With no doubt, even the haters acknowledge the formidable collection of amazing openings/endings the Naruto franchise has, especially Naruto Shippuden, but unfortunately, it does not fall for this opening. Opening 10 is arguably one of if not the worse Naruto Shippuden, it spaned from episode 231 to 256, overlapping both the long "Paradise Life on a Boat" filler arc and the "Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown" canon arc which was not by any mean the height of the series. I guess one of the aspects that makes an opening stick out is what surrounds it of memories from the days of watching said episode, be itsomething important and a turn event of the story or something that goes beyond the 4th wall dealing with your day to a daily life situation.

Newsong misses all the checkboxes, and by a land slide.
