He could have just been playing for time. Don't forget that he was outnumbered five to one and at least two of his foes had potent attacks. While he knew Hidan had been tricked into destroying one of his hearts, I expect he still thought Hidan could/would destroy Shikamaru and return to help even the odds up.
Good episode.
Anyone notice what Ino said after Naruto's attack failed the first time around. Thats a rather haughty thing for her to say, especially since she didn't do anything since the battle began. Bitch.
Anyway speaking of Naruto's attacks let me get this straight. He needs a clone to do the rasengan and that can't be thrown. He needs two clones to do the Rasenshuriken which also can't be thrown but in the last episode we saw him do the Fuuton: Rasengan with one hand and he throws it. Inconsistent huh
I didn't like the way they animated it when Kazuku was just floating in the air with little white lines all over him, but when he was inside the ball and it was showing his flesh getting torn apart and then him exploding was awesome.Well, has she ever actually seen him do anything cool? I don't think she's ever seen him even do a normal rasengan before.Quote:

Based on the smug look she had on her face after he failed I don't think its just about her not seeing him do anything cool before. Btw she did she his battles during the Chuunin exam and Naruto's exploits are well known throughout the village. Thats just Ino's personality.Quote:

I will say this though, the sound effects for the rasenshuriken were epic.
That is quite true, though you'll have to take marks off for originality. It's almost identical to the Chidori.Quote:

This made me lol xDQuote:

Unless it's based off material not shown in the anime yet, I can't see it being considered "spoiler".
Then he's going to create a new technique that produces mini-narutos, he'll call it kami rasengan.
*gotenks
The way I see it, Rasengan is a concentrated ball of energy that's being controlled by the hand, and when released, the spirals that were created expands outward.Quote:

Now if you throw a ball of rasengan like that, it will immediately peter out without much distance and will just be a waste since nothing is containing the energy (hand).
one way to counter this is to either wind it up tighter by using wind element.
The technique is 50% done so it is a possibility
The fact that people fly 100+ feet shows how much energy was stored in the ball to begin with
I think we need to stop seeing repeats of "this is a new Naruto" lines only to see him going back to being a prat. Let's hope he stays "new" this time.
I'm a bit disappointed about how quickly Kakuzu died... damn nuke techniques. Totally imbalanced. In addition, I wanted to see more techniques from him... in the end they made him look like an ordinary "filler monster"-ninja.
Kakuzu was analyzing so many things at the beginning and never underestimated his opponents.. but in the end, he fell for the most obvious and most stupid thing, but what I hate the most about it is that naruto made a second air-rasengan out of the blue, even though he needs time and concentration to create it... and also you should be able to hear that thing miles away, like chidori.
I expected a nice speech from Kakuzu at the end... Sasori + Hidan (and naturally Zabuza :P) had one too :(. The last words from a villain are always the best (not only in Naruto)
Kakuzu indeed died too easily. I'd also rather had him in his old form. His new look just sucked, he looked more like the Wacky Wavy Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man...
At least Hidan died a cool way, while Kakuzu the better of the two died so lame.
Hey, Hidan is not dead...
And someone was saying Kakuzu was not dead because of the way his body fell to the earth.
And why, after all the threads and stuff from the rasen shuriken tore his body apart, did he fall down with a normal body with legs and arms intact?
Because a show that airs early in the morning can only hint at death, not show it outright?Quote:

The moment they didn't show this in the anime you knew it would get censored.
I don't read the manga, but from what I remember about the anime, didn't it show that scene, except without blood?
