Neji's at his weakest point while Kidomaru's at his stage two form preparing his strongest blow. Neji cannot loose as he promises he'll defeat his opponent at any cost. But will the cost be too high or will Neji even have enough toll money to fufill that promise?

(Once again putting characters in spoiler tags. And with pics of them. Note that it goes in order of whose centreally fighting in which episode and then by the other squads central to the ep. Also note characters not in this arc anymore aren't put here. So without further adieu..

GROUP ONE: Our Combantants (The Ones who will be fighting in this ep)


hyuuganeji1.jpg

Neji Hyuga (Age: 13 Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Genin)
Neji (along with Rock Lee and Tenten) make up Gai's team of Genin trained for one year more then other rookies in order to sharpen they're skills. Though Neji lost at the Chunin Exams to Naruto he was able to let go of some emotional baggage about his clan and his destiny and strive to be better. Using the Byakugan along with gentle fist Taijustu Neji is a formidable opponent and a good choice to round out the team. His ocular jutsu allows him to look around and helped get the team out of some tough spots. Now he's elected to stay behind in order to defeat one of the sound nin. Despite being powerful, a blindspot around his cervical vertebrae (along with the tactial cunning and power of his opponent) has pushed Neji to his limit. Will he still be able to win though...

VS



kidoumaru1.jpg

Kidomaru (Age: 14. Allegiance: Sound Village. Rank: Jonin).
Kidomaru is the six armed spider web spitting member of the sound four. He was the only seen using his specific jutsu all the way back in the leaf invasion arc and has since used it to help trap the Sasuke Retrevial Squad once before. Shikamaru notes he seems to be the brains of the group and like the others seems to have two levels of curse seal (as well as the ability to summon an actual spider) to increase his power. Kidomaru's going to use his strongest attack on the young leaf nin. Will it be enough or will Neji still be able to win?

GROUP TWO: SASUKE RETREVIAL SQUAD (The five man (now three) man squad assigned with tracking Sasuke down and bringing him back to Konohagure).


uzumakinaruto2.jpg

Naruto Uzumaki- (Age: 12, Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Genin):
Naruto is the main protaginst of this show. The "Number One Hyperactive Ninja"s main goal is to become the greatest hokage the hidden leaf village has ever had and gain the respect of everyone. He's fought some pretty tough opponents in his past (and mastered some pretty powerful jutsu along the way, including the Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Summoning Jutsu, and the Rasengan) and proved stronger then Sasuke in they're match. Now he's going on a mission to bring back Sasuke from the Sound Four. But he's not doing it alone. He's part of a group assigned to bring Sasuke back (operating as the quick reflexes and sometimes keen battle strategies with his combination of Shadow Clones and Rasengan attack, as well as having the most faith his companions will make it) being led by...

narashikamaru2.jpg

Shikamaru Nara (Age: 12. Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Chunin)
Shikamru is the brains of Team 10 (which consist of him, Ino Yamanaka and Chouji Akamichi). Despite appearing to be very lazy and slothful, Shikamaru is a genius shadow weilding ninja with an IQ over 200. He was also the only genin who actually passed the recent Chunin exam. He may consider things a drag but he'll give his life to complete a mission. The leader of the squad he was able to piece together an order in which the others should go as well as figuring out they may have to take out one of the sound four one on one. (which is what it seems to be, espically with that happening for the last two battles). Rounding out the rest of the dwindling team...

inuzukakiba1.jpg

Kiba Inuzuka (Age: 12. Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Genin)
Kiba is the unoffical "leader" of Team 8 (The other trio of rookie genin alongside Naruto and Shikamaru's group). He may be cocky and gloat about his strength but he will admitt when a foe is vastly supeior to his own strength. Together with his faithful dog Akamaru Kiba can use powerful Taijutsu attacks to double attack his foe and bring them to they're knees (even though his Taijustu is weaker then Choji's technically). He also has an incredible keen sense of smell, which will be useful on the mission as he is tracking down Sasuke and the Sound Four's scent in order to find him. Speaking of them...

GROUP THREE: Sound Four (More like Sound Two. Orochimaru's elite team who are assigned with bringing Sasuke back to him as soons as possible.


tayuya1.jpg

Tayuya (Age: 14. Allegiance: Sound Village. Rank: Jonin).
The Only female member of the sound four (as well as the only one who we haven't seen in any sort of battle yet) she's the one currently carrying Sasuke. She also seems to have a habit of insulting and berating her opponents and teamates, trash talking as much as the language barriers will allow on English Naruto.

sakon1.jpg

Sakon (Age: 14. Allegiance: Sound Village. Rank: Jonin).
The leader of the Sound Four, Sakon seems to have quite mysterious powers (and was able to deflect all of Sasuke's blows when fighting him somehow). Sakon seems to enjoy cracking the ribs of his opponent but also does seem to be an effective leader from what we've seen despite this "flaw".

OTHER CHARACTERS:
None really. Just our battlers really this time around.

Please don't spoil people. Espically this episode on the 116 talkback okay?

NOTE ONE: This aired with Episode 116 In Japan as a special one hour special. Cool they're actually airing these episodes together in the dub as well.

NOTE TWO: Cartoon Network's current Toonami schedule (sadly could change at any moment depending on CN's random whim).

9:00PM: Naruto (New Episode)
9:30PM: Naruto (New Episode)
10:00PM: One Piece (New Episode)
10:30PM: Dragonball Z (Perfect Cell Saga Repeat. Not this week's ep is probably going to be the wrong episode if the CN.com schedule holds).

Well that's it. Enjoy Everyone!

Heh, That has got to hurt.

Woah, for a second there, It looked like the arrow went through Neji's head.

That would be AWESOME if that happened.

And Kidoumaru falls right into Neji's trap. He goes through so much pain, but he manages to pull down Kidoumaru.

Of course, he's in a horrible condition now.

Anyone else find this anticlimactic again. I mean couldn't it be Neji doing the trigrams to finish him off,not shoot some chakra through a thread.

Neji took down Kidoumaru with a badass flurry of attacks.

What an awesome fight, and Kidoumaru gets killed by his genius.

Neji doesn't really have enough chakra left to pull off a Hakke Rokujuuyonshou.

Neji, stop preaching and stab Kidomaru in the face with a Kunai or something.

Somebody please give me a show that I won't ever regret watching.
Samurai Champloo, $5 on Apple TV. I know the series is 20 years old which is, like, 100 years in anime world, but definitely worth the buy!
I now genuinely want to see Steve Blum voice Kermit in something official. He is spot on.

I just saw this on Reddit and instantly thought of you. ;)

Least favourite cartoon?


For me it's Poochini, I dislike the torment that Poochini goes through most of the time.
