Episode 64 Discussion

[photonic]

Well, I think it's been 24 hours since they released it. Overall, I thought it was a really good episode. Did anyone else notice the new music? I liked it. The only thing I didn't like is that Shikamaru quit. If he's so smart, why didn't he just beat Temari's head on her fan like he did to the Sound girl in his last match? It was right there. I can't wait for 65. I hope Gaara destroys Sasuke.

[Merco]

That wouldn't have worked. The only reason the sound nin got smacked in the prelim was that she didn't know that the wall was so close behind her.

The way the shadow imitation works (I believe) is that there's some amount of resistance which could occur during the jutsu. If the person knows that something is going to happen which would hurt him/her, then if they have enough will, they could break the jutsu. With temari, since the fan was straight in front of her, if she knew that she was going to get her head banged against it, then there would be a chance that the jutsu could have been broken.

[Anbu Girl]

I cant wait for the next episode.. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_jumpon.gif

7th of Jan http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif ..

[itachi_]

And on the 14th there will be a special extra big episode 1 hour, i wonder what that contains? but one week after this big release there ain't gonna be naruto. they making to many interuptions

[Thermonuclear]

Shikamaru should wear a large metal plate around his left or right arm. That way when he uses shadowbind jutsu he can make his opponent kick that metal plate with his kneebone OR the long bone connecting knee to ankle, while Shikamaru kicks the other persons arm and makes direct contact http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif.

New Naruto Special
That&#39;s right, a new Naruto special aired today at the jump festival in japan. That&#39;s a place where they show specials for series that are featured in the jump magazine and where they show off other Jump related stuff. They &quot;aired&quot; the special on a movie screen so I don&#39;t think there will be a raw available on the Internet for us to fansub. They did the same thing for the leaf clover special so we had to wait until they released it on DVD, and that&#39;s prolly what&#39;s gonna happen for this one too. Be patient, the DVD will be released in like... a few months so... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

You can visit this link for more infos about it... but its in japanese...

*UPDATE*

I also just heard from Crustol that on january 14th, there will be a Naruto 1 hour special... But the week after, there won&#39;t be an episode airing. Enjoy&#33;

I don&#39;t think they can resist it. My guess is when Shikamaru dodged the shuriken he broke the shadow link which would have givin her a chance to change her motion. That or perhaps he didn&#39;t want to kill her.... perhaps he thought she was boinkable...

So yeah Shik should have bowed down really fast and made her wap her head on the fan.

[Grey_wolf]

Gaara is going to loose this time.. not against sasuke alone. Im sure he is gonna get help.

shikamaru is a boring guy.. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif sure he is smart.. but he is to.. troublesome http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

no doubt he OWNS&#33;

Yea Shik rules but its too bad he use his shadow in different ways like that dude in &quot;guilty Gear&quot; the guy who attacks with shadows.... oh well i forgot his name. but Shik still rules

If Shikamaru doesn&#39;t like the naruto show any more he can try

He would just own everyone out in Hikaru no go, and that wouldn&#39;t be much fun since i like Hikaru http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

But man, who would have thought tha shik was such a smart ass. I have always considered him as a funny guy, i like his style; but i never saw that coming.

Anyway, even if Shikamaru gave up, it is clear to me that he was the winner in every aspect, he was cooler and acted smarter http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif And that counts in my book http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[markos]

that was a good episode http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif

[Karasu]

mmm Shikamaru is just so soft http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif Really nice episiode, nice to see Shikamaru and whynot Temari do something http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif Too bad Kankuro gave up the Shino vs him, would have been a nice fight to see I guess.

Hmm why is it Shikamaru didnt just win? well Temari isnt some lowlife dumbass either and Shikamaru is a team fighter not a one on one fighter.. So he used to much time trying to bind Temari that his chakara wore out. If he would have had some left im pretty sure he would finnish it off. He said there in the end he had 200 more moves thought up allready but time/chakara wasnt on his side.

And next up is Saslooser and Gaara uuuu scary one.. sasuke is gonna get it bad.

[Assertn]

hmm.....having shikamaru release the shadow just before kin hit her head does sound like a reasonable assumption....after all it seems that when gaara got hit by naruto, that shikamaru felt it as well.

the point of shikamaru giving up though was that he didnt really want to participate in the first place, he just wanted to prove that he was better than temari

[Shinji Ikari]

shouldn&#39;t Temari have been disqualified getting help from kankuro and all? That is like cheating.

[sexy_no_jutsu]

well, shikamaru said it before. he cant go hitting women all the time. he has to think of his image http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Naruto have never told anyone to do at least. He only motivates people with his yelling.

[Paithan]

Shikamaru rocks&#33; He gave up only because he thought it would be too troublesome to continue the fight without chakra. &quot;The clouds are nice&quot;

[el3ctro]

he didnt say he had planned 200 more moves... he said he had thought of 200 different choices he could make in these next ten seconds (proving how incredibly smart he is)
and giving up was the best choice....

big difference there http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

edit : also my view on this episode was that it was pretty cool, but i hate sasuke
so i hope he hasnt surpassed naruto by training with kakashi

[pavi]

if shika wanted to be really smart, then he should get a kunai leg-strap holster on both his legs. that way, he could always throw a kunai at the enemy without recieving one back. but then itd be to cheap and hed have instant ownage so no dice

no i dont think it was 200 moves for the next 10 seconds, i think it was 200 moves had he not succeeded with the hole trick, and if he had more than 10 seconds of chakra left

[Orion Guardian]

I think it doesn&#39;t matter if he gave up, he has to becom chuunin for this very cool ep. Shikamaru si my afv. from now one, as I know how he really is, I knew he was a good strategyst [from the forest of dead] but THAT good....

[lordks]

well Shikamaru did not wanted to fight..so he was only looking for a way to give up but the girl was too troublesome http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

[Moses The White]

I think Shikamaru was just being brilliant. He knew that becoming a Chuunin was more about your skills than how many matches you won, and he also knew that he had shown everything he had to the judges during that match, so he didn&#39;t need to fight again. Plus, he&#39;s showing a bit of warrior&#39;s compassion; everybody knows she&#39;d be dead if this was a real battle... who gets to move on is just a technicality.

Also... did we see Sasuke at all this episode? Someone made a comment about his new outfit??

</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>


My reason for thinking that they can resist it is the fact that they are always shaking when it happens. If the Shadow Imitation was perfect and the person snared had no power over it, then that wouldn&#39;t have been possible. Both Temari and the sound nin girl would act exactly like Shikamaru... no shaking or trembling. There&#39;s that and the fact that there was no indirect tactic Shikamaru could have taken advantage of in the 3rd exam. (possibly the hole, but he already pointed it out to her after he made the connection). This is my opinion at least. No need to confirm it with Kishimoto or anything http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

And yes I agree. Shikamaru is the coolest acting character in the Naruto series right now. I think Asuma could probably be a close second. It&#39;s the whole indifference thing that&#39;s so cool. Everybody is a ninja to do something and Shikamaru is basically mocking all of em by being lazy and saying that everything is troublesome. That kicks ass. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

[Insomniac]

Shikimaru didnt want to hit Temari (says it at the start of the ep)
and he didnt want to go to the next round because it would be too much effort, he barely wanted to be in this fight.

Its nothing to do with resistance btw, they&#39;re always resisting it.
Shikamaru didnt want Kin to see it because he didnt really want to hurt her, basically he hates the thought of hitting chicks and if she never saw it coming he wouldnt be blamed beforehand and hes got a clear concious

[Xeo]

Shikamaru has showed enough to be a Chuunin, he doesn&#39;t need to do anymore. But I don&#39;t think he&#39;s actually really trying to show off his skills because he doesn&#39;t care enough about becoming a Chuunin... it&#39;s too troublesome. He wants to live a fun life as a ninja, and that&#39;s it. Plus, no one was interested in his fight anyway, so bah... The only motivation for this fight was just not to lose to a girl. Actually, so far, in the third exam, it seems like all the losers have a shot at becoming Chuunin. I mean Neji didn&#39;t do that badly himself.

[Beautiful Green Beast]

Shikamaru deserves the title Chuunin&#33; Easily&#33;

[Jiraya]

why cant shikamaru use kunai or shuriken during kagemane no jutsu ?
the opponent will just whip the air while the kunai thrown by shikamaru will rip her ...



there might really be something with resistance in the jutsu .

[abomb]

the reason he gave up was simple. he&#39;s lazy. he didn&#39;t want to fight in the next round. it wouldve been too much of a hassle

its not that he can&#39;t...its just that if he uses it, the other person will too. remember what happened with kin? he threw a shuriken, and she did as well. thats y ppl are suggesting diff things he could do, like a kunai in the ground, or where a holster on both legs, etc.

i think the easiest thing to do would be to walk forward, and have temari walk in to the hole naruto made.....then when shes in the whole, she can&#39;t walk any further. so shika just has to walk up to her, and start punching her head.....all temari would b doing is punching the ground.


but then again, hes done everyhting he need to. remember ninja missions are in teams.....so once someone&#39;s in his kage mane no jutsu, a team mate could simply take care of them. shika doesn&#39;t have to do anything him self. the point is just to get the jutsu to work. theres no doubt he&#39;ll become a chuunin......

Oh yeah, we saw how those rainnin specialized in Bunshin beat him or how Sakura and Ino could beat him. Or that guy in the first episode. There are a lot of people weaker than him. And the Kyubi is part of Naruto just like the sand is of Gaara or the Sharingan of Sasuke.

He dont care if he becoms Chuunin or not but he didnt want to lose to a girl. So he showed Temari that he could beat her but he refused to win. Do u understand what I mean..probably not

[Kagari]

haha Yeah, someone sadi this, but Shikamaru proved everything he could do in the match, and he didn&#39;t want to hit Temari.


Plus, I don&#39;t think he&#39;d want to fight Shino, they are friends, and Shikamaru is lazy.

I&#39;m thinking maybe saying his shadow would run out in 10 seconds was an excuse&#33;

He was impressed by Temari&#39;s calculating skills and wanted to save face http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif Maybe he likes her.

[DB_Hunter]

Well my first thoughts were that he used the shadow of Temari&#39;s fan to grab her when she realised she couldn&#39;t move anymore.

As for hitting Temari, he could have just made the motions that made Temari pick up the fan infront of her and keep whacking it over her head until she passed out.

[boomorman]

lol all he could get was a tadpole with 2 legs without the kyubi. Granted that was a strong looking tadpole. Got a question.... Where do all of these Giant frogs, Snakes, Turtles/whatever else live??? I mean they must be somewhere before they get summoned right?

[Uzumaki Kakashi]

the animals live ina specail place and then jsut teleprot there.

also y shouldnt shika wear TWO kunai holsters and just use his arem that doesnt hold kunai holsters on the enemy.

also imagine if shikamru wasnt so lazy maybe he would even be better than because he trys just a little bit.

[Nautek]

Shika is good he is but he also is boring =/ no speed in his jutsu hehe. But I hate that Temari, she is way to cocky, sad that Shika didn&#39;t win =/ Temari need to cool down a bit.

[Karasu]

Well I dont know if it was 200 moves in the next 10 sec or not. I look in the manga when the raw comes to try and understand anything and there they say it like he has thought of 200 more moves he could have done in the match.. but who cares http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif Shikamaru is a cool guy anyway

[Harageki]

hes gonna be .... while temari would be... then...yup http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif

[Shikai]

first off all this was a good eps. And say this really was a fight with only 1 person coming out alive Shikamaru should have done the same in the episode except he should have put a kunai in the ground.. then when his shadow immitation works, he just need to pick up the kunai.. and becuz Temari doesn&#39;t have a kunai in the ground in front of her, she won&#39;t be able to throw the kunai, like shikamaru does.. then Temari dies and Shikamaru wins the match.. How does that sound?

[RaZzy]

hey nice idea lol, but he also could just walk to the left or so till temari hits the wall
boink it a few times and temari is dead http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

With Kakashi, Sasuke has already passed Naruto, but it is highly highly doubtful any shinobi can pass Kyubi. With the Hokage that put Kyubi down dead, there is probably no one else that can stop Naruto should he go crazy once more. Before the tournament, Naruto learned to summon the frog boss, and a lil bit of standing on water. While Sasuke probably learned some new tricks. Everyone in Konoha and the shinobi&#39;s from other villages can beat Naruto (excluding Kiba) w/o the use of Kyubi (excluding kiba again). Naruto learned to summon in one day and slacked off the rest of his month. jeez i dont know wh at i just said.

Temari isn&#39;t that cocky...if you want cocky you should look at tenten, there were so many times during the naruto/neji fight that i wanted to smack her.

exactly, or if he hold kunai before the ennemy grab some, he&#39;ll be the only one throwing

i don&#39;t want to spoil, but you&#39;ll see very soon that the fact he didn&#39;t do it is strange .

lol that could be excellent &#33;
but we have to remember that he don&#39;t have a huge amount of chakra left :/

Oh yeah, we saw how those rainnin specialized in Bunshin beat him or how Sakura and Ino could beat him. Or that guy in the first episode. There are a lot of people weaker than him. And the Kyubi is part of Naruto just like the sand is of Gaara or the Sharingan of Sasuke.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
remember the first day you saw naruto really angry, summoning tons of clones ?
and after, at max 4 clones ?
don&#39;t underestimate naruto,even without kyuubi&#39;s chakra he can easilly beat tons of opponent, but you&#39;ll soon see ...

he&#39;ll just summon 3 times hundred of naruto, then summon gamabunta and transform gamabunta with his own chakra, kuyybi will be no help until the end of the fight , so he&#39;s amazing . It&#39;s just that he can&#39;t control his feelings enough , and is quite never serious :/

Jiraya use the spoiler colour font next time and edit your last post quickly before the mods see it... though you may get a warning since your new.

Shikamaru would never hit a girl...at least not directly...however what he wanted to do was to give up.

Me too...ten ten is just too cocky&#33;

[DemonRyu]

Shikamaru said he thought up 200 ways to defeat her,but he didn&#39;t want to fight anymore cuase if he won he would have to fight again.
Naruto didn&#39;t learn summoning in one day..did he?

lmao...exactly. `Neji - this` and `Neji -that`...shut it woman&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif

[DemonRyu]

Reminds you of sakura doesn&#39;t she. Both obsessed with one person.

[Uberbaka]

Shikamaru should have taken up his top, that would have made her give up pretty fast http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

[The_Fourth]

I also think ten ten is too cocky. I hope she would of passed to the real third test so she could get her ass whip. Anyways, I also liked the episode it was really cool.

[DB_Hunter]

Some people were talking earlier either in this topic or some other that they wanted to see more of Lee and Gai.... spare me the mockery if this has already been stated but in the preview of the next ep Lee and Gai are shown, well their eyes anyway.

[RoMuLuu]

Yes, I think it was a great episode, except one thing... Is Shikamaru really is so smart and has the IQ over 200, and he did a great plan against Temari. Then how did&#39;t he notice that his chakra was going to end judt a bit too early. And he didn&#39;t even hurry up when knew that he he only had a little chakra left. Well... maybe it was just ment to be that Shikamaru was going to quit.

[itsgalf]

What Shikamaru should have done was ran to position temari next to the arena walls and then he should have done the same thing that he did to the sound girl.

But he should get a metal plate implanted in his forehead, make the person walk close to him and then make them headbutt each other.
