I cannot believe Shikamaru really broke his own finger just to snap out of that genjutsu and it was so brutal to watch

It really got me when Shikamaru explained his plan because it showed how many steps ahead he stays in a fight

Episode Context

Sitting deep in the Sasuke Retrieval Mission arc, episode 122 follows the Konoha squad splitting off into individual battles after episode 121's setup. Shikamaru's confrontation with Tayuya is one of several simultaneous fights, and this episode gives his matchup focused attention before the arc cycles through the remaining one-on-one showdowns that will determine whether the team can catch up to Sasuke.
