This is one of those episodes, which has me perplexed. Should I list every edited line and/or scene? Or should I just should I just write a brief explanation of what’s going on in the scene that was edited out. Like in the fight between Kurama and Gama. So much was edited out I was torn on what to do.
The edited material showed (not just told you) the depth of Gama’s character, and how far he was willing to go to gain victory for his sect. Maybe not by his hand, but definitely by someone after him. The edit picks up after all this, and Kurama’s “You where correct, after all. It’s wholly your fault that you die in vain. I cannot pity you.” just seems out of place. Especially when the line that Gama claims to have killed himself was edited out.
Oh well, I guess, this is just one of those edits that takes a good deal of the characterization out with it.
