10 weeks.

[Munsu]

I really liked the episode, action packed from start to finish... plus we didn't see Gai's team doing some ballet dances with their clones.

[DDBen]

This was honest a great episode aside from the preview for next weeks shows what appears to be way to much. Its nice to not see Clone fights for now the last 2 weeks and Kakashi is clearly building up chakra for something awesome.

[Jeff_from_MD]

Now I'm beginning to see how Sasori's a wee bit better than Deidara. Sasori's like frankenstein in a bottle.

And Sakura stopped looking so goofy lately. Her smirks after every mega punch weren't exactly becoming of her, but now a couple sincere acrobatic poses of her and suddenly I'm ooh la la.

[Crash]

As everyone else has pretty much said already, great episode. It's a shame though that Sakura went and pulled a Naruto there at the end and has now pretty much guaranteed Chyo's death. The fighting in this ep was awesome though, best fight scene we've witnessed in shippuuden so far.

[Hikyuu]

Lol, Sasori <3, Tried to power wash everyone to death.

[RyougaZell]

Great animation most of the time, kinda weird a few times. Overall a great episode. Loved that no animation was recycled/repeated during the episode.

What's with Sasori's scrolls? Did the first and fourth summon the fire and water or what?

Awesome short at the end... reminded me of the flash game where you play a girl crashing a dude with her bike to see how far he gets thrown.

[Yukimura]

Quite a nice ep, but yeah...the animation in some parts like the Baseball Pitch of Desperation and the Rope Tug of Perseverance were just odd. Sasori's power wash and flames that melt rocks were pretty lame also but everything was made up for by Chiyo's crazy awesome Puppets Coprs. I especially liked the red headed girl one with the two big swords....she just ruined everything that got within a few feet of her Also the big one who had Sakura's back since he was clearly using fighting game moves.

[masamuneehs]

now THIS is what an episode of Shippuuden should be like!

pretty awesome animation for most of it, and even the weird bits are acceptable in my book, as they beat re-using old stuff by a power roughly near infinity. I honestly didn't think that even the weird parts that Yuki mentioned were that poorly drawn. Different, but not bad. Then again, maybe I've got lower ninja-animation standards after Doppelganger Kindergarden Doodles.

The compressed water cannon part was a nice addition, even though it being the fourth scroll didn't make much sense. And, yeah, the different elemental attacks all seemed to be compressed in scrolls, with Sasori 'summoning' the elemental and shooting it out of his hands and the scroll eventually expiring.

I simply loved the 10 vs. 100 fight. Chiyo's puppets were simply awesome with their variations. Sakura rocked pretty hard as well. You kinda knew she was going to do well from when she Mario 64'd Sasori by his little poison cord. It was great to see this animated, and I'm glad they pulled their shit together for it. I thought the scenes used for the preview were a bit of an odd choice.

I saw Sakura jumping in front of Sasori's sword as a very selfless and bold move. There's only one antidote left, and now both of them are poisoned, but I thought it was because Chiyo was already poisoned, and so weak that she would have surely been killed by Sasori's attack, that Sakura saw no alternative... Or she might've just not been thinking... Either way, it's a pretty selfless act, although you kinda know the recently-introduced old woman with the familial feud against the enemy is gonna die and not an Episode 1-er.

I felt the old super crazed fanboy excitement flowing through me as I watched this episode. Good stuff.

[Assertn]

Also, I had to do a double-take at the part where Sasori's water gun pierced that cloud in the distance.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

Awesome short at the end... reminded me of the flash game where you play a girl crashing a dude with her bike to see how far he gets thrown.

Nanaka crash, heres the link lol http://www.geocities.jp/lledoece/nanaca-crash.html.

Ya this was a pretty good episode, they kinda ruined next weeks episode with the preview, showed a little to much in my opinion. Really like the water blade esque move sasori used, and the way the old ladies pupets owned everything in sight, she seemed to kill more then 100 pupets thought especially witht hat inuyasha esque windtunnel move lol.

[Carnage]

This was arguably the only good episode of Shippuuden. Nice animation, went smoothly, pace was nice, Sakura got raped in the end.....all we could ever wish for.

Can't wait for whats about to happen next episode. I do believe Naruto Part 2 starts to become a lot better next arc.

[Hikyuu]

Also, I had to do a double-take at the part where Sasori's water gun pierced that cloud in the distance.
He can power wash the heavens :D
My theory on the scrolls are That the fire scroll linked to some high pressure storage facility of gas... as it couldnt really start as fire.. It would kinda burn up Sasori's puppet body like it did the head. The water scroll was probably just another storage place.. I like it though when he cranked his hand and the pressure the water was placed under increased.. anyway yeah.. just useless fake physics for another series :D

[Idealistic]

And this week is another nice episode. I also liked how the 3 minutes didn't take up the whole show. But what was wierd is how can Sakura all of a sudden fight again, I thought the antidote only stops the poison for 3 minutes, not treat it.... If all she had to do was endure the pain she could have done that without the antidote.. Blah, ohwell, the animation and everything was really nice though.

I want to know what Kakashi is focusing his chakra for. Well we know for sure it's going to be a long range attack.

And no clone fights ftw.

It wasn't really clear what was happening next episode. Sakura is dead?

[ody]

Finally a good episode. No flashbacks, no boring ass dialog, and no repetitive fight scenes. Animation was good and pretty smooth for the most part.

It wouldn't be an antidote if it didn't treat the poison o_O

[Pessu]

Wow the best episode of shippuuden so far and maybe the best episode of naruto overrall imho.

But i think its all in vain because theres just no way chiyo and sakura are gonna get that guy.

[Idealistic]

It wouldn't be an antidote if it didn't treat the poison o_O

So ummm... Tell me why Sakura was in such a rush to try and end it before the antidote wore off to later then find out all she has to do is endure the pain.

[Kraco]

A very nice episode.

This fight also demonstrated though that Sakura made the right decision by becoming a medic. She's clearly not cut out for to be a pure fighting ninja: During one episode she twice, incorrectly, thought the enemy was already defeated. And to make it worse even a kid would have been able to ensure the victory during the first time, and to make it doubly worse Sakura is a medical ninja and should have thus had some insight into Sasori's fake body's inner workings and so realise he won't die just because the artifical parts are separated from each others.

Still, perhaps she learned her lesson. Even though it was a lesson that will likely cost the geezer's life.


So ummm... Tell me why Sakura was in such a rush to try and end it before the antidote wore off to later then find out all she has to do is endure the pain.

After the three minutes she could be poisoned again. And that's very likely with Sasori as your opponent.

[DarthEnderX]

Which is why they are now both poisons and its obvious who's gonna get the antidote because ones an old women and the other is a main character. :p


But I digress, because what we had today was our first perfect episode of Shippuden! Da dada daaaaaaa! It just rocked on all cylinders.

As far as the puppets are concerned, if I had to pick between 10 puppets that fought like fully trained ninjas and 100 puppets that fought like Gato's henchmen, I think I'd rather have the 10 puppets.

Although, like the woman said, as the puppets got destroyed, he used the strings from the destroyed puppets to take better control of the ones that were left. So they sucked to begin with but the more you destroyed the better the remaining ones fought.

It was wierd that Sasori's "brain" seems to be in his heart. Or that he kept his brain in his chest, or I'm assuming he just transferred his entire spirit to a log and organs were just irrelevant.

[Kraco]

Without a brain there would be no person and perhaps a heart is the most important organ for chakra in the Naruto universe so that would explain it. It would actually make sense to keep them both in the same nifty container that can be switched from one puppet body into an another. Things would get more complicated if there were two containers, because essentially they would both be vital, and thus two would offer twice the number of targets for an opponent.

[ASSpirine]

Great episode, loved every minute of it :)
Can't wait for the next one, those 10 puppets were awesome

Especially the one with the "wires" coming out of the head :)

Btw, maybe it's just me, but when that spine-cord thingie was coming out of Sasori to attack Sakura (4:45), it kinda seem like the old hentai anime (my cousin had) when robotic phallusses :p were used to, ehm, take advantage of innocent girls...
It kinda had that moment which made me laugh a bit.. (it's probably just me :p )

[ody]

So ummm... Tell me why Sakura was in such a rush to try and end it before the antidote wore off to later then find out all she has to do is endure the pain.

No, the antidote stays in her body for three minutes so she can inhale all the poison she wants for that duration and the poison would turn to harmless proteins. When she got stabbed by Sasori's knife-on-a-rope (which was laced with poison), all she had to do was endure the pain because the poison was nullified.

I guess she wanted to end the battle within three minutes in case Sasori decided to use poison again, either by inhalation or puncturing.

[Crash]

gah, ody beat me to it.

Well, Sasori is poison... Since he's a puppet he shouldn't fear the poison, so that's why every weapon Sasori used was drenched in the stuff. Well, all except the fire I think. Never heard of a poison fire before :rolleyes:

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

I commend Sasori for doing something that I have wanted to do for a long time....

STAB SAKURA!

Nah I thought that it was good, I liked the ep, I liked the attitude.

[Penner]

Ah yeah this is more like it! Pretty damn sweet ep and by FAR the best Shippu ep so far, and great that we didn't get to see any clonewars in this one and just a little treejumping. I just hope they keep this up and don't go back to slacker-mode ^^



Nanaka crash, heres the link lol http://www.geocities.jp/lledoece/nanaca-crash.html.

aah good ol' Nanaca Crash...had some badass record on that..gonna go see if i can find the screens in mah imageshack acc ^^

[redcat]

my guess is that this will end up like when tsunade jumped in front of naruto and got impaled with oro's sword..

[Necromas]

my guess is that this will end up like when tsunade jumped in front of naruto and got impaled with oro's sword..

Except Naruto doesn't die....

I think it's pretty safe to assume Chiyo dies, as there's only 1 dose of the antidote left, which basically means Sakura got stabbed so that Chiyo could have a less mangled corpse.

[poopdeville]

Good episode. I'm glad the animation didn't suck, as this was the first manga chapter I read and the fight didn't make much sense to me. Seeing it animated made it much clearer.

[Narasho]

In my opinion, this episode shows a vast improvement in quality over the previous weeks, and is possibly the best fighting episode this season. That's not saying much, considering the lack of quality we have been given and the general slowness at which the plot seems to be unfolding, but I am hoping for continued improvement (in both plot and animation) as the weeks go by.

[Buffalobiian]

Wow. 24mins of captivated Naruto goodness, just like old times (without Naruto, :P)

Dunno what cleaned out the iron sand from Chiyo's puppet arm. Probably the water, but then I would have thought that arm would be wasted then. Thourough enjoyment.

And as mentioned, the short @ the end-> Hilarious as ever.

I disagree.

when sakura killed the 3rd kazekage puppet Chiyo was able to pour it out.

well, the control of the iron sand was lost when the 3rd Kazekage puppet was destroyed.

[Buffalobiian]

Yeah, I see now. I'd be interested in how the Third Kazekage kept his iron sand with him when he was alive. Couldn't imagine him like Gaara.

Chiyo doesn't HAVE to die. Remember, the poison will kill you in three days. That's why Sasori sent the Third Kazekage in to finish Sakura, because he doesn't plan for her survive the battle. So by the looks of things, if they're both alive after killing Sasori, then Sakura could make more antidote for Chiyo, though she'll have to find more of that plant cos she used up the Sand's supplies.

[Penner]

Ah, found it...This was my previous highscore.

This is my current highscore, and no theres no photoshop or some other shit.:)

Sorry if this might be a little offtopic, if theres some other thread this should have been posted in instead then would the mods be kind enough to move it ^^

And yes, i have waay too much free time on my hands:D

[KrayZ33]

this episode was simply cool and well animated...

but i wonder what the music is called @ 12min10sec.

anyone know where to download it? cant find it @ gendou.

[February]

woot good ep

i thought it was kind of lame how Sasori's puppets were so weak against the other ten, but some other user in this thread said that it gets stronger by attaching the chakra strings of former wasted puppets so I guess it does make sense.

the thing I found unrealistic was that right when Sakura was counting down the time she had left for the antidote to wear off, a poison weapon hits her right then when it was almost time over =P

sasori said that a puppet user's abilities are measured by the number of puppets he can use....lol @ Kankuro's 3 puppets

Sasori seems to have some kind of chest that acts like a chakra furnace, which keeps the chakra stored inside and moves out when the cover is lifted
its also very good that Sasori used himself as one of those 100 puppets incase he got attacked (which happened) But does that mean that the seal does nothing? because what Sakura caught wasnt the real Sasori but just another puppet that looks like him?

[masamuneehs]

i thought that that Sakura attacked the real Sasori with the seal Chiyo made, but that the vital 'control center' (the weird heart/brain scroll) ejected (it moved on its own when he reformed earlier also) and lodged itself in another 'backup' puppet. I say this because all the puppets instantly dropped the second Sakura sealed him, implying that Sasori was unable to connect to them while his 'control center' was still transferring to the doll that later attacked Chiyo, meaning the one Sakura attacked was the Sasori that initiated teh 100 puppet attack and was controlling them.

they show, as the 'other Sasori' attacks Chiyo, that the part on the Sealed puppet body has a vacant hole where the 'control center' had been, and it's now in the other puppet.

[Board of Command]

I think it's really lame how Sasori is actually that weird scroll thing. There have been tons of weird stuff in Naruto, but this tops the list.

[ASSpirine]

We got an ep this week, but for 2 weeks long no ep, then another 1. I really hoped they would do a special...
But a special means more Clone fightin air time

[jaguar04p]

Hi did you guys see Ichigo's Zangetsu in one of the puppets hand. I think it was around 12
:00 something. Good episode after long while.

[Killa-Eyez]

Yeah... :o All of the above. :D

[Super5]

Oh yeah.... this is what Naruto should be about. Although, Sasori's flamethrowers can melt kunai but not the little metal spouts that they're coming out of? Maybe the storywriters overdid it a little with completely unrealistic physics.

[Hikyuu]

Like I said previously it could be igniting after it leaves the spout :p if it were gas and worked on the same principle as the flame thrower.. but then again Where do physics fit into this ninja world anyway...

does look like it

They got wireless comunication but they don't have motorized vehicles...
Don't take things in naruto to serious ;)

the spout could be made of a different alloy, not every metal melts at the same temperature

[Hikyuu]

Who needs motorized vehicles when you can leap rooftop to rooftop (installing free cable)?

[ASSpirine]

That's gonna be fun when they have to transport goods :P
A whole armada of ninjas that are leaping from one roof to another, traffic jams :p

[illfated]

Best episode of shippuuden so far and I think even stands as one of the best episodes of naruto overall.

Not to flame you or anything, but not all metals, or even any substance, melt at the same temperature. It's safe to assume that sasori probably use a much stronger metal.
