There was so many Zetsus that Neji was having serious trouble not getting grabbed. Imagine how well the no-names in that sector did.
This war happened a little too fast IMO. At least it wasn't one-sided like "That" war. Chouji lost his butterfly wings and that mountain jutsu wasn't really impressive to me.
I kind of feel jipped now that I can't see Kakashi's and Gaara's fights. This also stresses that Kabotomaru shouldn't give Pein and Itachi their free will
P.S: did A just order Tsunade http://manga.bleachexile.com/naruto-chapter-537-page-6.html

Well that's my problem. This "world war" is going to have nobody but mooks dying... yeah, that sure is realistic. I guess that's why none of the main characters in "All Quiet on the Western Front" died. Oh wait.
Samui got sealed, she's not a mook. And I suspect things are going to go worse on day 2 (or night 1).

That's not what I meant, I saw it as A yelling + Tsunade not arguing= order! Mostly because Tsunade didn't show more resistance other than showing that he had a tad bad idea.
I just rewatched Onoki use his atom crushing jutsu on Sasuke at the Kage Sumit in the anime. A variety of impressive jutsu are uninterresting to me right now.
I think a lot of the problem with Madara moving so quickly is due to our concept of war. When I think of war, I think of strategist and strong warriors on both sides, using impressive maneuvers to capture targets, disrupt supply channels, all that jazz.
This war is simply not designed like that and it is entirely due to Madara's forces. There are virtually no differences in the soldiers on his side. Of his main forces anyway. And they are basically fodder enemies though they don't have to be, which is the sad thing. 🙁

One serious problem his forces have as a result of that is they all have the same powers. So even if each Zetsu is effectively chunin strength, the longer the fight goes on the more everyone knows their tricks, attack patterns, etc., very critical stuff for ninja.
The Zombies mix things up a lot to make the issue a lot harder, but that does impact their effectiveness and give Madara a reason to rush it.

I know. I also know a way around that. The Zetsu can apparently mimic anyone, even weapons. Holy crap, that could lead to some awesome subterfuge. I'd love it if they captured a unit and impersonated it.
Kabuto himself is a wild card. Madara can't trust him so I suppose he would need to hurry.

You mean, the clone jutsu used to fake Kisame's death? I'd be surprised if the copies could use that on their own, personally. Less chakra and, I'd guess by the looks of it, intelligence, in them.
Main Zetsu bodies can probably do the jutsu using them as material, but that'd probably be a suboptimal use of main Zetsu.

But there didn't have to be is the sad thing. Obviously they can't be as good as the normal Zetsu but at least give them something that makes them a more credible threat. Right now they really don't have that.
Hmm...I wonder how Madara plans to seal Kin/Gin so quickly. Did he get the rings?

I have the feeling that Kabuto will end up being the final villain. The way this last chapter played out, seems like it might be setting up for Madara to die soon.
Would genuinely hate that.
If it is not Madara, I would like for it to be Sasuke. awesome

They seemed important for the sealing and yet Madara plans to seal Kin and Gin quickly without them.
I'm actually wondering if we'll see them again.
