Ratings give them money.
Anyways, the anime didn't really start with fillers. It's the anime's 10th anniversary and they're doing a recap.

I never realized how much I took their translations for granted.

You only got 60 or 72 hours to read the chapter, then its taken down.
Anyway, the only thing I've got to say about this chapter is, the way Orochimaru showed up was really gey.

Using bad and way too easy methods of trying to tug the heartstrings of people?
How lame, and didn't really work very well.

The story is more likely not over yet, but I still wouldn't hope much for it anyway.

I disagree with people who say these flashbacks are useless. It's nice knowing the story of kabuto and all, since we get to see that he's not just evil to be evil.
Another interesting fact is that Orochimaru used to be in root.

Both are useless because:
Orochimaru is dead and doesn't need any more development.
Kabuto will most likely soon die and doesn't need any more development.
It's the same when they showed flashbacks for Kisame. Most useless flashbacks ever. Not only did they fail to make Kisame more likeable, nothing really substantial came out of it.

I was agreeing with you until you mentioned Kisame. This manga likes to wait for people to die/almost die before they break out the flash backs and I actually enjoyed seeing parts of Kisame's past because he was so awesome. Kabuto on the other hand, became badass so quickly and out of the blue. I could care less about his backstory until he starts doing crazy things with Orochimaru. I'm kind of hoping they show some of the experiments the two of them did- pomegranate must've been absurd.

Wait what? I agree with you on that he became badass all of a sudden, but all the shet he's been pulling out up until now has been so crazy that it seems ridiculous. The problem with Kabuto is that most of his power comes from stealing and decieving people, instead of selfmerit so it is hard to admire him. Also it is hard to develop any sympathy for him when he's never shown any likeable side up until now.

I never said he wasn't currently doing crazy things. I specifically said that "I could care less about his backstory until he starts doing crazy things with Orochimaru," meaning that until badass things occur in these flashbacks, I don't really give a pineapple about his past. Idk why you brought up admiration or sympathy when you quoted me because I wasn't talking about those things o.o

I got what you said as trying to say he had not done any crazy things up until now. My bad.
As for sympathy and admiration well, I remembered what you or someone else said about the purpose of these flashbacks bring to build sympathy for the character (in this case trying to make him look like a victim) so I tried to say it is hard due to him being lame and a douche until just now.
Anyway, it seems rather early to kill Kabuto considering how strong and important to the plot he became. Let's see what happens.

Yea wierd that they released it today, I thought it was golden week or something? O_o
This chapter wasn't so bad. Seeing Orochimaru's hideout and plans were kind of cool backstory.
