lot of people calls naruto shippuuden 167 badly animated. ignoring the objective face of it being the most ambitious episode in the tv industry, something like this right now is nearly impossible with names like wakabayashi and norio matsumoto, iconic episode
Its so easy to dumb down any series like this 🤦♂️
Villain appears → Naruto loses → trains and gets a new power-up → villain has a tragic backstory → Naruto relates to them → speech about loneliness, hatred, and bonds → villain changes their mind.
New enemy faction invades → Soul Reapers get folded → Bankai reveal → enemy says “I planned for that” → Ichigo arrives late → gets a new power-up → wins → next invasion.
Strong guy appears → everyone gets washed → train → new transformation → beam struggle → stronger guy appears.
