| By the looks of the plot this might be ending so this has to be the best Arc with nothing rush and a good adaptation from the manga.....The ending with Naruto and Sasuke better be godly... Looking forward to this... |
| So it finally started but will they be expecting there former heroes to fight them will the intelligence unit reach them in time to tell them this. Will they reach them at all. Also will Naruto be tricked long enough to avoid battle or will we get to see his new strength that he learned from Killer Bee. And how will all those who have risen fight. Really looking forward to the moment Zabusa enters battle. |

| あらあら。。。 |
| Hell yes I've been waiting forever for the war arc to finally begin and waiting to hear Gaara's freaking awesome and inspiring speech. Time for shit to get really epic now that the war has officially begun and the fights are going to start! |

As is kakashi and all of the other characters, they will all have their fights. I think this is one arc in the entire series where actually "ALL" of the characters from the show get to battle and thats pretty sweet, i mean when is the last time we have seen characters like gaara, rock lee, teten, neji, sakura, hinata, haku, zabuza actually fight? and those are just a few of them. We also get to see quite a few new characters battle. During all this action though, its not just straightforward action, kishi actually develops alot of the characters backgrounds, all well showing the action which i think is awesome, to help type up alot of loose ends in the story. |

ichigo03 said: So, I feel like Kishimoto is such a FOOL for making Gaara such a great character when Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are such HORRIBLE and detestable characters which have no realistic depth or development for that matter. Oh and yes, the animation is so fucking horrible I felt like stabbing my eyes. Nothing less to expect form Shitppuden. Define "realistic Depth" cause i have no idea what your taking bout. I can not believe that you would put naruto in that list, he is the most developed character in the whole series. Pretty much the entire story revolves around him and what happened during that nine tails attack long ago. Though i do agree about underdeveloped sakura. Kishi i think is just waiting to tell more of sasuske story's hes kind of developing the story and his characters in spades. He mentioned that next year he will focus more on sasuske and less of naruto apparently or so i heard in an interview. In any case you can be sure he is going to play some major roles in this war arc. Personally i found that the original series to be better then shipuuden because the main cast of characters who were originally introduced, revolved around them more and the story carried a more emotional depth between the characters naruto and sasuske. But it all depends on your preference. For action fans, shipuuden definitively has the edge. Their are also some great moments in the series that make you question the series at times. |

| Why can't he get Jiraiya's DNA from the blood on pain's weapons? |
| End Zionazism |
| I'm so glad Gaara came back as a major character again. He's such a boss. |

hajimata said: Haven't watched this episode yet, and glad that I did not. From what I gather from the reaction here, the animation must be awful. Skipping it. The animation isn't that bad, it goes a little off at time...but that's Naruto.. It's always like that. You shouldn't skip it. Because it's a build up for the next episode and you'll miss some good things if you do skip it. |
| Nice episode. Gaara's speech was so beautiful, I actually shed a couple of tears. Might cry more if Anko dies... |
| I feel bad for Asuma and all the other shinobi being brought back to life, that would really suck to be forced to fight your own people. The speech was amazing. Gaara is rightfully the commander. He was able to instill peace and comradeship into 80,000 shinobi. That is a feat. Well done, you rock Gaara! :D |
| gawd dat cg was horrible. c'mon put some effort drawing them! looks like they won't be wasting anytime and get straight to the point this time. i hope that during the fights they won't explain on why they do their moves. L> 1hr special. |

| Gotta love Garra. Hell even a little filler continuity was a nice touch. |
 |
| Yep nice talk, and the akatsuki did a good job pissing everyone off.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Let the war begins!!! |

Rhayve said: So, um... can anybody tell me why Haku was suddenly wearing lipstick after being revived? Pretty sure he's male, and even if not, when he/she died, there was no lipstick. O_o Well there sure are a lot of traps in the world of Naruto ;D |
 Read my manga at http://tapastic.com/series/Strawberry-Succubus |
| That was a great speech. I had to watch it 3 times in a row to accept all that awesomeness. It really had soul in it. :D |
| Epic speech. I legitimately got goosebumps, it was just so exciting. 5/5 Man, I love Garra, he is one of the most developed, believable and well written characters in Shounen anime/manga that I've read/watched. |
 |
| Gaara was simply amazing. :) |
| Epic speech from Gaara. Now...LET THE WAR BEGIN! |
 |
| this looks like itll be fun.... i hope............. .......... .. .. . |
| seeing Sasori and Deidara arguing was quite funny - oh that jokes about death when you are already dead couldn't be better!)) I liked the animation and it was quite impressive that I even had horripilation -that means I was quite excited by what I'm watching! |
 |
| Re-watching Naruto and better appreciating Gaara's character this time around, his speech resonated far more than when I first saw this. Especially when he's describing how each village shares in the pain that Akatsuki has inflicted. |
 |
| My waifu, Anko. CG Zetsu. No! Anko! Damn you, Kabuto! lol at Gaara's fangirls. The one right behind Temari is waifu material. lol at that Gaara run animation. CG army! I stopped watching Naruto weekly when this episode aired after many years (watched all the fillers afterthis tho) so I could binge watch the whole thing. Didn't think it'd take almost 5 years for this to happen and 3 years after the manga ended, but I'm not surprised. Focking fillers. |
| 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). |
| The Gaara speech the best of this beginig of war!!!! |
| I have shivers (not because of the animation though) |
 |
| Makes sense that nations wouldn't like each other. Doesn't make sense that one heartfelt speech would change all that. Welp, I guess that's shounen for you, especially Naruto lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This episode airing with all the Area 51 memes is just perfect lmao That scene from OG Naruto that's come full-circle to now legit made me tear up Glad the stupid fillers are done for now |
| So it begins! Should be great! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I like Gaara speech, especially in Ninja Storm 3 with English Dubbed, when I watch Gaara talk about pain I really cry with the current conditions. Gaara's speech at the opening of this war was truly emotional. no one is better than him when he becomes a shinobi war commander. |
 |
| Gaara's speech was epic. I like Ishida-san voice, he is a legend. |
| Something in me still wants to see the "regions" fighting between them like they did in the 3rd war. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| I thought the cg was great. This ep really got me hyped for the war |
| ~skipped fillers this episode is like the speeches in war movies, exactly as them, only that they spend entire episode on it, never the less, it was good, gaara sure knows how to unite people. and anko is long time ago is the underdog. --- i have mixed feelings about the Op, it's serious but have still the silliness of previous opening. the Ed on the other hand is masterpiece. |
