i really hated it, and it's very obvious that they're really rushing it and just putting in whatever BS they can just to finish up the fillers & conclude part 1...

at least we know that part 2 is gonna be amazing, but it still would've been nice to make naruto not seen dumber than he usually is..

what's with..

a. standing around there and getting hit
b. didn't use his usual kage bunshin and rasengan combo...didn't even try
c. trying to break fortified steel with his bare fingers
d. try to smash fortified steel with a kunai
e. doing back flips and somehow always getting hit

then there's the whole "revive a 100 year old random old guy" and he is magically able to fuse with the weapons and even combine the weapons together? yea..ok

that's like saying that they could revive shodaime and nindaime hokage, which is impossible now because of the edo tensei...

hopfully, the final part 1 epi will be decent...at least the non filler chunk...and then the week after (part 2's 1 hr special) will bring back naruto's high quality episodes...
