- December 1, 2016484 - "The Detonating Man" - "Kibaku Ningen" (起爆人間
- December 8, 2016485 "Colosseum" - "Koroshiamu" (闘技場
No new episodes for 3 weeks.
Sure, but again, this isn't my critique. Maybe he becomes a great dude on his journey, whatever. The problem is that Sakura has been wildly in love with him for effectively the whole series.
When we're introduced to Team 7 we hear what these kids are all about, Naruto wants to be acknowledged by the village, Sasuke wants to avenge the murder of his parents, Sakura... likes a boy, tee hee.
And sure, maybe her pap there is more realistic than something as grimdark as Sasuke's ambition when it comes to the minds of 12 year olds. But as she grows, this doesn't change. As Sasuke proclaims how he's gonna kill the bijuu and kage, Sakura gives an impassioned speech about how she loves him so please don't do that.
In the intervening years, literally the only time he has ever shown her even the slightest bit of affection is when he said "thanks" before knocking her the fuck out and running off to be Orochimaru's bagboy. He has done nothing inspirational, nothing deserving of affection beyond being "hot and cool." It's not that I'm annoyed she forgives him, I'm annoyed that she saw anything there in the first place. That an infatuation lasted the whole series with no convincing reason to transition into actual love.
On the other hand we have Hinata, who isn't into Naruto because of superficial nonsense,
but because she's inspired by him, by his ability to overcome obstacles and even his direct support of her in her difficult times. This is how you do a largely one-sided love that develops over time. Sakura is outright embarrassing in comparison, or even in isolation.
It's not filler though...This episode tanked my hopes for good filler...
It's the perfect time to either retell The Last or Pull a Dragon Ball Super with some lighthearted slice of life fillers...
But we get exploding zombies!

Is it really post The Last?
Naruto kinda hugged Hinata and she didn't die, so I think yes.
But in The Last Sasuke had longer hair and a different clothing style with this headband...
Good point.
Hinata acted way too close to Naruto for not being after the Last, but Sasuke doesn't look like Hobo Sauce.
Another point for "after" is that Kakashi is in touch with Sasuke, in The Last he was shocked to see him
Pierrot: ¯_(ツ_/¯
But in The Last Sasuke had longer hair and a different clothing style with this headband...
Why the complaints? That was a kick ass episode, filler or novel-filler or not. Animation was seriously excellent too.
Although, the preview for next episode is odd: Yamato introducing himself to Sasuke like they've never met? They fought each other towards the start of series 2...
Exploding Zombies. I'm laughing my ass off...
And why is everyone so weak? Choji and Hinata both using one attack and are almost death, because they are exhausted. Sasuke, the most powerful Dojutsu user with his Sharingan and Rinnegan, also loses against some other Dojutsu user.
This was terrible.
Even Bulma x Vegeta is done better than the Saskue x Sakura nonsense.
Saskue clearly gives no fucks about Sakura as a romantic love interest, but his entire goal was "restoring his clan" so he needed to knock someone up.
I'm just happy Naruto didn't crawl back to Sakura after all the stupid shit she's pulled throughout the years.
I love naruto, but man the whole war arc was kind of bad. Once Tobi was revealed the whole manga just took a nosedive.
I enjoyed the gaiden with Sarada far more than most of the war arc.
I thought it picked up with Tobi's reveal. Or Madara's for a while.I love naruto, but man the whole war arc was kind of bad. Once Tobi was revealed the whole manga just took a nosedive.

Please remember this is a deadly combo of novel filler + SP filler. The rinnegan/sharingan loosing to any other doujutsu in genjutsu is a hilarious thought indeed.
I didn't get the impression he "lost" per say against that Dojutsu, more like he was testing it.Sasuke, the most powerful Dojutsu user with his Sharingan and Rinnegan, also loses against some other Dojutsu user.
This was terrible.
So, when does this even take place then? Can I watch "The Last" now or will there be stuff in between?
Dude why are you waiting for filler. You should of watched The Last after 699/700 then read Gaiden then watch Boruto the movie.
Were you also on TeamFutureSasuke is Tobi?
Because I still vastly prefer the Anime over the Manga. And nobody told me that I can watch it anyways. I don't know what the timeline is betweem Chapter 699 and 700.
What is it with Studio Pierrot and their worship of their precious Byakugan Princess? It's so disturbing...
There is no canon in between that apart from The Last.
Dude I highly recommend reading the manga, as the characters are portrayed better.
tbf there was never a fight against Pain, he took her out in one hit. At least SP tried to make it less pathetic than it actually was.
Fighting just isn't her thing.
Dig the episode, but what's up with turning hinata into a damsel in distress over the years. She fights neiji til and can't stand. Fights pain til she can't stand.
But faints into naruto's arms after hitting some pressure points. Was embarrassing in the Last too.
Oh MAN, MTE!!!! Hinata literally fainted after throwing a punch, for no reason. They've painted her as this ultra pathetic character who gets overwhelmed by nearly anything. That was never the impression that I got from Hinata. Look at how much will she had in her during the neji fight, which to me was one of the highlights of the series. Why do they have such a difficult time allowing a female character to not be pathetic? She can bring chakra lions out of her fists but she falls face first if the wind hits her. It's not even just her, the whole series has been exceptionally bad with its portrayal of female characters. They're always somehow inferior to men due to being a woman, like that is a human trait.
Honestly, this is one of the saddest parts of Naruto for me. Hinata deserved to come into her own as a Byakugan user. She had the determination of Naruto and Rock Lee, but they just couldn't let her do anything with it.
It's implied in the novel that she faints after taking out numerous zombies in the novel. She also remarks she isn't very good at that particular technique either. Nice work SP.
And I just realised that I mentioned the novel too many times in that sentence.
Was it mentioned that we are only getting one month of episodes per novel? Shikamaru Hiden to start in January with Konoha Hiden following in February.

Saying the novels are filler is like saying db super is fillerArt and animation were really good this episode and more Sasuke is always welcomed, even if its filler.
novel filler

Both are listed as having kishimoto and Toriyama as supervisors. In fact, the Super manga only lists Toriyama as the original creator.DB super has involvement with the creator. The novels do not.

Do you considerfiller?the Boruto manga
It was bad direction, Narutos clones aren't shown doing anything while Hinata is only shown hitting the last one of the guys
The way it should been, you see the clones rounding the zombies, shimmery immobilized them and Hinata quickly hits ALL of them, and gets exhausted
I agree with the portrayal. With Lady Tsu...we're told she's a beast and damn near killed even my favorite Jaraiya. But when it comes down to it a fear of blood meant kid Naruto had to save a Sannin from Kabuto. Boo that ish.
We're going way off topic and there's nothing to say he didn't have anything to do with the novels. Maybe the English release by Viz says something different though. I only have the Japanese ones here.Kishimoto is not listed as supervisor in the novels. He has no input literally, only provided a drawing for marketing.
Yes and we've had interviews showing Kishi's lack on input in that series.
