Aside from his clothing, I enjoy Sai's character.

It was essentially just a recap, which made it a touch tedious, but I do think it helped by exploring Sai's side of things; considering how emotionally stunted he is, I believe it was a suitably important topic. I mean, when's the next time we see him doing any kind of self-exploration like this? Spoiler: click to toggle During the war? I liked seeing more of the village and how it's coming along. Usually we just see carpenters nailing boards together, but this episode showed that the general cleanup was still in progress and, apparently, was maybe a little behind since favor was being granted more to construction work. Sai should know better than to deface private property, though. :lol:

A nice little piece of character development, showing his evolution of personality. Edited by TehJammah, Dec 2 2011, 07:51 AM.

I think this is a good move by studio pierrot going one by one of the konoha 11 preparing for war and getting more development out of them. I thought the ending was great with sai drawing all 4 of them holding hands, good stuff. 9/10

Plus it has been a while since we have seen some of these flashbacks. When I say that I speak of the ones from the Grass Country arc when Team 7 went to meet Sasori's spy. While on the topic of flashbacks I liked the one showing Naruto's fight with Sai. That sure was a clever move by Naruto to transform into Yamato, thus allowing him to catch Sai off guard. Overall this was another exceptional filler episode. I hope they keep this up! Sai's character got a good amount of development. I enjoyed seeing more of the reconstruction of the village and just how far the destruction reached. While they are making progress it's apparent a lot of work still needs to be done. The drawing at the end showing Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto and Sai holding hands was kind of nice. It makes you wonder if that dream will become a reality. Episode gets an 8.
