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.


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.

You can see him running away a few pages back.

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.

So far he's going by logic, but when he will go on full rampage he will be able to do it. Watching how he is progressing with vengeance and hate stuff its not far from it.

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.

Why should he dig him up? He already received Itachi's powers.

@Furine

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?

Though I dunno what to feel.

And the flashbacks weren't as irritating as I thought they'll be. :D

The next episode seems interesting.

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! >:-((

Anyone else think Sasuke went blind on his right eye?

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....

After seeing Danzo's past, everyone has a change of heart, I see...

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. :(

Yay, Danzo is dead. I'm amazed how the end of the episode tries to bring a good light on him. He was an asshole until the end.

If Karin really dies there, then I'm gonna be so damn fucking angry at Sasuke like never before. I didn't have that much of a problem with him yet, but that's gonna change for sure if she dies by his hand!

Too bad Karin probably won't stay dead.

I always had a bit of respect for Danzo, but he is still the enemy and he got what he deserved. He has no problem killing so many members of his village to keep the village safe, completely forgetting that those people ARE the village. Idiot.

Yeah, in this episode we really get to see how much Danzou cared for Konoha... Despite his unscrupulous and shadowy methods, all he wanted was to protect Konoha... Yeah, yeah, his ideals were really stupid sometimes and somewhat unnecessary but it was for a good cause... Still, his death was sad...

Well, Danzou is a bastard, but yeah, he just really wants to protect Konoha. I wish I was there to tell him: It's not about protecting, it's about how you are protecting it :D
Wait, don't tell me that hot babe in Danzou's flashback is the old lady geezer council advisor now!!
I kinda felt sympathetic towards Danzou at the end with that flashback of him playing with Sarutobi. He technically just committed suicide.

Is danzou really that weak? Why he let sasuke killed him so many times that he is forced to use izanagi and sacrificing many uchiha's eyes? He can just dodge it like the other great shinobi by using kawarimi no jutsu, kage bunshin etc. However maybe to dodge the susano it might be hard for him so he used izanagi.

Machiavellian characters such as Danzou are often underappreciated. Despite his methods, Danzou lived and died in earnest service to Konoha. What started out as the wish to be an honorable ninja was distorted in his competition with Hiruzen. While it doesn't justify many of the atrocities he engaged in, there's no denying that Danzou acting as the shadow - the root - was another necessary side of Konoha in the ninja world.

I'm shocked Danzo's character has already come to an end, but I have to admit, he was a great antagonist. Interesting character. The show really had me worried that he was going to take over the village. Such a weak resolve to want to be better than a friend versus focusing on bettering yourself. He was never fit to be hokage. Still, the only respect I give him is for his commitment to the Leaf.

I'd love to see Kakashi become hokage, forever wondering when it's gonna be Naruto's turn.

I was flabbergasted to see Sasuke sacrifice Karin like that, but that's what happens when you follow an emo fuckboy around. I fucking laughed so hard out of shock. Not that I ever hated Karin as much as other people, but I didn't love her either. Sasuke has no fucking chill hahahaha FUCK
