The way Hinata came in to protect Naruto, even knowing it would likely mean her death, spoke a lot about the strength of her will. When someone is in need, is it better to let them face their pains alone, even if it means protecting yourself from harm? Sometimes we don't act because we fear being isolated and condemned as well, but the truth is that fear has already isolated us in more ways than we can imagine. Standing up for others often means standing alone. We are all responsible for the good we do not do, because even inaction can lead to a greater tragedy than we could ever imagine. If we can’t offer a helping hand even when we lack understanding, we may be denying someone hope. We never know when someone is in desperate need of our friendship or support.
#Naruto shippuden episode 166 summary full
The world is full of people who are simply content in bringing others down, regardless of circumstance, but the truth is, we all need to be careful of the way we treat those around us.
The way you see Hinata being bullied by those older and stronger than herself, is a good example of human pride and selfishness. The flashbacks we see of each character’s past also gives us more depth with regards to this theme, because it also shows a lack of compassion and understanding from those around us.
A fragile heart lacks the strength to remain strong and stand up to the hateful words directed towards us and sometimes you feel like standing up for yourself will only reward you with more pain and isolation. Sometimes we fall victim to the cruelty of those around us. It’s hard to find anything good in yourself when you feel like you have lost hope, which is why I think the lesson in this episode is so important. I think for any of us who have siblings, such as myself, it is easy to understand how it feels when you look at your brother and sister and you see more in them than you see in yourself. With Hinata, it was simply trying to prove her strength to her father, a feat that proved difficult as she was only seen as a failure in Hiashi’s eyes. If everyone at least knew his name, there would be at least some form of approval in that alone. Even if that attention was negative, it felt better than being invisible. With Naruto, someone who was always alone and who had no parents to try and find that much needed attention in, he would play pranks to get noticed. In both Naruto’s and Hinata’s cases, we see two children who are lost in the world around them, looked down upon by their peers and their elders and who feel unwanted or unworthy.īoth are simply yearning for acceptance, yearning for the love of those around them and both are trying very hard to gain that approval, albeit each in their own way. One theme that I think really showed through in this episode, was that of loneliness and isolation. Neither have yet to realize the profound effect they would have on one another's lives, nor the strength that they would share. Ī chance encounter, as two souls come close together for the first time. Of course, no flashback moment would be complete without the emotional flashback music we all know well. There were a lot more emotions, and the extra insight into both Hinata’s and Naruto’s past lives really added depth to a moment that, honestly, felt far too rushed in the manga. I personally thought the animation was nicely enhanced for this episode, but for the purpose of this breakdown, I will leave that subject behind for now and rather focus on the emotion and body of this episode.įor one thing, there was a great deal of extra content above what the manga showed us and I think this is one of those cases where the new scenes add a great deal more to the overall feel of the episode. A few of you thought the animation in this episode was sub par, while others thought it was great.
Can you simply stand by and watch while someone you love is hurt? Is your heart brave enough to step in and save that person, when they need you the most?įirstly, I would like to mention a few comments from some of our readers regarding this episode on last weeks breakdown.
