I never said that was what actually happened in the anime, it's my own theory on things based on facts from the anime.

You say it's so obvious the forbidden technique is the nine tails coat, even tough it's not really a technique and naruto has almost no control over it. Even after the nice chit chat he had with yamato, after being attacked by sasuke his eyes were already going red and if sasuke hadn't suppressed the kyuubi who knows what might have happened.

For all we know jiraya could have just told him not to use the oodama rasengan because he hadn't mastered it completely and it severely depleted his chakra reserves, it might not have anything to do with the kyuubi, but that's just another theory, the fact still remains we don't have enough information to make any final conclusions on the subject just yet.
Your theory falters for two reasons.

1. The episode is 8-9 and what Jiraya specifically says (at 20 min into the DB version) is "I know you know this,but, don't use that power." Not technique. In that context it makes it much more clear that he's referencing the Kyubi.

2. Naruto uses the Oodama Rasengan very early in the arc, with little to no real negative effects. He didn't even come close to loosing control or changing into the Kyubi. In fact the only thing in this arc that has consistantly resulted in him changing into Kyubi has been his own temper going out of control. Which just so happens to be another thing Jiraya warned/scolded him about. Why would they have Jiraya make such a big deal out using the Oodama Rasengan then have him use it and utterly trivialize it? Meanwhile the second he goes into Kyubi cloak it's extremely obvious that he's completely out of control and a danger to everyone, further reinforcing the notion that that was the "power" jiraya was referencing

Taking what was said, and the way the two things were presented it's beyond me how you could even begin to suspect Jiraya was warning him against the giant rasengan instead of the Kyubi's power.


On the current episode, it actually wasn't bad. For a Naruto filler anyway. The fights were decent although a bit short, but hopefully we get a lot more in the next episode.
