RECAPS YO. >_>
Sakura really can't lie for shit, pfft.

"Always be yourself... unless you suck."
I was afraid Sakura's master plan would be something terrible like this - and she certainly didn't let my expectations down. Technically speaking the fight of Sai vs the rest was the weakest part, though. They fought like second year ninja academy kids, not like the kind of experiences (named) ninja they should already be. But I guess the studio didn't want to waste a single extra yen in that fight of utterly no meaning beyond serving as a plot device allowing Sakura to continue alone.
Naruto still being all emo and sleeping through this all was the funniest part, no doubt. Almost as funny was Yamato even bothering to suggest Naruto should obey the orders and return straight to Konoha. But I guess he just had to say it to be able to deny responsibility if questioned later.
Maybe Sasuke will take Kakashi's sharingan now? He should be in no condition to fight even against Kakashi, whom he would be able to beat using his left hand alone under optimal conditions, but who knows. That would be pretty interesting plot development and would surely build the pressure on Naruto's shoulders almost up to sanity breaking levels.
Did we watch the same episode? I don't remember any of this.Originally Posted by Kraco
And...do what with it? He already has two eyes. Sasuke doesn't seem like the type to start sticking eyes into his arm.
Eternal Mangekyou?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well, this answers the question of where Sasuke will get a new medic. Unless she was lying. I can't tell at this point.
She's lying so she can kill him.
Declaring "I'm here to kill you!" 30 meters away does not work for Sakura.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, she's obviously lying.
I just hope there's more to her plan than "Team up with Sasuke, then stab him in his sleep."
Cause that whole flashback scene made it seem like she was ready to step up and do something. So...hopefully she's thought of something to do.
If he wants an Eternal Mangekyou, he can use his brothers eyes at any time.
He doesn't have them to use. Madara does.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
But Madara offered to give them to him already.
In fact Madara seems to be still trying to goad Sasuke into taking them.
+ he got EMS already so he doesn't need another pair unless Kishimoto makes replacing one's eyes repeatedly a consistent power up.
Which would be completely ridiculous, to say the least.
Like Sasuke said in this episode (fortunately if you ask me), he doesn't officially consider himself Madara's henchman. Taking his brother's eyes from Madara would surely be a wise move from various points of view, but perhaps he's vary of accepting anything from Madara. Besides, he might detest cannibalizing his brother's parts, despite having turned himself into a killing machine already.
I'd assume so, considering this is the #212 thread. Or maybe you wandered into a wrong thread?
I think he's just not admitting anything out of a sense of pride. He's a member of Akatsuki in all but name. He keeps accepting Madara's help even though he claims he doesn't want it. He just doesn't want to admit he's basically another one of Madara's stooges at the moment. And Madara is totally fine letting him have his semantic distinctions.
I just didn't see any scene between Naruto and Yamato, or any scene with Sasuke facing off against Kakashi, or Sakura revealing her master plan.
Even if it is out of pride, or rather out of prideful necessity since he can't beat all of Konoha by himself, it doesn't really mean he would consistently act like Madara's underling, or a member of Akatsuki, especially since Akatsuki is all but destroyed already. So far only fighting Eight tails has been completely unrelated to his mission against Konoha. From a practical point of view it certainly won't hurt his cause if he accepts help in defeating Konoha. But it doesn't mean he will anymore willingly drop it to perform random missions for Madara.
Then don't stop watching the episode before the end. Kakashi facing Sasuke would be only one possibility at the moment, you know, a prediction of very uncertain odds, depending on the plot. What comes to Sakura... If you are expecting her to have anything worth revealing in the first place, I don't know what you could be possibly thinking of her character.
Granted, but that's not really what we were talking about. We were talking about whether Sasuke considers Madara enough of an ally to accept his own brother's eyes from him.
It seems to me that he does since he's constantly accepting his help.
I realize that he turned Itachi's eyes down because he "wanted to see the world through his own eyes" and that's all well and good. But eventually, the Mangekyou is going to make him go blind. And when faced with the choice between taking his brother's eyes, and being blind, I have no doubt that Sasuke will take Itachi's eyes.
That she'll eventually have another moment where she sucks as little as she did in the fight against Sasori?
Hopefully.
I'm praying.
SOMEday.

It's true that nearing the end he might accept the eyes from Madara, but do they come with a price? It's basically why I threw the suggestion he might get an eye from Kakashi if they end up fighting. That way he would get a sharingan but wouldn't need to receive anything from Madara.
Also, I think it's a bit different to go ask for help and simply accept help given freely. Like Sasuke's own team members. It's true he sought them out in the beginning but later on they have tagged along on their own. Madara has always appeared to save Sasuke on his own. Of course especially Madara has his own reasons for helping Sasuke, but it doesn't change the outward reality of Sasuke not asking for help. That's the fake pride of his we are talking about.
Sasori, yeah... I had all but forgotten him. Still, I find it hard to believe Sakura could really pull anything off against Sasuke. Or that Sasuke would actually buy anything Sakura has to say. Especially since Sasuke is waging war against Konoha and Sakura should be just another of his targets, with the will of fire and everything.
Well she won't obviously. Since we pretty much know this series is going to come down to Naruto vs. Sasuke, whatever she tries is going to fail. Because Sasuke has plot armor.
I'm just really hoping she at least had a more complex plan that the one we've seen in the last 5 seconds of this episode. Cause it's just a really stupid plan if it doesn't go past "Pretend to join him, then backstab him later."

You'd think Sakura had by now learned that guys won't forget all about themselves the moment she offers herself to them... Especially with Naruto just turning her down. Why would she expect Sasuke of all people to accept her mere hours (?) after what happened with Naruto? Yeah, it would be astonishingly disappointing if this was her whole plan. Not that it would make any difference even if Sasuke decided to play along and say yes. He's already a villain enough to not trust anybody.
There was like 4 minutes of episode this week, this ep sucked.
However, I can accept Sakura gassing her team, they won't be as much on guard when they think they are fighting on her behalf to get by Sai, arguably Sai could have done something but he had his hands full at the moment. It seems like a rookie mistake, but only if they were fighting an enemy, not a teammate. As mentioned Madara has EMS and I don't think he needs more Sharringans a la Danzou's Izangi because he plans to take over the whole world soon. They are useless to him, except as a means to keep Sasuke under control and on his side. A trump card if you will, I approve.
Still, this could all have been done in 5 minutes and then had next week episode. I mean seriously, who wants a recap of everyone's most loathsome character? ugh
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
Which reminds me, if this was supposed to be the "Sasuke Kill Team" why the hell isn't Shikamaru on it?
