Not out yet, probably wanted to get this up because of the sheer anticipation of this episode. I can't wait, tomorrow when i wake it might be out, it feels like x-mas!

kirose · 2007-12-20, 05:20

This fight has so much potencial, I have been anticipating its animation over any other fight in the manga so far

...the anime team better do good lol.

maus · 2007-12-20, 05:34

Yay, Naruto in berserker-kyuubi-mode. I've waited ages to see this chapter animated.

ipernorris · 2007-12-20, 05:54

I hope they will animate the fight decently... and not like Studio Pierrot did with Hollow Ichigo recently: they managed to make Hollow Ichigo like a chicken!!!

-Amen to that my friend. I am almost at the end of watching Shippuden as I'll stop watching it after Naruto's battle with Orochimaru.

ipernorris · 2007-12-20, 10:11

LOOOL what a crappy special...

Spoiler for special:

**monir** · 2007-12-20, 10:32

The last line in ipernorris's post motivates me to waste few minutes of my life. Oh what am I kidding? My life has been a waste thus far. Can't wait to see Oro-sama come out of his _ _ _. So hawt!

Kazuma77 · 2007-12-20, 15:41

RAW is out

mayhem · 2007-12-20, 15:48

watching the raw right now...in my book this would be a perfect 10 for an ep

ThoHell · 2007-12-20, 16:50

So after unleashing the fourth tail Naruto has lost most of his humanity and turned into a beast of burning chakra.With every tail that comes out he becomes more like the Kyuubi form, right now he's like a "werekyuubi" Naruto

Oro seems very confident for some reason

.Well the next episode should have good fighting scenes judging from the previews.

Just finished watching the raw version and it pretty much covers 3 chapters of the manga. All in all it was an ok episode but for some reason I don't like the way they are animating Naruto covered in the fox shroud (it looks to fake) or the demon fox for that matter (I think the best animation of the demon fox was when Gamabunta morphed into it).

It does seem like time flies with 'these' episodes, I mean, Orochimaru took nearly 5 mins to get from one end of the bridge to where Naruto was.

Well, the next episode will air on Jan. 10 which gives them 3 full weeks to animate this fight to the point where it's amazing.

Psy101 · 2007-12-21, 00:26

Well...for those of you holding out to go on a binge and see a multitude of episodes at once I recommend waiting at least 1-2 more episodes longer so you aren't left with a 'cliffhanger', this double ep was a let down in terms of fighting scenes and from the preview looks like the next one is where it will happen.

itachi29al · 2007-12-21, 00:43

OK, but it seems as though nothing happened. Oh well, next one should be good.

ipernorris Senior Member Join Date: May 2007	LOOOL what a crappy special... Spoiler for special: Half the "special" is flashback and the true fight will begin in episode 42. They only shown how much powerful the mini-Kyuubi (Naruto with four tails) is: the place where it is became deforested and there is a huge hole. Like a meteor impact to give the idea. Orochimaru is disgusting as usual because he came out of his own mouth after getting one of his arms chopped.

ThoHell Senior Member Join Date: May 2006	hmmm.... Spoiler: Like always so much time goes by and hardly anything happens. The actions of the Kyuubi/Naruto contradicts the actions and statements form previous episodes. Even when he has 1 tail out he's berserk, but now he has several more tails out and should be even more berserk but yet he stands around so much and does nothing. The new scenes and stuff were cool, but hardly anything happened. With 4 tails out, he is without a doubt the strongest being alive, just the mere transformation to that state was stronger than any jutsu anyone can do. He can't be touched, so why do others just stand there and laugh or even hope to fight against such power. He can't be touched nor will he let anything touch him. I really want to see a fully released Kyuubi, 9 tails and all. Just being in its omnipotent presence should be more than enough to drop an entire army. It can't be stopped, it's like a mortal trying to fight against a god. Ok, so like those were thought built up from frustration by watching the show for nearly an hour and hardly anything happened.

ipernorris Senior Member Join Date: May 2007	Spoiler: Uhm I saw the full raw (before it was a crappy flash video) and the episode performed a little better than I thought because of the special effects... but the special is about "Jinchuuriki's power" show off, nothing more. Anyway guys keep in mind that a berserk attacks its own allies as well...
