Well... that was lame

The manga made it seem really cool, but all those blue lines (the wind slashes) took out the cool factor of the technique

Jeez

alright.....we finally get to see the full force of his new ability. the depiction of it was magnificent. now to move on to the next part of the story.

geh, you beat me to it.

im not sure how else they could have animated that ability though.

I kinda wish the fight was a little more drawn out, it pretty much makes everyone else seem so much more trivial in power compared to Naruto the way it went down...otherwise sick new move was worth the wait

Dang the new move was kick ass, and its still not perfected..but from the preview, looks like it causes some damage to narutos body. Very nice episode imo :)

That...was rather anticlimactic...we begin the episode with a failed attack, and then waste time to see Naruto "trick" Kakuzu the way he always does...behind the back sneak attack...this didn't need to be a whole episode. Just ok for me.

well, the technique is the only one of its kind in existence, you'd think it'd kick major ass. especially versus mid-ranking akatsuki.

also, i thought the way they depicted the move was pretty meh. but i dont see how they couldve made it any better, so i guess ill hush ><;
mehh time for next arc pls

well, that's basically how it was drawn out in the manga.. other then some little filler with the dramatic music and slowing down scenes ~

i thought it was pretty well done.. it was nice to see an animation of the actual attack. all those cuts makes sense if you keep watching, or read on the manga.

looks like next week starts with the transition from canon to filler~ there is soo much material to work on, i don't understand why they put this extra story in..
though i am not expecting much, i do hope the fillers are somewhat decent..

: / im not gonna complain about the length of the battle, cause they usually draw those things out for like, 10-12 episodes. so i was quite happy when he finished him off in a few minutes, but i guess you can't please everyone :D

9/10 for hardly any time wasted and an epic new move.

edit: would have been a ten if hidan's head flew out of the hole and bit shikamaru...

I really thought this episode had great potential, but ended up just being decent. I know the show is called Naruto so he has to be the hero, but I wish they would have let Yamato at least help out. I find his fighting style to be a lot more interesting than Naruto's, plus the twister they made together last episode was sweet.
The thing that bugged me about this episode though, was how they wasted six minutes showing Shikimaru. His fight was awesome, but it was over last week, this was just a waste of time. Overall though a solid conclusion to a great arc.

Great episode, Rasen-Shuriken looked cool enough. Although, Kakuzu's death was a little anti-climactic.
LMAO, Hidan's head threatening to bite Shikamaru to death, his insane foul mouthed antics will be greatly missed.

It was an okay episode, but still the end of my two favorite Naruto characters. RIP Hidan, Kakuzu...and now that they're out I'm done with Shippuuden. Guess it's time to go catch up on the manga ;D

I really wished they could have made that fight longer... it was so suspenseful last week and this week its like.. poof its over. the whole episode should have been about that fight, they should have added filler fight like the rest of the fight. Instead it seems like Kakuzu lost all his witt and let it hit him. If that was anyone else but Naruto... the fight out have been drawn out lol. Also they should have emphasized a bit more that Naruto is actually surpassing the Fourth's abilities and growing up.

That's enough complaining, I waited for this episode and enjoyed it. Somethings could have been better but overall... great mangaarc... now for the mixed filler/manga arc (this is a first...)... hopefully its not terrible. And hopefully Naruto keeps progressing unlike in the original Naruto.

well, i don't read the manga, but i thought the episode was great! wtf, naruto just kicked someone's ass! i've been waiting, like, 200 episodes for that to happen. i thought it wasn't allowed.

though, i agree, i would've liked the fight to last a little longer (can't believe i'm saying that about a naruto show), but i also really wanted to see it end this episode. and it did! hooray!

and yay for shikamaru single-handedly defeating an akatsuki. :)

i wonder what was worse

Hidan looking at naruto getting ready instead of just attacking or yamato making trees grow out from his ass.

the entire plot at this point is major fail anyway :/

later edit,

GOD WHATS WITH THAT ENDING`? XD
Those effects were the worst! and the entire fight was a fail in the end, hahahaha

serioulsy they should just give up on Naruto, have him killed and continue with the characters that do have some potential (sasuke, the akatsuki, lee ...)

If this anime was centered around Lee then it would start to become a big succes! I am sure of that. Naruto could remain a sidekick. :P

I feel sorry for Hidan he is still alive yet buried...It was cruel- Shikamaru could have burned him or sth...

And yes- Kakuzus death was a bit too long

They were both so funny together...

And now welcome fillers ans Saskukes amotional problems...):

I seriously, seriously hope Hidan is not going to come back. That would just suck. Shikamaru took care of him, don't bring him back now, it would be a waste of planning. And this fight between Naruto and Kakuzu was LAME!
I mean, the moment he ran towards Kakuzu second time, I knew that Kakuzu is going to attack the clone having raren-shurriken, and real naruto will flank him and kill him...too predicting, and too easy.

Meh, I liked the episode but it wasn't THAT good to be ranked 5/5. They are fighting Kakuzu for couple episodes already even with Kakashi.... and then naruto bumps in for 1 second and gets him with only two tries with a ''trick'' ?? Ah well.... it's a shounen after all, main character will always prevail :p I still like watching Skikamaru fights more than naruto fights though :P

Nononono, don't you mean Shikamaru :p? Vote yes for Shikamaru, the shadow chronicles !xD Lee is also great character though :) Hope he gets some time in upcoming filler arc

Okay at first i though, now it's naruto's time ->he fails -> next episode he beats him... but i never expected to see 2 akatsukie die in 1 episode... do they need more time for filler episodes or something? jeez... (xD)
@Peralisc & Straw-Hat-Matt (hi xD) I disagree, Lee is to me just some annoying character...

I wish those blue lights of wind came in at curves angles from different directions, like a cyclone of wind should behave, as opposed to going into his body as straight lines from seemingly right angles. Ah well.

I personally think this was a good episode, along with the two preceding episodes. In my opinion they made the events progress well, having read the manga version as well.

But a whole another question is, whether the episodes following this one will be really boring or not... Remembering what happens on the manga, it'll get boring now. ~__~

that was lame. all Kakuzu had to do was blow fire at Naruto like he had been at the others and he could have killed them all in the insuing firestorm from his and naruto's techniques mixing :/
also think that its lame that Naruto actually thought he had to be point blank for that attack to work, that was definitely a "close is good enough" kinda attack, and unless he wants to wind up killing himself he needs to find a way to throw that thing :/

it should also be mentioned that Temari could probably have killed the guy in a couple of seconds with no real preperation.
