Renewed Theory on Sai's Brother

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

okay maybe scrap my first idea about it being Kabuto (yet who still knows lol).

now i'm seriously considering the possibility that Sai's brother is Deidara, after taking a closer look at the new pages Sai drew on his book. they have the same hair, bangs, Sai thinks he's dead which is what most people think when in reality they just went to (the dark side) the Akatsuki (case in point: Sasori). and if you think about it, they're both artists. Deidara with his clay molding, Sai with his drawing...

and if this means anything else... perhaps Sai will live? :D
(because the duty of defeating fallen brother has become rightfully his?)

It's a possibilty... But didn't Deidara come from Iwa? He could've wandered over to Iwa/been lying... but... Hmmm... *trundles off to get the newest manga*

hmmm the art thing does make an interesting connection!
although isn't Deidaras hair bang on the other eye?

But I definatly suspect that Sai's brother is either in Akatsuki or Sound if still alive. Or maybe something totally new will be introduced to blow all our little crack theorys out of the water ^_^;

it's the part of your argument about both of them being artists that have me sold. Sasori died, yet Kishimoto let Deidara live, it must be because he has a plot point later.

Though, hee's not from Leaf...

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

not really from the manga but remember what happened to Ibiki's brother? he switched villages? also Kabuto, wasn't he from Leaf originally? maybe it's not that too hard to migrate to another village in this universe... no wait it is hard lol, that's why each village have each their own assassination squads. well, if Itachi, Sasori were able to evade them... and Kabuto and that Ibiki kid successfully more or less transferred villages, why not Deidara assuming he truly comes from Leaf? (maybe yet Sai was the one who came from the other village.) lol all speculation really.

if that is so, then sasuke and sai should really consider to make a new team: kill-our-evil-brothers-in-the-Akatsuki-team nr 1. yep. what a pais they'd make ^^

Lj-cut with clear spoiler warnings please.

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

sorry, i thought it was safe enough since it wasn't really a new chapter discussion. but then, i think this comm filters for the anime crowd?

To any of the KH2 fans: Doesn't this look like some of Namine's drawings? XD

[demonoflight.livejournal.com]

Namine's pics are a little more juvenile, but I can see where you're coming from.

[domlandbubbles.livejournal.com]

I said that as a joke a while back.

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

i think i remember something like that posted in my Kabuto crack theory.

[demonoflight.livejournal.com]

If that's the truth (how I hope), I'll worship Kishimoto-sensei.

[chibi-lothlen.livejournal.com]

Or maybe! Maybe his older brother is really Naruto? D: Or, or, Sasori! Or INO. Zomg, what about Kurenai?! D: I bet his older brother is Kurenai. Makes so much sense. Or Kakashi, even! Or Chouji! D: D: D:

...

Sorry.

I really don't think his brother is Deidara, of all people. The Akatsuki seem to have a trend of a zomg!terrible event in their pasts, and, seeing as Deidara would have to be from Konoha for your theory to work (when Kishimoto-sama stated he's from Iwagakure, and there's one Akatsuki member from each hidden village, so far)... well, it just doesn't fit. Nice theory, though!

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

yep, it really was the part about the art that had me going for this theory.
as for the rest, i could only try so much to rationalize it all out.

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

Revive? Deidara's still alive. *blink* (Unfortunately. T_T)

[icefalcon.livejournal.com]

Ino has the same hair.

Maybe Ino is a man.

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

i said it was her dad a few posts up.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Sai's brother is Keyser Soze...

[chibi-lothlen.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but it's totally Kurenai. Look at the evidence!

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

I still think his brother looks like Mizuki. XD

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

oh this too lol. i forgot about him when i was thinking of one other Naruto character whose name was thrown around before.

[domlandbubbles.livejournal.com]

That pic has his hair blond. I bet it's really pink. He's really Sakura's father.

[altealice.livejournal.com]

Well....if it really Deidara....

wouldnt Naruto recognise him? .__.

[altealice.livejournal.com]

if it really was*

Sorry about that. *headdesk*

[nayamashiimigot.livejournal.com]

Sai might live. Sai might not live.. He does have Orochimaru on him now.

I wonder, though, if he was sent after Sasuke, and his book contained those who posed a threat to Konoha--wouldn't Orochimaru have been in there too? So, hypothetically, if he had succeeded his mission to kill Sasuke, would it not be feasible for his next target to be Orochimaru? Was Sai sent to annihilate the rest of Oto?
-.-;;

Just curious, and running my mouth it seems...

[kitsukikun.livejournal.com]

dood... how many times to I have to tell you, Sai's brother is Obito... =) You can come up with the connection this time. Ah, crack is tasty!

Side note: Did we ever see a picture of Shisui? I thought it'd be weird if it was him. Course that would make Sai an Uchiha... =(

Did he ever actually say it was his brother, or just like nii-san, you know, like hinata calls neji, and Naruto calls... a lot of people. I haven't read the raws. *is lazy*

[queenoftea.livejournal.com]

While I'd LOVE to see more of Deidei-kuuuun, I really doubt he's Sai's brother. For one thing, Sai's bro has a Konoha headband and looks too old to be accepted fully into Iwa. For another, I doubt Deidara would have joined Akatsuki if he was really that close to Sai without some mention being made of it.

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

Okay this is totally crack, but doesn't Sai's "brother" look like Mizuki? XD I mean, look at that huge shuriken. SOOO MIZUKI!
*gets shot down* :(

Anyhow on a serious note, it may be Deidara. But then how did Deidara live? o_o;;; HRM.

I believe there's a a 99% chance Sai will die. His sudden change seems to signal he doesn't have much more time to be "redeemed". >.>; Or maybe it's my own paranoia.
