The Naruto Shippuden television schedule for April 2011 is out! Just like March, April looks to be quite promising, with intense battles and surprising revelations! Check out the episode titles, air dates, and our predictions below!
Warning: Major Manga Spoilers Ahead
Episode #205: Declaration of War – March 31, 2011
Before we can get to April, on March 31st there is also an episode! As you may note noted at the end of episode #204, Madara/Tobi makes an appearance at the Five Kage Summit. Well in episode #205, we predict he’s going to tell the Five Kage’s of his “Eye of the Moon Plan” so that he can obtain the Mugen Tsukuyomi along with the 10-tailed beast, Jubi! And of course we predict that Madara/Tobi will declare war on the ninja world.
Episode #206: Sakura’s Feelings – April 07, 2011
Sakura has been developing feelings for Naruto now that Sasuke is gone. We predict this episode will cover around chapters 469-70 of the Naruto manga where Sakura tells Naruto to forget about Sasuke. Not just because of Sakura’s developing feelings for Naruto, but because of what Sai said several days earlier – Naruto’s promise of saving Sasuke to Sakura has become a burden and is taking it’s toll on Naruto.
#207: A Bijuu vs A Bijuu with no Tail – April 14, 2011
This episode will cover the battle between Killer Bee and Kisame! It’s unlikely the episode will start or finish the battle since the manga covers the fight around manga chapters 468 – 473, but based on the title, it will cover it in some shape or form.
#208: As a Friend – April 21, 2011
Naruto doesn’t know the intentions behind Sakura’s feelings. We predict this episode will show Sai informing Naruto of Sakura’s desires to take down Sasuke herself as well as the Hidden Leaf Village’s consent to the Raikage to kill Sasuke. We’ll probably see Gaara in here as well since in Naruto Manga chapter 475, he says that he thinks of Naruto as a friend.
#209: Danzo’s Right Arm – April 28, 2011
Danzo’s always been an odd guy. We’ve seen that he has Sharingan hidden in his right eye, but what about his right arm which is covered with bandages? It’s likely Madara/Tobi will show up and we’ll see all of the Sharingan’s Danzo has on his right arm!
So in summary, the next five episodes of Naruto Shippuden based just on the titles, seem as if they will cover Naruto Manga chapters 467-475. The dates above are all actual, but the titles are translations and may change once they are officially released on Hulu or Crunchyroll. It’s a good chance though that the titles will be similar. As for our predictions, they are just that, and may not be what’s in the episodes. We’re only making an educated guess based on our experience reading the great manga known as NARUTO!
