This episode was miserable! :( Are they just going to keep killing everyone off? :(

I'm sure that at least Neji is not dead, it'd be too sad!

Is this how it's gonna keep going? They all split up and they all die?

Have to say the new cheery ending song didn't go well with the mood of this episode. D:

I highly doubt Neji would die this early in the game, so I doubt Chouji is either. Still a good episode that shows how Naruto changed him, with a very cool and well thought out fight scene to boot.

This was a pretty good episode, but frankly this show just doesn't have the balls to kill off the supporting cast like this. As much as I would like Chouji to stay dead (Neji seems like he could still have something to do) knowing this series, they'll find a way to undo it. I would hazard a guess that someone, probably Sakura or maybe Tsunade is following behind, and will doctor no jutsu them before it's too late.

Neji went all out and admitted that Naruto saved him. Doubt he will die.

No ones dead it would be a bit stupid to kill them off when the series(Naruto) has only got under way. Neji is just brilliant

Combined episodes again. Happy new year special~
Spiderdude's power is really troublesome. Man, do they look ugly during their stage 2!!
Neji suffered many injuries, but he is now a changed man. Thanks to Naruto. Neji is now more awesome. I can still remember his hair falling down.
2 of them already mentioned Kimimaro.
New ending song~

Rewatching!

As this is my 5th time rewatching the series I can now say this is my favourite fight in the whole of the original Naruto! A really sad episode and Neji was just amazing.

Neji talking about Naruto like that was so fulfilling to hear and really shows how much he has changed since their fight!

The battle was simply putting a blind spot that makes no sense in the character and putting 8,399,273 minutes of flashback in the middle of the fight. Unnecessary conversations and nothing important that adds to the story.
I pretty much skipped the whole episode and changed the grade I gave the anime to 5 (with decreasing possibilities).

Well.It went just how I expected,but the finale and most of all the SOUNDTRACK made it all.They really know how to use the music and the flashbacks.Don't give up Neji,I know you're not dead!
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Neji and Choji can't be dead right? I mean, Neji was just starting to get some good development. I don't think they're dead?

many people don't like the fact that naruto has long battles. But that's the fun part to me, so I think it's gonna be pretty interesting to see these individual fights just like what happened to choji and neji.

though the battle had won beautifully, i must say that choji "end" was more sad.

decent episode. didn’t hit as hard as the choji episode but glad to see neji’s growth since his fight with naruto. the 3d render of neji looked ridiculous. his sudden blind spot felt like a lame addition to his power but i guess it makes sense there’d have to be some weakness.

probably the best fight till now.Sure it doesn't rival the explosiveness of the prior fights .But it had grit,resolve without the shonen hax mixed in.Purely analytical from either side and Neji didn't shrug off the damage he was taking in or not trying to mitigate it .He progressively became weaker but he didn't just turn super saiyan ,he used his skill at the precise moment to turn the tide.
