StarPanda Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Shippuden Discussion Episode Title: RivalsRaibaru ライバル Small Filelr arc 2/4 Edited July 13, 2019 by StarPanda 2
CorbeauKarasu Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 ah, another flshback episode....but it's a flahbac episode of when the series was better and with updated animation no doubt. with the number of times Naruto and One Piece do this, you'd think each series could reboot with its own dragon ball kai version by now 1
CorbeauKarasu Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 maile flanagan does a good job imitating her old voice here
DangerMouse Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Anko's five minutes of fame. I remember when this arc started I thought she'd be a major character in the show. Let alone when they added in her rebelling against Orochimaru who was her teacher backstory. Edited July 14, 2019 by DangerMouse 1 1
CorbeauKarasu Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 are they recycling old sound bites instead of re-recording thse scenes? their VAs sound like they did all those years ago (i know because i've recently seen these episodes) despite coming reasonably far in their skills since then
CorbeauKarasu Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 and orohimaru never changed out of that outfit until shippuden 1
DangerMouse Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I think they're just replaying it Though I haven't seen these in a while, they sound familiar. Edited July 14, 2019 by DangerMouse

Just about everyone else connected to him ends up being important somehow. 2

Yeah kishimoto under utilized her after the forest of death .you think anko would have been present more every time orochimaru made a move Edited July 14, 2019 by Roymustang1990 2 1
ben0119 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 They're basically just rerunning parts of the show with new animation, with maybe a little bit of extra moments. What is the point?! And this is the worst possible time for filler! Right when the war was about to start! 1
AnimationFan14 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Naruto "Saraku what's wrong with you?" Naruto how much time do you think we have in this episode 1
OwlChemist81 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 So this is basically a repaint of an old Naruto episode?
OwlChemist81 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Just now, ben0119 said: I gotta say I agree with him. This show really is legendary! 1

I was agreeing lol It seems like they basically just replayed the old episode for most of this episode lol Edited July 14, 2019 by DangerMouse

DangerMouse Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Oh right, back when Kakashi decided to train Sasuke and pretty much ignored Naruto and Sakura's training for a while. That was so weird. Edited July 14, 2019 by DangerMouse

ben0119 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 That isn't Kiba's hair but just fringe on his jacket we eventually found out. T___T Lmao it's such bullshit that Sasuke and Sakura would even get together. Sasuke when he seemingly had no interest in her and Sakura not moving on after he became a horrible person.
DangerMouse Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Guessing pre-Shippuden content re-run continues with next week's filler? 1
ben0119 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 LOL retconning the chakra nature in there. But Sasuke must have two since he uses fire too, and Sarutobi has like three or four lmao.

That was so weird. That made no sense and then it immediately backfires when Sasuke betrays everyone and just makes Kakashi look like an idiot for not expecting that Sasuke might go down that path, especially how troubled he knew he already was.

Well kishimoto did say that sasuke was his favorite character in naruto which is why the story would centered around that character alot Edited July 14, 2019 by Roymustang1990

Even then Sasuke's character still isn't written well.

The cool factor I can see, but he's an asshole. Sasuke's "friendship" with Naruto consists of them being little shits to each other and Kishimoto constantly going back to a whole THREE friendship moments that had and the characters saying that their best friends. So because of that shitty build up and Sasuke being a bit of a bastard from the start, it's kind of hard to buy in to the whole destroyed friendship thing and wanting Sasuke to redeem himself. Besides, Kakashi is way "cooler" than Sasuke, anyway, if cool factor is the main concern. Edited July 14, 2019 by ben0119 1 1

Besides, Kakashi is way "cooler" than Sasuke, anyway, if cool factor is the main concern. I think it's because Sasuke fulfilled his goal of killing his brother(technically) and having the strength to take down other big shot villains like orochimaru,dedaira,etc. Is also main characters said rival despite said best friendship basically I guess the manga readers in japan really liked every aspect of his character when it comes to his personality,back story,character interactions,character design ,and moveset. He also has his own spin off manga https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sasuke_Uchiha's_Sharingan_Legend Yeah their destroyed friendship is pretty much a plothole with flashbacks specifinally created to show best friend status.Kishimoto glossed through that part Edited July 14, 2019 by Roymustang1990
