Episode 69 discussion.

[AlbinoFury]

I agree with ya terra. Also i think the animation technique they used for the funny pakkun/shika moment may be used in cooler context later, its like a colorified version of the naruto berserk mode style. or w/e. btw good to have u back moderatin terra.

[Terracosmo]

Thank you. It's great to see your sigs in action again, too.

[SirCharlesIII]

This being my first post in a while, I'll risk flogging a dead horse here: I really enjoyed the episode, the amount of action and the structure of the various stories was characteristicly appetising, with the little shots of things like pakkun changing direction serving, as usual, to make a week seem impossibly long, but i really think the little shots of konohamaru and co. were somehow disjointed. If it was some charcter that could potentially make a bit of difference in the battle or story that had been suspensfully figuring out that somthing was wrong, i would have been happier, but as it is, i dont see him genuinely being able to.....change anything...why waste time building atmosphere around him? otherwise i really loved the episode and am dying for the weekend

I'm just wondering where Jiraiya is when all this is happening...maybe he'll step in and help the hokage against orochimaru..or stop the giant snakes...who knows. Where do you guys think he is? (havent read manga, so dont spoil if you know plz )

[pat-the-1337]

I think this was an awesome ep. they explained alot but not to much to where it spoiles the story, they showed bits and pieces of the hokage fight but made it so that they can continue the fight later, i thtink they did a good job filling in alot of ppls questions, while still having alot to be answered. personally i think ep 70 will be just as good as 69.

im still wondering what was up with the pencil splitting.

and also what kind of skill pakkun has. specealy after what kakashi said

[Mgslee]

One skill is tracking, that was fairly obvious

Maybe he has some uber berserk mode where he grows big and stuff, heck he might even be that giant dog that was biting Zabusa on the bridge

yeah, i had forgotten about that, next to pakkun&#39;s behavior itself (puts gai to shame completely, that dog does) the pencile thing was one of the most random things i have seen in Naruto...

kakashi&#39;s little thing was really annoyingly suggestive, and if you think, some of the best fighters, like gai and lee, are some of the quirkiest, so yeah, i hope we get to witness him in action, with more than shika&#39;s hand...

[Krbadass]

I can&#39;t wait for 70... but the raw isn&#39;t out today so i wonder whats gonna happen..

[Hatake Kakashi]

Its been out now for a few hours.

I love the raws because it gives me practice on just how much of a japanese vocabulary I have.

Which isn&#39;t much

[Hatake Kakashi]

-dono is used sometimes to show respect as well. In Rurouni Kenshin, he calls Kaoru, Kaoru-dono.

Which transelated means Miss, and you can also say dono to a male, it&#39;s Mr.

[Death BOO Z]

Dono is a higher version of respect, and it&#39;s applied to Samurais (Karou is close enough to be a samurai, since she is a dojo leader) or the empire (Makidou-dono).

it&#39;s applied usually to males (since Samurais were males) but it&#39;s not un-heard off to aply it to females.

Sama is the general highest, you can say sama on everyone, Sensei,Shinsho, Dono and Senpai have pre-requirements

[pat-the-1337]

lol when i first saw the pencil split i was thinking &quot; woot the kids are all gonna bust out on a chunnin and own him&quot; but i was left haning. but there is always ep 70

they ever said in the anime Asuma his last name is Sarutobi &gt;.&gt;;

so its a spoiler for anime watcher not for manga readers like you..

[KakashiSensei]

if its a spoiler shouldn&#39;t you not be quoting it?? I thought that was a rule.

I never read anywhere that Asuma&#39;s last name was Saroutobi (whatever the spelling is)

By the way I LOVE YOUR SIG

[frog hermit]

did everyone forget about the referee vs the sand sensei????????????

personally i hope i see them fighting at least a little in ep70.

[itachi_]

His real name is Sarutobi Asuma, that&#39;s it, check every god damn naruto-site..

[KakashiSensei]

Itachi_ Simmer down, I dont surf the every other Naruto site and said i didnt read it anywere, I didn&#39;t say it was false.

I dont talk to you that way so dont talk to me that way.

I actually almost forgot about that fight. Was kinda cool when Gemma tells Sasuke to follow after the Gaara &amp;co and he threw the kunais that knocked down Gaara&#39;s leaders&#39; attempt to hit Sasuke.
He executed that with such ease.

alot of those sites though get their information from the manga though, so most people around here wouldnt know anyway.

its interesting though.....how baki has a habit of getting into fights with konoha referees
