Danzo Shimura

Danzo Shimura confronts his reckoning as Sasuke presses the duel to its end. The episode is the war hawk's downfall — the man who ordered the Uchiha massacre, who built Root on sacrifice, who stole a Hokage's seat and a clan's eyes, finally cornered by the survivor of his greatest crime. Danzo's Izanagi runs out of eyes; his contingencies fail. It's the canon arc's grim catharsis, the architect of so much of the Uchiha tragedy meeting his end, the conspiracy's shadow finally dragged into the light by the boy it created.
