Hoho that was a nice ep [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].. Funkey Tunaki demon. Kitsune and the Tunaki is often mentioned in Japanese mythology.. The Tunaki is a joker so his voice there fit him like a glove.. Im happy they didnt give Shukaku bigass gigantic balls like the Tunkai has in some cases [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. I think there is also some mythology about evil badger and fox demons fighting eachother.
I now enjoy Gaara even more that was one badass looking "demon" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And to think some ppl thought little sasuke could actually win vs that hoho got damn..
Was a nice thing that they had to henge into Kyuubi to grab Shukaku, both deamon boys in "demon" mode coool, they better weak up Gaara fast if they want to live.. Overall a badass ep [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
Kinda funny thing to read someone said who would have thought Naruto had to use Kyuubi powers to win vs gaara. well just some little info there for ya, Gaara is what 10000 times? stronger than anything they have met sofar, so duuh offcourse he would need to tap Kyuubi on some chakara.
It's also an epic battle so to speak two boys with something wierd inside much alike but still very much different they both show off what they got in some way, its just really cool. Ooh and Sasuke seemed pretty surprised there the little wanker [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
