Titles
How accurate has the website from where the titles were retrieved generally been in the past? Can we assume that these are definitely the correct titles? Kakashi Gaiden does not seem to be involved in any way. Retlor 21:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Always accurate. The Splendiferous Gegiford 21:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So we can assume that there will be no animated KG for the time being then? Retlor 21:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * For the time being, yeah. They may end up animating it eventually, but we don't really know. The Splendiferous Gegiford 18:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

It could be possible, that they could be releasing it as special or include it in the movie. Verde830 17:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

That would be the most logical answer. That or an OVA. Yagikaru 14:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Gaara Dies! Is the incorrect title for episode 17. In reality it is Gaara's Death! The proof of this can be seen at the end of episode 16. It is written out in both Japanese and English at the end of the next episode preview. - UnknownToaster 14:00, 07 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I hope you realize that was Dattebayo's translation. It wasn't there in the non-fansubbed version. "Dies" is a more accurate translation. The Splendiferous Gegiford 23:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Nihongo vs Nihongo-title
Thought this was the best place to start it, as Shippuden begins a new article. I'm oppsoed to using the nihongo-title template, prefering the more universalized and standardized Nihongo template. Nihongo-title seems to be almost a poor copy, resulting in the same features with a less than efficient lay out. Floria L 01:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

No episode on march 8th?
Is there no episode on the 8th? Retlor 02:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

(I'm from it.wiki) from now there'll be probably only an episode every two weeks.. :( fortunately, there'll be also a two-episode special 29th march ;)

--82.88.213.144 17:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There's no episode on the 8th or the 22nd. The Splendiferous Gegiford 17:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Theres a 1 hour special on the 29th, after that its 2 weeks until the next 1 hour special.You Are Ooglay 02:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Next episode
It's already been confirmed that the next episode of Naruto is a 1 hour special entitled "Art is a Blast!" to air March 29, 2007. Episode 5 "As the Kazekage" has already been leaked and subtitled via Dattebayo Fansubs and has confirmed the next episode/air dat.

Couple of changes needed
The float over text on episode one indicates that Tsunade is the kazekage, she is the hokage. Also, the page is still semi-protected (hence I can't make the hokage change myself), however we seem to have lost the semi-protected template. Celain 19:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC) == Tsunade is Godaime which translate is "go" 5 "damine" ruler, lord, hokage the fifth hokage

Image selection guidelines
I think we should decide on some general guidelines for selecting episode images. Here is my proposition: The general idea is to promote reuse of images. Having an image only used in this article and the corresponding episode's article should be avoided whenever possible. –Gunslinger47 18:57, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) If possible, an image should be selected if they can also be used to replace pre-existing manga scans.  For example, in the coming episode, we are likely going to to Sakura use poison extraction jutsu so a good candidate for an episode image would replace Image:(Poison Extraction Technique).PNG.
 * 2) If nothing new is seen in the episode, screenshots should be selected to depict the most significant plot events.


 * Oh, also. PNG and GIF should be avoided unless the uploader knows what they're doing.  Used inappropriately, the file sizes of lossless formats can quickly get out of control. –Gunslinger47 19:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * As a concrete example, I've replaced Image:Naruto Shippūden Ep 2 Naruto and Sakura vs Kakashi.png with Image:Gaara2.JPG. Gaara2.JPG is from episode 2 and is already being used under Gaara to demonstrate his new appearance.  Deleting Naruto....Kakashi.png will save Wikipedia 378 KB.
 * Before I continue making similar changes, does anyone object? –Gunslinger47 20:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Not at all. Just don't go haywire with it =p Sephiroth BCR 07:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Why were the images removed?
What happened to all of the images on the page? ''-Sinthesis- 20:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It was decided that images used on lists just to make them pretty could not qualify for fair-use under the Non-free content policies. It's sad because the list was really looking nice.  I suppose I understand the reason they had to go, however. –Gunslinger47 21:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, come on. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to remove all the images??? Seriously, keep the images as they were, now this article looks horrible. --Putmalk 21:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello everyone

I'm not sure if this was a prank (despite the article is protected) to remove the images or if it was a decision from the admins.

If so let us know, to be honest I liked images posted before, they did depict the main plot of the episode in my opinion.

Peace.

--SGTEdwards


 * I also agree that the images were useful for finding the articles at a glance. In an episode sceenshot can remind me exactly what happened in the episode.  The consensus on Wikipedia, for the moment, appears to be that this isn't adequate justification according to Non-free content guidelines. –Gunslinger47 22:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This latest bout of copyright paranoia is making me lose interest in wikipedia. The list of episodes was already a concession to prevent the creation of a separate article for each episode. Now they want to take out all the images completely? We're already using the minimum of 1 image per episode. How is this different from having 200+ separate articles with 1 image each? — Sandtiger  10:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This new policy of no images sucks! Once again, who's idea was it to take down the images?  This make no sense.  DAMNIT!  Put those pictures back at once.  I'd say it's vandalism to take them down.  Just imagine how much trouble went into uploading them! --Putmalk 22:32, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Whatever you say is irrelevant. If policy is decided, then policy is followed. If you want to change the policy, then attempt to do it through discussion, not that you would have much success in that regard. Sephiroth BCR 22:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe the current mindset is that if something isn't important enough to get its own article, it isn't important enough to need it own fair use image. ~SnapperTo 23:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Understanding Image upload/removal [Wikipedia:Non-free content]
Hello again everyone

I still don’t understand well the reason that the images do not qualify on the article, as Gunslinger47 stated they not fallow Wikipedia:Non-free content. As I read the Wikipedia:Non-free content, uploading a lower resolution (copyrighted) TV screenshot image is allowed, wich a (352x240 pixel) Jpeg/PNG image should qualify on the episode list.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Peace

--SGTEdwards Thursday, May 3 2007, 5:11 GMT-8

Hello once again everyone.

I haven’t got a clear answer on the episode screenshot issue, nor on my (Understanding Image upload/removal [Wikipedia:Non-free content]) that I posted.

Now this only leaves me this question: Will there be any screenshot in the article?

I also have the episodes, I will be more than happy set it on the article (fallowing the [Wikipedia:Non-free content] specifications), but then again, I wont upload them if I don’t get green light by the Admins.

Please let me know about this issue.

Peace.

--SGTEdwards Tuesday, May 8, 4:00 pm GMT-8


 * No. Can't have them. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

From the Wikipedia:Non-free content page,

under Examples of Acceptable Use of images: Film and television screen shots: For critical commentary and discussion of the cinema and television.

and under Examples of Unacceptable Use: 9. An image found on the Internet where the original source is unknown or not verifiable.

It would seem that a. there isn't enough critical commentary / discussion of the shippuuden episodes, and b. were the images being attributed to Dattebayo? or TVTokyo? Who "owns" them?

Wikipedia is probably not interested in getting itself embroiled in the quagmire of Dattebayo's copyright status and whether the images are liscensed.

Arcs
Is it necessary to label the first two episodes as ''Reintroduction Arc? eZio 20:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

revisit on comment reguarding shippuden plot
I earlier on gave advice concerning what to do with shippuden plot page and labeling each arc and I have to say that the details on it should have been kept but separated. I think that intergrating the episode details and with the main plot was not a wise method because of the gap between episodes and manga. I don't think this will cause confusion but could you take the old info and revise it or make a separate page for the details of the manga. I'm simply that the page that was deleted should have been simply divided but everything still there.

More Feedback

 * Holy smokes, I can't believe the Plot page is gone. Clearly it kept getting vandalized and I'll take a long shot and say that's one reason why it got support to be blown away.  So much for providing good value to the stateside non-japenese reading Naruto fans.  It's certainly too late to support the comment on June 25 that makes the point 'Deleting so many months of work is a plain waste.' Articles_for_deletion/Log/2007_June_24
 * For those who say spoilers are bad, take a look at it like; watching porn and getting laid in real-life. It's two totally different things.  The plot summaries are porn, generally in the end they just make you want to go make nice with your significant other.

69.242.184.178 07:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It is not Wikipedia's place to offer a (pornographic?) substitute for reading the source material. Including plot details indiscriminately violates our policies and infringes upon copyright.  WP:NOT.  The amount of work that went into the article is irrelevant to a deletion debate.  It's harsh, but true.
 * As for my advice to Naruto fans who don't read the scanlations, but come here wanting to read indepth summaries of the scanlations... Read the scanlations.  It's not hard.  Your eyes get used to the right-to-left motion rather easily. –Gunslinger47 17:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

naruto shippuden manga
hi.. ive been following the naruto shippuden manga summaries here in the wikipedia. However, I can't seem to find them anymore. Were they deleted? Im not sure if this will be read or be deleted. Thanks.

Episode 24 Summary
I believe the end summary of episode 24 contains some speculation and not fact. "Somehow immune to the effects of the poison, Sakura destroys his puppet with a single punch at the last second." It is not clear if Sakura is actually hit by the attack and poisoned, she could have easily cut herself to make it appear like she was hit with the metal spikes to aid in the deception. We will not know this until Episode 25.

The poison dosen't take effect imidiatly. Kankuro was able to fight for a few minutes after being poisoned. Anyway, 25 is out and we see she was immune to the effects of the poison because of her antidote. 88.110.40.110 17:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Episode 25 Summary
This should really be edited for style: "Sasori is still attacking with his Flamethrowers. While Sakura and Chiyo are still behind the rocks he switches to his water hoses and sprays at them causing them to have to fight and defend and dodge rocks and Sasori's attacks. Then with 15 seconds left till the antidote wears,off Sasori attacks Sakura with the metal spikes and goes to attack Chiyo but Sakura keeps pulling on the slack till there is none left and then pulls him to her and punches him,breaking him into pieces. All of a sudden Sasori reforms himself together and Chiyo pulls out her elite 10 puppets while Sasori pulls out his elite 100. Chiyo tells Sakura not to fight but Sakura says that she should know her personality and that Sakura fights to win but after she finally beats Sasori. Sasori's heart goes into another puppet which then goes behind Chiyo and attacks but Sakura gets back to get in the way of his attack and gets stabbed in the abdominal area with a sword covered in his poison. "

suggest: "Naruto and Kakashi continue to pursue Deidara while Sakura and Chiyo continue the battle with Sasori.  Sakura manages to shatter Sasori's puppet body, but he reforms.  Chiyo summons the "10 puppets of Chikamatsu".  Sasori, remarking on Chiyo's ability to control so many puppets, summons a puppet army and the final battle commences.  Sakura and Chiyo defeat Sasori but, under cover of the battle, Sasori has transferred himself to another puppet and attacks Chiyo from behind.  Sakura intercedes, taking the sword thrust meant for Chiyo."

Season 2
there was no source, or discussion of the split, so i changed it back. if you can provide a source for it to prove it, then you can make that splitRauJ16 14:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * New season usually changes at start of October. It should be also noted that unlike Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden is released by arcs, not by seasons (stages). I think it was based by guess since season is usually thought to be 26 episodes, which is not correct Pahajoki 16:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Take a look at how all the other articles are done. The Splendiferous Gegiford 17:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That doesn't still count as a source for naruto shippuuden season 2 start date, besides even Naruto seasons are wrong.

集英社「週刊少年ジャンプ」誌で連載中の看板コミックのアニメ化「NARUTO-ナルト-」が5th ステージ突入、DVD第1巻リリース!! 第180話「秘術 孔雀妙法の代償」、第181話「星影 葬り去られた真実」、第182話「再会残された時間」、第183話「星は輝きを増して」の4話収録. 4th STAGE総集編DVD「スーパーダイジェスト3」付き豪華2枚組!! from http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ANSB-1870 which translates as "First DVD release from the fifth season of hit anime series 'NARUTO' includes episodes 180 through 183. Also includes a bonus a DVD with a condenced digest version of season 4.".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto_episodes lists it as Seaason 8 and starting at 183.

If it's officially released by arcs how you are to provide source? I have no problem being it like this as long as it's correct. I have also no time to correct Narutos season which isn't correct. Seasons are not strictly around 26. As there is no need to since in Japan series airs mostly without any larger breaks.

Also officially Shippuuden continues numbering from Naruto Pahajoki 18:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything on Wiki is based on precedence. If you change it here you'd have to go through and change it on all the other Naruto episode list articles. It's done the same way on all of those, so there's no reason for this one to be any different. Production companies typically list their seasons in increments of 26 episodes, even if there's no break or special event taking place at that 26th episode. Also, that DVD text says "Stage" which is simply what they call the DVD releases. 12 volumes, one year for each Stage. It has nothing to do with seasons. Here's a full DVD guide if you want to see more The Splendiferous Gegiford 18:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia should not contain information that is unsourced or incorrect. There is no officials seasons in Naruto because it is running without breaks whole year. I'm still for splitting shippuuden by arcs because it's the way it's OFFICIALLY RELEASED. Is there need to add "seasons" if it's something that page editors have decided? Pahajoki 19:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Why does Geg keep spliting the season, he should bring it to the talk page, that way we can end this edit war before it escalates. RauJ16 21:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to change it so that it doesn't split every 26 episodes you should bring it up on the main Naruto talk page. Leaving this page like this makes the articles inconsistent. The Splendiferous Gegiford 21:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Why should it be brought up there, it does not concern that article, it concerns this one. and just because it wil make the articles inconsistent does not qualify the edit, however an official, or reliable source that season one finished, does. RauJ16 21:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Because it doesn't just concern this article, but all the Naruto episode list articles. A broad subject should be brought up in a broader, more all-inclusive area. The Splendiferous Gegiford 21:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * This does not concern the other Naruto episode list, only this one. RauJ16 21:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Besides that, if you look on the individual Naruto episode lists by season, the episodes are divided up by arc. And using your own reasoning, this means that all the Naruto episode lists should be made to conform with all other anime episode lists, which should be made to conform with all television show episode lists. It's pretty obvious that this wouldn't work. --Dinoguy1000 Talk 06:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

English release for the Naruto Shippuden movie
Considering that at the current rate, it will be several years before the English version of Naruto will end (and thus the English version of Naruto Shippuden will begin), and the release of the movie will almost certainly not occur until after that time, is it really necessary to have an "English release date" column for the movie? Some ongoing series don't even have this column for seasons that haven't started airing yet (see e.g. List of Blood+ episodes), so why should it be there for a movie from a series whose start is still several years off? --Dinoguy1000 Talk 06:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, this would make sense, however, i think its more for conformity, i think that the other Naruto movies have the English section. and there is some debate as to whether it will be two years or seven months befoer we get to shippuden, because i think that the large sat of fillers wont be aired as part of the regular show. 71.206.136.69 18:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, if you want to get into conformity, then the English column should either be removed from the movie section to conform with the series section, or it should be added to the series section to conform with the movie section. I think that's actually the main reason I brought this up in the first place. Also, you wouldn't happen to have a link for the debate you mentioned, would you? --Dinoguy1000 Talk 16:59, 5 September(UTC)


 * no, im sorry, i dont remember the site, but i think that it should be removed, simply because it'll match the style for the page, so if its still there, i personally dont mind you removing it, if someone else does, you will see it in the reverts. Rau J16 18:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, someone else beat me to the punch. The column has been gone for a few days now. --Dinoguy1000 Talk 21:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Raven:well i know it will take a while for the movie and episodes to come but what i want them to do is to get to the main point.i was watching naruto episodes and they were just missions after missions.....and the naruto episodes should not be 200 episodes because sasuke is gone and they should do something else instead of trying t0o tell us what is the point of each episode.in the first episodes they were telling the life of naruto.then thats when i started to hate the show with sasuke's life ending episodes.so just read the manga or watch the episodes somewhere else like google because after sasuke leaves the village there is nothing else but boring naruto missions episodes. 3/10/08

Episodes
Someone keeps adding random episodes to the Sasuke and Sai arc. There is no episode called nightmare as such and there wont be any more damn episodes on the sasuke and sai arc.

Filler
This upcoming season is going to be a filler, so the name should be changed from "Hidan & Kakuzu Arc" to "Current Arc." Flaming Mustang (talk) 17:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you have any proof? Rau's Speak Page 23:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The new opening introduces five new characters that didn't appear in the manga, and Hidan and Kakuzu are only shown in a single Akatsuki group shot. However, they're mixing the filler in with the original story, specifically Naruto's training. I'd guess these new characters, which appear to be priests from some other ninja village (Moonlight, or something?), are probably to provide further exposition for Asuma and/or Hidan and Kakuzu. WtW-Suzaku (talk) 12:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I was about to ask that. Are these characters somehow related to second shippuden movie or they are just mixing a filler arc within the original arc? --Fotte (talk) 13:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think they're related to the second movie; as far as the filler, it's been added to make the story more interesting (if you read the manga, you know that Naruto's training gets very boring after 30 chapters). Hidan & Kakuzu will most likely not be featured for many episodes to come, and if they do appear it will be minor. That's why I suggested the section be changed to 'Current Arc,' because it seems this story won't reflect on Hidan/Kakuzu. Flaming Mustang (talk) 20:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Why the Heck is there filler anyway?--71.123.249.135 (talk) 13:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)Pocket


 * Often, anime shows have filler episodes to allow the manga-ka to put some distance between the manga and the anime. This can be quite important for long-running series like Naruto and Bleach, since adopting a manga to anime format moves much faster than writing the manga in the first place. — Dino guy  1000  15:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

 * dear god, more fillers -.- just keep it like it is for now-- The Last Uchiha  10:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no source that it is almost done, it just feels that way because of all of the plot threads coming to a close. And it seems like they are just padding out the arc with filler, but not a filler arc. Rau's Speak Page 21:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You can't have filler in a manga, although you can have padding. Everything happens for a reason...well, except for Mizu and Gouzu, they didn't really serve a purpose except to make Gato mad...but that's neither here nor there. In comparison, I see Bleach ending before Naruto, but I feel that they'll last at least until next year.Akatsuki.sousui (talk) 17:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright, the second episode in this "Current Arc" is out and it's sticking to the manga, but this upcoming "Squirm" episode is definitely NOT manga, and IS filler. So it seems like they're mixing manga and filler at the same time, ("watering it down", if you will,) to extend the arc, OR trying to make the whole "Naruto Training arc" more interesting. Probably both. In any case, this should be added somewhere after the next episode airs, just to be sure. Spehizle (talk) 04:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

naruto+clones = naruto?
ok, this is a somewhat philosophical point, but ppl are reverting some text distinguishing naruto from his clones. i contend that naruto+clones != naruto because as soon as he creates a clone, their experiences diverge until the clone is dispersed. hypothetically, if naruto were to create a clone that he never dispersed, it would technically be a twin b/c their experiences would never reintegrate and they could live completely different lives until death. the text which is getting reverted specifically deals with divergence of experience and its eventual reintegration. i think the text should reflect that a clone's experience is different from naruto's own experience as long as the clone is active and that the clone isn't naruto. i won't revert anything as i don't know what ppl think about this issue, but i did want to put my thoughts out here. --Wongba (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That is a very interesting theory. And the difference should be noted, but no more than that. Anything else is OR. Rau's Speak Page 02:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * if u agree w/ me, take a look at my last revert to the article and see if u agree w/ the old wording vs the new one. and yeah, i wouldn't put any of this in the text. i just feel there's a difference. --Wongba (talk) 06:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think a mixture of the two should be placed. Kakashi never suggested that Naruto send a clone, he came up with that nugget on his own. And continual mention of the clone fact gets irritating to read. In all respects at that time and place the clone is still Naruto, not much difference between the clone and the real one yet. Rau's Speak Page 10:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I was the second person to revert that, and at the time, I was only following the lead of the first revert. I'm not actually opinionated on the issue, and could go either way with it. — Dino guy  1000  16:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the 2nd Movie
I've read the manga up to the point where Sasuke decides to bring down Konoha, now if he wants to do that, wouldn't the movie be contradictory? Is that why they're making so many fillers now?

 * From Naruto Shippuden episode 70's ending, Orochimaru is alive in the movie. My take would be that "Bonds" takes place before Sasuke rebels against Orochimaru and forms "Snake". But someone would have to watch the movie to verify exactly.


 * What is snake? If u are referring to the team he forms after he absorbs orochimaru, then i think u mean hawk, or falcon, im not sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.198.128 (talk) 01:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

At first, he names the group snake, but changes it when he discovers that Itachi was Ordered to kill his family let alone Sasuke.

Filler Recognition
I've noticed that the most recent filler arc has started dipping into the original source material. Can someone please recognise the filler episodes so viewers know what they're watching?

 * No. We do not mark individual episodes as filler. It is an non-neutral, fan-based label that is not a notable aspect of the series. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 05:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you should rethink this policy. As a fan and a viewer I want to watch canon-stuff only or know what is filler.  At the very least, can anyone tell me if/where the filler has ended? OUChevelleSS (talk) 00:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Music table
why am i discussing this

The way it is now, the paragraph telling about the theme music is a big block of artist/song names, kanji, random numbers, etc. It's dizzying at first glance. Putting the information into a table is much cleaner and makes it easier to utilize. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 02:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * For consistency, let's keep the discussion together since this list should reflect the current list, and in the end it is a similar issue. This list probably needs division like the main list as well, which would move the info to the respective lists and break up the big block of text, negating the issue.

76-77: Akatsuki vs Team Asuma WILL be aired on the 25th
Some wikipedians (whom I won't directly name) have thrown the term Reliable sources around an awful lot as an excuse to make all sorts of edits and revisions (including one instance that I've seen, reverting / undoing somebody's good faith efort to remove text that was NOT written from a neutral point of view, as such the reversion ended up restoring text with a writing style that was not generally considered apropriate on wikipedia). RAWR! Today I came across an outright trend with reversions that defy logic: Why do people keep reverting any attempts to post info regarding one or more episodes slated to air on the 25th ... Specifically, there will be a two-part episode with the title "Akatsuki vs Team Asuma" ... I'm badly wanting to use weasel words describing the reverts / removals of such a consensus that is simple enough to "verify" ... when I "asked google" anyway: Naruto Shippuuden 76 "September 25" 2008 --Kuzetsa (talk) 06:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If there is a reliable source, then give it with the additions. Otherwise, yes, they will be removed. You can dislike it all you want, but WP:V is a core Wikipedia policy, and considering the issues with people making up episodes, asking for a source for a future episode is not at all unreasonable. What is unreasonable is throwing a rant on the talk page with thinly veiled insults claiming there are "tons of sources" instead of just adding the episode with an actual reliable source the first time it was asked for. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 06:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Episode 76 and 82
Episode 76 (titled "The Next Step" "Tsuginaru suteppu" (次なる段階) according to us) doesn't translate well. To me, it should be "The Next Stage." There's nothing in there that says "suteppu" since that should be written as "ステップ". I'm just saying that the romaji is wrong in this case. Also, on 82, isn't "Squad 10" supposed to be "Juuhan" or "Daijuuhan" (for "the 10th squad")? Also also, where are some of these titles coming from? The "official" Japanese list goes up to 79, so where do 80-82 come from? Akatsuki.sousui (talk) 18:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed, the fact that the user points out filler is a self derivevd term pretty much says it all. Fillers are not an official labelling by any means, and have no place. Wikipedia is not the place for fan opinion Dandy Sephy (talk) 01:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, instead of erasing all my labels you should erase the wrong one, the one you say has manga content, because i know that in the middle of a filler episode we can see itachi killing (or so) a two tailed bijuu, but thats all, the part when sasuke fights 100 man is from the manga as well, but these cases are 1 minute of animation in the whole chapter, and this happens only twice on this season, besides i realized that off course that this is original research, we the editors watched the anime and read the manga so we know perfectly wich episode is a filler or not, but we have to help the users to know wich chapter is a filler or no, i'm not violating any wikipedia guideline, and as i said before, original research is not bad in this case, is even the only way, wich other way do you know to make this article?--Starlingmaximilian (talk) 01:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * ALL of your labels are wrong. "Filler" is purely a fan label, and has no place is an encyclopedic article, which is what this is. This is a list of the episodes of the anime series, period. You have already had it explained to you by multiple editors that this is wrong. You yourself acknowledge that this is WP:OR. And yes, you ARE violating Wikipedia policies (not just guidelines), and are knowingly adding your personal opinions to this article. Yes, it is bad in this case and in ALL cases. The article is made, it doesn't "need" filler labels. It is already in good shape. This isn't a place for fan-oriented trivia.-- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Suggestion Why not have a next to all the ones featured in the anime but not the manga, with a footnote at the end? That'd make everyone happy wouldn't it?   D r e a m Focus  01:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Its tantamount to the same thing - it's still original research/trivia. It's bad enough doing it in the body, doing it as a cite note is even worse. None of our featured lists have it (including Naruto lists), and they wouldn't pass with it. Dandy Sephy (talk) 01:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The only way I see this would be resolved with noting filler somehow if a reviewer happened to mention it was filler. (AKA this. By the way, that's for plain Naruto.) ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 01:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I retract what i said, i saw the WP:OR and i'm not doing original research, cause im not adding "unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position" besides the term "filler" is a valid one, but if the community doesn't agree i'm willing to use the "original anime episode" or "episode not existing on the manga" even i'm wiling to add at the side of every episode name the number of their respective manga chapter ,thus the ones that hasn't a chapter number are obviosly fillers. even saying this i have to say that the term filler is a valid one.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 02:03, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO, that's more WP:OR than noting whether the episode material is in the manga or not. And it is OR because it is an unpublished idea and unpublished synthesis of published material ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 02:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course it's OR, it's applying a fan opinion and term to official content. Please do not add chapter numbers, it's completely innapropriate. As previously said, this is an anime list, and should reflect the anime. Dandy Sephy (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't help your case when you continually edit war over the labels. But I've already explained at WT:ANIME why the label are bad anyways. --Farix (Talk) 02:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry but the term "filler" is not an opinion, and is a term that is well known among everyone, itzjustdrama just gave a link from a reviewer using this term, and we all know what it is.

I have to say that i don't think is inapropiate to put the manga episode number at the side of every anime episode name. this anime is an adaptation from a manga, so it is apropiate.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 02:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Reviewers give their opinions when writing reviews, thats just basic. It's a term created by fans, used by fans. Wikipedia is not a fansite, it's an encylopedia. Being adapted from a manga is no reason to add chapter numbers. Dandy Sephy (talk) 02:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Dandy Sephy above. It's a list about the anime and should deal with the anime. It should not compare the content with the source material. The source material should only be mentioned to note the sourcew material. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 02:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * the filler episodes must be added because is very important information for the anime fans, i know this is a enciclopedia but who do you think that read this article??? art colectionists?? the ones that enter this article are fans!! and the fans want to know wich chapters are fillers!! is this so hard to understand? this article is for fans! and you are denying information that is very important for them, can't you see that?Starlingmaximilian (talk) 02:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm a fan of the series thanks, and I don't care either way about which ep is filler and which isn't - so please don't get upset while trying to prove your point because it won't affect my judgement as a editor. Please stop trying to base your edits on what you believe fans want, when we are not a fan orientated site. It won't convince anyone Dandy Sephy (talk) 02:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What about the Random article button? We are not here to guess who will read this article. What if I were a non-anime fan who, on the advice of my anime fan friend, wanted to watch Naruto: Shippuden and wanted to know how many episodes. I wouldn't care if the episodes were from the manga or not. On the other hand, I might. In addition, who are you to decide "which are filler episodes" is very important information for anime fans. I'm an anime fan and simply do not care. That's making it more important than it is (WP:UNDUE?) As I said on WT:ANIME, if they want to know which are filler, they should compare to the corresponding chapter list, which is linked in the See also section. Or they can go to a site that is actually fan oriented. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 02:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, if they just want to see the manga animated, then I assume they read the manga. Therefore, they would know which is original to the anime just by reading the article. The episode summaries are done well enough to tell. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 03:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Is a fact that is important information, many people come here looking for the filler episode labels, you can google naruto and you will see most of the fans complaining about the fillers, but i'm nobody to tell the people if these episodes are great or are lame, but you and the other editors are denying information and that is horrible. label the episodes and let the people decide if the episode is good or bad, adding this information does not goes against an encyclopedia, remember that the term "filler" is not necesary, we can use another term.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 03:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I still believe it's not important information on an article dealing with the anime adaption. As I see it, the manga adaption could never exist and the article would barely change. So there's no point in making it deal even more with the manga series. Technically, they're separate series. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 03:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * maybe is not important to you but it is important for a lot of people visiting this article right now. It is important besides because the anime fillers has (most of the times) plot inconcistencies, i agree that the term filler is a bad one, and i don't really mind using another one, but the thing here is that labeling the anime only episodes we are adding important information for a lot of people, and the people that doesn't mind about the filler episodes will not see any harm if we label those episodes. besides if we found a proper term instead of filler we are not violating any of the wikipedia policies.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 03:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * None of these "inconsistencies" are addressed by the article (and doing so is outside the scope of the article, so that won't change), so where is the benefit in pointing this out? Additionally, Naruto is mixing "filler" with "non-filler" more and more as it goes on, how do you propose addressing this? Labelling as "filler" would be incorrect, but so would be calling them "non-filler". You are just introducing issues that don't need addressing. I'm yet to see a convincing arguement for keeping the expected page quality and staying within policy and guidelines, as well as concensus that also adds this information. You should build a convincing arguement for why this information should be added that complys with quality and standards, rather then looking for alternative terms or trying to convince us the information is useful. Information should be useful to everyone, asking people to ignore information they aren't interested in is rather questionable. In contrast, adding information that only fans would be interested in is also questionable. Dandy Sephy (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Tried to post this earlier, but my internet went out. That isn't original research, its common sense, just like plot summaries are.  You can look at the summary of manga chapters even, and do a quick comparison, to see where the group of anime only episodes come in.  List_of_Gantz_episodes has a note up top indicating which episodes are anime only.  No reason not to give a brief mention here, for those interested.   D r e a m Focus  03:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I still don't see how that warrants its inclusion on an article dealing only with the anime adaptation. That reasoning would warrant the reverse: note whether the manga material shows up in the anime adaption on the chapter list. As List of Naruto chapters (Part II) deals only with the manga, this article deals only with the anime. No comparisons added. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 03:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Its about the episodes, so mentioning an important fact about them, that they were based on a manga except for certain ones, is an important fact to have.  D r e a m Focus  03:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Theres nothing wrong with stating a reliable third party source (not a fansite) that says some episodes were not based on the manga. In fact, such a sentance should probably be in the lead anyway, providing it's backed up by a decent reference (hard to come by). It's not important or necessary to give specific episodes - at least, not in the current list (in individual season lists it may be more suitable) Dandy Sephy (talk) 03:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe "based on" implies the directors took liberties and the series is not a carbon copy of the manga. Then again, it only implies. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 03:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Section break

 * It current reads "They are based on Part II of the Naruto manga series by Masashi Kishimoto". Is that information accurate?  How close are the story lines for the series?  Does everything that happens in Episode 1, happen in issue one of the manga?  They don't always use every single line that is in the manga, but do they ever add anything, or make any real changes?  Are there any reasonable objections, towards adding a sentence which states that episodes 1 through whatever, closely follow the manga, while episodes whatever to whatever, are anime only?   D r e a m Focus  03:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, as it stands it's original research. Still. No matter how many arguements about who wants what, it still fails this key point. As Original research is suitable for deletion (unverifiable through reliable sources, andWP:V is policy after all), there is no point adding it - it'll just get deleted. On a fairly high profile article like this, usually not long after it's added. Dandy Sephy (talk) 03:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Translation: Because you and the rest of the regular Anime and manga delitionists crew, have decided something should be certain way, and are camped out here, anything someone tries to add you don't like will get reverted, so don't bother trying. Disgusting.  I see the same familiar names everywhere, bullying other editors, determined to enforce what they decided on their own must be the proper way of things.  If the consensus is that it isn't original research but COMMON FUCKING SENSE, then that fact can be added and kept.  Its up to the interpretation of everyone, not just a handful of people who make a thousand edits a day, and spend every waking moment on the wikipedia.   D r e a m Focus  04:54, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You making bad faith generalizations does not help the matter. My interpretation is that it is original research because it relies on combining information from more than one reference. And it seems that consensus is that it is OR. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 04:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I wonder just who is the real bully here. After all, to be a bully requires the editor to be uncivil towards other. Disagreeing with another editor and countering their points is in no way, shape, or form bullying. It is what we normal people call debate. --Farix (Talk) 11:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, it is accurate. They have the same bare bones plot. Uses the same main characters. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 04:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you think is accurate just because the manga and the anime uses the same main characters? saying that is like saying that the "iron maiden" comic of evangelion and the evangelion anime has the same plot... are you really serious? do you even know what are you saying? besides is not original research if we just put a term like "non manga chapter" or something like that.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 04:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I said based because it has the same plot in addition to having the same main characters. I'm sorry if I was unclear. And yes, it is OR until referenced. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 04:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The fillers just have the same characters but not the same plot.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 04:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So therefore it is not based on the manga (one of the points of this discussion, no?). My point was based mainly due to the same plot supported by having the same characters. I can rename and redesign every character and the fact will be: the series is based on the manga. Therefore, the sentence is accurate. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 04:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Your Evangelion analogy is hugely flawed. Naruto's anime is an adaption of the manga. The plot is mostly the same. Iron maiden is an alternate universe story. The characters are the same, but it doesn't follow the same plot. All you've said is that an apple is different from an orange (very different), when you mean to say that a Golden Delicious apple is different to a Granny Smith apple (almost identical, but with minor differences). Dandy Sephy (talk) 04:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * that analogy was flawed on purpose to make a point, i'm sorry you didn't catch it.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 04:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

"Do not put together information from multiple sources to reach a conclusion that is not stated explicitly by any of the sources." - WP:OR

What we really have here are two different issues; first, whether you can state if an episode follows the manga plot without violating policy. Second, whether it is particularly relevant to the average reader. Policy-wise, common sense reasoning should tell you that unless you have a reliable source stating this information, including the information would be original research. If you find reliable sources that states this information, then we can talk about its suitability in this article. -- Kraftlos  (Talk | Contrib) 09:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I dont need any "reliable source" because i'm using the manga and the anime, i'm using the source itself, the sybthesis rule is for articles, not sources, please understand that rule. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starlingmaximilian (talk • contribs) 13:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * But such source never says its filler.Tintor2 (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * If you want to go down tha tline you will need to label ever episode as filler because each episode that is repesenting the manga has stuff in it that was not in the manga to fill the epsiode otu more, if oyu can provide a realible source that states these are fillers then AMP might reconsider labeling them--Andrewcrawford (talk) 13:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Saying that an episode is filler is a point of view, since it's a word with negative connotations. This violates WP:NPOV, since "filler" is not neutral.
 * As for reliable sources, the anime, if it calls itself filler, is a reliable source. Otherwise, by comparing manga and anime and drawing a conclusion, you are conducting synthesis, which is original research.
 * And Andrewcrawford, sarcasm isn't helping. --Raijinili (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How was i being sarcastic? because i can assur eyou i was not i was only making a point--Andrewcrawford (talk) 15:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * First forget about the term filler, i agree it has negative connotations,we can use another term like "original anime plot episode" or something like that.

Second, we don't need the anime to call itself a filler, i'm using two sources to make a comparison, the rule of the synthesis apllies only with referenced articles, but this is not the case because i'm using the source itself. this also is not "advancing a point" because i'm not giving a conclusion, i'm just citing a fact, and please this is very important, making a conclusion would be original research, but in this case is about making a comparison.Starlingmaximilian (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * To make a comparison you need to eventually make a conclusion. ~ Itzjustdrama ?  C 21:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Read that quote again, unless the manga or the anime explicitly state that an episode is filler or that its an original story, then stating that is original synthesis. And no, the policy on original research applies to all articles on Wikipedia, lists included. -- Kraftlos  (Talk | Contrib) 04:21, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Section break 2
This is what I was able to gather from the discussion above -
 * It seems that most people agree that an episode being a filler or not is an important pice of information
 * Filler episodes haven't been officially mentioned by the makers or there isn't a reliable source, so it's being claimed as OR

Have I been able to follow the discussion properly so far? Or have I missed something? eZio (talk) 10:32, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that most people agree that labeling an episode as filler or not is important. All of the discussion here and at WT:ANIME says the exact opposite. --Farix (Talk) 11:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I missed the discussion at WT:ANIME. I agree, the tagging each episode with a tag will cause a lot of clutter. Although like you've already mentioned we should briefly mention the fact some of epsiodes/arcs (and which) are not based on the manga in the introduction. eZio (talk) 11:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok then, what about mentioning on the begining of the article wich episodes are "fillers"?Starlingmaximilian (talk) 16:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Still OR. The only important thing is to mention is that Naruto Shippuden is based on the Naruto manga.Tintor2 (talk) 19:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think we can safely say that what you just said is the consensus, we can mention that its based on the Manga because its highly likely that we'll find a source saying that. Anything else, we'll need sources before we can even talk about whether or not it should be included.  -- Kraftlos  (Talk | Contrib) 20:56, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can someone please explain to me why Movie pages can have lengthy descriptions about the difference between the movie and the book on which it was based, but then with anime, we have to draw a strict line between the show/movie and the graphic-book on which it was based? You either have to allow a written description on the Season pages outlining which material was directly from the manga/ what wasn't, or you have to go to the 1000s of Movie pages and remove those descriptions.

Marking Filler vs. Not Marking Filler
I wrote this on a different (now archived) thread but received no response and would like one: " Can someone please explain to me why Movie pages can have lengthy descriptions about the difference between the movie and the book on which it was based, but then with anime, we have to draw a strict line between the show/movie and the graphic-book on which it was based?

 * Find reliable sources, then we can talk about it. As no one seems capable of doing this across many different requests on many different series, dragging the discussion back up yet again isn't likely to interest anyone unless you can. And please excuse us if we get irritated about it, because there are only so many times we can say the same thing without getting irritated. Aside from ther term 'filler' being inappropriate, theres nothing wrong with saying that something was not adapted direct from the manga (in the article lead), but it needs a reliable source to do so (i.e. not random fansites). No exceptions. If it's not supported by reliable sources it shouldn't be in the article anyway. Dandy Sephy (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, but you ignored my main question. What about the 1000s of American movies with articles on this site that include sections about the differences between their content and the books on which they were based. From what I can tell, most of those descriptions have no 3rd party source beyond the content of the book/movie. Do those relevant sections need to be deleted? --Whoa2000 (talk) 02:26, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If they are not sourced to reliable, third-party sources yes. Otherwise it is purely WP:OR and against Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

It seems this happens with almost all the anime that air in North America. The English dates of the episodes are needing a reliable source. The Viz site only shows the episodes titles and not the dates.Tintor2 (talk) 19:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Season 9?
Could someone please clarify on what grounds was a season 9 created? What's the source for episodes 176 onward being a new season? -- Geodefender (talk) 13:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC) kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


 * If the split is unsourced it should be reverted. Anyone? -- Geodefender (talk) 10:57, 21 September 2010 (UTC)kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


 * Agree. There's no sources that proves the existence of a season 9. We already had the same problem with Bleach.Tintor2 (talk) 14:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


 * Yes, I remember (we were the ones who discussed it at the time, BTW). Could someone please take care of the necessary corrections? -- Geodefender (talk) 19:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


 * Just pattern recognition, basically. The start of a new arc is generally when the DVD titles change, and ending with 175 would make the total amount of episodes in season 8 be divisible by 4, meaning it would fit at the end of a DVD. But you're right, there's no real source for it yet; this is just the first time anyone has ever brought the issue up. If you want the two articles to be combined again, that's fine. Geg (talk) 17:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)fsedbfhbeskjdbfkhgweskhebfjgeshbhfgshghse


 * I understand. Since we have no real source for establishing if season 9 starts with episode 176, 180 or another, I've combined the two articles and made the necessary changes (removed season 9 from the template and from the main article, moved ep. 176-180 to season 8 and turned season 9 into a redirect). If I've overlooked something or made any mistakes, please go ahead and fix them. Until the DVDs come out let's leave it at that. -- Geodefender (talk) 17:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)


 * and just throwing it out there, it should be noted that this is the most boring and shi**iest arc or season ever. lol jk i know you cant put that.

but still am i the only who thinks that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.200.235.82 (talk) 00:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

English dubbed
Can some one tell me where to find naruto shippuden episodes in English dubbed cause I haven't watch any since the first season I notice one this page that there are English air dates but yet I can't find any......??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emj918 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

July 2013
The "New Episodes" were revealed for July 2013, but I believe them to be fake. First of all, why would the episode be called "Uchiha Madara". Viz Media would definitely call it "Madara Uchiha." Second, there are no citations, so there is no proof that these episodes actually exist. They could be real, but I doubt it. July 2013 MAY have a couple canon episodes, but it's not likely. That is all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuzer1000 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Stop vandalizing the Naruto pages.
I just had to spend an hour undoing alot of damage to the Naruto Episodes pages. I will be monitoring this daily to ensure that everything stays the way it should. People shouldn't have false info shoved at them

I was asked to explain the issue. Well here it is. I have relied on this site to let me know when the next set of episodes come out for Naruto Shippuden english dubbed. So I have visited this page a lot. They release ten to twelve episodes every ten weeks, which started January of 2016. Today, when I visited this site to confirm that July 4th was my next day to watch the next set, I noticed that all the dates on the episodes, starting with the episodes that aired on January 26, 2016 had been changed. They were now listed in week intervals, which wasn't accurate at all, because I caught each set the day they were released. So I spent an hour, using my secondary source and memory to get all the episodes back to the dates they are supposed to be. I beg that this page, and every season page of Naruto are made protected except for a few that monitior the series and can make sure the next dates get added when they are announced.

 * Please explain the issue and the fellow editors might come to help LordShozin. We could request for this page to be protected if it is often vandalized. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 02:17, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * What are the sources for the air dates? No dates after November 5, 2011 have been cited to a reliable source and are therefore subject to challenge. If you want to assert that your dates are correct, then you need to provide a reliable source. —Farix (t &#124; c) 03:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

The Source is Fandom, Naruto Wikia. I know it sounds fishy, but that site has its Naruto pages monitored 24 hours a day to make sure bad changes do not happen — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordShozin (talk • contribs) 03:39, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * These would not qualify as reliable sources. If reliable sources are not cited, then all air dates after November 5, 2011 may be removed. —Farix (t &#124; c) 03:47, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * So apparently, everything after September 26, 2015 is a DVD release. We don't count DVD releases as air dates nor include them in the episode lists. (1, 2, 3) Therefore, I will be stripping the DVD release dates from the episode lists. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Then I will have to just change the pages to list DVD Release instead of Air Date. LordShozin (talk) 23:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Please don't. We don't treat DVD release dates as if they are air dates. We don't do this with any other television series, and there is no reason for this list to be an exception. Besides, there is already a section that includes the DVD releases on the list. —Farix (t &#124; c) 23:35, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Can we get English Dub release dates back please. Otherwise, this page is incomplete. - Everyone.

Updating the Episode Listing Chart
Add the English release dates up through episode 458. All English release dates up to 458 are easily found on Viz Media’s website. No reason this chart should have been left without updates for almost two years. Even the DVD box set section has the English releases listed through 458.

 * Are you referring to air dates or release dates? All DVD release dates are listed in the home video section. All air dates for both Japanese and English broadcasts are listed on the episode tables. I'll note that episode 312 was the last episode aired in English at this time. That is why there are no English air dates listed after that episode. —Farix (t &#124; c) 19:37, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
