Chapter 307

[anphorus]

I've just given the image in 306 a critical eye examination myself and it is really off (although I never really noticed it before it was brought up). Long post ahead.

(The lines seem to be diverging as the sheath is not a perfect rectangle but a curved one, the lines would re-converge).
It doesn't seem to be curved as we can see quite a lot of the sheath at the bottom and it doesn’t even begin to curve, like it would. Curved swords, like katanas, are curved in a kind of "c" shape with both ends of the sword pointing away from the blade. If this sheath is curved it would be curved in an "s" shape, with a change of direction in the middle as both ends are pointing in the same direction i.e. one away from the blade and one pointing towards the blade.

Being an amateur artist myself I can tell you right now that drawing two interconnecting parts of something that appear separate isn't hard at all, its quite easy if you do it right. Any professional artist doesn't draw in ink straight off the bat, they draw in pencil and then go over it in ink. So all Kishimoto would have to do would be to draw the full object but then not ink the parts that are behind Sasuke. This is the preferred method just to avoid the kind of problem we seem to have spotted here.

Oh that Sasuke lying that he didnt kill (saved) Naruto on a whim and that he was going to get power his own way. And now he's going to kill him on a whim. I'm actually not even sure about that. I foresee him actually going for the killing blow only for 1 of the other 3 to block the attack. This whole getting power his own way has come into question.

Rofl, that was hilarious.

hmm I smell a lovely twist in the plot. Perhaps Sasuke let Naruto live so he can become "best friends" with Orochimaru then kill him to get the M-Sharingan!

haha, just a hunch that kicking the back of my mind when reading the last few posts here. It'll be interesting though.

Finally we get to see Sasuke. I like the new look. He reminds me of Kimimaru. He actually looks good in that shirt with no buttons and sound ninja outfit.

Why does he need an actual sword? Is it just to make him look cool or Kishi has come up with some new jutsus involving swords. Come to think of it I don’t remember anybody (shinobi) in “Naruto” using a sword.

I am really excited about the incoming chapters. I hope it’s not a brief visit from Sasuke. He and Naruto have to catch up to a lot of things. Sasuke’s thinking hasn’t changed in the past two and a half years. He didn’t even look at Saukra. He went straight to Naruto. I am surprised that Sakura hasn’t started yelling Sasuke’s name over and over.

Sasuke wasn’t happy when someone woke him up so there is hell to pay. You better run Sai, that fake smile is not going to save you.

Is a full fledged fight between Sasuke and Naruto too soon? I guess we will see how strong Sasuke has become in the past years.
