Paying homage to movies... well, I suppose they have all their monkeys writing the plotlines for Naruto fillers, so ripping off from films is a pretty safe angle to approach it from. This episode was a heck of alot better than the last one, and i'm not just saying that because the last one sucked balls. This one was actually somewhat entertaining. I was surprised that Inoue and Chad would be the villains' biggest threats. After the SS arc, where they were both so incredibly weak, I assumed the kidnappings were going according to weakest first... Guess I was absolutley wrong... And I wonder if the enemies know that Ishida's powers are gone? Heck, he's kept it hidden from the others for so long...
Kon-sama = the man. "Violation of stuffed animal human rights" ROFL! A Kon backpack would probably sell really well in Japan too.
Ishida was the man in this episode. Kon also helped out big.
I feel that they really gave back Inoue and Chad for real. I hope next episode is good. So far this filler isn't too bad. 2 out of 3, even if the 2 weren't fabulous.
EDIT: Can anyone think of a movie that uses mind games, (maybe or maybe not set in a school) where people have to figure out which one of them is an imposter? I just have a hunch that is the premise of the next episode from watching the preview.
