I was expecting this episode to be bad, but not THIS bad, I mean those flashbacks took up more than half of the episode. At least that omake at the end was funny.

Well, considering how Naruto usually goes and how nice the last episodes were we had this coming.... still, it is not a good sign to have more original frames on the omake than the whole episode that just went by ¬¬

Don't even have much to talk about this one since NOTHING happened, as in the whole episode was aired last week during the preview. One thing I did get from this episode thought, my suspicion about Sakura's and Karin's mental disabilities grew stronger, they definitely could use some strong medication to treat that.

*ps: Sakura REALLY likes to cry Oo

I was also disappointed with this episode. I could see the meaning of adding flashbacks once and a while because the series is so long. But we all could have done with less than half of those flashbacks to understand that sakura's love was only superficial. 1/5 for me.

There are good stuff on the way, so I can't wait for the future episodes.

Dude, think about people that haven't read the manga, you'll spoil it for them. :(

Anyways, ugh episode, great for people that never watched the original series, terrible for everyone else.

At least they gave us an omake to try to make up for it, I think I enjoyed that more than the rest of the episode put together!

And surely not fillers? I mean, the manga is far enough ahead that they dont need to worry about that for a while surely? Surely?

Bah!

I don't quite know what's more annoying...
- a lousy, ill fitting filler
- a flashback of scenes I'm sure all viewers have seen before
Nothing but time kills; I understand there needs to be a date difference between the anime and manga, yet there is such thing as being over-zealous; the anime production feeds to relaz a bit.

Sakura trying to play manipulative girl yet again isn't a good thing; it failed with Naruto and as for Sasuke; he didn't allow her to tag along with him the first time she suggested doing so.

What's with the 'damzels in destress' being rescued by male character, automatically boosting that male to 'love interest'. Now, Naruto has woken up (convenient).

Nothing special this week, however, next week can only get better.

When I'm watching these flashbacks I can really see the character progression and I realize how much thought has gone into the story. Sure, the pace gets a little bit slower but I enjoyed this episode very much.

It's a bit obvious that Sakura is planning something which isn't joining Sasuke since she mentioned several times that she would take care of him.
The question is will Sasuke fall for it and what will happen if he does.
My suspicion is that he wont fall for it judging from his recent character and i think we will see Sasuke and Sakura fighting in the near future.

I usually don't mind flashbacks, but when their about Sakura and take more than half the episode, it does get annoying. Sakura is just stupid and a waste of freaking time for me. Although it did made me realize how much Sasuke has changed and how much downhill he's gone. Seriously, going against your own teammate is just wrong. As for Sakura, does she really think she can beat Sasuke alone....she's just too stupid sometimes. The next episode looks better...hopefully. I still love Naruto, but this is killing me.

Byakugan! That was funny.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Lets hope next ep will be full of action and no flashbacks. Ohh wait, its Naruto x Sakura X Sasuke episode. This is bound to be 80% flashbacks. It wont be a battle about "whos epic enough" it will be a battle of "who got most treasurable memmories".

GODDESS I LOATHE SAKURA. Does anyone actually enjoy watching this useless bitch? One of the best parts of Shippuden is cutting her mostly out the series, after unnecessarily giving her a cool fight at the start. I keep hoping Kishimoto will kill the stupid load but instead he gives us Sakura-intensive flashback shit heaps like this episode. I wish Sasuke would slaughter the useless pink-haired slut out of hand, Chidori her to a thousand pieces or burn her to cinders with Amaterasu, and then everyone could remark on how they never liked the stupid bitch anyway and never mention her again.

Seriously, is she popular in Japan, or what? All the fan reaction in the US I've seen to Sakura has been overwhelmingly negative. I can't believe Kishi would keep shoving the same unlikeable useless cunt down our throats unless SOMEONE was demanding more of her.

1/5, there was maybe 5 minutes of actually interesting content, the rest was Sakura whining to herself and having flashbacks. If only she'd ran blindly through a neck-high tripwire while she was in the middle of one ...

Sakura-chan, say what?!!! All these years watching Naruto and Naruto: Shippuuden, I don't really have anything against Sakura but after her last line for this episode, somehow I find myself in agreement to what Sasuke said to her when he left Konoha; SHE'S FRICKIN' ANNOYING! XP

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

1st:
It's not filler. If you would read manga to at least point where anime is you would knew that. But I'm finding this waste of episodes, so many flashbacks recently... And now Sakura's boring thoughts.. We heard all of it about 10 episodes ago w/o flashbacks ffs

2nd:
Sakura came in worst moment. Couldn't she appear 10 sec later? Karin issue would be solved this way >.<

3rd:
I love this "Byakugan!" *Sigh* "Yeah right, like I can use that." xD Usually I dont watch next episode preview but it was a lot of remaining time in episode so I checked it ;q

I get the feeling that when people are referring to this episode as 'filler' they're referring to padding it out with excessive flashbacks, not the more common application of the term meaning 'non-manga material'.

Naruto's "Byakugan!" was hillarious, even with Sakura sucking up MORE screentime behind him (beating up more interesting characters as usual). While I'm sure Kishi will never do us the satisfaction of killing her off, I hope Sakura will be suffering a lot during this World War (and preferably doing as much of it off-screen as possible).

How about stop being stupid yourself before calling others stupid. Kishimoto writes the manga and those flashbacks are nothing but anime only fillers put there to kill time so the anime will have slower rhythm and not reach the manga very fast. Kishimito didn't give you any flashbacks at all. They don't really exist in the story.

This was a pretty bad stall attempt. The fashbacks were cool, but it filled the ep. We need more progression at this point. Sakura is still weak now like she was back then. I hate her all over again.

Kishimito didn't give you any flashbacks at all. They don't really exist in the story.
Unless Kishimoto has 0% to do with the anime production (unlikely, he's the creator), I'm pretty sure he has a decent idea of where the animators are going to throw flashbacks padding things out. I'm sure that when he drew the manga of Sakura running through the forest, thinking to herself and being stupid, he figured that would probably be a likely place to pad with flashbacks (he probably even had a few one-frame flashbacks for likely scenes, I've seen him do that in the manga). Surely he watches his own show and knows how much they looove to recycle footage.

Secondly, idiot, I called no one stupid except Sakura, who's a fictional character (and you, now). Improve your reading comprehension before you criticize others' comments. 'Kill the stupid load'=write Sakura out of the story (preferably via dying, but leaving far away works too).

Third, whether it's Kishimoto or the anime producer making the decisions, flashback episodes still suck, Sakura-centric ones doubly so.

Haha so true!

This episode make me thing sakura is really stupid. She like sasuke's cool attitude and looks, and not even once thing of what kind of person he is? Got to be kidding me.
And sasuke is definately not falling for sakura's "Take me with you. Let's desert konoha together" shit. Once again it happen, just like sakura's sudden confession to naruto out of nowhere.

Her plan is probably just to test if Sasuke really become that bad a person, then kill him. Dream on man....

Sure you mean Sasori : )--- but I never liked that fight. When you think about all the people Sasori beaten or could beat, I just found it BS that Sakura and Chiyo managed to overcome the iron sand, darts and missles, being lethally poisoned, fire and water blasts, and 100 puppets. Sakura obviously had the power of plot kai on her side : )
