WOOT!!!

Finnaly, the first good episode in Shippuuden.
Shippuuden sucked big ass until now, glad that finally a good episode came across.

Gai was cool in the other eps though, and he finished it here. Just awesome <3

And the Oodama Rasengan kicked ass >:3

I hope they will keep Naruto S. on this level, or maybe I still have to put in on my 'dropped' list. v.v

I'm just sick of having episodes where pretty much nothing happens. Like last episode. It made no progress in the story at all!!! At least this one made some.

more action at least.

gai is still as dense as everrr. for some reason the battles seemed to have taken longer in the manga than they did in the anime.

There's something I don't understand. Rock Lee can't use chakra, right? And if you want to stand/sit on water, you need to focus chakra on your feet. How is Rock Lee able to sit on water?

he can use chakra, he just doesn't have any talent for genjutsu or ninjutsu. the releasing of the gates is releasing chakra, so obviously he can mold it or whatever.

I dont think he is dense. He might be smarter than everyone else. Think about it, He said he didnt know who it was that he was fighting. That is because he didnt. It was just an illusion to look like the other guy, maybe he kinda realized that.

Yeah that's what I think as well... I mean his countless encounters with kakashi must have paid off a little at the very least....right? :P

At least there were decent fight scenes in this episode.
However the ending was a bit different. Good to know Akatsuki can't be beat easily.

I knew they were gonna get trolled at the end, i mean episode 15 is far to early for these guys to be getting their butts kicked. Still pretty cool episode and start to the season.

Yeah, this wasn't bad at all. I like all the hints throughout the battle that something was amiss. Like, for example, Guy not recognizing the guy and Kakashi saying something was wrong. I REALLY was hoping Sakura would do something though. She is far to powerful to just be a support fighter. I mean, she can knock down TREES like it's nothing.

for some reason the pacing, music, and action don't seem to mesh together as well as the first series...

the battles don't seem as hype...

i don't think that it's cus it's slow either. a lot of the battles in the original naruto were slow, but were still really exciting. in shippuden, so far the battles haven't been that exciting in comparison :/

I really loved those first six minutes. Itachi's genjustu seriously showed us how much pressure Naruto has really been under for all this time, and he's still staying strong and fighting through it. Naruto has always been an interesting character to watch, but I have a lot more respect for him in Shippuuden.

I expected way more tbh... Something to make the Rasengan more ninja-like for example, not just a "giant" Rasengan. Lame.

for a moment i thought that resnegan going to be "that" resengan so it confuse me a little because it was too early for that, but it was only the okama rasengan...

i foresaw that twist at the end couple of episodes ago (when we saw that itachi and kunama still at that cave) but it still was surprising.

and of course this was best episode so far, if i'm not mistaken we have here 3chp episode and not 2, people should learn 2chp episode in shounen is still slow pace, and now that we have 3chp people still complaining?

and the "i don't know that guy" has resolved finally xD

Giant Rasengan? C'mon I was expecting something like a flying Rasengan lol. Well that's a surprise that they used some 'take over body' jutsu.

Also Itachi smiled when Naruto hit him with his Giant Rasengan. Looks like a small hint to something that might add up later on.

I don't think it's he can't use chakra, cuz what the inner gates do is supply great amounts of chakra. I think it's just that he cannot manipulate his chakra to perform ninjutsu or genjutsu.

Giant rasengan looks amazing but it is still lame that you need help of shadow clones for rasengan. So the akatsuki used Yura as a body double and Guy sensei, doesn't know kisame afterall.
