Holy hell what's going on! A second good filler in a row?! That's a new record!
Once again, Naruto wasn't stupid at least while fighting(still stupid when talking though). And the NPC each have actual multidimentional personalities!
Even though the fight animation was crappy, I love the techniques in this. I loved naruto using tags on the water shell. And trapping someone in a ball of water, then summoning fucking pirhanas IN the bubble?! Holy shit that fucking rules! Genius even.
Whoever wrote this deserves a BJ!
Indeed this was a good episode. If it wasn't for those stupid ramen comments this would have been an all around great episode.
As for the next episode.
I'm wondering how Naruto's current situation will be resolved. I just hope it isn't a shadow clone.
I didn't actually mind the ramen comments. They were so stupid they were actually quite funny. And somehow I like the interaction between Naruto and Hinata during those scenes; like Hinata has a never ending patience for Naruto's lack of wits. They'd make such a good couple.
The only weakness in this episode was the ending battle. Though the technique wasn't bad, the scene before that was quite miserable; the three dudes basically just stood there, and then suddenly Naruto and the Nano ninja were punched a little, and they were down. Too bad they couldn't anime a decent, ferocious fight scene that would have ended with the piranha bubble.
well this was quite enjoyable, the fact that they used the elder as decoy was quite the asshole type that we all love , too bad that princess is too stupid to understand that the ninja from konoha was not hired to protect only her, but all the peddlers.
next episode look fine too, i wonder how Naruto will get out of that bubble... here 4 suposition on how Naruto will get free on the bubble
1-Naruto use rasengan to get out of it
2-Naruto use Tajiu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
3-He use Kyubi Chakra to get himself out of there
4-Someone help Naruto with somekind of technique
5-Chouji comes and gets the fishes to be used for grilled fish bbq later in the evening.
Well it looks like Chouji will get back in time to help next episode. For some weird reason I can imagine him eating all the pirahnas. I know it sounds stupid but aside from the typical Tajuu Kage Bunshin or Yujinwhoever breaking the bad guy's spell I see that as the most feasible alternative.
This episode was actually pretty good, except Shuu's "brilliant" plan.
So you have an unidentified number of enemies chasing you. Hiding amidst a group of peddlers is pretty wicked, but still a smart first move, see if you can slip under the radar and escape.
But once one of your trusted escorts hasn't reported back for a while, why come up with a plan that leaves YOUR group with one Konoha ninja? Shuu didn't seem to care about the peddlers, and it was pretty apparent at that point that their group was being followed. Once you here about the guy's death there's no point having the 'stragglers' as a shield at all.
But I do like Shuu and Youjwhateverhisnameis. The fight obviously could have been better but we'll see if they make up for it next time. Chouji was absolute fucking money in this episode.
edit - damnit Kraco you beat me to the prediction!
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
