    They brought it up in the old thread, nice work detective work. Did you ever bother to remember that he has looked like his old self in a different body? This was also brought up in the other thread.

    Also, nice work chaos. =P

    Because oro is with sasuke, its a shadow clone, of the glass's guy, to scare sakura. It's a filler arc, it would ruin the next arc if oro was there fighting, don't you think.

    I too agree with this because Oro would NOT have such light security at his actual base. This place is probably just one of his many recruiting grounds / collect jutsu research labs and Kabuto, who is quite good with genjutsu, probably conjured up the clone. I don't think it would ruin the arc for Oro to be in here... but then Sasuke would almost certainly need to be there too... and then, well i can't imagine the creator letting the anime steal his thunder like that!

    Oh, and Chaoskiddo, you seem to have the lovely habit of jumping all over another person for "a mistake" and cramming your foot in your own mouth.

    And Xanbcoo, this filler hasn't been all that bad. If you havent watched yet you might wait for the next 2 or 3 then, if people seem to think its worthwhile, go DL them

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I probably will download and watch them anyway. It's just been inconvinient to DL them up until now.
    I'll take your word that they're not that terrible. So far, it seems like some people's only problem has been Oro in his "old" body, which doesn't bother me at all.
    Except that he has no real reason to. The only reason he had for looking like his old self before was that he did it for the Third. I remember him saying something like, "I disguised myself as my old self so you could see me as you used to" or something. So why's he gone back to the MJ look?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Why not, when we saw him after the fight with sarutobi he was in his old form. I would assume he prefers it as it probably reminds him of him. You know, a sentimental thing.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

    That question is kind of like "why does Tsunade use a jutsu to look young?" They prefer that look is all.

    Wow, why did i bother to catch up with the filler eps.

    First
    Begining of the episode, oh the angst and the drama, jeez what a load o' crap.

    Second
    What's with the "infiltration techniques". Run in from the closest door shouting and yelling? Reminds me of how brits waged their war in American Revolutionary War: wearing bright red uniforms, marching on the roads in neat lines, on open daylight, singing their marching song "Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me ...." (Okay that was ripped from Scott Adams, but anyway)
    And of course splitting up is the only rational choice in that situation. Etc. Etc.

    Third
    Orochimaru's summer cottages defences... with all those ridiculous traps and Naruto, Sakura and Jiraya walking straight into them it was like watching that old Batman series, our heros Batman and Boy Wonder walking in and setting of every goddamn trap there is, while the bad guys are laughing their beards in somewhere else thinking they finally killed the dynamic duo.
    I know that Orochimaru has some inane distrust of people and keeps throwing them in cells or stuffing them in barrels and what not, thus the lack of any human guards, but one would expect him to hone his trap laying skills after Sarutobi had breeched into his first lair.

    Fourth
    It doesn't really come as a surprise that Sakuras grasp of reality isn't all that great, what with this whole bloddy trip to save Sasuke, but wtf?!
    She all astounished to hear that Orochimaru is hanging around in the vicinity of the premises. Holy crap does she think it's called "Orochimarus hideout" to get a better tourist appeal?

    In short the episode has action, speed and some attempts of humor trying to cover up the lack of brain activity during script making. Sorry didn't fall for it. Next time don't hire some homeless alky you picked up from your way to work to do filler episodes for five bucks.

    Hmm... who knows?
    Maybe this is where sakura shows she HAS got some powers....

    Even after getting disappointed all the time, i still think there's hope for her...
    I mean.. she can't stay useless forever, can she?

    Oh, and Kabuto is so very awesome! Really think he's one of the coolest chars in the anime, especially since I'm sure there's much more to him than we know now...

    I'm holding out little hope that Sakura shows us sumthin, but this seems to be setup for a big let down. Sakura attempts to do something buts ends up being saved by Naruto.

    Who else here thinks that Oro's new body realy looks a lot like Sasame's nephew, the one they're trying to save?

    This might be the underlying plot line of the whole filler..... showing the origin of Orochimaru's new container.

    God, i dunno... I mean... when was the last time she flat out beat anyone one on one? She held her own against Zaku, Dosu and Kin but had to get considerable help from a crazed Sasuke... And she couldn't even beat Ino or help much at all in the Sound-Sand War....

    Sakura has been so disappointing that her development of power is way overdue. But against KAbuto? God that would just make a complete mockery of one of my favorite Naruto characters, a proven, skilled, cunning ninja. Unless Naruto pulls some heavy surprises out or Jiraiya intervenes I expect Sakura to be taking a dirt nap...

    But that is just me, and I never seem to be right (probably cuz I keep rooting for the bad guys) in anime... Sakura probably will kick some serious ass... oh my poor kabuto!

    This was surprisingly better than what I expected. As with many people here, Jiraiya's pole was just damn funny. Who the hell would actually do that, especially with all that anticipation of what the hell he was going to do with that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
    As for Sakura's small attack against Kabuto, who can blame him for not seeing a kawarimi? She was in the shadows, after all, so he couldn't have seen what she did. Still, Oro's presence freezing Sakura, that was great.

    I would say .... this whole arc is pretty implausible... Naruto already knows Sasuke's really gone and there's nothing he can do about it. Sakura already should be pretty aware of the fact too. And why do they have such an easy time finding Orochimaru's hideout? Why doesn't Orochimaru have a veritable freaking army of sound jounins like he had in the invasion of Konoha (knowing that many of them probably managed to leave when the retreat was called -- those guys weren't ALL sand y'know).

    Just to comment on this...

    I'm not certain that Oro has that many Sound jounins at all. it's a relatively new village. Also, his best troopers have all been maybe at chuunin level, with a few notable exceptions.

    The Sound 4 had to use their seals to take on 2 jounin, so they sure the heck weren't jounin. Kabuto is definitely jounin, but that's why he's Oro's right-hand man. Not too sure about Kimimaru, but he was also highly favored.

    Other than that, the rest of the sound ninjas were nothing special. Certainly not special enough to be considered jounin.
