Naruto manga 387

Firstly:

I've discovered that part of my loss of enjoyment to the manga can be blamed on the spoilers. I don't read the spoiler translations anyway because without a picture they're just too easy to misunderstand. But the spoiler pictures are almost always THE most pivotal thing to happen in the whole chapter. So I get to see them with no buildup of emotional connection, and I'm all "oh, that will be shiny to see in context" except when the context arrives, there's no surprise, no shock, no emotional response -- I already know what happens and so my reaction is more like "ho hum" than "omg!"

So yeah. No more spoilers for me, because they really do spoil it.

now let's see how long I manage to hold my infernal curiosity on a leash.

-I wonder how many ways of reformulating "I see you dead in the near future because I will kill you" in varied and original ways Sasuke will find. Though I'm glad to say he's not afraid of repeating himself, either. :3

Itachi seems to be having fun with his own "oh yeah? prove it, bitch" variations.

-Uchihacest X3333 hohoho. Bare hand on bare wrist contact. WALLING. Wanting a part of his little brother in his own body, "my light"~

"FORGIVE ME, SASUKE."
[livejournal.com profile] proanon, did you see the japanese version? Are there degrees of "forgive me" like there are degrees of "I love you" and is it the same "forgive me" he said back when he was poking foreheads and refusing to train his brother? nnnngh. X3

-DEMON WINDMILL SHURIKEN YEEEHA.

-Oh, Sasuke, you can put as many sexy new seals on your body as you wish, especially when you then go on to activate them with such an elegant girly way. *__*

-snake snake it's a snake

-Walling. did I mention the walling already? KICK AND THEN WALLING. THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. *__*

-I'm actually rather okay with Sasuke becoming a mini Kakashi. One because it would make Kakashi relevant again (wtf anything he's done so far could have been done by Convenient Godmode Yamato, and probably better too) and he could teach the kid how to cope (though he never had to cope without one eye, just with a new, weirder, one) -- or maybe Kakashi could give Sasuke his own eye -- maybe Sasuke would get the mangekyou then, since Kakashi grew it somehow already XD It would bring Sasuke back in Team Seven's sphere of influence and I'm more than fine with it. It could also bring Sasuke to need Sakura to heal him! He's got no mednins on his team.

Or maybe he manages to dodge and he's just scratched up. We haven't seen it yet after all. Srsly who the fuck stays still when someone's attempting to pluck out your eyes. D;



I'm not sure I like the way Kishi's art is evolving very much -- things aren't as pretty, wrists and waists are thicker, heads smaller, it's lost a lot of the originality and raw strength of its beginning. It's still nice, though, just... not as prettiful. Oh well, i'm not reading it just for the art. >.>


I really need a better Uchihacest icon. >(

*jealous* ;____;

Is the power of "forgetting all about Naruto until Asuka Kureru does an analysis of the latest chapter, at which point you go 'oh shit!' and hurry off to read it".

Is a long-named power, but useful if you don't want to look at spoilers.

...oh wait! You can't really use that, can you? >w>;
