Naruto Shippuuden Episode 18

[Assertn]

I just can't grasp why Zero would send Sasori and Deidara... They're most likely the two members with the least amount of energy/stamina at this time.

As opposed to......?

Sasori and Deidara are the only two akatsuki members physically there. Plus that boulder is probably the only entrance to the cave too.

BTW you mispelled uchiha in your user name.

funny, deidara grew his arm back for that bit at the end of the episode just like grimmjow

Despite being slowly paced I enjoyed the episode. It had a lot of genuinely funny bits in it and some more dialogue villains between which there really can't be enough of. The only thing I hated about the episode was Naruto and his usual dimwitted behavior. How about letting the scout handle his work without you hassling him and constantly yelling in his ear? Fuck, I hate that brat. Even Sakura is a more worthwhile character as it is.

Looks like Zetsu is going to get involved somehow. Hopefully he will as I'm really looking forward to seeing what that guy can do on an actual battlefield.

I just re-watched the ep and I didnt see his arm back on...Where did you see that?

Who is Zetsu? Oh yeah, that plant guy. I think that he is the one that is making shit grow around Team Gai!

[Kraco]

How can a plant guy be of any danger, though? I mean, if a hostile meat eating plant suddenly grows next to you, all you have to do is walk away. It's a plant after all, roots and everything! It's not like it would run after you!

[Crash]

They won't even need ninja techniques, just spray him with a bottle of Round Up.

wow i just noticed that they were the only physical ones..i cant believe i missed that during the manga

the very end, after the ending credits. his sleeve wasn't torn and you could see him bend the arm as he sat down next to kisame

i was thinking this too. they are the only 2 there but i don't think deidara even has any clay left. i would think they would at least just try to escape for now.

[Board of Command]

This was a seriously shitty episode. When it takes them an entire episode to rip off some seals, you know something is wrong.

[DB_Hunter]

Itachi is going to come and kill Sasori. Deidara will be killed by the others.

There's just to much emo between Itachi and Sasori for that not too happen.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Oh that. I dont really think of that as being anything worth talking about. It has no relevance in the story line. Kinda like in Bleach, just a funny yet informative way of showing information about the show. Not to mention, they could have had that scene set in the past, cuz Deidara isnt anywhere near Kisame right now.

have anyone seen Flomp-StrayLife episode?if yes.is theirs better than DB or not?

[ASSpirine]

According to Pokémon logic, fire beats grass pokémon. Just do a katon

Think we have to wait 3 weeks for some action..

[Narasho]

That's 18 episodes into Shippuuden and 18 manga chapters covered. On the other hand several Bleach chapters are often crammed into an episode resulting in more fillers. Can't anyone pace normally?

I remember back in the days when Naruto anime episodes consisted of between 1.5 and 2 manga chapters. Though, if this is what we have to go through to avoid another 2 year filler break, I think it's worth it. That being said, I do agree that they are going through this arc painfully slowly.

I just hope that they dont animate the fights like they did with the Gaara one, where for like 5 minutes it was Gaara in the same 10 frames everytime you saw him just lifting his arm and dropping it down. They could have added some original stuff in here, instead of making the same movement over and over again! -dg-

To be fair, even in the manga that really wasn't much of a fight. They probably could've wrap it up in 10 minute though instead of dragging it over like 3 episode.

[DarthEnderX]

You can stretch a fight out alot and still make it interesting.

Like Naruto vs. Sasuke 2. There was alot added to the anime version of that fight. And it was all awsome.

[ShinobiNeko]

-_- seems almost as if naruto has become 1 episode ever OTHER week and slow pace at that. I really don't mind the slow pace too much..but it really gets annoying when you have to wait an extra week for the next episode.

Comes to no surprise Naruto's rating have been dropping..having so many weeks with a skipped episode would likely make people go watch something else.

[Mizuchi]

instead of turning this amazing series into an extremely slow paced, filler filled (45 seconds of grunting omfg...) piece of trash that totally ruins the show, they should just take a break to let the manga catch up. They shouldnt ruin the show with fillers, and they shouldnt slow the pace to ruin the show as well, they should just wait a few months and then start. Thats my opinion anyway.
