meh, ok episode

Seriously, this is a seriously bad spoiler. Don't click unless you've read the manga.

this is probably the only episode in the entire series so far, that I have no complaints about. it was very true to the source material, the animation was at least above average by this show's standards, and of course, Hinata appearing in a side story. can't get any better than that. :D

Not as good as the first part of the special but still pretty good. The flashbacks were annoying and the deer were really creepy.

that technique.... holy sh*t they really did it justice in the anime!

edit: Oh but I am NOT looking forward to them over extending a minor part of the story like they are about to do. An arc about the 3-Tails, are you kidding?!

Maybe they'll be smart and only have the 3 tails in one episode... Or maybe they won't. :P

Hopefully it won't be too long because they also showed clips of Orochimaru and Sasuke that looks straight from the manga.

Is the blue kyuubi eyes supposed to mean something, or did they just forget to color it red? XD

Liked it veeery much. ^^

Technique looked interesting too and that preview/spoiler thingy at the end of the episode intrigued me very much. ^^ [there where Tsunade sayed one thing about narutos new jutsu and where orochimaru appeared and some of akatsuki & stufff. ^^ coolies. 8] ]

yeah i was wondering about that too!

Overall i thought this was a pretty badass episode. It had a little too much flashback but that can be overlooked. I WANT TO SEE HIS NEW JUTSU!

Im kinda interested in the new arc even if it is filler. At least it wont be full of enemies no ones ever heard of. They'll be fighting Akatsuki so u know its gonna be good!

BTW Ino is completely useless

The episode was good- but I dont get how Hidan get to the wood which noone but Shikamaru clan members can enter in the first place...

uhm, shikamaru dragged him there with the shadow technique much? yeah....


That maybe the explanation...But for me it is a bit lame: how can noone enter the wood apart from Shikamaru clan ? The Akatsukis are superb ninja yet the will not able to enter in order to rescue Hidan ? the deer will prevent them...lol

His eyes always slit when he does any type of rasengan.

Such a cliffhanger, but I've gotten used to them.

Glad to see Hinata again (She's so cute) And I'm glad to see them bring in a filler arc, I mean I'm no fan of 80+ eps of filler, but the occasion arc isn't so bad. Then need to do something to correct the time difference in manga-anime creation time; and I'd rather see filler arcs than 40-episode-power ups. Where each episode has to recap all the aspects of what happened to lead in the battle. Then they have to recap the last episode to make sure everyone knows what exactly is going on. Then after the prolong the battle another 10 minutes then have to show a big "What's coming ahead in the next episode" while trying to inconspicuously lengthen the OP and ED.

Thirdly, I didn't really notice the animation shift because I like to focus on the subs and watch the anime with peripheral vision in order to distract myself from poor animation so I can focus on storyline and kickass battle scenes.

+1 to "Fuck yeah Shikamaru" when he pulled the Explosive strings around Hidan.

Awesome special, but it spells the end of my favorite character Hidan. I half way suspected that there would be filler surrounding the Jinchuuriki, I hope it's not too painful.

What the heck is the three tail arrival arc, it looks alot like story but I know it isn't. And why do we need constant Sauske and Hinata reminders, Shikamaru has his big moment and instead Sauske is pushed, agg.

Anyway Shikamru rocks, alot more than anyone else in this show.

goodness my! after that hilarious 85th episode they started again all those image freezing and repeating everything you've seen few eps before.
and, on top of all these, they promise us a whole bunch of fillers in near time. and they plan to fuse it with manga.
truly,make me unseen it...

its a possibility that it could show that Naruto finally has control over the kyuubi chakra a bit and won't let it take him over. He has been letting it win again and again while learning his move. I could be just over thinking this though... but i liked it a lot.

I finally caught up!!

Imo episodes 83 - 87 are some of the best in all of Naruto. I haven't been this excited to watch more since the 'Sound Five' arc in the first series. It was really well done, but it doesn't change the fact that I will be dropping Shippuuden after the next episode.

This hour special was fantastic. Shikamaru is so savage, and I'm not complaining. Team Kakashi's entrance was great. This arc was such a treat compared to the previous two.

Good shit Shikamaru, and also it's pretty cool how Naruto's eyes are like the eyes of the Nine Tails, but they are still blue showing he is still his normal self

Gonna miss Hidan, i'll presume he is dead but in Naruto you'll never know. We still have Zetsu around for taking care of bodies. I think Hidan's voice actor did a really great job.

It was gratifying to see Shikamaru finally avenged Asuma!

I hope one day Naruto doesn't need a clone to cast a rasengan.

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

Very hype, very dope...but it's annoying at the same time because something like THIS is what I expected from Naruto after training with Jiraiya for years! He's had more growth in like a week with Kakashi just giving him commentary than with Jiraiya for multiple years.

After working with Kakashi, Sasuke got an insane Taijustsu level up and learned the chidori.

After working with Kakashi, Naruto learned how to strategize with his clones, develop a sick and unique rasengan, and has a training method that only he can utilize to become exponentially stronger in little time.

After working with Jiraiya, Naruto got a bigger rasengan...
