Naruto Shippuden episode release dates for March 2016 – Itachi Shinden Special
It was quite tempting to title this post ‘Itachi Shippuden’, because this is what we will get for the next two months or so.
Maybe turning the show into Itachi Shippuden was his goal all along? or a ‘Thank you’ note from Studio Pierrot for helping them with the Eternal Tsukiyomi Fillerology Rinne no Jutsu? o.o
After that, who knows what will happen.
Episode 451 “Birth and Death” (生まれる命、死ぬ命) March 3, 2016
Episode 452 “The Genius” (異才) March 10, 2016
Episode 453 “Pain of Life” (命の痛み) March 17, 2016
Episode 454 “Shisui’s Request” (シスイの依頼) March 24, 2016
Not that I mind an Itachi special, since he’s pretty much one of the most memorable and popular characters in anime history, and it’s great to have his backstory explained, as a way to clear out his name and memory.
One thing is that Studio Pierrot is playing a dangerous game by delaying canon so much, as people simply lose interest in time since they already know the outcome of the manga and how the infamous shipping wars ended.
A similar scenario that led to the cancellation of Bleach could happen.
People could just move on to other series, and the idea of ‘Naruto’ would feel passé or outdated to them, that’s the audience rebound effect, and it has been demonstrated over time how so many hiatuses and fillers kill a series.
The success of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
As of today, the game is nearly outsold after barely a month of its release, just as expected.
However, the delays in the DLC packs have annoyed everyone, with Bandai Namco only giving vague answers that there will be a total of 3, to be released in ‘the upcoming months’ :/
At least they will release the Shikamaru’s Story DLC on March 15. It’s always so great to see Kakashi as Hokage.
This first DLC will have the Hokage robes for Naruto, 10 other costumes, 10 ninja data cards, and 4 combo jutsus, among other goodies.
Based on the light novel, it’s a 3 hour scenario based on Shikamaru, filling the gap on what happened after the 4th great shinobi war.
Other issue for PC gamers have been some interface and audio errors that have been remedied with the release of the first patch.
The reviews for the game so far have been great, it’s easily being considered as the Best Fighting Game of 2016, with Street Fighter V apparently being a huge letdown.
