Naruto Shippuuden Episode 175

[Killa-Eyez]

At this point I sensed a darker, more sinister-like Naruto anime. Everyone in Konoha psychotic and disorderd from being brought back to life, Naruto vanished (probably in pursuit of Sasuke) and all loyal ninja's turned rogue. Ninja Scroll-ish.
A man can only wish...

I fucking hate Shippuuden's main theme. It ruined Naruto's welcome scene for me. What happened to those traditional flutes, drums and chants from back in Naruto? It's waaaay more suiting!

Although, wtf with Sakura getting to hug Naruto while Hinata just watches. That's messed up. I didn't see Sakura getting almost killed to save him. She doesn't deserve hugs!

That is messed up! WTF is the bitch's problem, punching him in the face again???

Other than that, a sweet episode.

I didn't even understand your post at first, i had to read Marik's to get how far off you were.

On the contrary your post was very easy to understand. To misunderstand, that is.

Although, wtf with Sakura getting to hug Naruto while Hinata just watches. That's messed up. I didn't see Sakura getting almost killed to save him. She doesn't deserve hugs!

It's quite simple in my opinion: Sakura used to love only Sasuke, but now Sasuke having been a rogue ninja for years, she must be calculating it's possible she will never have him. With Naruto's star rising all the time, she planned to reserve Naruto as the fallback man if it indeed turns out Sasuke is a completely lost cause. Now she suddenly witnessed Hinata confessing to Naruto. So, she has to do anything to keep them apart, lest she loses her alternative.

Yeah that surprised me the most from this episode. Omitting the punch and just having the hug there would have shown how uncharacteristically relieved Sakura was at that moment. Or they could have shown her arm flying out like she was going to punch and shown Naruto's face flinching, then cut to that hugging animation with petals floating, doves being set free, harps playing, champagne bottles uncorking, condoms being unwrapped, etc.

And yeah I also expected more outrage from viewers about the resurrection, but I was pleasantly surprised. My thought was: Naruto earned every single praise he's finally getting, and he earned Kakashi's life too.

Hopefully he'll give Hinata more of his attention from now on-if he wants to find her after THIS performance I imagine he need only follow the slippery trail.

I'm really interested to see how townspeople will interact with Naruto now. Up until this point, he basically blended into every crowd in Konoha scenes(between major events) and the only one I can remember calling him on a first name basis would be the Ramen Chef. Think Naruto will still have to pay for his food? He fucking shouldn't.

Now, let`s say 6 of the Konoha twelve are fighting some foreign ninjas, one of them uses a technique that will undoubtelly kill him in the end, another one gets a fatal wound in his chest/shoulder/whatever, both mortally wonded, yet both survive somehow, you`d be dissapointed yes?

Not if someone else had to die to make sure they lived. Like I said last week, I don't mind resurrection techniques that kill the user, since there's still a cost to be pai...

Oh wait, you're talking about the Sasuke chase arc....sneaky bastard. That did piss me off at the time. Especially since neither of them have done anything worthwhile since then.

[Buffalobiian]

and how exactly did he ressed Kakashi since he really didn`t killed him?

Okay, I'll spell it out for you (since it obviously isn't done obviously enough)

Nagato is not a soul tank. He does not give back the souls he took.

Nagato has the power to control life and death. He can bring anyone to life again given he has enough chakra, and they died within a certain time frame. Physical mortal damage is of no concern.

(They never showed something like decapitated ninjas or completely burnt corpse, so we have insufficient data on that)

The whole village thinks she's an angel. And if Pain was the Rain's leader, then she's the next in the chain of command anyway. Why would she even need to "take over". She's the rightful ruler.

If the village regards her the same as they regard Nagato (which does seem to be the same), that'll be the case. There's a little bit inside me that wonders how "Pain has died" will affect the population. If Pain and Angel had a big gap in terms of status, potential uprisers could cause problems in terms of the entire country's vision.

RE:Hinata

She was never really that close to Naruto in the first place. Up until recently, she bolted and/or fainted whenever got close to him. (excluding fillers).

[DarthEnderX]

I almost forgot the Crowning Moment of Funny from this episode which was Ino saying how tingly badass Naruto makes her and the reactions of the others when she said it.

Well, the village is full of ninja heroes. We never see anyone buying Kakashi dinner. They're celebrating his victory now, but it's gonna die down. It's not like Naruto is gonna have ninja papparazi following him around for a year.

Of course, how the hell did Naruto pay for his food BEFORE he became a ninja anyway? He was a fucking 10 year old orphan living in an apartment! How did that even work!

I'm not worried about her. She's still an Akatsuki level ninja. I'm sure she can put down any opposition.

I wasn't expecting her to run up to him. I was expecting HIM to go to her. He heard her tell him she loves him. He should acknowledge that one way or the other.

... I wouldn't get my hopes up

Obviously not, if he can res anyone then it still makes no sense, i have a question for you, and it`s in all caps to stress my frustration so you better brace yourself and hold on to something, extra exclamation and question symbols may occur.

WHY DIDN`T HE RESSED YAHIKO!!?!?!?!!?!?!??

Since we are assuming stuff to make sense of this mess, i`m going to say that it`s obvious (see what i did there?), that he had knowledge of his own techniques when Yahiko died.

[ASSpirine]

Maybe he didn't know that technique yet, and you could say Yahiko commited suicide by impaling himself on a kunai.

Also, I'm wondering what will happen with the already caught bijuu's. I doubt that anyone else can summon that statue. Some interesting info will come our way I hope.

[Buffalobiian]

^ that......

[UChessmaster]

Yeah, read the last part of my post guys. Here, i`ll quote it.

[Archangel]

You think it's obvious he already had mastered control over life and death at age 15?

[Buffalobiian]

We never assumed anything. He (or Konan) told us.

[UChessmaster]

You think it's obvious he already had mastered control over life and death at age 15?

So i should assume he had control over his other techniques but not the one he actually needed, even though he could clearly control the statue itself at age 15?

Naruto has Sage control at age 15, Sasuke has MS control at age 15, Gaara has a lot of control over his jinchuuriki at age 12, Lee could open the gates at age 13, Nagato having control over his Rinnengan at age 15 (with jiraiya as his teacher of all people) is not such a crazy idea.

We never assumed anything.

You assumed the technique works on those that recently died instead of those Pain killed as he himself said so.

I`ll bring back those that i`ve killed since i attacked Konoha

[Archangel]

Should you assume that he couldn't seeing as he didn't and it would be logical for him not to? Yes, yes you should.

[UChessmaster]

Should you assume that he couldn't seeing as he didn't and it would be logical for him not to? Yes, yes you should.

Is logical for him not to know it, but to know the other techniques?

Fine then, let`s forget about that part, i was trying to prove a point and i`m clearly terrible at it.

[Archangel]

What other techniques? I saw a half assed force push and a summoning, that was it.

[UChessmaster]

What was so half assed about it? seems like he did it perfectly to me...

The statue thing he had full control as well, and the ressurrection technique, to me seems like an extention of the statues abilities, if he could rip the life of those rain ninja with the statue, he should be able to give Yahiko his life back as well.

[Archangel]

You're not even gonna try and defend your original point anymore are you?

And by halfassed i mean it looked weak in comparison to what God Realm could do ( forget the fact he took down a village at full power, even his normal push was able to deflect some of the strongest physical attacks we ever saw in the anime ) and it was only done once

[UChessmaster]

??? my original point in this thread is that i didn`t liked the mass ressurrection. Which one do you mean exactly?

And by halfassed i mean it looked weak in comparison to what God Realm could do ( forget the fact he took down a village at full power, even his normal push was able to deflect some of the strongest physical attacks we ever saw in the anime ) and it was only done once

What was so weak about it? ninjas throw shit at Nagato, he deflected ALL of them, what else you need?
