The titles and synopsis for Naruto Shippuden Episode 460 and 461 have been released last weekend, several days before the premiere of Episode 459 title 'She of the Beginning,' which officially marks the start of the Kaguya - Final Showdown arc.
Naruto Shippuden will return to its core story this May after airing filler episodes the past seven months. The Itachi Shinden, which focused on the life of Itachi Uchiha prior and during his time with the Akatsuki, served as the last 'filler canon' arc before the series shifts back to the climax of the fourth Ninja war.
Episode 458 title Makoto 'The Truth' provided a complete overview of Itachi's journey as a loyal shinobi of the leaf, and at the same time allowed a smooth transition into the upcoming Kaguya arc by picking up where the canon story left off, particularly the part where Black Zetsu turned on Madara to complete the rebirth of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
As mentioned above, She of the Beginning is the first episode of the Kaguya - Final Showdown arc. It will be aired on TV Tokyo (May 5) Thursday at 6:00 a.m US ET. This will be followed by Episode 461 "Kaguya Otsutsuki" on May 12 and Episode 462 "Hagoromo and Hamura" on May 19.
Here are the synopses for the two episodes:
Episode 460 - "Kaguya Otsutsuki"
Long time ago there wasn't any concept of chakras. In sudden the God Tree (Shinju) has appeared in the earth and the people got confused about it, then Kaguya Ōtsutsuki has descended from heavens.
The emperor of the ancestral land who named as Tenji, had fascinated of Kaguya's pretty look, and because of her, the wars flames started to stop.
Episode 461 - "Hagoromo and Hamura"
Everyday, Kaguya looked up to the sky silently. Later on, she gave birth to her children Hagoromo and Hamura.
The Great Toad Sage appeared in the show and it's called Gamamaru. But it's prohibited by Kaguya to get access to the God Tree to see what was it about.
It looks we are heading to two more filler episodes after Thursday's show. But no worries, it appears these episodes will delve deeper into the mythos of Kaguya Otsutsuki and his twin sons, Hogoromo and Hamura, which is good since Masashi Kishimoto haven't expounded these topics well in his manga series.
