Onoki YOU LEGEND! And Tsunade too! My respect for them has grown tenfold after watching the latest episode (even though I knew what was already coming, the anime team did a wonderful job at portraying the emotional aspect of the two chapters that were covered in this episode).
The Gokage vs Madara fight was awesome and I loved every bit of it, especially the part when Onoki regained his consciousness after a rock fell. He turned his fighting spirit into strength and saved the other Kages from Madara's despair by obliterating the overlying wood into dust with his Jinton. I just love the way that scene was brought up with the flashbacks of Onoki's past. The motivational speech the first Tsuchikage gave to him was great and I can't believe I found a conservation about the will of stone to be very intriguing. Then, at the end, we got to hear the very same thing! But this time, it was Tsunade talking about the will of fire and I also found her speech inspirational and very admiring. I actually laughed; seeing her telling off Madara was quite funny
However, we must not forget the meeting of the two Uchiha brothers. It was cute seeing Itachi and Sasuke talking to each other about their past, present and what holds for them in the future. I'm glad the animators didn't overuse the flashbacks that we have seen so many times. I seriously cannot wait for their tag-team battle against Kabuto. Looking forward to that for sure.
5/5
