VerifiedLa pelea entre el nueve colas y Pain es intensa. Pain usa la devastación planetaria y Naruto está apunto de perder contra Kurama.

VerifiedThis episode was intense and emotionally powerful, especially during Naruto’s transformation and the confrontation with Pain. The action scenes were dynamic and the stakes felt very high. A crucial and memorable episode, definitely worth watching.

that eight tails transformation looks like a skinless monster and it was genuinely scary to see naruto lose control like that before his dad finally showed up in his subconscious
maria_campbell
When that seal on the necklace broke, the world felt like it was ending and Pain throwing a massive floating sphere at Naruto was a terrifying show of power
rei_hino_373
I think the crazy animation style perfectly matches the absolute chaos of the six tails and the way Pain got hammered into the ground like a nail was incredible to watch
iris_cannary_171
pain looking like a distorted cartoon character really ruined the tension of such a massive fight and his face when he gets hit is just too goofy for this serious moment
zenitsu_zap
pain getting his head slammed like a cartoon character was a weird choice and it made me laugh even though the village was literally being turned into a giant rock ball

seeing naruto lose his mind and turn into that terrifying demon rabbit after what happened to hinata was so brutal and him crushing the necklace showed how far gone he was

I was losing my mind when the six tails just ignored that massive almighty push and then Pain had to resort to making a whole moon in the sky. It felt so desperate and intense especially with the animation being so fluid. The Fourth Hokage showing up to stop the transformation made my eyes well up because Naruto finally met his father
zelda
the scale of chibaku tensei is actually insane and seeing all those trees and mountains get sucked into the sky made the threat of the akatsuki feel so much more real
yuu_ishigami
the moment the fourth hokage appears in narutos mind and stops him from ripping that seal off is enough to make any fan cry and he finally knows who his dad is
tanjiro_tidal
The animation during the fight felt experimental, but the emotional payoff when Minato stops Naruto from releasing the nine tails is the most satisfying moment in the whole arc so far

Wait, when the Fourth Hokage just popped up inside Naruto's mind and stopped him from fully transforming, I literally screamed! I was so sure he was a goner, and now I'm just thinking about all the times Naruto has wished for his parents, and here one is. This changes *everything* for him.
uraraka_uravity_124
Okay, so the Pain animation was definitely something else during that whole chase, but honestly, I barely registered it once Minato *just showed up* to stop the seal. I mean, my jaw dropped! After all these years of Naruto wondering about his parents, for his dad to appear at literally the exact second he was about to give up – it's just so incredibly dramatic and, like, exactly when he needed that connection the most.

I don't get why some folks complained about the animation; I thought the movement during the fight was incredibly fluid, and honestly, seeing the Nine-Tails' bones and muscles regenerate like that gave me this visceral, almost sickening feeling, like I was watching something truly unholy come to life.
rukia_reaper
Honestly, the sheer shock of Minato being inside the seal all this time, just waiting for a moment like that, totally blew my mind; I literally gasped. After years of Naruto carrying that heavy weight of not knowing his parents, seeing him confront his father in such a dire situation felt incredibly poignant and almost heartbreaking for me.

I honestly thought my heart was gonna explode watching Hinata throw herself at Pain, knowing full well she stood no chance, but my goodness did it light a fire under Naruto. That six-tails transformation was absolutely wild, and I totally get why he went full beast mode after seeing her get taken down like that.

When the ground just lifted up into the sky to trap the Nine-Tails, I seriously gasped; I've never seen anything on this scale before in Naruto, and it really solidified how utterly terrifying Pain's power is.
karakasa_kozo
Naruto just going absolutely feral on Pain like that was pretty wild to witness; I mean, I almost cheered, but then seeing him so completely consumed by that rage, it made me realize how much he'd lost and how close he was to becoming the very thing he fought against. All those pent-up feelings from the village's destruction and Hinata's attack just exploded, and honestly, it gave me chills.
pierce
When the Nine-Tails was tearing through everything in that water battle, I found myself so torn; the animation felt a little rough initially, almost like a sketch, but that rawness just amped up the sheer, destructive chaos. My gut instinct was to recoil from its wild power, seeing it move with such terrifying speed made me realize just how truly uncontrollable Naruto’s inner demon really is, and I actually kinda liked how unsettling that felt.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Arriving directly after the emotionally devastating 'Confessions' in episode 166, this episode channels that personal anguish into explosive action, escalating the Pain's Assault arc to its breaking point. Naruto and Pain's confrontation reaches a critical flashpoint here, serving as the climactic combat centerpiece before episode 168, 'The Fourth Hokage,' pivots into revelatory character development that reshapes the entire conflict.
