III. Big important animuuuu news! First episode of D.Gray-man is out subbed! The quality is kind of dubious, but eh, I'll probably be able to guess at what's going on, at least.

Eliminated: Kiba, Hinata, Ino (;_; even though I wound up voting against her. I should have made it Sakura vs. Temari and Ino vs. Hinata...although that would have sucked too), Neji, Chouji, Asuma, Kankurou, Kabuto, Anko (by two points), Shizune, Tonton, Danzou, Zetsu, Kin, Sasori (by two votes), Sakon/Ukon (;_;), Sai, Tobi, Yuugao, Hiashi, Hayate, Itachi, Kidoumaru, Hidan, Chiyo (by two votes), Kakuzu, Iruka (by one vote), Fugaku, and Yoshino.
Orochimaru and Zabuza tied, so they both move on.
Shino gets a by this round because he pwned Zetsu with 27 points.
