No.
He didn't just-
.....
FUCK!
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah.... wow. I am totally surprised.
Kinda curious, but any episodes give Rin's back story? Maybe the manga goes into detail?
I had a question but I don't want to post it so near the top, and for some reason [spoiler] spoiler tags [/spoiler] are different on this forum.
Well, yeah. This forum doesn't have spoiler tags.Originally Posted by Artris

I could swear it used to though. My posts are rather infrequent.
Anyways any thoughts on why Kakashi didn't just use Mangekyo after he determined a near instant attack was necessary to use in the 5 sec interval (ocular jutsu is pretty much instant itself)? He could have used it instead of Chidori.
I guess he was trying to conserve chakra since he knew there were 4 other pains out and about. I am both happy and sad he died: having lost something so important makes the anime that much more interesting. I really thought Choza was a sacrifice, but they used him as a distraction and totally took me by surprise.
Can't believe how short the fight was.
Kakashi is screwed after he uses his Mangekyo Sharingan a few times. Since all the Pains have linked vision, you'd also want to give as little away about your ability as possible.
I was actually surprised at how many times he used Raikiri straight up before anything else. I guess it's the first time we've seen him fight someone so dangerous that you need to assassinate him immediately.
Furthering the conversations before about clones taking a hit, Kakashi's ones sure take them rather well. The first kick that went through him was both confusing and cool-looking. Strange that he'd opt for a Lightning Clone though. I was under the impression that Shadow Clones were the only clones to form a real body, making them indistinguishable from the real one. Pain should have taken the hint too when his first kick failed.
I have my own issues with this final(?) Pain's power being Magnetic Force. It doesn't fit into anything currently existing what so ever, and looks like something a filler writer (or movie writer) would come up with.

Wait what? This shit aint happing?
Wow... after so long, a fantastic episode IMO. It very nearly tear-jerked me.
What I more wonder is with the preview hinting at Pain taking over corpses, what would stop Pain from claiming Kakashi's corpse? Naruto would have an uber hard time fighting a Kakashi-Pain just for the physical appearance.
As well as Pains seem to be faring, I still think they might not have time to go around picking up corpses in addition to their real mission of trying to find Naruto.
I just hope somebody kills or captures Konan before this is all over. Defeating Pains means nothing, after all.
Tsundae needs to rip some shit up right about now.
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
I used to worry about Naruto pre-Shippuuden because they refused to kill anyone, but this is getting a little crazy. I'm guessing that none of the major characters that are older than Iruka will survive to the end of this anime...
They have to pass down to future generations after all. What a better way to die than to preserve the future.
Yeah, that would kind of suck. If in order to drive home the whole "Will of Fire" point they killed off all the adults.
I was surprised it was Kakashi that bit it though. I honestly thought if anyone was gonna die it was going to be Tsunade. With Orochimaru and Jirayia dead I fully expected the last of the Sannin to die as well.

maybe im in denial, but i still doubt that this is the last we'll see of kakashi... and i'm pretty dissapointed that he went down so fast, even if it was one of pain's bodies...

I'm with you - I read some of the earlier posts before I watched the episode and went into fully expecting to see his definitive death, but that's not what I saw at all. To me, it came across as far more as a 'critcal condition, near death experience' kinda thing. I'm fairly certain he's down for the fight baring direct Tsunade intervention, but I'll be suprised if he's down for good.
I felt that Tsunade's reaction to when she tried to heal Kakashi with the slug was fairly conclusive to me that he had died. If he had only been "near death" she wouldn't have sent it away without doing anything to him.
I see your point, but it came across to me a little different (maybe because I've got both military and medical backgrounds). I never really 'thought' about that point but I just assumed it was triage - Sakura's green/yellow/red stuff. Those injured who will live even without help, those who might survive with help, and those who will probably die even with help. In a battle situation you always devote most of your efforts to the middle category. I figured Tsunade just put in him in the final (probably gonna die) category, which matches up with the critical condition point in my earlier post, rather then it being that he was already dead.
Alternately (and I just thought about this as I was typing this post) - Kakashi is in the condition he is in because he completely and totally exhausted his chakra, right? Do we even know if that can be healed by medical jutsu? Its not an actual 'wound' after all and I don't think we've ever seen any evidence that medical jutsu can transfer chakra or anything similar. And her reaction could very easily be to a critical ninja being taken out of the fight so early, even if he isn't dead.\
Edit: Oh, and Tsunade's in person response came across to me as a very angry "Damnit, I know I could save him if I went, but I've got bigger responsabilities." Given how weepy/sad we've seen her get over the death of those she cares about, I would expect a lot more grief and a lot less anger out of her if he was already dead rather then just critical.

That's good and all, but it doesn't explain why she ignored Chouji's question.
