Did Sakura REALLY need to ask what the black X's in Sai's assasination book meant? Honestly...


How about the "Why is Sasuke on Sai's assassination list?"

I also love it how Orochimaru goes off the kill Sai, naruto immediately says they have to do something to help, and then they sit around and talk about his book and his smile...

Oh well, at least Sasuke is going to be back, maybe make things more interesting.


Lol i know. It's like : "Sai is in trouble but hey, let's just look at his stuff because we have alot of time to spare."

Am I the only one who was reminded of Mizuki while looking at Sai's brother. It seems that character template has been recycled many times. =p

Better than last episode, but still rather slow. Next ep sounds like it's going to be dialogue driven, too. Though I did guess right when Shippuuden started, take ~50 eps for them to get to Sasuke. We'll probably see him (properly) next episode, or in 51.
Since the next episode is obviously going to be full with flashbacks about Sai, my guess is 51 or 52. If we actually get to see Sasuke on episode 50, it will be a last 10 seconds scene.
Judging by the previews on this episode, it seems I was right! =D

I am waaaay late on getting to this episode lol...but it was decent. I liked the back story for sai and I am glad that he finally has his memories back.

I figured the picturein Sai's book was going to be them holding hands since he was drawn with his arm outstretched...but I never thought he would have a bingo book. Also, didn't think that it would have been Sasuke in the book...although I guess it makes more sense...but I thought they might find their own pictures. Oh well. Can't wait for the next episode either way.

Decent episode... a million times better than last week's snooze fest. The end kinda shocked me when Sasuke was in Sai's bingo book.

I am super excited for the next episode. It is going to be one of those double episode shows, so a lot will probably happen. Sasuke and Naruto reunite...yahoo!! It has been a 3 years wait for them and a 150 episode wait for us. ^^

That was really great. Loved how Sai remembered what he wanted to draw...
But now we find out that his true mission was to kill Sasuke and (I guess) not to serve as a "carrier pidgeon" between Orochimaru and Danzou.

Awww, that was sweet~ When Sai drew and finished the picture book.
And then.........He left it again =3= Good for him that he now remember some of his memories.
Wait, why are they and you guys here are surprised by the fact that Sasuke is in Sai
s bingo book. It's pretty obvious. Also, Sai changed. That bingo book was with him before he changed.

Half of me is really glad that there was a lot of tension and development, but the other half of me feels like the long awaited reunion is taking way too long. I feel like this arc is more justified in people's complaints about slow pace than the Kazekage rescue arc. I know I ranted about people complaining a couple episodes ago, but it has gotten to a point where it really isn't okay. It's not a bad show, nor is it a boring one, it just has really weak points that are fairly uncommon in shounen. The weak points are only getting more and more prominent unfortunately.

Well I mean at this fucking point he obviously isn't gonna kill him, he mayyy try, but he most likely won't after the touching scenes between him and Naruto in the last couple episodes

Sai's brother was also in the Foundation, which means he also should have been trained and forced to suppress his emotions like Sai. Therefore, it makes no sense that Sai is saying his brother was just like Naruto, loudmouth and impatient; he should have been a heartless robot with no idea what emotion are.

Sai's entire character did a 180 in what must have been like 10min in anime time lol.

I had tears in my eyes when I saw the picture Sai drew. I know a lot of people don't like this character, now maybe they should put their faces to the wall and repent!
