What Were Playing

Well… Shit gets real… This is the moment I have been talking about in the past 4 or 5 Naruto Shippuden Reviews. Naruto is finally back and ready for his once in a life time fight, and not to ruin the Manga but the next big fight with Naruto is about to commence.

This episode was fantastic and for many reasons! You not only get to see Pain fight against all the characters you loved in the original Naruto but you also get a preview of what their parents are capable of. All of your’ favorites square off against pain with their respective families and its glorious. You don’t get to see to much actual combat but the little teaser they give you feels good and looks good. Off yeah did I forget to mention… spoiler… the whole city gets destroyed… Thought I mentioned that… I didn’t? Ohh… well here is a screen capture of it:

We’re getting closer and closer to the epic episodes! Naruto Shippuden 161 brings us the new found talents of Konohamaru Sarutobi, a ninja of the next generation. I say next generation because he is a lot younger then the rest of the main characters and graduated from Ninja Academy years after the rest. What makes this character compelling is that he is Naruto’s rival for the title of Hokage. Naruto helped him out years ago and has continued to teach him and his friends various things throughout the years.

This episode is about Konohamaru discovering his “way of the Ninja.” Konohamaru is overlooking one of the many Pains and he decides he should run but is found out. His current teacher, Ebisu, comes to his aid and tries to distract Pain while Konohamaru runs but something changes within Konohamaru.

Another week, another Naruto Shippuden Episode and this week we got another good one. For anyone who reads the Naruto Manga then you know what they are building up to and I won’t ruin it for anyone but In another 2-3 weeks Naruto Shippuden will have its’ best episode yet. This isn’t that episode but it is still a great episode to watch. In this episode we get to see a little on pains past, a little progression with Naruto’s training and a whole lot of fighting.

The episode starts out with a short view of Naruto beginning the next, and final, stage in his training but then quickly moves onto an interrogation scene. Konoha is interrogating the body of one of the Pains to try and unlock the secret of their enemy. This scene is really interesting though because we get to see something they have never really shown us before, ninja interrogation methods. Basically, in the Naruto Universe, when you interrogate someone you put your self in their mind and watch them live their lives. Some ninjas are better then this at others. The ninja leading the interrogation was able to see half of the persons day in only 30 seconds. I can just image how real interrogation would go if we had abilities like this.

Naruto Shippuden 158: Power to Believe and Naruto Shippuden 159: Pain vs. Kakashi were both really good episodes. I’m sorry for not posting last week about episode 158 but I actually didn’t know they were showing an episode last week because of Golden Week. Golden Week is a holiday in Japan and all the Manga, including Naruto, that I read didn’t post last week because of it. Good news for both of us though, I got to watch two episodes in one week and you get to read about two episodes this week!

The first episode was titled “Power to Believe” and was an OK episode. The episode had a lot of talking and little fighting. This isn’t what I want to see right now. Don’t get me wrong, talking isn’t bad in Animes, but when some major storyline/bad ass fights are coming up I just want to skip the talking. A perfect example of this is the next episode, the next expisode is all about one of the coolest fight in the Manga.

Yeah he is that bad-ass.

It has finally happened!!! I have been waiting for this episode for months, maybe even a year now! For those who don’t know, all of the Jump Comic Anime Renditions like to go into Filler Arcs often and for long periods of time. Naruto, actually, just got out of a long filler arc and back on the Manga track. This is a good thing, a very good thing.

When Naruto left off making episodes they were at a very crucial and very exciting time in the Manga. When Naruto learns to master Sage Mode and fights the greatest battle in the entire series! And now, after months and months of wait, the battle has began! In this episode Pain, leader of Akasuki, has started his full on attack of Konoha Village in search for Naruto. Naruto is off finishing his training and about to be summoned back to the Village for a full on battle. But before that happens they are going to show some of the lesser characters fight and some really unknown characters get some screen time. This is really exciting actually because they bring back a lot of other characters you typically don’t see and you get to see them fight!
