They tried really hard to make people feel sorry for the death of an useless character. >_>

Useless? i don't think that way. I see Asuma as a character who played a great role in developing others especially Shikamaru. Maybe he wasn't always on the screen but when he was I liked what I saw in him. A man who made "mistakes" in his past but understood in the end. I'll miss him... even if it's just a little.

You always post on all discussions that Asuma is useless and you're now happy that he died. LOL!

I think episode 78 was pretty good~
Shikamaru's flashbacks helped him quite a lot throughout the episode and his ability to reason and find out Hidan's weakness while using his techinique was really good! Can't wait to see Hidan after what Asuma did :)

(By the way - it says Episode 78 Discussion - so I only talked about episode 78).



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

Combined episodes again~
I'll say this again: The title of this fucking episode (78-79) is such a fucking spoiler!!
Ahhh, that opening song~ I like that song. New ending song, too.
I didn't like it back then, I still don't like it now. Why, just why. How can Asuma die just like that. I mean, his father is the 3rd Hokage, who knows many jutsu, and Asuma did like, only 3 or 4 jutsu in his battle with Hidan. Yeah, Hidan's power is really unfair......but still. What will happen to Kurenai now??
Aw man :/

Shikamaru telling Hidan "You talk too much" when he's actually the one who's spent a long time explaining.😆😆


She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

so many spoilers on the wrong discussion.

really great episode, really making you forget about the 2 first low paced arc.

not my favourite OP, but still good.
and the ED is nice too.

New op and ed.

Great episode! Shikamaru with the 200 IQ strategy!

Hidan and his satanic rituals 0_0

I don't think that Hidan is dead yet. Idk just an intuition. Kakuzu just roasting him lmao.

Aside from some pretty bad Art scenes, this episode is awesome! I quite like creating the character Hidan, like the 70s rock fans lol
And, bravo Shikamaru!

Awesome episode. Shikamaru's analysis and Asuma vs Hidan. This was a really good episode, I want to see if Hidan really died or not? Idts

A very cool chapter, with Shikamaru you can always expect good fights and strategies, the only thing I could complain about is that those other 2 ninjas don't help, they could take Hidan's weapons away, so he can't do any damage or something, but they just stand there watching.
