Best Episode ever ;-)
Hope the next one will be great, too.
nice to see naruto being competent for once
I disagree.Originally Posted by LunaticCat
Best 6 mins ever (~14:00 - 20:00), with our funny gag, but to dilute that over an entire episode makes it pretty good, but not great.
Honestly, that's the most painful 14 minutes ever. Worse than filler because you know awesome shit's right around the corner.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
actually, i totaly forgot about the firs part after Naruto crushed in - wich makes ist "the best episode ever" with anext to it (if you know what i mean)
I have to disagree here - getting exited is nice, its like christmas or something.
The actual fighting part was indeed awesome, plus a little guest appearance by the Ahou-bird!

The whole 'since I've mastered nature energy I can detect chakra bit' was OK, except the fact that Naruto never saw Kakashi *after* he 'mastered' it. I suppose we are to believe that he can just tell what kind of chakra Kakashi has, or this whole time he has been subconsciously aware of everyone's chakra?
Other than that, nice to see him kicking ass for once. Finally he turned his wind shuriken into an actual shuriken. He should be able to use that even without Sage mode, I hope.
He's probably aware of everybody's chakra. It's just that normally you wouldn't detect them from a mile away unless you've got some special detection skills.
Rasen-Shuriken should be unthrowable without Sage Mode. Naruto has to actively contain the normal rasengan so it's not released till impact. The addition of surrounding Natural energy likely maintains that containment between the time it takes to get from Naruto's hand to the target.
But unlike Naruto, you know exactly when Christmas will happen.
edit: and if you're on the Naughty List, it simply won't happen

It's an ok episode, the first part of the episode was made just to end with a "cliffhanger". The moment that Naruto p0wned that Pain was fantastic, didn't saw it coming actually
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
RAAAAAAA!!!! WORST CLIFFHANGER EVER!!!
Quite translation question.
Is Tendo the Almighty Push justsu, or is that the name of the puppet Pain?
I liked this episode, despite the fact it felt like they wasted a bit of time before and after to get the cliffhanger just right. It's so nice to watch Naruto episodes knowing you are going to enjoy them...
The Pain zombies now seem indeed weakened. Still, you can hardly say Naruto's timing was perfect considering he arrived after the whole village was demolished even if it helps with his fight against Pain.
So, Hinata was in Konoha, but we never saw her fight? Someone capable of disrupting chakra flow fighting against someone remote controlled by a chakra flow could have been interesting. Although a Pain zombie might have been too much out of her league in any case so maybe it was better this way.
@Darth: Each of the Pain bodies supposedly represents and is referred to as one of the six domains of the desire realm from Bhuddism. Tendo is Japanese for the 'God' realm and refers to the Pein body with the push/pull power.
The other domain body pairs are:
- Asura (demigod) domain -> Puppet looking guy
- Hell domain -> Guy who summons the giant tongue stealer head thing
- Animal domain -> Summoner
- Human domain -> Closed eye soul stealer
- Hungry Ghost domain -> Absorber

not sure what his name is, but Almighty Push is "shinra tensei"
Tendo's kanji should be (天道), lit. Way of the Heavens.
I believe Yuki's correct.
I have my doubts about how directly (loosely) Shinra Tensei translates to Almighty Push.

Just watched the episode and Im a little disappointed. Action sequences was cheesy at best could have been more crisp like Itachi vs Sasuke...that was done great...Although the episode was good...I thought a little more work could have been done better...
Hope they get the good stuff for the huge battle between him and Pain. And the inevitable background story of him and Konan. Can't wait.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
I'm also wondering why he can throw Rasenshuriken now. Is it just because he's be able to train it more because Sage Jutsu lets him use it without ruining his arm, or does Sage Jutsu itself allow him to throw it?
If it's the latter, why exactly does it do that? Does having a bunch of Nature chakra just give it the energy it needs to be sustained over a distance?
Anyway, kinda surprised he pulled out his "new ultimate technique" so soon into this fight. Unless the thing takes out a bunch of Pains it's probably a bad idea.
Basically, what I'm asking is, when Pain says "Tendo's power won't return for quite some time.", is he talking about his ability to repair the puppet Pain again, or is he talking about his Almighty Push jutsu.
My guess would be that because nature chakra is drawn from all over, it can be drawn in to sustain containment even after the Rasenshuriken leaves his hand, unlike when he uses his regular chakra which needs the channel of his hand to flow from his body. Which in turn would let him use it without damaging his arm because the channel it was backlashing down to do damage is no longer there (or if it was simply an effect of being nearby when the power was release, he no longer has to be near).
Another posibility is that it really is just the amount of extra chakra avaliable - when he was initially learning Rasengen way back when, he was told he needed to put his full strength into the rotation while also putting his full strength into containment - since in sage mode he is running at full strength + some it may simply be that he can use that to boost containment beyond what he could normally do, allowing it to be maintained for a limited time after leaving his hand - he puts the same amount of power into rotation, which provides the strength, but a higher relative amount into containment.
Despite achieving the sage mode, it's still Naruto we are talking about. He's not a famous thinker and tactician. But if it ends up taking out a couple of Pains, then it was also a good tactical decision. In the end you should always attack with enough force to defeat the enemy, unless it's a special situation like a diversion.
Normally I would agree that Naruto isn't much of a thinker or tactician. But he did well the last time he went up against the Akatsuki. And even now he has the others to help him and guide him.
