Sasuke was never exactly perceptive or prone to questioning much of anything. He was always a tool for smarter people who barely had to try to manipulate him into doing whatever they wanted. He acted as Itachi's tool until Obito got hold of him, then later switched back to Itachi, and more recently the sage got in on the act too. Heck, I'd say that if Big O hadn't been half conscious from pain most of the time the whole body stealing thing would have gone off without a hitch. He could have kept the fact that he was switching bodies entirely secret if his need for it hadn't been so glaringly obvious.

pixaal posted:Series needs to end with everyone disappearing completely black page, not panel. A few panels opening to white as Sasuke opens his eyes he is in a padded cell with a man standing over him asking if he remembers who he is. Managa over. We cut to a young Sasuke holding a snowglobe. "I don't understand this autism thing, Hokage. Here's my son. I talk to him. I don't even know if he can hear me, because he sits there, all day long, in his own world, staring at that toy. What's he thinking about?"

Well we learned Sasuke's new sharingan ability I guess. Oddly I feel like I've seen that ability in a video game before somewhere, though I can't place which one. I want to say Portal or Transistor, but that can't be right. And yep, just a Naruto clone, so she fell for the oldest ninja trick.

Sakura: "I'm going to do just as well as Naruto!" *gives all of her chakra so someone else can do things* "Oh no, the acid is making it so I have to take my clothes off" "And now I'm out of chakra and totally useless again and we only succeeded based on someone elses bullshit in the end and not my own chakra contributing efforts."

So Sasuke's super power is half an ability that even Sakura could do back in the Chunin Exam arc? I guess it's supposed to be impressive he did it with a tore up jacket instead of a log.

This was bad and Kishi should feel bad. Also, did that redux of the previous chapter tell us anything we didn't already know? I don't think so.

I still have no idea what's going on. Can someone explain? The last chapter (684) shows Obito and Kakashi popping out of Kamui and Obito's talking to Sakura for some reason. Then Sakura's face shows up in the next panel. Kakashi is then left by himself along with some footprints and Obito is gone. Naruto's clone dies and then in this chapter it shows Naruto, Sakura, and Obito popping out of Kamui.

You know how stories like to have something happen, then flashback and examine what happened in more detail? That was basically this entire chapter.

I never thought a portal to a dimension full of acid could be made such a boring and easily resolved problem. So, congrats, Kishi. I guess.

I like how Sasuke and Naruto are two sides of the same coin after the power up: Naruto: Brings people back to life 6 black orbs that are outside the elemental spectrum Can fly Has the tailed beasts Can sense shadow clones Sasuke can see shadow clones Can teleport short distances...sometimes Half of Dracula posted:It's like it was supposed to make us realize Sakura and Obito were hidden, and that Naruto was a clone, except because everything is loving indecipherable it was just the same panels again because that wasn't "obvious" last chapter? I mean as obvious as the messy art can be.

He just used Amaterasu against Kaguya so he still has his Sharingan abilities. They're obviously not as OP as his Super Rinnegan so he won't use them when it really matters.

Sharingan: Instantly comatize whoever looks into your eyes, summon undying flames of hell, summon a demon of ultimate offense+defense, rewrite reality, trap people in infinite groundhog-day loops, travel to alternate dimensions, and now teleportation. Rinnegan: Create six dudes of varying power, create black chakra rods of taking control of things, rip apart the earth to create a moon using a high-gravity sphere, resurrect people based on arbitrary qualifiers, LIMBO (create 4 invisible copies of yourself), trap the entire world in an infinite dream, summon roots of the Tree of Life accross the entire world to trap enslave and consume people.
