Lol, I can't help but feel bad for all the ninja who can't use Mokuton, it's just so versatile. Anyway, the one action scene was neat, but then the remaining 4/5ths of the ep was just recap, talking, and opening doors, which I could really have done without. At least the scene from episode one should be coming soon, I remember them running around opening doors in that as well.
So...more standing around this episode?
Being a medic-nin and living around that area, he most likely knows whether the wasps are harmful or no. Since he dispatched them with a sense or urgency, more so than fighting Team Kakashi, we can assume they're pretty nasty. Storyline was recap, that's said already, but wtf's with the encoding? Not that it impacted on episode quality.Originally Posted by DayoftheDante

Some plausible explanations.
1) Because it gave Kabuto another chance to look cool.
2) Because it wasted more time, pushing back more fillers by a few minutes.
3) Because this whole story is actually a gaiden of Inuyasha. The leader of Akatsuki (who is actually Naraku) sent those Saimyōshō to look find Orochimaru so he can kill him and retrieve the Sacred Jewel shard in his Sword of Kusanagi.
Haha Yukimura. When I saw those bugs, I seriously thought, "Did I just download an Inuyasha episode?" I got confused for a minute there.
Kabuto killing the bees and getting captured by Yamato was foreshadowing of the salamander eating the bee and getting captured by the hawk...
Meh, who cares? This was a good ep.

Hah, I thought Inuyasha too when I saw the bees.
Kabuto looked seriously afraid of those bees for a second. It was almost like, "Holy shit! I have a bee phobia!" and then a second later he's all "Oh wait...I'm a badass ninja."
Naruto gets a little golf clap for in no way exceeding my expectations of him once again, and managing to suck ass all over the battlefield.
The scenes with the doors were definitely directly from the beginning of the series, except that Naruto's got Sai with him. And in the next scene in the beginning, Sai was facing Sasuke by himself. So I assume they skipped a scene there that's coming up.
Goddamn! They really didn't need to repeat last weeks preach by Naruto with the corny music! And after the song we get a staring contest?! The best action scenes was with the reptile... Anyho, kinda think that Sai's brother might be Orochimaru's body, maybe. The ep sucked ass in the beginning and middle but the end is leading to somewhere, as we know.

Wow you guys need to stop your bitching. This episode was everything Naruto Shippuuden should be. There was plenty of awesome, fast paced combat. There was cool Kabuto talk. And they're about to find Sasuke.
In fact, this episode was better than most pre-time-jump episodes of Naruto.
@Killa-Eyez: Good stuff, that link was supposed to be 4) but I forgot to add it in.
Anyway, I don't really get what was good about this episode...I mean what actually happened? Naruto managed to completely fail in combat (again), Yamato demonstrated how having Mokuton makes being a ninja a cakewalk (again), Sakura destroyed a big rock (again). Kabuto sliced things up with a chakra scalpel (again). A character who seemed like a bad guy but was really just misunderstood was swayed by Naruto's words and completely changed his outlook on life in the course of 5 minutes (again). Then the team ran around opening doors and flashing back to Part 1.
I mean yes there was some action, but it wasn't anything new and ultimately it didn't even lead to anything. The next ep however seems like it has potential though, since Oro will be in it.
why does naruto expect to take on oro and sasuke when he cant even hit kabuto? what a sad performance. is he just gonna power up and kill sakura?
Lol naruto sucked at the batlefield as usual... i think sakura is even better than him now rofl. This episode was crap, mostly because i had to wait 2 weeks for it and because im guessing that the next episode is also gonna be craptastic...
actually this was the first time in shippuuden where i said "wow finally naruto shows something"
i didn't except him to beat kabuto with mere shadowclones, even the rasengan was nothing more than the kage-bushin version, so it wasn't the real deal. but at least it did look like he can do something now... the only time i saw him doing well in combat before was vs sasuke and.... and... well vs sasuke.
btw yamato and sakura didn't do any better
and why did you have to wait 2 weeks for it? i just had to wait 1... did i do a time jump?
Actually it was the real deal whether its a shadow clone or not its still the real rasengan if it wouldn't have done anything he wouldn't have used it in the first place but nobody expects anything from Naruto anyway. I mean didn't he already do this to Kabuto and it didn't work then either, the attacking with shadow clones part, and it was already established that he is way too slow to hit Kabuto with the rasengan which is why he needed to hold him last time so I don't know what the hell he was thinking. Wait what am I saying, Naruto doesn't think. Unfortunately it looks like next week is going to be another craptacular episode as well I don't know why they are moving so slowy.
-vs Sasuke? because I remember Naruto getting his ass handed to him from the very beginning of that battle. What do you remember?
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
episode 133 and actually sasuke was losing the fight until he realesed the seal to the second stage and after that he was totally exhausted... he wasn't really superior..
and its not like a rasengan more or not does hurt naruto... when he was training the rasengan he made hundreds of it so its not that important, i mean you don't blame yamato for using this ultra-ninjutsu which probably consumed more chakra than the rasengan does.
well on the other hand we don't know how much chakra is consumed by these technique, but it doesn't bother naruto at all so when he is out of kunais or shurriken he could also throw with rasengans... i can't find a difference in his case. it doesn't seem to be something like chidori even though it has nearly the same power

Wait I still see Naruto getting his ass handed to him, like he was from the very beginning. Sure the Kyuubi gave him a little advantage but that didn't last long now did it.
The rasengan and Yamato's mokuton are completely different first off it doesn't matter how much chakra the technique requires what matters is how much he has. Early on we saw him waste chakra and use the technique to build a prison when Sakura and Sai were arguing and later he used it to build them a house to sleep in when it was completely unnecessary and he has been using it constantly since then so it doesn't seem to be a drain of chakra at all. Secondly unlike Naruto's rasengan Yamato's Mokuton is very versatile as Yuki said and can be used in seemingly any situation and its not a complete wasted effort as Naruto's rasengan was.
I mean besides hitting the fake Itachi with the odama rasengan when was the last time Naruto actually hit someone with the rasengan that wasn't filler, Kabuto? In fact I think he is the only person Naruto actually hit with it.

Sapphire is awesome!
what exactly did Jiraiya actually teach naruto other than cause him not to be able to stay in a controlled berserk mode anymore?
My bad, i only had to w8 1 week for this episode, i had to w8 2 weeks for the episode before that, and btw it was also icredibly craptacular.
Naruto vs. Sasuke = Naruto ownage . Sasuke was always 1 step ahead of naruto, in fact one could even make the point that sasuke could take on one tail naruto with just stage 1 seal release.
Good news people ( at last ) in about 1 or 2 episodes we're gonna get a 1 hour special and it seems that its all sasuke vs. naruto!!! After a month of bullshit episodes we're finaly getting our money's worth!
