I’ve never said this before, but Orochimaru is a nasty little fuck. A pale emo slug guy that lives under the Earth. Not the kind of people you should have train you Sasuke. Anyway, this whole episode is basically treacheries in this little hangout. And yeah, it’s not that good. It made Jiraiya look like he can be easily beaten again, Naruto can’t get past a trap door, and yeah, it wasn’t that interesting. It looks like Sakura might be getting a push, so that’s a good thing. I literally read shit talk about her in the comments of this episode, so maybe she’ll do something useful. But yeah, it was a average episode, if not below average. I don’t want to put that much effort into it to even decide between below average and average. All I know is something might happen next episode, especially with two actual non-filler coming up before the… oh God. Shivers. Anyway, in closing, this mostly just moved forward for the sake of moving forward. It makes the season feel bloated, and could have been shortened.

Episode 139 (Pure Terror! The House of Orochimaru) gets a 2/5
