So, as of the second half of episode 458, we are finally out of the filler. Don't really understand the decision to have such a huge important episode consist of half completely unrelated filler arc, but...whatever.
458
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah, this twist got spoiled for me, but still. It's pretty out of nowhere.
New big bad out of nowhere is some barely mentioned figure from ancient history that none of the current characters have ever interacted with.
That said, still feels good to have Madara eat shit.
I just realized, if Orochimaru gets out of the Infinite Tsukiyomi, Obito would be, like, the perfect body for him. It has everything he could want. A Mangekyo Sharingan, Senju DNA, and the guy is completely spent at this point and would be completely unable to resist.
