Lot going on in this episode!
The Uchiha thing is kind of annoying. I've gotten quite used to thinking of Sasuke as an irredeemable dick. I don't really want to believe that it might not actually be his fault that he is the way he is.
But if personal trauma makes his magic eyes stronger, and the stronger his magic eyes get, the more emotionally unstable he gets, he's got himself a legitimate excuse there I guess. It certainly explains a lot I guess. And kind of makes Itachi, like, the most amazing character in the series, because he's the only Mangekyo user that didn't go completely batshit insane after obtaining it. Every other character that has them has basically tried to burn the world down.
Sharingan! Powered by love!
I love the 1st Hokage's personality. He's much goofy than expected(and than he was in his first Edo Tensei appearance).
Also, it's cool that he has Sage Mode. I know Wood Style is powerful, but it was straining credibility that he was still stronger than Madara, with the EMS AND the Ninetails(seriously, the Susano'o armored Ninetails was badass) just because of Wood Style. But with Sage Mode on top of that? I can believe he'd still be a match.
Also, again with the shonen animes and the freakin giant Buddha powers? At least this one isn't gold.
In regards to the discussion we were having last week about what Oro's motivation is, as they showed this week, he's well aware of Madara's return, and that Madara is basically planning to wipe out all Shinobi. So his motivation may be as simple as not wanting to be wiped out along with everyone else.
I wonder how long before the other half of the Ninetails reaches Naruto.
It was pretty pathetic to watch the Third try to explain the genocide of the Uchiha, as if such a thing could be explained rationally. Though based on the First's words, there was no solution to the Uchiha question. It was more like getting used to living with time bombs among them. They are ninja, though, so why not? Looks like the First had the right attitude of enjoying life while he could.
I don't mind the change in Sasuke. It's like he's finally growing up. Maybe he is Itachi's little brother, after all, and like Itachi has the potential to retain his wits despite the sharingan. In any case it's up to him to decide the fate of the Uchiha. There aren't too many of them left, especially living ones.
Oh yeah, I think we also got confirmation that Itachi was wrong/lying about Madara stealing his brother's eyes to get his sight back.
The 1st talked about how much Madara loved his brother, so it's unlikely that he took them by force.
I felt like he didn't even try to explain. He was just, like, "Yep...that's a thing I did. Sorry."Quote:

Has he shown a change yet? I haven't seen any evidence that he's not an asshole yet. They just gave an explanations as to WHY he's such an asshole.Quote:

Any sensible leader would have banished Danzo or even arranged him a meeting with the headsman.Quote:

Then he wanted to erase Konoha just as obsessively after Tobi fed him selected facts and half-truths (although Danzo did his best to make even a saint able to detest Konoha, so Tobi certainly didn't need to try too hard). The old Sasuke would be already burning down Konoha.Quote:

Yea, this makes sense. At the end of the day nothing matters if Madara's plan succeeds. Fuck, I love Orochimaru so much sometimes :DQuote:

Well I should HOPE he would be willing to listen, he's the one that organized this entire meeting.Quote:

Pssh, Sasuke is so last season. All the girls want Naruto now that he's the fucking god of the ninja world.Quote:

Oro's so cool when he's chill and not pedo for Sasuke.
