I am liking the black background with the emphasis on the Sharingan looming over the character of Deidara. It has a very eerie feel to it, and I am hoping when it is animated it will be accompanied by some fitting music.
It definitely seems like Deidara's caught by some form of Doujutsu. Guess that eye of his wasn't all that trained, after all.
Excellent action this week. Sasuke's analytical abilities appear to be on par with those of Shikamaru. Everyone's prediction that Deidara may go all suicide-bomber on us my turn out to be right after all. I have to admit that I was initially not a big Deidara fan (Terracosmo, before you reach through the internet and kill me, let me finish), but seeing the action in these last few chapters has really changed my opinion of him, as both a fighter and a character. I think that it is a shame we are going to lose him so soon after discovering how cool he really is.
And finally, because -- as everyone knows by now -- everything reminds me of Yu Yu Hakusho, I have to say that Deidara is basically Karasu of Team Toguro. The fight has gone, for the most part, identically to Karasu's only televised match, in which he battles Kurama. Karasu, master of explosives, goes toe to toe with the best strategist in the show who reveals previously unseen versions of his famous techniques, even after Karasu resorts to numerous invisible bombs.
This should sound familiar by now
The fight ends with a failed suicide bomb attempt by Karasu. All these similarities lead me to only one conclusion. Deidara will employ the same tactic, to the same effect.
BS pwns.... post to be edited after i read
kukukuku sasuke looks evil at the endI thought one of them would have been finished off this chapter but the fight continues.

Excellent chapter. I had almost forgotten they introduced nature affinity in Naruto but here it comes flying back to the forefront of battle strategy. This ep demonstrated one of the best things about Naruto fights not involving Naruto, there is strategy involved in addition to guts and luck. If Sasuke didn't know Chidori and wasn't lightning based he'd likely be dead, regardless of how smart or analytical his Sharingan makes him.
However one thing that was a bit of a stretch was him being able to see into his own blood vessels, that seems like more of a Byakugan ability than a Sharingan one. I know they said the Sharinag evolved from the Byakugan way back when, but if Sasuke is going to slowly unlock Byakugan abilities in addition to his Sharingan ones then he's going to be way too over powered.
However as it stands now he's all tired out and even after he beats/survives the suicide of Diedara Tobi is still lurking around nearby...
Yeah...sasuke seeing his bloodstream bothered me as well, but I'm just going to attribute it to sasuke seeing deidara's chakra from within his own body.

I'm guessing the fight will probably end by next chapter. Either one of them dies, or they are saved by someone else.
Just out of curiousity, what is lightning's weakness? I don't think it even has one in pokemon? lol.
It's wind. Hence:Originally Posted by Id3aLiStiC

In Pokemon isn't it rock/earth?
I love how these types of battles always end with each side giving a long winded explanation of how they arrived at that point and the strategies they used. Just for once I'd like to see:
"But.... how did you know? :O "
"Not telling, STFU."
A suicide bomb is sooo obvious next chapter.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
For naruto it's wind. For pokemon it's ground but is also weak to grass. Saying that, it's really weird how lightning is strong against earth, I don't see the logic behind it. It seems in Naruto the weaknesses are opposite to that of pokemon. Then again I can't see how wind is strong against lightning. Lightning should just go straight down and cut through wind. Confusion!!!
Back on topic, Cool chapter again, it's strange now, I still don't really like deidara that much. Sure he's done some clever tricks with explosions but I've seen better tactics to use from other animes. Sasuke really did have a hard time against Deidara which surpised me. This fight says to me that Deidara probably could've beaten Orochimaru now if they had to fight each other. Heck I think even Sasori could've won since Deidara was his subordinate and you can't genjutsu a puppet. Interesting fight, can't wait to see next weeks one now. It'll either end up like Yuyu Hakusho or Tobi will step in and interfere and maybe we get to see some action from the other members of Team Snake
Well, it is supposedly explained that Sasuke can see the color of chakra.....which should still be a Byakugan ability, I think. Whatever, this was a very cool chapter. I wish Kishimoto would be kind enough to show us all of the element seals, so we can start noticing these strategies before they explain them. It's like reading a mystery book, and trying to guess the end, when they've left out some important clues, so the reader cannot possibly guess. Scooby Doo never did that, so Naruto should give us some chance (originally it WAS possible to notice these things in Naruto).
Well, anyway, Sasuke kicked ass, and it wasn't because he was all-powerful at all, but because he managed to use good strategy. It definitely looks as if the fight will end next chapter, probably with Deidara as the defeated. I wonder if Sasuke has learned to control the other elements. His ability to recognize a hand seal which isn't fire or lightening suggests that he's studied, but now I wouldn't be too surprised to see him use another element. What if: Deidara used a wind element to conquer Chidori, and then Sasuke countered with fire for the win? Eh? Nah.....it'll be a suicide bomb finale, definitely.
damn, Deidora almost had him... so close.
at least it was a good chapter, with the elements affinity and all, which lessens my sadness over sasuke not dying.
well, there's still hope, Sasuke is really out of juice by now, tobi can come in and bust his ass, since he's probably air and water (just the general glitch i'm getting from him), at least force Sasuke to run away.
And hilariously, Karasu is actually my favorite character from Yu Yu Hakusho. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!
As a sidenote the character I enjoyed most in Fullmetal Alchemist was Kimbley (the one who blew stuff up all the time). I don't really know what the fuck is with me and bombs/explosions but damn it gets me on.
Well then in that case you must be a big for of Mr. 5 as well:
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
well, deidara is screwed , uh does akatsuki know about the afinity thing or is it just a konoha taught tradition
i really hope there is no suicide bomb, deidara should just run away and get back to akatsuki and have the leader finish him off for his incompetence
