I think it hit "don't really hate each other and semi-care" and kind of stayed there after like episode 3 or episode 5 or something

Some of the conversations and body language are really in line with a mother & daughter and only really started become prominent after Michiko rescued Hatchin from the circus. For example, the Michiko at the start of the show wouldn't have comforted Hatchin the way she did after she met that amnesiac boy. The body language displayed between the two at the start of this episode was absolutely not their near the start of the series.

New main character. This is his first episode.

So its like Part 2 of Jojo then! Maybe this new guy will be as good as Joseph was.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Shikamaru is a good dude

 

[Man God]

This feudal lord talk here is filler I think. Not sure why it exists.

connection with previous filler.

plus shika is right, the feudal lord is a jobber.

I dunno he sounds kind of annoying.

 

[foxuzamaki]

He's too lazy for that.

Spoiler

Which is funny, because if you read the novel he actually had to stop being lazy because he became a official ambassador and stuff

 

[Schadenfreude]

Shikamaru mentioning Naruto. Truest of bros.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Protect the king.

 

[Hellwarden]

Oh yeah.

They do some weird ShikamaruxSakura shipping around this point in the story, don't they?

 

[BassForever]

What a draaaaaaag

Yea, a lot of the changes in their relationship have been very subtle until this episode.

I bet it's still less work than being hokage.

Those just strike me as moments that could've happened at any point after the initial episodes; the show hasn't really built up to them, it just waited a long time to bring them out

Indeed

 

[zedreamcast]

My eyes are starting to glaze over, thank god for Hidan

 

[Seda]

filler or not, and slowing down the action, I appreciate that shikamaru can actually hold a conversation with his sensei

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Shikamaru IS AN AVENGER!

 

[BassForever]

Oh yeah.

Whaaaat? I don't remember that

 

[GaimeGuy]

Jashin pls :3

 

[BatDan]

Hidan going in for the kill!

Holy shit that was a good move!

 

[Man God]

Jashin is a proactive god.

 

[UltraGunner]

Hidan is the most extreme Jehova's Witness

 

[Seda]

fooled you again~

 

[skLaFarebear]

Hidan's voice acting is too perfect.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

GOT EEM

 

[Regiruler]

oh shit

 

[Mik317]

stylin on em

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Swerve the swerve!

 

[grandjedi6]

"Thanks anyways (Sakura and Sai), but I can save myself" - Shikamaru


The dialogue this episode is WAY too on point

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh ain't that some prep-time batman shit

 

[Grexeno]

FOOLED YOU

 

[Korigama]

M&H sucks because it has all the technical prowess and talent behind it and does nothing with it. I'd rather watch something terrible like GXP again cause at least that was entertaining at how completely inept it was.

WHOA, whoa, whoa...M&H isn't really working for me either, but man. GXP was, and still is, the absolute worst thing that Toonami has aired post-revival. Even as a trainwreck, it failed to be entertaining. Just an awful, awful show that drains the soul with every episode (and the one exception where they actually seemed to be going somewhere dropped the one interesting plot point it introduced, and then never revisited it again after that episode ended).

Not even watching Naruto, as usual. Just wanted to emphasize how thoroughly terrible, dumb, bad, and wrong GXP is as a work of entertainment.

 

[BassForever]

Hidan why are you so dumb

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Once again.

[Gucci Messiah]

alright i'm just gonna get on youtube and see how this fight ends instead of waiting multiple weeks

 

[GaimeGuy]

Shikamaru da bes. :3

 

[Schadenfreude]

A ninja.....used deceit!?! How insane!

 

[Dominican Power]

One of the worst things about part 2 is not focusing enough on the supporting cast of characters.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

So that's what those things were.

 

[Ultratech]

TRAP CARD ACTIVATED

Shikamaru so sneaky

 

[Raxus]

Fooled You!

 

[Hellwarden]

Whaaaat? I don't remember that

I recall Shikamaru and Sakura getting some solo scenes coming up, or maybe it's a bit later on.

Maybe they were anime only.

Weird looking back on it.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Did the Toonami team make this Mike Tyson Mysteries promo?

 

[BatDan]

Mike Tyson Mysteries Season 2 looks crazier than the first

 

[grandjedi6]

That's definitely not in the manga.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Isn't there only like one more episode till the fight ends? I don't remember exactly, but I know its really close.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Probably.

Getting dem vibes.

 

[Regiruler]

I flip my

fiendish chain

 

[kewlmyc]

Mike Tyson Mysteries looks legit funny.

 

[zedreamcast]

I remember the anime shipping Naruto and Sakura a shit load.

Spoiler

even though Kishi apparently super shipped Naruto and Hinata

Sara does a lot of the other Adult Swim promos too. She did the main Rick & Morty Season 2 one.

Isn't there only like one more episode till the fight ends? I don't remember exactly, but I know its really close.

Yeah next episode is the climax, and then a cooldown, and then filler IIRC
