Episode Summary
Infinite dream confronts the Eye of the Moon plan's purpose as Madara and Obito move to cast the world into eternal illusion. The episode is the canon arc's existential turn — the infinite dream the villains would impose, a reality where loss is erased and everyone lives in a perfect lie. The war's true stakes become clear: reality itself. It's a canon war beat of profound stakes, the infinite dream the nightmare the alliance fights to prevent, the choice between painful truth and a beautiful, hollow illusion.
