These fabrications are seriously weird, especially that Kirara.

Good thing we got to see Sarada with her Sharingan this week. I guess the arc's pacing picked up somewhat now. In regards to Shikadai, I have faith in his team. Mitsuki also reappeared again. Got a bad feeling about that Kirara...

At least they handled one of those 2 enemies. Next up is the goth girl.

Lol the end with Inojin and that little pet thing.

At least the action has been picking up in the last couple episodes, and we got some nice Ino-Shika-Cho teamwork.

Also, no matter how much sad music you put, you just can't get me to bring myself to care about Inojin's pet.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

This episode was good. Things are actually heating up. I don't think sarada and boruto are gonna handle the Kirara girl. I'm thinking mitsuki and konohamaru are going to come to the rescue.

Also the akkun part was sad af.

Don't really care about this whole arc, heck I almost forgot what happened in the last episode. But I did like Akkun, it was cute. I actually cried for its death :(

Ima say it... the new ED is DOPE AF, it had some naruto feels to it.
But Akkun's death hurt so bad; I Actually enjoyed him as a mascot, anyways

"The mind transfer jutsu takes over a person's heart" -Shikadai.

"OooKAY THEN"
So why is it not called heart transplant jutsu or something, it's a bit deftly named to use a word referring to the brain to refer to the heart -or soul; they're probably referring to the soul aspect of the heart... but this was never explained in naruto either, so...

I’m pretty sure mind transfer works on the mind instead of the heart...

i thought the Shadow Possession techniques increases rage in shadows, as shown in Naruto where Shikamaru fought Temari, and u can also use ur shadow to connect w/ ur opponent's. but how come Shikadai cant use his jutsu in a darker place??

Damn, I know that this arc has been really slow and average at times, but Akkun was one of the few moment that put a smile on my face whenever he appeared and interacted.

So his death in this episode was really sad, so much that I did actually tear up a little. Poor Inojin was really heartbroken about losing Akkun like that. D=

We already knew Ku will rebel against Ohnoki, so if you older than 9yrs you saw this coming. Konohamaru has infiltrated the village and has encountered Mitsuki, maybe they will devise a plan together that will be a 'supposed' twist. This arc sucks to be very blunt.

It's SHADOW possession jutsu ,he can't use it if there are no shadows
and obviously in the dark places there are no shadows

Sad about Akkun, but it was pretty obvious he would interfere and die in that battle from the moment he was running in the village. What was more shocking is how he learned Inojin without him saying it himself. LOL, even in his last moment he was touching him on the face. That's a new way to die. Also quite obvious that Ku would betray Oonoki. They are artificial humans, ofc do they want human hearts. ^^

Darkness ≠ shadow
He does better when there are more shadows (at sunset/sunrise when the shadows are the largest or if there are shadows in the surrounding area like the shadow of a wall or something....)
In the dark there are no shadows so he can't use his jutsu unless he finds a source of light just as shikadai did

Well we have never seen shikamaru or any member of the Nara clan fighting in the dark so maybe you just didn't think about it xD

Pretty ridiculous episode, really.

Akkun’s demise was saddening but nearly everything else was just .. ridiculous. How’d Shikadai manage to drag the Fabricated warrior all the way to the predetermined trap area? It’s honestly beyond me. Also, isn’t Inojin’s power taking over the mind so how’d he manage to take over the warriors’ heart as Shikadai later stated. Pretty lame fight too, these warriors can take down Jonins in split seconds but not these Chunins, seriously? I really hope this show picks up soon, I’m really losing all interest to catching up with it even.

I liked Akkun but it was brought into the series very well because he would have died anyway.
Btw I actually don't like Inojin but this moment made me feel with him.
