Naruto "Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters" Talkback (Spoilers)

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Japanese Title: Fight in Zero Visibilty. The Sharingan Crumbles.
English Title: Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters!

Last Time: Half an episode of recap, yay! After that, Naruto ruins his grand entrance by sneaking into the very mirrors Sasuke was trying to escape from. Haku gained his determination due to his desire to fight for Zabuza's sake. With both of the young boys trapped in the mirrors things are looking bleak, with Kakashi still up against Zabuza.

Tonight: Naruto and Sasuke are trapped inside the mirrors, while Kakashi can't help his young students. What will happen to the newly formed team. Is their fate death(ignore the 160 plus episodes and 280 plus chapters...)

Characters:
Naruto Uzumaki: Our loudmouthed protagonist, Naruto has grown up completely alone because of the 9 tailed fox sealed inside him. His one desire is to become Hokage and recieve the acknowledgment of the other villagers. He's rivals with Sasuke. Naruto has sworn to never go back, an Oath of Pain he took. His special technique is Shadow Clone Jutsu(Kage Bunshin no jutsu). Chakra control is a weakness of his, but he has managed to learn how to climb trees with his chakra. He's known as the Number One Hyperactive, Knuckleahead Ninja.

Sasuke Uchiha: The last survivor of the Uchiha Clan, the clan which held the legendary Sharingan Eye, Sasuke is an avenger who seeks to destroy a certain man. He's the top student from Naruto's class, and he immagines himself as above all of his peers. In truth, he is. He is Naruto's rival, and managed to get the first leg up in their rivalry with his quick acting against the Demon Brothers. Sasuke is surprised to learn that Kakashi has a Sharingan in his left eye. Together with Naruto, he helped carry out the plan to free Kakashi. He also managed to take out ten of Zabuza's Water Clones. His special technique is Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu(Katon, Goukakyu no jutsu).

Sakura Haruno: Naruto and Sasuke's teammates, Sakura has a crush on Sasuke, and finds Naruto annoying. While she has book smarts, her field abilities are very low. She has the greatest chakra control out of her team, however. She's rivals with her friend Ino Yamanaka.

Kakashi Hatake: A jounin, Kakashi has never passed a team of genin before. Almost all of his friends are dead. He places a heavy emphasis on teamwork, and believes those who abandon their friends are worse then scum. He is well known amongst both allies and enemies as the "Copy Ninja", and he has a Sharingan in his left eye, which he normally keeps concealed. Kakashi has great faith in his subordinates.

Zabuza Momochi: Known as 'The Demon of the Mist', Zabuza has been sent to take care of Tazuna. Zabuza is a rouge ninja from the Village Hidden By Mist, who specializes in Silent Assassination. Zabuza is infamous for killing 100 academy students when he was just one himself, and is the reason that the Village Hidden By Mist changed their outdated methods. Haku faked killing Zabuza to save him from Kakashi, and now Zabuza is eager for a rematch.

Haku: Zabuza's young ally, he looks and sounds like a girl, and worships Zabuza like a hero. He led a very tough childhood, and was rescued in a way by Zabuza. He gains strength by fighting for Zabuza's sake. Haku is a very talented ninja with the extremely rare ability of one handed hand signs, and he can create his Crystal Ice Mirrors and take advantage of extreme speed.

Tazuna: A world renowned bridge builder from the Land of Waves, Tazuna requested protection from thugs. However, he left out the fact that there would be enemy ninjas after him as well.

Iruka Umino: The chunin instructor of Naruto's academy, he lost both his parents to the monster fox. Iruka has a special interest in Naruto, whom he is a defacto father figure for.

3rd Hokage: The wise leader of the Village Hidden By Leaves, he is the strongest ninja in the whole village. He looks out for all of the villagers, and is revered by everone.

Other characters: Mizuki, the evil instructor who manipulated Naruto and attacked Iruka. Konohamaru, the Hokage's grandson and Naruto's rival, and his teacher Ebisu, an elite trainer who despises Naruto. Additional characters include the other classmates of Naruto, Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Chouji Akimichi. Gouzu and Meizu, the Demon Brothers, were Mist Ninja under Zabuza's control who were defeated by Kakashi. Gatou is the rutheless businessman who employed Zabuza, and deals drugs and other illegal items, working based on fear. Tsunami and Inari are Tazuna's only family members, and Inari was very bitter towards anyone who thinks they can be a hero, however Naruto managed to show him that there are real heroes.

How about we just let Kuwabaraman have the Naruto talkbacks? No one ever competes this much for posting talkbacks for the other shows, so no need to do so for Naruto.

[HellCat]

Indeed, he posesses a fearsome bloodline limit which enables him to to know exactly when to start the talkback. This power....a man could go mad trying to best it!

[RomanMack]

Most likely he just stays on the website for the last few minutes until it strikes 12.

But if that works for him let him do it.

It's getting quite annoying having two talkback threads of the same episode every week.

I agree Kuwabara does a good enough job as it is:anime: ... CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zmanjz]

Yeah... after last week, I'm feelin a little embarassed at what Naruto did. He could really use some lessons in strategy.

[Sr.Infierno]

So I havent caught a new Naruto episode in a while..

Random Thought: I can barely watch this show thanks to Toei's EXTREMELY LAZY use of still frames. It's rediculous

[jv2k]

Wow they kicked up the animation an notch since last week, thats not to say its great its still kinda bad, but its watchable and Kikashi and Zabuzas mouths move now.

[Teek]

It's not Toei, it's Studio Pierrot and their revolving animation studios. You'll notice the animation quality will vary from episode to episode.

Which is one of the things that frustrates me about anime: The revolving of studios

[zmanjz]

Just when the fight gets good........

This is why Naruto should be an Hour block.

American cartoons do the same thing. For instance, both Teen Titans and Justice League use multiple studios.

if it was an hour block, we would run out of episodes to fast thus making a thing called the "rerun". anyway, mark your answer as a spoiler but. why did sakura scream?

There was a blood spurt in the original (I didn't catch it in this version I don't think), so someone got hit by Zabuza's cleaver.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Wow i really love this show..
The ending scares me a little...the sound of blood splatering and a scream...,
never a good sign.

what happened with Kakashi and Zabuza before he lifted up the head band? i didn't quite catch were that blood came from.

it came from kakashis hand blocking the knife...

[jv2k]

Wow this episode is really different from the manga...

Note from William C. Maune: Post edited for spoilers.

Watch the spoilers folks. Many of us haven't seen future episodes or read the manga.

[jv2k]

There are over 200 episodes, even if they do an hour block it should take more than a year to play them all without a break. Man I hope they make toonami an every night thing...

[Teek]

Yeah (more or less 200, they're at 163 right now plus later animated manga chapters to come), but it has only recently been licensed, they can't dub and edit so many episodes that quickly to get it on at that rate.
