Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 137
Amaterasu
So, it was still a gengutsu fight and Sasuke manages to dispel Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, he has become truly strong. He’s also lucky Itachi isn’t in his best shape. The real battle starts now.
Itachi tries for Amaterasu but, Sasuke manages to finally beat him with more shurikens. Itachi is even more weakened after having failer Tsukuyomi. They bring the fight outside with Katon until Itachi is forced to really use Amaterasu. Sasuke is eventually caught but, he had already prepared an escape by using the same "replacement" jutsu that Orochimaru normally used.
And now they are both out of chakra. Still, Sasuke seems to have something up his sleeve, some new jutsu. It’s not just Naruto that has been busy creating his ultimate ninjutsu, and what’s more, while Naruto only seems to evolve one single jutsu at a time, Sasuke, as always, shows to be a complete shinobi in all aspects.
Awesome episode once again, awesome animation. Even though this one had more "dead" times and "explanations", it was still really action and adrenaline packed. Loved it.
The preview showed a lot of "half-spoilers". The next one seems to maintain some of the quality level. I’m really impressed with this, would never have expected Shippuuden to rise to such a level. Can’t wait for the next episode, for the next arc and for Naruto to become a full fledged shinobi, you will understand what I’m talking about soon :).
- Next Episode: Demise
Just stopping by to tell you that I enjoy reading your recaps. Keep up the good work.
