| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Fillers are finally over!!! We can finally go back to the canon story! They better do well on animating the Kage fights. |

| I don't care what anyone says, that was a good mini-arc, filler or not. Sure the kids were annoying at times, but the animation quality and fight scenes more than made up for it. Naruto's nine-tailed, susanoo-like form was cool too. 5/5 for me. Back to canon, back to lower quality animation. |
 |
| It was fine, but all the incest scenes made me very uncomfortable... |
| A question: Is this episode a filler? I didn't watch it yet, and since I'm on a strict no-fillers-watched policy I'll skip this episode as well if it's a filler. And no, I don't care if it's really good and I'm an idiot for not watching it, there's a reason I'm not watching any fillers in ANY show I watch at all anymore. I also won't argue if fillers are good or bad, I just want to know if this episode was filler. I also apologize for my last few non-sensical sentences, but there're some guys out here who like to argue about fillers, whether good or bad, and I'm not interested in that. Thank you :) |
In my opinion, This was the worst episode on the Chikara Arc. But overall I liked the story and animation of the arc. You could see a drastic difference in the animation quality in the preview and the episode it's self. Those hills and ground looked bad in the preview |

| I think it was a nice story on how Naruto got his appearance. Ever since the manga, I always wondered how he came to that appearance. |
 |
| Awesome episode for me. It's fitting for a finale of an arc. Now, we can go back to cannon, finally (+_+) |
 |
ohhey said: Axeluzz said: It was fine, but all the incest scenes made me very uncomfortable... Did I miss something while watching these episodes? Where was there any incest in the Chikara episodes? I'm sure that you meant Dokku and Shiseru. They called themselves brother and sister since they were kids but they were in fact not related to each other. So it isn't incest. |
| Damn finally, i don't know how much longer i could of went with out my weekly naruto fix. Were back folks and into the new year, starting canon next week. Yes this arc really had exceptional quality in both visuals, production and i thought even the script was well directed. I tried to get a few of my friends to just check it out but they are the kind of "won't watch filler ever no matter what it is attitude" finally when one of my friends came over my house. I told him to sit your ass down on this couch and watch. I hooked it up so he could watch on my HD TV. I shown him the episode were guy and lee were fighting. He was like god dammit why didn't you show me this earlier? :sigh: i tried numskull but your always in your "filler is bad routine mood" anyways was kind of funny, moments ago he was blatantly insulting it just because it was filler and then later going on and on bout how great it was and that he's never seen naruto like that before. lol I sound like a little kid but it was quite hilarious. Maybe he might be more inclined to watch more filler now and not just think its horrible just for the sake of it being filler. |

| Holy crap! I love this filler! They showed everyone Naruto's transformation... that was so cool. :D Sent with Mal Updater |
| Well, well, it looks like this Chikara arc has finally ended. Inb4 marriage ceremony. Shame, there weren't my revived Akatsuki members in the fights but some of the parts were still exciting. Dat demon fox:  I see some badass kages in the next episode. This should be fun. |

They better make "that thing"'s appearance and owning episode good, not another Pein v Naruto art. |
 |
| Think that was a pretty decent filler arc, at least I enjoyed it :P and this Candor said: I was impressed by the animation, and hopefully they'll keep the quality for the rest of the series. |
 |
| I actually loved the Chikara arc. Call it filler if you want, it was actually a miniseries to celebrate 500 episodes of Naruto (if you're counting the original series). I do agree that it was a bit biased that they spent their animation budget on the miniseries rather than the actual canon episodes. I wished Naruto looked this good on a consistent basis. The Chikara series was on par from what you would expect from a Naruto movie.. both in terms of animation and original story. I don't usually bother with fillers, but this is an exception.. I felt it was very well done. |

| Damn great episode, and this was one great little mini filler arc, enjoyed every episode of it. Glad to see canon back, and by the preview, looks like everyone will get a little screen time in the next one. |
 |
| Really enjoyed that! The most startling thing about this arc for me was Mimas hair. The subtle use of CG introduced in this arc for the most part worked really well and it was with her that I thought it was the most striking. Fun little aside all told. Looking forward to the war again, but if fillers keep to that level then I won't mind the interruptions in future! |
 |
| OHHH NARUTO I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. WHY'RE YOU SO COOL |
 |
| Finally fillers are over! I highly disliked this filler arc besides the good animation they had in a few episodes. Now we can continue with the main story. Also the beginning of this episode had some epic background music. |
| Well, this filler is better than the previous fillers that's for sure. At last the finally filler end, can't wait for the Kage fight and the man who should not be named shall be revived and kick some major asses. |
 |
KaiserNazrin said: the man who should not be named shall be revived and kick some major asses. Sounds like Voldemo..... oops, I mean, You-Know-Who. |
|
| Great filler Arc. The ending felt rushed but I enjoyed it overall. Since we're back to the main story next week hopefully they will keep the same animation quality as the filler arc had. |
 |
| Amazing filler. Loved it! The animations were amazing all the way through, the story wasn't amazing, but it was really good. The music, you know, the new one fitting the humming of the little girl, it's REALLY good! With the piano or something like that! :) Gotta admit that the last second save was pretty cliche, but amazing at the same time! |
| Who ever actually watched this episode, its actually a little bit of a spoiler for what ever happens later on in the manga. I guess kishimoto wanted to tease us a little bit. But this was clearly a larger budget film that was probably scrapped and instead used as a special of episodes for the celebration of the 500th episode. I feel sorry for all those fools who have that attitude against fillers, this is just really something you don't want to miss, it has had the most detailed and greatest animation in the entire show that has been animated so far and that says alot right their, so why would you wan't to turn it down? The music was outstanding and it even has its own original piece of music that was used mixed with the old which really transitioned well into the 6 episodes. The one thing if i ever had to put a con for this arc, i feel as though they could of focused more on closure of kabuto and what his plans were, such as going to war, ec. Instead of just kind of ending it right their, but over all this arc was definitely the best filler arc that ive ever seen in naruto. |

| I personnaly liked these fillers, It seemed like a Naruto Movie of some sorts, in my opinion. :) From the Animation to the little non-canon story, Good action scenes, Romantic scenes, And such. Well all that to say, In my opinion, It was a good filler. Now let's get back to the War, Canon time babe! Oh yeah! :) |
 For some Reason, The Signature Doesn't Update, So just click to see. |
| Now back to mediocre animation. Yaaaaay |
| It's a pity that it's over. These were a good fillers. Now everything returns to events from manga :) |

| Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode shouldn't have been shown - that transformation doesn't appear until later than the time frame this was set in and at this current point in time it's merely a deus ex machina. Filler or not, I'm disappointed. The relationship between Dokku and Shiseru was awkward and uncomfortable to watch as well - even if they aren't blood related, it still comes off as incestuous to me. Miina's cuteness and special ability in regards to Naruto is the only thing which got me through this set of episodes. |
HimenaJan 11, 2013 2:01 PM
The Onions Probably one of the best naruto fillers evar. |
| Filler finally over. Liked the fight animations , but the story could be better =\ Let's go back to the Ninja War =) |
| Hey guys, i havent watched NS since the Two Suns Episode. Did I miss anything important in the Original Story? |
| Ah. Finally back to CanonLand. I'll actually be watching the next episode on time. o: |
  |
| Can somebody explain to me the whole point of Sakura healing Sai? ...yenno..before I shoot myself. |
Pinkette said: Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode shouldn't have been shown - that transformation doesn't appear until later than the time frame this was set in and at this current point in time it's merely a deus ex machina. Nine tails chakra mode has already been shown in the anime. I know what your referring to though. It was not even close to what kishimoto drew in the manga, so not to worry. I am sure people will be plenty surprised to see his next transformation when it comes up. This was more like an altered beta version i guess you can say of the kyubii chakra mode. Your thinking of These have to be the coolest screen shots ever, i am going to have to shrink this down to size and use it for my avatar. |

| Wow for a filler arc all those screens look awesome |
| End Zionazism |
| i really liked the filler. 5/5 |
| To me this wasn't a filler arc, this was a new Naruto movie that they decided to not air in theaters and split it up over 6 episodes. The quality was too damn good to be anything otherwise. That said, I haven't enjoyed a non-canon story in a long time, it brought a smile to my face. I can't ask for anything more. |

Nagooey said: Can somebody explain to me the whole point of Sakura healing Sai? ...yenno..before I shoot myself. He was trying to use his ink ability to save Shisera, but he was apparently too wounded to use his brush...which is why he asked to be quickly healed. |
| |
| I didn't really follow the story closely in this arc but the action wasn't bad. |
