NARUTO-THE DEMON IN THE SNOW-EPISODE 19-3 STARS

Once again another good episode, but I think the writers went a little overboard with Haku’s death. Before I get into that, let’s talk about Gato, who’s about to have his guys take Zabuza out since he’s too expensive to keep around.

Gato also kicks a dead Haku, and Naruto gets all pissed off, and demands that Zabuza do something about it. The thing is, why in the hell would Zabuza care about Haku now that he’s dead, when he didn’t give a snot about him when he was alive?

So it was no surprise to me that Zabuza turned his head the other way, and now Naruto is more pissed off than ever. He starts bitchin’ that Zabuza never let Haku have a dream of his own, and how it was so wrong to just kick him to the curb.

“But that’s the shinobi way Naruto, didn’t you know that?” Anyway, Zabuza thinks about this for a few moments, and starts crying, saying those words cut deep. Okay now, that’s a bunch of crap, Zabuza has been a self-centered jerk all this time, and now I’m supposed to believe that now in the end, he’s all choked up over Haku?

Now at this time, Zabuza decides to take off his mask, and I finally get to see that handsome face. Wait, what is this?

“ZABUZA, CAN YOU PLEASE PUT YOUR MASK BACK ON BEFORE I GET SICK?????” Of course he pays me no mind, but I’ve got a bottle of Mylanta in front of me just in case I start getting queasy. Now Zabuza arms are broken, but somehow he has enough ability to take Gato out.

Naruto loans him a knife, and miraculously, Zabuza is able to stab Gato and a bunch of guys with the knife in his mouth. Hmmmm, that must be a move that you pick up in ninja school, ’cause I’ve never seen that happen before!

Oh, did I tell you that Sasuke is alive? No, I’m not very thrilled about it, but at least Naruto will continue to have someone to hate. Anyway Gato’s goons decide to loot the village since a dead Gato can’t pay anyone. But, hey what’s this? All the villagers show up with Inari leading the way, and it’s about time!

Naruto and Kakashi get into the act by using their clone jutsus. Hey, I want one of those Kakashi clones, just as soon as they take a bath! After witnessing this, Gato’s goons wig out, then jump on a boat to make their escape.

Good, now I can end this review, well wait, Zabuza has the nerve to ask Kakashi for a favor, to die right along side Haku. Oh brother, “Zabuza, just die already, please.”
