Naruto 180 Discussion

this episode wasn't too bad...
Akahoshi gets props from me, a villain that doens't waste opportunities :P he's kinda weak though...
Anyway, how will Naruto and Sumaru's mom survive the gas ravine? Possibilities include the following:

a) Naruto erects massive fox chakra barrier to protect them
b) Naruto uses Rasengan in some ridiculous manner to save them
c) Naruto grabs an edge/Sumaru's mom uses the chakra wings for a cheesy survival, even though they clearly don't have the time/positioning/room
d) The whole gas thing is actually fake
e) Naruto farts real hard, exchanging the deadly gas to a less lethal one

I can't wait to see...

well the storyline here certainly took a turn for the predictable crappy worst rather fast... not that we could expect much better from Naruto fillers...

and DB's "2 weeks of filler left, if you believe it maybe it'll come true" is anything but promising...

This episode was pretty crappy. Not alot of good animation, very little enjoyable action, crap plot twists (who didn't see one of Sumaru's parents being the thief?).

As for Akahoshi being a smart villain, I give him some props but he still fucked up real big. You don't ever ever ever throw them into a ravine filled with poisonous gas or into a tank full of sharks or anything like that. They always survive that! Take a knife and slit them from ear to ear while they're knocked out, that's milking the opportunity to the fullest. Also, keeping Sumaru captive in his own house? You can't even get a cave or some other base for your evil operations? Idiot.

looks like next episode is a background episode on the Hidden Star Village and it's great drama, oh i simply cannot wait to learn more about characters I care absolutely nothing for!

Wow, I actually didn't mind this episode that much, but after reading the thread I feel like I should hate it too. I thought it was cool that Naruto managed to outsmart a badass ninja, not just overpower her with Kyubi chakra or Rasengan. Most everything else was fairly lame but not devastatingly abysmal, the Lee thing was kinda funny, but I don't think it was a really big deal and Sumaru's mom was pretty cool, she just let her guard down too easily, that wouldn't have worked on Kakashi.

Where was it said that there were two more weeksof filler? I think this arc only has one episode left in it unless they really push it, maybe the whole next ep will be flashback, that could do it. But is there any reason to believe the next arc will be mangaa based?

[cugginenter]

If they start another 26 episode filler arc I will read the manga. I haven't read ahead yet, but its been almost a year that I have waited for Naruto to get back on track and i'm starting to get impatient.

It wasn't THAT bad, and it's good to see some character development (even the ones we don't care about) every once in a while.

I'm still wondering how Lee was able to keep himself on the ceilings considering that he is devoid of chakra. He's so badass, he probably just dug his toes into the ceiling to keep himself up.

[Genma]

Wasn't half bad.

For some reason I doubt this season will be a non-filler one. Why would they even include this star village stuff if they were just going to switch back to the main storyline?

It's nice to hope, though...

Rock Lee isn't unable to use chakra! He just isn't able to use tiger-seal based jutsus, and Primary/Secaonday Lotus aren't tiger-seal jutsus, however they do use chakra ( Lee has to open his Chakra gates, etc etc ). Knowing that, Lee could also be able to use the Rasengan ( a non-seal jutsu ), theorically...

[Necromas]

Best part was by far the wall removal jutsu Lee used

Lee is able to use chakra, but not any jutsu techniques.

Abilities such as the lotus that rely entirely on pure chakra and physical capability and not hand seals or chakra molding, Lee can use, even potentially the rasengan.

There was some diagram in the show where it shows the bodies chakra, taking raw chakra, and molding it using hand seal jutsu's, you can convert it into the chakra neccessary for ninjutsu and genjutsu techniques. But for techniques that use raw, unmolded chakra, such as concentrating chakra into certain parts of your body for wall walking or a really hard punch, it requires no chakra molding.

Lee is also able to open the bodies chakra gates (up to the 5th gate of 9), enabling him to have such a sheer raw chakra that he can use the lotus techniques (which require no seals or chakra molding).

[Terracosmo]

Nonstop crap as per usual.

The few redeeming parts:

- Lee's jutsu, hilarious.
- Neji.
- Akahoshi's design. I like it. He sucks other than that though.

Oh, to look as good as Sumaru does when you're uncouncious. That would be neat.

Having seen the new opening like 20 times I have decided that it's the best Naruto opening.
In fact, it's the best Naruto song so far.

If you do not agree you are wrong, obviously.

[Psyke]

Lee is able to use chakra, but not any jutsu techniques.

Actually, chakra isn't something ninja's "use". Ninjas use techniques, which I'm sure everyone knows by now that there are 3 main categories, and techniques use chakra. Lee only uses Taijutsu, which like all other techniques uses up chakra.
