Raiga is just insane and attacked Ranmaru because he can no longer remember when he was 'good.' But Raiga is not a 7 shinobis of mist for nothing. In order to pass the Chuunin exam the genins have to fight to their death all their friends. The genins didn't beat him by themselves. Did someone forgot how badly he pwned Neji himself? Lee was fighting a jounin level ninja all by himself and if not for the cure-all-life he would have died. Neji was poisoned, twice. He didnt even have time to put out his ultimate defense but i dont think that would even matter. Naruto is not a genin. He has Rasengan which can beat just about any jounin level nins and his clones make him an unstoppable army. As with a filler, they're not even allowed to dream of killing off a character of Naruto. They can do whatever w/ fillers characters. If knowingly the expectation of characters' outcome and the outcome of the battles are low then it becomes no surprise that fillers suck. Fillers are guaranteed to leave you empty. As far as fillers go i agree it is as good as it gets. So if you want more blood, more drama wait 22 more weeks.
