OH HEY LOOK ANGRY CAPSLOCK

[elementalhero]

Naruto 480 is out. I AM GOING TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP A LID ON THE ANGRY CAPITAL LETTERS starting now.



~Goddamnit look the title page is really sexy, too, man why you gotta put a damper on my love for Sasuke when I know I'm going to be pissed at him, Kishi ;_;

~ffffffffuuuuuuuuuu look at Sasuke in that bottom corner panel, he's gorgeous, why are you doing this to me you bastard

~I'm confused. Tsukuyomi can control time in the real world, now? It doesn't feel like an ass-pull to me because I genuinely am not sure what's going on.

~okay, so Sasuke...made Danzou think the eye on his arm was open...but. Why? To make him think the technique was still activated?

~Karin you're so pretty sob please don't die I don't want you to die sob sob sob

~Oh, I spoke too soon, Madara is now helpfully explaining what happened and why it was logistically sound. Madara, you are the only thing keeping me loving this manga right now. Please make it better. Somehow.

~kaldsjskadlskal stop looking so goddamn sexy, Sasuke, I am trying to be angry at you

~Why would Madara want to retrieve Shisui's eye? It couldn't be a Mangekyou...could it? Maybe it's just a respect thing.

~g-god and they're being shippy with the biting and the GOD I CAN'T DO THIS I CAN'T READ ANY FURTHER, MAYBE IF I STOP RIGHT NOW IT WILL ALL BE OKAY AND THE FAIL AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER WON'T HAPPEN--Oh, I flipped out. Sorry. I said I'd be good for as long as possible.

~Yes, Danzou. Yes, you can die yet. Die now. Please.

~holy shit a giant fricking tree

~I love the panel of Karin and Sasuke, and Karin's just like "wha?" and Sasuke's like "huh?" and her arm's like STILL IN HIS MOUTH ahahahaha...ha... D| /SOB, PULLS OUT FLASK/ KISHIMOTO, WHY WOULD YOU RUIN THIS SHIP FOR ME, I DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAND ;A;

~So...Shodaime's cells are going crazy and taking over his body....uh. Okay. .__. /whatever, I just go with this anymore

~fffff Danzou's got a palm tree for a head

~AHAHA AND SASUKE JUST RUNS RIGHT PAST HIM. SASUKE, YOU IMBECILE.

~aaaaargh again with the female hostage plot device. I mean, usually I make excuses for you, Kishimoto. I could say that Karin's the only logical hostage because Sasuke's crackling with lightning right now, and Danzou'd just 'zoop' right through Madara, but you know what? I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HER LIKE A DICK. I'M THROUGH WITH DEFENDING YOU.

~and I would normally be like aaaah the way he looks at them and with Karin and aaah this could be construed as so shippy BUT I CAN'T. BECAUSE YOU RUINED IT. FOREVER. /CRIES

~Danzou wants. To attempt to use Shisui's genjutsu. On Madara. LOL.

~and I would normally be thanking Kishimoto for letting us know how much of a hypocrite Danzou is right now BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO KILL KARIN. It makes me so. fracking. angry that I could have been happily enjoying this chapter up to this point but I can't because I know Kishi's about to suddenly screw everything up for me. So angry.

~And him telling her not to move should have me passing out with shippiness BUT I CAN'T. SO SCREW YOU, KISHI.

~HOLY FUCK THAT

~aaaah that was a terrifying spread what the shit

~fffuuuuuuuu there it is. :|


So obviously we're supposed to be going "OMG SO HE IS REALLY IRREDEEMABLE WOW :O" but it was just. so badly executed. and I just.




what just happened.


/cries.


ETA:

Someone pointed out to me that Karin might be alive by virtue of Sasuke stabbing Danzou under her arm by the narrowest of margins, and that would be why he told her not to move. Which would take this chapter and not only allow me to enjoy all the parts I mentioned I wanted to enjoy, but also make it the shippiest thing ever, so wonderfully I might have to go join a monastery just to fully devote my life to contemplating its wonder.


I am terrified to get my hopes up, because to have them crushed again might kill me.

my god what is this bullshit i don't even know anymore

[strange_quark]

She's not dead. Not with the way that chapter ended, no way.

Like I don't actually care that much whether or not she did and I don't think she's dead. There'll be some crazy excuse for why she's still alive, I'd put money on it.

[hungrytiger11.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is just some crazy hope or something but I kinda think the stabbing of Karin might be another Genjutsu. Sasuke was very deliberate and all telling her not to move and the entire chapter was Madara monologuing about how awesome the Uchiha and their ability to make illusions is.

I dunno. Just....

[serenemuffin.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Just ugh. I don't even care if this is an illusion or not. Well, if Karin lives that'd be a relief.

It just. hurts. my brain. so much. and maybe my heart.

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm not even in this fandom, and I'm kind of thinking it might be a trick.

Then again, I might be giving the manga-ka way too much credit.

I like this version better.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

See edit. :/ But again, I don't even know. My trust has been severely shaken.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

See edit.

Also, where the hell are Suigetsu and Juugo this is incredibly important to me

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

See edit.

|D am I just going to go down the row telling people to see the edit? I hope not.

karin icons \o/

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

It's like, even if it does turn out all okay, my heart still feels like a kicked puppy. why would you even joke about that, Kishi

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Here's to hoping o9

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

IDEK ANYMORE MAN

also see edit

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

HASHI'S VERSIONS OF EVERYTHING ARE BETTER.

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

Hm, just saw it.

BUT BUT BUT. THE PAGE WAS ALL "SASUKE'S DESCENT INTO DARKNESS."

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

BUT I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT. *hopes*

...one of these days, maybe I'll read the 400-odd chapters from the start till now, since I'm stalking these weekly updates anyway XD

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

THE PAGE IS DUMB AND HAS LIED BEFORE.

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

IT HAS?

[knospi.livejournal.com]

After reading the chapter another time, I started thinking that Karin probs survived as well. Kishimoto is the master of f-ery :| I don't think she'd die juuuuuust yet, if at all!!

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

I love the panel of Karin and Sasuke, and Karin's just like "wha?" and Sasuke's like "huh?" and her arm's like STILL IN HIS MOUTH ahahahaha

AHAHAHAHA IKR THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER oh man Karin's power is so much lulz.

And I kind of doubt that she's dead, since otherwise why would Sasuke have been all STAY STILL 8[ so I'm thinking that he just aimed his lightning thingy very very precisely so that it stabbed through her but barely missed all the important bits.

Also Kishimoto never kills anyone. He suffers from Tite Kubo Disorder.

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

HE IS ACCOSTING VELMA!

MADARA DO SOMETHING!!!

AKSKDJSDKJSDKDFSJSDKFD

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

LOL that part of the page is just the hypey blurb to get you to tune in next week. Canonical, it isn't.

[thehopeofdawn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm aware. XD I've just never known those weird blurbs to outright lie? THEN AGAIN I NEVER PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM, USUALLY.


Also I love that icon. Usagiiiiii ♥

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

I THINK I AM REPLACING THE REAL CHAPTER WITH IT.

I CAN DO THAT.

BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS A NINJA.

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

XDDDDDDDDD SHE LOOKS LIKE VELMA TO HIM? IDEK XDDDDDDDDD

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm thinking it's a, er, what's the term... they're going to let everyone think he totally killed Karin off for the week until next week rolls around and, hey, Saucey-pants pulled it off again.

Anyway, yeah. Bleh. (Is it sad that I knew your reaction would be appropriately flail-y and capslocky to make me feel better, so I came here straight after reading the chapter?)

Edit: Ah, though, looking at it again, there is that blood... Hngh.
