「ポジティブフィードバック・ゼロ」 (Pojitibu Fiidobakku Zero)
"Positive Feedback Zero"

Damn, that was one hot Little Boy. Oh crap, I don't think that came out right. "It's not what you think your honor, it's the name of a move in a Japanese cartoon!", probably won't hold up very well in court huh? So um... anyway... Aruka is down, Blade vs. Arclight is on! It's the battle of the Zero fragments.

N470 - That Was Anything But Heartfelt

I know it's Sakura's nature to be a tsundere, but forcing the whole confession on Naruto and trying to make him feel bad for not giving her a response doesn't sit well with me. Even if she has to maintain a tough exterior, I don't think forcing a favorable response is the right way of going about it. Also, what started as a confession quickly became Sakura's means of telling Naruto to stop going after Sasuke for her. It's almost as if she's given her half-baked feelings to him now as compensation for what she's put him through. By the sound of things, she's reluctant about it too.

I don't doubt that she cares about Naruto and his well-being, but her inner apology to him comes off as her regretting doing this and trampling on his personal desire to help Sasuke. No matter how you slice that, I still see it as her feelings not being genuine enough. What's funny though is that she's taking it upon herself to find Sasuke, but drags Kiba along. If she asks Rock Lee for help too, I'm going to start having flashbacks to what she just tried to fix with Naruto. That said, I'm curious as to what Kiba was referring to when he suggested telling Naruto the "truth". If I haven't overlooked anything, it looks like they're both hiding something from one another at this point.

Anyway, we see how Gaara can get people to change just like Naruto does, which is a predominant theme as usual. More importantly, we finally see some Killer Bee vs. Kisame action. I find it pretty ridiculous that Kisame's Samehada can absorb the amount of chakra a Jinchuuriki has, but hey, I don't write this stuff.

* From what everyone's telling me, what Naruto doesn't know right now is that Konoha's decided to kill Sasuke themselves. I gather that's what Sakura's team is out to do right now. Thanks to those who pointed this out.

「ミルク＆ビター＆シュガー＆スパイス」 (Miruku & Bitaa & Shugaa & Supaisu)
"Milk & Bitter & Sugar & Spice"

AIC doesn't cease to amaze me with their work here. Their animation is so detailed, clean, and crisp that it makes you think you're watching some high budget BONES production. It takes awhile to notice that you're actually not, and seeing this level of quality in a comedy series of all things. Now if only all studios could produce work at these standards.

「Heimkehr ～敵か味方か～」 (Teki ka Mikata ka)
"Homecoming ~Friend or Foe~"

Natsuru my boy, you are so screwed. Shizuku's in your dreams now; there's no escaping her deadly lips anymore! Just give in and let her ravish your body like there's no tomorrow. You'll learn to like it soon enough.

「VI-I end game」

The playing field has been wiped clean, the pieces reset. After Beatrice's conniving attempt to win last time, it's clear she shouldn't be taken lightly. The stakes have been increased now that the vicious 12 year cycle is known, but Battler has Ange's help for this fourth game. Beatrice also arrogantly grants him the use of the "blue truth", which may just come back to bite her in the ass.

「friends」
"Friends"

Now this is the Saitou Chiwa that I know. Miyako is bratty, obnoxious, yet somewhat cute, unlike the other end of the spectrum seen in Senjougahara Hitagi. What's surprising here is Takagaki Ayahi, who's voicing Sumika like I've never heard her before.

「友と明日のために barátoknak, holnapra」 (Tomo to Asu no Tame ni)
"For Friends and the Future"

After watching Kakeru run away for four episodes, I was starting to wonder when the poor guy will ever awaken his ability. He may have been hotheaded at first, but his frustration is justified at this point. Luckily that all changes now; Kakeru awakens, along with his Eye of Aeon.

「決意」 (Ketsui)
"Determination"

I just hate it when people are meandering over miscommunication and the angst that goes along with it, but I can really feel for the characters here. Yes, everything can be resolved if one person is able to break past their insecurities, but when no one can, you just want to get in there and do it yourself.
