I just hope that Hachiken meets a decision at long last when Butadon is killed (or saved). It has been a running theme ever since the anus-eggs, but now itīs becoming annoying, imo at least. No more jumping between the ropes, decide whatīs it gotta be. I agree with Buffīs 3 options, and hope itīll be #2. Would make the most sense and keep our main character likeable, yet reasonable.

also: yes, or simpler put; Mikage is this animeīs Sasuke. :/
