Anyway, SP additional scenes were good as well, really enjoyed it :) Still Pierrot's fault for putting the episode here as it was totally unwarranted, given the ~2 months of the Asura/Indra fillers (I wouldn't have cared if it came "after" the Naruto/Sasuke battle). Plus, Pierrot could have reasonably chosen not to animate the omake at all, so it's all Pierrot's fault for this poorly timed "filler".

Do they not want to complete the manga or something? 'Cause if they keep adding about 5-6 filler episodes for every 1 canonical episode, we'll never get anywhere with this series and people will stop caring. >_>
