QUICK TAKES

This episode is such a great plottwist! How Ibiki came with that trap question is a masterpiece

uncultured_bovine

Naruto is such a wild card. Can't wait to see how the next episode goes. You'll never know what to expect of him

Ibiki's design and whole character are like two sides of the same coin. It makes you think what he's been through, but the way he taught these kids what's important shows his maturity

The reveal here still hits hard, even when you're just rewatching. Amazing storytelling!

The proctor's explanation gives the narrative a slight push as audiences can now relate to the test’s objective. Failing and passing was a relative idea compared to the real-life scenario these ninjas will face on the field - this message is greatly displayed. The flow was swift.

Naruto's speech here hits different. The 10th question gambit is pure psychological chess and Naruto's answer is loud and stupid and perfect. Ibiki's reaction says everything. This ep earns all its hype. Captures exactly what Naruto is about. Watch~! ^^

Kankuro using a puppet disguised as a proctor was such a clever way to cheat and it makes you wonder how many other teams were doing crazy stuff while Ibiki just watched

Naruto slamming his hand on that desk changed the whole energy of the room and he was failing the test but he still refused to run away or give up on his dream

I expected Ibiki to ask a really hard question at the end but the test was actually about having guts and Naruto slamming his desk showed he has more than anyone else in that room

Sakura almost quitting to save Naruto shows how much she actually cares about him even if she acts annoyed and my favorite bit was Naruto standing tall and being so confident

The way Ibiki explains that the first nine questions were bait for cheating is genius, and it makes so much sense for a ninja exam

Ibiki showing those scars on his head was a dark turn and it really puts into perspective what these kids are signing up for because that tenth question was no joke

I was actually so nervous when Naruto started lifting his hand but then he just shouted down the whole room and it completely changed the mood of the exam

The way Ibiki explained that the tenth question was a total bluff makes so much sense, because a ninja can never just walk away when things get difficult

Kankuro using a puppet to cheat right under the proctors noses was such a bold move and it was funny seeing Ibiki just let it happen

Those scars on Ibiki's head were actually terrifying and it made the whole exam feel so much more dangerous

You can really tell the show is ramping up now that they are standing at the gate of the Forest of Death and Anko seems like she is going to be even more intense than Ibiki

franky_fiesta_65

Seeing Ibiki take off that head protector and show all those scars was a massive reality check for how scary being a ninja actually gets

My heart was actually hurting for Sakura because she almost gave up to save Naruto from losing his dream and then he just screams his head off and saves the day

It is hilarious that Kankuro used a puppet disguised as a proctor to cheat and Ibiki just let it happen because that was the whole point of the test
