Woo.

Sorry if this has been posted already and all that jazz.

Sasuke's sword, Kusanagi, has many interesting implications in mythology, indeed. See how many.

Remember that Amaterasu is the sun goddess that one of Itachi's moves is named after.

Its appearance typically signals the nearing of an end of the storyline

...:O

[andrew-jp.livejournal.com]

Remember that it first showed up way back during the Orochimaru/Sandaime fight, though.

[doggiedynasty.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the end of a climatic battle, and the dawn of a new beginning

(3rds death and the rising of the 5th)

[sundialing.livejournal.com]

Maybe Sasuke's return to Konoha..?

[doggiedynasty.livejournal.com]

Maybe...

but maybe he'll die.

hehe I'm surprised this hasn't come up earlier.

[rinku-64.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

[andrew-jp.livejournal.com]

Puts a whoe new spin on the Orochimaru=Eight-tailed serpent bijuu/Yamata-no-Orochi, doesn't it? I think that theory is crap, but still.

Please edit your post to indicate somewhere outside the cut that it has spoilers for chapter 307+, or it will have to be deleted. Thanks!

[rinku-64.livejournal.com]

Done.

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

DONT DO IT! change sasuke's sword to orochimaru's, he can't stop you then mwahaha.. of course unless he really want's to for some odd reason then i guess they can.

ZOMG INDIRECT KANNAZUKI NO MIKO RELATION.

(SASUKE X KUSANAGI FOR THE WIN!)

(I am so not freaking out in a rabid fangirl-ish manner)

[toad-senin.livejournal.com]

interesting insight thanks for posting this.

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

Hm. It says that it's rarely used for actual combat. Can we say "bluff", anyone?

[queenoftea.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Me! Me! I can!

But yeah, I agree. Big-ass swords look cool, but actually using them? Aaawk-waaard. Maybe Sasuke's compensating for something?

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

.....*snort* Yeah, using that here would be very awkward indeed. [/double meaning] And with the angle he was trying to do it, he'd probably just wind up stabbing HIMSELF. XDDDDDD

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

....and, hey. Didn't Itachi also use a sword?

[rinku-64.livejournal.com]

Well, he used a short sword when in ANBU. That was all.

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

He did use it to kill his parents, though. Just saying, it might be a parallel.
