what about the people who thought he couldve been orochimaru?
and believe it or not, i know people who arent actually sure that the guy with the sharingan is itachi....

the anime people simply dont want to talk about characters they've never even seen before, so no point in bringing it into the 80 discussion thread
i remember back when mods would warn people for discussing manga stuff that even related to past episodes of naruto (although i think THAT was a little overboard)
