it seems that the only reason theres head protectors is that the authors lazy

yeah ur right.. the authors lazy.. and the prove is they cover most of Kakashi&#39;s face coz they are really lazy to draw him .. what the hell&#33;&#33; he is one of the important characters in this anime &#33; they must give him more concern&#33;&#33;&#33;

but in the same time he looks hot with his face covered&#33;&#33;

[Insomniac]

most people may be thinking why Dosu has those bandages all over his face..

simple answer is - author didnt want to go into detail
haha, how lazy

What the hell

lets go help them ?&#33;

Hey when you&#39;re the writer and the artist and you&#39;re doing 20 pages a week, things can get tough. Cut the guy some breaks, Shonen Jump manga is a long way from the Louvre.

[Insomniac]

its just interesting thats all


now we know reasons for certain things when before we thought they were detailed reasons

[Uchuu no Recca]

well nevertheless, the amount of details in plot and coincidences ect is more then enuff to cover up the significants of having kakashi&#39;s nose and mouth drawn.

kudos to the author to invent the headband that quickly.

[Insomniac]

now you can go up to those people with cosplay headbands and go &#39;Kishimoto too lazy to draw your forehead?&#39;

the site says that he was too lazy to draw goggles all the time not draw foreheads that is why he came up with the forehead protectors. If you think about it drawing a forehead might actually be easier than the the whole headband with the leaf insignia on it.

[Chi Chi]

Even if he hadn&#39;t introduced , the story wouldn&#39;t be the same anymore. I imagine that Kakashi would wear something else but what about Ino and Sakura.

[Insomniac]

the appearance of the characters doesnt really change the story seeing as their appearances are barely ever explained


ie. Dosu&#39;s bandages

[PheniZ]

Well, the masks kinda makes us make our own theories of why they are there, don&#39;t they? Dosu might well have lost an eye in a fight sometime, or gotten it scratched out by a little cat. Who knows?

[SDShamshel]

I&#39;m not sure how much of a pain in the ass you realize drawing those goggles would be. Take the amount of detail and neatness and precision you need to draw them, then take the fact that Naruto IS the main character and therefore appears more often than anyone else, THEN take the fact that Naruto appears in WEEKLY Shounen Jump, and it&#39;s perfectly understandable.

[RockLeeisHOT]

did you ever think that kakashi&#39;s covered face and dosu&#39;s bandages are what make them unique? I don&#39;t think it was lazyness. Only Naruto&#39;s goggles were lazyness

[Insomniac]

people expected them to have stories behind it

like a reason why Dosu was bandaged and a reason why Kakashi covers his face, and theres no reason

[Kiba-kun]

Sakura looked cuter there :| uhm... I like her hair XD

[RockLeeisHOT]

kishimoto explained that kakashi doesn&#39;t show his face because it&#39;s a quirk with him. He believes ninjas are supposed to be mysterious and all that. Dosu wasn&#39;t explained, but I liked him as he was

[sexy_no_jutsu]

yes, i saw that a long time ago.

im glad he lost the goggles. they look stupid compared to the headband.
aslo, sakura looks way more kawaii there. the wild hair looks cool.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Just look at those character sketches in the first link&#33;

They really show how talented Kishimoto is when he takes his time and puts forth the effort. The sketches of Konihamaru, Ebisu, and Iruka are great.


Now in the regular chapters he barely has time to finish the lineart. I hera he has assistants that do the backgrounds for him.
