Hey Guys,


Today I would like to discuss something that has been putting us fans << ( Neji fans)>> in frustration for quite a while due to the simple fact that the way Kishimoto handled his death went very rushed and misleading. Stuff were very disappointing in the Manga because It was literally just Kishi's bad writing on his part.

I was hoping they could do similar like Madara extra fight scene before he uses fire style in episode 322 not Animation wise but more content.

Now that the next episode is finally approaching to his death, do you guys think the Anime might justify his death?

As for me I think the Anime Studio Pierrot might pull this through by giving some extra fight scene or panel time to give some proper development and buildup for Neji Hyuga.

The reason is because I believe when I looked up the June Schedule from the Wiki from many people posted, it gave some open possibilities outcome event for Neji. Although I don't rely on Wiki but because it looks legit and it's conjecture for now I will stick with it otherwise until we get an update confirmation.

After I analyze the list of episodes this got me thinking

June 5, 2014
364 "The Ties That Bind"
"Tsunagareru Mono" (繋がれるもの) June 5, 2014

June 12, 2014
365 "Whirling and Enduring 2"
"Shinobimau Mono-Tachi — Sono Ni" (忍び舞う者たち 其ノ弐)

June 19, 2014
366 "A Clan Possessed by Evil"
"Aku ni Tsukareta Ichizoku" (悪に憑かれた一族)

June 26, 2014
367 "Hashirama and Madara"
"Hashirama to Madara" (柱間とマダラ)


We know that next episode is the death of HQ and Neji. Usually it covers 3 chapters maximum each episodes. In the preview we saw some scrambled scene of the Shinobi Alliance vs Juubi and from the look of it, the farthest point of the next episode is the scene where everyone reacts to Neji death in Chapter 615 (The Connected One).

I don't find this scene as an ending to this episode and I don't know where it's going to appropriately end mainly because it has too many speeches and dialogue coming from Obito, Hinata, Naurto, and Kurama mouth so I can assume it stops half way.

You can see In Episode 366 is the starting point where it changes back to Sasuke co scene.


So that means In episode 365 "Whiling and Enduring" it will probably cover some remaining parts from chapter 615 "Connected Ones" and 616&617 "Whirling Enduring" because we know in the end of Episode 365 ( Whirling and Enduring) is going to leave a cliffhanger right after Rock Lee blitz and Kicked Madara.



Each chapter will take at least 6 Minute of content so if you X by 3 chapters it will make a total average of 18 minutes. If we look at Chapter 613 (The death of HQ), it has 14 pages and usually it takes the amount 17-20 pages. So In other word this leaves more room for Neji development because next episode is not going to cover chapter 615 "Connected One" Entirely which will probably left off somewhere in the beginning to the middle of the chapter.


Conclusion: Shippuden Episode 364

So the total amount of extra content of Filler padding that will be given him some screen time, etc probably get is 3 Minute excluding from the manga.

Opening: 1:30 Minute

Chapter 613: 4-6 Min

Chapter 614: 6 Min

Filler Padding of Neji: 3 Min

1/4 - 1/3 - 1/2 of Chapter 615: 3- 4 Min

Ending: 1:25 Min

I doubt it. The main thing with Neji's death was that Kishi didn't make him a character that had an attachment on a large enough scale, so when his death arrived, it didn't get the same kind of feedback a death from Kakashi or Lee would have had, or what Jiraiya had. I feel as though if the anime tried to squeeze in more development, it'd feel rushed and just that, squeezed. It's not impossible, mind you, but I don't see it happening.

Not really, when you basically add 3 chapters without prolong the scene or add extra content like last episode with Kakashi determination, that was basically rushed.

I hope they add filler contents to prolong the episode. I didn't feel sh*t when Neji died in the manga. Hopefully, the animators add more scenes regarding him and his death to make the whole scene appear more emotional.

Yea I hope he gets some extra fighting scene and his build up that would lead up to his deaths cause I was so pissed when he died like that in the manga =/
