Naruto Shippuuden Episode 39

[February]

To the previous question as to what would have happened if the real sasori came,
I am sure he would have brought Deidara, knowing how powerful Orochimaru is. Oro and Sasori have worked together for a long time, I bet they would know what kind of tricks and jutsus the other one uses...so if anything, the real match outcome should be weighed as who is the stronger one between kabuto and Deidara. And for my opinion, Deidara should be able to overpower Kabuto.

Also, I had no idea to think that Sasori might be interested in Orochimaru's body transfer jutsu. Because Sasori uses human puppets for bodies anyway so I really don't see why he would need one. I thought that he just planted a spy in there to find out Orochimaru's plans or location but I guess finding out such an important jutsu like that is plausible.

It could also be to find a weakness to exploit in oro's containers.

Sasori had to put a physical piece of himself into those puppets though, his heart to be exact. That physical part of him would naturally still age and eventually die. It's likely he wanted to learn the technique so that he could transfer into a new body and then plant the heart of that new body into his puppet again.

one of the smartest and most carefully crafted manga chapters does not disappoint in the animation. Tricks and turns and mindfucks in my shounen fest?

Kabuto <3

Sai's mice were great. I also like seeing how Yamato transformed into Sasori and Sakura helping him mimic his voice and speech. Orochimaru showing up is one of those 'WTFBBQ?' moments that makes you glad you've sat through a relatively crappy sequel series.

I think Oro and Kabuto would have beaten Sasori. Maybe Sasori wouldn't have gotten his puppet owned like Yamato did, but I think Orochimaru would have really tested his limits, and Kabuto just might have been able to somehow neutralize the poision... Well, just my opinion...

[DarthEnderX]

Well, lets not forget that Sasori's inside puppet is even stronger than his outside puppet, so its not like Kabuto's attack would have finished him off right away.

I still don't think he would have been able to beat them both though.

I don't think Kabuto could have done anything about the poison. He hasn't seen him for five years, so he'd be completely unaware of Sasori's new poisons. Also, it destroys heart muscles, and you're pretty much paralyzed/passed out when it hits, so if Oro gets hit, me might be able to save him or something. Still, I don't think it will be too one sided. Sasori's got the tough job though. Don't forget, Chiyo was a puppet master who taught Sasori. I'd say Oro and Kabuto wouldn't have it any easier.
