Roymustang1990

To be fair,no one really made a thread for primal fury either. Maybe if samurai Jack or primal fury aired during the middle of the block,the regulars here would be more willing to watch it

Agreed,thought this might have been filler planned for part 1. Major props if the filler writers remembered this far back if they planned this for part 2 instead though

The filler writers remember neji is still a character with a once handy ability

Well nice to see, 💘Hawkeye getting a little toonami spotlight at least (by sort of being the avatar of that toonami pre flight) as her snapping on Lust to rage shoot her and then mentally breaking down afterwards to give viewers/reader another shade of her characterization that we haven't seen before is definitely a highlight of that episode as well when the avatar could have just been roy also,Looks like demarco is pushing fmab to be back on toonami even though it was initially aniplexs fault by for not allowing funimation to renew their fma license,nice of him to talk about his one of favorite fmab episode though

I agree with what you said lol Though let's say,we don't throw out their rivalry though(even though their backstory just sounds so silly lol) as I could potentially see ino also being another prime motivator for sakura to start learning her own unique power (and sakura wouldn't have to wait for tsunade) like masashi could have better written their rivalry when it came to the actual fighting like: -sakura vs ino fight 1 - ino beats sakura with her power easily but this loss finally motivates sakura to learn her new unique power -Sakura vs ino fight 2- sakura beats ino with her new power -sakura vs ino fight 3- I'm not sure who wins fight 3,I guess sakura wins or it could have ended in a draw like the series but the way masashi wrote their initial actual fight ,he really tried to paint it like it was the climax of their bout even though it was only their first actual fight to actually happen,like masashi just skipped lazily to the end,and the payout felt so unsatisfying(as expected) @DangerMouse yeah,I don't remember much or any acknowledge from sasuke to ino,just straight dismissals,which means masashi wrote sakura's backstory for almost nothing

one of ino's decided roles was to be the rival of sakura when it came to actual fighting on the field(though the rivalry for that aspect was so short lived its almost like it never happened ,and Ino should have easily won that) , and also be competition when it came to fantasizing heavily about being with sasuke romantically. There's just one problem with that though,sasuke is never seen interacting with Ino or even acknowledges her existence (if I remember correctly) which makes Ino feel likes she's just sakura rival..to be her rival... Because...lol I can't remember what ino did in those filler eps

though I think you were probably thinking about how ino would save shikamaru this time and not temari,that would have been nice to see

Ino could have fought kimimaro though I don't think that would made for an interesting fight or made a whole new sound ninja entirely but that would have been a retcon so the staff just dismissed ino entirely

Definitely has taken away from the tension of many fights in shippuden

Yeah she didn't have much of a role.She was only created to be a barricade to slow the genin konoha kids from catching up to sasuke to attempt a rescue and push shikamaru to use his shadow power to his absolute limits

Man,what a sexy woman!

This plot point of endeavor being considered for the number one hero spot and ultimately proving himself to be fit for the position should have way sooner in the story( like right around or after after almight's fight with oneforall) though I think it was the author finally remembering that endeavor existed as a character

the strength of the Third raikage's look and felt so underwhelming,I guess that was the point.Also,was the move the Third raikage using directly from the hyuga clan?

Naruto finally remember sage mode exists lol

I don't know why naruto continues to stay in full nine tails mode,just burning up chakra faster like that,and killer bee should be handling the raikage so naruto can catch up more even faster

yeah Killer B could have taken on all these zestu clones all of his own as well giving naruto more time to catch up with the others

have to say though,Naruto is already burning a lot of energy by fighting in his 9 tails form already.he should be conserving it for later fights

Deidara wored some fancy eye technology (it looked like a scouter or a camera) at one point

Yeah,I agree that her backstory should have be revealed before the gig and not just suddenly shoved it in there but yeah while Chrissy Constanza was doing Kyoka's singing performance,the volume of her audio had to be turned down just enough just so we could be able to go back and hear the dubbed voice actor Trina Nishimura and or sub voice actor performed their lines during kyoka's backstory reveal while Chrissy Constanza was still singing in the background lol. I definitely felt like I was taken out of her singing performance a bit while trying to process the backstory reveal simantanouesly. This kind of complaint is probably why toho animation decided To make a music video "hero too" where the only voice performances you only hear during the gig is just Chrissy Constanza herself and not the sub voice actor at the same time( other character voices are still heard though lol) https://www.youtube.com/watchv=ggwuenaqqlm I think it remedies the problem as we get to hear Chrissy's whole performance better now without interruption but regardless of how it was handled,I think the actual episode is worthy of rewatching anyways.

Colleen sounds so gruff here lol

kyoka Jirou got the hugest push here though for this episode when it came to expanding her characterization and it was done in a way where it was relevant to her power and her favorite hobby Lots of creative points there!

Oh,yeah I forgot about that.she was also playing the electric piano.There's no way she could handle all three roles.just too much work involved.

Momo should have been in the beauty pageant

jirou suddenly got a sexy hunky singing voice lol and it's all thanks to Chrissy Constana .She did a phenomenal job! Also,I think the song "hero too" played captured the hamminess and lighthearted tone of mha pretty well

yeah,seeing characters not always wearing their default hairstyle at times is one thing I haven't seen other shounen do much.it's refreshing!
