Sakura finally beating the allegations by keeping Obito going while he looked for Sasuke through those portals was actually great to see

Kaguya is okay as a final boss, but Madara was arguably a better villain because he had so much more presence and history with the cast

Obito taking that hit for the team is a heavy moment and it really brings his whole journey from the war back to where it started

Naruto using those clones to mess with Kaguya was such a classic move and it shows he can still outsmart a literal god

I actually felt my heart hurt when Obito said he did not have much time left and he just wanted to make things right for Kakashi and Naruto

The pacing slowed down a lot with those flashbacks but seeing Obito stand up for Naruto after all that history made it worth the wait

I can finally say Sakura showed up big time, because she really pushed through that acid burn to keep the portal open and she actually managed to catch Sasuke which was huge. It makes me sad that the show is ending soon but seeing Obito choose to die for Naruto feels like a heavy full circle moment since he was the one who started this whole mess

Kaguya is such a terrifying villain because those ash bones just turn you into dust instantly and the way she swaps dimensions is so disorienting

Sakura using all her chakra to help Obito find Sasuke was great and it definitely proves she is not useless like everyone says

I really felt for Obito when he jumped in front of those ash bones and he finally decided to be the hero after everything he did to the world

Naruto going solo against Kaguya with his clones was the most tactical he has been in a long time and it worked surprisingly well against her desire to absorb him

That scene where Obito decided to step up and sacrifice himself felt like a real turning point for his character and helped settle some of the older stuff he did against the village

I was honestly so hyped to see Sakura getting a win for once, because the hate she gets is usually way too much. Watching her dump all her chakra into Obito to bring Sasuke back made me realize how much they all still need her, and the way Naruto acknowledged her without saying a word was a nice touch.

Seeing Obito use Kamui with Sakura helping him was the highlight and it felt like the old Team 7 vibes were starting to come back together finally after everything that happened

My heart was actually hurting for Sakura when she was pouring everything she had into that portal and the little look Naruto gave her was just perfect for that moment

Kaguya getting distracted by Naruto and his clones was pretty funny and showed she might not be as invincible as she looks when she gets greedy for chakra and forgets her surroundings

It was about time the show got back to the actual story, although the flashbacks were still dragging things out more than they needed to during the fight.

Obito looking at Naruto and realizing his time is almost up hit deep because you can tell he really wants to make up for all the mess he caused before the end

I actually felt some pride as a viewer just watching Sakura push all that chakra into Obito and it was such a relief to see her doing something vital for the team once more

Naruto baiting Kaguya with all those clones was actually really smart and it felt good to see him using his brain instead of just yelling and charging in

EPISODE CONTEXT

Positioned at episode 470 of 500, this is firmly within the climactic Kaguya confrontation that defines the final stretch of Shippuden. It picks up directly from the main storyline after 'A Special Mission,' resuming the core battle against Kaguya's dimension-warping powers with renewed urgency. The episode builds momentum toward 'The Two of Them...Always,' advancing key character dynamics and combat developments that feed directly into the series' closing chapters.
