This episode was utterly worthless, but perhaps the next episode will offer some mediocre entertainment, even though I suppose it's going to be a filler as well, based on frog hermit's thread, unless they randomly decided to insert a canon ep in the middle of fillers.
Ah, so this was filler then. It sure felt like it.
Was the last episode filler also?
I wonder if this means that all of these characters are going to be useless during the war so they're being given screen time through fillers.
Man, I finally get a Hinata ep and they knock her out for half the ep.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I count that a blessing. Compared to what she did for example during the Pain fight, in this miserable filler she wouldn't have done anything cool, just like Kiba, Akamaru, and... was there somebody else in this episode... hmm... oh, Shino failed to do. They fought like bloody academy students, not like established ninja. Being a Hinata fan, I don't wish to see her underperform in a pesky filler.
It's okay! There was still plenty of time for her to do that one thing that her character does!
Last episode was cannon, haven`t seen this one.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
There's no way this was canon. The previous ep had some elements that would have been surprising for a filler, like Itachi and Nagato.
I believe that's the episode he was referring to, not this one.
episode 282 in October should be back to cannon.
Was 280 really filler? Because it was pretty good.
it was filler
