Naruto 281
Oct. 20th, 2005 01:14 pmSo the raw's out. I got it here. But here's a direct download uploaded by Shicibi_Kabuto, here.
Here are the translations.
My spoilery thoughts:
Holy crap, Kishimoto has a way of creating pretty characters, doesn't he? Um, should I just start my Sai fangirling now or should I wait until he actually does something? Nonetheless, there will be fangirling. Who the hell is he though and what can he possibly do in Team Kakashi? And did anyone else get Soujiro (from Rurouni Kenshin) vibes while looking at him?
Gai giving Kakashi a piggy back? Lee trying to do the same for Neji? That was an 'lol' moment. I wonder how many shounen ai fans are gonna love those scenes, though? :P I especially love the look on Kakashi face on page 15 - and Deidara's face on pg 17!
Oh and one last note: "The Road to Sasuke"? Looks like we're finally getting somewhere :)

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Consider how many times they teased us with "The Death of Gaara". :/

Date: 2005-10-20 05:47 pm (UTC)Deidei's all "I fought Gaara, lost both arms, had the hell beat out of me, and nearly got sucked into a black hole, and now I have to deal with THIS clown? Is Deidara gonna have to choke a bitch with his legs?"

Date: 2005-10-21 01:48 am (UTC)Consider that Deidara doesn't specialize in close-up fighting, he has no arms, and that a guy that wants to get into Akatsuki is probably no pushover...and he STILL took Tobi down before he could do a damn thing.

Date: 2005-10-20 06:51 pm (UTC)Then again, Soujiro from Kenshin was a bishounen too, so it's still possible that Sai's a guy. Damn you Kishi and your androgynous characters >:(

(Soujiro, Seishirou, that one guy from Bleach...)

Date: 2005-10-20 07:27 pm (UTC)I guess we'll find out for sure when we finally get a chest shot. XD At least we'll be able to easily tell with this one if there's cleavage, unlike the previous dilemma with Deidara. >.>;

Date: 2005-10-21 12:51 am (UTC)If you judge the gender from any other evidence (midriff, eyelashes, just looks plain GIRLY) than that, it will be kind of iffy. ESPECIALLY in Naruto.
Haku, Yashamaru, Deidara, and even KIMIMARO, anyone? XDno subject

Gaara looked HOT. Never thought I'd say that. :P

Naruto&Gaara was just too cute. :3

Date: 2005-10-20 07:23 pm (UTC)I think Sai is a guy. Very Haku-like, but a guy. He's got the dark hair and eyes like Sasuke, so I bet he's going to be sort of a replacement for him...which would make more sense if he was a guy. But, since Haku and Deidara turned out to be guys, Kishimoto might have decided to throw us all off by making Sai a girl lol

Date: 2005-10-20 07:26 pm (UTC)And much love for Gai-sensei!
I am quite ready to fangirl over Sai, whether Sai is a female or a male. Muahahaha. :D
Thanks for sharing all that with us.

Date: 2005-10-20 07:28 pm (UTC)Aw, Gaara looks so young without his gourd! And we still don't really know what's up with his...possesion status. Can he get a good night's sleep, now?
...Was...Was Deidara strangling that guy with his legs? Un. Yeah. Okay. He's cool.
no subject
Date: 2005-10-20 08:53 pm (UTC)I'm still debating on whether or not Sai is a girl or guy. His clothes are kinda... girly as is his figure. But I spot no boobs. Sai's face is kinda girly all around.
So Sai is... the best? What about Neji?
?
