Hmm, Juzo reminds me a little about Kisame this episode. The old school days of Akatsuki meetings heh...

This episode details even more about Itachi's time when he first started out in Akatsuki. Think this might be first time he fought against a transformed Tailed Beast before as well. Oh poor Juzo And a more detailed version of when Itachi defeated Orochimaru as well for the first time.

Litlle plot hole. In the Creation of akatsuki Hidan joins before Orochimaru betrays the Akatsuki. But I liked the episode. Finally we discovered what happened when Guy´s father opened 8 gate. I wonder who is gonna be the edo tensei.

Lol Orochimaru was so annoying. Itachi this Itachi that. Leave the damn guy alone.

That Juzo guy was cool, Itachi was also nice with him.

Next week Deidara comes along. I wonder who did Oro summon with that Edo Tensei.

Nice episode about the early Akatsuki.
Itachi being cool as always :D

Juzo seemed like a pretty cool guy as well. Great to see Kisame again :D
The three-tails went down quite fast with Amaterasu, I expected him to be a lot stronger in that form.

Next episode looks good.

Man Orochimaru needs to know when to fuck off lol, he was acting like an over-obsessed girlfriend or something. Juzo dying was obvious, how else would Itachi end up becoming Kisame's partner. Not really a fan of Kisame's new voice, but this story will only be a couple more episodes so I can deal with it.

EDIT: I was under the assumption that Kisame would have a new VA since Tomoyuki Dan passed away a few years ago. After double checking though, it turns out that Tomoyuki Dan still voiced him in this episode. Maybe they archived his voice or something.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Nice to see Might Dai went out with a bang. And my lord, Orochimaru needs to chill that hard on he has for Itachi.

Wow. I want to see next episode of a filler. I'm really enjoying this so far since the time when everything was centered around Akatsuki was the best for me and seeing it again in early stages is interesting.

This really makes me believe that Itachi is one of the strongest shinobi , he had to die so he wouldn't kill madara you know :P

Orochimaru..Couldn't do anything with Itachi so went for Sasuke instead.. Yet got rekt by him too

I just dont want to be any plot mistakes there.. Just as someone said that Hidan joined before Orochimaru..

Damnit, why did Juzo have to die? I really liked his character as well. This arc just keeps getting better - it's the first time in ages that I've watched the new episode every week on Thursday.

I'm not sure tho if Itachi is just too strong or the Mizukage was weak. Tbh, I think Orochimaru shoulda been stronger too coz I'm pretty sure he was seen as a major villain and then easily killed by Sasuke.

Still, a great episode. 5/5.

the 3rd wasn't weak, he was caught of guard by an unstoppable visual power.

We know Dai fought them, but he took out 4 of their 7 members?! damn son

From what I remember, Hidan is the last to join Akatsuki. Of course without including Tobi.

I didn't know Orochimaru turned on him that fast, I assumed they would at least work together for one mission at least lol, still cool to see that scene animated again.

This episode was normal, I guess; Juzo was a nice guy...
It's great to see my favorite character "in action" again in these episodes, even though I prefer him as Nagato himself.

Next episode seems like a filler tbh...

We're going back to canon at episode 459 since the title is "She of the Beginning", which is also the title of manga chapter 679.

Action from Itachi and Juzo was alright. Kind of sad that juzo died so fast. It's nice to see Kisame again though.
just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

Juzo...it wasn't long, but you will be missed. This episode really reminded me of the days when Akatsuki was a terrifying, mysterious organization of cutthroat rogue ninja that made you shout "Oh shit" whenever you saw the red cloud flying on their robes.

Juzo is a good guy, poor Juzo.

Orochimaru got owned lol
thinking about that, he got owned twice, and they both from Uchiha clan as well.
talk about bad luck lol

Itachi easily put Sanbi near death state, why he didn't capture him as well?
isn't it Akatsuki goal to capture all tailed beast?
weakened Sanbi is the perfect opportunity to extract from the jinchuuriki.

The two GOAT Naruto Shipp characters: Itachi and Orochimaru. Should've just called this series "Itachi Shippuden". Author definitely blew his load on his good characters. Then we were just stuck with Naruto and boringske after that, and uselesskura.

Best episode in a hundred episodes probably. Best of the war arc.
