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!
