Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
This ep was good and all but i dislike how they cut off the scene at the end. If they are going to show Kakashi watch the spoilers, they should show the viewers him doing something with it....such a waste of a good moment by dividing it into two episodes =(
I seriously had an OMFG heart attack moment when I read it...but that excitement just seems gone now in the anime
and sasori is still a badass. he will be my favorite villian of all time

february: you're right. a double ep would have been awesome
i was surprised that they stretched out the sasori fight through the entire episode again. it had several great parts but im glad its finally concluded.
This was a nice episode, I thought it was a fitting conclusion.
Good episode and a nice end to the fight, though i could have done without seeing sasori hug himself with his parent puppets multiple times again. Revisiting all those parts of his backstory really wasn't necessary, i'd rather they started a bit of the next fight instead. Should be interesting to see what if anything Sakura learns from Sasori's spy, i'm guessing it's the information that leads them to the events we saw in the very first episode.
To top it all off, kakashi should make the upcoming battle very bad ass and i'm really looking forward to it now. Hopefully Naruto will do something that doesn't involve being a complete moron as well. Too bad we're going to have to suffer through another saga of the "Clone Wars" before we get to see any of it though

terrible way to end an episode... it so should have been a double, especially since I believe there's no episode next week...
but the episode itself was actually pretty good. Not action packed, but I LOVE Chiyo and there was just such an emotional element to the climax of this fight. I really think that Sasori somehow has a sense of regret towards the very end, even if he isn't supposed to have any feelings after turning into a puppet.
I also really like the storyline twist, that Sasori, being Orochimaru's old partner, planted a spy in the Sound Village. An awesome way to connect all of what's happened in Shippuuden so far with the final Naruto storyline (getting Sasuke back to Konoha)

Imagine how long the Deidara fight will be. He'll have no limbs left by the time it's over.
Oh man.........
That's because the way they did it in the anime was pretty dull.Originally Posted by February
Naruto: That's what we were waiting for Kakashi?
Kakashi: That's right, my new Sharingan.
Didn't show any emphasis or anything. it would have been better if they simply had Kakashi say "I'm ready Naruto" and then open his eye and then end it.
What...the...fuck?
How...how can he even have that? He doesn't even HAVE any friends to kill!
I don't know how Chiyo survived. Wasn't she also poisoned? Shouldn't she be dying of poison now?
Also, going "Oh, I've got a super technique that brings people back to life but kills me" and then going "Oh but I'm not gonna die" kinda undercuts the coolness of the technique. You might as well just call it the "Heal everything but death with no cost" technique.
So glad that battles over though.
Onto the Mangekyou Sharingan that I don't understand!
How does killing a friend magically grant you a new ability? If there's any logic behind that requirement, then it would be to first feel like shit because you killed a friend just to get more power, and consequently, if you survive that miserable feeling, you would become desensitized: No price is too high for power. That, I suppose, could be the key. Yet, things like that doesn't sound very exact to me, and I've always thought such a bizarre requirement should be possible to bypass with time and arduous research.
Besides, was it even Mangekyou sharingan? Or something else?
She just said Sakura wasn't dead, only injured. So, it makes sense it won't necessarily take all of the geezer's life to revive her somewhat. Besides, Sakura already healed herself somewhat before that, as well.
And the poison takes days to kill. And it's somewhat likely Chiyo has a higher tolerance for poisons than regular people. She has probably eaten them voluntarily all her life to build up resistance.
I don't think Kakashi's new sharingan in the mangekyou.. it looks different...
Besides... Kakashi told Itachi's clone-thingy that the mangekyou screws up your eyesight. I don't see Kakashi resorting to that.
If you type mangekyou sharingan in google, the fist thing you'll see is Itachi's mangekyou.. it's totally different. I didn't use the image search, b/c possible spoilers.. just the regular search should show the images.
Nice episode.
Some little more of Sasori's past before his death was nice. So he really didn't know his parents were dead... I guess when he found out he must have begun his plan to leave or whatever.
Sharingan = cheap.
All the Sasori backstory rehashing really underwhelmed me, mainly since we'd seen so much of it before, but the death scene was done well, and Sakura got to writhe in pain so it wasn't a totally boring episode. To be fair though, I can't really hate Sakura as much anymore since she's clearly no longer useless baggage. Her movements and techniques are actually befitting of a ninja as opposed to the lackluster fighting skills she displayed in Part 1 the few times she actually engaged in combat.
Tacking on Kakashi's new Sharingan at the end of the ep seemed like they were trying to create anticipation, but then the entire preview was all about the stupid clone fights and it evaporated. It's probably going to be the same filler writers writing the script for the clone fights anyway so I think we can expect some really corny lines as Team Gai magically discovers a way to beat their previously unbeatable opponents.
Not really good, but not really bad either...pretty average ep.

I hope sasori was just bluffing when he said he aimed for sakuras vital spot
im pretty sure he was aiming for chiyo
i completley agree. that part made me raise an eyebrow, since in the end of the previous episode it's clear he's attaching Chiyo, and Sakura barely gets there in time. He might have hit her in a nasty spot, and may have redirected his attack slightly when he saw she'd interfere, but I think he was talking some shit there.
Kakashi's "new sharingan..." I dunno. they never explained how he could have the Sharingan in the first place, although his scar and the fact that he isn't an Uchiha and wasn't able to fully control it at first suggests it was transplanted into him.
But that shouldn't give him all the bloodline abilities, right? I mean, even if you have the eye, you don't have the blood.... Otherwise Orochimaru wouldn't be waiting three years to take Sasuke's body, he'd just pop the eyes out and put them in some test-tube thing.
On the other hand, the conversation with 'meat puppet Itachi' and Kakashi suggested that Kakashi had learned more about Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi looked shocked when Kakashi mentioned that Itachi's eyesight might be worse. Even Itachi's line might have been set up to hint towards Kakashi now having Mangekyou.
Well, that's all I got. Chew it over, but I suppose we'll just have to wait until next episode to see for sure what exactly he's got up his sleeve.

I bet in the next episode we'll get to see how exactly Kakashi got his MS. That'd be a filler sequence I'd love to see
Well, I don't actually know. All I know is they've said like 3 times in the series now that to get Mangekyou Sharingan you have to kill your best friend. So until they say otherwise I'm going to just take their word for it.
I...hmm, now that you mention it, it does look a bit funny. Anyone want to post pictures of both?
Well im bored so..
Kakashi's Sharingan
Itachi's Sharingan
There certainly is some difference but there are similarities aswell...
Makes me think, does all sharingans/mangekyo sharingans look identical or can they vary from person to person?
Also, maybe its different simply because Kakashi isnt the original owner or because he isnt an Uchiha.. some1 pop in with some more ideas plz :P
