I would also have to disagree, as I didn't find anything in the arc to be noteworthy, apart from Tobi dicking around with the Konoha nin, and Sasuke pwning Itachi with a blitz, only for him to reveal that he was a clone.Invasion of Pain had Naruto finally realize what it was Sasuke went through as a child. That's why I liked it.
I thought the fight with Deidara was memorable and awesome. Tobi's reveal of being Madara was also pretty awesome and a promise of epic stuff to come. The reveal of Naruto's parents, Jiraiya and Pain's fun times, the death of several beloved characters(Deidara was beloved 😛) and the tragedy of Itachi's past. The worst part about the arc was the heroes not getting to do much but I'm fine with that. 😛
That was good. But it didn't save it for me from that ending.
Easily the Kage summit arc. We have Sasuke acting batshit, Naruto hyperventilating over Sasuke being declared a Missing-nin, Sakura lying about loving Naruto like a ***** to trick him into giving up on Sasuke and no Tsunade boobies.
Just awful. The absolute low point for the main characters.
Although I do dislike the arc where Sai is introduced. Laem.
I'd agree that the Invasion of Pain arc was better than the Itachi Pursuit arc. While, as mentioned, the Invasion of Pain suffered greatly from the resurrection of everyone killed in Konoha, the reveal of the ability still had the specific purpose of foreshadowing.
While the Itachi Pursuit arc did not only feel underwhelming with too much of an emphasis on the Sharingan, but also poorly justified within the context of the story.

Heh, never mind then. I thought the Itachi pursuit arc started after Deidara's death, and ended just after Itachi killed himself.
Tobi's conversation with Sasuke set the stage for the remainder of the plot, and that interlude with Pain was pretty epic as it had Tobi revealing to us his greatest trick, as well as Jiraiya's death.
I still think Invasion of Pain was better though, even if the way the arc was resolved was so mind-numbingly stupid that it could be considered the lowest point of the series.

On the flip side, you had all the Kage introduced, playing a game of Sasukeball, some Gaara time, and Danzo's death.

But that doesn't make up for the worst of it. And the Sasuke vs Danzo fight was excrutiating to read when it first came out.
Though I still think "Sasuke and the magic eyeball" is still the worst
just realized something:
edo tensei revived madara as his youthful self, and kabuto revealed that he knows of his golden age/prime. now, some people said golden age/prime meant zenith of power, but it could also mean old age, like his golden years as a geezer/prime of age (remember this is japanese we're talking about here). "how do you know about my golden age/prime?" doesn't have to mean how does kabuto know about his height of power but cit could mean how he knows about his long lifespan
nagato was revived in his meth-head state, and that's presumably how madara would have died now that we saw him as an old guy.

I love how with Naruto there are 3 choices(or 4 I guess) while Bleach and OP get one.
Well, with Naruto, if there's a weak arc, it's not always weak the same way, and they each have some redeeming factor, but different for each one. So it's much more opinion based, people's tastes will vary.
With One Piece, all the weak arcs are weak in pretty similar fashion (in part because it's arcs tend to be fairly similar), so it's like, "Well, yea, this one was definitely weak, but this other one was clearly weaker." So while there's a couple arcs I rate low (Skypeia, DrumDrum Island), Fishman Island has the problems that those others ones do, only more.
With Bleach, the bad arc takes up like 1/3 the series. So.

So I am your "opponent" now, eh? How utterly lame and "srs bsns" of you. And, yes, you should cover thine ass (correct way to say it). You shouldn't expect everything to be spoon fed to you...especially since I gave you 2 specific page numbers and the exact source (which is more than adequate enough for "evidence" in any online discussion).

That's partially the reason. The reason was because you were having one of your Nephthys moments. You know, that partial trolling, partial raging, partial *sshole moments.

Yes, heaven forbid you to actually *gaspity* stop being lazy and verify the source material and page numbers, yourself. Worst case scenario (because you did find the Japanese version), you could just ask if what I said translated to what it did. lolololol But that would require to actually make an effort to prove your point. The burden of proof is not on me to prove your point, only mine. I did, cited my source, and that should have been the end of it UNLESS you made an effort to get an alternate translation that proved your perspective and contradicted mine.

Nah, for legitimately intelligent people, such as myself but apparently excluding you, it does not take mental cartwheels to remember a conversation. But, keep talking down to yourself at the same time you call yourself intelligent: the contradictory nature only helps prove my point.

No, not really. I can't really remember people saying that, or else I wasn't paying attention when they did. It was news to me.
The real answer is the following:
1. You forgot because your memory, to your own admission (to your chagrin, no doubt) is slippery.
2. You were not paying attention.
