Tch. Yeah. There's been a lot of wasted opportunity for reuniony stuff with this Edo Tensei business. Someone postulated that we'll see more little bits of things like the Dan-Tsunade scene in 'flashback' as we touch base with other pockets of people, but I'm not holding my breath. We've established that Kishimoto doesn't seem to like his Hyuugas, so skipping Neji's father-son moment is kind of expected. And I can't see any 'flashback' meeting for Suigetsu and his bro being worked in when the jutsu was released before Suigetsu really got anywhere near the battlefield. *sigh* And...I can't even remember who else I might have been hoping for, at this point, the way things have bounced between so many pockets for so long.
Re: Suigetsu and his observation - dude. I didn't realize how much I actually missed him until he showed up again and started making crudely-accurate commentary. ^_^ I love the dynamic he's got with Sasuke, and with Juugo, and how the three of them just kind of gel as a natural unit. And yes, Kishimoto's clearly pushing SasuSui - 'I was talking to Sasuke first!!' is such basic kindergarten-level I've-got-a-crush behaviour, seriously. It's adorable. Poor Suigetsu.
Confirmation of Anko's lack of deadness warrants a happy-dance, without question. Was counting on her standing as Kishimoto's favorite female to keep her alive, and I'm glad to see my faith was not unfounded. ^_^
but to honest, i didn't even notice Yamato was in that chapter at all >_<.
Yeah, I know - I'm probably like the only one who did. T_T Or the only one who finds it squee-worthy, at least. It's not a 'real' appearance by any means and I fully realize I'm over-reacting. ^_^;; But I'm kind of hoping that the fact that Kishimoto bothered to stick his face in the group shot combined with Anko's survival bodes well for Yamato's survival. Because for all I talk about Rescue, I realize it's still entirely possible he'll wind up dead. I hope not, but I can't discount the maybe.
Kakashi rescue scenario would be such a bonus. It would also help catalyze the threesome I'm trying to write, I think. May end up dawdling over this attempt just in case it does happen and can be worked in. >_
