VerifiedThis episode basically the nine tailed beast just reflecting Naruto's experience and kind of proud of him. I can say this is character development. This is recommend to watch.

the part where son goku realizes naruto is different from other humans made me feel so good after seeing how poorly the tailed beasts were treated
cilan_339
you finally get to see how kurama was watching naruto suffer all those years and it makes the way he is changing his mind feel so earned
captain_keeta_278
I have been waiting for Kurama to stop being such a jerk and this episode really delivered on that front because seeing him reflect on Naruto's growth since he was a kid was actually pretty emotional, and it makes the bond they are building feel way more real, and Naruto jumping into the monkey's mouth was crazy too but the fox finally opening up made the whole episode for me
quincy_quiver
watching all those flashbacks again felt a bit slow but seeing things through the fox eyes makes it more interesting than just a normal recap
goshinki_251
all the reuse of old scenes was a bit much for me but it did help show how naruto actually earned the respect of the nine tails
haruka_tenoh
i thought naruto using that shadow clone in sage mode to reach the rods was such a smart move for him

Ugh, I was so ready for some serious action, but instead, they just threw in a ton of old scenes, even if they did look a bit shinier now. It's like, come on, I already lived through those moments once, I want to see what happens next!

Naruto, back then, hitting Kabuto with that Rasengan, still gets to me; I swear I felt a jolt watching it again, seeing his younger, kinda reckless self pull off something so huge. It just solidified my belief that his pure grit has always been his real power, not just the jutsus he learned later.

Ugh, I seriously waited all week for this? It felt like thirty minutes of just old clips, and I'm pretty annoyed they basically reanimated the entire show in one go instead of giving us something new. I was really hoping for some actual plot progression after that cliffhanger last time.

It was pretty moving to see Kurama finally understand he'd been right there with Naruto through every single rough patch and lonely night since he was a baby, you know? Like, *he* was the one witnessing all that pain, and I just get the sense this realization is gonna totally change how he sees Naruto, and himself.

My patience was really tested this week, I mean, all that recycled footage just made it feel like a cheap recap instead of a proper new episode. It totally killed any momentum the story had built, and I was just sitting there wondering why I even bothered hitting play.

While those flashbacks felt like they went on forever, I was genuinely caught off guard by how much the little tailed beasts with the Sage of Six Paths pulled at my heartstrings. Seeing them so innocent and together really makes you think about all the loneliness and pain they endured later, which is just so incredibly sad.

Wow, Naruto actually using a shadow clone *inside* Son Goku to gather Sage chakra completely blew my mind; it’s such a brilliant tactical move I honestly didn't expect from him, especially remembering all those times he’d just rush in headfirst. I can really feel how much he’s evolved, not just in power, but in thinking ahead now.
happy_mask_salesman_270
My heart ached for little Kurama, crying all alone; no wonder he grew into such a grumpy, angry fox if that's how he started out. Then, when the Sage of Six Paths brought all the tailed beasts together, pure and peaceful, I found myself getting choked up imagining Naruto finally bringing that same dream to life.
menomaru
Dude, those baby tailed beasts being so full of personality totally changed how I saw them, especially Kurama. It hit me then that his soft spot for Naruto isn't just random; it's because he remembers what it felt like to be alone and ostracized, just like Naruto was growing up.
miraidon
Seeing little Kurama snuggled up with the Sage of Six Paths completely broke my heart; I just never pictured him as anything but rage-filled before. It really makes me rethink all his earlier hostility, knowing that losing that original family bond must've been so incredibly painful and shaped him into the lonely beast we met.

I was seriously ready for the war to kick into high gear, so all the flashback interruptions were definitely testing my patience. But then they threw in baby Kurama, and honestly, my frustration just melted away for a second—who could stay annoyed at that tiny fluffball, even if it meant slowing things down again?
mamamu_yan
When Kurama finally acknowledged Naruto's grit as that seal began to loosen, I actually gasped a little – it was such a powerful moment I'd been anticipating forever. His internal thoughts confirming he now sees Naruto as an equal, not just some kid holding him captive, made me so hopeful for their future bond.
demyx
I was seriously impressed when Naruto used that shadow clone to pull the rod from inside the Four-Tails; it really surprised me how quickly he came up with such a clever solution under pressure. It's easy to just see his brute strength, but this just proves he's got brains too, which honestly, I sometimes forget.
EPISODE CONTEXT
