Haku's backstory is v sad, the snow village flashback hurts. That ending with Kakashi is brutal

I remember watching this episode back then, and it was pure hype because of all the action. Rewatching it now, with a better understanding of where the story is heading, made me appreciate it even more. It was great to see things from the villains' perspective, as it highlighted the distinction between two different kinds of evil.

The studio really does a good job in showing how wild and intense Naruto's state in his fight against Haku. Haku's past is revealed in this episode and why he is loyal to Zabuza. Kakashi's side is also starting to finish up as well.
