| Pretty good episode, liked the revelation of tobi's true identity and the end with madara was awesome. But those god damn flashbacks ruin the pace of the story and the overall experience of the anime. If there weren't so many flashbacks-fillers in Naruto it could have been the greatest shounen ever. |

| Interesting episode, honestly I saw it coming that Tobi is really Obito. Really looking forward to the next episode, looks like they will be explaining how he survived. Didn't like the change in voices for the flashback material. I feel that the previous voices used for young Kakashi and Obito had much more emotion and fit much better. |
 |
| Kakashi's and Obito's flashback voice changes were really disturbing during the episode. Adult Obito at least has his Onizuka voice. |
| Oh there it is, finally. There's that famous "You let Rin die" line as well. Madara's entry was awesome tho. |
 |
| Screw Obito! Madara arrives! |
Siddyus said: I have always suspected that Tobi was Obito, but at the same time I dismiss the thought since I thought it was absurd, until a few eps. ago. I was thinking that Tobi was another form of Madara or something, would have made for an interesting twist on how he was able to do that. However, Obito's reason for becoming evil would be interesting to know as well. I can't wait for next year. Just keep watching. What viewers are probably wondering is how the hell can some one like obito, some one that always believed his friends to the most the important in the shinobi world above all else suddenly become a insane manipulative instigator who only cares bout world domination. At least that is what i first surmised when i read this. Obito quote: "Those that break the rules and regulations are scum. But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum." This quote holds so much significance in mainly the developing of kakashi's personality and who he is and also obito ideal's. So how is it that kid who above all else cares for his comrades more then anything, suddenly turn rouge and ends up creating the akutski organization, orchestrating the many of the conflicts that sparked wars, etc. Why did he do so much damage to society and the shinobi world, when his ideal beliefs have always been to protect his friends and believed in staying true to the shinobi laws. anyways in the upcoming chapter you get alot of incredible insight into exactly what causes obito to become the man he in the present era. |

| There's lots of flashback but it is necessary not everyone remember every details about the anime, you know. Some people may have missed Kakashi's Gaiden episodes so they won't have any idea who Obito is. Madara came down like a meteor, how did he transport himself like that anyway? Klanma said: Easily 5/5 . I was fucking excited for Obito , IMO , he is the greatest villain in the manga/anime . Don't worry though , his reason is not Rin . You will see it later . Now regarding the episode , I agree that there were some bad animation faces , but it was phenomenal and amazing . I nearly cried when Obito was running in the start and no one noticed him , or they didn't want to notice him . It was such a lovely flashback indeed . That Katon though , it was awesome . And that Madara , I got goseboomps when he called Obito with the name "Obito" . I've never been this excited over an episode , this is on my top 5 eps of anime of all time . That's funny man, Obito is far from being a great villain. If you read the manga then you should know unless you like him too much you can't see his flaws. |

THIS. I was pretty much wondering the exact thing. How could his view upon life change so drastically? I want to find out now! Its taking everything I have not to read the manga, its so interesting. Guess I'll wait though :/ |

| That music when they revealed Obito was fkn haunting, so nicely done When Obito is like "Kakashi i think your a great jonin" and BOOM Kakashi and Obito as adults and Guys face. This is why i like the Naruto anime better than the manga. So well done i got chills. |
| Ufufufufufu... it begins.. Cool flashbacks, monumental fights, some kind of pee complex, etc. Lots of stuff that I can barely wait for! |

Grat episode we got a mini HxH Xover!! As madara landed I had goose bumps and with that badass Background music playing it was too much... 5/5 great episode! If I see someone putting up a post about how he is dropping shippuden I'm gonna tear him a new one. Seriously it just pisses me off. If you don't like it drop it and stop disturbing us!!! If you take time to examine Obito you would see his reason. HE IS ENTIRELY OBSESSED with Rin . I mean look at the flashbacks when he was staring at her. That was creepy! He is so obssessed that her death to him wasn't real to the point of making an alternate reality in which she is alive! THAT Guy is Creepy!!! And the funny thing is many villians are based on obssesion to a certain degree! |

| I used to hate Obito as a villain, but then when i started watching the anime from the Pain arc (i read the manga from there to the latest chapter, so it was my first time seeing the war animated), thats when i started liking Obito, and realized that my opinion was being swayed by the internet. Don't follow others opinion and make your own opinion. |
| I totally love that Madara show up. But it's the only plot thing that happened in whole episode. |
| Finally his identity was revealed in the anime :3!!! Good episode to end with new year but why voice actor changed ??-_- obito's voice is bad BAD but wow just be removing the mask his voice changed xD !! 4/5 , minus one because of long fillers and obito's voice the old one was better -_- |

So he uses his original voice |

| Yay, I was right! I knew it was him all along without reading the manga. Surprisingly, I liked the flashback when it was without any dialogue, they should've kept it like that.. |
| Awesome ep! Too bad the flashbacks fucked it up again. Other than that, loved it! DAT ending though! Too bad spoilers all over the place ruined all of this for me D: But it was rather VERY OBVIOUS Tobi was Obito. Hmm I am gonna miss the mysterious Tobi with his badass voice :/ |
xMGMx said: I totally love that Madara show up. But it's the only plot thing that happened in whole episode. So who cares, the reveal of obito is a HUGE twist in the story and this episode mainly focused on just that. The studio could of opted not to even include the arrival of madara, but they did making for a pretty cool cliffhanger, making you wonder, from the beginning obito and madara were working together in some elaborated scheme, that no one else knew? How is that possible since kabuto was the one to use edo tensei on him. How can a dead guy have a plan? Also wtf happened to the kage's. The tension starts to rise. |

Alot of people probably figured it out that way, but I remember some one used that in the forums and it was painfully obvious he was just laying it out their intentionally. Damn people trying to ruin everything, i sure hope the next big revelation does not get ruined by the fans or the studio |

| Awesome episode I feel like I will re-watch this one :). And wow the teaser for the next episode looks like Madara had some connection to Obito/Tobi after all. Edit: Forgot to say~ Lol at the Sims 3 soundtrack xD. (Or at least it's similar) |

| Obito...aaaah. Even with the explanation and stuff, I still HATE what they did with him. Hate. Hate. Hate. In my books, he should've remained dead, real villain should've been someone else. Uchiha clan has enough famous characters as is, there was no reason to turn one of the most loyal guys into main villain of the show. No matter the explanation, I still consider it the biggest bs this show has ever pulled. If I had to choose 1 person to be Tobi, it would've been Shisui. He had "brief" appearance, he "lost" both of his eyes and he was famous for his visual proves. He would've made way more believable villain. However, seems naruto is bent on turning incredibly good and loyal characters into villains after tragedies occur (Pain anyone?). Nonetheless, the show is gonna get interesting next few weeks, assuming they don't drop any fillers in between big stuff. |

As much as I hated it originally, and as much as I hate him as a character, I still don't think anyone would suit being the man under the mask other than Obito. Most of the theories were just about characters we knew nothing about, what could be more boring and anticlimactic than some random who we only know by name being under the mask? Obito was the best choice, the way Kishi handled him was wrong. |

link9us said: Took the words sorta out of my mouth.So i been meaning to ask this for a LONG TIME!! lol. Who here did NOT know tobi was obito or did not see it coming and HOLY HELL. i can FINALLY call him by his real name. OBITO!!! Instead of masked man, tobi, madara, "man with no name" and those other hidden alias that he used. So this episode was mainly only focused on obito's identity. Covering 2 chapters, not to bad. The ending was just like the manga pretty good way to end the episode. The studio added a bit of extra recap but nothing horrible, i mean when is the last time we have actually see obito, rin and kakashi's back story? OH yeah thats right. Like episode 158 or something. Although the cliffhanger I was referring to last week did not happen, but its ok it has good pacing. With madara showing up on the scene, that was the end of the chapter just like the manga, it was pretty great. Kind of makes you wonder, how did madara know who obito was the whole time? What is their connection exactly? The next few episodes is something i been waiting for a while to see animated. The back story behind Obito, rin and the battle at kanabe bridge, what really happened during that time. Should be some interesting insight into some more history, it certainly is a very important moment in the story line. and man, naruto just looks like a boss now with this full bijju mode. He reminds me of minato, he's just intense! |

| I do wonder what someone would think who hasn't read the manga and didn't see the spoiler thought of this chapter. Okay episode not great but not bad. |
 |
| Awesome!!!! |
| Finally the real fight begins. I can already see the ending of Naruto it's kinda making me sad. I've been watching Naruto since elementary and now i'm graduating from college. |

| Wow they actually went with the whole reveal here instead of milking it. Then they top it off with Madara, oh now the shit hits the fan. Now we can talk about him without spoilers. |

Essentially i think this 4th war is going to be the end of naruto, but it still has much development to go through in the anime and lots of information that has not been shown yet in the anime. Imo i think kishi will have some sort of time skip though, flashing forward to another last final mini arc or something, hopefully. kazerike said: I loved this episode, I think Naruto is reaching its climax and I'm glad to know that next month there will be fillers. :D What are you taking bout? Myrealm7 said: Anyone else thinks the new opening song is a total disgrace? Probably the most epic and tense arc of the series and they have that cheesy music playing along. God I hate it. New opening? This opening has been going on for quite a while, 13 episodes i think. Everyone was saying this opening was horrible but i am really starting to enjoy it alot. It was much greater then nico touches the walls imo. |

| That ending was remarkable. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| People that are watching/reading naruto, bleach, one piece, hunter X hunter, fairy tail. 2014 is going to be intense as shit for shonen's. Probably the best year for all these on gong series and manga. |
| |
| This episode could have been more epic if there weren't so many flashbacks. But Obito's voice is very good imo. |
