Man, the Guy fight was short, but sweet as hell! Especially when Madara praises him as the greatest taijutsu master of all-time. It's too bad that the only time Guy got to display his true skill was against the person who was - strongest Uchiha of all time - inheritor of the chakra of Indra - stealer of Hashirama's power - second Sage of the Six Paths - jinchuuriki of the ten-tails!! You'd have to be that powerful to survive against Guy. Otherwise, Guy could have killed just about anyone else in the ninja world if he wanted to.

Does anyone know the reason the fillers are so constant? I figured once the manga was wrapping up, the fillers would slow down and stop. But no, they're sending fillers out like there's no tomorrow. I mean, if they want to throw other side-stories in to elaborate on what some other characters have been up to, they could have just added some featurettes near to or after the end of the series without ruining the momentum in the canon. It's at the point now that I don't even look forward to Naruto episodes each week anymore. Any momentum that I enjoyed is gone, and it's such a pain to have to re-amp myself after being so dissappointed every two weeks or so. And I was quite a big fan up until recently. Just, the amount of fillers since the start of the ninja war is getting to be too much.

Right after Madara's death, Naruto and Sasuke were born, the next incarnates. Before Hashirama and Madara, there had been many others, over span of about 1000 years. Average human lifespan give or take 80 years and it's likely the incarnates died before that, killing each other off... so say 50 years their average lives, that means there might have been as many as 20 other Asuras and Indras excluding the known ones. That's assuming that we know anything about reincarnation - or whatever the writer makes it about in his creation. But if the time flows as it seems, it's possible that omnipresence or multipresence exists for people in chakra forms, since the old man is talking to Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously - and presumably hes not giving his Naruto-aimed responses to Sasuke, except for his generic statements. So then while Madara was holding on the his chakra, Indra's chakra could have still visitted upon others with less potency. Of course, the manga did say that Madara and Hashirama were in the middle of the list and not the beginning didn't it? Then the subtitle saying "first" could have either been a mistake of the translator where it really would be "previous", or else the writer of the script could have made an error and misrepresented the original dialogue. I agree on that front...

I think I've typed too much...
