And here I thought "hell yeah, an episode in my birthday, how amazing", but it turned out to be the most random mess I saw in a long time. Seriously, they were so forcefully trying to mirror the first Sasuke vs Naruto battle in their Part II forms that it ruined the fun for me. I know they were trying to achieve something like "heeeey, I recognise that pose from the first fight, what a nice detail", but in the end, it was just "huh, I think there was some nice action between pose 1 and 2 during the original fight". Because, let's face it: There was no fight. The only thing we saw was Naruto using Sage Mode to natural-energy-punch Sasuke. Everything else was skipped. And what the hell was that Itachi scene about? Couldn't they at least try to give Sasuke the MS in any reasonable way? Why would Itachi, of all the places, appear RIGHT IN BETWEEN two deadly attacks? And why did he vanish as if he was a ghost? I hate this all so much.
