Does it look like Kisame and Itachi are still maintaining their holograms? Or they're just left there along with their chakra to sustain the sealing technique?
when it showed them extracting the one tail from gaara, you it showed the outline of itachi and kisame.
i liked the effect they gave the leader of akatsuki...
really cant wait to see the next episode, gai sensei !
I watched about 5-10 minutes of this and it was enough.
Nothing interesting happened, nothing really to talk about, nothing really worth asking or explaining.
Maybe I should just stay with the manga. At least the thoeries and thoughts are alot more thought out in manga discussions. With the anime discussion some how out of nowhere people tied Kakashi getting a new jutsu + Itachi = Some how him getting Mangekyou Sharingan (MS is short for Multiple Sclerosis people. I'm very sure if a ninja had that they would not be a ninja)
image fail!
I too am a little worried that manga readers are just trying to jump the gun on the hot topics of discussion that are going on right now with manga readers. I'm definitely not accusing anyone of spoiling, or being a manga-prophet, but those already aware of the major points of contention in the series obviously have the power to sway discussion.
Example: About three episodes ago, Chiyo attacked Kakashi at the end of the episode, calling him the White Fang. It didn't take long for someone to chime in "Well, based on Kakashi's facial expression and reaction, and the way Chiyo was screaming, the White Fang clearly is Kakashi's father." This prompted a slew of responses in which people analyzed this five seconds of unimportant dialog. It wasn't even relevant, yet.
Now I have no idea if whether or not Kakashi has Mangekyou Sharingan is a major debate among manga readers right now, but judging by the time it took people to jump to the "logical" conclusion that he must have it, I'm guessing that it is. It's not like anyone's spoiling anything, it just feels like people are continuing discussion that's been going on since 2 years ago, along with a bunch of insane theories. I suppose that's just the nature of the beast...

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Why is everybody bitching? Nothing wrong with this episode. Usual Naruto pacing. People should be used to it by now.
Lee's comment about Gai's insight = best line ever
What's with the ever present DBZ comparisons? "DBZ fighting"?
When somebody says DBZ fighting I imagine flying, energy attacks that blows up half the planet and random lightspeed punching flurries.
Can't find any of that here. Maybe I'm not watching the same show as the rest of you.
i think they're referring to the dbz style super mega stare-down! where you try to make your opponents head explode by looking at him really hard.
Are you being sarcastic? Cause it is. You should look it up.
Must have still been asleep while posting that, meant shrapnel (which was the main focus of her big bomb). In which case they aren’t. Not that it matters, clearly he was able to block all of her attacks with out a second thought. His sword beats explosions.
Also, since all of her attacks were projectile attempting to make it work in the water is a whole lot easier said than done. Refraction of light and the reduced speed makes aiming at things underwater a totally different ball game.
Unless you purpose that she carries depth charges.
As usual, I disagree with most of you about the quality of this episode. I thought it was pretty good, with good action and some story progression.
I didn't like the switching between fights, especially since not much happened in the Itachi/Kakashi fight. I know it's his character, but impetuous Naruto gets old fast, and you just want him to shut up and sit still, considering that when he does act, he gets caught in a genjutsu so easily. Also, all 3 of Gai's pupils attacking the same way and getting caught in the same trap was hard to believe.
New techniques for Neji was cool. Gai taking Kisame's sword was beautifully done as well. Tenten warning Lee and Neji about the big ass wave coming straight for them was stupid, followed later by Lee warning Gai and Tenten about the big ass wave coming straight for them. I guess they didn't see it coming as soon as Lee. Chiyo having to explain 2 on 1 fighting to Naruto was freaking stupid.
The preview was hilarious, with the watershow announcer analogy. Sounds like a typical Japanese commercial with lots of hype and exclamation points. Plus, it showed Gai using nunchakus! Too cool.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I know this may be a contentious suggestion, but if people are trying to indirectly spoil by using manga knowledge to point anime watchers in the right direction then perhaps they should be prevented from posting in this forum?
Now I can't really judge the scale of this, and I others who are anime only watchers would be in the same boat as me. But the moderators in charge of the forums who do watch the manga need to consider this.
@Manga "Prophets": People, anime watchers don't read the manga because they enjoy understanding the story through the television series. We like to speculate about it here just as you guys do in the manga forums. The difference is you guys can genuinly speculate as there is no one to spoil it for you, whilst for us there is.
Just understand one point. Anime watchers are not so stupid as not to realise that the answers to our speculations probably already exist in the manga. There is nothing clever or fantastic about you coming in to this forum and giving the answers to people who don't want to know. If we wanted to know the answer that bad we would read the manga.
So stop getting a boner over spoiling and get a life.
I think you're overreacting. No one was revelling in the fact of spoiling, spoils can slip due to excitement that one has the knowledge and are antsy to share. Me, being a manga reader, opted out from posting manga knowledge or to add speculation that didn't exist. But seriously, that last sentence was totally unnecessary and quite immature.
Dude, making unnecessary and immature statements are so much fun. You should try it sometime.
I have to agree with db_hunter, some people need to keep their manga-induced observations to themselves, as they are spoiling it for the anime-only fans, even if they don't intend to. The constant comparison between the anime and manga is also annoying. Sorry if the anime's elaboration of a scene doesn't measure up to your own when you read the manga. We don't care to hear about it though.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I said this in a much shorter form a while back. I found it odd known manga readers were "speculating" future episodes. I got a response like "We're just repeating what we thought back then in the manga or what we would've thought if we didn't know."
Confirming or denying anything as spoiler/prophecy is spoiler/prophecy in itself, nub - Assertnfailure
Did I point to anything specific? NOPE! "Nub!" It's quite obvious who the spoilers are as their so-called "prophecies" seem to continually come true. Any idiot could figure it out.
However, pointing out the anime/manga differences I think are important. As a anime-only watcher of bleach (because I think it sucks, but entertains me somewhat until Naruto comes out) and a manga reader of Naruto, a lot of things are censored and not fully explained in the Anime that should be pointed out. Censorship I can understand, but why take out details? Isn't the anime supposed to flesh out the manga? Don't they need to delay catching up to the manga as much as possible?It's especially important to point out the filler crap added in.

Man, the tiny bit of Itachi action in this episode completely renewed my respect for the guy. All you gotta do is look at the guy, and he'll fuck your shit up without using any overt or obvious movements.
Totally agree with JaySee in this respect. It's not "necessary" to know how the manga did things differently, but it's definitely much more enjoyable to me having that extra knowledge.However, pointing out the anime/manga differences I think are important.

For example, I think there was a part in the Sasuke/Naruto fight in episode 133, in which the anime left out the "shadow" of Naruto's moves that the manga had (as someone pointed out). Being aware of this gave me a much better understanding of how the sharingan worked. I don't know about everyone else, but I enjoy those little tidbits.
Kakashi deduces that Mangekyou Sharingan is detrimental to Itachi's sight because of how Itachi became fatigued and retreated after using it. Kakashi says this himself. It then shows Kisame saying out loud that it's dangerous for Itachi to use the Sharingan too much. I think that's how he figured it out, dudes...
