One Piece 740 - Oh Usopp! Everyone needs you! I have every faith he will actually save the day. But it will be interesting to see just how. I hope Luffy gets some more action soon, too, and wonder what will happen when the toy soldier turns back into the huge gladiator...

Naruto 667 - I thought I'd been spoiled to elements of this, but luckily I was wrong. Gai shows some admirable resolve, though since in story terms he has no hope of doing anything but stalling it seems a shame, and it turns out that Itachi's ultimate jutsu is actually self-reflection-and-redemption-no-jutsu, which I suppose suits the series these days. Meh.
