My theory seems more plausible than what really happened.

So he perfectly timed pooring the vile on the needle and some splattered on his face?!?! My way would've been "cooler" and closer to reality.

I wonder if shikamaru is playing gimp or if someone's going to rush in and save him. I hope he's playing gimp and he pulls through on his own and doesn't need rescuing.
