[Anime-only] Naruto Shippuden Episode Discussion

well this is an anime discussion so I suppose i have to be careful about answering this for others and perhaps yourself if you are not reading the manga...but since you have watched THE LAST my assumption is that you have completed the manga

nevertheless, not sure if i can say manga stuff even if i used spoiler tags...

Nah, I prefer anime to manga (if there's both) and I prefer not knowing what happens before it happens. If I just read the manga it'd feel like all the effort I made to wait out all the filler and avoid manga spoilers was wasted.

When the filler is over I'll probably catch up and plow through it anyway, I just had to stop because it didn't seem like it was ending anytime soon.

^it still doesnt seem like it will end anytime soon but everyone has their own preferences :/

I skipped all the last fillers, but I just started watching the Kaguya ones. They are actually pretty good in that they are giving more depth to some characters who really needed it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

OMG my sides after 1 whole episode it's back to fillers LOL

Seriously this is just sad.

I'm watching these fillers, they fill in some of the lore and that's kind of interesting in a series I've been somewhat following for 10 years. Objectively speaking they're still shit though! I disagree that they added depth to the characters. Kaguya is just incomprehensible, and her sons are just kinda stoic.

My impression of them did change somewhat, though. Originally it sounded like Kaguya and her sons just had a big fight over world dominance, and the sons won. But the backstory in the fillers made it completely black and white and established Kaguya as the villain. Although in true Naruto fashion, I bet she'll have some kind of redemption arc as well.

yeah it does fill in SOME of the lore. i mean Hagoromo asks Kaguya outright who she is and where she is from (tree included) and we gets nothing. understandably i suppose since that would be several more degree separate from the original naruto story...then kaguyas flash forward shows the arrival of 3 ootsutsuki clan members but to my recollection only two have been shown to arrive (in the boruto movie). we gonna see the third one later??

it appeared to me that kaguyas was on the road to redemption based on what Hamura said before he left. that she was always scared and doing what she thought to protect herself and sons. that whole well-intention evil bit.

Hagoromo is Jesus eh? lol

[wingdarkness]

I'm like am I close to having a grandkid? When will this end, or stick to the final fight...4 years of this one conflict?? I know its been lamented again and again but good god you got me watching two dudes building a bridge no jutsu...

[itachi-san314]

"I know the world is about to end any second, but I really need to tell you the story about me building a bridge with some random guy."

[Jack]

So now that it's been confirmed that the Otsutsuki were indeed the progenitors of chakra on Earth, and that everyone else's chakra was passed down from them, that just opens up one big question for me.

What's the difference between Six Paths Chakra and normal chakra, other than it's quantity?

funny enough, we aren't shown what happened to Indra's village, but we have a pretty good idea of how things went down. he couldn't see beyond the immediate problem he was sent to solve and possibly left them to their fate. he lacks the soul, care and empathy for others. and would rather do things himself . this will lead to a showdown between the brothers and explains why Ashura (and Naruto) should triumph over Indra (and Sasuke).

we'll likely be shown what happened when Hagoromo explains his decision to choose Asura.

[Ushio the Omega]

OMG OMG OMG!

Next week is the Omake where Kakashi's face is revealed!

Just joking it's the team 7 bell test again because recaps sigh.

[Vajra]

The amount of filler is getting sad.

[Jack]

*Waits for the upcoming Youtube rant about this

[Ushio the Omega]

Back to canon next week finally

[itachi-san314]

They missed a golden opportunity to explain what Susano'o is. It was pretty lame how Indra just had it all of a sudden.
