| That's what I wanted to see, Chouji has gone badass. They wasted the opportunity of a double episode to make something awesome by messing it up with the first episode. |
| This episode was just wonderful! The flashbacks were very emotional and it showed how much Choji has developed. The fight at the end was pretty awesome too. Choji has really gotten stronger! |
| Wow, I wish there would be more episodes like this one! Flashbacks from the other teams are nice. ^^ By they way, what was that for a fan Tenten found? Who lost it there? I absolutely can't remember this. |
 |
| Bit to many flashbacks :(, though the end was pretty good :P |
 |
| only the last 5 minutes were worth watching |
 |
| A really great episode, although some of the flashbacks were overwhelming. Made me feel a bit sad to watch but the ending was epic! NEXT EPISODE is When it Really picks up! |
| Wow! epic episode. Haven't enjoyed naruto that much for a while :) |

| Chouji fighting serious was awesome. The next episode. I can't wait for it. |
 |
| There were way to many flashbacks. I don't mind fillers, but flashbacks annoy me since I have already seen it! There is some good news though: |
 |
| Im not a Chouji fan, so it was really boring for me. still waiting to see something about sasuke... |

| Too many flashbacks but enjoyed it. most enjoyable episode in weeks. Never was a fan of Chouji, but great to see him changing, pretty cool wings..also Ino changed a lot much better than Sakura and hotter ;) |
| Really Chouji + wing, bad move IMO. These two episodes were semi entertaining could have reduced the frequency of flashbacks. I had hoped it would make some progress with Naruto but looks like thats next week from preview. At last. |
| Great :) Too epic for words. Flashbacks (I mean seriously, this is a double header, we watched the last episode like 2 seconds ago lol) got on my nerves a bit, but it wasn't horribly bad. Chouji's awesome~ |
| Choji, you the man :> |
 |
| Nice (double) episode(s). Good to see how Choji changed :) |

| In General a good episode, but a little bit too repetitive since we had too much flashback's and sometimes the same flashback's, although that we finally saw Chouji kicking some ass's. |

Shinryuken said: For real, so boringonly the last 5 minutes were worth watching |
 |
| Too many flashbacks, imagine this episode + last episode over two weeks... Well, the last 5-7 minutes were awesome. :) |
| Chouji is no longer a Metapod............AWESOMENESS! |
| "No matter how much of a genius one is, in front of the Uchiha name, they're just ordinary people." - Sasuke Uchiha |
| This anime really lacks of flashbacks, which is why i lowered my score from 8 to 6. :/ |
 |
| Good episode.. but much time lost with flashbacks... second episode had flashback of the first in the same day, wtf. XD |
| ^_~ |
| Man, two episode of Choji pouting and flashbacks. Flashbacks of events that happened in the LAST FRIGGIN EPISODE! It's funny, for me the best part of both episode was Ten Ten and she got like 15 seconds of screen time. |
| Looks like Naruto will finally be joining the war soon :D cant wait |
 |
| took way too long for choji to get his resolve but still a cool ep :D |

| I didn't mind the flashbacks. All of the flashbacks we've seen in these 4th Ninja War battles have been important in establishing the thematic content of the plot, as well as pointing out the "secret" to undoing edo tensai (namely, by making the soul at peace the jutsu undoes itself). While I'll admit that I found the caterpillar-butterfly symbolism a little heavy-handed - and I have to remind myself that heavy-handedness is fairly typical in shounen - all fighting and no thematic content makes for pretty dull anime. |
| Chouji with wings is really... weird. It just doesn't fit him. Overall this episode is okay. Probably because it's a little predictable and even if without some of the flashback scenes, the emotion will still be there. So the flashback is kind of long. Long flashbacks is never good in my opinion. But of course the purpose is probably to end it perfectly in time after they win, since one episode episode will be too quick/fast pace. Naruto returns in the next episode! Hope it would be a good one. |
 |
| Amazing ep.Chouji with wings was badass. |
 |
| Slightly too many flashbacks in this episode but it was cool to see Choji finally open a can of whoop ass again. |
 |
| FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOMETHING CHOJI |

Why do you guys complain so much bout flashbacks, the flashbacks adds more depth and substance to the characters and their relationships to each other. Besides gives the series more of an emotional vibe. Do you want to this to turn out like bleach? none stop battles with no real reasoning behind any of them accept for the fact to just kill and move on. Well this is different, so i don't mind the fact that the studio is adding in a few extra flash backs to help show the degree of emotion going through the battles that are former students are pitted against their own teachers that have been through with them thick and strong from the very beginning. It kind of also shows how much they have changed, and just if they got the dedication and a clear mind to able to defeat their own comrades in battle. Anyways next episode is when the shit hits the fan, naruto returns and from then on it should start to get alot better. Thats when i found my self totally addicted to the manga. |

| god that was excruciating.. two whole episodes of Chouji whining, then Chouji flashbacks, then Chouji whining some more, and some more flashbacks..... yes " flashbacks adds more depth and substance to the characters" but the point came across after five minutes yet they dragged it for forty. Also the fight itself was rather lame and unimaginative, they beat Asuma with a very simple distraction tactic. I'm generally dissapointed at how this war is just about the drama of the reanimated people, which is important of course, but where are the good battles? this is a fighting shonen anime remember? |

| Am I the only one who thinks this Shinobi War arc is boring as hell? Now It's all about the relationships between these uninsteresting characters. It's like I'm watching a soap opera.The excitement is gone, I like when they reveal secrets, political shit no thanks. |
| The ending was very good the rest of the episode was pretty much the same as the previous episode. What i liked about the ending was that Choji finally found his motivation to fight he finally grew past his fear for hurting other and realised what he was doing was wrong. Hopefully next week will be better tho. |
| Team 10 FTW!!!!!! :_________: |
| Didn't like these two episodes that much.. since I'm not a fan of Ino-Shika-Cho.. Though I got excited at the last 2 minutes =D Finally there is going to be some Naruto in the next episode~ |
| Such a emotional episode. Team 10 FTW!!!! |
 |
| Their has been about 34 episodes in season 12 so far. You know what that means? Season 13 is just around the corner. If you look at previous seasons, it usually does not go much further then 34 episodes. |
| |
| Only Naruto....long flashbacks of previous or even SAME episode o_O At least Chouji's finally ready to make the next gen ina-chika-chou formation legends ^^ |

I admit this arc starts off kind of slow, but don't worry, things are bout to get hectic really soon. This arc is barely just treading water. When naruto returns, is when the shit gets real. |
