agree, i like Danzo too.. He died as Hokage to protect Konoha(although his way misguided), in the end he realized he never surpass Hiruzen

After reading the manga it is still very sad seeing danzo's past. Felt sorry for him when he was trying to run with all the blood and Sasuke just having some evil face on him.
Sasuke keeps getting worse ...

I dont think Danzo is so great. If he would have more chakra/strong jutsu's (Izanagi is timed immortality, nothing more) he would be similar to Pain (Peace due fear) with much worse background story. I dont know how he was maintaining control over the root

Great episode. I guess I always thought Danzo actually did care about Konoha but he was too much of a coward to be Hokage.

Ah seeing Hiruzen made me really sad again. I missed him, I was sad when he died with a smile on his face wayyy back in the first airing of Naruto on the local channel here in my country. Yup I guess I like that old geezer that much even though he's just a side character on this series. Danzo on the other hand, got only pity from me. In a way, at least he died thinking his sacrifice will be for Konoha, no matter how futile it was.

Sasuke is turning out to be one sick bastard is he? I almost hate him now like Makoto from School Days.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

I have a feeling we'll be seeing Danzo again later.

Finally Danzo dies. I respect that he tried to do whats best for Konoha and Ninja World as a whole, but his methods are inexcusable. He let his thirst for power get to his head. He sent so many to their deaths, but in the end he ran scared of dying. Very fitting end for Danzo imo.

danzo isn't that great of a character... where was danzo when Pain attacked konoha? and danzo killed the messanger frog that tried to inform naurto. he doesn't love or wants to protect konoha. he wants nothing but power. I'm interested in what kind of power did itachi gave naruto. can't wait for that. >.>

He was hiding under Konoha, waiting until Pain will destroy village and kill Tsunade, it was his plan to take over the village (it was in anime and manga, dunno how you missed it lol). But also I wonder, he had sharingans + wooden element to control kyubi, so shouldnt he help naruto after comeback in defeating Pain, should he? I noticed few flaws in the story :(

That face, that face!!!!!


Danzo's running at the end made little sense to me. Wasn't he claiming that he wasn't afraid of death? He already knew he was hit in a critical part what did he thought he will accomplish by trying to run? He might as well used that little power left, to do something with the sharingan eye he had or try and grab Sasuke and explode with him.
Or was that to show that in the end he didn't change from the past and he was still fearful of death no matter what he claimed? That he was still shaking inside like he was so many years ago when he thought about the suicide mission?



Well Danzo was always looking out for the greater good. Madara was the bigger target, so he didn't want to waste his final technique on some "small fry." So he act like his running away to basically get Madara to come to him.

Well I kinda returned to Naruto again just now and ended up seeing all the episodes quickly again. I try not to watch often because it takes too long to do the story, I think I'll start reading the Manga soon.

I always liked Danzo because he has that "for the greater good, no matter the cost" and I personally hold a similar belief on certain things. So I really liked how they ended it showing his relationship with the Third. It was really sweet.

The only thing I didn't like about this is that Danzo doesn't kill Karin, it doesn't make sense; he would instantly put out the order to kill Ao and possibly cause a war (he would kill Ao himself if he had the chance), but he doesn't kill this sensor type. I guess its just to show a bigger turning point for Sasuke; but I feel it goes against Danzo personality, he wouldn't risk a sensor watching his movements (Karin was useless anyway but still)

Danzo not killing Karin really bugged me and that is why I decided to post my thoughts somewhere. I don't have a problem with Karin but after reading a couple of comments I guess most people do. LOL.

Anyone else think Sasuke went blind on his right eye? I never seen an Uchiha being able to "turn on" his sharingan one at a time and we all know crying blood every 5 seconds would eventually get to him.... so, whats up with that?

Almost Thursday again weee ^^

Because in first episode her love to Sasuke was funny a bit, but it became real pain to watch over and over her boring attitude

You know, in every anime main characters are somehow special :P As said in previous episode almost every Uchica member will eventually lose sight while using sharingan too much, but there is a way to counter this by obtaining eternal sharingan

In the manga Danzo didn't run. Madara appeared before him right after he was stabbed. Anime ruining his reputation. Dude owned.

I agree. Danzou wasn't afraid of dying, he just had more things he wanted to accomplish. I still think his methods were questionable if not plain evil, but he did it for the village.

Danzo running away was more about twisted Sasuke chasing him than anything else, I hardly think they even bothered thinking about Danzo when they (either the anime production staff or Kishimoto) opted for that outcome.

@Furine

I am aware of that, just wasn't expecting it to happen so soon (if it actually did go trough).

New question then... would this "new" Sasuke be willing to dig up his brother's body to snatch his eyes? I remember him specifically telling Madara no when he was told about the "ultimate" Uchiha eyes, but right now I am not so sure the answer would be the same. If he managed to deceive himself into killing (attempted at least.... but we will see about that) Karin I think he could pull off an argument that desecrating his body would actually be something Itachi would approve off.

I don't really expect Karin to die. "Karin, don't move!" implies that he just messed up Danzou's guts not hers.

Oh and Danzou's suicide was not only to bomb the bridge but also to prevent Shisui's Sharingan to get into Madara's hands.



In the end I find it sad that Danzou is already out of the game. As much as I found him to be the wrong leader for Konoha it could have become somewhat interesting to see how he'd rebuild the village.

That.

Also important to note that one can only do that with his own brother... like Madara did with his.

@wuzzle

"Karin, don't move!" implies that he just messed up Danzou's guts not hers.


Nice catch. That indeed might be the case.... for once Karin's glasses were thrown away when she felt to the ground but in the preview they were in her meaning either a gross continuity problem (not that far fetched actually considering Korean/Chinese in-betwen animation prowess) or that Sasuke actually put them back on.

Also the fact (already pointed) that he had a chidori going on while staring at Karin when Sakura appeared, meaning either he was going for the final blow (unlikely) or maybe trying to cauterize the wound (probably a stunt to create an emotional pitch were Sakura misinterprets his actions and we all can feel bad for him lulz).

God dammit, it's been a while since the last time I even bothered theorizing about Shippuuden... this goes to show how good the plot is picking up ;p

Action is very jumpy right now and we only know what Naruto, Sakura, Garaa and other Konoha youngsters are thinking, but unfortunately we can't be sure whats up in Sasuke's head.. I think he didnt care about Karin much, he might thought "If you wont move, you might have bigger chance to survive, good for you"

I have to wonder. What good will Itachi's eyes do? Didn't he go completely blind before he died? Shouldn't his eyes be useless?

OMG! One of the most emotional episodes in naruto! :'-( damn it! why is it only now that Danzou's past is revealed? He would get a huge props and respect from me :-((

Starting to hate sasuke now after this episode.. he's like a lunatic killer.. felt sorry for Karin and Danzou..

Several keypoint flashbacks.. like Shisui and 2nd Hokage, with Konaha councils; Homura and Koharu.. I really liked the part where they portrayed Saru and Danzou as being close friends.. which resembles much like naruto and sasuke during their genin years.. and also the little explaination of leaf and "root" :-)

Danzou at the end should be proud.. died in a real true shinobi fashion.. hope sasuke burns! >:-((

When Sasuke missed to chidori Danzo, and Danzou took Karin as hostage, Sasuke turned back.
At that time, in manga his right eye looks blind and after that also. Anime made the eyes full black. So to answer your question, yes blind to certain extent as seen in manga.

Finally He's dead. Danzo is no more. Now Naruto will become hokage. Or kakashi. Or maybey tsunade will finaly wake up.. Damn so many options.


YES. This is the exact reason why I didn't like Danzo. I wanted Kakashi to become Hokage, or at least have Tsunade wake up, but no, they had to choose Danzo.

I'm still trying to figure out if Danzo is an antagonist or a protagonist. I was pretty sure he was an antagonist 'til I saw his past. Now I'm confused. And I'm also confused as to whether hate his friggin' guts, or pity him. Though I did think that running away from Sasuke REALLY lowered his dignity. That got my pity. Though the reverse thingy was pretty awesome.



I have no hope for Sasuke anymore. I was still hoping, but a few episodes back, I stopped. There's no way on heaven, hell, or earth that that guy is going to stop his revenge chain reaction. T_T I want him to stop it! He's too cool to go off and start killing everybody in the world! But I guess there's no way he's going to stop... T_T Especially when he killed Karin. Main reason why I still had hope that he'd turn back to the good side was because of his compassion, the compassion that refused to let him kill his enemies. But then, SUDDEN CHANGE! Karin dies at his hand! I liked Karin. I hope Sakura can heal her....

Yeah... Kind of hard to hold a grudge against Danzo after seeing that little blurb of a flashback. Even I spent all these episodes counting down until his death, and then, when he was running stumbling away from Sasuke, I couldn't help but feel so bad for him. Then the flashback... :\ He was a great villain. Like they say, "The road/path to hell is paved with good intentions." Wasn't that at least in part true for Danzo?

Looks like there was more to Danzo than I thought, my opinion of him went up after hearing his story. I still dislike him, but not as much. Sasuke is becoming a lot more of an ass though, Karin had a lot of love for him, but as soon as she becomes a burden, he fucking kills her... That is something that will be very hard, if not impossible, to forgive. I may not have liked Karin's character, but she did not deserve to go out like that. :(
