| Yeah, I enjoyed this episode more in anime form than in manga. :) |
| OMG I shed a tear... Never thought Naruto would make me cry... |
     |
| the Best part of Naruto ever!!!' I cried till the end of the episode!! *soo touched* |
 ] |
| I really enjoyed the past few episodes they where all so good really nice story to hear and we finally know about Naruto's parent's past and there decision. It was really touching to watch and it was amazing. Naruto would have been in good care with his parents and he could have learned allot from them. |
| I actually teared a little :') Awesome episodes |
 |
| Shed a tear when Minato sayed: "I am proud to die for my son. It's a father's duty." |
| あらあら。。。 |
| epicness... this episode shows just how awesome this show is... |
| The most epic and touching episode ever! It was worth watching the previous 468 episodes over the years (^_^,) |
 |
| speechless in front of the most epic episode. (it will be the topic with the most use of 'epic') i shared a tear too. and animation of Kyubi destroing Konoha was awsome^^' |
| I broke down crying. Like crazy. One of the best episodes of Naruto. Period. <3 5/5 <3 |
| I was looking forward to seeing this bit animated and it didn't disappoint. Ahhh...what a flashback should be. Telling new backstory, rather than just recapping episodes from 3 months back! It was cool to see both Minato and Hiruzen in action too! |
 |
| Amazing episode hands down. I was touched and it answered some questions I still had in my head. Very well done ^^ |
 |
| wow this episode was amazing! we finally find out what happened to naruto's parents! i've always wondered about that.. all those kids should be ashamed for teasing him about not having parents, not having anyone who would love him and care for him -.-" and naturally i had watery eyes during this one >.< |
| That was really sad end for his parents. |
 |
| "Your nagging mother..." Had trouble holding back tears. |
     |
| Such a sentimental episode, I shed a tear towards the end. I waited through all the BS fillers to watch this, definitely worth the wait. |
| Dafaq? Who is this person who disliked this episode? That person should be exiled from here!!! This one was really great. The whole meaning of Naruto was in it. Parents love, continuation of parents dreams onto a child, stay away from Jiraiya-sensei. :D Worth every minute I watched. Now I'm glad I forgot to watch episodes since filers ended. I watched it all in one go. :D Minato vs "Madara" fight was really great. And the way he beat him. This just showed the effort mangaka made in this part. Plus I skipped this part while reading manga and began somewhere in The Fourth Great War. Now I'm glad I've done it!!! And I'm gonna still enjoy later episodes!!! :D OSU!!! |
| It is rare that I cry over any anime but this episode was just that good! Utterly sad when Naruto's parents were saying their final words to him. Minato & Kushina both sacrificed themselves to save the village but more importantly they wanted to give Naruto the means to protect both himself and the village in the future. I think this episode had one of the best back stories I've ever seen on any anime. 5/5. |
| Hey awesome, i wasn't the only one who cried... T_T I love Naruto's parents~~~!!! |
 |

| I thought I would manage but the part where Kushina started telling Naruto to not be pick and eat lots of vegetables was too much. And the part about Jiraiya was such a nice touch. Such a beautiful episode. T.T |
| ... Really, guys? I cry during EVERYTHING and I couldn't give a shit during this episode. I did accidentally watch it before 248 (so it skipped all the cool fights and went to the emotional fallout, which i don't care about because I HATE Naruto's folks), but it still would have gone overlong even if it'd been in the right order. Some cool moments but overall I was most displeased with this entire sequence of episodes, lifted straight from the manga or not. *holds up umbrella to fend off the dung that will no doubt get flung at him for having a different opinion* |
| Naruto's parents are hands-down the most best characters this series has, and they've BEEN the best since they were introduced. It's so sad looking at all the fan-art of Naruto and them all happy D:, I just wish they were alive so that kind of stuff could've been real. |

CanzonE said: OMG I shed a tear... Never thought Naruto would make me cry... Exectly the same here. I never thought Naruto would make me cry. Rianri said: I didn't cry because I was not alone. I had to pause so many times to hold back my tears >_< I wish I had watched this alone, I'm sure I'd have cried my heart out like never before T_T This shall be a lesson to you! Never watch anime if you are not alone! Vatra_Wolf said: Dafaq? Who is this person who disliked this episode? That person should be exiled from here!!! Agreed. He must be a fan of a rival anime. I'm also a One Piece fan, but I don't find it ethical to give the lowest rate for a decent episode like this. A normal human who likes watching to anime cannot dislike an episode like this. |

| Damn! I'm so moved that ... Nakitai!! T_T Since Code Geass's special nothing has made me feel this moved till now. I guess if anyone wants to get a feeling for characters, they'll have to come to Naruto, especially when someone dies. Absolutely, 5/5! Hell, I might actually re-watch this 2-3 times till I'm satisfied with this mixture of epicness and emotional special. This time, I might actually cry ... BEST two episodes EVER!! (On a side note: What the hell? Next ep seems like a 80-95% filler to me with so little like 5%-20% original material -.-") Anyways, I'm really glad that those two episodes aired at the same time!! It would have been the nastiest cliffhanger ever, if it were to happen. I guess everyone here agrees with me, right? xD Jaa~ |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |

I'm also a One Piece fan, but I don't find it ethical to give the lowest rate for a decent episode like this. A normal human who likes watching to anime cannot dislike an episode like this. Such open-mindedness! It couldn't be at all that someone might dislike the excrutiating long-windedness of the death speeches, or find the characterization rote and/or annoying? Certainly, they must be the most inhuman of monsters, below even Madara in morality, to dislike something that everyone bawled 'manly' tears over! Sheesh ... 'unethical' to have a differing opinion? Bit extreme aren't we? |
| damn i know everyone has already said this but HOLY CRAP didnt think naruto would EVER in a milliion bagillion years make me cry. such a beautiful episode. best of naruto ever. 50000000000000000/5 for this ep |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| So... This is it... 446 episodes, then they explain this. Pretty nice timing. Flashback all the way to episode 1. The story is very touching... T.T |
| uhh... |
| i knew this ep would be so epic sad! i was so drawn by the ep until the moment my tears drop...i was like wtf! XD even the ppl with heart of steel would at least wet his eyes fromm this ep... 6/5~ |
 |
| Damn Naruto is inconsistent as a anime. Sometimes during half year filler or otherwise boring story arc I wonder why I really keep up with this anime. Then you get episodes like these that make it totally worth it. Really amazing double episode. Made me shed many manly tears. Is is just me or are these ''past'' episodes always almost the best episodes in Naruto (Kakashi, Itachi, this...etc)? |
 |
| Easily the best flashback in Naruto. |
 |
| next one will be focused on Gai. Not the thing I expected for episode 250. Minato doubts about the masked Uchiha not being Madara intrigues me as well. |
| It sure WAS an awesome special but still... you'd think they would be a little bit better prepared for a kyuubi attack, I mean even without madara the seal on kushina could have still broken during her birthgiving. When kyuubi attacked Konoha they didn't have that fast reaction time imo ^^ |
| 9.9/10. looking forward for more deep episodes like this one! (I still hate that bouncy opening.) |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Great Episode I was always wondering what went down with the Fourth Hokage and he was amazing. I also got something from the episode it seemed like the Fourth Hokage could have lived but if he did Naruto would have never have gotten to talk to his mother. |
| Brang a tear to my eye :P |
| That was the best Naruto episode I've ever seen since... I don't know when.... |
