Episodes discussed: Naruto Shippuden 1-2

We made it! It's a brand new world! We're done with Naruto proper and moving on to Naruto Shippuden! However, there is a problem. Sasuke is here, after much insistence from Emily to the boys that we wouldn't be seeing him for long. At least he's not here long, and hey! Naruto and all his ninja buds are back!

It's NARUSHOW!

Well, we finally made it. Naruto is OVER. This week, Seimei dies, Gaara is randomly not a monster anymore, and Jiraiya and Kakashi shockingly don't do anything. Plus, we break down some of our favorite -- and leas favorite! -- moments in Naruto proper. Next week, it's time for Shippuden!

It's NARUSHOW!

Look. This one's a little goofy. We got a little loopy on our late Monday recording. But hey, we did find a new political hero in No-Brows, the man of the people. VOTE NO-BROWS 2020 - oh wait no he's dead. JUST KIDDING. Anyway,

It's NARUSHOW!

All the kids are here this time around...except our girl Tenten. Why you gotta be leaving Tenten out, Naruto filler? Anyway, the kids are on a mission to mess up some folks, and that's exactly what they do. Plus, Taylor forgets how to speak English.

FINALLY, some extremely high quality filler. This is what it's all about, folks. People sneak into the Leaf Village disguised as Guy on two separate occasions and Shino does a big laugh.

It's NARUSHOW!

Finally, the torture is over. When we set off on this journey called "The Curry of Life", we expected good times and joyous Rock Lee moments. Instead, we got...this. Raiga. The Backpack Boy. A whole bunch of retreads of iconic Naruto moments with zero emotional weight behind them. But hey, we finally made it. We survived the Raiga arc.

It's NARUSHOW!

I'm not going to lie to y'all. I kind of want to just be done with filler forever. Raiga is the worst villain of all time, The kid in the backpack makes no sense, and Tenten wants to murder a child (?!?!?!?!?!!!??). But hey, we committed to bringing you the finest Naruto content, and that involves going through the worst it has to offer. You're welcome?

It's NARUSHOW!

Hoo boy, y'all were really stoked on us getting to some filler. But we've gotta be frank: why? This SUCKS. Sure, we've got Rock Lee doin' his thing and eating some mega spicy curry and a good Tsunade/Guy scene, but y'all? This is rough. We haven't even seen Raiga's face yet and he's already the worst. At least there's a bunch of terrible Wolverines?

It's NARUSHOW!

Well, we finally made it. This, right here, is the True Finale of Naruto. Sure, there's like 90 filler episodes and then another "finale" at the end of things. But right here, right now, is when Naruto finally kicks Sasuke's ass. Right? That's what happens? No? Dammit.

We couldn't get our lives together enough to record a full episode, so here's a miniature episode where Tim and Taylor try to guess exactly what's going to happen as we finally -- FINALLY -- finish this whole Naruto vs. Sasuke garbage. WE'RE ALMOST HOME, Y'ALL.

It's NARUSHOW!
