Now that I think about it, Rasengan isn't Wind-element until Rasenshuriken, so had Sasuke learned from Pervy Sage he could've made his own Lightning Rasengan ...


I don't think elecricity would work well with rasengan, it would just blow it up. The nature of rasengan is whirl, so it was natural to combine it with Wind element :P

Lol...I just joined this site just to comment...anywhooo...
The Re-Caps are just to Annoy yet Keep you in a tense mood...I'm probably guessing that at the end TOBI...will somehow gain the upper hand and pose the ULTIMATE threat to the Leaf Village and probably everyone will gather to defend it and Naruto gets in a Battle to the Death with him. TOBI obviously will manage to almost defeat Naruto and somehow right at the very LAST moment when he is about to finish Naruto off Sasuke will jump between them and sacrifice himself...with a whole I'm sorry for what I've done Naruto...(practically erasing all his crimes he committed and making him a Martir) Naruto will go into some kind of Rage-Mode and finish TOBI off...Anyone comes up with another idea pls do tell i'm curious of everyones thought (and also if anyone could hit it right and perfectly guess the last episodes/events )

(P.S. After these episodes Sasuke could somehow be affected by Naruto's words and go into a WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO state and lays low for a while...just to make sense on what I said above

I wonder why do I still watch this?..


Because the canon is still superb? Also, at this point we are so attached to the characters we just want to see their outcome. It would take a particularly epic screw up from Kishimoto to blow Naruto completely at this point, and honestly, the chances of this happening are very slim thankfully, the guy knows his craft.

Really people... REALLY?! How can some of you miss such obvious cues?! People really HONESTLY didn't get why their jutsu's were swapped?! You didn't get that most of these flashbacks were NOT a recap and instead a flash on Naruto's thought process (a little overblown for "filler" purposes but still)?! Come ON! If you really lack such basic comprehension skills you should start reading grown up books asap and drop anime for a while. /rant

I almost rather them have complete fillers than these mostly filler flash back episodes, they are making the main story painful to watch.

Yeah, gotta love how this entire episode took place during the last one, during the second where Sasuke and Naruto's attacks met...

Sigh, are they really so afraid that they'll catch up to the manga?

This is just ridiculous... All that really happened in this ep was naruto held back Kakashi whilst Naruto and Sasuke ran at eachother... I'd rather they just give us a filler of young naruto racing frogs or something, i could skip it, wait for a real canon ep and not be disapointed.

Honestly, they could have replaced the overused flashbacks in the prev ep and fitted the entire canon parts of this ep into the last one. Their scripters must be goldfish seeing as around half of an average Naruto ep is flashback.

yea agree...

last time i was excited and can't wait for naruto shippudden episode to come out, but due to those previous episodes it slowly makes me think "how much flashback for this episodes..." whenever i am going to watch it. now i might stop watching for a month or 2(i know it's quite a short duration though) since i am totally uninterested already, and even the preview seems like it's going to have more and more flashback... :S

I wonder is re-cycling is an alternative to fillers, if so, what's worst?


You mean you just realized that? Did you honestly think the manga had all those flashbacks you've been viewing the last few episodes?


Actually, no...
I read the manga and know it to be of good quality and doubt a manga would get away with this; the manga keeps the anime going.

I think that re-caps are a great way of saving cash, as fillers require a storyboard to invent a plot.
I wonder if they have caught on to people dissliking fillers, as many unfortunate people have bough anime boxsets, some of which avaliable are 95% filler (episodes split into separate DVD's); which dampen the overall quality of the original series; as they're hardly relivant - it seem the storyboard don't even follow the series at times.
Ultimatley, perhaps they think people are happy viewing relivant, past material?
Or maybe, they're in it for themselves; the above being an excuse? Marketing is key.

it pains me to press the forward button to skip what needs to be skipped, and then i realise there's only 1 min of the show left before the ending hits in, just after pressing the forward button one more time again... *depressing shit*

3/5 just for that run and for Sasuke's shocked look when Naruto told him what he was least expecting, that he understands him.

-Quite a short episode.

Nothing much to say except this episode is full of flashbacks o.O
Though I manage to somewhat enjoy the inner confrontation/conversation between Naruto and Sasuke.

Next episode doesnt look too promising though.

I think 90% of those flashbacks were really needed, especially the last one when Naruto explains why he wants to save him so badly and in the next episode he will probably tell him that he loves him as a brother, hehe.
I think we would be all satisfied if that ep was a bit longer, so then flashbacks wouldn't be stealing the real action.
20 minutes (real action) + additional time for flashbacks = 35 minutes :P

Damn, can't wait until next ep.

PS. I have a hunch that Naruto may actually convince Sasuke to become a good boy :P

Lol the manga chapter in which this episode was based doesn't even have any flashbacks. There were way too many unnecessary flashbacks especially the one where Sasuke says "thank you" to Sakura, lol I think that one has been repeated like 3 times already.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

This shit is getting ridiculous. Don't the animators realize that constant flashbacks are ruining this show. As I'm typing, episode 115 is playing in another tab cause it's pointless to watch something that I already know happened. This shit is totally unnecessary. I seriously want to know what will happen next but these animators or director is making it impossible to enjoy what can be considered a critical point in the storyline.

since no one posted it i'll post it..Got a giggle out of this episode because when sasuke and naruto were running at eachother and were about to hit, naruto had chidori and sasuke had the rasengan..iunno made me laugh so i thought id share.
Yea! I thought they drew wrong!

I noticed that, too. XD Thought my eyes were failing me...

I liked the episode, but I really do wish they hadn't mixed in so many flashbacks with actual content. Either had a 100% flashback-y episode that we can skip over, or an episode with 100% original content. But not a mix. Makes it ever harder to even want to watch the episodes...

Naruto's face at the start in slow motion...

"you tried to hurt her, huh.. yeah we're going to have words".


Not sure what it meant that she knows how she feels, i'm really hoping "she doesn't want to kill saskue" rather than "she's still in love with a killing psycho hate machine"

And for some reason she still yells out naruto's name instead of the i have evil red eyes guy...

i liked the animation of the reversal of powers, as role reversal where Naruto went down the hate path

That thing of reversed roles was just too epic; and it seems like Sasuke is hearing everything Naruto's saying so at least he seems to be understanding it.

That's right, Karin, don't give a shit about Sasuke anymore.
That scene was shaping up to be pretty good, but the flashbacks kinda ruined it :/
I remember watching those scenes and some parts of Sasuke vs Danzou on Youtube back then ahahaha.

Naruto was saying what if their roles were reversed, that's why Sasuke had the Rasengan and Naruto had the Chidori ;)

One of my biggest pet peeves is when an antagonist has a very stupid reason for being an antagonist. And Sasuke's reasons are moronic. You already got your revenge by killing Danzou.

from some reason the too much flashbacks at the end made the whole epic scenes in the ep not shining enough...

the only flashback that i liked though was showing naruto vs sasuke fight at the end of part I right before they clashed their chidori and rasengan, kinda what naruto targeted at the moment.

sasuke is living proof that hatred is blinding, literally.
