I like that we're slowly getting more highlights at what Naruto's co-rookies can do. The other teams look strong and villainous as well. Anko's character is intriguing too

They did a good job making the setting and gimmick of this test as scary as it should be. Can't wait to see more character showcases!

Episode Context

Episode 27 marks the transition from the first stage's written test into the physically brutal second phase of the Chunin Exam arc, one of Naruto's most iconic stretches. The psychological tension of the previous episodes gives way to survival horror energy, resetting the challenge entirely. This episode is the launchpad for some of the series' most pivotal early confrontations and character-defining moments that will unfold deep within the Forest of Death.
