Never really remembered it last time I saw this, but the Sound Four actually admitted to all using CS2 together at the same time to take down Raidou and Genma. Yeesh, if they did that from the beginning against Naruto's group, then this arc would have been much easier.

That would've been stupid.

@Sandai:
That would've been stupid.
But that would have been easier than "OMG, these Genin are following us! One of us needs to stay behind to stop them!" That always leads to one-on-one fights and you know how shonen usually has those end up. If they just did what they did against Raidou and Genma…well OK, there would be no arc but it would have made the Sound Four look less weak than they are.
-
They probably would have killed all of Naruto's group doing that though.

@Geg:

Yeah, Naruto's group would have died but at the same time…it just stuck out that they went all out all at once against two Jounin but underestimated the Genin.

I wouldn't say that they decided to stay behind and fight Shikamaru's team so much as some of them wanted to have fun killing them all by themselves Kidoumaru & Jirobu anyway.
@Tokoro:

All things considered Sakon,Tayuya,Jiroubu,Kidoumaru & Kimimaro pretty much had the upper hand over their respective opponents but lose under particular circumstances.

I guess no one expected some of the things that happened during they're encounters with the members of Shikamaru's team & Gaara's team
-
Well rewatching the episode after, somehow its partially the enemy's fault for "breaking apart". Jiroubou decided to stay behind and that's when the team started to break up and when it started becoming individual battles. Maybe if the Four had a way to crush the Earth Dome instead of just using Jiroubou's leeching ability it would have been over but this is shonen for you.
-
If they had an easier way of getting by Jirobu's technique not only would that had reduced Jiroubu's threat level but also Shikamaru's emphasis on working together as a team to overcome obstacles.
-
I was actually talking of the Sound Four above. Basically I imagined that if they had something that could easily crush Jiroubou's dome with them out of chakra, there would be no arc. But of the other three there, all I could imagine is Kidoumaru surrounding the dome with spiders (or using the giant spider to squish it) or Tayuya summoning the oni. Its all hypothetical, of course it has to be the way it was written to split it into one-on-one but I just imagined ways to make the Sound Four more threatening than they were portrayed by Kishi.

Question:
Do all the Boxsets have Naruto mini specials in them?
Because Disc 1 of Boxset 3 showed Naruto announcing Golden time and Naruto would go to wednsdays at 7:27 PM and said for fans to enjoy the show .
Did that really happen or was that just for the DVD -
Well tonight we mostly reach the end of continuity (at least outside a few more scenes), but I'm just more interested in how they're going to handle the "new voices" for "vegetable man", "upside-down man", "hunchback man", "big guy", "person we'll never see again", "accessory person" and "ring-eye". (at least for the first we see him but the others can just be reasoned away with "cave talk")
-
Now i am wondering about what sakura said about kakashi shirigan(Sp?).. besides Ep.26 which was just a interview episode,
Were there other episodes that told about Kakashis eye?(just tell me the numbers of the episode/s) -
oh hey look a naruto thread
There haven't really been any episodes in the anime that gives the origins for Kakashi's Sharingan.
-
There is a story behind Kakashi's Sharingan…but even now its still manga-only. One wonders why they aren't animating that but that's Pierrot logic.
In dub news...T-4 days for more continuity scenes...and one of the most infamous filler arcs ever.
-
I think there was a recent interview or presentation where a Pierrot rep said they "currently have no plans to animate it", which I guess means they won't do it unless it proves to be integral to the main story.
-
After watching the first filler arc, I don't see whats so bad. Is it that people just don't like it when Naruto is the least bit interesting? Sure it's not the best written stuff ever, average at best but it ain't worth complaining about. Plus it seems like time isn't wasted as much since they don't have to worry about adaptating.
-
The first filler with them on that mission with Jiraiya is one of the better ones, if not the best. There's some terrible stuff down the line.
-

I can't wait.

The Fuuma arc was by no means perfect (all the weird freakouts by Naruto and Sakura for one thing) but it had a lot of things that made it at least weird and entertaining enough to carry itself. (all the gender bending characters, the usage of the fake Orochimaru and Kabuto, the open-heart surgery, Arashi turning into a cross of the Hulk and Tetsuo towards the end) I say its easily better than Tea Country…but I still hear there are some good filler arcs coming (the Bikochuu, Star Country, Konoha 11, the Anko arc) as well as...well... (Mizuki, headless Naruto, infamous crap regarding Shino and Ino, the Curry of Life)...we'll take it one arc at a time.
-
Anyone notice that Sakura can lift a mast off of a boat in the first filler yet she can't even stab a hulk thing in the second filler?
-

I can't wait.
That has to be the most embarrassing expression I've seen on Shino's face other than his expression in the Narutimate Hero games whenever Naruto uses the Harem Jutsu.

Which one are you talking about? The one w/ the 2 fatsos is hilarious, probably my 3rd or 4th best I've seen (the first one is obviously the end, Fuma Arc is 2nd, this one is 3rd, and the 4th one is probably somewhere between the Ramen episode or the Lee episodes)

Amazing, you're the first to admit liking the Mizuki arc. Most people seem to just go "LOL, tiger" whenever they hear about it.
-
Wow todays filler is decent. It shows the Rookie 9 relaxin training and actually having a good time. And it showing characters that we actually like. C'mon Kishi, you can learn a thing or two from these fillers.
-
Most of that training and relaxing scene was taken out of the last chapter of Part 1 I think. It's like the last bit of canon material for over 70 episodes.
-
This is my first time watching the fillers, and it actually hasn't been bad so far.
I kind of like the big guys too.
-

Well, you killed my only reason for watchin this episode thus far. And since you know the fillers pretty well, any decent ones involving some of the better Naruto characters? (Like Shino, Gaara, Lee etc)
-
If you're looking for decent filler with Shino, try the Bikochuu arc. Other than that, you ain't getting much.
-
LOL, tiger ….............................
-
Ah fuck, forgot, this is the Rob Mizucci arc. Oughta be funny as hell
-
Yeah, the Bikouchuu arc is probably the best-written filler though there's still a lot of annoying Hinata stuff.
-
Ohh gawd
Mizuki is hillarious. He's been ROLPHING for 30 seconds straight.
-
Why did they feel the need to connect Mizuki to Orochimaru? ><
-
They didn't need to do that.
-
The real question is, why bring back Mizuki at all?
-
Cause he's a f%king tiger
But honestly, I don't understand either why they need to connect EVERY filler to Orochimaru. He can't be in the shadows of everything.. I guess he's just chillin' in his layer while Naruto goes around blowing up his summer homes, and random people try to please him.. -_o
-
My guess is that since they didn't realize the fillers were going to last forever, the first few connect more closely to Orochimaru.
Well after watching this episode…somehow I actually like the stupid brothers (particularly their Chip/Skip voices) and seeing the rest of the cast again but suddenly seeing Mizuki having a physical and mental change just feels wrong. The sooner we get to the tiger part, the better.
-
It's like Orochimaru is the only villain!
Orochimaru probably is behind aids too.

Don't forget global warming as well.
-
are we on the major fillers yet XD?
-
@ninjaFan22:
are we on the major fillers yet BELIEVE IT!?
(watches last episode, sees Raiga) believe it.
-
I wonder how soon until those 2 horrible episodes come up (the one w/ I think the laughing stuff and that American, fatso, what ever he is)? When did the whole thing began anyway? (seeing that its gonna be 84 episodes I conclude it will take a yr to get to Shippudin)

i cant wait to here madaras and all the other gays`s voice
