hmm I thought these 2 episodes would be all filler, but they actually covered about 2 chapters of content. Nice surprise.
Wow. I acutally like these episodes. I thought they would filler up Jiraiya's history, but it actually filled in a lot of blanks from the manga. It was actually a little more the 2 chapters of material when you consider that a lot was taken from pieces of chapters, and expanded. Not only that but doing the Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato flashback earlier with actually speed up the pace later where the manga slowed it down. I applaud the studio for this decision. Good episodes. 8/10

Pretty good episodes. I thought they would be useless history elements of no relevance but they certainly seem significant after watching them.
Oro was as cheerful as ever.
WUT! Pain has Rinnegan? imba
Also, he looks just like the orange-haired kid from the 3 that 'supposedly' died.
Double wut, the chick hanging around with Pain looks exactly like the little girl of the 3 'dead' kids aswell.
Way too similar to be a coincidence. -.-
Was this the first time they've mentioned Rinnegan in the series? weird if it wasnt, i usually dont forget stuff like that.

It was the first time they mentioned the Rinnegan
I'm pretty sure Pain and the woman are 2 of the kids from this ep. The hair color is wrong, but maybe some technique merged those 2.
At least we got some more Jiraya story.. and this will improve the impact when he is gonna die.. (still believe this is gonna happen....)
My thought is, Yahiko and Nagato together are Pain. Something like, Nagato took the Rinnegan from Yahiko (sounds familiar ). The looks from Pain are clearly from Yahiko, but with the eyes from Nagato.
And the woman who's partnered up with Pain is Konan. It's quite clear and no doubt about it (the flower in the hair)
Great episodes, never occured to me that Jiraiya would have trained two several teams.

Oh man, this episode was jam packed with cool characters.
I wonder which ones are filler though? The puppet guy? The flash stepping Waterfall ninja? The giant shuriken ninja? The totally badass looking Rain ninja riding the lizard?
And was that last guy's village symbol a question mark? What is he from the village hidden in the Riddler?
I wonder what the rinningan does. Jirayia said it was the most powerful of the 3 eye techniques, so it's more powerful than the Sharingan. I wonder if that means Pain is stronger than Madara.
The lizard guy was Hanzo, and if you watch the preview for next episode, they mention that the missing leader of the Hidden Rain is Hanzo.Originally Posted by DarthEnder
I like how they are tying all the characters back together finally. Naruto and the 4th, Akatsuki's leaders and Jiraiya, Sasuke/Itachi/Madara... I am now officially interested again in Naruto.
You mean dattebayo was lying ?!!!!!
/kills self
Anyway, this is when shit gets serious. Can't wait for future episodes
These episodes rocked! I like how Jiraiya took the lead of team with his input and wise decisions...beautiful!
Action and Reaction are always equal and in opposite directions..
I think they were Sasori and Dan.Originally Posted by DarthEnder

Well, that may have been Sasori, but Dan was a Leaf ninja, the white haired dude was a Waterfall ninja.
I dunno. Maybe that was Kakuzu before all the heart transplants.
I love that even though Naruto really isn't all that enjoyable himself this series really makes the side characters very interesting (at least the ones that are old enough to have a back story). Very good episode. Can't wait for the next one!
Edit:
Was watching this again to see the fight scene they removed and remembered about Konan making that flower. It isn't really a big deal but I'm going to bet her fighting style has something to do with Origami.

Even though the episode was about 60% filler, I don't think it's a spoiler to point out that not a single person(or frog) that Jiraiya interacted with was a filler character.Originally Posted by DarthEnder

Btw, that baby scared the living crap out of me...
Who is the revolutionary one that the toad was talking about? Is it Yondaime or Pain/Yahiko/Nagato?
In the beginning I thought, ow, they mean yondaime. Should be nice how Jraiya encounters him for the first time. But he meets up with the 3 kids first... Is it also an hour special over 2 weeks? Can't wait
