EPISODE CONTEXT
Directly following 'Meeting,' where Nagato begins telling his story to Naruto face-to-face, episode 173 deepens that confession by revealing the formative tragedies behind Pain's ideology. It serves as the emotional core of the Pain arc's endgame, bridging the physical battle that preceded it with the philosophical confrontation still to come. The next episode, 'Tale of Naruto Uzumaki,' shifts focus to Naruto's answer — making this installment the critical setup for the arc's resolution.
