For real, its like they just abandoned the story. Even my boy Naruto wants to move on with the storyline, but stays bytching at Hokage and caring bullshyt animals on his back. WTF? At least go back to Sasuke's bro and that swordsman trying to get the nine tail fox spirit.
That's exactly what happened. My nikka Rasenganed noodles breh, NOODLES
. They didn't want the anime to catch the manga so we had to endure something like 83 weeks of filler
. Those who were watching Dattebayo subs week to week back then got burned because they were giving us a countdown to when they'd end, only to tell us there was 38 more weeks of filler or something crazy like that, and they knew all along
. Dattebayo was THE Naruto sub group back then. They did like 90 eps of Shippuden but by then the damage was done. They dropped Naruto and disbanded. I should also mention that Shippuden is about 40% filler and those fukks also mixed some canon material into some of them
. That being said some of them are actually worth watching, while some are an instant skip
.
