the short answer is yes

sorry if this question has been asked a dozen times before...but what ever happened to the OST's? There's been so much new music since OST2, why hasn't there been more of these CD's? They probably have enough tracks now to reach OST5.

I don't know since I haven't checked it out for Naruto, but you might want to check out the Naruto Movie OSTs. I know that Bleach used a lot of the STs from the movies in the show instead of having OSTs just for the show. I kept wondering where some of my favorite tracks from the show were and it turned out they were from the movies

well you kinda had to define "traumatic". they are ninjas....

Spoiler for for manga:

when uchiha (who are sensitive) come to know strong feelings and then lose them, the sharingan is activated. when a really close bond is broken the mangaekyou gets activated

[ranchan13]

In the battle between Naruto and Sasuke (post time skip, before Sasuke formed Taka), Sasuke reached into the part of Naruto's mind where the Kyubi spoke to him. Eventually, the Kyubi says this (play it from 17:59 to 18:22)

Spoiler for Manga Question:

Did the Kyubi say this because he knew about the Indra and Ashura connection that exists between Naruto and Sasuke?

Spoiler for manga:

that's as good a reason as i can think of. it all depends on whether you can believe kishi thought about those characters back then or not. i think he probably did to a degree since pain's rinnegan was shown a little by that time. and the kyuubi would certainly know the brothers and naruto and sasuke's relation. he even comments that he hasn't seen anyone like sasuke since madara, who happens to be the prior reincarnation of indra

now another reason would be if the kyuubi knew that sasuke killing naruto would activate the MS and that sasuke might want to do that. sasuke would live to regret it since the MS carries a heavy emotional burden and then burns out causing him to be blind. it could also just be an ambiguous badass thing to say since then the kyuubi would be free

Spoiler for Question about the manga, possible spoiler:

Okay, so, from what we've been shown in the manga and in the anime, would anyone care to try and puzzle out the size, in feet and/or meters, of the normal Tailed Beasts and (this is the one I'm really curious about) the 10-Tails in its various forms (initial giant-mouthed hellbeast, skinny eldritch-esque horror with hand-tipped tentacles and a mouth on the side of its head, rafflesia-mouth thing, and God Tree)?

[kenjiharima]

I've just seen this on some forums and articles. Is Masashi Kishimoto really gay or just a troll with the Naruto series?

This may be a stupid question, and I hate having to bring up the Uchiha debacle once again, but after seeing today's episode...

If Itachi's parents knew he was going to kill them and wished him good luck in doing so, why didn't they just give up their coup instead?
They could have lived happily ever after. Itachi's dad even says their pain is nothing compared to the pain Itachi will have to bear.

Well, he was the only guy who could take that pain away from Itachi. Yet he didn't and instead opted to let himself and his wife be killed, forever traumatizing both of his children.

Obito started a world war for a single one-sided childhood crush...
he killed narutos parents and was the reason why his life was so cr*ppy...
and he was still called "awesome"...

like many things in this story, common sense is thrown out of the window so that a story can begin

well, OR the uchihas simply didnt want to listen and would never stop the attack even if the father talked with them, so the only solution was to make a genocide

there's a big difference in honor between having an enemy kill you and giving up on your cause. in this case, the enemy happened to be his son and he accepted it in an honorable way without a big fuss. it was a similar death to seppuku actually which in samurai culture is a noble way to die. i like scenes like this because it reminds me that these are actually ninja and not emo high schoolers as it sometimes plays out

Spoiler:

"obito" didn't start this war. Black Zetsu did. the obito thats awesome is the one who existed before he was terribly manipulated and warped into this bizarre tobi. the obito who wanted to be hokage is the one naruto admires. as far as his parents dying, naruto is appropriately taking his anger out on the right target at the moment

i think it was different

Spoiler for manga:

obito is the one we see now, the char where more than a few fans screamed "Horray" after his death...
tobi on the other hand was a mastermind with a insane power, his abilitys made him into a really dangerous monster but even he had a small weakness, the 5 minutes limit...

Spoiler for MY DREAM!!!!!!!!!!:

now imagine if the whole world war was done with tobi as main villian (not final villian), sasuke destroys the villiage konoha (but spares the innocent citizen), learns the edo tensei and controls the four kages... (foreshadowing for sasuke vs naruto)

madara makes his move from his cage where he slept and restored his powers, gained his rinnegan back, starts his plan to kill every shinobi, it is simple, he will overhelm them with sheer power and crush them...

kurama will not gain a TnJ, he will stay a super-evil monster together with the other bijuus, but to face madara he will lend naruto his power, so it will be BSM naruto vs rinnegan madara...

meanwhile sasuke finds more about the history of shinobi, more about kaguya, etc. he learn sage mode too and gives himself hashis dna, since they always said that he has more potential than madara, he manifests the sharinnegan permanently...

so6p slowly "died" (his chakra vansihed) because he cant stay a "chakra-ghost" forever, he gives the last bit of chakra to naruto, the yang-power, sasuke gained the ying-power through other stuff like like experiments...

naruto in BSM+ yang power fights against rinnegan madara => great battle

and after the five shinobi countries found peace because they worked together to defeat madara (and maybe kabuto too) they will face the greatest danger,

sasuke with his team and the four kages who are controlled and are on their 100% power...

finally: the sasuke vs naruto fight begins...

at least this would be my dream AND it would include everything of the story (except kaguya and BZ AND rin)
but this way the power ups wouldnt be rushed, they would be awesome placed and well executed, the overall story wouldnt be so painfully boring and we would gain a REAL sasuke x naruto fight :O

that's like saying Hitler was great. People would question you and all you have to say is: "No. I'm talking about baby Hitler. He was so cute"

[itachi-san314]

I have a weird question. I started watching Hunter x Hunter a couple months ago having never seen it before. So I wonder if anyone knows why it is almost the same story as Naruto? I understand that in specific genres there can be overlap and some copying, but the similarities between these two are ridiculously apparent and continuous. No spoilers please, I'm just curious if there's a reason other than authors copying too much

[cyberdemon]

you don't need to post those everywhere. You're even posting it in irrelevant threads.

Hey guys,

Haven't watched Naruto in a LONG time...or at least long time for me. The last thing I remember animated was Sasuke fighting Naruto and Sakura trying to poison Sasuke but failing or something / Naruto coming in. Does anyone know what episode that is? And from there, which episodes I should watch (i.e. - non filler)?

Also, a super plus if someone can also recommend which of the fillers is actually good / worth watching?

so to sum it up:

1) What episode should I start watching from again based on where I left off? (I can't seem to find which episode it was)

2) Which episodes are fillers that i should avoid?

3) Are there any fillers that i should actually watch / that were good.

I know I'm asking for a lot, but if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be great, thanks and Merry Christmas guys!

Going to try my luck and ask again...or maybe has anyone come across a site that does summaries of episodes so i can search via that?

I'm mainly interested in trying to figure out which fillers were good.

1. Alright from your description you stopped around Episode 214/215 which is the Naruto/Sasuke battle in the Five Kage Summit story arc. So you could start from there.

2. In my opinion, fillers aren't that much worse than they were in Part 1. But now after Five Kage , one of the more worse filler arcs start. With 223 the "Paradies life on a Boat" arc starts, which is full filler. The whole arc can be avoided, personaly you could whatch the last episode (242), as it introduces some Stone Ninja who are part of later non-filler arcs.

After that, the only bigger filler arcs are Chikara and a flashback involving Itachi and Kakashi in thier time as ANBU.
Most stuff that involves Naruto & Co as kids, some of the Edo Tensei battles are fillers too but they are only short ones (about 1-3 episodes).

3. Well it depends... As I said the Boat arc was the weakest one. Chikara has an pretty high production quality, so it's more like a movie cut into single episodes. I didn't saw the Kakeshi/Itachi one (still catching up, I'm at the conclusion of the Jinchuuriki battle atm).

And here: someone on MyAnimeList made a list of fillers and non-fillers: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=350747

I hope I could help you.

This is great, thank you so much, I really appreciate the help / comments you put in. This was very helpful!

Thank you again so much, I really appreciate it Kyral! Can't wait to catch up on this now that everything is pretty much "done"
