It’s really just Naruto-action hitting its stride throughout these battles. This collection sees Naruto come into the action just a little bit more than the previous collection, though the focus is still well and truly on the wonderful assembly of comrades from the different ninja villages continuing to fight against old enemies and allies with quite a few twists thrown in. Let us never forget generic background ninja #497 and all of his many characteristics. As filler, the events are wrapped up, if not neatly, then at least entirely and the very next episode is back on track with all of these characters and many more once again playing the parts of soldiers.
Nope, they’re far more interested in acting rather bizarrely to help an apparently amnesiac Sakura regain some of her memories. While, just one episode before, the various ninja villages were assembled together, fighting multiple incredible foes, the first episode of this collection inexplicably sees a lot of supporting characters back at their home village, with zero references to their battles or the fact that a potentially world-ending war is taking place.
This isn’t that unusual for the Naruto series, (and at least it’s only one episode, as opposed to, say, an entire season of filler), but we’re in the middle of a pretty significant and hectic arc. Yes the last episode of Box Set 21 was episode 270 and we do indeed kick off this collection with episode 271, but there isn’t a particularly clear progression between the two. This box set carries on, as you might well expect, directly after the events of Box Set 21 ( reviewed here). This collection is due to be released on DVD in the UK and Ireland on Monday 14 September, courtesy of the fine folks at Manga Entertainment UK.
The box set is made up of episodes 271-283 and is split between seasons 12 and 13.
