Naruto Shippuuden Episode 80

[Buffalobiian]

I think some of you manga readers just WANT to hate the anime.

I had no problems feeling empathy with characters this episode. I thought it was a great death scene.

I thought it was quite well done. In fact, better than the Third's. I never felt much when the old guy died though, so that doesn't say much.

I'm interested in Hidan's ritual still. We saw it dispelled after Asuma fell, but not dead. It's still hard to say whether it can be dispelled voluntarily, or only when your target is dead, or sure to die.
