That's what, for me, makes it more powerful than the Zabuza / Haku arc. Kakashi's inner battle, Obito's death just as they befriend eachother, and then Kakashi fights that dude with the tears still flighing out of his left eye.... Wow.
I have to disagree. 82 is still my favorite episode even after watching this. I mean, this was sweet, and yeah it's an amazing naruto episode, but 82 transcended naruto (pretty funny for an ep that I don't even think had Naruto in it).
