Naruto 127-130 - I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

[timepiececlock]

Although my poll results suggested I should watch Last Exile, I finally finished downloading the Naruto movie and watched that, so it left me in a Naruto mood, and I'm catching up.

Just finished 127-128.

Sasuke, you little shithead. Usings that stupid wire & flame thing against my babyninja?! You little shithead.

::sigh:: I suppose next episode is gonna be all about chibiSasuke angst, isn't it? Maybe I'll skip it.

I am digging the music being used for this whole confrontation, though. And the animation is pretty good too.

Hheee. And the "next episode" clip was kind of cute.


EDIT#1: One more thought, halfway into #130. I need a good pre-Akatsuki!Itachi icon that says "Itachy's life philosophy: self improvement through patricide."

EDIT#2: Also, Sasuke's lucky he looks like his mom. Cause Itachi and PapaUchiha aren't that shiny to look at.


EDIT#3: You know, hearing that Itachi graduated at age 7, could use the sharingan at age 8, became a chuunin at age 10, and an ANBU at 12...doesn't really seem right, if he'd only been an ANBU for a little while before things started to go downhill fast. At least not in terms of how they animated it. He looks about 15-16 in these flashbacks, maybe even 17.

And, you know, chuunin with the sharingan at 10 is cool, but it's not as cool as chuunin at 6 without a sharingan.

Yeah... Kakashi rocks. I can't wait till the next manga chapter comes out so Kakashi can rip him a big one.

EDIT#4: Someone should sit Sasuke down and tell him how disappointed his dad would be in his recent life-changing decisions.

As they say in Midworld, Sasuke has forgotten the face of his father.

Mostly, it's in relation to one character and how perfect and immaculate his "master plan" is.

Heh. That made me think of Nakago from Fushigi Yuugi. He didn't irritate me at all-- I respected/hated his character much the way I respected/hated Envy on FMA's character-- but he did have very immaculate, flawless plans. Only it was scary instead of annoying because even when his plans went wrong he could adapt so easily and ruthlessly and he made no mistakes. He just didn't make them. Everything that did go wrong always happened because of outside influences that couldn't possibly have been accounted for, not because of any flaws in his plans.

This goes far, far beyond anything Nakago did in FY. This guy's plan is so well done, he had not only his own moves planned out, but the moves of about 10 other characters that he didn't know from Adam. "Oh, I did this because I knew you couldn't go here and you'd have to go there. Then, I knew so and so would do this ..." That kind of stuff. It feels way too clean and precise, even for the Captain of a Division.

oohh, I see the "I'm so clever I'm practically omnicient" villain. I hate it when characters go past believability like that.

That'd be it. It was bad enough when he was just an asshat, now he's transcended shinigami to become a god!
