mildmaythecatOkay. I am very cautiously excited for the next chapter.
Because this one was actually kinda awesome.
So, yeah, Naruto very ineffectually headbutts the Big Bad (which I'm just gonna use as Tobi's moniker until we know better, because obviously this is all very confusing namewise). But remember when we were all kind of excited because aforementioned BB was carting all the dead jinchuriki around and it looked like the inevitable fight would be pretty cool?
Well, here we are, and it's pretty cool. Even though Utakata's "attack" reminds me a little too much of those bubblegum-looking attacks the In-Training Digimon used in the first episode ("Bubble Boom"? Really?). It was nice seeing Yugito again too, kicking butt and taking names once more even if it's, yanno, for the sake of the wrong side. Huzzah for GMS!Naruto actually having a hard time and delivering Speech no Jutsu again--he almost seems like his old self. Crossing my fingers for some more of that!
"I'm no one. I don't want to be anyone. All I care about is completing the Moon's Eye Plan."
^Ooh, I liked that for some inexplicable reason. It's the first time I've actually been interested in this guy as a villain in a long time (as in, before he announced his plan to take over the world using the moon, 'cause...yeah).
Of course, the Wild Mass Guessing over his identity shall continue. I dunno, guys, I'm just not buying that he's actually "another Madara". Sure, he didn't react well to Kabutomaru taking Madara's body out of the box, but I read that as him being pissed that his cover was blown. Whoever this guy is, it's looking more like he used the Uchiha Madara name to get credibility, spread fear, yadda yadda and start the war, and now that it's going he doesn't care anymore. But that's just my opinion. *shrugs*
So...thoughts? Theories, especially those concerning Big Bad/Tobi/Other Madara/etc.'s true identity? I'm really curious as to what y'all think about that...
OH. Almost forgot. As far as we know Itachi went off to stop Kabutomaru, right? So...where the heck is he?
OH. One other thing. As of right now, Naruto is exactly 500 chapters ahead of Kuroshitsuji. That's...weird. xD

Hmm, maybe I just don't remember, but: where exactly is Kabutomaru? Depending on where he is, it might take Itachi some time to get there - though don't get me wrong, I too strongly he'd actually show up there and kick his ass to hell and back ;)
Oh wow, I would not have noticed the thing about Naruto and Kuroshitsuji being that far apart! O___O Thanks for pointing that out! :)
[Userpic comment: LOLOLOL! I wish I could share that attitude, but alas, college hates me. Then again, the workload does not seem as bad as it looked like a mere two or three days ago :D I'm preparing a counseling session with my Mom (ssssh, don't tell anyone that that is technically against the rules ;p) about going to Finland and Sweden in 2013 for a summer trip. Yay for actually having fun while doing some research! ^__^]

Date: 2011-11-27 08:01 pm (UTC)I love your AU crackfics, BTW. I've been meaning to review The Undiscovered Country and Staying Informed but haven't got around to it yet.
As to the most recent Naruto chapter, I am so confused about Tobi now! I tend to lean towards the idea of him being connected to Madara somehow, just because it would seem really odd for Kishi to have him be someone completely different at this late stage in the game. Plus, what he said about the world being "worthless" in this chapter really meshes well with Madara's earlier statement that "There's no point in trying to change the world anymore, it would be better off sleeping in Mugen Tsukiyomi."
What I want to know is, why wasn't Tobi able to phase through Naruto in his new super-mode? And WTF is his mask made out of, that it didn't break from a direct collision with Naruto's skull?

Yeah, I'm also kind of hoping it's someone we already know--like, some relation to the founders or something. Like Izuna. It would kinda feel like a cop-out if Kishimoto decided to make this guy Madara after all this, IMHO. ^^'
I assumed it was because he didn't see it coming? LOL, I have no idea what that mask's made of. xD
