Naruto Shippuden Episode 470 Review

Connecting Thoughts

I don't think I've ever made a Naruto Shippuden Review before. Probably because of it's 75% amount of fillers and extras in the series. I waited for this episode and it finally came out. Let's get started.

It continues where the battle was last seen. Naruto and Sasuke in the midst of battling Kaguya. They're now in a snowy and icy dimension and Zetsu suggests that Kaguya separates the two to make it easier for her to kill them. Sasuke was sent to another dimension in an instant, leaving Naruto to face Kaguya alone. The new intro starts and the story resumes.

Obito's determination to die for ninja history

Obito's plan is to retrieve Sasuke from the other dimension. The problem was that he didn't have sufficient chakra to get there and back. Sakura and Naruto's clone offers him their chakra and awaits for Kaguya to open another portal. Naruto continues his battle while thinking of a plan to get Sasuke back. Naruto follows Kaguya into another dimension. Apparently this dimension directly leads to all five different dimensions Kaguya has created. She decided to kill Naruto there and ended his life. Sakura and Obito return from their hiding spot which was in Obito's dimension. They were relieved when they saw that it was only Naruto's clone who got killed and the real Naruto was still back in the icy dimension where Kakashi is.

A short scene of Sakura's determination was shown in the episode. A few flashbacks of her wanting to get stronger. Kaguya then returns to where she and Naruto had last fought and was surprised to see the clones still up and about despite killing the original. We were shown that the original Naruto wasn't the one who entered but his clone who was with Sakura and Obito. The clone offered to stay behind as a distraction while Obito and Sakura hide and thus why Zetsu mistook the clone as the original. While the real Naruto distracts Kaguya, Obito and Sakura went on to finding Sasuke as Obito opens different portals and tries to sense for the Uchiha there.

In the next scene Sasuke is seen to be in a dessert dimension. Meanwhile Zetsu points out that the original Naruto was the only one who had the 'truthseekers' around him. I'm just guessing that those are the orbs that float around him. Obito and Sakura finally found Sasuke but Obito had overused his Mangekyo Sharingan and had to rest for a bit. Luckily Sasuke had gotten in before the portal closed and caught Sakura who's fading in and out of consciousness from lack of chakra. Sasuke explains to Obito how he got there with his new abilities and the episode ends there.

Sasuke catching Sakura before she falls

The story is getting better so far. It's been following the manga this time and hope it actually finishes the series this time rather than stalling around with more fillers. This episode satisfies the Naruto fan's quench for an official episode. The last episode was pretty interesting. It was a filler but I guess it was inspired by Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto Spin-off they gave at the entrance of the Naruto Museum in Japan. I heard it's only given to a few people but contents show that Kakashi's face was revealed. In the last episode, we were shown a full blown picture of Kakashi's face. I think it's classified as a filler but at the same time I don't think so because Kakashi's real face was right there.
