Eh, not bad for a completely non-action show.
Insanely simple solution to the wind-rasengen problem: Only use it with a clone holding it.
So you are saying that clone could take that much damage and not "poof" out?Originally Posted by Azonalanthious
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
It depends on when the clone takes the damage. I'd assume it takes the damage only after the attack connects because we've seen a Shadow Clone simply holding the Rasenshuriken before. Which means it doesn't matter if the clone is destroyed.
That makes sense, though something tells me he won't be able to simply replace it with a clone. If the damage occurs from just sustaining the Rasen-Shuriken, it'll also make it difficult to work on refining it.
Guess he's not the only one working on a new technique though. Sasuke's ranged Chidori is looking like it'll work, though not having to hit anything (the lightning ball didn't even leave his hand) makes it look kind of....weak.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Anyone notice how skinny Chouji looks in the beginning?
Also, I kind of find it funny when Kakashi told Kakuzu that younger generation will surpass previous generation. In a matter of speaking its true, considering the biological limit. Talent wise, I'm not so sure.
One thing that really struck me was how adult Choji, Ino, and Shikamaru looked in the scene where they were walking across the bridge. Anywho, on to other matters:
Even if the younger generation doesn't have as much raw talent as the previous, the collective art of ninjitus continues to advance as new techniques are developed. Look at the Third, the Fourth, and Naruto - when the Third was growing up, there was no such thing as Rasengen. Then the Fourth developed Rasengen. Now Naruto has developed 2 new techniques based on Rasengen. When the next generation comes along, they'll have the possibility of learning 3 Rasengen varients, plus any they develop. And so on and so forth. Even in situations where the exact technique is lost because it wasn't taught to someone else before its creator's death, simply knowing that its possible is going to make it easier and more likely for someone to redevelop it - which, as I understand it, is pretty much exactly what Itatchi did with the Mangeyou Sharingen. So in a sense the new generation will pass the old each time because they'll have an ever increasing palette of techniques to draw on.
You have to remember though that the 3rd, Jiraya, the 4th, Kakashi and Naruto are all in different generations.
You can't just compare the 12 kids combined talents with the combine talents of the entire rest of the village.
When you look at Kakashi's generation, nobody but Kakashi and Gai seems to be super talented. And the 4ths generation doesn't have anyone of note but the 4th in it so far. Jiraya's generation is pretty impressive what with having all 3 of the sannin, and then, again, all we've seen of the 3rd's generation in action is the third.
When you compare Naruto's generation to any one of those other generations, I think their talent surpasses them easily.
ahh, this was a very entertaining episode.
Kind of a disappointment to see Kakuzu still alive after Naruto's attack. I enjoy seeing Shikamaru and his dad play Shogi, and I liked getting clarification on the king issue. They said no form of medical jutsu can cure the damage done to his cells, but what about the 9-tails healing? I mean, it freakin practically instantly healed a massive hole through his chest... why would it be unable to cure his cells?
It was super cool to see Orochimaru, and Sasuke.. Sasuke's Chidori looks pretty nice o_o. The story progression should be pretty awesome if they keep it up. and those Snowflake shurikens at the end were cool.

Snowflake anythings have never been cool in the history of forever.
Pretty nice episode, although I could see the Kurenai thing coming from miles away.
Guess fillers are up next?
looks to be a mix of fillers and non...
Could be potentially interesting, actually...but I'd rather just go straight to the next real arc, since the next one is the best arc in all of shippudden.

I didn't watch the previews. I thought most of you stopped also?
kinda weird sasuke seemed to have to struggle to get his chidori going. it was like watching someone try to start their car in the winter.
but im glad naruto cant be using his new technique. it means a lot of time was just wasted, but more importantly it means we arent going to see this used every 2nd ep like normal rasengan was.
Since the technique causes subcellular damage to his arm, the cells should be able to fix the damage by themselves, leaving no traces, and quite fast. A body generally only has problems fixing larger damage, like major wounds, which requires cells to multiply or even differentiate. If it's just some whatever protein chains running from cell to cell, like the images suggested, the cells will replace them in no time. No freaking reason not to use the uber jutsu. Moreover, like Pandadice said, pump some kyuubi chakra into the arm and it will probably heal even faster.
Tsunade is just jealous because the new skill is more powerful than her punches. What a petty person.
Well, according to Tsunade, the damage cuts off the chakra circulatory system. If the chakra path to the cells itself is cut off, no amount of supercharged Kyuubi powers will heal them.
As for the damage being reversible, not all bodily processes are. For example, chronic binge drinkers can develop hepatocirrhosis (scarring of the liver), which is where damaged/destroyed cells are replaced with connective tissue incapable of liver function, decreasing overall liver function each time despite it having "healed".
The same can be thought of about these chakra circuits. Either that, or perhaps it's like brain cells or enamel - your body simply can't replace it.
As for Sasuke having trouble sustaining his chidori, who knows how long he's been training for. Last time we heard, he's only capable of using it twice.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, right. Naruto's cell didn't even die, they just lost, temporarily I say, some channels connecting the cells to each other. It should be no sweat for the cells to put their DNA and RNA to work and build some new protein channels to replace those lost. We just had here Kakuzu the hairy monster who could detach his hands and control them via whatever tentacles and even use those tentacles to fix other people's severed limbs, and Hidan whom you could cut to pieces and he still would keep laughing. And you tell me Naruto's cells can reproduce a few proteins? What a load of bs.
*nod* I actually assumed that part of what he was testing his own endurance rather then having trouble getting it started, since he used it 4 times, then the 5th time for the ranged varient, which was more then Kakashi's old limit of 4. I figured they included it to drive home the whole 'younger generation passing the old' theme.
I think some of you are confusing some of the scenes.
The part where Tsunade explains how the chakra threads were being severed in each and every cell, and it showed that in like a diagram...that wasn't her explaining the damage to naruto's arm. That was her explaining what the attack did to Kakuzu.
The effect on Naruto's arm is probably the same, but no where near as severe. Which is why Sakura was still able to heal him.
Also, they're trying to prevent Naruto from using his Kyuubi chakra for healing after the Naruto vs Orochimaru fight.
Plus this is Naruto, not House. Science doesn't work that way...
