Amazing. Great music, great animation. I always had my doubts that the studio was not going to do these epic moments justice in the anime because of the fact of how horrible it was before.

But it looks like the studio is really trying. This episode was amazing, i saw the whole battle royal against tobi in the manga, but it looked even cooler in the anime and finally we get the explanation behind his secret jutsu.

Next episode, it finally happens. TOBI UNMASKED!!

The next episode is also going to have an insane cliff hanger if it it follows the manga (or it could be the next episode), like this episode did and im not taking bout tobi unmasked either. Lots of surprises are coming.

The upcoming content was painful in the manga, but I'm sure it'll be great in the anime. I didn't particularly like the chapters that this episode was based on in the manga, but this episode was fantastic. Same goes with the Kabuto flashbacks, Pierrot really knows how to bring things to life (I mean, if Pierrot could make me care for Kabuto I'm sure they could do the same with a certain somebody).

I really liked how they were jumping from boulder to boulder in the fight scene, was epic. And anyone feeling sorry for the Gedo Statue? Shit looks painful.

Amazing episode. Fighting was top notch. Loved it.
Kakashi is brilliant character, hard not to like him.

Next episode could/should be another great one.... however, there is "but" in there. More after show catches up with it :)

The explanation of the kunai part wasn't explained much. I know how his technique works, but seeing it being animated made it so cool!

Holy shit. I am loving this. The animation for this episode is just superb especially stuff that goes through Tobi/Fake Madara. Although having the rocks floating instead of keeping on falling down removed the realism I am looking for. Oh well, it would be messy if there is falling rocks every second.

The previews have really shown a lot. Anybody who wants to keep excited for a bit more shouldn't watch it! Although, really can't wait for the revelation! It is so happening next week!

Huh, Tobi's identity is even more obvious in the Anime than it was in the Manga.

This episode was great! And the ones that follow should be even better considering how much stuff is about to happen.

After watching this episode, I think anime only viewers should get a pretty good idea who our mysterious masked man might be. Next week will reveal his true identity so stay tuned!

I don't read the manga and I knew who's behind the mask all along. Mostly the name gave it away and Kakashi's behavior in this episode pretty much confirmed it for me.

A great episode.I liked the pacing and it was filled with a lot of action.
Oh Kakashi's analysis skill is awesome.He drew a conclusion under a terrible condition and also explained his theory with some physics stuff.I do also take physics lessons ,but I couldn't even understand the situation.

I wouldn't say that, the anime is trying to keep a low profile, but yeah at the same time this is the one episode i was kind of worried bout. I remember reading these last 3 chapters in sequence together and its like kishimoto is giving it away, it kind of sucks, but oh well. Kind of takes the impact a bit away when the reveal finally happens next episode. But oh well, looking at it from a story standpoint, i don't think anyone foresaw that it would be "him" of all people.

Finally I understand how Tobi "passes thorough" objects. He just transports that part of his body to another space/time dimension. That is so cool.

I like that Kakashi and Guy take part in the fight.

Unfortunately, I accidentally got spoiled as to who Tobi was a while back, but if for whatever reason you remember a pretty forgettable episode from forever ago, it should be more obvious than, well, anything really.

Great episode by the way. No fillers and all. Loving it :)

Well going by the pacing of the manga, considering this episode adapted 3 chapters. If the next episode adapts 3 chapters as well, then yes. If it only adapts 2 or so, then no the following episode will reveal that big cliff hanger, but it would be nice if the next episode ended with the next big cliff hanger. Guess will have to wait and see.

I neither read the manga nor read on spoiler info ahead of the show I watch so I go on wild ass speculation to guess what will happen next, just like in this episode.

On top of Kakashi's amazing discovery (and very good analysis) on how the masked guy's ninjutsu works comes the dread and realization/suspicion I saw on his face why his particular transportation technique seems to have an effect on the adversary. It's the


All in all, I think this was a very good episode. Ganging up on one guy just to scratch him sounds ludicrous but as we all know the current two pain-in-the-ass antagonists here are no joke.

That is some pretty awesome theories and speculation you got going their. Though everything will be explained. It is quite an interesting history.

Great episode,

I really like how Kakashi plays a big role in this battle and Guy tags along nicely as well,
Guy probably even knows who Tobi is(even though he can't remember faces).

Action was really great and I'm starting to like Tobi more every week as an antagonist, I can't wait for the reveal, although as others pointed out, it's getting pretty obvious.

What an amazing episode can't wait for the next.
Can't believe the identity of Tobi was staring us in the face for so long yet it was so blatant our minds ignored it.
I don't read manga or anything all my info I have is due to the anime I watch nothing has been spoiled for me.
Things are climaxing fast and I am loving it.

Amazing episode! the fight scene was great as well as the scene with the nine tails. Naruto sure is growing isn't he? Well I already have someone in mind who I think Tobi is, and I'm pretty sure I'm right. Anyone could truly figure it out as long as they are willing to think about it. I hate spoiling things for myself so I tend not to think ahead, but I gave it a split second of a thought and now I'm kind of mad that the impact of the great reveal will be diminished. In any case I can't wait to see what happens and everyone else's reaction to who this guy really is!!!

I suspect it to be Madaras brother. Two Madara's on the arc would be a bit lame after all. Danzo is already death, but i think he was supose to be Tobi. Not anymore though, the Naruto makers probably changed there mind somewhere halve way. I think it's Madara's brother.

What do you guys think?
