Great fight.
And i really liked the tactic of Naruto to make his clones in advance before the fight.
Speaking of tactics Naruto seems to be really at it, that smoke screen was great and how he defeated the summoning girl.
Absolutely amazing.

for all the action that this episode had, it felt like they were standing around for a minute between each attack. action eps should be faster paced.

they should have pointed out that he put his hands on the absorbing jutsu pain's eye so he can't he see naruto with double rasingan going for the resurection justu pain.

finally some good episode, I'm starting to think pain is just too weak :/

I'm kind of glad they didn't explain that, since they spent enough time explaining the smoke bombs/clones!

Yeah, Naruto has already downed four Pains, and still has a sage clone ready, things are looking good for him....

Yeah, and this would really be the greatest time for naruto to show up, I mean, think of all the chakra Pain has spent on that village-destroying move. Pain might not be exhausted, but he is more exhausted now than pretty much any other time. Making it at least a slight advantage for Naruto, despite the risk of casualties.

Ya know, when I watched this episode, something hit me. Doesn't the whole scenario of Naruto fighting the Pain bodies in Sage mode remind anyone in any way of the lobby/rooftop fight scene in the first Matrix movie?

I didn't really think of this whole fight that way in the manga, but then watching this episode, I thought to myself "huh. Naruto kinda looks like Neo only without the shades, and warm/firey colored attire." Then I realized the way Naruto equipped himself to fight Pain, the way Naruto is dressed, the way the bodies of Pain act like the guys in those suits, and the whole "time interval" stuff with Pain's attacks, it all kinda reminds me of that very fight scene from the Matrix!

And not only does that seem awesome, but it makes so much sense too because I keep forgetting that Masashi Kishimoto is a fan of the Matrix. And yet up until now, I can't recall seeing much of anything about Naruto that to me resembles any part of the trilogy until now.

The new rasengan shuriken was awesome! I was kind of impressed when he actually thought of a smarter way to use his shadow clones. He should practice to do his stuff without them, though. It's kind of silly to have to see shadow clones in every single episode...

Otherwise, great episode!

The new Rasen Shuriken is just awesome.

Naruto using the clones to be able to stay in Sage Mode longer was just genius. I've read the manga but seeing it in action is so much better.

Damn, the frogs kicked ass in the last episode but at the end of this episode, they got their ass kicked.


The ending bit (Katsuyu & Frogs) was funny. xD

Great tactic and technique, but this episode really exposes the flaws of Naruto's Sage Mode. I understand it more after watching the events in the anime as opposed to its version in the manga.

Also, the use of technique from the Land of Waves arc is great, but really... did it need to be covered twice? We get it! Brilliant move, for an idiot.

This is pretty much the fight that we waited 300+ eps for. Its really epic, and Id like to say that it was worth it, but man did it take a long time to get to this point. Its still an awesome fight though.

Wow...Naruto got smart!? rofl!
He kicked @$$, I hope the rest of the season is likes this! Using some strategy/tactics for once with his head is a insanely nice chance.

Great battle! I was little disappointed that Naruto defeated 4 of them so easily and yet I was happy to see Naruto that strong. It will be interesting in the next episode. Shinra Tensei is really powerful I don't see how can Naruto beat it.

OMG! How can you guys like that ep?! Animations were awful . I hoped that will be most epic fight in naruto shippuuden, like it should be, but that what i saw was 10x worse than for example: fight vs Kakuzu and Hidan. I cant seeom to feel that power, dynamic EPICNESS. The moment when frogs were fighting (?) with Pain , i was like rofllolwtf . They looked like cooking some soup.

If I'm not mistaken, 2 goups share the animation of Naruto. The other group did Jiraya vs Pain + Sasuke vs Itachi. Maybe they chose the wrong ones now...

Okay so I re-watched some "Naruto" eps the other day - mainly Kimimaro vs. Lee/Gaara and I watched the whole Shikamaru's revenge arc of Shippuuden. I can't believe how much better the action is, why has it gone downhill so much!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

We've waited so long, Naruto's finally strong and then they let us down with the animation, I mean seriously, compare Drunk Lee vs. Kimimaro or Kakashi vs. Kakuzu & Hidan to Naruto's Frog Kumite just before he recharges - pitiful.

Also, I know this was a few episodes ago but while I'm in "rage" mode (I just mastered it) How the hell did Konohamaru learn this super awesome technique that maybe FIVE people in the world know, why doesn't everyone just learn it? It only takes a few days right? man these are some lazy ninjas. They should at least address it with some crappy excuse.
"I feel like the Rasengan is becoming some kind of cheap technique" - Naruto

Also how long was Naruto training before he mastered Sage Jutsu and surpassed a SANNIN and THE FOURTH!!!! Wasn't Jiraiya training for years (I know on & off but still) and wasn't the Fourth one of (if not the) strongest ninja ever? Shouldn't surpassing these guys be at least a little more difficult. Even Sasuke (who has always been a genius & has the sharingan) defeating Orochimaru & Itachi was explained (they're both half dead) & how he controlled Manda etc.

I really miss the good 'ol days when the characters used tactics & techniques that required stealth, deception, and skill (go Shikamaru!!!). But I guess we're stuck in power up city now. I can't wait till Naruto learns to fly, and then combines with Sasuke to use super-mega-Kyuubi-Uchiha-Sennin chakra and gets an even newer set of eyes.

On a positive note, I did like how he used the Spirit bo... I mean Rasen Shuriken.

I actually still like the show, and I'm sticking with it as long as we don't return to "a place to return to", or have another "Year of Filler!" (half year?) (shudders).
But seriously compare the last few weeks to older episodes...then weep...then hope for better quality in the future.

I'll shut up now.
