Okay, let's talk about Itachi Uchiha. Specifically, when he kicks the bucket in Naruto Shippuden on Netflix. This is a question that haunts many late-night binges, right?
So, what episode is it? Drumroll please... It's episode 138. The iconic showdown begins in episode 137. But his actual… *departure*… happens in 138.
The Big Question: Episode 138, Right?
Now, here's where things get tricky. Why tricky? Because the "episode" you see on Netflix might not perfectly align with every single episode guide floating around online.
Different streaming platforms sometimes chop things up differently. Or combine episodes. So, while episode 138 is the generally accepted answer...
...don't freak out if it’s showing up as 137 or even 139 on your specific Netflix feed. Look for the title "The End." You'll know. You'll *feel* it.
Why This Matters (Kinda)
Let's be honest. We're all a bit obsessed with Itachi. He's the brooding, tragic hero. The guy who did a bad thing for a good reason.
Knowing exactly when he dies is crucial for emotional preparedness. Stock up on tissues. Maybe some ice cream.
And definitely avoid social media. Spoilers are everywhere. Protect your heart!
My Unpopular Opinion
Here’s where I might get some flack. I think Itachi's death scene is… a little overrated. There, I said it!
Don't get me wrong, it's sad. Extremely sad. But the build-up was better than the actual execution.
Okay, okay, throw your kunai at me. I stand by my slightly contrarian viewpoint.
The Real Tragedy
The real tragedy isn't just Itachi's death. It's the ripple effect. It's what it does to Sasuke.
It’s the layers of deception and manipulation. The "greater good" argument that makes you question everything.
Itachi's sacrifice is the cornerstone of so much that happens later. So, you can’t brush it off.
Netflix and Chill (With Tissues)
So, fire up Netflix. Prepare yourself for episode 138. Or whatever episode number your Netflix throws at you.
Just remember to steel yourself. A true ninja sheds no tears. But it's okay if you do. We all do.
And maybe, just maybe, consider that Itachi’s story is more than just a single episode. It’s woven into the very fabric of Naruto.
Final Thoughts (Before I Get Attacked)
Ultimately, the exact episode number doesn't matter *that* much. It's the emotional impact that counts.
Itachi’s story is a complex and heartbreaking one. It stays with you long after the credits roll.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch it. And maybe cry a little bit. Don't judge.
Just promise me you won't spoil anything for any new viewers. Spread the ninja love, not the spoilers!
Now go enjoy the show!
