Conspiracy Theory: When it comes down to these "pointless" filler episodes, has anyone noticed anything in them that makes them desperately obnoxious? No? I'll tell you. NEJI HYUUGA! No, seriously, about 2/3's of the filler episodes, Neji is either in them or mentioned. Now, to a wide variety of viewers of the anime, and readers of the manga, I was one of them that was shocked that Neji was killed off; and it was sad. I'm not gonna lie and say that: 'I didn't feel sad that he died'; but at the same time after the first few chapters and episodes after he did, I moved on and enjoyed the rest of the series. Just like Naruto, he and everyone else during the war did and continued to fight until the end. In the second-to-last and the last chapter, his grave was visited by friends and family, meaning that he is still remembered and loved by everyone. But these fillers that we keep getting in between the war arcs, they ALL have him in there somewhere. My theory (just a theory) is that many viewers were NOT satisfied, too heartbroken, and wanted to have him back in the show somehow; or the STUDIO thought that his death was too sad and wanted to put him back in the show somehow. What do you think?
