I definitely found Kabuto way more interesting in Part I, and thought (by Part I standards of course) he was pretty powerful and well-versed as well. Part II, in terms of interest, not so much; really found him to be a pretty generic villain grading on the Naruto villain scale, given that every villain sans a couple were never really villains at the core. However, I did feel a certain degree of pity for the guy. I've witnessed others go through identity crisis' in the past, it's never an easy thing to deal with. I mean, Kabuto was backstabbed by Danzō and Konoha's Root ANBU, despite all the good he did for them and Orochimaru pounced on that opportunity to win him over and he subsequently fell even further from his true identity. In terms ability though, he's really OP for a guy that doesn't possess a dōjutsu, or Six Paths abilities. A mastered Sage Mode, various non-elemental KKG's, and supreme medical/healing abilities? One on one, not sure if Itachi even in his Edo Tensei condition would've been able to take him down. EMS Sasuke definitely wouldn't have beaten him. All in all, a good character that had a happy ending.
