Naruto Shippuden Uncut Set 16



BACK TO CANON! START OF THE FIVE KAGE SUMMIT ARC!!
These are the episode titles that this box set contains, note that the first four episodes of this set are part of the previous filler arc, however the rest of the episodes are 100% canon.

This box set includes:

193 "The Man Who Died Twice" (filler)

194 "The Worst Three-Legged Race" (filler)

195 "Team 10's Teamwork" (filler)

196 "Drive Towards Darkness" (filler)

197 "The Sixth Hokage Danzo" (canon)

198 "Five Kage Summit's Eve" (canon)

199 "Enter the Five Kage!" (canon)

200 "Naruto's Plea" (canon)

201 "Painful Decision" (canon)

202 "Racing Lightning" (canon)

203 "Sasuke's Ninja Way" (canon)

204 "Power of the Five Kage" (canon)

205 "Declaration of War" (canon)

This set is the beginning of the Five Kage Summit Arc which is one of the BEST arcs in my opinion. Overall it's a great box set!

4 Filler episodes and 9 canon: The five kage summit arc begins! Spoiler free review
The previous boxset was, in my opinion a real disappointment and like many others, I just desperately wanted a return to the fantastic canon material the series is loved for. Fortunately, this boxset does exactly that as the five kage arc begins.

This boxset and arc contains possibly some of my favourite episodes in Naruto so far. Due to Sasukes actions against Killer Bee ages ago the Raikage requests a meeting between the 5 great powers and so finally, at long last, we get to see the other Kage for the first time.

What makes this set of episodes so interesting I found is that introducing a set of new characters not only keeps the show fresh and interesting but also really fleshes out the world of Naruto. Upto this point, its really only been about the leaf village and how great they are, but here we see that the fellow villages and kages have their own strengths, personalities and motives. Not least of the leafs hokage during this meeting. This set also...

Kage Summit starts!
This box has a few filler episodes in the beginning, but finally starts the Kage Summit, and the episodes end right before Danzo and Sasuke fight! The last episode on this box set is "Declaration of War" when Tobi declares war on the Kage. A must buy for Naruto fans! English dub is FINALLY catching up to the original Japanese dub. :)
