Tale of the Gutsy Ninja - Jiraiya Chronicles (Manga Spoilers inside)

[Black God]

Were going to see naruto's mother animated

[raptor02_2001]

i wonder what happen to Kushina ?? did i miss info from manga ?

[Bohemia22]

Kishi never told us anything about her.

[Kuranzyan]

I think it's supposed to be "told us very little", seeing as we (who read the manga, that is) know her name, her origin, choice of jutsu and her personality, sort of.

[Crude]

I just hope this special doesn't spoil Pain's identity for those who only watch the anime.

[weehoo107]

hey, this airs on my birthday. what a gift

it looks interesting, yes, but theres probably gonna be a little bit of filler in the flashbacks (if that's what it is... ). I can live with that if the animation is good and

Minato and Kushina show

[DARK]

According to the preview of the special itself, we get to see more in depth of Jiraiya's past. It deals with flashbacks of Team Hiruzen (including a younger Enma), Gamabunta (somehow he was smaller than Jiraiya), and the Toads. They will add some anime-only "filler" to it. Not necessarily plot hole induced ones, but extras, just like how we got more in depth of Orochimaru/Itachi in Episode 114.

[The Exalted]

Jiraiya is one of my favorite characters, it's sad that the animators MESSED UP!!!

Chapter 376 page 10 CLEARLY shows that Gamabunta didnt have the scar over his eyes when Jiraiya was young he probably recieved that scar a good while later

*sigh*

GET IT RIGHT, OR DONT DO IT!!!!

[THM Nindo]

We are basically going to see Jiraiya life when he was young.

We will see him meeting Tsunade/Orochimaru, and him being the exact replica (or almost) of what Naruto was when he was young.

Then, we will see when he stumble on the Frog Mountain and became a Sage there under the teachings of Fukasaku.

Then, if we're lucky we might even see a bit of the fight against Hanzou when he became one of the Sannin.

And, maybe (hopefully) a bit of him training Minato (and the two other unknown students!).

[benelori]

I think it's a pretty good idea, before jiraiya's death...it's actually a good filler...i like it

[raptor02_2001]

no esp in this week? am i right ?

[3c]

no esp in this week? am i right ?

That's right. The double episode will be released next week

[raptor02_2001]

Damn oh well.. that is cool... thank you for info.
i can't wait for see Young Jiraiya ... he is my most favorite ... i am huge fan of him ..

[Kuranzyan]

Okay... Now we finally know how Jiraiya stumbled across Myobokuzan... Through a botched summoning. I thought nothing would happen if you didn't make a contract with an animal familiar?
