QUICK TAKES

Haven't finished watching, but so far after Inata's death when Naruto gets out of hand and the dad reels him back in.

Great Comeback

Sugoi

The reunion of Naruto and his friends is so wholesome

I think this episode really created an eerie feel to the start of shippuden.

The teaser of Naruto and Sakura coming to find Sasuke and end up fighting him was amazing

The first scene of finding Sasuke is the most hype here. Other scenes showing peaceful moments in Konoha and showing each character doing something are immersive.

এত সুন্দর শুরু মনে হয় খুব কম আনিমেরই আছে। এটা অবশ্যই আগের নারুতো থেকে চলছে তবে এত ভালো ভাবে বড় নারুতোর প্রত্যাবর্তন দেখানো হয়েছে যে মনেই হবে না একটা আনিমে শেষ হয়ে আর একটা শুরু হল। আর তার সাথে সুন্দর মিউজিক্যাল পরিবেশন তো রয়েছেই। পেস ও আনিমেশন খুবই ভালো পর্যায়ের রয়েছে এই এপিসোডে

Sasuke literally walked into the fox cage and suppressed the chakra like it was nothing and that just shows how terrifying the sharingan has become now

I can't believe Sasuke really suppressed the Nine Tails just by looking at it and he looks so much colder now with that sword

Naruto grew up so much but he is still using the sexy jutsu the second he gets back and Sakura is definitely even scarier than before

The animation for that opening crater scene was really good and you can really feel the tension between the old teammates. Sasuke has that cold look in his eyes and he looks dangerous

Seeing the old faces like Izumo and Kotetsu sleeping at the gate felt like no time had passed at all. The village looks great after the repairs and Naruto jumping onto that utility pole was the perfect entrance

The transition from that dark hideout back to the sunny streets of the village was a bit jarring, but I really enjoyed the balance. Sasuke looks absolutely lethal with that sword and seeing him suppress the fox like it was nothing was chilling. I just hope Naruto has some new tricks up his sleeve besides a taller frame for this test against Kakashi.

Konohamaru thinking he can be the Seventh Hokage while Naruto is the Sixth is actually the cutest thing ever. The kid has so much spirit and it shows how much everyone in the village respects Naruto now

I felt so good when Kakashi walked through that door with his book at the end. My heart sank during the opening scene with Sasuke but seeing the squad back together makes me feel like they can win

EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 500, 'Homecoming' is the direct bridge from the original Naruto series into Shippuden, picking up after the two-and-a-half-year timeskip that followed Sasuke's departure. It functions purely as a re-establishment episode — reintroducing the core cast, their evolved dynamics, and the village's current state. Everything here is setup: the reunions and power reveals in this premiere lay the groundwork for the escalating threats and missions that will dominate the early arcs ahead.
