Last time on Naruto:

Spoiler:

Steven Jay Blu-er, I mean, Zabuza happens.

No spoilers: No talk of future arcs, events, etc! All spoiler talk must be taken to the anime forum or through pm! Please have respect for all new viewers or else Zabuza will be coming for YOU. Believe it!

Enjoy the episode. Sleep is always for the weak.

[Gold Guy]

Good times! I remember that this is the episode that got me into the series back in the day.

[Hypeathon]

I'm sorry, but I have to show this commercial. In retrospect, this was so hilarious seeing this. It made having a Yugioh duel disc look cool.

[Gold Guy]

Oh wow, that does look lame.

[Gatomon41]

Now that is amazing cosplay.

[Gatomon41]

Ninja Sign!

Zabuza: I'm Gotham's Reckoning.

Blue blood? Oh yeah, that wasn't an edit afterall!

Naruto: ALL RIGHT!

Did they really need those speed lines for just that line?

[Kitschensyngk]

Ewww, they're going wee-wee everywhere!

And now Kakashi's clone vanishes and the real one puts a knife to his throat only for that Zabuza to be a clone as well, and he appears behind him with a knife to his throat, but then THAT Kakashi turns out to be a clone, too...

[trance2009]

Everybody is a clone.

[Gatomon41]

Zabuza: This jail is made of water. It's stronger than steel!

Um... what?

Zabuza: You're profile is entered into my bingo book!

Seriously, is Zabuza insane? These lines make no sense.

Though, I will admit only Steve Blum could say those lines and sound menacing.

[Hypeathon]

How many times had Zabuza said the word "ninja" in that speech?

[Kitschensyngk]

Obviously, being a ninja must have its limits, but providing they're all perfectly fit, I can see nothing wrong with one healthy man beating the living daylights out of three schoolchildren and an old geezer.

I think he plans to annihilate you whether or not you run, kid.

[Hypeathon]

The first of a LOT of lengthy flashback scenes!

[Gatomon41]

Naruto just lost his SAN. This, and Sauske considering falling on his kunai, makes me wonder if this is really a Call of Cthulhu campaign.

The first of a LOT of lengthy flashback scenes!

I think the technical term is "Padding".

Wow, Sakura's Panic Face is the funniest thing I've seen all day

Naruto: Hey you, the one with no eyebrows...

Never did notice that...

[Kitschensyngk]

Well, that accomplished nothing. Nice knowing ya, kid.

So you got your headband back. He's still gonna kill you.

[Hypeathon]

I think the technical term is "Padding".

Wasting my time is what I'd call it.

[Gatomon41]

Hold very still everyone. That way, we don't hate to animate more than we have to!

Props to Bridgebuilder guy for willing to risk everything so Naruto and gang can save the sensei.

Zabuza: It didn't really matter who I was before put on the mask.

[Kitschensyngk]

So you were a wallflower at your senior prom, I take it?

[Hypeathon]

Better than sex Zabuza?

[Gatomon41]

Senior prom wasn't a lot of fun, was it, then?

Zabuza: It felt so GOOD!

Well,Sakura loss her SAN as well. They would never survive the Cthulhu Mythos.

[Hypeathon]

Remember Naruto, according to the commercial, Zabuza's sword can't be beat!
