Naruto 333

[Assertn]

Oh c'mon we never really learned that much about Sasori.

Kishi never really fleshed out those flashbacks, all we got were the recurring image of him using his puppet parents to try and hug him. We never knew why sasori killed them.

We never really knew why he was even in the akatsuki aside from the fact that he was kage killer, plus with an arsenal of 300 human puppets who knows what kind other crazy things he might have developed

Honestly I had to chose who I'd rather see survive from that arc, I would have preferred to have Diadara killed off and Sasori continue to go on.

From what we've seen Diadara seems to be nothing more then a one trick pony.

Chiyo explained the culture of the sand village, and how the ninjas of sasori's era were raised to have no emotions and learn only to kill. Sasori's whole backstory is meant to be understood that he is a product of the environment he was raised in. I actually prefer his moments in the series more than most others because there was alot of depth in it without it actually being spoonfed like so many other aspects of the show.

I also like seeing fights where a major character is defeated before his abilities are fully utilized, just because its too cliche otherwise.

Edit: Also....kimimaro and haku had much less involved backstories too. Like them, I'm sure sasori's backstory will be twice as long in the anime than in the manga.

on the whole kakuzu dieing thing if he survives this kakashi always has his MS waiting to be used so there is no reason for this guy to live thru a fight with kakashi.

I guess Kakashi's hand being bandaged had nothing to do with anything, then. What was the point of drawing it on him?

[toonice714]

Dont be so sure he wont die. Kakuzu even said that he has outlasted all of his other partners except for Hidan. Maybe he will die abruptly and Hidan will freak out and unleash some hidden potential.

Hidan's kinda like a necromancer...I'm seeing a resurrection of Kakuzu...

C'mon guys... Kakuzu is not going to die for a couple reasons:

1. Kakashi has not used whatever it was that Shikamaru gave him in the last chapter. Kishi does not leave plot points like this unused.

2. Kakashi has indicated that Kakuzu will die. Every time a character says this, the guy they're talking about doesn't die.

3. Kakuzu has not revealed his strongest ability yet... it is unlikely Kishi will kill him off before he's used his strongest jutsu/reached his full potential. Right before Chiyo and Sasori died, they both used their strongest techniques... there was no potential for further development for them, so Kishi felt he could kill them off IMO.

I doubt Kakuzu has shown his strongest move yet. Besides, what was this "ability" that he mentioned (the turn body into steel jutsu)? Could this indicate a blood-line limit? If so, it's about time we had another one.

Anyway, this is mostly a summary of what other people mentioned in this thread.

^ did you read the manga and pay attention to what just happened in the last few pages of it?
