Hai everyone,

I dunno if you guys watched the latest episode yet. We manga reades obviously saw one flaw in the episode, as Kakashi had 3 tomoes while Rin was still alive. But hey, it's a filler episode, so nobody will remember anyway.

What is interesting is that the episode 'explains' something that most of you have been raging on and on about: the fact that Kakashi and Gai can still stand and fight in the latest manga chapters. (Often referred to as plot no jutsu)
In the part where Kakashi and Gai were supposed to be out of chakra, Kakashi found the strength to use his Sharingan and Chidori to cut a lightning bolt (Helloooooooooooo, Raikiri!) and protect his friend.

So, there you have it. The most obvious explanation for why they can still fight: they fight in order to protect their loved ones.

(And for the haters who come saying this is the moat bullshit reason 3v4r, maybe you're right. But do know that almost every manga/anime uses this "protecting my friends makes me stronger" stuff.)

only thing that proved the manga here was that kakashi truly did cut the lightning bolt with his raikiri as gai said at the chuunin exams

This anime and manga has shown times upon times, that people who carry the Will of Fire can fight until the very end to protect there loved ones. No matter if they are out of chakra or not.

Kakashi was too old in the anime while Rin was still alive. They should have drawn their outfits the way they did in the manga by the time Kakashi killed Rin. Also they shouldn't have faded Rin and passed to Ran, because people who doesn't read manga will think Ran is Rin.

Possible since the fillers do refer to previous story lines to keep it going.

The reason, the age, and the clothes are different, is the same, Madara did not use Susanno in the cutscene with Hashi vs MAdara in new naruto game... They haven't had the facts. The episode was probably made weeks before the Manga chapter

Also. I thought people know about now, that "wanting to save your friends" gives you power in this Manga....

No filler is canon, so that scene of cutting lighting bolt is fake in terms of manga. Animators just tried to explain/show what Kishi didn't but it's not canon... not to mention many timeline errors in the chapter, like:
-Might Guy being in Kakashi's team while still genin (a Genin in in a World Ninja War??? Naruto doesn't count)
-Kakashi having 3 tomoe despite awakening it AFTER Rin's death
-Both boys looking too old
