Watch episode 167 here! got.cr/Watch-Shippuden167

The way he hammers him into the floor will never get old

3:26 "is that all you got?" **immediately gets ragdolled** "not bad"

That "Lets go" followed by his running and the music has always been one of my favorite Naruto moments

2:50 Pain running like the Roadrunner always get me.

This is where pain made his legendary face.

The fight was so intense the animation turned into abstract art

This is why Pain is my favourite villain in the entirety of Naruto. Even after receiving numerous pulverzing blows from Naruto in his demon fox mode, he accepts that his adversary's anger is justified, and the only reason he stands opposed to him is because his pain (of losing his parents, his friends and entire childhood) is much greater. You have to respect the sincerity of his words.

0:55 This always kills me. He dodged and/or deflected all the other boulders flung at him but somehow gets hit by this. He was looking right at it!

2:45 *Me after I shut off the basement lights*

when the ground turns into blocks, you know the animation is going to get legendary

The "cartoony" look of the animation in this fight really gives off this vibe that these two are on a different level than everyone else. The exaggerated movements and hyperbolic expressions convey a feeling of surrealness. Love it.

I love the way Pain gets off the ground in 1:30, much like a puppet, for he's exactly that.

"But know this...My pain is far greater than yours!" Most memorable line!!

1:30 When a girl comes to your funeral and says that she liked you

1:15 - pain thinks hes a carrot and plants himself 2:46 - pain waters himself 3:34 - pain sprouts 3:38 - pain realizes hes not a carrot

2:11 this quote is so memorable, the weird looking animation enhances it even more; Pain was a really great character

The battle is so intense that the animation is unique.

3:28 "is that all you've got?" Naruto: So anyway I started blasting

0:50 this is me trying to defend myself from mosquitoes.

3:11 That is Vegeta's technique!

the most "Tom and Jerry" like fight in Naruto

I’ve always assumed that they animated Pain’s face so ridiculously because they were trying to show that he was just a dead body, so his flesh got smacked around in unnatural ways

I don’t care what anyone says- I love that the animators went absolutely bonkers making this fight. It’s supposed to display the uncanny levels of power these two hold- it adds to the intensity of the fight imo

It’s crazy when you think about how strong is the rinnegan. Nagato was doing this with only one path. After that they probably thought it’s too much power so they didn’t use the rinnegan full abilities anymore. Madara was spamming limbo and sauske spamming substitution jutsu. Just imagine if sasuke decided to use full powers of his eye

When Pain gets pounded into the ground with a block. That's some Looney Tunes stuff.

1:13 when you miss the roll in Dark Souls

The goofiness of this fight makes it all the more legendary for me

2:55 that moment where Pain decides to try being a fish in the hopes it might help.

*( Pain Naruto runs so fast **2:50** )* Sonic: *Finally, a worthy opponent*

1:55 don’t lie, you thought the nine tails was growing wings didn’t you?

1:20 reminds me of one punch man

Imagine looney tunes sound effects with this

0:51 When mosquitoes start flying around me

It's the Looney Tooney elements of this fight that make it for me. It feels like a classic piece of animation, that can be appreciated completely independently from Naruto.

This fight really stands out among other anime fights, not just because of the animation, but because of how it’s chaotic the fight is… there can be a fight that’s really powerful technically, but it doesn’t FEEL powerful because there’s not enough destruction everywhere and it isn’t fast and chaotic enough… But THIS, this just FEELS *really* powerful, more so than the final fights of Naruto even though you know it’s not

This brings back memories.

2:21 OH MY SHOULDER!

One of the most iconic fight scenes in the history of animation

Gear 5 just premiered and I still find myself watching this

2:18 and here is the funny face scene you were all expecting

2:47 When your friend messages you “thanks for everything man”

Imagine recovering from a direct hit from the freaking 9 tails with super sick back flips??? Pain was truly a god

Remember y’all, this is extremely painful for Naruto as well. His bones readjust to mimick Kurama’s (whose body structure is like a Humanoid Fox) and he feels them move. The chakra cloak also burns him, I can’t imagine how painful that must be.

2:47 when she says she’s home alone

Probably one of my favourite pieces of animation ever created... the colors, the music, the sound effects, the way it's directed, everything is just so smooth, fluid and you can FEEL every movement and reaction

The animation in this battle has always kinda creeped me out, so fluid and rubbery. Love it

1:14 this got me everytime 😂😂😂💔

can we take in the fact he is fighting his cousin and doesn't even know

no matter how many times i come back for these clips the nostalgia of this hits hard ,the years of watching each ep & the build up made this perfect good times family hope y’all got a chance to enjoy the ride as well

How can a fight be so serious yet so ridiculously funny at the same time. I love naruto.

This animation was made to underline that Pain is just a puppet. That is why pain moved extremely weird. In my opinion this fightstyle and animation is a master piece.

2:45 When pain said let’s go and boss music started I got goosebumps.

Still one of the coolest fight scenes in animes. I've always loved the animation 😍.

2:21 This deserves the Best face award in anime💀

Pain Vs 9-Tailed Fox: “This is fine” Pain Vs Naruto: “oof ouch rasengan”

2:50 They done got him running like an Ed Edd Eddy character 😭

2:48 Mans turned into Sonic the Hedgehog

Naruto: *shoots at Pain* Pain: “Is that all you’ve got?” Naruto: *shoots harder* Pain: “It appears I may have made a mistake.”

One thing I liked about Pain was he is one of very few villains in shonen that actually show up and actually use their power and slaughter everyone... Sadly he brought them back but even so.

1:30 When your little brother wears your $1000 Yeezys to ur funeral

I'll never forget when this fight first happened and people HATED it. There were so many videos making fun of the animation, peins fighting, narutos fighting, and how ridiculous it all looked. I'm glad people have taken another look and realized that the style of animation is just really loose compared to usual

Crunchyroll hitting us with the nostalgia no jutsu

1:30 me being late getting out of bed

3:08 Pain: "Hm... Is that all you've got?" Naruto: "Uh. . . *No."*

Six-tail version has always been my favorite. The way the skeleton sort of clings to and frames the four-tail form, gives it a great color contrast and depth.

My mom hitting me with the cooking stick 1:14

2:17 best animation of all time.

Pain running so fast his legs disappear had me astounded but also made me weak laughing 😂😂😂

Me When My Alarm Clock Starts Buzzing : 1:14

2:55 dolphin style: water escapist

The animators in this part of the fight need an award

One of the best fights ever, really liked the animation and everything, makes it look like its a battle out of our abilities for sure, even makes you realise how OP pain is for literally soloing nine tails here

2:50 “GOTTA GO FAST.... wait wrong show sorry

2:55 I like how he’s using his power almighty push to boost himself faster.

This fight has a blend of amazing and goofy animation. I love it

0:51 When a spider jumps into your face

2:45 that soundtrack

1:30 When you die but someone at your funeral says “damn gta 6 released yesterday and he ain’t get to play it”

They laughed at me for liking this fight, now they all shout and cheer for gear 5. I want an apology for the goofy animation enjoyers in the world.

The debate over Sukuna vs Jogo/Majoraga in JJK s2 immediately had me thinking about this fight

2:45 me running away from the FBI after stealing the remote to pause online games

The part where pain starts running in the fog is one of the most epic moments for me! The music starts playing and the fight feels like it's starting for real now

This was one of the best fights ever! The dialogue music animations was on another level at that time i Watched it like 100x already till today nsvsr gets old this masterpiece

This was peak Naruto before the war

Why people say the animation is bad here is beyond me. I think the rubbery style combined with it being a ball of chakra vs a WiFi corpse adds to the uniqueness.

2:19 this animation get me always! 🤣🤣

I've so much loved the animation of this fight. Naruto is in the memories of all of his fans!!!

This was my favorite episode. Especially when I witnessed it live, on air, with my legs and torso and arms and it was on LIVE TV. Good times.

They say nostalgia is the best and worst feeling. Nice memories

2:50 The new sonic game is looking good

0:12 wth does dude doing

This fight was ahead of its time.

2:10 Kyuubi's scream sounds like "OOOOOOOH YEEEAAAH"

1:03 Mans got sent to another universe and came back.

I love how funky but at the same time awesome this fight is. Man its been a long time since i watched Naruto

This battle is so epic! It has some creepy moments but it is fantastic! That ost give me goosebumps

0:50 This is a really cool scene, you know it.

1:30 When someone talks trash about you while you are in your grave

This is such a legendary fight. 3 rounds straight!
