Naruto episode 41: Kunoichi Rumble: The Rivals Get Serious!

Well, it seems Kakashi was too scared to fight Orochimaru, but luckily the evil snake man left. Sasuke's been put under guard by the Anbu black ops and should be ok, hopefully. Shino defeated Zaku and now we movin on to the next match.

Misumi Tsurugi [IMG139]http://naruto.web.free.fr/v_3/personnages/misumi_1.jpg[/IMG139] Vs. [IMG200]http://muse.19inch.net/~dave/ras/faces/kankuro.jpg[/IMG200] Kankuro​

Yeah, I bet Kankuro will win this one. Both of Kabuto's teammates suck. After this fight is probably Sakura Vs. Ino (From how the preview went).

lol, this would've been a lot more excitin if I ain't spoil myself by watchin most of the episodes in japanese. -_- I'm tryin not ta watch episodes 41-99 (the only episodes I ain't see).

The Sakra vs. Ino match is soooooooo boring...It's practically all flashbacks.
I know who wins the Kankurou vs Misumi match but I don't want to ruin it.

A.K.A. myrandomness
then i will, kankuro wins and it comes on tonight!!!*yahhh*^_^
 
^ How could you ruin it for us!!! Nah, jk. I already knew myself. I actually like Sakura and Ino's fight. We get to know more about them and plus, who doesn't want to see two girls punching each other in the face?

Uh...can anyone explain the fight between Kankuro and Misumi? I missed the first few minutes and got in when Sakura's and Ino's matchup was announced...

Anyway, seeing as how I only saw the Sakura vs. Ino part, it was an ok episode. Although it was filled with flashbacks, it was nice to see Sakura not wanting to be taken lightly. Now, next week, we see their serious fight. BTW, did anyone else notice that young Ino sounds like Sora from Digimon Seasons 1 & 2?

little punks!
Sakura past is one of the most unbearable parts of the show (Compare that to Sasukes or Gaaras, xD). Luckily, the episode following this is good.
 
The episode was filled with flashbacks the only interesting part was the Kankuro battle.

Well, even though I knew how the match between Sakura and Ino would end (A friend of mine, who's seen most of the Japanese eps told me), I watched the episode anyway. At first, the fight seemed to be alright, but then the flashbacks came. This weren't really needed, the ones in "Sakura Blossoms" were enough to understand that they used to be close friends. That lead to the most boring episode I ever watched, second being the Shino fight (which only gets points because it was a one parter, and I didn't have to wait two damn weeks for another match). Is the next episode of this fight any better?
 
This episode isn't really that interesting unless you happen to like Sakura and/or Ino...Kakashi's my favorite character, but Sakura's not too far behind. And I happen to love a good catfight. For some reason, I took a little interest in the flower comparisons...

Meh. The Naruto battle is much more exciting. Of course, for those of you who haven't seen the JPN version, I won't tell you who he fights.


Sakura is a weakling and it won't be until the end of this arc until she really comes to gripe with that. However, she is quite passionate about being a good fighter, and that's what fuels her to study after the whole Sasuke thing occurs.

That's My Rule!!!
Kankurou vs. Misumi was the only interesting part.

Then came 15+ minutes of boring flashbacks: the whole Cosmos flower arrangement thing can get old... The pain, the horror.

At least the next matches are gonna be more interesting. And by interesting, I mean
Naruto vs. Kiba, Neji vs. Hinata-chan (Even though she lost and nearly died, she's still awesome... and cute. Go Hinata-chan!!! ) and Rock Lee vs. Gaara. Those are the more interesting parts of the Third Chuunin Preliminaries... The Main Matches are better (Despite the lack of Hinata-chan.), in my opinion.

Well, it should get interesting.
Especially since Naruto pulls off a Wario Waft in Akamaru's face, without even trying!!
 

Ralts Master

Knight of White Eye
Worst. Fight. EVER.

The only thing that could redeem this episode was if Ino said "Botanical Madness!" in the flashback, which she didn't.
