ALL POSTSEpisode 399 Discussion: Demon Desert Survival
<p>As usual, no illegal links.
</p><p>Gaara using taijutsu?! That's new. Good thing he never used it again. Just like Tenten's Summoning: Ridiculously Long and Impractical Ladder. She could have taken out Madara with that.
</p><p>Shira gives me a big Kenshiro vibe. This, along with the whole desert thing...I'm almost expecting an "ATATATATATATATA" somewhere in the near future.
</p><p>And is it just me, or is EVERYONE in this Exam way too skilled to just be Genin?
</p>

<p>I don't like this episode to be honest. The small chick is a Neji wannabe, Shira is Rock Lee wannabe and the tall chick is the only one different, being a genjutsu user rather than weapon master. Not to mention no blood after being hit by two kunai.

<p>the Genjutsu chick reminds me of Temari...so it'd be like Tenten getting some payback. </p>

So.. We're labeling Yome's eyes as a Dojutsu or just as a technique?

<p>If it's you, then I'm you too. On stop of having Telescope eyes, that little girl who has waaaay too much blush on is a medic?? Huh? Doesn't that take away from the chick that healed Sakura, as well as Sakura herself? To be honest I'm starting to wonder why Neji wasn't just promoted on the side by Tsunade. and Gaara is raw, trying to expand his repertoire and ish. Just thought there'd be some, I don't know, Genin-leveled Genin maybe? </p>

<p>Studio Pierrot has troubles grasping the power levels in Naruto and what's actually possible, the physics of the universe and what's possible with chakra. I mean cactus genjutsu? How does that even work? I could grasp a plant releasing hallucination inducing spores or shit, but a plant actually casting genjutsu that's somehow controlled by a person? I don't get it.
EDIT: Also what's with them with creating mutated characters all the time? They are either ugly or have extra limb or something.

<p>Since our bunch of main characters get promoted to be chuunin after this exam, it means they are already chuunin-level at this time. Well, except for Neji, who is even stronger. I guess since it would be boring to see them owning every character they encounter episode after episode, the rest was designed a bit stronger as well. Nothing I could complain about.

<p>She said that she set the Cactus Genjutsu up in advance, so I'd assume she probably placed chakra inside it beforehand or something. Honestly, there are plenty of canon techniques whose methods of activation don't make a lot of sense either. </p><p>But on the topic of in-universe physics, it's sort of jarring going back to Part 1 logic where ninja can't jump higher than a waterfall and it takes three days to travel between two side-by-side countries. Toward the end of Part 2 we've seen ninja jump hundreds of meters into the air (onto Ten-Tails' head) and Taka travel across entire countries in the course of a single night (while walking at a casual pace, no less. At for least part of the way). </p>

<p>- Shira's cool! :)
- Yome has a dojutsu? Nice!
- Mean Suna teams... >:(
- .........A ladder? Really, a ladder? ............ HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! XDXDXD
- Dang, Gaara's taijutsu has improved! :D
- To be honest, Gaara doesn't really need Konoha's protection... But the assassin's probably know about his powers and his mother's protection, so I shouldn't really complain.
</p><p>Overall, a good episode. :)
