About the last episode of Chikara looking really rushed and having a bunch of holes: according to the last post on the
Pierrot blog, a part of it was cut to fit the TV format. The missing parts will apparently be present on the DVD release.
It was obvious enough that something was missing from the episode, but it's nice to have confirmation. This also seems to confirm the theory that Chikara was going to be last year's movie before the studio had the chance to get Kishimoto involved.
