Verifieda filler flashback where naruto gets chased around for an entire episode because of some virus nonsense, feels like the writers ran out of ideas and watched a zombie movie instead - the premise is so forced it's almost funny but mostly just drags
zashiki_zenin_96
The star village ending felt so weird and the humor at the very end did not land well at all but seeing Hayate in the crowd was a nice touch for fans
michiru_kaioh_370
That final fight with Akahoshi went on for way too long and the pacing of this entire arc was just messy and finishing it means we can finally move on
sheik_263
I think I saw Zabuza and Haku in the background and it made me so confused since they died ages ago and it ruined the whole episode for me because the continuity is just gone
lana
Usually filler feels like a waste but the emotional payoff with Sumaru and his mother actually landed well for once
fireblight_ganon
Naruto not being able to stop Sumaru from lashing out after his mom died was a rare moment where things didn't just work out perfectly
modsoul_mystic
The truth about the star training being a complete lie made the whole arc so much darker and you could really feel the tension when Mizura was exposing the village secrets
tokay
I was actually happy to see Sumaru get some closure even if it was through a lot of pain and those other kids were real heroes for stepping up
notlem
Sumaru realizing his connection to his mother was severed in an instant made that whole scene feel so heavy and Naruto looked so helpless
chloe_344
The way Mizura almost died just to tell everyone the star training was a lie really saved this whole episode
yuu_ishigami
I know people usually skip the filler, but this Star Guard arc actually had a soul and seeing it end with Sumaru finding out the truth was heavy. My heart broke for him when he felt his mother pass away, and even though Naruto is usually good at talking people down he just couldn't fix this one. It felt like a real tragedy for the kid.
jiro_jolt_127
It was heartbreaking when the bond between Sumaru and his mother finally broke, and the way Naruto couldn't find the words to comfort him made it feel more grounded than usual filler
tellu
Seeing Hokuto and Mizura risk everything just to tell the truth about that star training really showed how much they care about Sumaru
mary_hunt
I felt so bad for Sumaru when he realized his mom was actually gone and Naruto trying to stop him from doing something reckless was just painful to watch
vicious_179
It took a while to get here and while the ending was okay I am ready to see Naruto get back to more important missions
fish_eye
Naruto smashing that purple star with his specialized Rasengan was definitely the best way to handle a villain as obsessed as Akahoshi
blue
The star training plot was a bit slow overall but seeing the kids suffer from the poisoning made it feel more serious than other fillers
anouki
I know people say skip the fillers, but this Star Guard Mission arc actually had some heart and seeing Sumaru find closure with his mom was nice. Naruto using the Kujaku-Rasengan was a cool visual change even if it is not canon, and the new ending song by Akeboshi is a nice callback to the start of the show
goku_guardian
Akahoshi was such a jerk for trying to use the star power to win, but Naruto breaking it into pieces was a great way to end the fight

Watching all the villagers turn their backs on Akahoshi once they saw the truth felt deserved after everything he put Sumaru through
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 183 serves as the finale of the Star Guard Mission filler arc, resolving the escalating conflicts built across the preceding episodes, including the tension-heavy 'Reunion: The Remaining Time.' With the arc's conclusion here, Episode 184 ('Kiba's Long Day!') pivots away entirely, returning focus to familiar faces from the main cast. At episode 183 of 220, the series is deep into its extended filler stretch before Naruto Shippuden.
