Nice color panel by Kishimoto this week. In a way I think it signifies the coming end of this Naruto vs. Pain fight (although, I initally thought this battle was going to be over a couple of weeks ago). There is definitely some finality insinuated by the phrasing of this introduction. Chapter 442 is a bit shorter than usual (and I think I know the reason why), but is still satisfying and compact nonetheless.
I wonder how much energy it must take to draw so many Naruto's? It's only fitting that at the end of this battle Naruto uses his classic 'Shadow Clone no Jutsu' to pummel Pain. This chapter finds Naruto at his best. He truly has come to be a fighting genius with a flair for the deceptive.
I love this poetic last blow! It's only appropriate that Naruto finishes Pain with the move that Jiraiya taught him. Now, seemingly, Naruto has surpassed his mentor. The nostalgic overtones of this last scene reflect the proud relationship between tutor and student; and in the end it is the student that brings the greatest honor to the mentor: with a learned fury, a high character and an intelligent mind. All in all, an amazing chapter to wrap up an incredible, high-stakes battle.
