Naruto's barrage was well animated, the NT on the other hand needed work. Next week the best battle since Pain vs Naruto Edited by BadKent, Feb 2 2012, 10:27 AM.

Then we had Naruto realized that he also had a pseudo-grandad....otherwise, cant wait for masked guy vs Minato fight

Genin Posts: 431 Group: Member Member #9,109 Joined: July 29, 2007	another fantastic episode, the anime is really doing the manga justice. first six minutes were great, seeing naruto beating the fox while heaven shaking event was playing was epic, and kyubi mode was spot on. and the beginning of the flashback was great, enjoyed the filler when minato and kushina found out they were having a baby, and of course with baby sasuke, lol. the end with tobi strangling the anbu black ops was pretty bad ass, you wonder how he has all this knowledge even with all the protection in place setup by the third hokage. next week is just going to be the best, it won't get much better. this is another 10/10 from me Edited by narutofan85, Feb 2 2012, 10:09 PM.

There is one thing that i'm waiting to see animated very eagerly..... Spoiler: click to toggle KISAME!!! But everything will come in due time so i'm patient. Wonderful 10/10

The Winding Dragon Posts: 178 Group: Member Member #21,672 Joined: August 25, 2011	Good episode. Not much else to say, though; the additions in Kushina's story, although few and short, were cute. Looking forward to seeing more of the Kyuubi Chakra Mode�the effects for that were pretty awesome. When they showed it in the previous ending sequence I wasn't too impressed by it, but it looks a lot better here. Broncoboogieman 9/10 just because they changed the moment when Minato asked Jiraya if he could use the character on his book as the name for his son: Naruto. Then we had Naruto realized that he also had a pseudo-grandad.... If you could explain this, that would be great. Because first of all, that part was covered way back in episode 128 and commented on during the Pain arc, and nothing requires it to be revisited again at any future point. Second, the chapter of the manga that corresponds to this episode�actually two chapters: 499 and most of 500�never once mention that particular sequence, so it wasn't simply omitted by the animation staff. Further, the additions made to this episode don't conflict with how Naruto got his name. This "change" of yours doesn't exist as far as I can tell.

Ninja Academy Student Posts: 116 Group: Member Member #21,017 Joined: January 18, 2011	I liked the Naruto vs. Kyubi battle. The super-hyper-mega-ultimate rasengan was very original. <_< And, more Kushina backstory. It sounds like Whirlpool Village was a vassal state to Konoha? Or were they just very close allies? Spoiler: click to toggle Finally, though I realize she isn't dead yet, how does she know what happened with the Kyubi? She was too focused on the pains of childbirth to notice Tobi and was probably too exhausted to help Minato, and of course she died before he did. So how does she know how the Kyubi was released and Minato's suppression if she was not alive to see that?

Sharingan Master Posts: 439 Group: Member Member #2,721 Joined: May 27, 2006	This was a fantastic episode, a lot of questions answered about the series as a whole. Looks like that will continue next week too, loving this arc so far. One thing I don't understand is (spoiler from this ep only) Spoiler: click to toggle He took the Kyuubi's chakra and gets the bright cloack, but that means that he doesn't actually have the ability to turn into the Kyuubi like Bee can turn into the Hachibi, or call out it's tails at any time right?

Jounin Posts: 3,672 Group: Member Member #3,859 Joined: August 4, 2006	Seeing the Giant Rasengan Barrage animated was cool. The Kyuubi really is impressive to be able to take that much of a beating. In this episode alone he got hit with the Rasengan barrage and another Rasen Shuriken, yet he still had that much power. Getting to see Naruto's Kyuubi Mode animated was awesome. I hate to make a reference to Dragon Ball Z but ever since I saw the Kyuubi Mode I thought Super Saiya-jin. I thought that even more after viewing this episode because of the sound effects made while Naruto was in that mode. This was another great episode. This time period in the story is very informative as some questions fans have had are finally answered. I liked getting to see Mito Uzumaki and the Third Hokage's wife in color. The added scene of when Kushina and Minato found out about the pregnancy was very heartwarming. This is yet another excellent example of filler. Like a lot of fans I am really looking forward to next week. I have a feeling the next few episodes will be quite epic. Episode gets a 10.
