Actually....believe it or not, those stupid looking curse seal rejects that got crystallized were taken from another place in the manga. Although their role was really insignificant in both so i'm sure it didn't matter much.

But yeah, as I said way back when Kimimaru appeared...for every CS guy introduced, that means 10 people that had been bitten by Orochimaru (if the 10% survival rate is true). The guy sure was busy it seems.
