Naruto 105 Discussion

damn people dont seem to understand the fact that that sword belonged to the 2nd hokage...of course it's gonna be elite and bust through chidori/rasengan. and it's not like sasuke and naruto are using those attacks to their full potential. sasuke's chakra level isnt high enough to produce a chidori that powerful (although it's evident he can raise the power of his chidori when you compare his first and second attempts) and we all know about the stages of rasengan and naruto's being the most basic version (and therefore the weakest).

and concerning why sasuke didnt use his speed to land his chidori...if you think about it aoi is damn fast as shown when he constantly keeps up with that runner from the other clan and he's not even winded. and again speed is relative in the anime. it might look like sasuke is running slow but he's actually going really fast. he's able to run and land his chidori so quick that aoi could only block it whereas naruto had to distract aoi with kagebunshin so he could make contact w/ his rasengan.

and the rest of you who hate this arc should really pay to attention to the posts in the thread that talk about how certain character's actions are furthering the continuity of what should expect from those characters. it makes this arc seem somewhat useful.

but yes, the sword looks retarded.

Did anyone else notice how quickly those ANBU next to ibiki died? Is it just me or does it seem that the anbu get killed off really easily? I thought they were supposed to the be the elite black opps of the ninja world. Why do they seem to get killed off so easily?

because they are only there to make konoha fail, so our story-hero's can win [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Just once, I would like to see some ANBU guys actually win a fight.

That girl who had some connection to Hayate doesn't count, because we didn't actually see them fight.

I didn't notice the anbu part until you mentioned it. It is kinda weird how they just fell like paper.

Thats not the only time were the anbu quickly taken out of action. Actually now that I think about it I can't think of any instances where the ANBU kicked ass or won any fights. Kabuto seems to take them out like no bodies buisness. Before the Hokage fight they couldn't do anything to stop Orchimaru's sound 4 from creating the barrier and when Orchimaru ran off they couldn't prevent his escape.

I can understand from a story point why faceless characters can die so easily but common if these guys are the elite black opps at least show us some sort of instance where they kick some ass.

What are you talking about, those anbu guys own the lion lol

funny how sasuke doesnt use his new super speed.

I noticed that, despite this being a filler arc, the animation is quite nice.

Man O man this episode really pissed me off. First off is the Saber. A ninja with a lighting saber is so lame. Aoi(who is supposed to be a Jounin)is fighting genin with a saber people. Hes really starting to get on my nerves and he needs to die like SOON.

I didn't think this episode was THAT bad. In my mind, I will always compare any episode to 101, which I consider to be the worst ever. This ep had some good points. As was mentioned, the animation was nice. Also, it was fast-paced and full of action. I thought it was fun to see the chuunin exam from another point of view, as Idate was remembering it.

Bad parts include the sword of rajin. Did they really have to copy the sound effects from Star Wars?
And typical for their team, Naruto and Sasuke don't think to work together. You'd think they would have learned something from their success against Zabuza way back when.

Now for the ending...with Sasuke and Sakura plummeting off a cliff....I can imagine a satisfying splat when Sakura hits the bottom.... j/k [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

@ jing: I like your new sig!

Well, if you compare it with the other episodes in this filler arc, it is kinda bad. The flashback with Ibiki and such are quite good. Nice to know how he got that scar, hehe.
Still, it bugs me how Chidori and Rasengan were used so early in the fight, and how the ANBU guys fell easily. Aren't they supposed to be better than the regular Jounins? They haven't been that useful since I can remember. In our terms, the Jounins would be the "police" while the ANBU would be the "SWAT" (well, that's my impression, at least).
On another point, I would MUCH prefer to watch fillers (even if it's crappy as hell) than watch reruns. I've already seen each episode like 3 times each, and I don't really wanna see the same episode when I could be watching something new.

i think that is incorrect. it is assumed that one becomes an anbu member before one becomes a jounin. and jounins aren't suppose be the 'police.' there is no information that hints us that

The job of the ANBU is to run around and look important.

I think he was just comparing the anbu-jounin ranks to real life scenarios, he didn't mean the jounins are police in the Naruto world.

Yeah, BOARD pretty much said what I meant, sorry if I was misleading or anything.
Still Mut@t@, the whole ANBU --> Jounin thing might be right. Kakashi used to be an ANBU member and now, he's a Jounin. But then again, like you said, it's uncertain.

I think that Jounin is just a rank, while ANBU is a job.

The ANBU are the police/military for the village, while the jounins may or may not be ANBU.


I'm also unsure of the actual rank of the ANBU. The way they get owned in every battle makes me think they are either strong chuunins or just really unlucky.

The sword looks like quite a unique piece, all Aoi does is wave it around a little and watch it electrocute stuff.
The second was probably able to use it better, and had a whole bunch of jutsus that used the sword.
Also, the chidori is not a lightning technique, it has been stated that it consists of pure chakra, and it is based on the piercing capability of the imbued arm and the speed of the user. Rasengan is more like shooting the enemy with a huge cannon, with some sick-ass bonus effects.

er, about where the story is going...Sasuke really screwed up. He can survive if Sakura halts the fall with some smart thing (or) by sacrificing herself, but even so he's already used up all of his safe chidoris and cant do much. So Naruto will fight him, and Idate may give him the edge with some weak ninjutsu. can't see beyond that...

Yeah, I have no idea what's gonna be happening in 106. Seems like anything goes, what with Sasuke and Sakura falling to their demise, Naruto and Idate are left alone with Aoi, and that guy (Fukesuke?) is already across the bridge.
The only thing I can imagine is after Aoi's defeat (if that happens), Naruto will just make a whole bunch of shadow replications to make a bridge for Idate.

EDIT: just a few spelling mistakes and such

the battle will probably be decided by idate's knife some how, hell just chuck it at aoi and hell get scared and be like, " oh no!" and then naruto will rasengan him. they always do something corny like that.
