Hmm somethings wrong with this episode, it was good
Hmm, so the 2-tails was Akasuki's 5th Bijuu. Which means they capture another one after Gaara and before the 2-tails.
That kinda pisses me off about the filler even more now. They had a bijuu that they didn't show, how much less shitty would that arc have been if Sora had been that jinchuuriki instead of a pseudo-kyuubi?
Nevertheless, episode fucking rocked. Dark element knives for shadow binding!
No....Gaara was the 4th Bijuu that Akatsuki captured.Originally Posted by DarthEnder

Love it. Great episode. Though I'm lmao at the thought that we've had episode after episode of Naruto developing what looks to be a fairly minor upgrade to rasengen, and Shikamaru breaks out the far, far cooler shadow shuriken bind like two days after getting his hands on the blades. And the spiked meat tank is a new varient as well if memory serves.
naruto is a good show again finally and it looks like its gonna stay that way for a while
tactical ninja action is the best kind of ninja action as always. same goes for US foreign policy, tactical intelligent action ftw. now if only we could get 4 more years of shikamaru too we'd be set.
Unfortunately I can see where this is going....team 10 get the crap beaten out of them and Naruto saves the day with his wind-rasengan.
Although, the things shooting from Kakuzu look like Menos Grande.. so Ichigo might come to the rescue
Man, what a tease. I've always wanted to see how Ibuki interrogates his victims, and this is as close as we ever get.
Kakuzu's non-living body keeps reminding me of Sasori's puppet body, so I'm really looking forward to how they'll differ.
Kakuzu himself seems to be a thinker, so I'm hoping for some brainy showdown too besides the flashy techniques.
By far, Hidan kept the laughs going this episode. From "do you love me", "We're screwed!", "What do you mean I'm braindead?" to "Dodge my attacks!". I laughed every single time. I can't say that for every Naruto joke-wanna-be, so that alone made it an awesome episode.
Like Harima said, it sucks that inevitably, Team 10 will have to suck, and Naruto will have to come with his uber-rasengan and show them Chakra+Main Character >> Cool guy with a brain.
Because this is, after all, Naruto.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
A good episode. And while I fear it might eventually come to Naruto saves the day, let's hope that won't happen for a while, and we get a good fight with these players first. Who knows, maybe we will even see a new Kakashi technique. After all, the dude should have quite a number of them.
It seems like Kakuzu indeed found a pair of spare appendages to give Deidara the Armless ninja. A lucky fellow to have a superdoctor nearby. Oro should have turned to him as well - after all, just giving him enough money would have done the trick despite the fact Oro isn't an Akatsuki member anymore as money is all Kakuzu is thinking about.
Good episode, but for the love of all that is holy...
Don't watch the preview. I have no idea why they ruin so many things, you'd think at one point they'd go "Hold on, we just fucked up several moments of tension and revealing moments in one preview.. We're not -that- desperate to get the viewers back are we?"
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
Nice episode, they actually did a pretty damn good job at making Shikamaru(and Kakuzu) look badass. If I had to complain about something it would be how long it took Shikamaru to walk backwards and grab the scythe, then he just starts running at max speed when it looked like it took tons of effort just to take a couple steps.
oro didn't get his physical arms cut off tho. bit of a different problem.Originally Posted by Kraco
His hands seemed to work just fine after taking over a new body. How much difference is there compared to cutting off the hands of some dolt and have Kakuzu attach them to his body?
One appears to take over a soul, seems different enough.
Kind of annoyed that in all this time that those two couldn't move Ino didn't do her Mind Control technique or Kakashi didn't Blackhole one of them to death.
What don't you understand about following Shikamaru's plan?
Anyway doing either of those things now would be really stupid. Even if Ino's technique succeeds they wouldn't be able to do anything because whatever happens to the body she is in happens to her own body too.
And Kakashi's MS is strictly a last resort, it uses way too much chakra for him to use it in a battle that has just started, if he doesn't incapacitate both of them with it immediately, he'll be useless for the rest of the battle.
Anyway, they are going to follow Shikamaru's plan. If its in the plan then they'll do it, if not, then they won't.
His arm works fine after taking over a new body because that person's soul is in there too or rather Oro eats that person's soul, and no I'm not kidding. Anyway like I said before there was nothing wrong with his arms that part of his soul was just sealed. If it was as simple as attaching some new arms Kabuto would have done it.Originally Posted by Kraco

Sapphire is awesome!
Then why did Orochimaru believed so strongly that tsunade could heal his arms? The ability to heal a soul with healing jutsu seems a little farfetched.Originally Posted by Abdula
Isn't it possible that Kakusu's kinjutsu would work but that option wasn't on the table anymore since Oro had already betrayed Akatsuki?
Anyone else notice the subtle change in the last sequence of the opening? Instead of jogging in between every at the end, Naruto dashes through at full speed now.
Yeah I noticed, and I have no idea why they needed to change that.
@Archangel: They didn't know if Tsunade could actually do it, what they said was if there was anyone who could, it would be Tsunade.

yeah they actually made a lot of changes. In the beginning when team 10 is jumping down Asuma got replaced with Kakashi, and they added Asuma's ghost in the other shot with team 10 :POriginally Posted by DarthEnder
Oh I wasn't aware they told us his plan, if I had known I wouldn't complain about them doing something silly. /sarcasmOriginally Posted by Abdula
Ino's technique is perfect for this. Control one and have Shikamaru hold the other still while the before mentioned one kills him. Not sure how that is terrible...
I understand that Shikamaru is attempting to learn more and setup moves that we couldn't in a thousand years perceive would happen but we've known for a long time that Shikamaru is great for holding someone still while a slow technique is used on them, not just to play with them.
