I really dislike Sakura I think shes so annoying I hope as the series goes on she gets less annoying. I thought Narutos reaction to Haku was really sweet and I can't wait to see him fight Zabuza.

Sakura is definitely annoying... And Naruto's 'believe it' line, totally gets stuck in my head, sometimes it even slips out.

Well! This was the first episode to really blow me away. Lil Inari's so cute with his colander helmet. I guess the rest of the village didn't want to be out-manlied by a child.

Holy fuck! I was surprised to see just how far Haku would go to protect Zabuza. Poor guy.

Love the emotion from Sakura over Sasuke's body. Something tells me he can't be dead this early on, but still it's a nice moment.

Kakashi vs Zabuza action was great, and with Gatoh and his goons showing up, it looks like shit's about to go down next ep.

I actually liked the scene of Sakura crying over Sasuke, though the fact that he obviously can't be dead this early sort of hurts the impact. But, it isn't as though this was obvious when the series originally aired so I can't fault it to much.

It strikes me as odd that people find it annoying for her to be crying over someone she is in love with. Also, Kakashi is so freaking awesome. And, I was surprised that Haku died in that fashion, didn't see that coming.

Most of these posters are trolling the series, and guys stop with the spoilers. If you dont have nothing to say that relates to the current naruto storyline, Then you have no business commenting here, just to say, i hate this character, i hate that character and place your own negative comments on the original series, when your far into shipuuden. Don't you flamers have something better to do. Go pick on another series. lol

The Naruto trolling society is bigger than the Narutotard society.
And neither is good.
This is my second time to watch the series, because i dropped anime altogether 2 years ago when I started high school.
Since I roam a lot through the forums I thought to myself 'Am I that retarded to not be able to see just how bad Naruto is?'
And then I realized IT'S NOT.
And this episode proves it. I cried for gods sake. And the last time I cried was during My Neighbour Totoro.
It may not be a masterpiece, but it's still better than 30 % of the shows out there.

MON CREYS.
I CANNOT CONTAIN THEM.

*spoilers for ep 18 and 19*

OHMAIHGOD HAKU AND ZABUZA.

//cries and cries and cries forever//

I also agree with those who say that the fact we know Sasuke isn't going to die, but that doesn't make Sakura's reaction any less heart wrenching.

I still don't get why people think Sakura's personality is god-awful, cuz I'm not seeing it. Yeah I wish she would've participated, but protected Tazuna was just as important and she followed her instructions despite knowing her teammates were out there getting hurt.

Good girl. I think I may even like her a bit o_O

Great episode :D

I really liked this epi, quite varied. I agree the scene with Sasuka (I'm not good with the names) was the worst part, but they're were a few twists and turns that were really enjoyable. Also, just to give one thing away, it went from the death scene to the battle scene, and I found it quite funny how Kakashi just dodged Zabusa's attacks, then punched him in the face! xD Also, the ending was pretty awesome. Sorry for lack of detail, trying to be as spoiler-free as possible.

It's seriously annoying that I have to post with a hand to cover your post softcandy. Does the "do not discuss the anime beyond this point" not apply to you?

Anyway.

I think this episode was very emotional. I think I actually had a lump in my throat at some point, I normally don't connect with anime this much. It's past midnight so I have to go now, I wish I could watch the next one now but it's too late.

I'll watch the next one straight away tomorrow, this series is amazing. Where's the 6 out of 5 option?

Aw man, Haku should have just used the mirror or some shit to block Kakashi's attack :/
Poor Haku ;_; I am sure that Zabuza is crying inside.
I know that Sakura can get pretty annoying sometimes, but let her cry, people =_=

Rewatching!

This episode made me cry so much. This was actually the first episode of Naruto I ever saw 4 years ago and what made me start it from the start. It was also my very first anime!

When Zabuza is losing, and Kakashi comments upon the true meaning of strength, I think he's referring to himself managing to stay cool, even though Sasuke is dead, while Zabuza is actually shocked about Haku's death, despite having pretended not to care. Super super sad.

Also a cool moment for Kakashi.

I guess it doesn't surprise me much that Haku died for Zabuza since everything else he does is for Zabuza. I'm somewhat glad that Naruto didn't kill him though... Not quite he's ready for that yet. Honestly though, I'm sick of Zabuza now and just ready for him to be dead and/or gone. Good episode. ★4/5

Poor Haku, his death was sad. I liked him. Zabuza probably isn't as heartless as it seems, but I guess it has to be like this.
And I can't see why people find Sakura annoying? I think she's a fine character. I don't have much to hold against her. And crying because you get the impression that someone you love died... how can that be seen as annoying? If you have a heart, you would be sad if someone you love dies. And for me that scene was very touching and sad... I shed a few tears, couldn't help it...It was heartbraking to see Sakura cry like that. And how Naruto heard her and gripped his chest... this is too much.
I like Sakura and Naruto and Sasuke. I don't see why people should come here just to say that they hate some character (discussing is a different matter). Or come here to drop some hints about future episodes. We're only supposed to discuss the anime up to this point, so I don't know if some people can't read or what? Ruining someones experience isn't very nice.

I like the OP and ED so much that I fear the time when they're going to change. The current ones are so great.

I did not think that Sakura was annoying in this episode. She really love Sasuke, and she is a girl, so i think is that ok to her react like that.

It was sad when Naruto said that if they had met under different circumstances, they could have been friends...was even sadder when Haku stopped Naruto from giving the "finishing blow," said that he can't die yet, only to sacrifice himself and die a second later :(

I'm glad Naruto wanted to hear out Haku though, it's a really important trait of Naruto. Other shinobi would most likely just deal the finishing blow without asking, but not Naruto. He wanted to understand why. Unfortunately Kakashi was the one who killed Haku. I don't think it could have gotten any other way though. Zabuza didn't seem to feel a thing for when Haku died x_x

That rule Sakura recited, I doubt that's something every shinobi could do, kill their emotions during missions.

So...Why didn't Kakashi just tell the dogs to eat Zabuza alive? There's literally no reason why he shouldn't have. Other than to have a really forced in melodrama :/ Seriously, there's so many plotholes in this arc. Why didn't Kakashi just melt the ice mirrors with his fire jutsu? Even if he doesn't have fire jutsu, he could have copied Sasuke's fireball jutsu with his sharingan if he got close enough to see them.

i believe the episode should had end with haku death cliffhanger, better than current cliffhanger.

and you would thing zabuza would have little likeness to haku...

sakura crying was really out of place for me, and she's still worthless, the only thing she did those past episode is screaming and crying.

and why kakashi playing with zabuza? he should'd kill him already as he planned to.

Sakura has annoyed me throughout all of the episodes so far, and this one is no different, although I did feel sorry for her about Sasuke. Haku was truly a great character to be honest, very morally grey as he's only doing what he thinks is right because he loves Zabuza so much. It was so sad!

looks like the end of zabuza, def one of my favorite characters so far, haku sacrificing himself for zabuza instead of dying to naruto was a fitting end for his character. im gonna miss him, looks like possibly one more episode left in this arc!

also side note sakura is so easy to ignore that im not even annoyed at her character, i barley even remember she is there, idont have any hatred towards her character nor do i like her character, shes kind of just.....there. i can understand how that may make people hate her but i think its a little over done.
