Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 129 & 130
Infiltrating Amegakure
Jiraya’s Decision
The special starts with a little recap on the whole series, focusing on Sasuke and Naruto’s will, handed down to him by Jiraya. Anyway, Jiraya infiltrates the Hidden Rain but, Pain notices immediately. Later on, Jiraya confirms that Hanzou, the powerful Rain leader has been defeated by Pain and that the constant rain is in fact Pain’s jutsu. This just goes to show how damn strong he must be.
Jiraya captures some genins for interrogation and new awesome OP appears. About the song, not much to my personal taste but, the video itself is awesome. Really well animated, really stylish with a lot of brutal scenes about some stuff to come, always without being too much of a spoiler for those that don’t now.
Back to the episode and by the way, "Konan" said out loud sounds really funny in Portuguese. Anyway, Jiraya sends the Kyuubi’s seal key to Naruto, in case he dies. More theories about the first Kyuubi’s attack and a lot of stuff are shown. This is scene made me remember something important concerning the current developments of the manga, about "that" jutsu Jiraya mentions.
Anyway, they talk, Nagato explains his plans. Whatever happened to Nagato, really changed him. It doesn’t look like Jiraya will try to talk him down anymore, he’s just going to try to defeat/kill him. Can’t wait for the fight.
The animation really surprised me, the whole episode had beautiful art and nice animation. I hope the rest of the fight gets this treatment, because it will be epic.
I liked the ED, not much for the music but, the art was cool.
This was an awesome episode, even with the minor filler. The next one seems on par with Sasuke’s fight with Deidara, really can’t wait.
