The ending of this episode is a very emotional moment and one of the best moments in naruto

 

[Imperial Bishop]

C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

 

[Grexeno]

"YES I'M SOMEHOW STILL ALIVE ON THIS ROCK"

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

There's only one way for Pain to win. Challenge him to a DANCE OFF!

 

[Morlas]

no but seriously this animation is great

 

[B-Dubs]

Can someone go stop Hinata from bleeding out now? Because she's still bleeding out.

 

[Schadenfreude]

This animation is absolutely beautiful. Such fluidity is damn impressive.

 

[Hidden One]

Planetary Devastation

 

[Man God]

Intergalactic Planetary.

 

[cntr]

...hmm, they shouldn't be using the simplified style outside of action scenes. Here it looks more questionable.

cf., how One Punch Man switches between the simplified and normal styles by context.

 

[Mizerman]

Uh oh.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

What's that little orb gonnaOH SHIT!!!

 

[Morlas]

if it weren't obvious pain is a monster, if nagato wasn't sick as hell he would be nigh unstoppable

I see you guys are on that episode of Naruto. Someone post the gif of Pain running on water like he's the Sonic the hedgehog. That one just looks silly.

 

[BBboy20]

Well, he's god among men so hey. *shrugs*

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Passing a Kidney Stone Technique! BOWEL DEVASTATION!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This is great animation, but these faces are just ridiculous.

 

[Grexeno]

Yep we're now officially in DBZ levels

 

[Schadenfreude]

My only regret is that the music is usual Shippuden generic shit. Wish they could have gotten the guys who did the original Naruto OST.

 

[B-Dubs]

motherfucker's making a moon

 

[SparksterMeta0]

This?

GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!

 

[Morlas]

Yep we're now officially in DBZ levels

please this isn't even saiyan saga levels

 

[Sianos]

as someone who hasn't been following naruto, i like this art style (though there's some moments where backgroudn characters look prrrrretty rough)

how's the pacing on the rest of the 500 episode series?

 

[Man God]

Jarate missed an episode of Ping pong the animation.

 

[ckohler]

Whether you like this animation style or not, no one can deny it has a ton of effort put into it. Which is something you can't say for 90% of this show.

 

[Grexeno]

how's the pacing on the rest of the 500 episode series?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[foxuzamaki]

if it weren't obvious pain is a monster, if nagato wasn't sick as hell he would be nigh unstoppable

Yup

Also the pain fight is a big turning point in turn a of Naruto combat, pain is the START of "this is turning into dbz"posts and which is why a lot of people think it would have ended at the pain arc because the series essentially reached its height

As mentioned, this is an unusual art style for the series, and it was largely hated by the fans, so they don't go to this level again.

Pacing varies. It's usually slow.

All downhill from here baby!

[BBboy20]

Revenge.

 

[zedreamcast]

I love this shot of him in the water. The only major time Naruto ever reflects deeply on the things happening around him besides, "FRIENDSHIP"

ALSO BITCH YOU THOUGHT.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

A new moon is formed.

 

[B-Dubs]

Yup

Also the pain fight is a big turning point in turn a of Naruto combat, pain is the START of "this is turning into dbz"posts and which is why a lot of people think it would have ended at thr pain arc because the series essentially reached its height

The power levels should have stayed here and they should have made the fights more clever instead.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I like this logical next step in Pain's powers. He can control gravity so being able to make small planets is the ultimate jutsu. lmao the nine tails is such a fucking troll.

 

[Man God]

Dr. Claw!!!

 

[Morlas]

still boiling on the inside are we naruto, come on he just 'killed' your future waifu

 

[Hidden One]

 

[ShinRPGamer]

This?

Yep that's the one. It looks so absurd that it's almost amazing.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

"Give me an answer."

"Destroy everything."

PFFFT! Ahahaha~!

Ah...

So funny.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Hey guys, this has been a great episode so are you ready for the worst scene in the entire series?

 

[Grexeno]

And then Naruto shat himself in the pool

 

[cntr]

"A guy used his gravity powers to create the moon" would've been a really fun concept in another series, but Naruto couldn't handle that properly in the end.

 

[RagnarokX]

It's actually mostly not filler.

Actually it is almost completely filler. In the manga, Naruto transformed into 6 tails form, shot off a single blast that Pain blocked with his ability, and then Pain ran away into the forest.

The anime expanded it into a huge battle involving water coming out of nowhere because remember that fight with Naruto and Sasuke? That was popular! And Pain survives being driven into the ground like a nail.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

please this isn't even saiyan saga levels

This isn't even World Martial Arts Tournament levels

 

[Sianos]

As mentioned, this is an unusual art style for the series, and it was largely hated by the fans, so they don't go to this level again.

Pacing varies. It's usually slow.

is it slow because its focusing on the wide cast of characters and giving them all time to shine, or is it just lots of dbz-esque recap episodes and powering up?

All downhill from here baby!
: (

oh no

 

[Man God]

Itchy palm.

 

[ckohler]

Curse you Gadget! I'll get you next time! Next time!!

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Ew... now it's all muscle.

 

[Morlas]

whew that's ugly lol

 

[Mizerman]

The power levels should have stayed here and they should have made the fights more clever instead.

Damn straight. But why do that when Ninja Ball Z is oh so better?
