QUICK TAKES

I never thought Neji would look this beat up after seeing that spider guy find the tiny gap in his vision and now he is just bleeding out against a tree
ami_mizuno
Neji coughing up blood while trying to focus his chakra makes this feel so much more desperate than the Choji fight
nameless_neet
Kidomaru is a genius for figuring out the 360 degree flaw and those golden arrows are scary when you realize Neji can barely move his shoulder anymore
chrome_crafter_160
Kidomaru really found the one tiny spot Neji can't see and it made the whole fight way more stressful to watch because Neji is taking way too many arrows and it seems like he won't make it
theanimewarlord
The way Neji refuses to stay down even after getting pierced through the shoulder by that massive arrow shows why he was the top student in his year
charmy_chef
Nobody expected the genius of the Hyuga clan to have a literal hole in his defense and Kidomaru exploiting it with long range attacks is making this a nightmare
mary_hunt
That scene where the arrow barely misses Neji's vitals because he moved at the last second was way too intense and the way he uses the gentle fist to cut the webs is so cool
sailor_tin_nyanko_392
I honestly can't believe how much blood Neji is losing, and I'm worried he won't make it back to the village after this fight with the spider guy
tsuchigumo_temptress_71
Neji is really carrying this whole retrieval mission on his back and seeing him pushed to the limit against those gold arrows is brutal
sailor_neptune
Kidomaru is such a creep with all that gold spit and spider webbing, but you have to admit his strategy to find the blind spot was actually smart, and watching Neji start coughing up blood after that last arrow hit him made it feel like the stakes in this arc are way higher than anything we saw in the forest of death
aqua_archpriest
My heart stopped when Kidomaru realized the byakugan has a tiny blind spot because Neji was always supposed to be the perfect genius
mikau_281
Watching Neji take those direct hits from the arrows while he tries to find a way to counter that blind spot is stressing everyone out and the mission feels impossible now
shinnosuke_258
That six armed guy using his spit to make a literal gold bow and arrow is the grossest thing in the show so far and the fight feels like it is dragging because of all the technical explanation about the byakugan vision
kaito_kromatic
I really thought Neji was untouchable with that vision but seeing him get pinned by those spider webs actually scared me
silver
His plan to act as a target just to find the spider guy was such a gutsy move. He is literally ignoring fate and fighting for his life against such a cheap long distance fighter
juromaru_250
Sweat turning into armor is one of the weirdest things in this show. Neji is barely hanging on and it is stressful seeing him try to block those arrows when he can barely move his arm
ashiaraiyashiki
I honestly thought Neji was untouchable after seeing him in the Chunin Exams but Kidomaru is a complete nightmare to deal with. Watching Neji get impaled by that gold arrow really made me realize how high the stakes are for this mission, and I am just hoping he survives this because he has changed so much since he fought Naruto
subrosian_292
The animation during the hundred twenty eight palms was so fast and fluid. Neji is fighting like a monster even though he is bleeding out and that spider guy just keeps hiding in the trees like a coward
glenn_radars
It is wild how Kidomaru treats a life or death fight like a literal game, and his strategy to find the one weak point in Neji's vision was incredibly smart. Neji is clearly pushed to his absolute limit here
otomachine_oto_497
That spider guy is so gross with his spit weapons and his weird six arms. You can see Neji is struggling way more than anyone expected and that hit to the shoulder was hard to look at
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting deep in the Sasuke Retrieval arc, this episode follows the squad's split as each member takes on a Sound Four opponent, directly continuing from Neji's engagement established in the prior episodes. It zeroes in exclusively on Neji versus Kidōmaru, peeling away from the broader team dynamic to deliver a focused duel. The outcome here feeds directly into 'Losing is Not an Option!' (Episode 117), keeping the arc's momentum as the retrieval mission grows increasingly desperate.
