So tempted to say First, since I never get a chance to say first, so i just won't say it^^...

Can't wait to throw another log in the bristling yule-time chimney and sit down while Papa Madara gives us one of those old-fashioned fire-side chats...Grab a cup of your most heavily spiced nog and listen to Oldman Tobi break down another historic story filled with Xmas cheer...

Enjoy...Unless of course your a grinch called Sasuke...

Merry $hitpudden everyone and to all a good night...

[Frenchie]

Oh yeah baby, so psyched for that fight.

[Aqua Knight]

Again great episode.
Why does only Sasuke get cool outfits?

[Frenchie]

Just finished watching the episode. Hachibi's VA is great. Sasuke's mind rape was pretty nicely directed. Can't wait for the next ep'!

[Arjento]

Wow, great episode.

Really turned me around for the end (i think) of the Itachi Saga.

Sasuke finally shows sadness at the end! And is that MS!?

10/10

BTW I hope the next ep isn't filler...is it?

[Aqua Knight]

It's cannon.

Lol, filler-obsessed freaks. Sasuke is wearing a fucking Akatsuki cape and is fighting the fucking eight-tails, how the fuck could it be filler?

The same way that Kabuto could be messing with the 3-Tail, and Naruto and company could fight another one of the 7-Swordsmen....

No, not at all. The three-tails was used in a filler arc because they knew it was going to be captured, so it was safe. And making up one of the seven swordsmen and using it in a filler arc is no problem, because there's no chance it will screw up canon. But coming up with a filler fight between Sasuke and the eight-tails' jinchuuriki would be a completely different story, because the eight-tails' jinchuuriki is a canon character and they still don't know what's safe to do or not do with him.

[BlackDove]

Yuruse Sasuke, kore de saigo da.

I'd say it's one of the best episodes the show can offer.

[james0246]

lol, way to take a joke too seriously neshru....

That being said, damn this episode breezed through the chapters.

The real joke would be to give Sasuke a filler in the anime, he is already the current main character for Kishimoto
Naruto gets the crap action because he stars in the fillers while Sasuke in the non-filler parts

[Kafriel]

Would be fun to start the adventures of Sasuke's team...except they'd have to pillage instead of saving innocents, but that could work too! You know, like how Naruto spent 2 years asking about Sasuke/Orochimaru, Sasuke could have spent a year asking about Itachi

And how are anime-viewers supposed to know that?

[iBeast]

That was a damn good episode...Sasuke and his band out of outcast lol...

Oh come on, it doesn't take a genius to sort out what's filler and what's not. The filler writers are always super careful not to do anything that could screw up canon. Who would think Sasuke joining Akatsuki is filler? Who would think the filler writers took the liberty to come up with the eight-tails' jinchuuriki?
