Naruto Shippuuden Episode 76-77

[Abdula]

This I can explain easy enough but just keep watching and you should get it

Okay sorry Darth, I already explained that. That was just me referring to the fact that Hidan is immortal so even if he notices someone sneaking up on him he really wouldn't care where as Kakuzu seems to be the more logical ninja-esque one of two. We've seen enough of the two of them already that I think you guys must have caught that and I was merely suggesting that KrayZ didn't pick up on it yet but if he keeps watching he would. Sorry if that line rubbed you the wrong way.

I'm really tempted to go to the manga forum and start reading the chapter threads that represent these episodes in the anime to see if you guys were this "smart" when it was in the manga and you didn't know what was coming up yet.

With guys like me, Assertn, Yukimura, DBZ and Uchiha Barles reading the manga we pretty much all figure out what Kishi is going to do next before he does.

-Oh btw you guys have actually figured out alot of stuff too. You just don't know it yet.

[Yukimura]

I encouraged certain people to not come here because it seems like the most beneficial solution to all parties involved. Without moderation there's nothing to keep manga readers from bringing up the manga. While I generally try, I know I don't always feel like making the effort to cover my tracks against 'almost' spoilers and I don't think I'm the only one who slips up. Since no one with the power to stop it seems to care about people mentioning aspects of the manga in the anime threads anymore I no longer see this board as a conducive place for pure (absolutely no mention of the manga) Anime discussion and people looking for that would be better off looking elsewhere than whining about how this isn't the place for it anymore.

[Kraco]

Now, now, Yuki. Don't be so black and white. There's a saying here in Finland that you shouldn't make a bull out of a fly, and I'm sure there's an equivalent also in English, so let's follow it and not start to dig a grave for this forum quite yet. Major spoilers do indeed get moderated here even if some small ones may slip past, depending on how actively mods happen to be reading these impossibly long-winded and self-repeating conversations here. But that hardly means this forum is useless yet. After all, I don't feel like I'm getting spoiled here, and I don't read the manga.

I at least try to pretend to read through all these deadly boring posts featuring naught but fencing between some regulars. Now, I know I'm not the most sharp-eyed person for details and I might read a small spoiler and never notice, and moreover I might not notice because I don't read the manga and would just think I forgot something from the anime, but still I'm just a little offended you say there's nothing but anarchy left here.

A pure anime forum would mean manga readers aren't even welcome because anything but "good/bad animation in this episode" would be perceived by the most suspicious fellow member to contain traces of manga knowledge. That wouldn't be fair by any measure. I'm not saying people shouldn't be more careful here, because the classic case of eliminating possibilities posted by anime only watchers because you know they won't happen in the manga is still forbidden and will remain so.

In short, manga readers should realise there are some things they simply can't do that would be possible for anime only watchers. If you know something, you know it, and unless you make an extra effort to write bs purposefully, it's just impossible to be totally neutral.

[KrayZ33]

I still can't believe this all happened because I was trying to clear something up and then I get attacked by a freaking Nazi but yet I'm the bad guy. Naruto fans, gotta love em

fuck you

btw everything started with you saying

I think you're smoking something, I'll ignore the latter half of your post and ask what the hell makes you think an Akatsuki would fall for a transformation technique. Anyone above genin level recognizes it right away.

1. insulting
2. not true

and not me "attacking" you, I just did what you did before in my post, after you started being an asshole again

-Oh don't hold it against me if I'm coming off a little rough because I'm in a bad mood.

Douche

Oh wow. I already said I was in a bad mood, way to go.

on a side note.... did you get a neg rep saying that? and did you actually think it was me?

[Abdula]

Yeah I did get a neg rep and no I don't think it was you. You have shown that you are more than willing to argue with me/post about it if you have a problem with what I say and I respect that.

Oh and this thing about whether ninjas can sense each other or not didn't start until after Darth mentioned that ninjas only see through transformation techniques if there is a flaw in the transformation.

As for me saying "I think you're smoking something" its not the first time I've said it and I stand by what I said. This thing with me and you didn't just start now it started months ago.

I just hope that now you are satisfied, so that we can move on from this like I asked you to do 2 pages ago.

[KrayZ33]

edit: gosh I can't let this whiny shit I posted before stand here... I have to edit it.

ya so be it, I guess it's better to do so anyway now.. even though its too late ~~;

[DarthEnderX]

I can't rep anyone anymore. There's only like 6 people total on the Naruto/Bleach/One Piece anime forums, and that's apparently not enough to "spread rep around", so I guess I just don't get to give rep no mo.

Why do you keep saying there's no moderation? Are the guys with the Moderator title not actually moderators or what?

There is no need to defend yourself, if that is what you're doing. I really don't know or care who it was, I just found the timing to be a bit weird since it was just after I'd made the edit saying not to hold it against me since I was in a bad mood. The person obviously just wants my attention because I've gotten more since then including one on my above post that read

I negged you, not Kray...Muahahahah!

Really its just some loser looking for attention and completely not worth my time.

Anyway this thread is getting a bit off topic, so anyone got anything Naruto related to discuss? I would bring up something but that hasn't been turning out too well lately

[DarthEnderX]

What? No. I was just mentioning it cause people were talking about rep.

More of a "The rep system seems flawed for those of us who only know 5 people!" type thing.

[Kraco]

Okay, let that be the last post of offtopic kind in this thread. You folks take it to the Pit from now on if you must.

[StingRay]

I just finally got around to watching the episode. I liked watching Asuma fight. He's one of my favorite characters so it was nice to see.

Although during his fight with Hidan, i was wondering why he couldn't just cut Hidan's scythe the way he cut through the swords that were tossed at him. I mean we've seen him throw Kunai through trees and according to Kakashi, wind element can slice anything to bits. Oh well, maybe next episode something like that will happen.

Anyone else find it funny that Sakura and Sai have all this free time to just stare at Naruto? Shouldn't they too be training so that they can become better ninja? I don't know i'm sure its been stated in previous threads but after so many episodes of them doing that, it gets old.

[Kraco]

Sakura is a crybaby and likes to worry about others, and Sai is likely still recovering from his injuries and is taking it easy. Normal people can't train while injured unlike the kyuubi powered Naruto.

Actually Sai is training all the time: Reading those "useful" books explaining communication, relationships, and friendship.

This thread is always getting offtopic...

I'm thinking that too. Like, even if you can't get the scythe, just cut the friggen rope!

But according to our manga friends, this fight lasted 5 seconds there.

So really, if it was a normal episode rather than the special stretch, it would have been like:

*Asuma cuts sword/kunai
*Hidan: Oo, you've got some nice blades
*Hidan uses uber taijutsu, dodges Shikamaru+Asuma and nails him in the face
*Hidan starts ritual.

But I thought this Hidan guy's supposed to be slow...?

[Abdula]

That is exactly how it went Bill. Hidan said his attack speed is the slowest in Akatsuki, but that doesn't actually mean he is slow if you get what I'm saying.

Sai is likely still recovering from his injuries and is taking it easy. Normal people can't train while injured unlike the kyuubi powered Naruto.

Uh, what injury are you talking about?

Anyone else find it funny that Sakura and Sai have all this free time to just stare at Naruto? Shouldn't they too be training so that they can become better ninja?

Yes all three of them are supposed to be training to get better. Isn't that what they all promised to do after they were embarrassed by Sasuke. Beyond that Tsunade usually keeps Sakura busy running little errands for her when she is not training, so I really don't know how she has so much free time.

[Kraco]

Uh, what injury are you talking about?

A few episodes ago, before he started to visit Naruto's training grounds with Sakura.

[Abdula]

Woah, since I don't remember that I'm guessing it was from the fillers because I didn't watch anymore than the first two episodes of filler. Kinda weird that they would be playing up an injury that took place in fillers though, especially since the main cast should be back in action as soon as Naruto's training is over.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

Sooo uhh... I was just siding with Abdula cause I thought Kray was just going at the conversation entirely the wrong way. What that way is I cant remember anymore but I know it pissed me off enough to get involved.

BTW I said ONE of you are wrong I never said which one fuckers. Tell me how that indicates a spoiler.


But in all honesty youre all makin way too much fuss over sensing chakra. Its not gonna tie into some gigantic spoiler that will make you all want to burn me and abdula alive, its just another little unexplained part of the series that I'm sure will be debated on. But okay I'm an asshole, a prophet-fag, a jackass.... ya ya ya grats.

And fuck you Kraco I'm done when I wanna be.

LOL at the cowards who insult me through -rep. It would be a lot more of a brain fuck if you +repped me and insulted me or -repped with a compliment. But nah you had to be unoriginal. Next time you got somethin to say SAY IT TO MY FACE BIIIIIITCH.

ANDD sorry Abdula, I just made shit worse. = /

[Kraco]

That conversation is finished already. So, drop it.

And Abdula, I'm sure he'll be in perfect condition the first moment he needs to be again, that is, after Naruto is finished with his training or whatever is going to happen next. Who knows why they felt the need to make him stand there idly, watching Naruto train...

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

I hope they don't let Sai get pushed completely out of the focus now that Naruto is gettin his superpowers and they'll be fighting against the Legion of doom. They had a lot of focus on the dude and he's not all that weak... Im not a huge Sai fan but it would make all that time spent listening to his crazy ass talkin seem like wasted space... to just have him end up being useless.
