1.You see Shikamaru fight once every blue moon.

someone has to say it

think it's the classic shounen line

"did I get 'em?"
"did it work?"

the answer I believe is almost always a colossal "NO!"

LOL, that is the classic horror line as well.

I still wonder why Shikamaru learns absolutely no techniques. He is from the Nara clan and he has his jutsu, but why does ne not learn how to use some other ninjutsu or maybe taijutsu or anything else that helps him get along when his chakra's gone again?

Exactly. It's just sad. Everytime I hear Naruto yell his name, I cringe.

[RANT]
This entire filler just goes from bad to worse, with each episode. Seriously? Another attack on Konoha? Asuma can use the force? The Godaime needs help from Naruto to avoid an assassination attempt?! Danzou tries to flee?! And gets caught by ANBU?! How many people could not detect Sora's presence in the chamber? A resurrection technique better than Oro's??!! Wow! Writer's got some guts. Too bad they don't have any skills. I just hate how they portray the earth user crushing random nameless leaf ninja chuunins as they walk to the gate. LAME! Leave the random nameless ninja alone. And then I have to watch a hovering wig with eyes? For a second there I thought I was watching the ghost filler arc. Did anyone, the characters, the viewers, the writers... really think Sora would just snap out of it from hearing Naruto yell his name? Well, I guess if you SCREAM his name for an ENTIRE episode... it'll work. Boy do they make characters look dumb in these fillers. 'If it doesn't work, try it again. If it still doesn't work have someone else try it' ??? I guess it gives the healers something to do. Seriously, gatzuga (sp?) has to be the worst technique EVER, next to Choiji's techniques. It's just so hard to watch, and listen to. I think I'll watch the next episode with Mute on. Just so I don't have to listen to 'SOOOOOOORA!'

I am so stumped on that one. You'd think a genius would realise that having one technique for the past 3 years is gonna get you killed eventually. Of course he may have something hidden as is usually the case with geniuses in shounen but I haven't seen an inlking to suggest that, [no] so i'll go with the 1 technique dilemma.

I have been fairly disappointed by these filler episodes. We were getting so close to seeing some good stuff from the manga finally animated, and then it switches to this. About the only thing I kinda liked out of these fillers so far, is that they gave Naruto a little bit of intelligence in figuring out that one chick that switches bodies to use different elements. And the part that gets the WTF!!! award has to go to the gathering of residual 9-tails chakra to be put into Sora. I don't know why, but I just really didn't like that part. Hopefully these filler episodes will be done soon, so we can get back to the main story.

Yes, I did not like that either! I loved Naruto going on a rampage, being so powerful that he was even able to fight at eye level with the powerful Orochimaru and even if he lost his mind, he was somehow a racket and now they've destroyed all this just by giving the same thing to another character, a f***ing filler character and it blows my head off.
It angers me greatly that they have done this.

So this was the climax of the arc.

Naruto accomplished to fight urge of the Kyuubi chakra taking over his body and mind, and forced Kyuubi back to the cage.

He now intends to reach Sora and save him from the Kyuubi chakra.

The thing is that the Sora scenes within his mind are actually a recycling of said scenes we watched within Gaara's mind at the end of the Gaara rescue arc.

On a semi-on topic note, add Inuyasha and Yusuke to the list. Each series had about 2-4 different techniques for the main character learned over the course of 100+ eps. -_-

God I can't wait for the fillers to end. I actually thought this particular filler had the potential to be good for a change since it involved Kyuubi (something that was very rare in pre-time skip fillers). But it seems a lot of people don't like it. I'm hoping that by watching the entire filler all through at once, I'll enjoy it a little more than the rest of you.

this filler is probably the worse one haven't had the urge to naruto since it started. skipped through episode 60 to check the previews and thought we were going to get some kyubi on kyubi action but no just more Jinchurichi sympathy and a for a fake jinchurichi no less. I think they should get some new writers for the fillers cause at most they have destroyed the sanctaty of kyubi.( y can residual chakra even manifest tales let alone 4) shit made no sence much like this whole filler ark. hey may they'll turn it into a dream ark were at the end Asuma wakes up from this crap.

Why do the fillers always turn Naruto into a giant punching bag? I mean now he's going to fight Kyubi so his punching bag level will increase.

Strange memories on this nervous days in the Fire Country. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime, the kind of peak that never comes again. Konoha in the middle sixties episodes was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

Using S. Thompson's prose to express nostalgia of a mainstream animeseries ? Interesting choice.

Nothing less from you, Hanta-sama. I'm fascinated you recognize it that well.
What I wanted to express is that dissatisfactory that lies like a dark cloud between the heads and the papers of the creators of Naruto. It resembles blindness. Nothing but hope is left of that Naruto content that once casted a spell on all of us. Bound by tremendous enthusiasm, we hoped for this never to end. What is left of it is agony, that we feel watching those filler episodes after one whole exhausting year of bikoucho and curry of life...
...a neverending misery that seems to me as if all that can make me smile about Naruto is the past it has.

Killing him would be really uncharacteristic from Naruto (either filler or canon), but if he survives there's no way he won't interrupt the next arc screaming for revenge (again). So, there's a high possibility they might just kill him, unless they plan to mess up canon scenes by adding him to them...
or they might keep him alive.. in the event of another round of fillers *shudders*
