Guardian978 said: 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 |

| "There is no stupid questions, only stupid people." |
| 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? |
 |
| Good episode but would've been great without the flashbacks. |
 |
| Hm to think naruto could of been weaker or perhaps stronger with vengeance |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| 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 |
 |
| The Flash backs killed it for me...I was being completely generous by giving it a 3 out of 5. All i ask for are some epic battles between team 7! |

Monad said: Queen_Stars said: 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. |

| The flashbacks are torture! |
| 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. |

| If fast-forwarding didn't exist I wouldn't have even bothered to watch this episode. |
| I tought that the beggining of the fight Between Naruto And Sasuke would be on this episode ! And Those Flashbacks SUCKS ! |
| -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 |
 top 3 anime: Code Geass | One Piece | Death Note |
| 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. |
| None of you would survive watching Gundam SEED?Destiny! that whole show is practically known for flashbacks! lol |
| . |
| you know i gotta admit, while the storyline right now is getting bit bland with all the flashbacks the animation is getter better especially the last couple of eps |

| 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. |
 |
| Nothing much happened.. just dialog.. They're starting to get a habit of showing flashbacks every so often.. flashbacks we've seen several times :-P The ending was kinda creepy.. were they in an alternate universe? haha |
   |
| I'm sick of the flashbacks. Just get to the action, but then again that's why the manga is better than the anime. |
 |
| Flashbacks.Fuck.You. Also this confirmed Karin is definitely better than Sakura, she knows when to give up. |
| Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssshhhhhhhhbackkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! |
 |
| Reversed roles, huh? Naruto looked cool with Chidori. Though I can't say the same with Sasuke doing Rasengan. :D |
shinki7 said: azoth50 said: Yea! I thought they drew wrong!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. 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... |
| They both understand each other just with a punch |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| they're in fairy world! |
| I'm waiting for Sasuke to say: "I don't care. STFU already." |
 Read my manga at http://tapastic.com/series/Strawberry-Succubus |
| 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 |

| fucking sasuke |
 |
| Haha finally Karin has opened her eye :D Good thing there is Iruka sensei who safe Naruto childhood from darkness~ |
 |
| The pacing is starting to suck again ;-; |
| "The world cannot be changed with pretty words alone." ~Lelouch Lamperouge |
| i understand Naruto .... I understand Sasuke ... i undestant this plot is the base of this anime... but this stupids confrotations with a lot of words, but nothing of fights, with ends forgiving the rival, begi to be to me tired.... The next time, the last fight, combat, Naruto Vs. Sasuke, both will die!!! Accepts bets:::: xD |
| "Sasuke, you are my goal" Naruto is gay confirmed lol |
 |
| It was cool to see Naruto and Sasuke clash again, but all the flashbacks made this episode pretty meh |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Come on Sakura, you are more badass than this! She came a long way from where she was before, but it's not really showing here and that's a shame. :/ |
| 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. |
| Flashbacks aside, was a good episode. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| So the limit is now 1 chidori, 1 rasengan and 1 spiritual speech per episode... at least we're making progress, I guess :( |
 |
| Big plans Sasuke.Big plans |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| i guess clone naruto is still in bed since yamato didnt show |
| 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. |
