| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This Sasuke arc is getting more interesting now with Orochimaru appearing. The whole gang of Karin, Jugo, Suigetsu etc also returned in this. I really hope they get more screen time. Kinda surprised by the tournament-like fight in this arc. The human zombie bomb threat is still pretty relevant. |
 |
| It was great seeing what Orochimaru is doing now. I liked his reaction when Sasuke said that the girl is older than him. |
 |
| Orochimaru's next plot for immortality set. Yamato, the hell is he going to do?! XD so that was the bait, now how will he lose? a man that harvests kekkai genkai, spooky |
  |
| Lol Orochimaru and his dirty tricks, using Sasuke as bait to draw out Oyashiro. It was a pretty smart plan though. I'm actually liking this stuff so far so I'm definitely interested to see what happens next. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Orochimaru in the house, good to see him again. Nice episode, this Sasuke arc is going on smoothly. |
 |
| enjoying the arc so far..... I hope everything goes on shippuden... the more I see it the more I realise that it's not even naruto shippuden anymore |
 |
| It was smart for Orochimaru to use Sasuke as bait to lore out En Oyashiro. I'm enjoying this arc. |
 |
| Okay but Kakashi's question in the first minutes of the episode is literally me. Please Sasuke go to Konoha just a little to see Sakura haha WHY BRING ITACHI OMG LET ME CRY but I'm with Chino, go back to the village and start working on your clan Sasuke dear haha Very interesting episode, can't wait for the next one! |
| Hm... Any ideas why they changed Karin's VA? She has been voiced by Toa Yukinari in this episode for some reason. |
| Good to see Orochimaru and the other guys again, I wanted Sasuke to defeat that guy but well, the story needs to progress. |
 |
| I'd never read the light novels or even knew what they were about besides who they were centered around. I'm very pleasantly surprised by how good this arc has been so far and I hope it stays this good. |
| Glad to see Orochimaru again. Taka are back too! |
 |
| I loved the dialogue on the boat. Orochimaru using Sasuke as bait was a very nice twist. |
Albi-kun said: I loved the dialogue on the boat. Orochimaru using Sasuke as bait was a very nice twist. What twist? It was pretty obvious Sasuke was the bait. In fact, I'm kinda shocked Sasuke didn't realise it earlier. |

In fact, I'm kinda shocked Sasuke didn't realise it earlier. Well, we didn't know Orochimaru was part of the competition until the presenter mentioned him. I thought the bait would simply be a random ninja that happened to reach the final. |
| Really enjoying this arc. It's good to see post manga Shippuden can still pump out good stories and fill in the blanks that the manga didn't touch on with characters like Orochimaru and Sasuke. |
 |
| I didn't understand the whole person owns a shinobi... Like what's with the set up. Maybe the sub wasn't accurate, but after a great war, we now have corporations owning ninjas (who were probably trained at a Hidden Village) pitting them in a Colosseum... like aren't these ninjas then missing-nin or what... what kage or jounin leader would be like ah you're gonna go serve some corporation? Go ahead And these companies too... even with only a 5 year time skip... that's a big jump to start having business suit CEOs... Regardless.. still enjoyable and nice. |
| I wasn't really sure how this would turn out with last episode's so-so moment at the start, but now that the focus is on Sasuke this has my full attention. Lots of questions and speculation I had from the war were answered and implied. Since the war is over, I imagine the major nations are on better terms which leads to more discreet dealings like this behind the scenes. Something else I noticed is that the person in last episode's pre-OP intro was small like Chino. Makes me wonder if eternal loli her condition is related to this case. |
 |
| I just loved Orochimaru's shocked expression when Sasuke said Chino is older lol. He was mad because someone is trying to rival his immortality by looking even younger. Anyway, it's a fun episode. Taka, mention of Kabuto as in gaiden, Yamato, Orochimaru-sama doing what he pleases. |
 |
| Eeeeeeeh she is older than Sasuke have you seen Orochimaru's face he was like wtf huh and this Sasuke story is getting really intersting and that opening is really good |
| this sasuke arc is quite interesting .. |
 |
| This Sasuke arc is quite interesting. So that kid is actually older than Sasuke, Even Orochimaru was surprised. :o The interaction on the boat was really good, Though like Orochimaru says, Naruto probably wouldn't think of something like that. Classic Orochimaru, Using Sasuke as bait. XD |
 |
| One thing I really cant understand, why are they showing light novels in a wrong order. Shouldn't Kakashi Hiden be first. I mean even if they skip it, it doesn't make sense to show Shikamaru Hiden after Sasuke Shinden. I would say probably a typical Studio Pierrot mistake |
 |
| So Sasuke will do the whole thing alone... |
 |
| My god that 5 year old is annoying. She's probably the bad guy. |
 |
| Orochimaruuuuu never dies. |
| Lol just like Sasuke to reply to the summons with a request for independent ops so even out here Sasuke's name is known eh Hmm so Chino and her friend wants to accompany Sasuke eh well the chiefs daughter did treat them well so it makes sense that they would like to avenge her Hmm so Chino is actually than she looks eh lol but she is right in not judging someone by their appearance though Lol Chino can be quite persistent though but at the same time can act like a normal girl too lol hmm i forgot that Sasuke never actually met Yamato so this is their first meeting eh so Yamato's one of the guards guarding Orochimaru eh Yamato is one person that you can't lie to and get away with it lol Hmm the merchant of death eh kind of a apt name for a weapons trader Getting Orochimaru to help lol Lol Chino's expression after Orochi left the room though a combo of being both angry and frustrated eh lol so thats who Orochi was fetching Sasuke's old crew eh Karin's love for Sasuke is as strong as ever i see Karins arguments with Suigetsu is still as funny as ever though Hmm so thats why Sasuke is not returning to the village then the fact that its Orochimaru who tried to destroy the village countless times is the one that is trying to stop the same from happening is kind of ironic So Karbuto is now the director of a orphanage eh Quite a theory that Orochimaru has there eh insurance for something that the villagers can't stop eh hmm an island of wealth eh hmm so a market of shinobi in the form of a survival game eh so the guy that they are looking for is a collector of powerful shinobi eh Looks like Chino has deeper pain behind her eh lol putting Sasuke in as a contestant but then again this is the best way of getting to the target i guess hmm his opponent is not an easy one eh but man what a way to end that episode an explosion in that area would cause a lot of casualties A good episode actually Sasuke going to Orochimaru for help certainly was a surprise and it was nice to see not just his old gang but also Yamato as well. The concept of a arena that houses a survival game between ninjas that acts as a sort of ninja market was a interesting concept. The overall plot is pretty interesting so far |

| Orchimaru still have that evil aura , never change THIS snake |
 |
| Wish they changed Karin, Jugo, Suigetsu's look at least a little seeing as most of everyone else got a slight image change indicating that time had passed. Either way though, love the fact that they were shown in this episode and of course Orochimaru as well. Always something interesting happening with him around. xD |
 . . . . . โ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Karin still trying to get into Sasuke's pants... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| How old is she? Yamato appears. I was wondering what happened to Orochimaru after the war. Orochimaru points out that Sasuke has interesting-looking friends with him. Yes, movie/filler characters. Karin runs to her Sasuke. I like how Sasuke and Orochimaru talk about who is free and who isn't after the shit they've done. Kabuto is the director of an orphanage. Nonou would be happy. So many filler faces. LMAO at Orochimaru's reaction to Sasuke telling him about Chino's age. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Lots of rich people in a casino wearing suits? Is this Naruto Shippuden still? I bet Sasuke will just watch that human bomb explode without at least trying to save some people. |
 |
| Orochimaru, as clever as ever. these rich people is like coming from future, owning a company, a corporation, and shit. I thought in Naruto era, there's no such thing like that since their technology are still limited. |
| It seems obvious that the old loli girl and her friend are turning people into exploding zombies. I could be wrong though, but looks like they're the culprit because of how the daughter turned into one when they went into the house. |
| Yamato always just creepin' in LOLOLOL. Serious Karin is pretty smart :3 |
| i wanted to see sasuke fight that guy for at least a minute lol |
| Interesting turn of events! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It feels like the content of a Shippuden movie. I never thought I would see underground ninja tournaments run by people in suits in Naruto. |
| The animation quality for this episode's fight took a nosedive |

| I'm glad we got to see Suigetsu, Karin, and Juugo again! I'm also kinda laughing at how both Sasuke and Orochimaru were shocked at Chino's age. I bet Orochimaru's like, "I wanna experiment on her, but I'm on watch soooo... tch." XD |
| why no one wearing shinobi headband anymore? already interesting arc with oricihimaru? YAY! |
| The little girl is annoying but at least funny when she says sussy. Yamato looks weird and why would he be with orochimaru. wanted to see sasuke just put down his opponent without moving |
| Lol Yamato's monitoring Orochimaru? Orochimaru and Kabuto have turned over as new leaves. Lol I wanted to see Sasuke vs a random shinobi Yeah, now I'm definitely more wary of Chino. She disappears and an exploding human appears? Just like that? Pretty sure I figured it out. Also, her eye's size and shape look similar to the eyes Sasuke saw in the genjutsu. |
 |
| Good adaptation of good LN - so far at least |
