He had difference plans for different scenarios, including one if they didn't fall for the Chakra Blade Shadow Bind. He just didn't expect them to break out of it once they're caught, so it took Shikamaru by surprise.Originally Posted by ASSpirine

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Then Chouji stood at a perfect place and reacted very well.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
That's true, but do remember that Hidan/Shikamaru forced Kakuzu into that position for Chouji. To me, Shikamaru's still genuinely surprised Kakuzu dodged the swing, that much was evident. Being the brain that he is though, it didn't take him much effort to adapt his current situation with that of another plan.

I guess battle 85 that people were talking about was this episode?
No, we were talking about how the animation director that does all of the best fight scenes in Naruto is apparently the one who did 85, so 85 is probably kickass.
I'm guessing its probably the climax to this fight, since I doubt this one is gonna be over in 1 episode.
I do think that Kakashi's MS is the perfect attack to use on Hidan though. Since it sorta sucks things into a black hole, the perfect strategy would be to paralyze Hidan, then have Kakashi suck his head into oblivion.
In fact, I imagine that was the original plan. Bind them both, take over Hidan and have him kill Kakuzu, then MS on Hidan, the end. But now that Kakuzu is free, he has to move on to plan 12b or whatever.

What I would rather see is Ino or Chouji and maybe Kakashi explain it to us so it doesn't seem like Shikamaru is setting himself up to fail.
Or even a flash back to the plan being explained. Something that wasn't a cliché "bad guy that is going to lose" speech.
True that.
So cliche...
Don't you think it's weird that Ino and especially Kakashi waits to appear to help Shikamaru?
I think there's something behind all that, and we're talking about Shikamaru. The guy who can come up with different strategies at the blink of an eye.
We'll see it next friday

He's hiding their numbers, as well as abilities. Naturally, he'll need the element of surprise, or he won't have an edge at all.

Exactly.
He's hiding kakashi as his trump card and Ino because she's a healing-nin with horrible combat skills.
I actually agree. Ino is more of a support character. I did like how she was able to take over the mind of a bird. That could be a very useful technique for a ninja. Would like to see her take over something else though, like a LIGER! But then again she could always just henge into anything she wanted...
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
Actually, given that its Shikamaru we are talking about, I fully believe that he had a plan for "what if they can break the Shadow Bind". I do think he was suprised, but I think its either because they didn't do it immediately or because of how they did it, not just the fact that they did it.
If i could give this guy good rep for this post i would.
It's rare for a new guy to make posts that actually make sense, i hope you stick around dude.
Hey it looks like that guy has been here longer than you...well, assuming he does have more posts so...
As you can see Azonalanthious, this is the kind of crap i usually get from guys that don't even bother to get an avatar, so your post was a nice surprise.
I mean seriously, what is that even supposed to mean?
my bad, i thought you quoted buffalobian.
Anyways, what does getting an avatar have anything to do with anything?
You just have a picture of pikachu...no offense or anything.
Absolutely nothing.
If you don't think that Shikamaru planned for them to get out of shadow bind you're fooling yourself after the lead-up to this fight. Though of course he only plans within the abilities that the enemy has regardless of if he knows them or not.

Yeah, I'll go with that.

Transformation sucks though because, as was shown in this episode, if the person your spying on is the paranoid type who attacks every animal that it sees, then you can easily get yourself fucked up with a transformation. Its much easier possessing something else, and if it gets attacked, just release back to your body and let that animal/person take the beat down for you.
