What is your favorite Naruto Episode?

[Jiraiy4]

For me the best episode so far is 71...it was unbelievable (this isn't a spoiler right?just saying it was my favorite). Other honorable mentions would be: the episode where Gaara and Lee fight, Naruto with Jiraiya (hilarious), and Neji vs Naruto episode.

[Mut]

fight wise...hokage vs orochimaru and sasuke vs orochimaru.

comedy wise...anything with kakashi and gai. actually, there are A LOT of funny stuff in naruto.

[TwisT]

My favorit is 71 now http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif

I cant explain why due to spoiler rules so but i have seen Bakasans sub and i can say that you wont be disapointed in this eps..

[Late]

Naruto vs. Neji or 71.

[jing]

i havent watched 71 but for now my fav is 48 rock lee vs gaara.

[Seto Kaiba]

My fav. ep. will hve to be the 56 or 57; simply because naruto finally meets the nine tails and he charges his rent....from the payment of chakra he sommound the Big Toad that the 4th used http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_jumpon.gif

[Evil_Sasuke]

Mine would have to be the episodes that ended the Wave Country saga 18-19 or something like that because it showcased Kyubi Naruto for the first time and Sasuke got his a$$ beat for all those anti-Sasuke fans. Plus Kakashi did chidori for the first time, but it was also the end of my favorite character Haku, but also the end for one of my most hated characters Zabuza

[Locked Heart]

my fav one was ep 39, orochimaru vs sasuke..... that was so good!

[Nara Shikamaru]

the goods ones were:

the one when naruto summons a tadpool,70 and 71, the first appearance of sexy no jutsu (konohamaru's version as well) and shika vs temari (he SOOO deserves to be a chuunin). oh and the zabuza/haku series.

but my favourite one is the chuunin exam. i mean how they cheated on the test WAS SO CRAZZYYYY

[MegaMika]

Definately episode 9, where Kakashi has some great actions. The part where he copies Zabuza's hugo sealscombo rules everything.

[Chi Chi]

The fight between Haku and Naruto. Especially when Naruto powers up

[Xollence]

For me I enjoy every new episode that comes out better than the previous one. So my favorite episode at the moment is episode 71. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif

[Vagabond]

30, 48, and 71.
I'm glad to know that i'm not the only one that thought 71 was kickass.

[rEkKaShInObI]

48-51, not to much talking, not to much flashbacks, not to much BS, all good. thats the way naruto should be.

[Toruxxx]

that coming from someone with a sasuke sig lol. are u anti-sasuke then?

i dun really av a fav there&#39;s just to many good episodes

[High Wind]

My favourite episodes are probably 9, 19, 30, and 64 (lol i realy like this fight for some reason http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif)


I haven&#39;t seen 71 but i expect that to be up there once i watch it http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[NoKKiE]

the best is by far 37&#33; woo first time when gai is all like hey kakashi.. you&#39;re team is pretty good... and kakashi is all did u say something? for the first time&#33; GREATEST MOMENT EVER...

hahaha&#33;&#33;

other greatest moment is when gai is all hey lee.. watch out for the gouard.. it looks suspicious and lee is all writing it down hahaha that is great too http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

[KakashiSensei]

for me its ep 48-50 the garaa/lee fight. Cant remember the exact eps but that was by far my all time fav. naruto eps http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

[The Kyubi Naruto]

I think I have to agree with NoKKiE...

But I also loved 68.... yeah you know, the one you all hated... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_gap.gif

[Uzumaki Naruto]

i would have to say 71 cant say bc then i would be spoiling it for every body

[HimizujinEternia]

Well, I don&#39;t have favorite individual episodes, but I do have favorite sequences.

My top three episode sequences:

3.) 46-47 (Hinata vs. Neji)

I loved this fight when I first saw it, and I still do. See, Hinata is easily one of my favorite characters, and these two episodes are the reason. At first, I thought of her as merely being cute in her shyness and crush on Naruto. However, after these episodes, I saw how much potential she has as a character. After all, she was the true first person to acknowledge Naruto, and that is incredibly important.

Another thing I got out of these episodes was my sheer HATRED of Neji. I&#39;m sorry to all the Neji fans out there, but no matter how cool a character this guy is, he is easily the biggest bastard in the entire series. His view points introduced in this episode not only conflict with one of the main themes of the series, but also with mine. In my eyes, there is no fate or destiny, there is only the choices you make. Besides, he nearly killed Hinata, and as I said, Hinata is one of my favorite characters.

Oh, and one more thing: my all time favorite quote in Naruto is said in these episodes:

&quot;A Dropout can defeat a Genius with Hard Work.&quot;

2.) 48-50 (Rock Lee vs. Gaara)

Rock Lee is easily one of the most incredible characters in all of Naruto, and these three episodes are the ones where he gets the most development. These episodes demonstrate just how powerful a character Lee is. His past and his progress is shown, and he shows what it truly means to be driven. His words as he tells his goal to Gai, as well as when he&#39;s Sparring with Neji, are incredibly touching.

It has one of the most thrilling fight sequences in the series in it as well. I also find it humorous as to how torn up the floor gets in this single fight. In all, a very good pair of episodes.

1.) 60-62 (Naruto vs. Neji)

As I said, I detested Hyuuga Neji at this point, and I still dislike him to a point. This episode was pretty much payback in my eyes; Neji deserved to be beat down to the ground for what he did to Hinata and his utterly awful outlook on the universe.

That said, this fight was still incredibly enjoyable to me. We get to see Neji&#39;s reasons for being such a bastage, and we get to see my favorite attack in all of Naruto: Hakke Rokujyuuyon Shou. IT LOOKS SO FREAKING COOL&#33;

Also, these episodes also reminded me of one of my favorite scenes in any movie: the final fight with Smith in Matrix Revolutions. Not just because the action was superb and incredible, but because the whole &quot;Choice Vs. Fate&quot; theme comes into play in an incredible way here. &quot;Let me ask you something... why do you continue to fight in the face of fate?&quot; &quot;Because I choose to... I mean, because I was called a dropout.&quot; If I had the materials, I would so turn this fight into an AMV for Neodammerung and Why, Mr. Anderson?

[kimunist]

the best (section of episodes, i could not pick just one) was probably the entire 2nd chuunin exam/prelims...

this had the most variety of fighting as well as a lot of plot stories going on as well. also, we get to see a lot of team action and practically everyone in naruto in action (excluding all the adults and etc.)


i did see 71 but i dont think its the best =/

[Vlad]

it&#39;s all about 46-47 (Hinata vs. Neji)...it&#39;s just...so good.

I &lt;3 Hinata

[markos]

30, 48, 71 and that ep where naruto beat up haku - they are all made by the same graphic/animation team - i hope they&#39;ll do more eps, especially next naruto fight, because i know that it would be worth it (spoiler?)
the best solution although is to done every next ep and remake the olders by those people

[Kizo]

Episode 2&#33;
Konohamaru&#33; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif

[kage_bunshin]

well probably my favorite is ep 8 or 9 where kakashi is caught by zabuza and naruto saves the day&#33;

[ssjtrunks585]

ep 71 was EXCELLENT, ep 48-50 (w/ rock lee and gaara) and ep 30, 66-67 were my favorites otherwise...because Sasuke owns in 30 and 66-67, and rock lee owns in 48-50...if i had to pick an absolute favorite, though, it would be 71 because(hopefully isnt anything bad, but...) the music was F*CKING AWESOME during the fights... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_dribble.gif

[Power PMV]

Rock Lee vs. Gaara fight.

[itsgalf]

Episode 48. The animation and action in that is just the greatest I&#39;ve ever seen

[Hakeem_21]

Naruto vs Neji

Neji annoyed me a lot with his &quot;you cant beat your destiny&quot; bullshit.

It was good for him that Naruto kicked ass http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

Also we saw why he was the way he was before Naruto humbled him.

[High Wind]

just watched 71 and i loved it i expect 72 will also be on my list of fav eps

and also @ HimizujinEternia

HOLY CRAP it wasn&#39;t an essay http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif I spent a loong time reading through your post

But hey at least its better than some of the incoherent stuff that floats about in other forums


So for me my favourite episodes are:

9
19
30
64
71

And probably 72 when it comes out
http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

*Edit* I forgot to mention 66-67 those episodes were bad ass

[Stoopider]

Episode 48. Gaara Vs Rock Lee.
The CG&#39;s sooooooooo goooooood.

[The_Fourth]

My favorite would be... 71 it KICKED ASS&#33;&#33; and aslo the naruto vs. neji fight was really cool.

[Paithan]

64, cause you get to see Shikamaru in action...

[~*AmiDamaRu*~]

mine was first ep... i was soo hooked to this anime cuz this ep was amzing.. my hair rose on my neck and got goosebumps wehn naruto goes ill kill u if u touch iruka sensei and like that music kicked in...also ep 48 was mad good when lee takes off his weights and goes super fast action.. i got mad goosebumps when that music kicked in along with lee&#39;s fast actions... also 71 was good cuz it had nice actions.. and some funny scenes like hokage getting punched in the face

[loser_nin]

I&#39;d have to say 62. It had a good emotional tug to it and I like Neji. 69 definately ties....</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>PUNI PUNI&#33;&#33;&#33;</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

[Viet-Elite]

I would have to say that episode 71 is my fav &#33;

[nar'to]

17-19 - naruto v. haku
30 - sasuke v. orochimaru
48 - gaara v. rock lee
62 - naruto v. neji
64 - shikamaru v. temari
71 - 3rd v. 1st/2nd/orochimaru

it seems to be that i like the big fighting episodes. go figure.

[TeLeKiNeSiS]

39, 48, 62, 71

[HimizujinEternia]

What? I like elaborating. Can I help it if I need to justify everything I do?

[boomorman]

19 and 50 are the 2 best eps so far.

[Slain]

the episode where naruto summoned GAMABUNTA &#33;&#33;&#33;
48 - lee vs. Gaara
and shikamaru vs. temari http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_w00t1.gif

[ad4mz41]

I dont remember all the episode numbers,

The eps with the battle of Dosu, Kin, and Zaku in the forest.
34- Gaara shows off his cool abilities and kills Sigure.
48- Rock Lee &amp; Gaara fight.
Shikamaru Vs Temari episode
71- Hokage battle

I hope the next eps will be just as good.

[Dreamer]

I like dhtem all. They were all good eps, but my absolute favorite would have to be the following in the order shown:

1. Neji vs Naruto

You get to see the development of Neji and the will of Naruto. Also cuz it&#39;s the first time Naruto calls on the Chakra of Kiyubi during a fight and he does it intentionally, not by his heightened emotions

2. Naruto vs Kiba

Again the character development of Naruto.

3. the Entire Hidden Mist Country series

Probably the best arc in the entire anime. only reason it&#39;s third is cuz i put it there

[Hokage-IV]

episode 44= kiba vs naruto , when they showed flashback of Naruto childhood.

[esconaruto]

gotta say naruto vs haku 17-19 are my fav because i love haku 2 bad they killed him off http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mad.gif

[MadMachine]

Its a toss up between Ep. 49 where Rock Lee goes crazy or 71

[aSilentSearch]

Ep 25 the ending of the test... you guys probably dont remember.. but watch it again..

[Wren]

for me its between eps 9 sharingan kakashi, eps 17 where haku got his ass sent through his own mirror lol, and the eps with konoha&#39;s Chuunin and Jounin ranks kickin ass lol. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif

[RoMuLuu]

Eh, this isn&#39;t the first topic about this. If I&#39;m remembering correctly, I&#39;m answering to this question the third time. And my answer is still the same. What I liked the most? Well, I think the best episodes so far were all the Haku &amp; Zabuza episodes. Expecially the one where Haku and Zabuza die. Those episodes were somehow so sad. If I had cried watching Naruto, then it would had definitely happened during that episode. Some of the new episodes have also included great action and fighting, but none of the newer ones include action + deep emotions, like those (approximately 4-5) episodes of Haku &amp; Zabuza.

[Shinji Ikari]

Whenever Naruto proves to the god damn people that he is &quot;The Nr 1 Ninja in all of the ninja world&quot;... And he does surprise ninjas quite a lot... defeating Haku, Kicking the ass out of orochimaru&#39;s snakey, almost killing Kiba (with the fart you know) and also latest kicking theeeee assss offfffff Nejiiii the cocky mother f**ker...

[Master_Shikamaru]

Ahhhh

So many good episodes to choose from. Oh how I grinned when Lee beat the ever loving shit outta Gaara...Even know that demented gnome still won...damnit..

But my favorite episode would probably be the fights against the Kakashi party and Zabuza party. Good call RoMuLuu, the added emotions did give a kick to the episode.

[True_strengh]

71 was pretty cool ..better then 72

[Master_Shikamaru]

I actually liked 72 better. There was less fighting but the animations were fixed (mostly) and it had more depth to it.
