Ok, am I like the only person who's not impressed by the return of You-know-who?

I mean, maybe I was expecting too much, but the guy looks exactly the same! His face may be a little longer, and his clothes have definetely gone from bad to worse but I thought it would be something big. Like, I dunno, Naruto punching him in the face saying something like "Where have you been all this time you bastard! Do you realize how hard we were looking for you all this time!?" Again, it's probably just me. Don't get me wrong, I think Sasuke is a great character, he's just obviously not my fav :)

Oh, and one more thing, what's up with his shoes?

It'll totally be in the next chapter, or somewhere down the line. Kishimoto knows his own characters quite well, I'd imagine.

Also, would you mind cutting the line about Sasuke as well? Judging on the other posts, I think we're still calling that a spoiler (despite it being SO obvious, I know XD).

Were you expecting him to transform from a 13(?) year old angst-'ho to a studly Itachi-killing machine in just 2-and-a-half years?

...and besides, this was just his appearance introduction. I'm sure there's gonna be plenty on Naruto-punchings and flashbacks and whatnot next issue.

I feel exactly the same way as you! I am glad to see the face-swallowing collar is FINALLY gone. However, the open-chested shirt is not my style. I mean, what's with Kishimoto making guy outfits open?? *cough*SAI*cough* And of course there is that Orochimaru-minion rope, which he ties a different way as if to say, "I'm not really his minion!!" But Sasuke, you are not fooling anyone. You are a minion, with a terrible sense of fashion.

Ahem. Anyways, I expected the encounted to be less staring and more talking, perhaps Naruto punching him as you said.

Pah. Kishimoto is gonna have Naruto cry and be all "why did you leeeeave?" and he'll ruin the good changes he's given Sakura and have her do the same and Sai'll probably just go with that too.

I don't know why anyone expected him to look any different... he looked more mature than the others back when they were 12. If he looked any older, he'd look older than a teenager...

shoes? I think he's wearing fat thong-type flipflops, with ankle covers.

mm.. right.

*stabs sasuke for being an ugly mothafucka*

You know what, I agree with you. The first thing that came to my head when I saw the scans were, "He looks exactly the same!" The clothes aren't that great either, they just make him look gayer than he did just before the timejump. xD

After ALL the silhouettes/shadows I guess my expectations were raised as well. He does look the same. The new outfit's better than the old, but I hate the rope. It says Oro-minion all over it. ._.;

The sheer number of silhouettes made me believe for a time that Sasuke had turned into a black mass of power duckbutt.

I'm telling you, ass bows are mandatory for anyone who hangs around Orochimaru for longer then a day. Anko's just lucky hers could be surgically removed.

he blew up the building just for being woken up. Personnaly it seems that this chapter was only made to waste time, or space. It's that shocking opening OMG! they finnaly see eachother we finnaly get to see Sasuke!

Naruto isn't likely to do the punch things, he can't really be mad at sasuke for going where he wanted to go. It was Sasuke's choice, and their trying to force him to go back. I see it being more likely that Sasuke and Naruto fight probably after sasuke beat's sakura up and brushes sai off to the side. Or Sai might just die period. After all Sai is somewhat of an obito (but not as cool) being a side story line type person.

So late and not relevant to the entry but Did I just hear someone say going to Orochimaru was Sasuke's own choice and Naruto doesn't exactly have the right to punch him for it? Please be my friend forever. Literally no one else I've come across in this fandom seems to realise that, ultimately, it is his own choice, considering most of the people I've met at some point or the other whine about their friends/family not respecting their choices/life decisions. Mmm.

Sure, i haven't been on livejournal in forever and it was by sheer happen stance that i ended up on my old email to see this reply. And i'm hardly at the level of fandom i once was... BUUUUUT FRIENDSHIP FOREVER? HOW CAN I SAY NO?

Although i probably should say no to caps in the future. i see this now.

Exactly, how could anyone say no?

I'm not too impressed, either, but then again, he's not one of my favorites. My favorite part was his outfit.....

I had my squee today, and scarily enough, it was from the fillers. <.< The Chibi Oro in the previews was enough for me....

I think the shoes are a cheap rip-off of Envy's, (http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/hagaren/chara/envy01.jpg) but that's just me.

out of curiousity.. why did you use the words " cheap rip-off " ?

Date: 2006-05-12 09:09 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] goodbye--kitty.livejournal.com
just because it sounds cooler than "they look like envy's shoes." And since Envy came first, the phrase fits.

p.s. if you're trying to start a fight, ill have nothing of it. a fandom is no place to argue over such trivialities.

his shoes were the only thing i liked about his outfit.

here's a hint. all of us naruto fan's who aren't happy about sasuke's return, we stay quiet because the masses around manga fanbases are usually elitist fucks who are out to make themself feel bigger by belittling people who don't agree with the majority. Sasuke's back, who cares. I don't, but last time i made a post about the plethora of bad fanart we'd see round this community when sasuke came back i got totally slammed about it. i ask you now to look around and play spot-the-bad-fanart. you'll find plenty. annnnnd soon enough someone'll see this and start laying into me again, because apparently this is "trolling" :)

i love the internet. everyones out to make themself feel bigger than another person :)
