I see that they are trying to expand on Sakura's training and screentime which is fine but even I, a Sakura fan, feel like they are trying too hard. As for the Taka thing (exluding Jūgo), well...it was worthless though I can see why the anime adaptors did it. This can be the reason to show why Sasuke got interested in them besides taking Orochimaru's word for it I guess. Also it is complete bs that Karin used the Adamantine Attacking Chains, it just retcons her whole fighting part in the series. Couldn't she have used this on Danzō instead of getting curved stomped the way she did or on Killer B? I for one, thing that it is not a very good filler. I wish most of them were. But I do see how weird things get...I mean, I thought that Karin didn't really know she had those chains...like it was just a spur of the moment thing. But anyway, I do love the fact of the Sakura and Tsunade training...I have been waiting for the full explanations behind those two techniques for a while... So much so that I formulated how it would work...and I have to say, I practically got every detail right. I just never really described it as a 'dam', but I did include the fatigue of the constant storage of chakra over such a long period of time. So for me, this filler episode was fairly okay. Though I do wish that Tsunade training Sakura would become more than just a 'lecture-type' training.
