And about the "trying to look left and right at the same time"... I've been wondering if he'd ever use the rasen shuriken again or what the point of mixing two different chakra elements was. So this is what they were planning... |

| ugh people need to read the manga :| |

| Well that was excruciatingly dragged out... In the manga it was one flashback of like one page just before he rasengan'd the pain... They should not be doing this when the manga is so far ahead, plus they will add yet another filler season after this ordeal no doubt.. So there is no way in hell they will catch up. Therefore pick up the god damn pace!! |

Therefore pick up the god damn pace!! Well it's either stay at a snail's pace and keep a good gap with the manga or risk doing the same exact problem with the first Naruto series by catching up to a certain point of the story very close to the manga and then do who knows how many episodes of filler. Though either way seems like a messed up choice at some point. This has been obviously a problem for a while now and frankly I wish television networks in Japan would just have an animated adaptation of a long-running manga run for a certain numbere of episodes at a time go on hiatus for a season and then come back with new episodes. Like if say Naruto was to start all over again in 2002, it would've made ten times more sense to me if you had 13 new episodes of the first season for the fall, go on break winter, come back again with 13 more new episodes in the spring to end the 1st season, go on break in the summer, then repeat the cycle for a new season in the fall. If stuff like that happened, studio Pierrot wouldn't have to worry at all about dragging any part of the anime and then Naruto would have a higher re-watch value because the pacing would be faster and better. I have trouble understanding why television networks can't just do something like that more often. |

Concerning the episode, not bad bot bad, at least it was better than last week's misery of episode. HERPADERP said: ugh people need to read the manga :| ugh people need tu shut up |

Veethorn said: Because it's not as profitable. Okay, care to be less vague than that? Not as profitable how? I don't really see the difference by making new, better-paced episodes every other season and keeping the same time-slot by airing re-runs of those previous well-paced episodes in-between as oppose to airing a new episode every week that not many would bother watching again. |

That's the key element, many still watch it and keep watch what they are given, why stop airing episodes when people are still buyin' it? If they made it into seasons and higher quality episodes in terms of pacing, they could keep some of the viewers, but woulnd't have like 70% of the people watching some filler episode that they would have released in between those seasons. It's all about the money, as long as something is selling, they won't stop it. Why would they not do it this way (Studio Pierrot and so many others) if it wasn't better for them? Why do you think Pokemon still exists? It's all very simple really. |

WHy do you think Pokemon still exists? It's very simple really. I think Pokemon still exists because people only buy the games. I don't think people even care about getting it on DVD if the episodes themselves aren't worth watching over and over again, which is kinda what I'm talking about. Long-running anime can run off of whatever merchandise like video games and toys by default when several companies collaborate to throw money in the pot, obviously. Though I don't think it would be too much to ask if the studio also seemed to care a bit more about adapting a show than just "the episodes will be mediocre, but whatever, the episodes will be just ads for the video games." At least that way, I can imagine the DVDs being affordable. Not that I'm saying it's gonna happen anytime soon, but still. It would be nice if Naruto as an animated show was treated better than that. |
HERPADERP said: ugh people need to read the manga :| Which at this point is just boring and utterly stupid. Anyway, back to episode. It was lame to see Pain falling for clone trick. Also, this clone really withstood a lot of damage before disappearing. This kid is borderline annoying. Can't believe I actually like Naruto more than him. Other than that, no real point in this episode other than seeing what this Pains ability is. Guess in next episode Pain will rise, kick the kid, just to have him saved by someone. |
| That little kid just .... OWNED .... the big bad Pain. |

| Sig deleted for idiocy. |
| I actually enjoyed that small fight with that Pain's Body, especially Konohomaru's resolve, pretty cool rasengan there. |
| |
| next episode will be shinra tensei time |
| It is just not right for him to pull that off on an enemy such Pain. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I thought it was a great episode. Konohamaru's clones seem to be way more powerful than what Naruto makes. |
 |
| Well damn Pain got fooled by Konohamaru.. hahahaha. Not really sure if this could be considered a spoiler.. but just in case. |

| Hey does any one remember the element training. Wtf was the point in all that if Naruto never uses it. |

| woaaa pretty much awesome and badass episode =)) nice character development there.. he was kinda cool at the end =))) |

| "trying to look left and right at the same time" - they said something like that before joining Rasengan and Wind Element. I guess he will use Shadow Clones for Sage Mode training. |
| Some facts: 1. You're surfing myanimelist.net 2. You're reading comments 3. You're reading my signature 5. You didin't notice that there are no 4 punct 6. You just checked that 7. You're now smiling |
LeftWingGuerilla said: About the omake at the end...what was Karin planning to do with that toothbrush? I loved it! It was pure fanfiction, animated! |
 |
| I thought that only three people in the whole world managed to learn rasengan. How the hell did Konohamaru learn it when there wasn't even time for Naruto to train him? |

So this is what they were planning... naruto actually did use the rasen shuriken in the last naruto shippuuden movie. That was a pretty epic rasen shuriken. But those movies donm't really relate the the series much anyway. |
 |
| NARUTO IS MEMBER OF THE HIDDEN LEAF, I HAVE NO INTENTION OF TELLING YOU AKATSUKI ANYTHING!!! i love that line |
     |
| Konohara pwned pretty bad.. Naruto.. What was that HAA!! at the end? |
 |
| "its like looking right when youre looking left!" wow i really lol'ed there:D:D |

| Konahamaru pulled a good trick on Pain. His imagination of Naruto's technique cracked me up. |

MaskGT said: "trying to look left and right at the same time" - they said something like that before joining Rasengan and Wind Element. I guess he will use Shadow Clones for Sage Mode training. My thoughts, too.... I loved the expression he made when he figured it out, lol |
 |
| To be honest this episode is a bit disappointing compare to the last....Shouldn't the tension of the pace getting higher and higher?..... Konomaharu can learn rasengan without Ebi sensei or Jiraiya teaching him,He learn the jutsu from Naruto,but I don't Naruto will sit by and train him for 1 week or something.Either Rasengan is a very easy technique or Maybe Konahamaru is just more clever than Naruto.Either way,Konomaharu is late by one decade compare to Naruto,hope Konahamaru can create other jutsu other than Rasengan in the future if he want to be a rival for Naruto. |

Kuhaa said: I don't like Konohamaru. This episode had a lot of Konohamaru. You do the math. i take it....thats your way of saying you gave it a 1? lol |
| Jigokudo didn't even realize that it was a Bunshin. But really, that Bunshin withstood a LOT of damage. Oh and Gedo - Pain's Outer Path was nicely animated, IMO. Nice episode. I heard the next one's gonna be a special. Sweet! XD And more Shinra Tensei! XD |
