LMAO this This fillers is way better compare to this load of shit we got in the kaguya fight in the manga
Reserve judgement until the Kaguya fight is animated. Which should be happening as soon as this filler is over. Let's see we still have Team 8's fights, Team 10's fights, Fuu's story, the final round tournament and then results. Oh goodie! This could last for months

5/5 all the way. I really enjoyed this episode! In a lot of ways it reminded me of classic Shippuuden where the characters fought with intelligence instead of just blowing up mountains. The silent fist and muffling sound with chakra made sense, and the boxing part made sense too.

I knew some people would complain about Shira's version of the 8 gates, but to me it was fine. Having high amounts of oxygen in the blood can speed up the recovery process from conditions and can also give you a high/strong feeling. In the NV I would like to think that Shira can use this to help fight through demanding taijutsu moves and get stronger. Either way his technique was inferior to the 8 gates so I don't see a problem with it being shown.

4/5 episode. I like the taijutsu fight, albeit the filler 8th gates clone was silly. Also Shira closing points is BS, I swear no one gives af about the byakugan....Heck not even the sharingan can see the points, but Shira can close them......

I actually welcome these fillers. It's back to Naruto's original power scale. "fodder" level as some might call it. But the fodder fights were always the best fights, more interesting, tact filled fights.

I'll enjoy it until it's over and then I'll get hyped up about the Gai fight and so forth.

The episode was a lot better than most of the previous ones, I'll give it that.

Episode #402 is going to be a Kiba central episode, that sounds horrible
Episode #403 is going to be a Hinata centered episode, that could either turn out bad or good
Episode #404 is still unknown, but I would be ok with a Shino episode

And I'm really not looking forward to the Sakura/Ino/Chouji team, that sounds the most boring of all.

Ohhh Shit, I never expect team Kurenia fight is gonna last 3 episodes that are dedicated to each of the characters, this filler arc is extremely going to drag out, and yea the SakuInoCho are the most boring est squad, so yea I'm not really looking forward to this as well. Why don't you make a thread of this?

I think you missed the topic, I did make that thread over a week ago, to tell people team Kurenai will be fighting the Grass team for at least 2 episodes (402&403)

However episode 404 details are still completely unkown, not even a title yet. So I can not even say if it will be a Shino or Team 8 episode. I am only guessing that because it is logical, it would be really lame if they only give Kiba and Hinata a spotlight episode and pass up on Shino.
