Nice to see Anko

I finally get to see more of Anko and her link to Orochimaru makes this filler actually feel like it matters for once

Anko deserves a real arc in the manga because her connection to Orochimaru is way too interesting to just be stuck in these side episodes

Episode Context

A filler episode that kicks off the Kaima Capture Mission arc, shifting gears into a mystery-driven storyline centered on Anko Mitarashi. Expect a slower, more introspective tone as the team, Naruto, Ino, and Shino, heads to the Land of the Sea to investigate reports of a sea monster. The real draw here is Anko's character depth; her history with Orochimaru casts a long shadow over the mission, lending genuine tension to what could otherwise feel like a detour. The pacing splits between atmospheric buildup and brief action beats, prioritizing suspense and backstory over high-octane combat. A new character, Isaribi, adds an element of intrigue. For fans who enjoy character-focused episodes with a darker undertone, this one delivers more substance than the typical filler fare.
