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.Originally Posted by kmkze04

wow, I caught up a year's worth of Naruto in 1 week. Not sure if that was a good move or not cuz now I am going to have to wait endlessly for episodes to come out.
But dang, great work Naruto producers! Please don't let Jiraiya die. One of my favorites.
I'm surprised by the amount of toads that Jiraiya can summon. Each time he's got a new one.
Are the facial piercings on the different bodies of Pain just decoration or do they serve some kind of purpose? Lot of information will be coming our way next couple of episodes...

By the way, there's going to be another "special" team of animators doing next episode (131)
This guy hasn't worked on Naruto before, but here are some clips of his animation

Were those guys in charge of the new opening and ending too?
Shiiit, those fighting scenes were off the shizzle!
Now im even more psyched about the upcoming fight!

What? You mean like antennas that he uses to control the bodies or something?Originally Posted by ASSpirine
I assume it's just cause he's really into "pain".
Maybe they're done in a way that they hurt when he moves, lest he forgets the pain he's learned.Originally Posted by DarthEnder

My thoughts would be that they are related to controlling that body as his own.
My theory is that he just has a really bad taste and thinks they look cool. Konan is too kind to straighten his misconception.
Pain doesn’t have necessarily to be Jiraiya’s student, my theory is that the real Pain never met Jiraiya before but because he has bodies of deceased ninjas he shares the memories those ninjas once had, having the Yahiko body and becoming one with Yahiko makes him Jiraiya’s student, Pain is a conjunction of various ninjas who are already dead, that explains why for the first time ever we see a guy with two different animals as his summons, and judging by the opening and the preview he’s gonna have a lot of different summons, normally you can only have a contract with one type of animal, so maybe Pain has one contract per body.
Where did they ever stated you can only summon one type of animal?
The third had Enma the monkey king, but was the death god also a kind of summon?
There is indeed a possibility that Pain is neither Yahiko or Nagato. It was never confirmed by Konan or Pain that he is one of those two.
There should be a reason why there are different kinds and different patterns of piercings. We'll see, or not...

The Death God was more a sealing technique than a summon. Animal summons require you to sign the contract beforehand. The Death God seal requires you to enter the contract when you perform the seal, with your soul as the price.Originally Posted by ASSpirine

Looks like Hanzo is going to get his fight. "Hanzo of the salamander" or whatever, and this guy summoned a lizard.
The nice part of them showing us all of his bodies means that, while we are almost certain Jiraiya is a dead man, Jiraiya can win a few times before ultimately being killed by Pain.
As far as the piercings go.... Pain seems like the practical type, I doubt they are just for looks. My guess would be that they are related to controlling the bodies, but not as antennas or anything that outlandish: thinking more along the lines of distraction.
I think all the piercings are there to cause a significant amount of pain and distract the consciousness of the actual body, allowing pain to easily control it from his own body with some strange jutsu related to those eyes. I hope Jiraiya likes that look, because if it is indeed Hanzo he is fighting then Pain may be a collector.
I think if that were the case, only one of the eyes would have the Rinningan, whichever body used to be Nagato's.Originally Posted by antiravage
The fact that all of the bodies have access to the Rinningan leads me to believe that Nagato is the one in control, and that the Rinningan is what's actually allowing him to control the bodies. Especially since it looked like there were 6 bodies in tubes, and Jirayia said the original Rinningan user was called "The Sage of the Six Paths".
Which makes me think, we know that Kazuku could use the chakra natures of everyone who's heart he had. Can Pain use the chakra nature of whichever body he's in control of?
I noticed he summoned a crab AND some kind of chameleon. That's the first time I've ever seen someone summon more than one type of animal before.Originally Posted by Artris
This guy doesn't look like Hanzo though, but I'm willing to be Hanzo is going to turn out to be one of the bodies.
More than that, did you notice the summoned beast's eyes?Originally Posted by DarthEnder
the idea of the piercings being used for him to feel pain or whatever doesnt sound right to me, after ur piercings heal they dont hurt anymore...

Maybe he's always picking at the scabs...

Lol, didn't think there would be a discussion about the piercings... Just wondered what they were for.
