Also episode 21.
Summary time.
Episode 21: Sasuke and Sarada. Apparently they turn Sakura into a saintly martyr by accepting all the blame for the failure of SS.
Episode begin with them showing the true picture in the frame...didn't they do that three episode ago? What is this to remind the audience of it? Naruto receive Sasuke's hawk...oh this is a recap to show how events led to Sasuke pulling out his sword on his daughter isn't it? Did they really have to keep the fat filler's joke. Oh they even soften that by having Sasuke not pull out the sword immediately but kind of use it as a threat to add to his question after asking instead of when.
Opening.
Shizune is in the hospital and Sakura wakes up. She informs Sakura where Salad went. From what I recall from the gaiden Sakura was already awake and up and clearly had a discussion with Shizune about what Salad was doing while she was out. Here Shizune doesn't want her out of bed, and is now explaining what Salad is doing while she was asleep. Sakura...looks sad(?) when she is informed. Old enough to question about her father she's 8-12 most single kids start asking by 5. Sakura thought that if Sasuke was nearby that Salad would be brought into Sasuke's conflicts, and bring that stupid Sharingan emotion excuse.
Salad clearly did not answer Sasuke's question fast enough so he thrust & embeds his sword into the pillar behind her. Oh he finally realizes she his daughter. You knew right away he was your dad you had a photo! Even if she think everything Sakura has said is a lie you have the Hokage backing up she's Sasuke's daughter. Fat filler joke when she sees Sasuke. Wow Sasuke is much nicer then in the manga and Salad is far less aggressive.
Oh this is where Sakura and Shizune are seen in the manga where Salad is. Here they are making the claim that Salad has had the Sharingan for a long time. Also since Sasuke is so self-conscious that if she knew that Sasuke was a former criminal... well they don't say what so I guess shame. Wait was their another picture with Sasuke where he wear prison cloths or something? Here they say Sakura was intentionally keeping a secret instead of just covering up her horrible marriage. Oh there that failure as a mother line. So this entire scene is anime original.
Oh now she is aggressively asking Sasuke. Oh they add Naruto commenting on the photo instead of just watching this all with a very confused face. So this is set up to dismisses the photo later on. In the manga we don't see Sasuke face when he tells her this had nothing to do with her. Here we see kind of a soften expression to try making his dismissal seem kinder. Since in the manga it could be assumed he just ignored all her question and was talking about why he brought Naruto their. Here he clearly trying to keep what ever both he and Sakura are hiding a secret. They added in Naruto saying Sasuke should explain why he won't go back to the village instead of him just rushing off to check on Salad. They change the flashback removing Sakura and the other kages and just making it Sasuke and Naruto. Also they added Naruto suggesting he stop by his house. Also they add that this is Sasuke's atonement where in the original he just wanted keep a secret. Also they added Naruto says no one has any bitterness towards Sasuke anymore, also they can both work together to protect the village as the hokage (so setting up that "the supporting shadow" bs). Instead of Naruto thinking he should join the search if its that important. No they add he wants his movement to be kept a secret. So they pretty much changed that entire scene.
Fat filler, and they added more scenes of her. Naruto talks to Salad. Wait she was asking if Sakura was her real mother (among others) not if Sasuke was a good ninja. So Sakura sneaks out in this instead of just leaving after being told what Salad was doing. Shin now they finally show his eye. Sasuke looks at where he stabs the pillar with clear regret. Fat filler wants Sasuke and Salad to share a bag of chips. They are trying really hard to justify her presence here. They add at lot to this episode that wasn't in the manga. Here Salad was going to find Karin, but Naruto holds her wrist and tells her to go talk to Sasuke one more time. Shin attacks. Battle. Wait his rinnegan is different. Oh good fat filler in this isn't eating chips while watching the fight complain about how Salad has a hot dad. Also in the manga it seems Naruto did not know about Sasuke switching power despite him having it for over 15 years by that point. Oh right Shin uses Sasuke's sword to stab Naruto through his eye power. aw, Sasuke doesn't have the same shock face that he had in the manga. Sasuke is stab. And yet even when they are trying to make her Saintly they still can't make her punch as epic as it was in the manga. Here its very generic. Wow they made Naruto and Salad face to blase for this scene. Added in Salad wonders who team 7 are. Changed Sakura walks over to them. Sakura after a few moment walks pass Sasuke in what seems to be an important moment then hugs Salad that she is glad she is ok. Then she talks to Sasuke about their situation. Oh here Sakura sacrifices herself to save Salad instead of just getting caught when everyone guard was down.
They changed a lot in this episode from the manga.
Episode 22: Connected Feelings. So the DNA test should be this episode.
Naruto can't find them with Sage mode. Sakura sees a child die, as well as be informed that Shin used to work for orochimaru as well as all those boys are shin's clones.
Opening.
They decide to go to Orochimaru. They apparently keep Orochimar under strict surveillance instead of just having Tenzo outside the front door. Oh she doing the chip thing again. She did do that at this point in the manga. Naruto says they should stick together.
Sakura asks why he doesn't care about his clones. He goes off on a rant about bodies just being vessel of genes. Then Sakura talks about the bond between parents then genes. Then he brings up his conflict rant.
Oh it is more then just tenzo outside the front door. Now there are three guys. They do in meet everyone once they enter. Oh they kept the Fat filler's Orochimaru transgender joke though they make it much less harsh then it was in the manga. Wow it feels like they are speeding this along. Orochimaru explains what shin is. Oorchimaru brings up the gene thing again, and point out Sasuke passed on his gene to Salad. Orochimaru is helping them out in the anime because of Cups, he ask Naruto about him, and Naruto says he doing fine well at least in the anime we now know Naruto knew his backstory. *Looks at the manga* They seem to stripped a lot of the Orochimaru scene out to speed it up. Salad ask Suigetsu about Karin, then for a DNA test. So he knows about the umbilical cord. Oh right they thought this was Karin's umbilical cord. A perfect match. A flashback to Sakura saying Sakura and Sasuke are connected. Suigetsu walks out the room and talks to Naruto looking very apologetic compared to the manga. Wow they are into chapter 8. They add Naruto holding up a mirror to Salad when she says she not going to rescue Sakura because she not her mother. Clearly implying that she looks a lot like Sakura. Trying to quickly dismiss that DNA test.Naruto gives his speech to Salad about blood and gene don't matter it's bonds that matter. The extent of the bond with her dad is pretty much none existent though beyond genes, even after the gaiden. Now the flashbacks. Oh they ignore that sad look Sakura has when Salad asked if Sasuke ever kissed her and went straight onto the blushing, and the touching of the forehead. How old is that girl? How does she understand sex at that age? Wait is Sakura reenacting the forehead poke or is she using what the forehead poke actually meant about putting distance between someone? Wait remembering what happens at the end of the arc; the former. Yep. she basically says look forward to your dad poking you in the head.
They meet up with the others, suigetsu runs off and hides when Naruto says Sasuke and he will need to talk. Wait now Shin about to kill Sakura but he said he had use for her at the begin of the episode.
They really sped up this stuff so they could do the DNA stuff in one episode.
