EPISODE REVIEWS

Akahoshi killing the Third Hoshikage just to keep the star training going makes his obsession with power just disgusting

Episode Context

Positioned as the middle chapter of the Star Guard Mission filler arc, this episode follows 'Hidden Jutsu! The Price of Ninja Art: Kujaku,' which exposed the physical dangers of star training, and now digs into the political and historical layers behind those dangers. It directly sets up 'Reunion: The Remaining Time,' where the personal fallout from these revelations hits the characters hardest. At episode 181 of 220, this sits firmly in Naruto's extended filler stretch before the series finale, well removed from any canon material.
