Yay, no finally we get to see Kabutomaru in all his glory!
But I was kinda expecting his robe to be black and not red!
Anyway, the scene with Kabutomaru and Madara was really well done. Especially that part where they walked into Madara's hideout and they were both scowling at eacother like "Im on to you!".
And damnit, now I really want to know what's in that coffin that made Madara so scared!
In the second episode I really liked the meeting with all the Kage's. Its always fun to see the different villages interact with eachoter, especially when Onoki commented on Tsunade's temper. I wonder what he would say if he ever met Sakura.
The funniest scene for me was by far when Sakura dragged Naruto away by his ears. Oh will the poor guy ever get to eat his precious ramen?!
Now I agree that Sakura's reaction to those photos was somewhat excessive. However as someone else has already pointed out, one of the prevailing messages of the series is that war is a totally different experience from everything else. No matter how hardcore you may think you are, nothing will prepare for the horrors of war. I think that was the message here. That this upcoming war will stretch not only Sakura's medical expertise, but also her ability to keep cool under pressure, to its very limit.
And the whole "Who should I help first?" dilemma fits pretty well with Sakura's character. She is torn between Naruto and Sasuke, because despite all the horrible things Sasuke has done, she still can't brush him off completely. I don't even think it has anything to do with who she loves the most. I mean we know that she cares a lot about Naruto and that she is willing to put herself in danger so that he wont sink into darkness and we know that she was willing to kill Sasuke for the same reason. Besides I believe that, should that scenario ever occur, she would save Naruto first. At the end of the day she knows that her future lies with him and not Sasuke.
