Kamina wasn't brought back to life though, and the believe in me shit only lasted 27 episodes so it didn't get annoying (for me at least).



I still like Naruto Shippuden though, but it would have been better if the decisions Pain took were a bit more final instead of him reversing all the harm he caused.

Not as good as the last episode, still a somewhat interesting dialogue and a believable change of character on part of Nagato, or more like, a return to his origins.

Despite the fact that it felt there was a bit of repetition (in terms of lines that were said... three times...), a lot of talking, and not much story-telling nor action, I really liked the episode.

From the looks of the preview... Kakashi is alive!? I had a feeling Nagato's jutsu was some jutsu that would bring some of the people he killed back to life, since Konan said something about it having to do with life and death...

I'm not going to like what happens next, but this was better than how the manga presented it, at least here we can understand a little more of why Pain decides to:

sorry, I just couldn't help but laugh (b/c i know in the back of our minds all of us think this)


LOL! This.XDD

But still, I kinda like this kind of solution bc in most of shounen anime it's always VIOLENCE that solves everything eventually. This is sth different for a change, even though it can be retarded at times and too repetitve in this show.

Not sure how I feel about Nagato being persuaded like that. Considering what he has been through, it is hard for me to imagine him changing just because of what Naruto said. Naruto has felt pain, yes, but I feel like his pain and Nagato's are very different. I just felt as though Pain absolutely believed in his ideal so this really just didn't add up to me. I think the book being forced into the story was pretty bad writing as well.

Still, this episode appealed to my sentimental side so I kind of enjoyed it.

It is all connected. Jiraiya and his students, the book, the main character of that book which is Naruto. Damn, this is why I think Kishimoto is amazing.
Nagato's realization gave me goosebumps.

I had forgotten how this talk no jutsu scenario played out. Really, the way it all connects together between Nagato, Jiraiya and Naruto is exactly why this is one of my favorite moments in the series.

I gues you dropped the series here,that's a shame,yours were one of the few comments I actually enjoyed reading while rewatching the series ,most people here just complain about the pace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol okay.
You dun killed all these people. Konoha is destroyed-- like, look. Sorry but it's too late to turn back now. Either keep killin' or be beat down.
And I see the whole oh he controls life and death thing-- like yeah whatever it sounds like he'll be able to bring folks back. But nah. It's too late.

yea nagato convinced by naruto's world, so obvious though naruto didn't really have an answer besides "BELIEVE IT!".
it still better though than other shounen that brings peace in fight.
and i also believe that it took kishimoto really headache to think on good answer for naruto, i remember this "pain story arc" being couple of episodes in the manga, kishimoto probably needed some time 'till he got this ver, and probably it was better than leave naruto without convincing pain.

and yeah now pain is capable to bring everyone from death, how convenience.

so this is the infamous Naruto's talk no jutsu? this episode's full of discussion abt jiraiya's book. naruto should have mentioned his surname so that nagato would be relieved that he's his distant relative

Damn the OST was kinda sad ngl.

Well Nagato would ofcourse yield to Naruto but I didn't expect him to revive everyone. Will Jiraiya be revived too?

Nagato was just a broken hero. RIP :'(

Naruto looks out of place with all this "It's my ninja way!" comparing it to Nagato's backstory and tough past, yet it's kinda heartwarming to see all his naivety after all previous events. I mean, if Naruto was seinen... I believe it would be really powerful discussion and more serious scene.

Thank God it wasn't a long talk because the moment another flashback appeared, I couldn't suppress a groan, thinking it might be another drama of Naruto! I'm glad it's just simple words but it hit Nagato hard.

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

Ep. 169.172.173.174 (skipping filler)

I'm already more attached to this villian than any from bleach. Not to compare the two, bleach is my fav but it never had a villian like this. A villian I ended up sympathizing for. I'm not sure if I'd make the same decisions as pain but I can definitely see why he done what he done. When the flashbacks started, I figured oh well another typical shonen villian backstory... but it wasnt typical at all. It might actually be my favourite of any villian in manga. That, along with Naruto himself getting through to pain, on an ideology level is just insane to me. What a character naruto is. I haven't even mentioned the book jiraya wrote about Nagato. Tale of Naruto Uzumaki, oh my god. What a masterpiece. They mentioned it many times, even revealing both of narutos parents and the way he came to be named through a flashback with jiraya... it's all tied together so well. They made it make sense. The icing on the cake at the end when naruto pulled out the book and said the quote infront of nagato, I got chills down my spine.
