[Premium Access] Naruto - Episode 98 Tsunade's Warning: Ninja No More! - Group Reaction

^this. I find the "fillers" some of the better episodes of the series.

Chaos T

To say anything that was not in the manga of Naruto means it's skippable in the anime isn't true. It's just that there is filler inside of the expanded canon of the anime. Episodes like these are important, BUT people will tell you to skip them. They consider only what happened in the manga important. This just isn't the case, because this anime is an adaptation of that story. It was never going to be the same.

Darryl Jones Jr.

13:30 Rana's reaction haha, them Nara boys

Matt

uh no. Its people like you who make it difficult for new anime viewers to identify what a filler is. A filler is essentially an episode that has nothing to do with the main story. A filler, for the most part, is not found in the manga/light novel. Therefore it is not "canon".

Javier Martinez

Filler is the stuff the anime adds that wasn't in the source material. However there are different types. There's the fillers that expand on canon moments... and then there's the ones that are just tacked on scenes/episodes to make the show longer and allow the manga to move futher ahead.

The Ultimate Ed

Filler is stuff that fills you in on the smaller details, they can be used for a variety of things, fill you in on certain characters/ provide developement for certain characters/ explain how the character learnt so and so ability, history behind a characters origins mostly not from the main cast but can be, or just for plain entertainment/ or slice of life

John

Filler has 2 differences.. Canon filler and Non Canon filler this is a canon filler if Naruto went to another world or if it was like a side mission it would be filler if it doesn't progress the actual story.. 102-106 has messages in them that are important so I would say its partial non canon filler but there were some things that I liked in these episodes

John

Y'all did a good job of not paying attention to context less talking and more listening instead of trying to mimick the characters

John

97- was about a group of bandits that tried to get tsunade.. Sigh forget it just it was a fun episode but I don't mind but it had something to do with tsunade and her debt fillers are also important

John

Still slow lol.. I been gone for like 2 weeks and 1 new episode wow.. You guys can literally get out of this rut if you increased the episode count 99 through 106 is really essential for various reasons but the wait drains me

John

Episode 186 is an unforgettable filler. You will not be the same. 😐

Ben Felton

sooon :D

Shockspring

Lol y’all should jus look up the filler list on google it’ll even tell which eps r partial fillers

Dino Morte

99 is a GOAT episode. cant wait

Keep It Zen

Hot springs filler

Keep It Zen

I actually really enjoyed that small arc. It was good

Jessica

Yeah too many people seem to not realize what the term "filler" actually means. Its supposed to represent non-canon storyline (not in the manga) but people seem to associate filler as non-action casual scenes which is not true. Like this whole episode of 98 was in the manga. Calling this filler just doesn't make sense.

Jessica

Yeah like this whole episode (98) of shikamaru and his women talk, neji training with the birds, tsunade healing sasuke/Kakashi, the talk with lee, all of that stuff happened in the manga. It's canon storyline.

Jessica

Sadness and Sorrow plays in the backround

Matis

feet

It is. But it's a good one.

Sherman

Episode 99 has a great character development on Konohamaru and Tsunade. I don't see any boring stuffs.

Sherman

All I have to say is THANK GOD we're done with the Search for Tsunade arc. Seriously one of my least favorite arcs of the main story. Can't wait for them to get into the next main arc, which is easily one of the best of the entire series

Ryan Graham

So....china exists in the naruto world

Ralph

Which filler was 97 again?

Michael Diaz

Hey Normies, just so you know: regardless of what some fans are saying, episodes 98 and 100 are NOT filler. They each contain about 1.5 chapters-worth of manga content. That's more manga content than plenty of previous episodes in Naruto. For example, there were episodes in the Zabuza arc that covered less than a single chapter. If those episodes aren't "filler", then neither are these.

They were advised to skip it because it's filler.

KaydenC

I might sound dumb for asking but where is ep97

Logan Prime

Why is there a One piece box on the table ? Are they reacting to one piece ?

I WANNA BE RELEVANT I stopped breathing

Katarina Kurko

Pretty sure they enjoyed this one. Doesn't need to be fighting in every episode for it to be meaningful.

Jenna Kochanski

Yeah mate, I forgot which ep they said it on but they confirmed that they are going to watch Shippuden.

STEAMY_DA_GOD

for the love of everything good please skip these fillers lol

Shyakugaun

It begins...

joel bailey

Some people in the comments are definitely wrong, they're focusing too much on the manga, this one and the next couple are a mix of canon and filler, not all filler is bad. Most filler that people are complaining about come later and don't really add much to any characters, build them or the world and if they do it's very lazily. These episodes are some of the best filler you're going to see for this show, so don't be fooled there will be bad fillers later but these next few are really well done and are mixed with canon anyways. ALSO Nejis scene is to show he has a blind spot both literally and is a metaphor to show he isn't able to see everything, which is what naruto taught him.

I’m happy you enjoyed this episode as much as I did! I love these slice of life, character focused episodes. They build the characters up so we’re more emotionally invested in them. I completely agree with Micky’s definition of a filler where it’s when nothing moves forward in the story or nothing new is revealed about the characters. Here we learn about Konohamaru’s turmoil, Tsunade’s reputation among other Leaf shinobi; we see Neji’s certainty in his ability to count all the birds accurately (which partly derives from his former belief in the inevitability of destiny) challenged again, echoing the outcome of his fight with Naruto; Tsunade heals everyone, there’s a shift in Naruto’s understanding of Sakura’s feelings for Sasuke, Naruto bonds with Iruka as he talks about the state of the village, and we find out about Lee’s grim prognosis. Even if this information could be relayed in the future, making such episodes “unnecessary,” it would be in the form of exposition and it won’t have the same impact as watching it unfold in real time. So while this might not be action packed, these kind of episodes are important in my opinion and I’m glad you’re liking them too. I can only imagine your reactions to 99 and 100!

Sally

Welcome back Chris!! I hope you had a good trip in Europe. Haha I’m glad Tsunade has your Guy sensei thumbs up of approval! You know a woman with that many legendary nicknames has to be spicy. It was so nice of you guys to shout out everyone in the fandom and on Discord! We love you. You have no idea how long and intense the debates get in there - you’d think we’re debating the meaning of life or quantum physics 😂 But you’re right it’s because we care deeply about your viewing experience, and we factor in your preferences. I really appreciate that you read comments even though you have to be careful of spoilers. It’s cool you enjoyed learning about the folktale that inspired the Sannin! Naruto is a series full of cultural influences. And Suraj, don’t worry about the Kurama comments - it’s not your fault the Hulu subtitles person fucked up and pulled the butterfly meme 🤦‍♀️

Sally

I think neji hes training his vision so maybe that was him telling us that his eye still has blind spots

Brownhokage

How to trigger every naruto fan in 2019 😂

Brownhokage

Also here's a list of Definitive fillers left EP 101-106, 136-140, & 143-219 So only about 34 episodes left!

Smoopy Doop

So question? Are they doing Shippuden right after they finish this?

Smoopy Doop

Neji: What do you want Tenten? Suraj: I want to be relevant damn feelsbadman

Grey

"kinda fillers" uhhh...wut

Oscar Giron

It could be. I watched their seven deadly sins ep. 6 reaction, someone said "he's using haki" so either they're watching it or they watched it on their own time

Tracy Simmons

Is the One Piece box foreshadowing? Ahah sorry i love that show too <3

Zerras Lo

I'd like to argue that 10% of eipsode 101 is canon because it was an omake that Kishi did! In other words, 101 should be watched. And as far as I know, filler is original anime stuff while canon is manga stuff. The idea that any non action moments/episodes are filler is mind boggling.

botanbutton

I was also going into this wanting to see your reaction to the BTT motorboat and it was a good reaction lol

L

BTT got this. No needs to worries about best boi ROCK LEE!

L

If there’s one filler y’all need to watch, it’s 102.

Neal Cabanos

I dont think it was a who, I think it may have been listed as filler on one of the online filler lists...maybe...Idk 😂

STEAMY_DA_GOD

It’s ironic because she has one of his favorite designs

Zee

Thankfully your wrong and they will watch

Zee

Wah wah wah

Zee

Yeah, basically a month

Zee

funniest episode in naruto series

please watch 101

everyone says its been days since the hokage died but i feel like it has been months, since naruto has been training the rasengan. Jiraya's calendar that he had around his neck had like a month of stamps on it. then the full week of mastering the rasengan after they met tsunade. and the trip back to the village. it has definitely not been days.

nekkidwenis

At this pace it will be like a month of filler episodes. Skip to 107 for the next act

TinCan Cosmanaut

I cant fucking wait for this ark !!! <3

Shockspring

People Wondering if they are or are not reacting to episode 99, they confirmed that they are. They said that they enjoyed the episode though.

no, think of it as a low quality anime sausage, full of cartilage and all that nasty shit you didn't really need to be eating

Think of filler as world building rather than story telling.

I'Kei Amuquandoh

Episodes 99, 102-106 are 100% boring filler so skip it 🙏🏼

Ez

There are a few Canon/ Filler episode mixes and those tend to be one that everyone is debating to watch or not. Though just wanna say, That Neji scene does have a non symbolic meaning for a future nice setup for the near future, since it kinda confused yall for a bit there. Actually....quite a bit of this scene with the other characters does come up, like Shikamaru's family deer they raise. Nice looking back at this stuff again.

Rexamillion

Bro chill. No need to be rude. Either way blind wave would react to one a week and the filler and you know it.

DAINTHEMANE

You idiots are using the term canon wrong and are annoying throughout the whole video UGH why can’t blind wave react to naruto

Blackest Hippy

It was mix canon and filler idk who the f told you it was fully filler. Or you read wrong. It was canon material drawn out with some filler scenes basically where Naruto is catching up with certain characters

DAki

00:00 - Sora when he is knocked out in Kingdom Hearts II

Arthur Haguehara

Both in real life, and in Naruto, Shikamaru is right

Ghost_Troupe

Ten Ten is the ONLY character in the main cast without a back story. Even the creator of Naruto mentioned she was just added space lol

Christopher Gibson

Yeah. There are quite a few episodes that are mixed, like that episode where Hinata spoke to Naruto before the 3rd exam.

Adam Vialpando

101 is the popular mask episode.

This episode was mixed canon and filler. So basically everything that matters was canon and everything that didn't matter was filler.

Heru Muharrar

If you like rock lee you can watch 99 and 100 but if you want to see one of the best arcs skip to episode 107

Only the last few minutes.

Please skip to 107

This episode isn’t the filler, it’s 90-95% Canon. 99 is the one that’s mostly filler, with some canon parts.

Keep It Zen

Episode 99 is a total filler skip it. Episode 101 is a comedy filler that is very popular I wouldn’t mind if you react to it honestly. Episodes 102-106 is a mini filler arc that’s kind shitty so skip it. Ep 107 is the new arc 🔥

Ez

Amazing reaction to the normies. Salute

Alex cleveland

Great reaction glad you enjoyed this Episode I love the canon/slice of life mixed episodes they’re some of the best!

Sage

mashallah alhumidllah inshallah better

mghool4ever

yay Chris is back!

SpeedyCat19

good job putting tenten in here place

Kuruma is car, Kurama is the fox demon Suraj :P

Its Jimmu

You guys watching on hulu? Think for the og watchers The nine tailed foxes name wasnt revealed till late in shippuden. At least thats what i was told anyway. Hulu subbers must be high giving out spoilers like that.

Karthig

It seems like a lot of people are disagreeing on the filler thing. Episode 98 is mixed canon and anime original("filler") content. While Episode 99 is more or less entirely anime original, even though it builds upon canon content. As in it wasn't in the manga. Still an important episode. People just don't like to call it "filler" because it's not there to drag out, it's there to flesh out parts of the story. Unlike most other "filler" or "anime original" stuff.

Zaj

220 is a cannon episode.

Rcl

One of the biggest mistery of the show is who are Konohamaru's parents...it's not reveal in the anime and reference like once or twice in the manga...it could be considered spoilers so if you wan to know i can reveal...it's not like it as a big impact on the show...

Ji-pi Doyon

This is a spoiler. It’s not hidden. Please delete this.

Zee

just skip 102-106 actual useless filler. 107-135 and then u can move onto shippuden, theres not even a episodes worth of canon scenes in 136-220 so its all skippable. and the canon stuff that is in it you learn about from the get go in shippuden.

Liam D

You guys should stop listening to who ever told you this episode was filler

Blackfeet808

Really loving these reactions! I'm excited to watch this final arc with y'all. It's in my opinion the best arc in kid Naruto.

I found a good website that shows you what is filler with important canon information this episode was listed as that: https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto

Abg

You now hear the characters pronounce "Sasuke" as "Socks-gay".

Miasimon

There’s a short spurt of filler episodes now then the last genuinely important development which takes a little less than a season to finish up then it’s all filler with a handful of enjoyable episodes and arcs but after the Big Sasuke Thing(you’ll know what it is) you can pretty much skip to Shippuden without fear. Although I do hope you’ll at least partake of the Bikoju Beetle Arc because it’s ADORBS

Bryan Matola

I can't wait for them to experience the insane awsomeness that is "Hero's Comeback".

olof

I actually think it's better to burn through it since you don't have to wait a week between each episode. Shippuuden was agony to watch weekly because of all the flashbacks and pauses.

olof

next arc is going to be so fucking lit. So excited!

Kevin Hansson

The change in the desing of Shikaku costume is settle there, i bet that antler skin must have been hard to draw all the time...Still cool, also his vest is darker than most of the other Jonin...i wonder if it's linked to his fonction in the leaf ?

Ji-pi Doyon

Episode 108 .....🙏

Hank yang

Hyyype, such a good arc!

David

This episode is not a filler...many things are settle like the healing of certain character and the establishment of the 5th Hokage...we must not mistake between filler and episodes with some character developpment...

Ji-pi Doyon

glad you guys enjoyed this episode BUUUT i feel like the reason people are telling you guys its a filler is because we can see how antsy you guys are when there's too much dialog and flashbacking and generally no action happening. Trust us we've aaaall been there with this show but you're also powering through it so the long pauses and dialogs and general meandering feels 10x worse. But yeah this is a pretty important character episode. Can't wait for the next arc!!

Edo

LOL! the tenten shade Suraj did made me sad and laugh because it’s true 😂

BeeIsBetter

Wrong

Zee

When Shikaku Nara, battle commander of the leaf greets you with respect this way, you know you got someone badass as a leader !

Ji-pi Doyon

The shikamaru part always makes me laugh. His Dad knows whats up.

Brandon Guthrie

This is complete filler. Whoever is guiding them with watching needs to stop

KevinFromNewYork

The Lee stuff isn't filler. It's only part filler.

GoldArthur

This has some filler parts but come on its canon, this doesn't fall under a filler episode that u can skip

Mohamed Aimal

i am glad you skipping the fillers

Bourbon

I love fighting dreamers but the next op is a whole new hype

Alex cleveland

Can't wait for the next opening reaction, my favorite Naruto opening.

Omar

Dont worry nahid. we ALL love you. BELIVE It

Gabriel Moreira

We don’t talk about it enough, but the way you guys set up the figures and Naruto merch on the table is dope

Zee

Was gonna say something about him exerting too much stress on his body, but remembered the finals were not right after. He would have had a month long to recuperate and rebuilt his muscle fabric.

Omar

Please just skip unnecessary filler

Javim

That outro tho 🔥🔥🔥

Zee

Micky: "We had some good ass Ramen in New York" Nahid: "Well I had some badass Lasagne" 🤣 I can't wait for next week, 99 & 100 HYYYYYYYPE!!!

STEAMY_DA_GOD

Best arc ever, coming up!

GoldArthur

Just let them enjoy the show. Fandom doesn’t need to overreact to every little detail. Try not to be rude and let’s just have a good time.

Frank Raddi

They are. 101 is being debated on discord

Zee

Agree 100%

Zee

I don’t think that’s why it’s considered filler. People tried telling them because there’s some non manga stuff in it

Zee

People seem to think nothing major happening to mean filler

Jose

This episode is what they would call a mix of canon and filler. Honestly tho, I feel if they continue plots that the canon material has hit on, its canon.. or atleast canon to the anime

Zee

Pls just pass those episodes are not related to manga

Hank yang

Rock Lee didn't sustain the spinal injuries when he opened his Fifth Gate, it was Gaara who crushed his hand and leg. If not for that he probably would have participated in the Chuunin Exams.

olof

filler just means it isn't from the manga. A lot of episodes are mostly cannon with some filler. This episode is mostly canon with some filler comedy/slice of life moments.

stephen

lol wtf

Rain

This is not filler. Yall really dont understand.

PKKite

Yes!

NMD

ill pay extra just to see your reaction to 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dragon

why do people, go around calling non-filler episodes filler? It's half and half usually just means they spread out the canon content & add in parts to make an entire episode

Nick

Can't wait for 101!

NMD

please react to 99 100 and 101 please !!!

dragon

The next opening is so good, I'm hyped for it

Chris is back from his holiday...imma jizz just for him 🍆💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦

STEAMY_DA_GOD

Next arc starting soon!

Frank Raddi

Thanks for the uploads guys

NateRiver

episodes 99 is NOT a filler !

dragon

"I want to be relevant"...that burn stung Suraj. Because it's true. btw, 102-106 is technically filler, but since certain scenes are remebered as flashbacks in 107 maybe you should watch them in your own time, and not upload them. Also, the bird symbolizes freedom - Neji was trapped by his blind belief in fate, but Naruto "freed" him.

olof

DAMN I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 107!!! It's the start of my favorite arc!!!

Rain

This episode isn't really a complete filler, it's a mix

Nick

99 aint filler

Episode 98 is not a filler... just beacuse is no action in it 😤😒

Kevin Kovacs

Ayeeeee Chris is back

Resident stan

THANKS FOR THE EARLY POST!!!! Hopefully you skip the fillers, episodes 99, 101-106... you can watch episode 101 for the kakashi's face filler

Rain
