"Yeah, we don't need a third stage as we are all buddies now and don't need to fight, it's old and obsolete. The second stage where you tried to drown your enemies in quicksand was legit though. GG everyone" Yea that bothered me the most by far.

"We're friends right" shortly after numerous kids being encouraged to murder eachother... no. Also, i think the suicide is one of the darkest moments of the series so far. Because it's ok to talk your enemies into committing suicide.

"But if an arc starts with an interesting concept, you get hyped just to be massively let down in the end." It's an awesome concept but thoroughly ruined. It had some highs (putting some attention for Tenten was nice) and quite a few lows (in the end tenten's just as useful *cough* and everyone being oblivious to her was extremely painful to watch.

Oh and i just realized: Gaara also talked Fu to death (just be friends with any stranger! it'll work out!), and the Hidden Rain girl too (but more indirectly).

So basically it's an extremely dark episode.
