I agree, easier to read than listen to and yeah, all about manipulation. I'll admit to crying, but over Kenren and Goujun, that scene kind of got to me, not Konzen and Goku. But I freaking cry over commercials so it doesn't really mean much if you ask me. And I really thought the Tenpou dragging scene went on waaaay too long.

But Kanzeon was awesome.
