After quite a while, we've finally reached the ending of Naruto Shippuden for the anime. Instead of the disappointing Kaguya fight, we get Naruto vs Sasuke, hoorah!
Anyways, I wasn't sure what I was expecting from Studio Pierrot, but they certainly delivered. flashbacks were kept to a minimum, the animation was excellent at all times, and it stuck true to the manga(while idc if they add filler moments, it really wouldn't fit the last fight, y'know?). I didn't really expect Sasuke to use the jutsu where we uses lightning. It struck me by surprise, considering how the last(and only) time he used it was to kill Itachi. The moment where they both lost chakra and simply punched each other was pretty depressing if you ask me. Shows how much Sasuke wants to get rid of Naruto.
Speaking of losing chakra though, I am seriously shocked that Sasuke wasn't able to kill Naruto. The rinnegan, sharingan, and the tail beast's powers should definitely be more than enough for him to kill someone who only has half a tail beast's power. truly shows how much people underestimate Naruto's ability.
As for rating these 2 episodes, they're easily both 10's across the boards. After a lackluster finish to the war, a satisfying fight with great execution was delivered to us(and in the form of a 1 hour special- woohoo).
All we're waiting for is the last episode, which will be called "The Unison Sign". Being a person who's only watched the anime for the majority of part 2, I must admit that I'm satisfied with Naruto Shippuden. Can't really say I hate anything from it besides the second arc and the fight with Kaguya. Besides that, it's been something that'll be a great part of my childhood. naruto, dragonball, fullmetal, death note- such great shows. Sad to see another memorial anime finish.
