[Anime-only] Shippuden Episode 89 Discussion

[Corn]

Great episode.


I am beginning to become afraid of that Naruto will eventually die in the end. Either the Kyuubi will kill him, or he will kill himself. I don't want Kishi to end the story by him dying, but that's what I think.
It's so typical japanese to turn the hero into a martyr and kill him Like in DBZ where he dies, and returns as a ghost or something stupid... dammit

Spoiler for Sanbi Filler Arc:

I'm thinking that the Sanbi Jinchuriki from the recent manga poster is the character from the next Filler Arc.



Notice his eye color, hair color, outfit color scheme and the flowers he's holding.




Notice the similar eye color, hair color, outfit color scheme and the flower on his weapon.
Yes, the hair is slightly different and he doesn't have the scar under his left eye, but to me, that means that he doesm't have the Bijuu yet.

I don't really have any ideas on what the story is gonna be, but I think that this guy is going to make friends with Naruto while offering himslef to for Orochimaru. But then, the Akastuki will catch him and suck the Bijuu out of him.

[Sinestra]

Azuma's greatest deed before departing for the other world Knocking up Kurnai not like most of us didnt see it coming. Im just glad that Azumas blood line was only left with Konohanmaru. Decent episode this the down from being so up over the past couple of episodes. Naruto gets no love he finally develops a new technique only to be told to never use it again man i would be pissed.

Hunter doesn't jump the gun. He jumps a spoon. Way to get it wrong, spectacular_insanity.

Rumor also has it that the only time his patience runs dry is when his yaoi comes late in the mail. The man is not fun to be around then...

Oh yeah, didn't see the episode, so won't be contributing with any pertinent discussion. teh-heh...

[Kishimyu]

They already showed a preview in episode 88 of Naruto and the others fighting against Deidara and Tobi and Naruto said he wasnt going to allow them to capture the Sanbi so obviously the filler episodes are going to be about the Third tail

[King Ashram]

I actually like how they maybe look like a combination between filler and cannon storyline. its a nice way for them to approach the material and really make it anime original.

[Kishimyu]

mm, though it is a filler im looking forward to seeing it since it's gonna show the third jinchuurikis

[Alchemist007]

I don't like how they flat out suss naruto with the "omfg never use again."
I don't see why his kagebushins can't just be the ones to deliver the blow...I mean its not like if one of their arms get cut off, his does too. Just the author sussin' naruto :\

[Gamma_Sennin]

Episode wasn't to bad... once again naruto has a drawback with his abilities... hmm he cant use kyuubi, FRS... but o well i guess its just another obstacle the underdog has to overcome..

As for the filler... I just hope they dont water down naruto.. and make him useless again.. running in all hasty... like in the sora arc, where they make seemingly lowly leveled Nins treat him like hes still a genin (O wait he is) .. ughh yea.. jks aside... if we do see naruto in battle, lets see tactical nous.. creative use of KB.. and maybe fuuton rasengan.. its stronger than rs and didnt have the affect on his arm FRS did.. so at least its a little change..

[SuigetsuKun]

I don't understand it. He clearly used a FRS with his KB and why doesn't he simply always use KB with FRS? He wouldn't suffer any damage then, would he?
Also, back then, Sasuke pierced through Naruto's body. I can't imagine cells to survive that attack, so why is it such a big deal now that cells are damaged? Damaged or eradicated, there's no difference, is there? I think the Kyuubi can heal anything, even if it means shortening one's lifespan...
This trash talk is a little far-fetched.

[Kishimyu]

I also think the Kyuubi's chakra can heal nearly any wound, unless they behead Naruto (laughs to self); but i believe they must avoid Naruto using the Kyuubi's chakra since it harms him more than it benifits him, plus they dont want the future Hokage to die young lol.

On another note, i would very much like to see more use of Oodamam Rasengan, since he's only used it once on the fake Itachi. Plus it has no side effect, and it's not just bigger but it also explodes on impact. xP

[APastelPainting]

Because Naruto gains knowledge from his clones maybe there's some stupid side effect that he also gets hurt when they use the FRS. Doesn't make sense... but it's an excuse for the plot hole.

I assumed it was because his clones die from "fatal wounds" (In the manga, at least... In the anime, they die for no apparent reason sometimes...)
Seeing as how the FRS could potentially cause irreversible damage to him, his clones would go poof simply from attempting the jutsu.

[Gamma_Sennin]

Its nothing but a plot device for something in the future.. whether kishi will use some event maybe... inspiring naruto to complete it to the point it doesn't hurt him... maybe a life/death situation?

Making the cell damage process somewhat vague.. kishi allows himself space to create spur of the moment ideas that fit whatever plot he has come up with or will come up with... refusing to enforce something as canon (I.E Clones sharing the affects of cellular trauma), removes certain obstacles in his logic for the future, whilst trying to justify such plot devices..

actually KB in itself is similar, in that so many affects can be introduced throughout the series to benefit certain purpose... like the experience gain? which speeds up naruto's progress...

[Tyrone Biggums]

I got a question about the Rasen-Shuriken...is it just that move they don't want him using or is it the normal rasengan with the wind attached...the one he used against Kakashi.

Cause that ones still pretty ballin.

As far as anyone's memory is concerned, this has been the first and so far the only time Naruto has been able to use a stand-alone shadow clone to something significant in battle besides being fodder, "significant" being the ability for a shadow clone to hold a Rasengan of any kind against an enemy in battle (And the shadow clone gangbang against Mizuki from wayyy in the beginning doesn't count )...Naruto devises shadow clones to act mainly as distractions or as a wall of fodder to throw at the enemy in desperation, disposable as they are, and I haven't really seen any sign that Naruto can efficiently utilize shadow clones as stand-alones in a successful offensive, despite his immense battle experience (Multiplied exponentially each time he uses a shadow clone) and Kyuubi chakra reserves...

Even if Naruto could successfully use a stand-alone shadow clone to be the carrier of a Futon Rasen-Shuriken, it also still stands to rhetoric to decide if a shadow clone will carry the same kind of attack level as Naruto himself would be able to deliver...

[Alchemist007]

you mean push ball at body?

What about the fight with Gaara? He used wave attacks with his clones to some effect.



I think it was neat that the new Rasengan was described as a poison due to to the minuteness of its physical damage. That is an interesting departure in one respect from the rest of Naruto's blunts instruments... even though in practice it's not likely to be different except in the permanence, (and severity of course) of it's wounds. Since I have no doubt Naruto will eventually get to use at least a variation on this new attack sometime in the future, (or this attack itself) I also think it was neat that the attack was dangerous to Naruto.

Usually Naruto can use his (few) moves a nearly infinite amount of times. But here is his first skill where he can't overdo it.

I wished this wasn't his only new move. He should be able to develop lots of wind element techniques now that he's learned how to manipulate his prime element.

[Kenshin_Uchiha]

He really should get some wind jutsu, I mean, what he did with rasenshuriken is said to be very difficult, he could just learn a few basic wind jutsu's ffs. This way at least one or two of his moves wouldn't be kage bunshins
