@Ravenlot I don't think Danzo was an anti-hero. He fits the bill of a Lawful Evil villain. Also, yeah I guess Madara's philosphy was also realistic but it also didn't differ from Danzo's. Both wanted to set a dictatorship - just that Madara had a more definitive, genjutsu-laced approach while Danzo wanted to establish that by using armies and the Nine Tails.

@Thekillman, you can draw a few parallels but I wouldn't go that far. Nagato believes that once everyone sees the horrors of a nuclear apocalypse, people will just accept peace. What it would actually lead is a Cold War. You can hardly call that true peace. Same thing can be said about Danzo's philosphy, but at least he'a not ashamed to call it what it is - a forced, far from ideal, peace with a dictatorship as its staple. He could have been at best Tito, at worst Hitler.
