No, it's not the same situation as Edo-Minato transferring Yin Kurama to dying Naruto, it's kinda like he gave Naruto some of Yin Kurama chakra (but not the whole Yin Kurama) so Naruto could continue the battle against Juubito. I know that the scene with Kushina-Naruto/Yin-Yang Kurama parallels the one in cannon, where Edo-Minato was in Kushina's place, but there they actually mixed their chakra to allow Minato to teleport the Shinobi Alliance via FTG out from Juubito's barrier, here Kushina rather gave Naruto some of her/Yin-Kurama's chakra to power him up and get the better control over Kurama's chakra.

Overall, I'm dissatisfied with this episode again. Yeah, sure, Naruto-Kushina scene was rather dramatic, BUT the events following it were just a piece of trash. Kushina was supposed to sarcifice herself after giving Yin-Kurama to Naruto - nope, Kurama didn't become complete within Naruto, and Kushina stayed alive. Naruto was supposed to go into Kurama mode and crush the Pain - nope, got out from CT with the same 8-Tailed form, then magically transformed it into NTCM and knocked out Pain by simply stretching the Chakra Arms. The dialogue with Nagato was just a failed reboot of the original scene in cannon with no logic at all. The same with Sasuke vs Oro scene, which supposed to be the great fight between truly powerful, even overpowered shinobi (here Sasuke had both CS and MS, and Oro didn't lose his arms because of Hiruzen), but again, let's show the same frames as in canon. Sasori isn't suitable for the main mastermind of Akatsuki cause his motives weren't revealed at all, and it's also the scene mirroring the one in canon, just with Sasori in Obito's place. Sasuke's motivation to destroy the village here is a bit farfetched too. To sum up, I already guess that Studio Pierott isn't thinking about the quality of the plot at all, but only about the quantity of these episodes, although I hope that Itachi's arc will fix the sutiation a bit.
