Gaara is one evil tragic character. I hate when people show up at the last minute its so cliche.

Sasuke showing up at the last minute was expected. It was cool how he came in with Kakashi as well (: Gaara scares the daylight out of me >_>

What a waste of an episode. The only interesting scene was Gaara killing those two fools. The new ED sucks, too. Looking forward to the next!

The art was absolute shit for most of the episode. Looked horrible.

And nothing happened, man it was dragged out.

Gaara! This guy was something straight out of a horror movie this episode. I'd be scared for Sasuke normally, but that entrance was super flashy. This should be one epic fight, well, until the obvious conspiracies spread around the audience surface.

Gaara sure is scary! When will we find out what's the deal with him? He is very ... interesting.

Last minute entrance ... yeah, that was predictable ... but still cool.

Oy oy oy, don't tell me, Sasuke is late because he had a hard time picking his new clothes.
Haha, those 2 fuckers got fucked up by Gaara. Naruto and Shikamaru just stood there ahahaha.
Animation is different again =_= New ending song, and I like it.
Don't worry, Rock Lee ;_;

Heh, Kakashi shows up late with Sasuke. I'm sure they got caught by the path of life this time too. xP ....yeah it's a cliche but it sure was cool too. Great to see Sasuke again!

Gaara sure is scary... and I LOVE IT! The next fight should be epic, although I'm very conflicted.. I really want to see Gaara kick some ass, but at the same time I NEED Sasuke to win. So yeah... troublesome.

I don't like the fact Kakashi trained Sasuke but not Naruto. He is always on his own. He had luck and found a good sensei.. but still. Even Sakura doesn't support him well. Hope Naruto gets more recognition of his friends.

Now y'all know this shit is unacceptable. Tardiness like this is not okay. Even Naruto was pushing it when he was late, but Sasuke's tardiness is just beyond awful. Not only did they postpone his match, but they also gave him extra time beyond that. I forgot this is totally part of the reason why I totally didn't like Sasuke back in the day. How dare this guy get this special treatment. Making people wait like that. Rude af.

He was with Kakashi. I bet it has something to do with him rather than Sasuke actually lol

This episode was horrible. Not only was it mostly a bunch of stalling until Sasuke and Kakashi arrived at the stadium, but it had some of the worst animation in the whole series; the facial expressions were way off and entering uncanny valley territory lol. Also Sasuke's hair growing longer was stupid; it was probably meant to show that a full month had passed since we last saw him, but nobody else's hair grew so why was Sasuke an exception? Plus it just looked awful.

Bro Lee turning up was the most exiting part for me. Could they not give a brother a seat?? he's literally struggling to even stand! Good luck sasuke, now's your time to steal all the screen time and hopefully beat Gaara's ass

Kakashi always makes up an excuse for being late.
Lee was sad after hearing about his friend.
Naruto, Shikamaru, I don't think you guys should have seen this.
Is it just me or is Sasuke more handsome? He seems to have gotten stronger.
