"Naruto Shippuden" episode 475 is expected to be the final installment of the anime, which means that fans will finally get to see Naruto and Sasuke duke it out.
Titled "The Final Valley," the upcoming episode will pit the two pals against each other. The title of the purported anime-ender itself is the name of the place where the two warriors battle.
In "Naruto Shippuden" episode 475, Sasuke will refuse to free everyone from the Infinite Tsukuyomi and back to the real world, which will only be done by combining his powers to that of Naruto.
However, Sasuke has something else in mind. He wants everyone to be trapped in the illusion of the genjutsu forever and destroy the five-tailed beasts inside Naruto once and for all.
Of course, this is not something that Naruto wants and battles Sasuke for it. This begins the biggest battle that fans have been waiting to see in "Naruto Shippuden."
If episode 475 will be the final episode, the fight will most likely consume the whole episode. However, there are still fears that Studio Pierrot will draw out the story.
As what happened in the previous episodes, the studio tends to do fillers or add flashbacks to prolong a storyline. This is true with Obito's death, which came and went quick as opposed to how it was depicted in the anime.
Some media outlets think that Studio Pierrot will milk "Naruto Shippuden" for the last time before it goes. After all, fans would want to stick around to see its ending with fillers or not.
That being said, "Naruto Shippuden" episode 475 will mark what could be the beginning of the end of the anime, if not the very conclusion of it all.
With a battle as epic as Naruto vs. Sasuke, the studio might be remiss to give it all in one episode. However, if the company is finally ready to give what its fans have been asking for all along, episode 475 could be the end of the anime.
"Naruto Shippuden" episode 475 airs Thursday, Sept. 8 on TV Tokyo.
