SHIPPUDEN Episodes 179-181 (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)

I'm crying again .. am I alright? LOL dang... PLUS NEW OP/ED REACTION!!!!

Comments

Diver is a special OP, an resume about Naruto

Tsubasa Gintoki

flashback filler in shippuden is lit

C2.active

Diver is my favorite opening next to Sign, it perfectly summarizes the show's main theme with Naruto not giving up on Sasuke, even diving into the darkness to save him. Beautiful message.🩷

Sophie *-*

Kakashi took more interest in Sasuke then either Naruto or Sakura until Sasuke ran away to Konoha’s version of P Diddy

Nagato Sama

This is what is best described as cannon filler...

SKR_13

When Sasuke said “loneliness ..it’s far worse than feeling sad because your parents scolded you” was him acknowledging and basically sticking up for what Naruto goes through because he is now alone since the death of his clan. I didn’t realize that until just now 🥹🥹. I love this show so much

Killua Big Sister

Yo Flexie you had me dyin! Once the Elders told the 3rd "It shouldn't have taken you so long to designate team leaders" your "Okay, shut the fuck up" had me dyin lol!

Christopher Velasquez

This op is my favorite one by far. I see it as Naruto is drowning under the pressure of everything but with his friends helps get out of it but Sasuke doesn't have anyone which is why he is still sinking and drowning and Naruto is the only one that can save him. His only friend.

Adriano Regis

Oh thank you so much ☺️ .

Fio

The best op of this show🔥

Calvin Loudry

Dont worry girl you’re not too emotional, this show does this to us. I’ve watched it like 3 times and I cry myself to sleep every night watching it again with you 😅

Kauê Martins

Long live the fascists!!! Silly child having to bring your political views to a comment section about anime. Here's a thought: Tsunade and Naruto and the gang would be considered Republicans and Danzo and the 2 old farts are Democrats.

SixsicSix

I think this is why shes the only reactor ive ever subscribed to on patreon.

Robert Ebey

Im so excited! I just finished my Flexie Naruto binge today. Perfect timing for this video. So excited to be on this journey with everyone.

Robert Ebey

Love this OP for sure, nico touches the walls hell yeah too good

bbyjason

I totally agree, my first time years ago I also watched with all the fillers and watching again is very special. Your english is great as well, i learned spanish pretty well(at least i hope lol) so i understand the struggle

bbyjason

A great opening, so many feels. My heart

Fio

Flexie, you remind me so much when I saw Naruto first time (all of it with the fillers) and i have so many feelings... I saw other reactors and I have to say that you are PERFECT. The way you doing this is so great. Im really happy that i found you. Im from Perú (South América) Practice my english and love to see Naruto with you.

Fio

One of my favorite Openings from Shippuden great content as always 🫡

ToDDDD

He was almost adopted by Sasuke’s mom but they didn’t want the 9 tails in association/controlled by the uchiha. At least as far as I’ve read into.

henuhre

My favorite ED.. lets gooo Stoked for the next arc 🔥🔥

deranged but not really

this comment could have been written on any one of your videos, but i just wanted to voice how much we appreciate that you actually take the time and effort to analyze, contextualize, and attempt to relate to what happens in these shows. there are so many people in the 'reactor' space who have video after video of them just nodding their head or saying "wow" every few seconds, and watching a creator like you makes it painfully obvious how lackluster those other creators are. your critical thinking and media literacy is what keeps us coming back, and you have seriously been a breath of fresh air in this space. appreciate you!

spectral.mozzarella

Aye, and my comment does acknowledge this. He is the worst the Ninja system got to over *because* he lived by the Ninja system and it's code while simultaneously being egotistical, stupid & having an inferiority complex. His intentions are to protect the village though. He doesn't realize the harm he does towards the people he is trying to protect. Mainly because of his egotism...

Lighto San

Danzo literally created so many of the leaf’s problems in the long run

victoria t

hi key enjoying flexie's hate for danzo as each episode passes lmao

hoobity

I get leaders not wanting people to know he is Minatos child and I can't event empathize with the people in the village who are scared of him and ostracized him because of the fox (Keep in mind many people lost there loved ones and they have no idea if the fox was capable of reappearing randomly again.) But what is inexcusable is Naruto having to grow up on his own as an orphan. He should have been adopted by someone close to Minato or Kushina.

Enki

At least everything Danzo does he believes is for the best of the leaf village. Umbride is cruel and mean just because she enjoys it.

Enki

I think we were watching a different show because from what we saw she mostly saved the Shinobi and not very many of them at that. If a lot of civilians were saved it's because of the genin and other lower ranked ninja tasked with evacuating them through the secret tunnels. Tsunade only saved a portion of the Shinobu which would have been revived regardless of if they were saved or not. She is good for healing and could probably take on a couple of the pain puppets but that's it.

Enki

100% agree

Lighto San

The anime does Sakura so dirty, the animators ruined so many key scenes

victoria t

Absolutely this. 🔥 YES! Man it made me tear up it was so good. So simple and beautiful. Perfect

Jessica McCann

Negatory. More like the J.K. Rowling of Naruto. Makes up stories and pretends to be virtuous while condemning huge numbers of people to death and collaborating with fascists.

Mune Yotsuki

This made me laugh. Although I agree, I grew up in a generation without discussing feelings and it was immature to do so. Not true sure, but imagine a whole society where you are not supposed to have emotions and you are just a tool. 😳 But they do have one therapy Ninja, his name is on the title.

BoyBovine

Danzo is the Dolores Umbridge of Naruto

BoyBovine

well I do call it canon cause it factually is whether it is filler too or not doesnt really matter :D it is very interesting seeing all the politics and disputes following this aftermath :) unfortunately it does play into Danzo's hands :P lovely little scene with Shikaku and Asuma :) its great that they are giving us this extra background stuff :) I guess it makes sense to put Sakura with them since she is the most ordinary to balance it out :D Naruto using the Sexy jutsu against Sasuke was hilarious and ofc it had no effect xD this was a fun new perspective :) well you could say that now Sakura and Naruto have that brother-sister relationship :) what a blast from the past, Inari and Tazuna are back! its been like 4 years now when Naruto last saw them :D little Inari really grew up now he is a little man :) love that episode 180 was just an animation flex :D its THE OSTRICH! best character! xD kinda funny how Naruto was talking to that guy about revenge when you think about Sasuke and Itachi, like when Itachi taunted Sasuke about the lack of hatred...guess now Naruto understands better how silly he was back then as a child :P we got a bit of brotherly love there as well, episode 181 definitely feels like a nod to Sasuke :) Naruto acknowledging how he has learned a lot now and can understand Sasuke better that was dope :) it does feel like these eps are there for us to understand the past better and have a new view of things :)

Kisame

I swear watching all of Naruto with fillers included really fleshes out the world and characters which will definitely make it more emotional!!

dmc 1219

Danzo and the elders still make my blood boil to this day - imagine having a ticking time bomb in your village that's riding inside a young kid, who is the legacy of your late leader and hero of the Leaf, treated like absolute scum his whole childhood??? All the adults in the village should have made sure Naruto was raised and cared for by all. What a disgrace honestly, they let down both the Uchiha boys too...

DietPop

Also this is one of, if not my fave, Naruto openings!! Not only does it fully canonize the Naruto-Sasuke ship, but the symbolism of Naruto drowning in despair as Sasuke stabs him, then being literally uplifted by his friends and launched into the air, then willingly diving back into the darkness with conviction in his eyes - it really is the heart of the story summarized in one beautiful OP.

Daniel Lee

The return of the 1-month-old toddlers 😂

Daniel Lee

Also, just to add this as a second comment: The anime butchered Sakuras character. In the manga she is far more tolerable which is why manga readers usually don't hate on her nearly as much as anime watchers do, if at all. Studio Pierrot *loves* Hinata and *hates* Sakura even going so far as to influence how Kishimoto wrote certain parts of the story, clearly & extremely obviously going against his original intentions. I mean, come on. Naruto doesn't even talk to Hinata about her confession once and her "fight" with Pain was 1 panel long in the manga. There is an obvious huge disparity here.

Lighto San

For all of Danzos fault I think I should make 1 thing clear: When he talks about other people like the third Hokage being incompetent and similar stuff he is actually serious about it and he actually wants the best for the village. He is a despicable character, obviously, but when it comes down to it he just does what *all* Ninjas in this world are taught to do. It's people like Danzo who prohibit true peace from forming in this world and it is the cycle of hatred Nagato was talking about in action. Kindness = weakness and naivete in his eyes. And that is part of the Ninja code, detach yourself from all emotions. Become a cold-hearted weapon only out for succeeding the mission. He is naturally distrusting and as a Ninja, that actually should be his job, according to this world.. Kakashis teachings about teamwork are *not* taught to all Ninjas, not even close. The problem with Danzo is that nobody can actually truly detach themself from all emotions. It's the lesson Zabuza told us during the first arc. But the emotions which mainly drive Danzo are egotism and a big inferiority complex mixed with a decent amount of stupidity. But, and that's the point of this comment...even with these flaws he doesn't want any harm to befall the Leaf Village and his will to protect it is honest. Sure, he hid away while everyone upstairs was fighting Pain but he really couldn't expect that Nagato would be *this* powerful. From his perspective the option of no survivors being left alive wasn't even a consideration.

Lighto San

Most of the fillers got hella good animation ngl

Klizer

She did protect it. She saved the lives of the majority of the civilians in the village. Did you watch a different show? She acted as a healer first. All the people in the village would have died without her protecting them with Katsuya.

Matt Brock

All my homies hate Danzo

Klizer

Devil made me do it is the most ignorant mentality. Pain had every intention on destroying the village, it was a tactic not an emotional reaction. Even Shigamaru realized this.

BoyBovine

The leaf could have saved its self so much grief if it just had a therapy ninja for these people to talk to. also regarding sakura i could see hiruzen using her as a way to hopefully anchor sauske to the village. trying to use her infatuation with him to maybe get him to reciprocate and let go of some of his anger. its scummy but in the ninja world its not inconceivable.

Ben

There's one guy who can literally rebuild the entire village instantly 😂. You'll see the one person who can sell tailed beasts in a wholesale market.

Abinamikaze

I am so here for your beef with Danzo! That dude suuuucks.

Jason

Also the Tazuna/inari scenes and Naruto not understanding Sasuke scenes are manga canon mixed in with this filler

victoria t

Ugh Danzo you are the wooooooorst

victoria t

It's not Tsunade's fault. Pain has been thinking about it al a long since Yahiko died. Let's remember that Pain also said it was the land of fire why his parents died. He lost his way a long the line and he fully admitted that to Naruto as well.

K3npachi

Sakura makes sense to me being chosen for that team, having such a normal and easy life she really needed to learn a lot about what is really important in life, at the same time, while Sasuke and Naruto needed someone that could understand them, they also needed someone without so much trauma to balance it out. I think the 3rd's logic, based on his students, is that you can't have good ninjas/soldiers without them being good persons first.

Revian

16 episodes until 197

Hank yang

Sadly, we also have to deal with Condor the ostrich during this set of episodes. I am so sorry for your loss of braincells enduring that thing, but thank you for doing the Diver OP reaction. <3

Mune Yotsuki

yessss. here we go, Diver time.

Mune Yotsuki

Tsunade is the leader of the village and it's her job to protect it. She 100% failed on that front. As much as I like Tsunade as a character she seems too a bit too weak for the role.

Enki

These aren’t all filler the danzo stuff is important to the story skipping these episodes would have thrown you off later on

KK W

Our Tsunade made the best in Arc Pain. Love for her

Fio

Good morning Flexie! Time for me to brew some coffee and enjoy your amazing reaction! Also I'm so happy to hear that you got your Twitch account back!
