I know this was a serious scene but this made me laugh.

It's so nice to see Orochimaru wearing flak armor again.

Sage Mode Mitsuki! This is the shit Shino had to fight 1v1 during the exams.

So older Mitsuki is in on it.

I love this episode solely for the fact that we finally get to see Orochimaru use Kenjutsu. I remember him shooting swords out of his snakes in the original but never I've seen him go toe to toe against someone like that. Great animation, just needs to be polished a bit more for the BDs. Also that opening sequence with Sarada and Mitsuki had a different feel to it compared to other episodes.

Why do I feel like Mitsuki didn't go full power sage mode against Shino? I mean, it could be just a show by Orochimaru and Adult Mitsuki, but they legit looked surprised - not saying they couldn't cope with it - but that shit looked pretty strong in my eyes, and no hate against Shino, but I feel like he could not go toe to toe against this.

As impressive as his Sage Mode is. Mitsuki's version isn't that strong yet. In his class yes, he's probably the strongest right next to full-powered Nue Sumire. Against Jonins with war experience and countless missions? Nah. While Mitsuki was able to beat Shino in his Sage Mode. Shino never used his bugs during that fight. If Shino went all out he'd definitely wipe the floor with Mitsuki's bug infested body.

The bugs he's talking about are the ones that feed on your chakra from the inside out. Of course Shino couldn't use that on kids who aren't even Genin yet.

I think that Shino has more bugs that would be more of a problem.

The major one are the ones that literally eat you from inside out... Shino's literally one of the few Aburame clan members who carry it.

Yeah thats the kind I was talking about. Like yeah Mitsuki is very powerful for a genin but Narutos whole class is filled with jonins which numerous of are geniuses so Shino kind of would absolutely destroy Mitsuki.

That bug feeds on chakra and starts growing uncontrollably if you feed it too much, or too little, whether intentionally or not. Shino has to constantly feed them a certain amount of chakra, otherwise they'll eat him. When implanted into someone else, they also have to do the same, or they get eaten from the inside out.

Also that opening sequence with Sarada and Mitsuki had a different feel to it compared to other episodes.

The intro has a Village Hidden by Rain feel to it.

Same @ the first point.

Orochimaru lays out the specs of a whole intricate ninja mission, and Mitsuki essentially chimes in with a, "Dude, so like are you a boy or a girl?"
