'Naruto Shippuden' episode 475 spoilers: Final battle between Sasuke and Naruto to happen?

Japanese anime series "Naruto Shippuden" is nearing its end with the final battle expected to take place in episode 475.

As detailed in a report, the series could be ending with the 475th episode titled "Valley of the End." But before it could even air on Thursday, Sept. 8, fans may recall that a lot of events happened in episode 474, "Congratulations."

The previous episode marked the death of Madara Uchiha after losing the tailed beasts and evil statue. The God of Shinobi offered him a chance to be a comrade, but nothing went further since he suddenly dropped dead.

Aside from Madara's death, the previous episode also showed Kakashi Hatake congratulating Team 7 for defeating Kaguya Otsutsuki. Naruto Uzumaki was also able to share a final moment with his father, Namikaze Minato, who is also the fourth Hokage. Naruto basically succeeded in bringing down all the antagonists, but in episode 475, it seems he will be facing another challenge.

According to spoilers, the upcoming episode will feature the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha. The two are considered as the most powerful ninjas in the series, so watching them fighting and tearing each other's arms out will be very interesting.

However, fans wonder if the two will really finish each other off. Naruto and Sasuke are close friends, but challenges have pulled them apart, and now, they will have to face one another and try to survive each other's blows. Some suggest that the fight will break off thanks to Sakura Haruno. Since Sakura is a member of Team 7, she may be able to help Naruto and Sasuke stay alive. However, if the anime plans on closely following the material where it is based on, then fans will get to see the two boys themselves finding a way to reconcile in the end.

It's also said that episode 475 will show the epilogue of the story, and fans might get a glimpse of the lives of the characters a few years later.

The 475th episode of "Naruto Shippuden" will air on Sept. 8.
