I was gonna write something very snide and diss the lot of you.
However, they updated the forum and I lost the message.
So now I will type up one void of my slurs and verbose abuse of your lack of favorable qualities.
Here is my view on this weeks episode.
1.) Madara showed his weakness again the first page of this week.
He is assuming that he is high and mighty. That he is so much better than them. Even in an uneven fight he feels as though he can handle them. This is a huge mistake, and will prove to ultimately cause his defeat.
2.) Tsunade's first move after healing herself was to heal her comrades.
She even asked for a distraction from the others. Tsunade as the Kage of the medical ninja concept SHE inspired and helped create. I love her appreciation for life and the value of healthiness. The old ninja mindset wouldn't have been to spend chakra healing your ally. "Let him take care of himself. If he dies, oh well." Tsunade was part of the original driving force to have healers on ninja teams, and now she is representing that change by healing her shinobi alliance kage counterparts. Naruto worries about her, which is understandable. I think he loves Tsunade as a grandparent, even though he's never truly expressed that out loud. Tsunade is truly powerful and well deserving of her role as Konoha's Hokage. I enjoy watching her back in action. I look forward to her first attack in this combat.
3.) The Raikage and Mizukage's Combo attack was actually incredibly deadly. I totally loved it. It reminded me of a coffin! She spewed it at him, and he got punched into it. Then he got buried further into it. Then she spewed some on top and trapped him inside of it. That was awesome! Someone without an ultimate defense like the Susanoo would have been murdered.
Great Teamwork! I expected no less, and I know the show is not over for sweet combos just like my next part.
4.) EdoMadara's Susanoo throwing the Magatama

5.) The Raikage's Combo attack with the Tsuchikage was so awesome!
I think Muu got defeated as a side attack to the main event. The Raikage is shown nearly cutting Muu in half here, and it is the last he is seen of for the rest of the episode i believe.

The final strike on the Susanoo was super huge, they sent that whole demon avatar flying like a little punk and EdoMadara with it.
For those you dissing it, don't forget that Tsuchikage's aggravated rock technique makes his strikes more powerful, more aggressive. Tsuchikage as an old man defeated the crab that no one else seemed capable of doing.

This move was so powerful that he blew out his back and literally broke the clam shell into many many pieces.
Then take the Raikage's power and speed into account. He is massive because he funnels lightning through his muscles to make himself faster and stronger, plus he's hugish already.
If you combine the two of those into one attack, you have what we have rarely ever seen, a physical attack so massive that it boggles the mind. You can go even further with it and look at the characters and the physical act of what they did. The tsuchikage RODE the Raikage into battle and he used his jutsu on him to make his strike more critical. During the summit these guys showed major disdain for one another, yet here they are saving one another, using combos together, even allowing each other to RIDE them. This is all very important distinctions in their actions. They are working TOGETHER. Thats the truly amazing part, and against their teamwork, Madara is helpless.
6.) The part where all the kages talk about fighting for a new reason and wanting Naruto to trust EdoMadara to them, and that they are trusting him with beating Tobi (the real threat) was very touching. I enjoyed it. Im sure during the anime it will a very heartwarming experience.

The final shot with Tobi and Naruto face to face in the headbutt was totally amazing. Its one of my most favored moments now. You have to analyze what happened to truly enjoy it. Naruto didn't use a jutsu, he didn't talk to tobi, he didn't hesitate, he didn't even blink. All he did was move forward at the fastest speed possible and literally body strike Tobi. The first thing that happens is Tobi sees Naruto and then instantly Naruto blasts his Konoha Forehead Protector right into Tobi's mask. You can see the impact and the slight crack in Tobi's mask and the look of grit and determination on Naruto's face compared to the expression of wide eyed shock on Tobis should not be missed. So perfect... words barely express...
No excess or correct usage of words could adequately describe the complexity of this confrontation.

I totally called this matchup just last week in the prediction thread...
9.) Hope you enjoyed my super articulated extremely verbose jutsu!
