    Ya, lets be a jerk about a free service, thats the cool thing to do these days. Its not even that bad, I don't see a reason to bring up this as if the mistake was trivial and stupid.

    I understood the meaning just fine from DBs version just so you know.

    Yay, another good episode! I agree with Mae in that little Kimi getting mad at the flower was the funniest part of the episode. We got to see little Kimi and little Haku....aw, they're both so cute. Flashbacks were definitely the best part of this episode.

    As for the weird Naruto-in-the-tunnel thing, it's gotta be some sort of genjutsu. I can't recall any time in Naruto in the past where the writers have resorted to abstract metaphorical representations of reality rather than showing what was happening.

    Oh, and I'm not really a fan of Kimi as a dinosaur. It just makes him look kinda ridiculous.

    if thats the case, then what would you call................

    1) the Naruto/Kyubi meeting that took place as Naruto was falling down the pit
    2) all the Naruto/Gaara analagies they had when Naruto discovered Gaara's past
    3) Sasuke throwing a kunai at the image of his former self shortly after the Hokage's death

    err.....those are all i can think of at the moment

    Hmm....that's a good point Assertn. I'd forgotten about those instances. Alright, perhaps not genjutsu then, but it was still weird and confusing. This show is usually very straightforward, and I was really thrown off by this sequence. Not to say that I don't like symbolism and such, because I do, I think it adds more depth. However, I think they could have done a better job with it rather than making me think Naruto was hallucinating. Who knows, maybe Naruto WAS hallucinating. Maybe the Nine Tails has finally pushed his sanity over the edge. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I don't really know what to think at this point.

    1) It represented what was going on in Naruto's mind as he was plummeting to his death
    2) A flashback for our benefit
    3) An fairly clear illustration of Sasuke's thoughts, not a real event

    Kind of abstract, yeah, but not so much as what was in the last ep, and definately identified as not really happening.

    I think all of the students get at least the basics of the different skills during their training at the academy (remember Sakura countering this illusion during the attack by the Sand), so it wouldn't be all that surprising if Sasuke pulled out an illusion trap in the same way he's suddenly used fire techniques in the past. He probably wouldn't be good enough to trap an experienced ninja, but Naruto running recklessly in the dark shouldn't be a hard target.

    Edit: Ok, ok, I'm wrong... yikes...
