Naruto Shippuden 479 will focus on Naruto and what it has become of the Shinobi World after the 4th Great Ninja War and his final battle with Sasuke. Moreover, this could very well be the last cannon episode of the Naruto Shippuden series, so expect the appearance of the New-Gen ninjas.
Notes, Potential Spoilers for Episode 479:
-Titled Naruto Uzumaki, Thursday's show will be the 479th episode of the Naruto Shippuden series and 699h overall, if the original 220 episodes of the Naruto anime franchise is included.
-The episode will include the scenes of Naruto and Sasuke together releasing the trapped shinobi from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the burial of fallen ninjas (Neji included), and Sasuke starting a new journey away from Konoha.
-Based on the promo video, this episode will have a bit of comic relief involving Naruto and Killer B (which is always gold), filler scenes here and there and probably more Naruto frolicking around Konoha.
On the other hand, the show-runner might be hiding something big. Fingers-crossed, but it won't be surprising if Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki and the rest of the Next-Gen ninjas make their much-awaited TV appearance.
-Lastly, if you are one of those people who has been shipping Sasuke-Sakura love angle for years, then this is the episode you can't really miss. Trust me, this is the sweetest thing you can get from a Tsundere character like Sasuke.
-After episode 479, the anime run of Naruto Shippuden will continue with a series of character shorts. Four filler episodes have been slated for the next four weeks: Episode 480: Naruto and Hinata for Oct. 20, Ep. 481: Sasuke and Sakura for Oct. 481, Ep. 482: Gaara and Shikamaru for Nov.3 and Ep. 483: Jiraiya and Kakashi for Nov. 10.
