| Well that was a pretty good ending! A bit disappointed that we didn't get to see much of the wedding and that Sasuke didn't come, but it's no biggie. Now we're just all waiting for Boruto I suppose, but I can already tell that I'm probably not going to like it cause every character is a copy-paste of their parents.. :L |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Really wish they had not made the final episode about Iruka |

Karmafan56 said: Kouhais said: Felt like it needed to be way longer :'( I was expecting more and am disappointed with the finale. It was ok but was just that... ok. They never even covered Naruto and Hinata becoming a couple. Just all of a sudden they are getting married and they wasted quite a few of these episodes on side characters and Shikimaru's mission. Did anyone ever even see Naruto show romantic interest in Hinata? I realize this is not a romance anime but how about some continuity. If you want to see the romantic developement, then it happened in The Last: Naruto the Movie. https://myanimelist.net/anime/16870/The_Last__Naruto_the_Movie?q=The%20Last%3A%20Naruto%20the%20Movie |

| Naruto ending still feels surreal. |

| Well, that was a pretty nice end and transition into the Boruto anime, especially with that after credits moment of Naruto handing him his headband. I'm really hyped for Boruto, it's what got me back into this series I first started like 12 years ago and one of my first major gateways into manga. Temari was cute. Also, please tell me the full versions of the art from the end credits are available online somewhere, because I NEED a high quality version of this Anko picture in my life.  |

| It finally ends! I have so many memories of this anime and this episode was very emotional. I disliked the Boruto movie and especially hate Boruto as a character so I'm not really looking forward to it. Though I'll watch it anyway just to see what happens. |
| Wow, it's so crazy to think that Naruto Shippuden is finally over. This show has been such a huge part of my life for 10 years. I remember anxiously awaiting each new episode every week; getting pissed whenever we entered filler arcs; getting excited to see what other fans felt about episodes in discussion forums and Youtube videos; it's all just been one hell of a ride. Naruto will always live on in my heart as the series that opened up the world of anime to me. As for the episode itself, I felt it was a really sweet way to send the series off. Revisiting the Naruto/Iruka relationship was a real emotional experience. Iruka was the very first person to really acknowledge Naruto, so to see them evolve from their sensei/student dynamic and embrace a more father/son type of connection was very touching. Seeing all of the people Naruto had formed bonds with in the past, and to have them be there to support him on his wedding day, really made you realize just how far he had come as a character. And I've always been a huge supporter of the Naruto and Hinata relationship, so to see these two characters finally get married and be happy together was just the icing on the cake. All in all, it's bittersweet for me that the Naruto anime ride has finally come to an end. But I am excited to see what the future holds, and to see what the new Boruto anime will have to offer. Thank you Naruto, for all of the wonderful memories. You will always be my absolute favorite anime and manga series. 10/10 :'-) |

| I started watching Naruto on March 10th 2007, I was on holiday in Ukraine visiting my grandparents and Russian dubbed episodes of Naruto would air every day on Jetix. Even though I had no clue what was going on I was so invested in the show and loved it just because of how cool and exciting it was to me as a kid. Now, just over 10 years later on March 23rd 2017, I sit here alone in my room, crying more than I have cried in years because I finally set Naruto Shippuden as 'Completed'. I'm still crying as I type this because I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Naruto has been one of the biggest parts of my life since I first saw it. I've stuck with the show through everything, all the fantastic and unforgettable ups, and the long tiring downs, through all this Naruto is still the most precious show to me and it will be a 10/10 forever. Thank you Kishimoto for creating this world which I will never forget and creating the characters which I grew to love and hold close to my heart. Thank you Naruto for inspiring me at so many points in my life and keeping me going. Thank you Studio Pierrot for bringing the manga to life as one of the most loved anime of all time across the world. I even re-rated every show I previously had as a 10/10 on my list down to a 9/10 after watching the final episode today, keeping Naruto and Naruto Shippuden as 10/10 - because in my entire life nothing has come close to meaning as much as Naruto does to me. Thank you. Onto the next generation - I hope everyone is as excited for Boruto as I am! |
| 15 episodes behind but I went ahead and watched some parts of episode 500. Hate how they've ended it on a romantic note, my least favourite part about Naruto. I genuinely would have been more content with Naruto ending up with Sasuke than with the actual pairings. Ideal situation would've been the 2 remaining single. Obviously though, life's all about that £££. Can't blame them for wanting to create a sequel. The whole basis of Boruto is so shitty that it'll probably make me depressed to watch it. I wish Naruto had ended after the final Sasuke fight with the two lying on the ground. I mean, at the very least I was hoping they'd use the first ending theme to end off the show... Ahhhh ffs Naruto. |
| Naruto Shippuuden is offically over with episode 500. It was a sweet and nostalgic episode and a good ending for the series. The day before the final epsiode I finally for the first time watched The Last: Naruto the Movie and together with episode 500 it made it a brilliant ending for the series. I'm just amazed at how extremely beautiful Hinata is and very cute at that. Hinata in her wedding dress looked totally gorgeous. The moment I saw Hinata for the first time, she immediately became my favorite girl and I was rooting for her and Naruto to become a happy couple and so it did which I'm glad about. Also, the scene with Naruto asking Iruka to attend his wedding as his father was a sweet and at the same time a sad moment, a really heartbreaking touch. I started watching Naruto back in October 2008 and since then it has been a joyful and an awesome ride over those long years which I enjoyed very much. Naruto will always be special to me as it was the first series that introduced me to anime as I know it today. With episode 500 an era has ended, so Goodbye Naruto and Welcome Boruto! A stunning Hinata <3  Naruto & Hinata a happy couple:  |

| Thanks for everything Masashi. If studio clown goes bankrupt, it would be a dream come true π |
| It's been an amazing journey these last 11/12 years since I started watching Naruto, being able to grow up with these characters has been an irreplaceable experience. A beautiful ending to an amazing show. |

| simply amazing. been a fantastic fucking journey. there's no limit to what i want to say on this. i'm gonna go sleep on the roof tonight. #NeverForget #Dattebayo |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| Although I have vague awareness by osmosis, I have never actually read/watched Naruto (I was into anime 2000-2001, 2009-2011, 2015-now) but I watched the end of this episode and almost teared up anyway, it was beautiful. Hinata looked amazing. Stefanonono said: Russian dubbed episodes of Naruto Oh man I want to watch that :D (I've been learning a little Russian) |

Stefanonono said: Russian dubbed episodes of Naruto Oh man I want to watch that :D (I've been learning a little Russian) I agree with you there, Hinata looked stunning, I don't know what magic Studio Pierrot used on her but she was gorgeous. On the topic of you learning Russian - that's cool! It would be pretty interesting to watch Naruto Russian dubbed lmao, I don't know how you would go about finding those anywhere online though :p |
| I wonder what anime will take the spots of the big three Anyways, this was a beautiful closure |

| filler ruined this show for me but i guess that was a satisfying ending, not even gonna touch baruto tho lol |
 |
| decent filler still no reason for sasgay and sakura to end up together |
| Problems with Naruto: Manga: 1. Didn't know how to use some characters and barely used them (Kiba, Tentei and Shino are some good examples) 2. Sasuke x Sakura's bad development. In summary, Sakura just kept loving Sasuke no matter what he did while Sasuke never showed a hint that he was ever interested in Sakura until the very last couple of episodes. 3. 4th War Arc wasn't bad, but not the best. Manga score: 9/10 Adaptation: 1. Of course, all the problems of the manga. 2. The overused repetition of full-length flashbacks, completely ruining the pacing and mood of the scenes. 3. MANY instances of greatly unsatisfactory animation, even on crucial moments. 4. Gigantic amounts of boring fillers. Adaptation score (ignoring filler overload): 7/10 Adaptation score (counting filler overload): 5/10 |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| IT'S FINALLY DONE. MY CHILDHOOD ANIME HAS COMPLETELY ENDED. One of my favorite animes of all time, the anime that always aired on thursday. This was one hell of a ride that I will never forget. I've read Boruto but hopefully the anime will fill up this empty void. |
 |
| Good episode I guess. I wanted good filler though, cool fights to make up for the main story being shit. But no, disappointing until the end. I am sad that it's over despite the series sucking. I'm too attached to the series to hate it but all that wasted potential will forever haunt me. Why didn't they adapt the rest of the novels?? BS |

| Yay! Wedding and the series is finally over. This episode was kinda "meh" for me, especially since it was adapted from the novel. It was a nice wedding and what not but I would rather still have it end the way the manga did. To me, this felt a little lackluster and underwhelming for such a HUGE series. 3/5- For the finale. Like I said before, I'd rather have it end just like how the manga did instead of adapting the light novels. Those can be done at some other time or as OVA's and what not. Not bashing the novels, but it just felt very out of place and mediocre. With how the manga ended could also be used to hype up Boruto as well...considering thats when he makes his first official appearance in the series. Although...that Iruka and Naruto moment literally tugged on my heart strings. That made me so happy. 7/10- For the series. Simply because I've been with this since I was in middle school. I'm almost 30 now and its insane how long I've been with this series. It wasn't all great, but when the major and important scenes finally emerged...It was awesome. The fillers kinda killed the score for me though simply because it completely derails my excitement for upcoming arcs which made the overall flow of the series unbalanced. And yes, I'm sour for bringing this up yet again but I'd rather have the series end with Naruto becoming Hokage. It was his dream since day one of this series and for him to FINALLY achieve his dream after 15 years would be the perfect way to end the series rather than a wedding. I didn't watch this series since the final Sasuke vs Naruto battle, so I'm not sure if he had become Hokage during that span but if he didn't, then it means that Naruto will start the Boruto series as Hokage. That kinda bothers me considering this generation ended with a wedding rather than ending on Naruto's driving force through out the series. Anways, respect to all those who worked on this. Respect to the studio, producers, directors and voice actors/actress who stuck with this for 15 years. You have my respect and admiration for doing something for this long. Now on to Boruto...though my excitement for this isn't that high...except for Sarada, she's pretty cool. |

| It was decent. While I liked the focus on Iruka and Naruto in the beginning, I think it would of been better left as it's own episode right before the wedding. I honestly expected to have more than the few snippets we saw of Naruto and Hinata together. All that hype for not a while lot, really. Overall the episode was alright, but I'll be sad to see an era come to end. Feels just like yesterday when I saw the first episode of Shippuden air. |

| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| SO MANY FEELINGS. I WILL LIST AND (TRY) TO COMENT THEM. PS. my eng sucks 0. First of all, for me Naruto ends on episode 478-479 with the Sasuke shinden as bonus. The reason is because was the original end of the serie on kishimoto's perspective. Everything that exist later, it's because of the serie of Boruto what means, arguments for this serie to begin. That's my opinion, nobody have to agree with in. 1. I can't handle my heartbreak because of Sasuke... (10seconds of him, 3 doin a half-sad smile) I'm narusasu and my true love's meaning concept could only be totally complete with them together but i'm ok with the fact of Naruto married with Hinata (at least if can't be Sasuke, it only could be her who always has loved Naruto β‘ ). 2. I'm glad with the focus on the meaning of Iruka in Naruto's life so I didn't control my emotions when Naruto have beg for him to stand as his father at the wedding ceremony. Here was 3AM when i literally started to SCREAM watching that scene. 3. After all, everything we were allowed to know about the wedding ceremony was those cutscenes from Naruto the last movie :( 4. ANYWAY, THIS ANIME HAVE BEEN SAVING MY LIFE ALONG YEARS (MAKING ME LAUGH, CRY AND HELPING TO FORGOT NUMEROUS MOMENTS OF SADNESS AND ANXIETY) SO, SHALL I NEVER, EVER WOULD BE ABLE TO HATE SUCH MASTERPIECE. I ONLY HAVE WHAT TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. #THANKSNARUTO ζ¬ε½γ«γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγγγγ  img source: twitter |

| Beautiful way to end it. Wish the rest of the anime had so much soul put into it. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| It does feel like an end of an era now that Naruto Shippuuden is over. Hinata looked beautiful in her wedding dress. Pierrot did an outstanding job there. =) Still, what a ride it has been. Despite going through some terrible filler episodes here and there, the canon episodes were mostly great. The final battle between Naruto and Sasuke was a highlight for me. Heck, most of the crucial big battles were really good. So now it's over to Boruto now. Hopefully it'll be very enjoyable. 8/10. |
| Gah! I can't believe it's over!!!!! I felt like this episode was kinda wasted... wanted to see more of the wedding and some more HinataxNaruto T_T #gonnamissNaruto |
| Haven't completed the series yet but I'm happy for the fans that it was able to have a good ending. |

| I started watching Naruto only two months ago, but now I just feel like crying.. I never knew how much this anime meant to me, and how fast it would get into my life. I always hated Sakura, but in this episode I just wanted to hug her tight.. the way she was looking at Ino and Sai. :( ShikaTema was on point! Thank you, Kishimoto-sensei. It was great. I only wish I watched Naruto earlier. |
 |
| Woww after all these years this shows over(just to be rehashed with his son Boruto lol). I talked so much trash about this show while simultaneously watching it at the same time over the years, I'm legit sad it's over. Also Hinata's still garbage and it should of been her instead of my guy Neji. I'm gonna go to the grave saying that one lol but for real I'm going to miss this series. |
Mayu-san said: I feel the same. Naruto went right into my hart and now when its over im kind of sad. And i also hated sakura haha. Loool! I think if I ever rewatch it, I won't hate her any more. |
|
| I watched Naruto when I was a kid and picked up Naruto Shippuuden in 2012. There were times where I wish the filler ended but the main storyline (imo) was great. I'm not ashamed that I cried several times during this episode, because this is the only show that I've watched weekly for SO LONG.... NOW, let's see how long Boruto lasts LOL. |
 |
| Dem Feels....I wish we had a 1-hour episode but no matter it was episode..You will never be forgotten naruto..childhood series..Thank you for the memories 9/10 |
