Homeless boys: Stay off snowy bridges! (anime)

[thistlechaser]

I watched last week's subbed Naruto (103) this morning, and while I really dislike this story arc, I was muchly amused to see the flashback of the village boss taking in the boy (the runner). Zabuza found Haku on what looked like the very same bridge! And it was snowing for both meetings!

So let this be a lesson to you, boys: If you're lost, starving, and alone, avoid bridges during winter at all costs! Otherwise older men will "take you in" (ha ha), use you, turn you into a tool, and twist your mind around so much that you'll like it and want to be used more!

(I'm very sad to report that I found myself falling for their horrid little trick: I'd like to see this as a Zabuza/Haku sort of situation! That was a great storyline!)

I wonder how long this sucky filler arc will last... Oh, and have I mentioned just how much I HATE HATE HATE those three bad guy ninjas? Gah!

I agree, Oboro, Mubi and Kagari have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. They're not bad at genjutsu, but that's not going to win them any fans. Even I don't care about them, and I'm unnaturally obsessed with extremely minor characters like that, usually.
I really like Aoi, though.. Green hair, and that stupid outfit that draws attention to his crotch *cough* >_>

And while the bridge looked just as I remembered it, I had to check, and it's really a different bridge. I guess all snowy bridges look the same.

I think the real plot was supposed to resume at episode 107 or 108, but I can't find a source for it now. ANN lists up to episode 106 which looks like filler from the titles.

(don't mind me, I just resort to reading my friends of friends page when I'm bored)

Hello! Thanks for stopping in! :)

Ah, well it's good to know that they're at least not reusing backgrounds!

Woo! At least it's not a whole ton of filler eps.
