The episode was alright :)
Sure it was dragged out, but I think I've come to accept the fact that Shippuden will always be like this. That fact aside - it was cool to see egotistic Sasuke again and his new attack is great. Naruto needs to step up instead of whining to get Sasuke back. Why doesn't he just beat him to a pulp and bring Sasuke's near dead body back to Konoha?... xD

Hopefully the third season of Shippuden will be better :)

This is the end of the second season of Shippuuden. A long and slow season with many flashbacks.

episode 51:
All I can say about this episode is at least Sasuke's back and Sai's good...

There was nothing special about this episode, there was a lot of time wasted replaying the same scene from last episode when they discovered Sai's 'bingo' book at the beginning. Then when Naruto tripped when running towards Sasuke, that was pointless to a whole other level. It is suppose to be an emotional and happy time and he trips...
=____________________=

When the replayed the 'bingo' book scene, Sakura seemed very stupid at that moment. I really wanted to jump through my computer screen and put a dunce hat on her.
"What do the black X's mean?"

episode 52:
Pretty darn good. The nine-tails scene was the best part. Sasuke has become extremely strong, nine-tails even stated how strong Sasuke become and that's saying alot. Thank goodness Sai stopped Sasuke's sword when he did or Naruto would of become shish kabob. Naruto just kept staring at the sword and did nothing about it.

Sasuke looks all grown up.. too bad his dark side is still there, but I guess that's what makes him himself.

Loved the end. Sasuke and Itachi are so cute together when they were young.

Awesome.
Well, is it just me or doesn't it seem incredibly unfair to you that Sasuke is superior to Naruto? I mean, he just "Chidori Nagashi" and PUFF, "I win"; WHAT THE F*CK? Am I the only one that thinks that Naruto learnt very little in those 2 and a half years? I mean, he learnt the Rasengan in, like, 1 month or so. Are you telling me that in 2 years and a half he just improved his rasengan to Oodama Rasengan and learnt time his Kage-bunshin better? That is just NOT right... There has to be something that he hasn't shown yet...
Anyway, I find Sasuke stupidly over-powered. But, well, if it is for the sake of the story, I guess I can go with it

You fucking idiot, Sasuke =_= "The idea of doing what he said in order to become more powerful made me sick" Seriously?? Sasuke?? You already did all of whatever he said. Hate him, detest him, cling to life, whatever Itachi said =_=
Also, I don't like how they are making Sasuke so powerful. I think, he is still far behind Madara. He easily stabbed Yamato. Sai and Naruto were also easily repelled by him. Well, I like your new outfit, though.
Kurama seems to care about Naruto. Combined episodes again, and the next episode, too, huh. Welp, time for me to sleep. I am not feeling well today.

I actually really liked this episode. The long awaited reunion was very entertaining to watch. Also, the subtle foreshadowing was really interesting to see, having read the manga already.

I loved this episode..:D Saske can easy beat up all four of them in 2 minutes.:D Dont know why everybody underestimate his power at the beginning.. like drawings will kill him.. sure.. Anyway kinda disappointed in Naruto, he is weak. And Sakura was useless once again.. Just standing.. im quite impressed she didn't cry this time.. but wait, there is still enough time for her to do thet..:D

That part in episode 52 where Sasuke is in Naruto's mind is pretty damn cool

finally the scene from ep1 in it's (almost) full length.

sai definitely surprised me for good, really loved how kishimoto combined the concretion between sasuke and sai.

and though the episode dragged a little, it was one of the best in this arc.

oh and naruto fall, so failed ><

First half was hella boring and slow paced. Like Sai has an assassination book, and Sasuke was included in there, hmm what could this possibly mean? Like seriously?!?

Second half was a bit alright. Sasuke is edgier than ever before also Sai's finally on the 'good side' I guess?

I feel like watching this anime is a waste of my time. Nothing special happens. Sakura ugly bitch only knows how to get angry at naruto and sai and do sasuke's asslicking. She makes me feel like I'm about to throw up. Naruto is all more embarrassing. He did not fucking change in 3 years of time. stil gayasf for sasuke, not knows how to keep his cool, and the only way he knows how to fight is use shadow clones and rasengan. Orochimaru only knows how to vomit himself out of his body or pull out snakes from literally anywhere of his body parts. Sai on the contrary has shown good character development since the moment he was introduced till now, it is nice watching Sai do whatever he is doing. Because of him i gave this episode a 3. Captain yamato is good too he along with sai saved this ep for me. I will give a little bit credit to Sasuke as well, the development in his character over the three years looks insane and he is kinda cool now even though i dislike him but yes he is still better. Honestly Naruto and Sakura which are the main characters of this show have been written so badly that it feels like a waste of time. Im dropping the rating of this anime to 4 for now. I wonder if it gets better for me. All i have been watching at this point of 50 fucking episodes is uselessly Sakura punching stuff here and there beating naruto and calling out names of everyone; Naruto getting impatient asf and losing his cool every now and then not knowing how to fight and being embarrassing asf and other side characters who might have shown good development which made this series watchable for me. But what is the point if the main characters themselves are written trash. Also not to mention the UNIMAGINABLE SLOW PACING OF FIGHTS OH GOD. yes what the actual fuck.
in any case i would like to see sasuke's development, what sai is gonna do now, kakashi sensei and jiraya sensei more.

I like the evolution that Sai had in these chapters, although perhaps a little rushed, in the sense that he has spent years repressing his emotions and only following orders, but now that that is gone in a single adventure, it is not so realistic, even so it is only a small complaint.

One of the most stupid moments of Sakura. I never wanted to hate Sakura but damn she speaks without thinking. I know Sai is a suspicious guy but man, do you really believe that Sasuke would just join you as if he's asking to be rescued when he's the one willingly go to orochimaru's side? Have you been thinking this past few years?

These plot twists are getting ridiculous, to M. Might Shyamalan levels. How many times is Sai going to randomly switch sides? If he's so untrustworthy why on earth did they send him in this mission to begin with.

Got some minor Sasuke, looking forward to what happens next. Happy to know I was wrong about Sai though.
