Naruto Shippuuden Episode 127-128

[antiravage]

Just so you guys know, the horriblesubs rip cut some parts of the two episodes, the Hanzou Vs Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade that happened at the beginning of episode 128 was taken off, all we saw was the result, that’s why sometimes it’s better to wait for taka.

Yondaime can’t be the one because he’s dead, I’m predicting that Naruto and Pain will fight to decide who is the revolutionary, one will bring revolution through destruction (Pain), the other through peace (Naruto). I think that old frog mentioned Jiraiya’s pupil will bring one or another.

These episodes really fleshed out Jiraiya's character, to my delight. He's always been fun to watch, but his life until now always looked a bit pointless. While Naruto's a dit like he was, at least he trained for a purpose. For a good part of "Naruto the show" up till now, Jiraiya was some old elite who'd play away from home and rock up every now and then. With this special, we're let in on how he's actually on a quest of his own. It adds much more depth to his otherwise "soley pervy" character.

Tsunade's little glances also brought out that she didn't suddenly have a drunken crush out of nowhere. Even though it's "Jiraiya's Special", Oro's still the coolest ninja of the three. Too bad he got so twisted by the end. I actually liked him young.

Regarding Pain, I see you guys have referred to him harboring Yahiko's appearance, but having Nagato's Rinnegan. I say he looks more like Nagato with Yahiko's hair. He's just as pale as Nagato and Oro. If fusion wasn't what happened, then I'm betting he's Nagato, since Yahiko pretty much lost to that ninja this episode (hence he's one who knows no defeat.)

I wonder if that means Pain is stronger than Madara.

I don't think so. Abilities are mighty useful, but they don't make the ninja.

These specials are bringing back one of the original series things that was kind of lost in Shippuuden.

One of the great parts of the original series is how it would introduce all these character, and you don't have much of a grasp on them except for a vague idea of their powers. And then usually in the middle of one of their fights, they'd cut away to flashbacks of childhood tragedies that formed them into the people they are. The Chuunin exam arc was FULL of these scenes.

Shippudden on the other hand introduces very few characters that it doesn't intend to simply kill off. I think that's one of the main things missing from the Kakuzu/Hidan arc was backstories for those characters. I mean, we still don't know who the hell Jashin is.

I guess Sasori had a pretty good backstory, although they showed us almost none of his time in Akatsuki. And Diedara has a little bit of one, but not much.

[ASSpirine]

Yeah, I love those stories too. How did they became so powerful? How did their own village treat them as a child? How did they bevome involved with Akatsuki.

Really would have liked more information about Kakuzu, the man lived a few hundred? years? He fought the shodaime...

[Xyrox]

Very nice episodes. I was expecting them to drag this out, but instead they went for a pretty fast pace. Nice, although I probably wouldn't have minded if they dragged it out a bit. A lot of good stuff!

I thought Yahiko was the orange-haired dude who's hanging out with Sasuke, but now I'm unsure about that. However, it's obvious who Konan and Nagato are, as pointed out. So Jiraiya will be killed by his own pupil, like the Third? Poor guy. Can't wait for when they meet.

[DB_Hunter]

Is it me or was this part of the story about Jiraiya told later in the manga?

[Shadow Skill]

OMG so Naruto is the son of the 4th?

Like I didnt know :P

[DarthEnderX]

And he's named after a piece of fish in Jirayia's ramen!

we need some filler about kakuzo and sasori for sure.

So it can completely ruin their image?

No thx

No thx

+1 stick to canon, this is the best shipuuden has ever been, i think i even like it better then the chuunin exam arc

[Penner]

I don't like it better than the Chuunin exams............. yet

yeaaah, the only way it'd be good is if kishi writes it... which he wont. So I wont pray for any kind of ...the "F" word, but I meant if it came to that point again I'd prefer it over naruto and the gang Fil.. ehhh.. F'er.


The build up is looking great so far, if these keep going like this it'll deff be up there in top naruto arcs. Maybe even...the best?

Which is exactly why I was so surprised when I was watching this, I really didn't see the need for the change. This flashback was supposed to happen smack dab in the middle of the upcoming battle and I don't think setting it up beforehand really adds anything, in fact I can think of a number of ways in which it detracted from it.

I don't know whose bright idea it was to do this before the fight even began and I really don't know why the anime insists on trying to be so different but they really aren't doing anything good for the series. I'd hate to see what Rock Lee v. Gaara or Naruto v. Neji or Naruto v. Sasuke would have been if they had shown the flashbacks beforehand. The funny thing is that since those guys haven't been officially introduced yet you don't even know the significance of most of the characters you see in the flashback and they really didn't give you much background on some of the characters they should have, the guy who gave the Sannin their name for example, which means they're likely just going to repeat this when we get to that point.

Ehm, that's as far as I know, someone completely different. That's Juugo.

Well, I also expect Jiraiya to die, but really hope it won't happen...
There will be some cool new jutsu's though .

It's like picking up detail when rereading novels.

Stuff it.....

This is correct. There's 1 min and 30 secs of action that was taken out.

[Buffalobiian]

So it was the first 1:30 minutes at the beginning of 128? I'll go back to watch it (and redownload) since the entire episode wasn't a piece of shit, but I'm not quite bored enough to sit through the entire thing again.

[Marik]

It starts right after Jiraiya gives out the second keyword. The 23:07 mark to be exact.
