I'll assume Nyx personally dealt with the would be kidnappers after this.

He's obviously the type of guy to leave no loose ends.

Yep, they would have shot had he snapped.

Anyway, the Italian Dream picks up! Oh and we'll learn more of Rebecca's back story and relation to the dream soon. The dream mystery won't take too long to solve, but we've a few episodes before we're back on the trail. Next week is my least favorite episode of Series 4, but it's a fine episode. I'll describe it as...hmm...Lupin and Jigen treasure hunt while facing off against Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys. If my memory is solid. After that, Goemon spotlight episode then the one with Lupin, Fujiko, and Rebecca. Then 3 episodes of Italian Dream resolution then my favorite episode of this Part 4. Then the story keeps going from there in ways I can't say yet.

Next Italian Dream will feature the whole crew together, as well as Rebecca, and relate to her back story.

while facing off against Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys

I know this'll probably be a "sounded way better on paper" kind of episode, but that alone has me hooked. [lol]

It's really not bad or anything! I especially like the end of the episode. I was just hooked for more Italian Dream stuff during my first viewing.

[up] Yep!

Props to the best male supporting character in the series Shikamaru for vouching for Naruto.

[up] Just wait until you see Shikadai.

And thus Naruto meets one of the last living members of his family in the world.

Funny how neither realize that.

Also this cycle of revenge crap is bullshit when you think who would really avenge Nagato & Konon if they die. No one cause they never bothered connecting with anyone else aside from their village but even then the relationship is very impersonal.

It's funny how Shikamaru acts more like more like a best friend and brother-figure than his actual supposed best friend and brother figure ever did.

[up]It doesn't even work retroactively either. Shikamaru's vendetta against Hidan was partly due to revenge, and it nobody gave a shit when he died.

Its like if you kill Nagato of course Konan would avenge him but if you kill Konan then who would avenge her?

They only have each other at this point.

[up][up][up] Another byproduct of uneven writing, unfortunately. As much as Naruto makes a big deal of his friendship with Sasuke, he definitely visibly connected more with Shikamaru and Gaara than he ever did with the Sauce.

[up][up] Pleasebeoneepisode. Pleasebeoneepisode. Pleasebeoneepisode.

Ok, everyone. I'm out. See you next time. smile

Later

@slimcoder I was thinking the same thing. Who's going to avenge them? Whatever's left of the Akatsuki? Those guys strike me as too cutthroat to give a damn about him.

Seriously on the friend and brother front! Glad he becomes Naruto's second in command.

It's funny how characters outside the main cast, Hinata and Shikamaru, succeed at roles that would should on or are intended for Sakura and Sasuke.

[up] Indeed they do.

The morals this show tries to teach gets fucked up by incompetant writing.

You shouldn't have a cycle of revenge lesson if most of your antagonists are loner villains.

The Cycle of Revenge is also really flawed because most of the targets of said revenge are mass-murderers and terrorists that need to be dealt with anyway. Sure them somehow converting to the good side or seeing the error of their ways is ideal, but that rarely happens, if ever.

[up]x4 t's like some bizarre form of retconning, at first you'd think it's just Naruto and Sakura having some really strong Nostalgia Goggles, but it seems the story itself believes the three were the best of friends.

Before I go, I can confirm that Yajirobe did say that Senzu Beans taste like fish in the Funi dub of Dragon Ball.

[up][up] Yeah they could work together but most of the time they were arguing.

They weren't all that close with each other really.
