Naruto Shippuden Episode 385
The Naruto manga is ending next week! Cue the bittersweet cries of countless fans around the world. (Although there's already news about a Naruto manga miniseries for next year.) This week's Naruto Shippūden seems to carry an extra special significance in light of the manga's end on Monday. So does episode 385 leave us eager to see the rest of the story unfold in anime form?
Well, it does a passable job, but it's nothing to write home about. Last week's episode brought us the most action and progression we've seen in a number of weeks. Episode 385 puts a brake on that momentum to take us on a flashback journey to Obito's youth. Since Obito is not going to be the focus of the battle for much longer, the animators probably thought it best to work in everything you could possibly want to know about the character before he goes. Unfortunately, we already know quite a lot about him, especially his similarities to Naruto. While presenting Obito's history as a Naruto-who-chose-the-dark-side story could be compelling, all the new scenes in episode 385 don't add much to the story.
Episode 385 stands well enough with the majority of Naruto Shippūden episodes, even if it adds little to the narrative. If you've been longing for more Obito backstory, it looks like there's even more on the way. However, if you're eager for this stage of the battle to progress, it's a disappointment. The fact that it aired several days before the source material wraps up isn't its fault, but it'd just be nice to wallow in more Naruto-related excitement as we prepare to say goodbye. 041b061a72
