 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: So, so many.
 * "I AM DEZAINA, YO!!" *Amegakure goes Boom*
 * Itachi, Kisame, Sasuke, and Killer Bee recite the entirety of an old slapstick film from memory, romance scenes and musical numbers included. Epic brohugs ensue.
 * The terrifying power of the Sudekaba, which concludes in Madara blowing Hashirama and Tobirama’s faces clear off the Hokage Cliffside (with a little help from Dezaina.)
 * Hangaku and Kushin's battle in Konoha, after Hangaku's attempted assassination of Kisame. Enough. Said.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Quite a few!
 * The undisputed king has to be the performance put on by Itachi, Sasuke, Kisame, and Killer Bee in order to make enough money for a ferry. It involves Sasuke making out with an orioke-no-jutsu’d bunshin of himself. And it’s caught on tape.
 * Itachi waking up the morning after regaining his sight in a garish, neon-green shirt with flamingos all over it, which is Kisame’s doing.
 * “…it really brings out the color of my eye, don’t you think?”
 * Madara lying down to take a nap on Kakashi’s desk. Kakashi, unfazed, takes out an Icha Icha novel and starts to read. Madara then begins to casually ask him about the plot.
 * Kisame, Naruto, and Killer Bee make an enormous kite out of bedsheets with BIJUU PRIDE written on it in. With a Naruto bunshin “piloting” the thing.
 * Madara and Setsu being interrupted mid-makeout by a disgruntled tea shop owner, and Madara’s response.
 * “If you don’t shut up I’ll set your tea house on fire!”
 * Madara's very lovey-dovey brief farewell to his "beloved, raven-haired, onyx-eyed princess" Setsu, after Kin asks of him a favor. Zetsu calls for an encore.
 * "FARE THEE WELL! SAYONARA! HASTA LA VISTA! BON VOYAGE! OH HOW MY HEART ACHES ALREADY!"
 * Madara gives Takate The Talk at the breakfast table one morning. At one point, after Takate asks why he and Setsu still have sex, even though she's already pregnant, Madara gives this answer:
 * Madara: You know how some people garden to plant seeds and grow plants, right?
 * Takate: Right.
 * Madara: Well some people just like playin' in the mud.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming
 * The entirety of Madara and Setsu’s back-to-back confessions in Iwagakure.

 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel:
 * Why and how Mizuko exists.
 * Hidan’s head when Yamaguchi first unearths it.
 * The effects of Gaki on Zetsu.
 * Takate and Kote when they're born. Setsu was right to warn Kabuto ahead of time.
 * And if you thought Mizuko was disturbing enough,
 * Memetic Mutation: Questions. Questions that need Answers.
 * Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Averted. Orochimaru has a vast collection of beautiful kimonos and loves makeup with a passion. Rock Joy is unabashedly feminine and wears sparkly pink pompoms in her Girlish Pigtails along with her father's traditional green jumpsuit.
 * Squick:
 * Madara thinking about sex after Setsu rejoins with her now semi-sentient womb. With teeth.
 * Setsu casually offering to feed any children she miscarries to Zetsu.
