VerifiedI think this episode really created an eerie feel to the start of shippuden.
The teaser of Naruto and Sakura coming to find Sasuke and end up fighting him was amazing

VerifiedThe first scene of finding Sasuke is the most hype here. Other scenes showing peaceful moments in Konoha and showing each character doing something are immersive.

Verifiedএত সুন্দর শুরু মনে হয় খুব কম আনিমেরই আছে। এটা অবশ্যই আগের নারুতো থেকে চলছে তবে এত ভালো ভাবে বড় নারুতোর প্রত্যাবর্তন দেখানো হয়েছে যে মনেই হবে না একটা আনিমে শেষ হয়ে আর একটা শুরু হল। আর তার সাথে সুন্দর মিউজিক্যাল পরিবেশন তো রয়েছেই। পেস ও আনিমেশন খুবই ভালো পর্যায়ের রয়েছে এই এপিসোডে

So Nostalgic

Sasuke literally walked into the fox cage and suppressed the chakra like it was nothing and that just shows how terrifying the sharingan has become now
luck_lightning
I can't believe Sasuke really suppressed the Nine Tails just by looking at it and he looks so much colder now with that sword
wobbuffet_346
Naruto grew up so much but he is still using the sexy jutsu the second he gets back and Sakura is definitely even scarier than before
zettai_zetsumei_20
The animation for that opening crater scene was really good and you can really feel the tension between the old teammates. Sasuke has that cold look in his eyes and he looks dangerous
yami_yamato_140
Seeing the old faces like Izumo and Kotetsu sleeping at the gate felt like no time had passed at all. The village looks great after the repairs and Naruto jumping onto that utility pole was the perfect entrance
king_engine_120
The transition from that dark hideout back to the sunny streets of the village was a bit jarring, but I really enjoyed the balance. Sasuke looks absolutely lethal with that sword and seeing him suppress the fox like it was nothing was chilling. I just hope Naruto has some new tricks up his sleeve besides a taller frame for this test against Kakashi.
mihaelsss
Konohamaru thinking he can be the Seventh Hokage while Naruto is the Sixth is actually the cutest thing ever. The kid has so much spirit and it shows how much everyone in the village respects Naruto now
igos_du_ikana
I felt so good when Kakashi walked through that door with his book at the end. My heart sank during the opening scene with Sasuke but seeing the squad back together makes me feel like they can win
binbogami_buster_29
Sakura punching Naruto into a fence for that transformation is exactly what the show needed to feel like home again. It is good to see the old team back together, even if Naruto is still a total idiot.
gobta_goblin_154
The way Sasuke didn't even blink while looking at the Nine-Tails was so intense and his speed is actually terrifying now. That flash forward at the start was such a trip because he seems like a different person
daemon_coder
I missed the classic theme songs but seeing Naruto stand on that pole and shout to the whole village made me so happy. It feels like he finally grew up a little bit until the sexy jutsu started
raifort
Sasuke looks so different and cold now and seeing him just walk into Naruto's head to crush the Nine-Tails' chakra was insane. He really isn't that little kid from the academy anymore and that sword is scary
zashiki_zenin_96
Naruto has a black and orange suit now and he looks like a proper ninja even if he is still doing that stupid sexy jutsu thing
EPISODE CONTEXT
As episode 1 of 500, 'Homecoming' is the direct bridge from the original Naruto series into Shippuden, picking up after the two-and-a-half-year timeskip that followed Sasuke's departure. It functions purely as a re-establishment episode — reintroducing the core cast, their evolved dynamics, and the village's current state. Everything here is setup: the reunions and power reveals in this premiere lay the groundwork for the escalating threats and missions that will dominate the early arcs ahead.
