Wow, I took a look at the pictures in the first link before reading the translation on the second link, and just felt compelled to write something. I thought Sasuke and Orochimaru might've been in cahoots the whole time so that Sasuke could get his revenge, and Orochimaru his Sharingan. The translation dispelled that possibility, but left open another. Might Orochimaru gain the Sharingan this way? I found it hard to believe that Sasuke had taken him out completely, and I find it even harder to believe that he'd reappear and disappear forever in the very same chapter. In any event, this is a fucking awesome development. Haven't been this exited about the series since the start of Shippuuden.
Actually I kind of hope that happens. I would love to see an Orochimaru come back, through getting Itachi's Sharingan. That'd be a great way to bring him back and start his storyline from where it was originally left off from. I also have to note to everyone. I just looked back and realized, this fight is going on 10 chapters now. That may be the longest fight I've ever read in the series.
Here's a picture that basically summarizes the past 2 months of the manga....

Where'd Itachi get the clamp from?

I thought Akatsuki had a joke shop. I mean aren't they like a conglomerate by now or something?

Nevermind the clamp, what's up the sword aka plot-device-no-jutsu O_o
So is that the real translation.... Oro pops back out and then disappears/dies right away? lol.
Actually. I've seen a couple now , and yeah I actually think thats the real one. I don't have a problem with him dying. But it'll be weird to have Itachi just off him like that during a very important fight with his little brother.
Only one word: Lame.
Both anime and manga are currently passing through a Sasuke stage... and its way lame...
Knowing how almost every fight goes.... Oro will pop out again and Itachi will be like "What?!" and then Oro attacks Itachi with a super strong jutsu that nobody ever survived. Then Itachi pops out and Oro will be like "What!??!"Originally Posted by conquistaDan
I just can't believe that Oro can die off so easily. We need to see flashbacks and stuff like Jiraiya.
Sasuke will inherit the sword and Kabutoro will hunt him down for it.

Still, ya gotta admit it was kinda funny and awesome how Itachi shuts down oro.
Oro: "IVE BEEN ALIVE ALL THIS TIME AND ILL WIN NOW MUAHAHAH"
*gets stabbed by Itachi*
Itachi: "Next."

I think this 'bit' of Oro is dead. But don't forget there's still the part inside Kabuto. So, I don't think he'll reappear in this fight, but the character himself will return again through Kabuto. Perhaps the Oro essence in Sasuke is finally gone now, sealed forever by the sword.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
This chapter was incredibly lame. It almost felt like it was intended for comedic purposes. And the play-by-play of Zetsu continues to annoy.
One thing that I found interesting though, was that Oro's "hydra" form had 8 heads. That could provide further credibility to the theories of Oro possessing the 8-tailed (or in this case, headed) snake yoma
The transformation and even the conversation were nearly identical to that which takes place with Naruto and the Kyuubi.

True, but I love how Kishimoto is starting to make fun of some supposedly epic aspects of Naruto. He's done it with Zetsu, with that Hibi snake dude calling someone retarded, with Sai talking smack about Sasuke, etc.

Indeed. That was the only good part of the chapter... Zetsu grossing out because of Oro.
The rest... boring.
I can sum this chapter up as Michael Jackson was defeated by Itachi's nose monster. This fight needs to either move to a conclusion or they need to actually head over to one of the other epic fights that should be taking place that we still want to see.
