Shikamaru getting absolutely launched by Temari at the end was so funny. He really had no idea what he was doing and it cost him. Poor guy just wanted to help Naruto but he is so dense
chris_33
That giant tornado at the end was the only way this could have finished. Shikamaru deserved every bit of it for asking her to check the women's bath

Everyone scrambling for gifts makes the wedding feel so real. You can tell how much they all care about Naruto and Hinata even if they are struggling

I actually felt so bad for Temari when she thought he was proposing a weekend getaway but he just wanted her to scout the baths, and honestly her reaction was totally justified because he was being so incredibly dense and seeing her blush like that was a nice change but Shikamaru really needs to learn how to talk to people properly before he gets killed

Choji is a total legend for ditching them so they could be alone. He knew exactly what he was doing with that dessert for his dessert excuse
lance_328
My head is spinning seeing Orochimaru just casually hanging out in the background as a waiter. Nobody even cares that a war criminal is serving drinks
nicol_ascart_166
Temari getting all shy and red in the face was something nobody expected, and it makes it even funnier when she eventually launches Shikamaru into the sky
zashiki_zenin_96
Watching Sakura use chakra to smash ingredients and Ino using fire jutsu just to cook is the kind of stuff you miss from the old days. They are so competitive
tsunderekid
You can't help but feel bad for Shikamaru and his brain just does not work when it comes to girls. He basically asked for that wind blast at the end
grey_ghost_143
I was dying when Choji started foaming at the mouth and his soul almost left his body over some food pills. He is the funniest part of these filler episodes
prince_demande_379
Watching Sakura and Ino use their combat moves just to bake some snacks was hilarious and it is cool how they still have that competitive spark even when they are adults
jiraiya_jester_50
The idea of gifting a honeymoon is actually a really thoughtful move from Shikamaru and it shows how much he has grown since the days of just playing shogi in the park
lexaeus
I honestly felt so bad for Temari when she thought Shikamaru was finally making a move, she was so nervous and it was actually kind of cute to see her blush that much. Then he goes and asks her to check out the womens bath for research and totally kills the mood. He is a total genius but so stupid at the same time

It is so nice to have these lighthearted episodes after the war and seeing everyone stress out over finding unique wedding gifts is way more relatable than the usual ninja stuff
sailor_jupiter_395
That scene where Shikamaru grabbed Temari and said he needed her just to ask about a honeymoon for Naruto and Hinata made me laugh so hard and he really deserved that wind blast
erica_brown
Did anyone else see Orochimaru just casually working as a waiter in the background, he is honestly living his best life and not even trying to hide his face anymore
domino_348
Choji eating all those bowls of ice cream and then foaming at the mouth from the sugar was a bit much and his eating habits are getting kind of gross lately
marluxia_454
Choji playing the wingman for Shikamaru was so good and I liked how he knew exactly what he was doing by leaving those two alone because his food pill reactions were hilarious
rokurokubi_ronin_34
Ino and Sakura fighting over a picture frame was such a throwback to the old days and they still get so heated over nothing but it was sweet they made food the other liked
shishinki_255
Shikamaru is actually so dense and he really asked Temari to scout a bathhouse for another couple and her face was getting so red but then she just sent him flying through the air
EPISODE CONTEXT
This episode is part of the 'Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding' arc, the final narrative stretch of Shippuden that revolves entirely around preparations for Naruto and Hinata's wedding. It follows episode 495, 'A Full-Powered Wedding Gift,' which covered other characters' gift-hunting efforts, and leads directly into 'The Kazekage's Wedding Gift,' continuing the rotating spotlight on different friend groups as they each contribute to the celebration that caps off the entire series.
