New opening is passable, though the video for it sucks because its half clips from the show. That's just lazy. New ending is crap.

I kinda liked this episode. I think this story arc isn't actually too bad. If anything, I think that the main problem is everything is rushed. They have a decent story here, but because they try to do the whole thing in 4 episodes, it feels so choppy. I think this one could have been good if it had been given more time to work with.

Plus, Unconcious Lee was pretty sweet!

but why did they attach the little one, plus they seal the door with a explosive note... he can't even move!
Um, because he's already proven that he's extremely dangerous even without the ability to move because he's got bitchin psionics.

I actually thought for a minute that Raiga was just an illusion created by the kid for awhile. I was waiting for Zabuza and Haku to kill Raiga in the kids flashback or something at some point. Mainly because Raiga seemed to just vanish when he got Rasengan, but at the end of the ep we see that was just cheap animation at work.
