Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 116
Guardian Of The Iron Wall
This episode continues in the style of the previous one. Sasuke and Suigetsu’s relationship is given some little fillers that are fun and welcomed. By the way, the OP has been upgraded and has some very cool new scenes about the new arc.
There’s some more filler showing Karin’s character, mainly stuff that makes her look evil. Kind of a waste of time. Anyway, some more filler and flashbacks occur, all very cheesy. Also, I wasn’t expecting Karin’s voice to be so strong but, it suits her well.
Well, Karin ends up agreeing to go with them, because she’s in "love" with Sasuke.
Overall, it was an average episode. The animation was bad, although there was some good art. Still, the main drawback of the episode was the overall low quality of the filler material.
I’m sad to see that the next episode doesn’t seem to improve on the animation. This episode will have some very cool scenes and quick fights. I hope they don’t ruin it with low production values.
- Next Episode: Juugo Of The Northern Hideout
Well, at least Juugo’s voice was very good, so personally, I’m really looking forward to the next episode because of him.

The new Saske’s servent is Cool-Boy-Lover-Only like Sakura. I like Suigetsu.
