EPISODE REVIEWS

My heart sank when Jiraiya spent all of Naruto's hard earned cash on those women and drinks but seeing that Rasengan for the first time made up for the whole thing because that move looks absolutely incredible

Episode Context

Coming directly off the emotionally charged 'Hate Among the Uchihas: The Last of the Clan!' (Episode 85), this episode pivots sharply from Uchiha darkness into Naruto's personal growth arc under Jiraiya's mentorship. It serves as the launchpad for a dedicated training sequence, with the next episode, 'Keep on Training: Pop Goes the Water Balloon!' (Episode 87), diving deeper into the specific challenges Naruto faces. At episode 86 of 220, this is a well-placed turning point that shifts the series' focus toward building Naruto's next major ability.
