Good episode.
Good episode.
i swear sasuke looked like he was breakdancing fighting naruto's kage bunshins..
I tried my best...
Man, that was fantastiawsome.
I still can't believe only Shikamaru made Chuunin though. I mean, I know he's got "leadership qualities" but jesus, you would think that a rediculous amount of combat ability and bravery and saving the entire village would count for SOMETHING.
yup
pretty good episode
it really did look like sasuke was breakdancing huh
it did seem like sasuke defeated the bunshins too easily though
naruto was kinda getting owned by sasukes speed and taijutsu, punching bag
there were a lot of things going on in this ep, all of them are pretty cool
shikamaru looks cool in his chuunin vest
man i really liked this episode. we got to see more of shika's team, theyre one of my fav ninja teams, Ino is really cool.
But the fight was really sweet, Naruto sure was talking a lot of shit. Im glad that Sasuke was bringing the fight to Naruto, he needs this, cant wait for the next episode. Gonna be good.
The best is when Sasuke made that face at Naruto, before he asked him to fight, and his face was all sketched in black, that was pretty crazy.
yay finally the long awaited fight, cant wait for next weeks conclusion [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Ok episode, too much useless crap at the beginning though, especially the Chouji part.
Naruto wasn't trying to beat Sasuke with just the clones. They were mainly a diversion to buy time while the real Naruto prepared rasengan. If he wanted to attack he would've just sent them all at once like he usually does, but this time he sends 2 or 3 at a time.
btw it looked really gay when Sasuke was breakdancing all over the place.
Great episode. No tearing this one down. Although I never did understand why the kage bushins are so damn weak all the time. You would think they would land a few hits.
man oh man, such a good episode, I was surprised that the filler was actually kinda interesting, but it's so good to be back to the actual storyline. I was also surprised that the fight between Naruto and Sasuke felt really natural. Like you'd think it'd be really sudden that suddenly Sasuke is all angry and Naruto, but after all that they've been through and after getting his ass handed to him by Itachi and hearing that Itachi was actually after Naruto, it made a lot of sense that Sasuke would be so pissed. Also that Naruto would react the way he did, he was hesitant to fight Sasuke because of the way he was acting, but still he had been wanting to fight him since the chuunin exams, possibly earlier. So yeah, good episode, can't wait to see the next one.
episode ruled, i wish that the breakdancing scene had been fully animated to be one scene being watched (Matrix style) but i cant imagine the work that that would have taken.
I feel bad for all the Manga folks that new this was coming and have been on pins and needles for months, this was most definetly a pleasant surprise after the last few wks.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
nobody witnessed naruto and shino's matches out in the forest.....so think of those as "unnofficial"Originally posted by: DarthEnder

Great episode. Actually as a Manga reader I wasnt really waiting for this ep, why you ask? Simple cause in the manga its stare down, kage bushin, fire then rasengan / chidori... it was really really short.Originally posted by: Cal_kashi

The added fight "filler" was awesome, just wish something else was done like more technquies. Naruto henged as a blanket would've been cool and to have Sasuke track it down and punch him or something... I dunno but great ep.
ah henge, no body seems to do that anymore
Well, you figure that a kage bunshin is only 1/3 the strength of the original if it uses the same laws as a water clone (mizu bunshin)
I don't believe it does, I think it's been stated that using Kage Bunshin splits your chakra evenly amongst your clones. So the more you make, the weaker they are.Well, you figure that a kage bunshin is only 1/3 the strength of the original if it uses the same laws as a water clone (mizu bunshin)
Exactly why I don't think I'll ever understand the manga fanboys.Actually as a Manga reader I wasnt really waiting for this ep, why you ask? Simple cause in the manga its stare down, kage bushin, fire then rasengan / chidori... it was really really short.
I actually liked the "breakdancing". It almost seemed like Sasuke developed a fighting style specifically to allow him to defeat Kage Bunshin by allowing him to strike out all around him.
In fact, it kinda reminds me alot of the real world martial art Capioera.
Any episode with Sakura running headlong into a veritable chakra storm is a great episode. Glad to see that they used the filler eps to fan the flames for Sasuke.
great ep. best part was when sasuke slapped the plate of carefully peeled and sliced apples. sakura got owned [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

They made the fight much closer than I was expecting. Sasuke was actually landing hits on Naruto, but then again they were using physical combat so that's natural. The ending was nice, when Sasuke's fire breath got owned by rasengan [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Everything about this episode kicked ass. Fav part is when naruto and sasuke are running side by side and sasuke punches and kicks naruto toward the gate with the sheet over naruto's body. This fight shows that naruto is getting better and better at using his head rather than head on attacks. They could've added some scruff marks on naruto's face b/c sasuke was "ROY JONESING" his face good. Oh and my second fav part was when sasuke was doing the seals for the blazing fireball tech and block the last kick to naruto rendan with his elbow.
This episode was @%@#$@# GRRRRRRREAT.
waste of my time, i hate filler episodes like this.
