    Episode 149 discussion

    The only thing that I really don't understand about this episode is why, when all of them (except Naruto of course) knew that they were being watched, did they allow themselves to be separated long enough for Hinata to be kidnapped and held for ransom? I guess the writers wanted to have a little more drama since they have to make it last a few episodes... so they put Hinata in a "sticky" situation. Here she prooves here usefulness by finding the Bikouchuu with her Byakugan, then gets in a situation where she needs to be rescued. (Nice one on the "Sakura'd" thing, DarthEnder.) Other than that, I thought it was a decent episode. At least there's the usual humor from Naruto's antics with the roaches and the giant Bikouchuu look-alike.

    Well, then again, there's the matter of a drunk Tsunade who foolishly ignores a warning about unrest in a clan that uses insects... I wonder how she's going to react once she sobers up and realizes what an idiot she is. I think it's pretty safe to say that Orochimaru is involved in this in one way or another, especially after the revelation that finding this bug is essential to the "restoration of the Kamizurui Clan". It sounds just like the mission to the Sound country with Sasame and her brother when Naruto, Sakura, and Jiraiya when scouting for Orochimaru's hideout. It's another empty promise for power to manipulate people into doing what he wants. Maybe he fled to the Earth country and deceived the Kamizurui to set up his new base of operations there after he realized he was being tracked and abandoned the old hideout.

    I don't follow the manga, so I don't know if any of this fits in with the main story or if it's all still filler. Someone please feel free to comment if you know.

    maybe she's already predicted how badly Aburame Shino's team's gonna easily mess that fallen clan up in any scenario. And as for the preparedness of the team itself, while Hinata certainly wasn't strong enough to fend for herself, Shino might have known that in any possible confrontation the enemy would have more use keeping a weak teammate alive as a trap lure rather than kill that teammate off knowing the jackpot was really Shino himself.

    Or I could just be taking this too seriously.

    whatever the case, i liked how creative they were in explaining that rain would cause the flora temperature to drop but the fauna body temperatures to remain constant, to help the Byakugan differentiate. In fact, the only thing that dissappointed me in this episode was the lack of pedophilic nud......I mean Hinata's gracefully elaborate dancing by the waterfall. yea.

    Um .... Why would temperature dropping help The Byakuguan again?..... I mean I think its just something random the wirters decided.... Since I didn;t know it had antyhing to do with temperature to begin with.. Maby its like IR goggles the army has.. heh.. eh what ever....

    Hinata seems to be able to find waterfalls to train at... no matter where she is...I guess she uses her Byakuagan to find them....and since they are running water.. they must have a lower temperature... which helps her find them.. so she can train at them....

    The Scene where the bug girl (with the largest forhead ever) says "wow she came all the way out here to train.. she must be serious...." .....That was really .....worthless

    I have offically given up watching this show untill all the filler dookie is over (yes I will watch them... But just back to back someday... fastfowarding through alot of the ..... "extra bulk")

    Shinos Bug summoning technique... kinda sucked.. I mean basically its like all the bugs on the tree walk towards him so he dosent have to go to them... I mean If he could do it over a large range ... it would be something decent... But Instead it would be like Kiba using a "Akamaru summoning technique" that called akamaru over when he was 20 ft away....it would sound something like "Here boy ::whisstle whistle whisstle:: Here Boy"but If Kiba wanted to first he could waste some Chakara and make the shape of a bone on the ground too while he was at it.. like that lame bug web shino made

    I'm thinking she can sense their body heat better when the surrounding air's temperature is much different.

    Anyway an unusual amount of idiots posted in the release thread this week, WTF?

    I would Figure bugs alive = they gots chakara... Air.. not alive.. Dosent have chakara.... so I dunno how temperature should help Byakuguan SEE better.

    I hope your not talkin about me being an idot.... becuase if you are... should learn WTF IR (Infread Red) waves are.. and how they work....Becuase what your saying is EXACTLY what I said.... Except I simply questioned that it worked like IR... I figured it was more like sensing chakara... Becuase if Byakuguan = IR goggles.. THEN wtf is special about that? The Temperature thing implies that the MAIN ability of bakuagan relates to temperature.....

    Neji seemed to use it to read the emotions of his opponents and see the Tenkitzu (spelling...totally wrong probally... those chakara points he smacks with his devine ass whoopin techniques)... So it seems like bakaguan can see chakra. A good example of this is the dchinnin exam and his fight vs naruto. NOt once was Neji like.... Hmmm Naruto.. your body temperture seems low.. you must be runing low on the chakra.

    I'm really surprised that Hinata didn't faint again after that huge bear hug Naruto gave her. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    Jeff, You have a point about Tsunade maybe thinking they wouldn't be a match for this team, but I still think she was too drunk to think straight enough to make any real assessment of the situation. As for Shino maybe knowing that Hinata would only be used as bait if anything happened to her, I think that's just a bit of a stretch. You just don't put your teammates in danger intentionally. We know they're going to get out of this somehow, but look at the disadvantage they're in when they could have faced them 4 on 3 instead of having one member down. If they had stuck together, knowing the danger that awaited them, any confrontation would have had to be direct instead of this sneaky hostage deal.
