Good episode, though they prolonged some scenes.
Did anybody else get freaked out when they just zoomed in on Orochimaru?
o_0'
It's like ,"Oh, just a rabbit?" then slowly have a view from the forest, the bam, Orochimaru.

Can't wait until the next episode, looks like things will get more interesting.

Yeah, Orochimaru caught me waaay off guard. I knew the capture mission was pretty much over at that point.
Next week's special is going to be good, I think. Though the whole "Naruto skin peeling back" doesn't look so healthy.

I know what you mean, the skin peeling off looked quite painful. But I love seeing Naruto in Kyuubi mode <3

The best episode of the "Sai" arc, glad to see it finally moving after the weeks of what felt like filler.

Set the mood perfectly for the next episode.

Wondering if anyone was hardcore enough to identify the other voices Yamato used? Probably just RANDOM voices but just wondering if anyone noticed familiar ones?

again 20 min of crap. talking, talking, talking. Could they at least trow some punches.And I taught orichimaru his body was fucked up, he could move his hands anymore after that fight with that 4th hokage guy, and was transferd in a other body.Now hes back in his own body? With Moving Hands? can somebody explain this to me..??? (Did i miss Something)

sorry for the crappy english

Can't wait for the next ep xD

@ Mediaman: Orochimaru is NOT in his own body. He's in Gennyuumaru's body. I think he used henge to look like himself or something @.@

Oh wait, wikipedia: 'While within another's body Orochimaru can assume his original face. '

Pretty good episode.

The whole Orochimaru popping out of no where in the forest kinda creeped me out as well.

The next episodes to come seem like they'll be very good.

Orochimaru was planning on taking over Sasuke's body but since his arms were sealed, he had to do an emergency transfer to another body first (This was right before Sasuke left Konoha to join with him). He then had to wait another few years (in Shippuuden's time, would probably be another few months), until he can transfer to Sasuke's body. But as the manga goes...

Followed by naked Dumbledore instead of Orochumaru lol.

But yeah don't know if i ever seen so much close ups of bridges like in the last to episodes. I think the tension between everyone way way higher in the manga too....

It's an amazing thing they can make one whole episode about 3 people on a bridge, when everything was already obvious without reading the manga.

Decent enough...

I hate how we spent a good 10-15 minutes watching people walk to their hiding spots/to the bridge...but the last 10 or so minutes more than made up for it. I'm glad to see things finally progressing.

The second that I read this part in the manga,
I'VE BEEN DYING TO SEE THIS PART ANIMATED FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!!!!!!!!

Now I wonder how many episodes it will take to get to the meat of the battle.

The preview of the next episode looked promising, but given the pace, I know than to expect more. I'll keep my expectations low, sadly enough.

Well. Thought the idea of ep discussion threads was to talk after watching the episode and unless you skipped the next ep preview, this isn't really a spoiler.

OMG, that was a killer episode! I can't believe how it turned out, i was totally shocked. And Orochimaru actually showed himself, pretty crazy...no surprise that he saw through everything, although to dispell the I can't wait to see how this will turn out. The preview was crazy! We finally get to see Naruto unleash the power of the 9 tails... Sakura could probably surprise them with her power as well. Can't wait for the 1 hour special!

So how long was Kabuto actually under Sasori's jutsu? Like did we see him at all in the original Naruto under this jutsu, or only under Orochimaru's command?
