"Naruto Shippuden" fans are speculating that episode 472 will feature the finale of the battle of Naruto and Sasuke against Princess Kaguya after Obito made the ultimate sacrifice.
A preview trailer for the upcoming episode, titled "You Better...," shows the determination of Naruto to beat every inch of Kaguya. Even when the protagonist is powering up, one can see the anger and motivation to give everything he has to defeat the evil Princess, especially now that Obito is gone.
Several fans are now expecting that this will be the final episode of this furious battle. The fighting will get intense, with Naruto going to full power in order to finish Kaguya. There are speculations that Kaguya's chakra is almost consumed and would not last longer in order to bring enough damage to Naruto and Sasuke. Kaguya must have consumed a lot when she amplified the gravity that pinned down the duo.
Ecumenical News added that there are also speculations that the powerful princess will once again transport the duo to a different dimension where they will continue to fight. Obito will give some word of encouragement to Naruto before his last breath, while Kakashi might get involved in the battle for real.
The last episode showed how Kakashi was determined to save Naruto from the flying rods of Kaguya. He knows very well that he is no match to the princess, thus deciding to shield Naruto.
Several flashback scenes from Obito's past are also shown in the trailer. Fans are aware how Studio Pierrot tries to extend the story so the upcoming episode may allocate a significant amount of time to this.
"Naruto Shippuden" episode 472 is expected to air on Aug. 18.
