There've been good battles throughout the series and there've been bad battles. Out of those battles, are there that you think could've been done better?

Here are three battles that I think could've been done better (in no particular order):


 * Itachi & Sasuke vs. Kabuto - Izanami came out of nowhere. If there was some slight notion of the jutsu beforehand, then I could understand, but it just came out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure Izanami wasn't a last minute idea, but even if it was discussed while Itachi and Sasuke were on their way to the cave, I wouldn't have minded. The battle itself wasn't awful, but I just think there was a bit too much talking.


 * Naruto & Sasuke vs. Madara - this battle had a lot of potentional, and the jutsus shown were cool, but seriously, the battle just ended in another "Madara is a super strong" moment. Again, it wasn't awful, but it wasn't executed very well.


 * Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Obito, and Kakashi vs. Kaguya & Black Zetsu - there wasn't a lot of fighting to begin with. The whole battle felt like a lot more like a puzzle than anything. I don't think Kaguya herself is that bad of a character, and I'm pretty sure she wasn't a last minute idea, but the battle lacked liveliness. Some jutsus shown were amazing, but it felt way too stragetical in my opinion.


 * Sakura vs. Ino - Okay, I'm pretty sure nobody thought this battle would be a particular highlight, but perhaps it isn't even a battle. Is it a battle between two inexperienced fighters, or is it a collection of flashbacks with drama? It could be either, because there are no meaningful differences between calling it either.


 * Tenten vs. Temari - Seriously? Why is there a need for all these "this person is stronger than a lot of others" battles in the series? If Tenten even slightly damaged Temari, I wouldn't have minded, but no, instead we got the start of all those "this person is very strong" battles for years to come.


 * Team Guy vs. Team Guy Clones - I really have nothing to put. This battle (if you could even call it that) was just ridiculous.

Your thoughts?
