Thanks to Blue from NF for locating the staff, and it did not disappoint. Now we have acomplete schedule. All 3 finale episode sin a row are confirmed to be A+ quality.



#000 (September 15) - NO EPISODE
#000 (September 22) - NO EPISODE
#46-477 (September 29) "The Final Battle"
#478 (October 06) "Unison Sign"



STAFF: 476-477
Storyboard/Episode director/Animation director- Hiroyuki Yamashita


STAFF: 478
screen play/Storyboard/Episode director-Toshiyuki Tsuru
Animation director-Toshiyuki Tsuru/Hiroto Tanaka




Hiroyuki Yamashita handling the entire fight solo is a miracle, as he is a master at action sequences.
Samples of his animation can be found in these videos, but these viddeos are old so some of his best stuff is missing.



Toshiyuki Tsuru is a master of emotional scenes, and has been around since the beginning of part 1. I suggest referenceing episodes 17*19 in part 1, and 82&166 in part 2 for some of his work.

A two week break is definitely worth the wait when you get TWO episodes by Yamashita in one day, then Tsuru on the next week.

Not all 70 chapters, but I think it should be the end of chapter 698. I'm curious if they will follow 699-700, or if they will expand on them.

What about the rumor that 480 is the last episode?

With 478's title, the episode is expected to at least cover up to parts of 699 (if not completely) or, maybe it's just a reference to the blood link at the end of 698. If it's the former, then, I don't know what they are gonna do with 479-80 lol

I started that rumor/theory at the beginning of the Kaguya arc. I had several reasons to think that the series would end on September 29th with episode 480. However there was no way I could anticipate these 2 breaks, so they brple ,y tjepry/

Anyways that was just my theory, Pierrot hasn't said anything yet.


Also interesting to note that episode 480 is actually episode 700 of Naruto (mirroring 700 manga chapters).

I think you didn't see it, the title for 480 is "Unison Sign".

The title for 479 is unknown, but I don't think it's really relevant.

Wait a minute...
Latest episide was 475 how did it jump suddenly to 478?? What about 476 and 477?

700 chapters of the manga. 220 episodes of Naruto + 480 episodes of Naruto Shippuden = 700 episodes of the anime

All those fillers we've had to endure over the years amidst the canon episodes was all planned from the very beginning to end the anime on that magical number of 700. ;)

It doesn't look like that will happen anyways. As of right now Naruto Shippuden is still retaining its title and time slot. This makes it appear they have it in mind to animate the novels or some other filler before moving on to Boruto timeskip.

glad that one of the best animators to have worked on naruto fights will be handling the final battle.
