    Crappy character development on Neji's already crappy past and a lot of talking and delaying of the matches. Sure everything is to develop the plot but it sure as hell does it in a pretty boring manner. I've never really liked Neji's past in the first place and in a way this is a blessing in disguise that it won't be touched upon as it provides a conclusion, way too melodramatic. Now that was the first half of the episode, the second half wasn't much better. Just constant jabbering about whether or not Sasuke should be eliminated for his absence. At least the next episode is going to finally provide a worthy fight, which Naruto vs. Neji failed to do.moreless

    After the explosion, Neji gets up and is pushed to his limit. The stadium shook up. Naruto's last move got him good. Neji lost to a shadow clone. Genma the proctor was proven wrong. Neji finally admits and it was shocking that Naruto failed the exams. Naruto gave Neji a confrontation and believes that Neji isn't a failure. Neji is taken away and Hiashi tells the truth. Apparently, Hizashi wanted HIashi to tell him about the past. The death was an escape to freedom. And Neji finally learns to forgive and rests in the medical room. Sasuke hasn't showed up. What on earth?moreless

  • Neji learns the truth behind his father's death.

    Naruto has just defeated Neji in ther match and is hamming it up like he usually does. Neji is taken to the care center where Hiashi comes to visit him. Neji doesn't want him there, but Hiashi insists on telling Neji about his father. Hiashi gives Neji a scroll. Neji recognizes the handwriting as his father's handwriting. He opens the scroll and starts to read. It seems that his father chose to sacrifice his life to save his family and village from war. Neji now realizes that it was not the head household that ordered his father's death, he chose death to protect the ones he loved...moreless

  • The Truth Behind It All.

    By TheBunnySage, Feb 15, 2008 Report Abuse
    This was a great episode because I learned more about how things really happened when Neji's father died. He died to protect his brother, not a member of the Hyuga Head family member. Neji finally felt much better to see that it was not the Head family's fault that his father had died. I felt much better to see that point too. Since Sasuke was not there to battle Garra the battle was rescheduled. I was glad because I knew that Sasuke would come. Kankuro's and Shino's battle was next but Kankuro forfeited so Shikamaru's and Temari's battle was about to begin. Overall this episode went very well because I learned much more about the Hyuga family and Neji's father and uncle.moreless

    • During Neji's flashback in the Enlish dub version, Naruto says that he won't give up because Neji called him a loser. But in the last episode, Naruto really said that it was because people called him a failure. Edit
    • When Neji is thinking about how fate goes and walks to the end of his bed the pillow at the end is missing. But when they show Neji from behind the pillow is back on the bed. Edit
    • When Haishi is bowing down to Neji in apology, the door he walked in is directly behind him. But when Neji accepts his apology the door is off to the right a bit. Edit

    • Shikamaru: Great! If it's going to be like this, maybe I'll withdraw too. Naruto: All right! Go on, Shikamaru, you can do it! (Naruto knocks Shikamaru over the guardrail and into the arena) Shikamaru: (Sarcastically) Yeah, thanks a lot, Naruto. Edit
    • Shikamaru: Aww, come on, what are you doing moving these matches up like this? Why does it have to be my stupid match that gets pushed up? Oh man, this is such a drag! Edit
    • Hizashi: (Written on scroll being read by Neji) Forge your own destiny, Neji. Your fate is something you create with your own hands. Edit
