I remember that I didn't like his whining.

They are dragging it on by doing a flashback that wasn't in the source material, goddamn it, there is the other flashback with Chouza they are going to include next episode, so why the hell make another one I couldn't even take seriously because of the "fatso" crap.

Also, if I were a non-reader, I would be so pissed, they fucking spoil Chouji's transformation and take a bit of that moment away, they did the same thing with Itachi's Susano'o back then, stop it.

I actually enjoyed the episode. It kind of made me feel bad for Choji.

Although I didn't like how they ruined a lot by using the flashback. For the non-manga readers they would think Choji would attack Asuma as soon as he called him fat.

Ah, so many feels.

I guess it wouldn't be Naruto if they didn't try to fill every conceivable moment with something filler.

I actually didn't mind the flashback, even if it wasn't in the manga.. it was interesting enough to enjoy it, especially since I really love this fight.

Chouji's transformation is gonna be beaaaast <3

This episode showed a great deal into Choji's character and why he does certain things but then again there a bit to much flashbacks.
And there is to little focus on the war.
The main problem with this war is to many fights to focus on even if they want to focus on a fight they can take out it's full potential at all.
Just like last week.

this moment in the anime is vital for choji's emotional growth, but they put too much flashback into it, as usual. :/

i loved this episode i mean in reality if you had to face your own loved ones in battle to death you will definitely have problems with that any human would the rezone choji couldn't move on because azuma was the only one who had faith in him and his hidden strength and i love flash backs it makes the audience feel the same emotion as the character does in that moment and give us a great fight to see only naruto shippuuden can do that!

Yes Choji is annoying BUT that was HEARTBREAKING!! I remember when Asuma died x_x; arrgghh and that just brought it back. I would've hoped they kinda talked more.. and he asked about his baby.. Cause everyone else got this giant reunion

I didn't mind the Choji flashbacks too much. And Shikamaru is one of my favorite characters.

I still can't get over how Chouji's headband looks like a big fat diaper on his head when he was younger. Captain underpants or some shit.

Ah well, I can understand where he's coming from though. Even when I got into fights with friends, they all turned out draws because I never wanted to hurt them.

Stop being a scared fatso, Choji.

umm i get that ino shika cho knows asuma the best bc he was their teacher but HELLO??? he is their teacher he literally thought them everything they know ??? asuma is the best qualified to take THEM down lol but anyway... still a good episode but it gets on my nerves that choji can’t understand taking down asuma would also help him in a way since i doubt he wishes to continue murdering his former coworkers... but still i love choji’s character growth

I personally really enjoyed this episode because of the focus on Choji which we don't get a lot. I didn't really mind the flashbacks.

Also loved seeing Tenten eliminate one of Kakuzu's hearts.

That fat lard Choji sucks. What a loser! Imagine being in a war where a man with a wife and newborn just got burned to ashes and you on your knees crying saying you don't want to fight...Then because the enemy called you fat you decide to fight. What a ridiculous character.

choji is seriously bad example for shinobi, he's in war and now while shinobis are killed he's pity on the enemy because they deceives him? where all the "shinobi must see through deceives" we learned?

never the less, nice episode, first time in while that flashback didn't really bothered me.

I think the choji part was good and all but aren't they dragging this fight for a bit too long? Asuma sensei is definitely one of the best personalities
