And I had such high hopes for this plot twist when Madara said he'd tell us the OMG TRUTH about him. I could have forgiven the "blah blah he did it to protect you" if there had been... some kind of twisted, illogical madman thinking behind it but. This is just. Sadly shounen D:
HE'S GIVING THE IDIOTIC ITACHI-FANGIRLS WHO INSISTED HE'S "GOOD DEEP DOWN" RIGHT adhaskjdlk ;__;
I was just going along for the ride. I rarely try to anticipate what's going to happen next. More fun that way 8D
And even if he did, I can still see it being some weird illogical madman reason. Seriuosly. Putting your brother through Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi? That's twisted...
I KNOW. DAMNIT I WANTED HIM TO BE SO DAMN EVIL. NOW I HAVE TO RETHINK HIM AGAIN. *ajskfdljaklfa* Puts a twist on my plots though 8D;
I normally don't but since Itachi is so very dear to me (always has been ♥)... I'm kind of very interested in things that may change the way I interpret his characterization.
*pets my muse* Itachi is very dear to me as well, which is doubly why I try not to second guess and just take things at face-value. It makes it a lot easier to play him when you know his motivations, but if you can't know that [damn mangaka] then taking everything up front is best. Though I do think of why he did it in order to play him. XD I've said some cruuueeel things with Itachi's tongue. Ohohoho.
*clings desperately*
It makes me go... OH DAMNIT MY FRIEND WAS RIGHT. *glad I didn't bet money on it*
I'm going to do the flailing if Kishi doesn't come up with a good reason for that kind of mission. I can't quite see Itachi doing it without agreeing with its purpose.
I like the fact we're LEARNING shit about the past and getting more background on how all that random shit happened BUT-
Regardless of if you think he's redeemable or not, the mangaka is TRYING to redeem Itachi, which annoys the hell out of me because there's no way in hell putting your brother through tsukiyomi and using amaterasu on him is redeemable. Trying to make him stronger or really trying to kill him and upon failing you give him your powers is really retarded. ⌐_⌐
Very true, very true. Buuuuut then maybe he's not? I mean, I dunno... maybe I just assume that things are being left up to interpretation of the reader.
I also kind of got the idea that Kishimoto's trying to paint Itachi as a very big cog- but a cog nonetheless- in an already corrupt machine. Which pretty much proves your point. Unless Itachi really did have a vendetta against his family AND Konoha and is using Sasuke to finish that vendetta, in which case, he's still a majorly big bag of douche.
At this point, we can only assume. We have no idea the story Madara is spouting... *grumbles*
Yes. To see that Itachi caused such a cascade of effects due to actions that weren't caused by his own thoughts or Madara's [though we have to wait until the end of the flashback to see if that's the case] is amusing in a way. No matter how it happened, I think he was still manipulated in some way.
And don't get me wrong... I like Itachi as a douchebag. XD I want him to stay that way, too. >_>
One thing I do like: Sasuke appearing all beat up and traumatized instead of shaking the effects off immediately. At least there's some payout for the massive battle that I stopped reading in the middle of.
But it was starting to drag. And really, I wanted Sasuke to die. =_=; I'm horrible that way. I figured Itachi was going to die looooong ago. Most of my favorite characters meet untimely/brutal/violent deaths canonly anyway~
Well, that was where the comic was up to at the time....
XD! *goes to look at your icons*
Well that's what you get for loving evil characters best~ Ahahaha, Sasuke's so boring with his I'm-the-perfect-Uchiha act. I'd rather have him shape up, but lacking that, bleh.
Happens to me all the time. Actually, I think I like it better this way; I can read the intervening matter in a big chunk and not forget what happened from week to week.... it's only inconvenient when something like THIS happens. *glares at Tobi*
Ahaha, poor Gai-sensei~ Stuck in the background once again...
