it's a strong possibility that he actually did do it, but i wouldn't rule it out that he didn't. after all, what he showed sasuke was simply an illusion so there is no definitive answer. plus, you know how the creator likes his twists in the plotlines.
i would agree that not directly showing itachi kill anyone could lead to possibilities that he didnt actually do it......and its always good to analyze minor details like that, because they can be taken advantage of in the future.....but the way i see it, those details were probably omitted because the mangekyou sharingan in itself unfolds that part of the story. It would be redundant for the animators to show itachi kill his parents and then show him kill his parents AGAIN to sasuke in the mangekyou
I think you guys are just thinking too fucking much.
He killed them to test his strength, that's all you can believe for now.
Well when i FIRST read the manga, i thought Sasuke came in right when Itachi slashed his parents and Itachi just used the mange to have Sasuke relive that time again for 3 days. Kishimoto could have just done that. Or he could have Itachi killed his parents right when Sasuke walked in and then have itachi use mange to show sasuke the massacre of his clan...

The animators have a thing for redunancy, flashbacks, that sort of thing.
Recalls the several-episode-long flashback trend in the 70's.
well, THOSE flashbacks are of stuff we havent seen before......
as for the stuff we have, they usually dont show it in the same episode that it first appears in, unless its to indicate that a person is thinking about it
i'm really sorry to say this but... that's sooo stupid. protection? what protection? itachi leaves the village for 5 years only to return and kick people's asses... where does his 'protection' come in? and the thing with sasuke seeking itachi... my response to #1 and 2: WHY DON'T SASUKE AND ITACHI TRAIN TOGETHER SO THEY CAN GO AFTER THE REAL KILLER?Quote:

This will allow Itachi to have some sort of protection over Sasuke because if Sasuke seeks Itachi, he will either:1. Be stronger than Itachi and Itachi won't have to worry about the someone else killing Sasuke for the sharingan or 2. Be weaker than Itachi - and Itachi will not kill him, but instead motivate Sasuke to become stronger. And if Itachi didn't tell the entire town that he killed the clan, then Sasuke will obviously find out and go after the "real killer".
omg, i can't believe you guys are thinking so deeply into this. unbelievable.
Without reading too much into it, I think you have to admit that there is definitely some motivation that Itachi wants to give Sasuke in order for him to become strong, or else he would of just killed him
Basically, there is a reason he kept Sasuke alive, and its an important one
Can Jiraya be any cooler? I don't think that is possible, he has it the highest summit of coolness, cause hes the king.

It's better to give up and let them realize how wrong they are once that's revealed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Pay attention to the dialogue between Sasuke and Itachi. That is enough to hit you in the head that Itachi did in fact kill everyone. Very likely Itachi used the Mangekyou Sharington to put fear into Sasuke and have him watch the slaying of everyone by the hands of Itachi which Sasuke missed because he came home late. With this Itachi is able to generate more hate from Sasuke. It is not some stupid diversion to lead people into thinking that Itachi is innocent or some other twist.
Yeah, Itachi should go after the real killer, just like OJ is doing.Quote:

I guess i'm late.. Hahaha.. anyways,pretty nice episode. For some reason i thought the part where sasuke attacks Itachi was pretty cool.. Though i have a question. Was their some reason why Sasuke pulled the neck of his shirt down while he charged his Chidori? Also,is it my imagination or was sasuke's skin peeling off his hand while he did it? Maybe he used too much chakra and his hand got burnt O_o
i think he was pulling his collar because he thinks hes cool, nah i dont know why. to your second question i think it does the every time, the chakra has to be really strong to be visible so im sure the chidori might burn a little bit, thats probably why sasuke had it wrapped up before.
is his seal gone? i thought it was gone now, but maybe its more permanent than we are lead to believe?
And the shuriken that Itachi threw, I guess he just accidently dropped it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
huh?
yeah...huh?Quote:

i dont remember itachi taking any shurikens out during this ep, i might of missed it then.
when sasuke did the chidori, i think his veins were popping out not skin peeling, later when itachi grabbed his hands, nothing looked wrong.
ROFL... am i the ONLY one who gets what terracosmo said? wow...
