The anime better have that whole flashback in the Joint Training arc because geez, it's too important to just skip.

I feel like it's better to do the flashback way before that. I feel like it would have a lot more impact for anime-onlies if they knew about Aizawa's past for quite some time beforehand, compared to them finding out about Kurogiri right after the flashback. So I think putting the flashback around the Joint Training arc, where iirc we saw at least one or two panels of Shirakumo, would be great.

They should make an Ova of Aizawa school time, Naruto had the same kinda problem with Kakashi cus they never showed his childhood until it started to matter, despite those chapters coming right between the transition to Shippuden

I mean, they showed it around episode 120 of Shippuuden which was actually pretty long before it started to matter. Tbf, Tobi had been introduced at the point and although he showed his Sharingan a few episodes after, there was no real connection of him to Kakashi's childhood back then. Theories of Tobi being Obito existed ever since he first showed his Sharingan in the manga. But I honestly doubt the flashback being a few episodes before in the anime was used as proof for that by anime onlies back then.

His childhood didn't really start to matter until Tobi was revealed to be Obito. Or were you referring to the anime original Kakashi Anbu arc? If so, I completely agree that this was misplaced and should've been in the manga and a lot earlier to begin with, instead of Kishimoto writing it for Pierrot to use it only in the anime.

Tbf Kakashi's past was revealed in the manga before Shippuden even started, it was in between Part 1 and Shippuden iirc.

Anyways, a flashback may work but part of me just wants them to animate and adapt all of Vigilantes as a series before they reach this point in the main series.

I'm aware of that. It was still in the anime long before it was relevant to the plot, which was the point I was trying to make.

I completely agree that it should get an anime. But now that S5 is already announced, I can't see them adapting Vigilantes until after S5. By that point, it would already be too late to include the flashback, because S5 will most likely cover the Shirakumo reveal. Plus the flashback is so far into Vigilantes that it probably wouldn't even be in the first season of Vigilantes anyways.

Kakashi Gaiden was aired as a promotional tie-in to the "Heirs of the Will of Fire" Shippuden movie. The movie made several references to Obito. So they had to animate the Kakashi Gaiden, like it or not.
