Naruto Shippuuden Episode 129-130

[Buffalobiian]

Has it been explained what Jiraya did exactly when he put his fingerprints on the scroll-toad? It would be quite lame if it was some sort of soul storage or something.

My guess it that it's a Chrakra seal. Tsunade had one on her forehead that allowed to to generate from pretty much any attack that didn't cause instant death. I'm expecting Jiraiya's to be just one massive chakra powerhouse for some eye-candy Jutsu next week.

I've seen the intro and I don't know what the HUGE spoiler is supposed to be. Maybe it's only clear to those who've read the manga? Or did I just overlook things? Although I didn't pay too much attention to it, since I don't wanna needlessly spoil things for myself.

If you didn't want to spoil yourself, not paying attention was a good move. Otherwise, those spoilers were blatantly obvious, such as: That Sasuke will fight Itachi, a katana will pierce someone in an Akatsuki cloak, Orochimaru/Kabuto ripping out Sasuke's eye, Sasuke getting a Mangekyou Sharingan. (in fact, this even explains who would have to "die" to trigger Sasuke's M.Sharingan.), Naruto going beserk after releasing his seal, possibly the manner of Jiraiya's death, and Naruto telepathically knowing when it happens because this is anime. Spoilers galore.



------------------------------------

Well for this episode, I'm glad we went back to basics and showed some skill that basic Chuunin are supposed to be capable of: information gathering. Jiraiya's the man.

Tobi has sharingan? Holy fucking moses.

I thought that was a given when Tobi announced himself as Madara.

I don't get it. I thought the translation was really good. Anyway as was mentioned that scroll-toad is the key to the seal on Naruto's stomach and Jiraiya was storing the key inside his body. All he did there was release the toad from its contract with him and told it that in the event of his death the toad should store itself in Naruto. Should that actually happen, well the outcome should be obvious.

It should also be noted that Jiraiya is responsible for Naruto now being able to go 4 tails because he used the key to loosen the seal when he was training Naruto.

Naruto apparently only has half of Kyuubi's power, and if Jirayai dies, he'll have the jutsu to open the seal(or redo the seal...I dunno).

I'm kind of curious, if the civil war in the rain ended a long time ago, where did the Rain ninja in the chuunin exam come from?

Also noticed a slight continuity error. In the scene where they showed Tobi at the valley of the end, the statues still had their shins, even though they got destroyed in the battle between Sasuke and Naruto.

Bill is right you do have a good eye, and speaking of good eyes damn Bill that was spot on..

We could are argue the semantics later but the fact that Minato split the Kyuubi's chakra in half doesn't necessarily mean that Naruto only has half the Kyuubi's power. Minato separated the Kyuubi's yin and yang chakra and sealed the yang in Naruto, it's the whole light and dark thing they alluded to back when Kakashi was teaching Naruto about nature manipulation. That's my theory anyway.

Well it seems Pain is keen on keeping up appearances and keeps a tight lid on information, and it's interesting that she mentioned that her husband was a genin.

Not really a continuity error, that battle was over 3 years ago and they do fix stuff. Must have repaired it around the same time they repaired the third's face on the Hokage mountain and added Tsunade's.

Did anyone notice if HorribleSubs clipped anything out like they did in 127-128?

There was a pretty gigantic recap at the beginning of the episode, about 5 minutes long.. I don't think they cut anything else out, but we'll see in Taka's release.

NO SPOILERS

I came in here looking for opening discussion, since it's pretty fucking ridiculous. In a great way, of course. But, I came upon this and simply had to comment.

You're wrong. You're wrong to such an extent that I feel like we watched two different openings.

No spoiler discussions and no quoting spoilers.

The opening was baller, though.
