Alot of dramatic moment....entrusting their hope into youngster???For me i think the elder made the most appropriate decision for the village.but anyway,I wonder how Naruto gonna come back since the red frog being killed (I am curious that why frog has red blood split out sooo much)
....not much interesting fight.
Hope Kakashi don't lose to pain.....

Danzo killed the red frog. Damn, that bastard! >_<

And Kakashi looked freaking cool when he saved Iruka.

Can't wait for the next episode! ^_^

@suigetsu: Wow, that spoiler was just completely, utterly and totally pointless to this eps discussion... I have read the manga so I don't care but seriously, there is absolutely no need to post that here...

About the ep though. Very slow and quite boring, although I did like the whole "die konoha, die!!" part in the beginning, not so much for the flashbacks though...

Hopefully next ep will be full of fighting, pwnage and no pointless flashbacks.
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

I'm not going to be popular for stating this, yet I think Tsunade makes the worst decisions.
She doesn't think through consiquences, she's too irratic and barley has the power to do great things.
She's a medic with superstrength, yet the useless Sakura is suppose to surpass her!?

Why does it have to be the females who are an emmotional, delicate mess?

i agree 50 % only))
but anyways i wouldnt agree with the fact that naruto should attack pain or letting him in this battle.. just because she believes that doesnt mean everything will be fine...
but oh well its an anime

Not a bad episode as I thought it would be. Flashbacks were shorter than usual and weren't pointless as usual.
Also, Tsunade made kinda strange decision. Sure, healing is great, but from what intel their ninjas gathered so far, most jutsus don't work on those guys, direct combat is required. And what better direct combatant than Tsunade herself.
Facing reality, thus knowing Kakashi doesn't really stand a chance against "Pain", all I'm hoping for is that he doesn't die.
This looked to me like a sacrificial move from him. Hopefully I'm wrong, I love that guy :)


Also, if those metal rods are chakra receivers and message from Jiraiya was something like "the-real-one-is-not-amongst-them"(something like that), my assumption(never read manga) is that this guys actually receive chakra and that eye power(cant remember the name of that eye power) from real Pain who is somewhere safe controling them somehow. Time will tell.

What good fights? -lol
The anime can barely get a fight down, and when it does, it's good, but this is rare. And unfortunately, as I know you're not a manga-reader, the fights will only get stupider and more obnoxious.

Well, that's the punishment for actually having Naruto as main character :)
It's not that bad, just pretend he doesn't exist. It is not Naruto that will stop Pain, it is mysterious power that holds the world in balance... Yeah, I'm rambling, but you get the point. Aside from not liking Naruto for his idiocy, biggest problem with him is that after all this fights he's going to get through we'll probably get yet another friends speech from him. And it's going to take up whole episode.

I am more interested in what is Naruto going to gain next. This show seems to be going in circles. Enemies get stronger, Naruto gains new power, new enemies, new power. Sage mode is the ultimate, right? So what after that?
I thought about reading manga actually, but I know myself, and I know I would just skip the pages that involve Naruto talking.

Also, about the frog. Seriously, tell me you people didn't see it coming? I hope somebody brutally murders Danzo, I hate that guy.

so much nothing happened , again.
pointless flashbacks and dragged scenes, again.

and Konoha's utter incompetence and failure to response is just ludicrous!

Do you know what you are talking about?

If you havent seen the manga, don't open spoiler:


I actually do read the manga.
Still, even if I didn't, that spoiler doesn't prove me wrong.

I don't think Sakura or Tsunade are great in battle, yet Sakura is a child (like Naruto, who Tsunade is relying on), Tsunade is a middle-aged woman who has been through hardship, yet still, makes irrational dicisions; this goes back to her first appearance, when she decided to fight Orochimaru, dispite knowing she isn't a fantasic fighter and not following his progress like Jiraya did.

Naruto being in the village could spell distater, as he is Akasuki's target.

Tsunade and Sakura are overemmotional; their personalities outway their abilities.
*my opinion anyway*

Anyone think that the animation of this episode was really poor? honestly, it was really really bad~ Half the time, they were just still portraits.
Like the little flashback of Chiyo and Garaa. It was like a portrait, and when Chiyo was talking, the movement of her lips was something Conan O'brian would of done - take a picture of celebrity and "shop" a real persons mouth.

You could say, well they are saving money to pump up the animation on the later more important episodes.. But, STILL! This is Naruto we are talking about.. Are they that poor?

Onto the episode, yea~ Pretty boring, but fear not~ the good parts are coming :)
