    The second translation is better. After saikai, the Kanji is "noko(ru)." I'm not sure how it got translated into kono instead of noko.

    Even though translation one is incorrect, Japanese is also extremely abiguous... The same kanji can be read many different ways. Using the final kanji from episode 182's title as an example, the final kanji is read 'kan' in this case being the last half of the word jikan (time), but it can also be read 'ma' 'ken' 'ai' or 'aida.' When it comes to names, it gets even worse because people choose Kanji readings that are archaic when selecting names. For this reason, waiting lists (i.e. at restaurants) often ask you to write your name in the alphabet (hiragana) instead of in Kanji (Chinese characters).

    Doesn't necessarily sound like the end of fillers, but I'm hoping it is...

    Someone point this to a Japanese speaker, I myself don't know any :/

    Thanks for clearing that up, but now it doesn't sound as concrete as before

    It got Translated the first way the same way some of the kids I tutor in math get answers.. Its called hopeful algebra.. you do abunch of steps that look correct.... but are not... and infact are only makign them becuase you are answering a question That you already know the answer too (just doing leg work inbetween)... Same thing with that title.. someone looked at it and knew what they WANTED to see... so they translated it like that....

    Even if Jyria was coming to pick up Naruto Who knows .. maby Studio Perrot decided to smoke an Extra lump of crack this week and the are gonna turn narutos 3 years of Training into a Filler Arc... hah.... and he can learn Extra Great NEW techniques... Like RASENGAN EXTRA where he makes rasengans With his entire chest like its the plam of his hand so its extra big. Then he can make tornados with it before he SHOOTS IT OUT.... OR maby he will learn how to use RASENGAN Eyes... so he will get all the abilities of Bakaguan and he will learn how to see heat signatures of waterfalls... so he can Train at them ... and one day .. If he is very lucky... be able to shoot lasers out of his hands.

    Wow I hope there is 26 more weeks of fillers and I hope that they read this post and realize tat they should hire me to Write all of them... Becuase after I was done wiriting Naruto fillers... Naruto would be a "semi Transparent Flying Buttmonkey" who (after activating his powers by drinking Car Battery Acid), could Breath Fire and Shoot Beams made of blizzards of TIC TACS out of his palms at his enemies.

    P.S. I know what your thinking.. and yess... He will be shooting Orange Tic TACS out of his hands...not those nasty spearament ones... or the cinnamon ones... ehhh

    Well I discussed the title with a friend who's a native Japanese speaker (and thus better at it than I am) and she would translate the title to mean: "Reunion, the time that is left (in life or to accomplish something etc)." It could be the final part in a multi-episode filler arc. Whether or not it brings the end of fillers remains to be seen.

    The new season begins in episode 179, after the new intro and ending are presented.

    Well If anyone believes DB doesn't pull stupid shit tricks like the 23 filler eps gag, check out their site...In what I can only assume was an April Fools joke, that is still in play, they claim they've been "Purchased" by FUNimation... More stupid BS

    Heh heh. Their new corporate style website is quite sleek! I wondered what was going on, when I visited the tracker, but since I didn't go to the front page, I didn't notice they changed the style of the whole site. Well, time will tell if it only lasts as long as the joke.
