Nice beat, good lyrics, no macabre imagery...

Not bad, Toonami. [tup]

This is what I liked about Naruto! For all my criticisms of the franchise, when it does things right, it always feels so good!

Oh wow, he pulled the same trick he did in the Land of Waves arc. That's pretty nice.

@ Prime & Yakuzu: Exactly. Old tricks almost never become useless in this series, even with the power escalation in the later arcs. grin

Tell that to Dragon Ball, hue :V

But yea, for all of it's flaws (and there are a lot), Naruto does have a lot of great moments in spite of them.

It's something I'm a fan of in Naruto. That and I like how Naruto refines the rasengan as it goes on, with us seeing drawbacks to using certain versions and later techniques, like sage mode, solves previous issues so it's a viable technique. I'm fond of building on what you already have instead of adding new things.

...Plus it's Sanderson's Second Law, remembering those.

[up] All valid points. Like you said, it pretty easy to dog Naruto for certain aspects of the series, but what it does right, it often does quite well.

Well, I suppose I should be on my way out as well. See you all next week! smile

Goku used the afterimage technique against Frieza, something we hadn't seen since he fought Master Roshi at the World Martial Arts Tournament.

I could have sworn he used it against Cell.

He actually used it against both. A handful of villains, including the aforementioned Cell, also had access to the ability.

It's showtime!

And the "show" is basically a truncated repeat of their first fight.

Am I the only one who feels that there's something off about Golden Frieza's face being purple as opposed to the same color as the rest of his body?
