| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hm.....episode felt a little different than I had thought, more like with reused footages from one of the arcs. Oh and we see that Madara was obviously the 6th of Kabuto's reanimations but that's no surprise there. Well regarding Utakata, I guess we see a more detailed version of how he was captured by Pain which happened quite awhile ago heh. Poor guy ;.; |

| It is good to see how he was captured by Pain, which we didn't see in the arc itself. But it was a nice episode though. |
 |
| Too much filler, pretty sick of the stuff at this point. Other than that, interesting episode. Nice to see the other Jinchuriki's techniques, the former Mizukage & Roshi's were particularly cool. Aside from lots of flashbacks, next week preview looks pretty epic. |
| Ooh, they added Utakata's filler... although I wish the battles where a little bit better. They should have shown Utakata battle more in his body a bit more before transforming. Otherwise, really nice episode. Judging from the preview... it seems they are speeding things up. And that can be a little good. |

| Summary: Recap > Filler > Flashbacks > Filler flashbacks Conclusion: Episode was meant to be as dragged out as possible for reasons I don't know. Meh, it was still (surprisingly) somewhat decent. I liked Yagura's water jutsu, and the headbutt seemed to be animated better. Also, I always thought Ukataka was a decent character and think that it was somewhat good to see his battle with Pain. Next episode preview showed a Naruto vs Pain flashback and an Itachi/Kisame flashback, I pray to god that next episode isn't flashback city. |

| Naruto being dragged out is rly pissing me off... This episode was a pure filler recap from 6-tails |
O'Hai :D |
| Thank god for the preview for the next episode i thought i was going to end up in another filler saga made up of flashbacks and sentimental music |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Sigh they starting with this filler flashback thing again when will they just cancel the show or do the right thing and stop the FILLERS! |
 |
| great how they stretch chapter 564 with that flashback of the six tails's capture. this way naruto shippuuden will go on for another 200 episodes. really love that 2/5 |
| Another useless flashback >.< |
 |
| nooooooooooooo flashbacks >> |
| I actually have no complaints and this is why I prefer the anime over the manga.They actually showed how Utakata was captured and from the looks of the preview they will show the Kisame vs Roshi fight which was totally skipped. Good episode overall. |
| good beginning and end, didn't like the middle. |

| Once again I'm disappointed. Fuck those flashbacks. |
 |
| Lol another flash back why don't they just end this anime already? The only thing he needs to do now is beat Tobi, bring Sasuke back then become the hokage. Then the anime should be over, But that's about 500 fillers away. |
desiderius32 said: I'd rather wait a whole year for the manga to get ahead or something than to have to watch this filler crap. Since Nagato died, Shippuden has gone seriously downhill. You know how many times ive heard this?? If you don't like the anime, don't watch it, plan and simple. You guys complain and bitch and moan over the most ridiculous things. This episode had to use that filler content to transition what h append during the filler arc, to anime viewers, it would make no sence if they cut that out and it would be very incosistent, people would be like but "why the hell did they not mention anything bout Ukataka" so i think the studio did that very well to not forget bout that. That has some back story development in the series and they had to clear and resolve that.

I don't see how you can say its entering flashback city, by the looks of it, the next episode is moving ahead things at a pretty good pace to the manga. |

| Good episode although half of it was filler. |
 |
| Good episode we finally see what really happened during Pain vs Utakata. Because before they showed only 3 seconds and it was finish. This episode they showed it. |

Also don't expect any more big filler anytime soon besides padding out the fights, because pretty much there is nowhere coming up where filler could be inserted. |

 |
| Fight was decent, I don't mind Jinchuriki fillers so it was fine, okay episode. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
Slayer1854 said: Half of it was filler, the other half was still pretty decent. Getting to see the other half of what happened in the past is pretty nice, though. Wasn't a totally annoying filler like some of them I had no problem with this filler, it's just that I wish that half of this episode didn't have to be centered around that, it just prolongs this battle even more -_- |
 |
| Overall, the episode was okay. My biggest problem with the fillers is that the quality of the writing and animation is fairly lackluster. That being said, this episode filled in a gap that I was curious about at the time of the Utakata arc. It was also a pretty decent fight between Utakata and Pain. I can understand where everyone's complaints are coming from though. I'm sure that a large percentage of the people who watch Naruto are only watching it to get through the series. After investing so much time into the show, why would you drop it? Next week's episode looks like it is going to have a similar format as this one. Some parts real time, some parts flashback. Probably completely unnecessary flashbacks I might add. |
| People are bitching about Naruto, nothing new here. Liked this episode, looks like Naruto have reached equal terms with Kyuubi, almost how Bee and his octopus are friends, that will be interesting to see in the future. 4/5 |
 |
| Cant Believe that they would thrown in filler after the 5 months of filler we just had disappointing episode |

I think that Studio Pierrot is scared of what will happen to them once the series is over. |

| It was going really well , then they had to waste 90% of this episode on flashback i am disappointed. |

| It was alright, that better be the only filler |
 |
| people complain about filler and yet it's stuff that should have been in the manga it was stupid to skip out on all the other jinchuuriki like that when there was so much potential that said, just because someone criticizes the show doesn't mean they don't like it overall. some are just mad because what was good is not getting the treatment is deserves. the war was just bringing in all these side characters, some that could have been pretty awesome, but without any other development other than hey this guy is *insert title* he's strong! |
| Half of it was filler, but what else can we expect from Naruto? The water jutsu was so cool, reminded me of Haku... |
| I skipped Utakata filler when it first aired and I sure as hell didn't care about what actually happened to him (well, how it happened, to be more precise). But as long as episodes have SOME meaning, can't say I'll complain too much. Although, to be honest, I want the story to move after those 2-3 months. Next episode seems to be more of the same, some progress and some filler stuff. We shall see. Eltrik said: people complain about filler and yet it's stuff that should have been in the manga it was stupid to skip out on all the other jinchuuriki like that when there was so much potential You know, we've had 2 or 3 months of fillers ending I think 4 episodes ago. During those, let's say 2 months, we've had some INSANELY retarded episodes. They did introduce the team (well, they've shown it, to be more precise) that Tobi is going with. Why, just why, didn't they do backstory on all of them during those 2 months? Hell, I'd watch it without complaining a bit. It would contribute to overall story and I would partially understand they're dragging return of a canon story for a reason. They want us to know the enemy. But no, instead we get 2 months of fillers and than semi-fillers back when canon story returned. This is what pisses me off. Honestly, I do want to know all about those guys, I wanna know who they were, how they lived, what they did. It makes me interested in them, it makes me sad over what happened to them. But I don't wanna wait another 2 months on canon to progress for it. At least not if I already had to wait 2 months for it due to some pointless shit I never cared about. (and judging by the comments section, most other people as well.) Some more editing. Swordsmen of the mist. Tailed beasts hosts. Uchiha clan heroes. Best of ANBU. None. And I mean, NONE of that was completely done. We has some of swordsmen, poisoned bugs guy and that's it. That's all! Uchiha was generally viewed as one of the strongest clans in their world. Yet none of fillers dealt with their "big" heroes. Weren't they at war often? Surely someone stood up from the rest! Yet we get an episode of some crappy lovers, of that black panther guy running somewhere etc. Don't even let me get started on that whiny little bi*** connected to InoShikaCho. Yes, potential is there. Lots of potential. Lots of interesting topics and possibly interesting characters. Bug guy had a well explained backstory. That one was nice. Mist girl that got betrayed was great, it was awesome, fenomenal. Interesting, fun, sad. There were so many great opportunities to fill fillers with, yet they did none and now they're doing it when canon (finally) returned. Yes, I am angry. |

| What in the world? We just got done with fillers 2 episodes ago, what kind of fuckery is this now? Well at least they did the "I'm no one" speech from Tobi, and they did it quite nice. |

I did that for One Piece (I absolutely love the manga) because I didn't enjoy the anime, after putting in about 600 episodes investment into it. |

| Did anyone else notice when Utakata was in his second form that he had 6 tails. It is hilarious when you realize (if he is anything like Naruto) that 2 tails ago he would have developed the bones and skin before hitting the 6th and fully releasing the 6-tailed beast. |
 |
| Ugh. What a waste of an episode with Utakata's flashback. |
| Really boring episode up until the last five minutes or so. I don't watch fillers so I didn't know or care for that guy. Really a downer after last's weeks previews. |
| Anyone know the name of the guitar ost that was playing during the flashback? Its a really sad and nice piece |

A voice of reason finally that see's things from my point of view. All of you manga readers have to high expetations for all canon material, the only reason you see this is as terrible is because it was not in the manga. I agree with this guy, their is lots of characters that kishimoto could of developed upon in the narutoverse. Having a little back story that ties in with small little filler ark of ukatata is not a bad thing by any means. Had any of you never of known this was not in the manga, you would be praising this episode instead of bashing it. Its the truth, ive seen it to many times in these forums. I am a manga reader my self and honestly speaking this guy should of gotten more development, so i am spleased that they added a bit more detail to his character in this episode, also did you happen to notice the animation? Of course not cause your only focused on bitching and complaining bout filler, if its "filler" it just has to be bad. Speaking terms of filler, if it was purely a filler character i can understand your hate, but Ukutata is not a filler character, he has significance to the story of naruto (he should have more imo) but never-less he is the 6 tailed jinchuriki and its not always a bad thing to add a little more depth to a certain character that didn't get crap in the manga. I can understand how pissed off most people are from the 4 months of crap we had to go through, i guess thats why everyone is so pissed, but i just watched this episode and i thoroughly enjoyed, loved the animation, the fight with pain against ukutaka was pretty well done. If they continue this type of animation for the following episodes, we will be in for some good shit. |

Sorry I offended Naruto fanboy. |
| Thought the fillers were over :( [Rant] It was honestly great seeing the 6 paths of Pain again, till this day i still believe Kishimoto made a big mistake killing him off as he is without a doubt the best antagonist in the series, i would even put him ahead of Orochimaru. As a manga reader i can say the 'real' and 'fake' madara just don't can't hold a candle to his characterization, all Kishi does is make them powerful, have some cool jutsus, however their personality isn't really something fans can get off on, i even find most of the Akatsuki members like Deidara and Hidan more interesting. Imo the show started it's steep decline after the six paths were defeated, we were initially introduced to the fact that pain was the leader of Akatsuki at the beginning and i believe Kishi really should've left it that way.
