Song Of The Week 431 – Tsuki no Ookisa by Nogizaka46

This week’s post will be a song I’ve had in my back pocket just in case I literally had no time to write anything – Naruto Shippuuden’s 14th OP.

So yeah, as I said, I’ve not really had the time to do this post, so it’ll be fairly short. So here’s the song.

Song Of The Week 387 – Seishun Kyousoukyoku by Sambomaster

This week, I’ve decided to blog one of my favourite songs of all time as SOTW.

Not only is it one of my favourite songs, but it’s by one of my favourite bands, from one of my favourite series (before the giant block of filler hit us in our collective faces), during probably its best arc.

I’ve always loved this arc of Naruto, and the opening theme for this part is one of the main reasons. There’s also the Sound Five (who are genuinely some of my favourite characters, in the original series at least) and the badass fights that relatively minor characters (at the time) like Chouji and Kiba have.

Anyway, here’s the second version of the OP animation, as I prefer this version, having Kimimaro and the Sand Siblings in it.

Song Of The Week 243 – LINE by Sukima Switch

This week’s SOTW will be a song I haven’t been able to get out of my head recently.

Plus – rare for me – it’s contemporary!

Song Of The Week 118 – SIGN by FLOW

Uh… Kind of rushed for time this week. Again. Another meeting, you know? Busy, busy, busy… So tough being a Biology graduate/otaku… Anyway.

Naruto Chapter 508 – A Death Befitting A Shinobi

I knew that sooner or later, Naruto would 'jump the shark'...

Last week, Kisame bit his own tongue off to stop Aoba from getting information on Akatsuki, and this week he breaks free from his shackles. Everyone is forces back, and Yamato is surprised Kisame broke free even though he strengthened the shackles with wood-style jutsu. Aoba tells everyone to take Kisame alive, as they may never have a good opportunity for information like this, and Might Guy says he knows. Kisame starts to pour water out of his mouth, encircling himself in a Water Prison Technique. The prison halts Guy’s attack, but he escapes before Kisame summons some sharks into the prison with him. Naruto points out that Kisame used a Water Prison jutsu (obviously, he said it when he used it) and Yamato says not to worry, as there’s nothing Kisame can do in the current situation. Kisame then remembers back to when he and Itachi became partners in Akatsuki. He introduces himself, how he was formerly of the Hidden Mist and the Seven Swordsman of the Hidden Mist. He also says that he knows all about Itachi, and that is why he was chosen as Itachi’s partner. Kisame then says it is impossible to describe how it feels to slaughter your comrades, and asks Itachi if he felt the same. Itachi replies that he talks too much. Itachi then says that Kisame doesn’t know himself, having been a wandering rogue in the mist.
