Awesome episode!! There was too much jumping around between the different fights but what an ending! How convenient that there are 3 sand, 3 konoha, and 3 sound shinoji. I don't think I can wait a week to see what happens next.

I was hoping to seeing more drunken fist though. How the heck did Lee get sober so fast? What a bummer.

For a second there I thought Shikamaru's next brilliant plan would be to use his shadow hand to "cop a feel". That would certainly distract Tayuya and give me the chance to make his move!
