yea me too. i like the shippuden soundtracks but it is almost all dramatic with little variation. and i'm not too big a fan of the chorus and organ stuff. i'd love for them to mix in the older soundtracks. it certainly beats hearing the same stuff over and over. im not down on the shippuden music though. i like it for the most part

Uhhh, if someone is killed before they can even reacted, anyone will die, no matter how strong you are.
Well that and this (SANDAIME) Kazekage may indeed not be as powerful in the traditional sense. Magnet Style is very potent, however. |

While it was odd that Sasori and Deidara were beaten so fast, in retrospective it's better that it happened that way. It's all about the plot, their characters were already used to full extent while they were alive, so there was nothing interesting about them any more, so Kishimoto decided to use them as plot devices to show us how much did the good guys grown. Otherwise fitting in all these characters would break the flow of the story and people would complain that there's too much of boring side characters. Even as it is now people complained a lot about how slowly things are going. So by the time Gaara's father was introduced we could already expect that he might not get as much screen time as the other 3 kages there, since he never was meant to be an interesting character. Kishimoto didn't even bother to show how the Orochimaru-Kimimaro-Kabuto trio killed him, so his role was to be a plot device to give Gaara what we saw in this episode. Edo Tensei zombies are in the plot either because they were super-strong and thus interesting to see in battle (and also by having the strongest ninja of the past we get a deeper look into the ninja world, because previously the story was too much konoha-centered) or because they are strongly connected to important characters in the story. And also those who died with some hatred or pain consuming them are given a "happy end". Such connections are: Sasori - Kankuro, Sai - his brother, Kakashi - Zabuza+Haku, Ino-Shika-Cho - Asuma, Gaara - his father, etc. In these cases don't expect a cool battle with new skills and kickass jutsu.
