Naruto Shippuuden Episode 84

[Archangel]

Yes it makes no sense but it's the way it is:

Wind ---> Lightning ---> Earth ---> Water ---> Fire ---> Wind

Obviously it would have made more sense to change earth with lightning so electricity defeated water and earth defeated lightning but Kishi decided to make the affinity table like this and now we're stuck with it.

In my opinion the only reason he did this was so he could give naruto the wind element and make it strong against the chidori, which to me just feels like lazy writing on his part.

The whole system has a pokemon feel to it so i never really liked it anyway *hides avatar*

Dam the animation on the next episode is gonna be awesome again, but Chouji really looks weird like that lol ( no problem because kakashi looks extra cool to make up for it )

[Uberbaka]

Yeah, Kakahi's chidori totally caught me by surprise. Was so awesome to see.

Good good, because that scene (including others) were in the the preview I was wtf'ing about last week.

[ASSpirine]

yeah, i saw the warnings from the users
and I think I'll keep on doing this untill the good episodes are gone

[Jessper]

I imagine he can take down the mask dudes with it (3 more uses), but that leaves him out of uses just when he needs to use it again to finish things. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

I'm almost positive that after all this vulnerability talk they will have to use the element each mask is weak vs to kill it. So Chidori is going to be out for fighting Kakuzu anymore.

And I don't see what could be wrong with the translation of DB about the weaknessess...
According to the picture in clockwise it's stronger.

I fixed it in my picture, they switched earth and lightning in their translation.

As for the elemental weaknesses it is pretty silly all around. Throwing dirt on a fire will put it out as well if not better than water. Don't try and make real connections, just assume that was one example that worked and the rest is just how it works in the Naruto universe.

[Assertn]

They way Kakuzu was using earth so much, I figured earth was his natural affinity, and that the ghost that died was probably water or something.

[Buffalobiian]

I don't know if it was good or not to have the Kissing Lady from the filler also using multiple chakra elements. It saved them having to explain it here, and so pacing wise it helped. On the other hand, it took away the "wow" factor, and that the ability's been "cheapened" by having some random use it in a filler.

Kind of like how they animated Gai's Gates in filler. His morning peacock felt bland.

dude, I thought the exact same thing.

[lilphatboi88]

Yeah, they are definitely going to have to switch it up because as explained in previous episodes, wind is supposed to cut so...wind>earth>lightning>water>fire

[DarthEnderX]

Ah, I'd forgotten about the filler hair-monster. Wtf are the filler writers thinking ripping off a major badguys upcoming power?

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

I liked Kakashi v Hidan, I thought the animation was really well done. Also liked Kakashi v the Lightning attack, I forgot about that! Overall, Kakashi was kick ass!

[ASSpirine]

It's Kakashi, when doesn't he kick ass?

[Azonalanthious]

It's Kakashi, when doesn't he kick ass?

For three weeks story time or 10 episodes real time (whichever comes first) after every major fight, when he is lying in the hospital recovering.

Lol poor kakashi. He already had poor stamina and then Kishi had to give him the MS, it's just too much for him

[lilphatboi88]

But dude, what a badass. Kakashi has such a reputation. I loved the part where Kakuzu deduces, something about "lightning fast speed, able to read jutsus, you're Sharigan Kakashi!"

That was a good part.

[Kraco]

If they survive the gentle caresses of these Akatsuki monsters, I think a little holiday (in a hospital) is probably not a bad idea for any of them.

[lilphatboi88]

And in the meantime, there would be a new development such as another chuunin or jounin exam.

[ASSpirine]

Kakashi has quite some stamina, but as he said, the chidori uses way to much. And a sharingan in a non Uchiha body wastes too much chakra. That's why it seems he doesn't have a lot.

They should send Shikamaru to a boot camp after this, build up some more stamina.

I loved the part too. You're Sharingan no Kakashi. That does sound better then copy ninja Kakashi.

Also, I'm wondering how one is promoted to Jounin, Chuunins we saw.

[Buffalobiian]

I'm quite sure they told us Kakashi's chakra capacity (ties in strongly with stamina, from what we're shown) is lower than average, and not merely to a minor extent neither.

It doesn't mean he's completely worthless, as we saw him pull quite a few techniques during the Zabuza arc. Just that he's got to make sure every technique hits/counts, unlike our friend in the orange jump suit.

[ASSpirine]

I really can't remember when they said that...
And comparing to Naruto isn't fair

[Pandadice]

Also, I'm wondering how one is promoted to Jounin, Chuunins we saw.

there was something about the Jounin exam before. it would f been in the filler most likely. or an OVA.. Maybe it was in the red leaf clover ova? that's what I seem to be thinking.. anyways, there's like flash backs and stuff to when Iruka took it. something like that..
