QUICK TAKES

Sasuke joining the Akatsuki feels like a huge mistake but he looks so cool with that cloak and I can't believe he really wants to destroy the whole leaf village after everything Itachi did to save it
zora_284
The animation during that initial sword fight was so smooth and Killer Bee using seven blades at once is the wildest thing this show has done in a long time
iida_ingenium
Killer Bee is my new favorite character and his rapping is so funny even though he is actually terrifying with all those swords and lightning jutsu

Ugh, I seriously can't believe Sasuke actually put on that Akatsuki cloak and is going after the Leaf; it just feels so wrong and makes me wonder if there's any coming back for him now. But man, the Eight Tails guy rapping during his fights? That was such an unexpected and awesome surprise, he totally stole the show for me.

Sasuke, what are you even doing? I was totally floored seeing him go from avenging Itachi to straight-up teaming with Madara in a blink; it makes me wonder if he even took a second to think about what he's getting himself into.

I swear, Killer Bee just hits different; nobody else in the show has moves like that, and I was genuinely blown away by how he pulled off that crazy juggling trick with all the swords, it was so unexpected and totally him.

Madara's twisted manipulation of Sasuke, practically gloating about replacing Itachi, honestly made my stomach churn. I'm left wondering if this sudden pivot in the Akatsuki's grand scheme is just another layer of deception, especially after all the Uchiha secrets we've uncovered.

Okay, so seeing Itachi cry really messed me up because it just throws all those memories from the original series into a completely different light, making me wonder what he was truly sacrificing. And honestly, watching Sasuke stumble into the Akatsuki and then get absolutely taken to school by Bee was kind of satisfying after all his edgy brooding; I knew I was gonna love Bee and his wild sword style from the moment he started rapping.

When the talking just kept going, I started wondering if the fight was ever actually gonna happen, especially with some of the animation looking a little rough around the edges. But as soon as the action finally exploded, my frustration completely vanished; that long wait made the payoff feel so much more intense, and I was totally into it.

Wait, Killer Bee just *danced* around Sasuke like he was nothing? I was genuinely stunned by how easily he dismantled Taka; it really put into perspective just how much Sasuke still had to learn, even after all his recent growth. I couldn't help but feel a little bad for him, getting absolutely humbled like that.
tracey_sketchit_337
Itachi's silent tears in that flashback completely wrecked me, knowing his horrific actions were all just a mask for his unwavering loyalty to the village. I can't believe how easily I condemned him as a villain before, and it's wild to realize how much pain he must've been holding onto by himself.
dark_beast_ganon
I seriously did a double-take seeing Sasuke in that Akatsuki cloak, like, how did we even get here? And then when he started talking about crushing the Leaf, my heart just sank; it's so hard to believe this is the same guy who fought for his friends.
naofumi_naysayer_149
Bee's seven-sword style was genuinely shocking; I've seriously never seen anything like that in the whole series, it was so ridiculously creative and chaotic. It was so satisfying watching him absolutely dismantle Sasuke, who usually thinks he's so untouchable.
ancient_robot_295
Bee actually writing down rhymes in the middle of a fight was something else, I swear. I fully expected to cringe super hard at the rapping, but his sheer confidence while battling made me crack up instead! It's so wild how he can be so cool under pressure.
mikau_281
I seriously can't get over how chill the Eight Tails jinchuriki was, just dropping rhymes and totally unfazed by Sasuke's menacing glare. It was such a hilarious contrast to what I expected and honestly, after all the intense fights lately, it was a much-needed laugh for me.

Itachi's tears during his final confrontation with Sasuke were such a gut punch; I totally underestimated the depth of his sacrifice until that moment. It just makes me feel for him, knowing he carried that burden for so long while my boy Sasuke only saw pure hatred. Now, everything about their tragic past feels completely flipped for me.
yobuko_yuki_69
I'm honestly a little unnerved by how openly Sasuke declared he's just using Akatsuki; it really highlights how far he's fallen and made me wonder if he even cares about anyone anymore. Still, seeing him lead Team Taka into battle, all business, was strangely compelling, even if I know it's for selfish reasons.
neoxplode
I honestly can't stand how cold Sasuke is now, it's just so frustrating to watch him completely ignore what Itachi truly wanted after everything we learned about him. He's so consumed by revenge that he's choosing to be blind, and I just feel awful knowing he's going down this path.
nia_teppelin
I'm seriously baffled that Sasuke is going straight for Killer B, a jinchuriki no less, right after barely surviving his fight with Itachi; it just feels like he's pushing his luck way too much, and I'm worried he's completely misjudging how tough this next battle will be because of his pride.
