Naruto 539 – Planting the Seeds of Doubt
Note: I’ll be picking back up regular coverage of the Naruto manga. It’s not too time-consuming to cover and helps alleviate Kiiragi’s load a bit. I figured some people might like having me “around” too.

「10%の雨予報」 (10% no Ameyohou)
“10% Chance of Rain”
I’m probably starting to sound like a broken record, but I’m glad that the show took the time to show how much Keima actually cares about each of the girls he saved. He may go on and on about how real girls are no match for 2d ones, but his actions are far louder then his words. Keima deserves to shine like this!
「喜翠戦線異常なし」 (Kissui Sensen Ijyou Nashi)
“All Quiet on the Kissui Front”
The mysterious Wajima Tomoe, the head waitress of Kissuisou. A character who doesn’t really grab your attention at first, but stands out with her strange faces and over the top actions. Who would have thought that in a single episode they’d be able to really introduce Tomoe while pushing the story a little bit further and teaching a life lesson or two?
「祟り寺の子」 (Tatari-dera no Ko)
“Child of the Cursed Temple”
Moving on from the transition into school, the actual schooling begins, with Rin snoring through every subject, inciting the rage of Suguro Ryuji (Nakai Kazuya, Zoro~), a man oddly with the same mission.
「Cultivation (修練)」 (Shuuren)
The whole Financial District system is becoming clearer bit by bit, but I still can’t figure out what to make of the Guild exactly.
「日常7」 (Nichijou 7)
“My Ordinary Life 7”
Was it me or was most of that first skit just so out there that it flew over your head? The flying airship was cool and I have a friend named Albert who hates it when his name is said in Japanese (Aruberuto / アルベルト), which had me giggling inside every time the King’s name was called out. But even though the first skit felt like it came out from left field and didn’t really get me laughing at first, I was dying towards the end.
「螺旋の迷宮にその箱はねむる」 (Rasen no Meikyū ni Sono Hako wa Nemuru)
“The Box Lies in the Spiral Labyrinth”
Well that was breathtaking.
「真夏の夜の・・・ – A school in summer」 (Manatsu no Yoru no…)
“A Midsummer Night… – A school in summer”
At this point, it’s refreshing that watching Tooru and Run run through their routines at the beginning of each episode still makes me chuckle every time.
「死肉祭(カーニバル・コープス)」 (Shinikusai (Kaanibaru Koopusu))
“Carrion Festival (Carnival Corpse)”
This episode racked the cruelty level several notches though. Pity for for the characters. Even though I knew what was going to happen already, some scenes were still quite unsettling.
