In "Bushy Brow's Pledge: Undying Love and Protection" , If Dosu threw the scroll to Zaku, how did Dosu get it back?
This is the only episode where the preview shows something that didn't happen in the next episode. (Akamaru having a conversation with Sakura and Naruto in a "bubble")
Naruto and Sasuke aren't under the tree Sakura had hid them in during the last few episodes anymore, and are laying out in the open in this episode.
Shikamaru: (Thinking) Oh no you don't, mummy man! Time to put you under wraps.
(During preview for next episode) Naruto: AHH!! He bit me!!! ~Japanese version
Dosu: His chakra is too big...too powerful...we can't fight that!
Dosu: (Talking about the Byakugan) Those eyes! He's not just looking at us, he's seeing through us.
Zaku: Did you really think that you could beat us? Face it, you ninja are just a bunch of hacks. Dosu: From a second-rate village. Neji: Huh, that's pretty tough talk. I guess that makes your village third-rate. I wonder if any of you amateurs are ready to take on the real thing.
Ino: (Laughs) Sorry for dragging you both into this, but we are a three man squad right? All for one, and one for all. Shikamaru: Yeah. What's meant to happen will. Choji: THIS AINT TEAMWORK! I CALL THIS SUICIDE! LET ME OUT OF HERE! PLEASE, LET ME GO! Shikamaru: Stop whining! You're getting on my nerves!
Sasuke: Sakura, who did this to you? Who was it? Dosu: Those marks! They're all over his body! Sakura: Sasuke wha.. what's happened to you? Sasuke: Don't worry. I'm alright. It's just the power flowing through me. In fact, I've never felt better. He gave me this gift, and he made me understand what I am. I'm an avenger, and to follow my path I must have power, even if that means being consumed by evil.
(Sasuke is holding Zaku's arms behind him and has a foot on his back) Sasuke: (Smiling evily) You seem to be very proud of these arms of yours. You must be very attached to them. Zaku: No! What are you doing?!
Ino: (Thinking about Sasuke as he attacks Zaku) His chakra...It's completely different. It's fiercer, darker. Can that really be Sasuke?
Sakura: Ino, but why? Ino: I'm tired of you showing off in front of Sasuke, and trying to get all the credit!
Ino: (In Kin's body) Party's over fellas. Take it easy. One false move from either of you and your teammate gets it in the neck. You don't want that to happen. So, here's what you do. Just drop the scroll, and walk away. When you're far enough away that I can't sense your chakras, I'll let her go. (Thinking) I don't get these guys, something's wrong.
Zaku: Better a live sheep than a dead lion. Isn't that right, fatso? Choji: Did I just here that right? What did that guy just say? Shikamaru: Uh oh. He just pushed Choji's button big time! Choji: You want to try saying that again? Zaku: I said you better get out while you still can, fatty. Choji: (Yells) Who are you calling fat?! I'm just a little chubby, ok!
Dosu: It seems that your paralysis jutsu has a pretty short duration. Shikamaru: Shadow Possession Jutsu. Get your jutsu right! Dosu: Whatever. And I see that your teammate is able to slip her soul into her opponent. Very clever, but dangerous. Whatever happens to Kin, happens to her too. And let's say Kin were to die... Shikamaru:: What are you gonna do? Kill your teammate? Zaku: Well, if push comes to shove, yeah. Shikamaru: Oh man! What a drag! Choji: Yeah, no kidding!
(Shikamaru catches Dosu in his Shadow Posession Jutsu) Dosu: What's happening?! Shikamaru: Just me and my shadow.
Sasuke: Sakura, tell me, which one of these people did this to you? Zaku: That would be me.
Neji: It looks like someone used our teammate as a punching bag. (Activates Byakugan) No one does that and gets away with it!
Naruto: (Smiling in his sleep) Sakura's in danger, I'll protect her. It's okay, Sakura, I'll save you. Shikamaru: Woah! Somebody ought to kick him and wake him up. This is embarassing. Choji: Can I kick him first?

For some odd reason, ShoPro decided that the preview for the next episode should before the credits starting with this episode. This was later changed with the previous epsiodes as well.
YTV Airdate: April 28, 2006
Original Japanese Title: The Ultimate Formation! Ino Shika Chou Romaji Episode Title: Muteki no Foomeeshon Ino Shika Chou!! Kanji Episode Title: 無敵のフォーメーション!いのシカチョウ!!
Sasuke uses the power of Orochimaru's Seal for the first time, nearly killing the Sound ninjas before Sakura begs him to stop.
In episode 82 of the Dragonball series, InoShikaCho is a monster terrorizing a village.
The names listed in Team 10's formation, Ino-Shika-Cho, are the same names as the three demons from the Sakura Wars video games.
Dosu: What's happening?! Shikamaru: Just me and my shadow. ShoPro probably threw this line in to be a reference to the English manga, in which the Kagemane no Jutsu is called the "Art of Me and My Shadow".
Ino/Shikamaru/Chouji: Ino-Shika-Chou! Ino-shika-chou, or pig, deer, and butterfly is a card combination for the game Hanafuda, and is pronounced EE-nohsh-kah-choh.
