This episode was quite bad. It contained only flashbacks, but next episode will be awesome.

Episode was ok. We saw Kurama's point of view of Naruto in the past he just wanted to get free that's why he always wanted Naruto to use his power.

This episode was disappointing... but I'll wait until I see the next episode until I complain.

EDIT: Nope, the other episode sucked as well. Meh, I"m pretty pumped for 329, been waiting to see this moment animated for a while. I get that they're trying to build up suspense and all that, but seriously, two whole episodes of flashback was unnecessary. This was even handled better in Storm 3.

Lol Kyuubi exposed Naruto hard in this one.

this episode was great i loved it the rezone being it was very necessary to know the kyuubis side to the tale and the flashback didn't contained dialogs,moments that we already know(it didn't drag on) just the bits that were truly important was used so i was very happy to see that and also it was very important to the story to get a clear idea about every character before jumping in to action all the time with on sense. kurama has suffered as much as naruto(less or more i don't know) that made me feel a bit happy and sad at the same time :3 this was just brilliant cant wait for the next episode :3

I haven't seen Naruto for 1 year and had forgotten most of it. It was a fine episode of how Kurama saw Naruto all these years. And that was the point - to remind the audience and to give us a brief view from Kurama viewpoint. Since i believe future episodes will be about Naruto's and Kurama's bond or somesort (as much as ive seen some pictures, i really dont read manga of it anymore)

But they seriously don't give a damn about viewers who keep track of Naruto every week. LOL and that's why people are disappointed with this.

if you add the fact that Naruto learned his biggest jutsu (shadowclones) by stealing the scroll in season 1.. he's pretty weak.

Well, it was nice to see the Kyuubi's POV of Naruto's life, even if it was mostly flashbacks.

Honestly, the pacing of these episodes are a tad fast and there's not enough original content with in them like in the Pain Fight. Even if you we aren't completely caught up to the source material at the moment. We seem to be approaching it quickly. So I'm expecting filler episodes soon.

i agree, it was some good nostalgia to remind us of the troubles and difficulties Naruto went through over the course of Season 1 and Shippuuden. Also, great to see Kurama's POV in Naruto's life. Before, we only saw bits and pieces, these 2 episodes were good in completing the whole circle. Loved it!

People have mixed opinions if this filler-flashback episode is good or not.
I think it was good, since Kurama isn't really a chatterbox and we have heard his voice a lot this episode... also we see his POV (even though we all know its just flashback).

Anyways, not complaining since we got two episodes, now on to the next one!

This episode was good. Don't mind the flashbacks at all. I get a good feeling when i watch them and it was fun to watch. It was good to see things from Kurama's viewpoint allthough we probably knew his view already.

Not sure if you are a manga reader or not, but that jutsu is actually a pretty legendary jutsu. Explain why only a select few people can actually do it? Anyways him gaining that jutsu in season 1 does not justify him being weak, he claimed that jutsu and learned it, but the third was correct, it is a powerful jutsu and he's used it in so many ways to take down his enemies.

Naruto might not have alot of variety when it comes to techniques like some other characters to, personally i think he should have some more skills but thats kind of how all MC's arn't they? I mean look at ichigo, luffy, same thing, they all have different incarnations of the same ability.

We had a chance to watch what happened all those years in Kyuubi's perspective.

I was excited, I really thought they were going to do something cool seeing as it was a special of sorts. They wasted our time with very little new and a hell of a lot of flashbacks. I should never expect anything from this show these days.

It was interesting to see things from Kurama's perspective, but it was a pretty boring episode. Getting tired of the flashback fests. Also funny how we see Jiraiya flashbacks so much that it's like he never died since he's in every other episode...

Lots of flashbacks but still a nice episode.
It's understandable why Bijuu's don't trust humans nor jinchuuriikis.
It was interesting to know that, by giving Naruto some of his power, Kyuubi's intentition was not only to destroy things, but mainly to plot his escape in the future.

Next episode seems a little better *.*

I actually liked this episode even though it's mostly flashbacks because it reminded me that Naruto could really have ended up "evil" like Sasuke. The only difference between these two is that Naruto had Iruka, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Minato and Kushina, Bee and a few others to stop him everytime before he screws up big time.

Who did Sasuke have? Itachi's one sentence, "You're too weak because you don't have enough hate." Oh wait he also had Orochimaru and masked Madara. Awesome.

Bruh that was just bad. I was expecting more of Son Goku and Naruto's conversation.

The recap/flashbacks were just boring.
