This is the episode I'm supposed to not like just by the virtue of Konohamaru's name is there in the episode title, right? But I also promised Frenchie that I'll give the episode a chance after reading one of his thoughts. Bring it on!

Sarutobis have all died up until now, so Konohamaru has a lot to make up for . And, as so long as he doesn't start smoking, and he doesn't keep any facial hair, he should be okay (If he does grow a beard, and he does start smoking, though, say goodbye to Konohamaru)...
That being said, I hate Akiko Koike as Konohamaru. She plays the character too young... I did like this episode, and I did like seeing Naruto as a knuckleheaded sensei for his knuckleheaded student...but the Naruto training sections really interrupted Konohamaru's moment. It was also great to see how many people refuse to give up info on Naruto... Last edited by james0246; 2010-05-20 at 09:45. |

Well, just saw the episode and I must admit they did a better job with it than I expected. They more or less condensed all the manga material into just one segment and their choice of background music wasn't bad at all. I liked the taijutsu padding they added in between panels with both Konohamaru and Ebisu, it made the fight a bit more fluid.
Overall quite satisfied. Though.. I think they cut out a bit of the flashback. It was the best part of the manga, in some ways. It was the redeeming point and the reason the chapter actually made a lot of sense. They kept the theme of teaching/will of fire/legacy intact, but they skipped the other part. They might use it later on and I think I know in which scene they'd add it to.

Overall, great episode.
I only have two complaints: THe first is the flashback dealing with rotation, power etc. It made it too obvious at the beginning. THey should have put ti with the flashback just before he attacks Pain. The second is the Tai-Jutsu segment. Don't get me wrong, it was great, its just it made Pain seem weaker than he is. Apart from those two nit-picks, this ep was awesome. |

Are you fucking kidding me? They devoted this whole episode to one of the most annoying characters in all of Naruto, all 23 mins of Konoharmaru. They gave this episode more respect than the Kakashi one...just speed up to Naruto already jesus christ...

Bad episode imo.
I think it is stupid that they made Konohamaru land a hit on Pain. After Kakashi fail, Chouji+ His Dad fail, Ibiki fail, ANBU fail they make Konohamaru land a Rasengan.. That Pain body will most likely stand up after but the simple fact that Konohamaru hit him pissed me off. Only thing I liked this episode was the glasses teacher. He actually fought like a real ninja without all the jutsu's and stuff.
