The manga had atypically fantastic pacing this arc, but Pierrot doesn't give a shit.Naruto has an uncanny ability to kill tension with bad pacing. It's almost an artform, really.
With better pacing, the Pain arc could've been fantastic, but as it is now I think it is just good/great at parts.
A lot of shounen manga do that, to be honest. It sucks.
...I totally forgot about Pain's repair-o-head.
I really don't remember it playing out like that, so I suspect the anime fucked it up.Huh, Robo-Pain came back only to get jobbed out quickly.
The only thing it changes is (super mild spoilers)I do appreciate how Prey gives players the option between playing a male and female since it genuinely doesn't seem to matter what sex you are storywise.
Aaaaand power outage. Dammit.
Ebisu is fine.nope your teachers keep on gettin' killed kid....sucks
.......HOLY SHIT!The word "Jiraiya" actually came out of Naruto's mouth.
How old is Tsunade supposed to be? We only got a glimpse but her 'aged' form made her look 80+
Yeah, Pierrot totally ruined stuff that should've been awesome.
Man.
He used to be not able to throw it, which was bad 'cause it ended up AoE-hitting himself too.Of course he threw the magic shuriken. What did they expect him to do with it? Aren't they made to be thrown LOL
Hopefully, but these were supposed to be some of the more memorable moments of the fight. So really ehh at this episode.Eh, Pierriot goes all out on this fight later on. You shouldn't worry about them cheaping out on it at least.
