OMFG! Such an awesome episode!

Emotional, and the new soundtracks that played when they first meet are really amazing!
What kind of person wouldn't want to have a girl with red hair? Minato is the only person that has a good taste in girls apparently.

Technically, Minato wasn't scared of her. At the end, Minato told Kushina that he knew that she was strong. Therefore he refrained from getting involved.

god, I just love Kushina so so much! And it makes me cry when I think about how much Kushina and Minato loved Naruto but weren't able to be at his side /all the feels

truly beautiful episode with so many touching moments but also funny ones 8D

no, Kushina (and Minato) died 16 years ago :c Naruto is able to meet her because Minato left some of her chakra in the seal that seals the Kyuubi

everything involving naruto's family is so touching. this episode was really amazing and i give naruto (as a manga/show) a lot of credit for being able to actually have scenes this touching in a shounen. since i dont read the manga i had no idea what kushina would be like, but i have to say, she was really epic. and i loved her ttebane haha

waiting for next week is going to be awful :(

and is it just me or is kid minato voiced by miyu irino? if it is.... LOVE<3

Nice episode...Particularly beautiful
Mini-Minato's voice is terrible though, sounds too old!
Those are some wacky-ass ninjas if Kushina had the time to scream before being kidnapped, also when you kidnap someone so important you might as well NOT chill in forests walking,.. just carry her and go tree hopping ASAP -.-


I'm really liking the pace of this arc...glad they are handling it well x)

This was a very nice episode and was very romantic and a nice story.
It took Naruto a while to figure out that he was talking with his mother and it was a nice meeting Naruto's mother seems like a very nice mother.
And it was nice to see how she and Minato got close.

It does seem like she also had a pretty hard life.
Tho she was a fighter not just fiscally but also mentally in both cases she was a strong woman.

am just curious , when the nine tails attacked the leaf village it took almost every ninja to attack and hold him and minato sealing the nine tails , so in this episode naruto alone was able to weaken the nine tails so what does that mean :PP

Wow, they did an amazing job by expanding one manga chapter into a whole anime episode. and did it while not having the quality of the story drop, at that - mad props for that.

Nice animation, wise use of OST, good story telling, what else can I ask for?

Beautiful episode, 5/5.

Was I the only one who found this episode boring as hell? We get teased with all of two minutes of fighting, then blah blah blah flashback no fucking jutsu! I've only waited for a year or so for this goddamn fight after all >:/ Next episode will be yet MORE flashback but at least it's relevant and not just crappy romantic filler between two already-dead characters.

Plus, Naruto's mom reminds me of Sakura, which is not even remotely a good thing.

2/5, and that only because of the first 2 minutes.
