Such an abysmal and cliched world domination plan. Oh well I've usually ignored the reasons for fighting in shounen anime and just enjoyed the fights themselves anyway.

Yup its always a cliche domination plan, but isn't that always the purpose of the enemy?
Anyways, I think sakura's an idiot, although she has good intentions..

You guys are expecting too much.

"Meaning of Life" is a wayyyyy too grand of a subject to be tackled in it's entirety on a shounen (most kids would be brain dead by the end of it... just look at what Evangelion's original ending did ¬¬).

With this in mind, at least most shows these days drift away from the "because I want more power formula" and makes the antagonists seek for either peace, or utopia, or revenge, or all at once. The fact that Madara is going with a coherent plot (as in, he is using the pre established concepts of his sharingan instead of sheer overpowering stuff with the tailed beats) AND giving his opponents a coherent and somewhat philosophical explanation behind it (MUCH MUCH better than on a ton of good anime like Code Geass for instance) already make it decent enough of a plot in my book.

Off course, he could always be seeking to cure his wife's terminal cancer, or publish his life long novel, or try to reconcile his failed marriage, or try to speak with his long gone soon, or maybe find an ancient relic that would unveil the mysteries behind life itself..... but honestly, those motifs wouldn't entice much in terms of a "war" now would they?! ¬¬

I didn't see if this question was asked already, but is Kankuro's puppet Sasori?! O.o Did I see right?

Overall a great episode, but me knowing what would happen sort of reduced my enjoyment, so I have stopped with the manga and in a few eps I will be unaware of the plot again! yay xD

5/5 episode, can't wait for Killer Bee vs. Kisame.
Seriously guys, Naruto Shippuden is not as bad as everyone thinks, you gotta be patient because the show gets better as time goes on. We need to make Naruto Shippuden's score to be higher than Bleach. I don't know why people said that Bleach is better. I watch both shows, in my opinion, Naruto Shippuden have a better plot than Bleach and Madara is a better villain than "know-it-all" Aizen.

Did anyone else find Kankuro and Temari's constant smiles stupid? -.-


Yeah lol, the director over did it with showing those reactions making them look stupid.

Many say Madara's plan is just another domination plan and although in the end resold really is in a way, he is not really doing it for that and he doesn't see himself as trying to rule the world. It's just his way of creating a better peaceful world but since his the villain his way isn't exactly ideal.
He really sees it as the way for eternal piece so that's why he actually thought that speaking to the kages actually made sense and that there was a possibility they even may agree with him.
It also explains why Pain followed him.
Personally i find that better than: "hahaha i have no reason i just do shit because am the main bad guy". For someone relatively smart as him it would have looked even worse. His twisted ideas match quite well with someone that lived so long in a rather dark world.

His plan is a fair one, you can't get more "domination" than ruling everyone's free will, I mean, if Lelouch and Kira had a similar plan you know you can't go wrong ¬¬ (is this a spoiler?! I am confused!)

Also, back then (when he was trying to take over the village) he was trying to unify the world as well, just with a shittier plan that got defused pretty quick.

Wait what? I dont remember lelouch trying to brainwash everyone. Lelouch was actually trying to unite the world through war. By giving the world a common enemy (himself) he united them. Mandara could be doing something simular and if that is the case he would be the most amazing villain ever... O.o please put spoiler tags i would hate for anyone to have it ruined for them xD

Am i the only one who thought Madara's plan was stupid? >.<!
It was great to see all the Bijuu but Wikipedia already spoiled me about the Jibuu :\
And who would've thought Kisame is that powerful o.o
But dam this is getting good, i am even considering raising the score.

Surely Sakura isn't going spout out that she loves Naruto?? RIGHT? RIGHT? URGH...

Next Week:
Killer Bee Vs Kisame! OMFG finally some "fishy" action! :D

Another awesome episode! Its really been awhile i would anticipate naruto to be shown in Japan in order to watch it.. I'm definitely hooked again!

Really liked how they showed all the tailed beast with their host :-) I'm not sure if that soap-bubble guy is real tho LOL
The expression of raikage was priceless.. it was like "damn, i lost my arm while his was safe" XD
The Eye of the Moon was sinister was expected.. and the declaration of war will be epic.. this will mean all-out fights for the anime :-D and who doesn't like that? :-)

Very nice being able to see all of the tailed beasts!

I agree! It was my first time seeing all of them, and they all looked so cool -- or, well, they at least looked interesting.

I don't care too much about what Sakura has to say, either, to be honest... I'd prefer she didn't love him or anything. Since the beginning I've been a fan of Naruto and Hinata. :< Still am.

I couldn't believe Madara told them his plan... in all seriousness... He didn't seriously think they'd agree to it, did he?! XD

The Ten-Tails looks lame compare to the Nine

Yugito = Hidden Cloud?? the Raikage has 2 Jinchuu

It's really a pain that even in the manga they didn't focus on the other Jinchuurukii's

Epic episode.
In the end they join forces for real and even Konoha takes part, although they don't want Danzou in.
It is Madara + Akatsuki + the Tailed Beasts vs Every other Shinobi out there + Naruto and Killer Bee (that will be epic)

They introduced "Juubi", and a declaration of war, baby!!
I like characters with big ambition, that's why I like Tobi, but his plan is really pretty stupid, but I think it's worth a try ahahaha.
Sakura at the end =_=

All of the Kage Summit episodes have been thrilling & intriguing.
Things are moving along, very interested to see how this is all going to pan out!!! Madara is a great character. Wondering where Danzo escaped to?

I'd like to see a Sakura & Naruto pairing, highly doubt they'll go the romantic route in this anime though haha. Interested in what she's going to say, maybe apologize but still not return Naruto's feelings? Gritting my teeth haha

Okay so how is it that Madara has 7 tailed beasts when Gaara is right there? Did Gaara have the 1 tails extracted out of him during the akatsuki's tail beast ritual?

Also did kankuro make sasori his puppet? lol

the whole 10 tails story was masterpiece, only that his plan is kinda average controlling-the-world-villain, but it's still was epic.

i believe that we see in this ep raikage acting rational for the first time.

what makes me laugh is the fact that akatsuki vs shinobi world is kinda stupid now that akatsuki have only 3 members...

this episode has so many cool scenes which would make great gifs to be contributed to tenor. I felt that the gaara has genuine care for naruto to the point that he agrees that he should be confined and not let him participate to the shinobi war but knowing naruto ehhhh that wont happen. i cant wait for another filler hell ~ it'd be great so see some original arcs about the villages lore and im so down for those!
