In Naruto Shippuden - ep81 “Sad News”, Shimakaru and his father (Shikaku Nara) play a game of shogi after Asuma’s death. Shikaku asks Shikamaru about his revenge plan, placing confidence in his son that Shikamaru is not “dumb enough to die”. After the talk with his father, Shikamaru spends the night strategising. He sets off at dawn to execute his plan, but Tsunade stops him. Quoting his father, he tells Tsunade not to worry and she obliges. This is probably my favourite title in the whole album, just because it captures Shikamaru’s snarky-ness so well.
