But remember that Kimi has complete control over his bones, and we've seen him move them in the span of microseconds. So it should be an easy task for him to make them into a type of exo-skeleton to resist the pressure of Gaara's sand, then move them when he wants to walk. Think of it like this....Kimi's bones ARE completely rigid, and harder than most materials. However, by an act of his will, he can move and reshape them instantaneously.

Are Kimi's bones automatic?

When little kimi is fighting in the mist village, One of the mist guy hits him in the back, but kimi's bones catch the sword. However, in that scene kimi looks surprised, when he gets hit from behind.

[ChaosK]

that wuz make it lik Garra's sand? mayb if the body senses danger the bones will come out? i'm too lazy to go bak and check if kimi wuz surprised but if i remember correctly (dont count on it i have the WORST memory) kimi wuz hit by the guy w/ the sword, then the bones came out so i thought that wud be kimi making the bones come out at his will

[kooshi]

I don't think his bones are automatic. He was probably just surprised that someone was going after him. Wouldn't you be surprised if someone was suddenly behind you with a weapon?

[Jeff_from_MD]

of course it could have been construed as genjutsu. Unless you're a freaking manga reader, the first thing that comes to mind when naruto's trying to chase the now creepy sasuke in a black tunnel is....a trap.

Terracosmo : I mean WHY would he do that? CAN he even do that?

What in that episode made u think he wouldn't? or can't? Do YOU know what the heck Sasuke's turned into right now? Oh wait, nevermind, I see your posts all over the Naruto Open Manga Discussion thread already. But in that case I don't think you should be so ready to dismiss where the exclusive anime-based speculation is coming from then.
It's clear genjutsu coming into play doesn't violate all the holy laws of logic people are trying to prove. Personally, at first I thought Sasuke was trying to throw Naruto off with a mind-wrenching distraction, but I realized maybe not after I finished watching.

i fu no longer think that what is ur point in this arguement? all u did wuz contridict urself... and i say its not genjutsu b/c sasuke nevr knew genjutsu, remember he wuz supposed to "die" inside the barrel unless ur telling me wen some1 dies they learn new things. him going to lvl 2 cursed seal wud not enable him suddenly to have the knowledge to use genjutsu
--1 more thing, sasuke wuznt even in lvl 2 inside the cave whiel naruto wuz chasing him. so him gettin an new ability wudnt really make sense either

[Terracosmo]

@Jeff:

Sasuke: LOOOOL!
Naruto: SASSUKKEEEEEEEEEE
Sasuke: ololoolol
Naruto: WAIT DAMNIT *enters tunnel* wait.. what the hell happened to the lights?
Sasuke: YOU ARE TRAPPED IN MY GENJUTSU!
Naruto: Wait? Since when can you use genjutsu?
Sasuke: Fool! I studied it while being dead in the barrel!
Naruto: OMG! HAX!
Sasuke: Now I will kill you slowly by showing you flashback scenes of you on a playground!
Naruto: NOOO PLEASE WHYYYYYYY
Sasuke: Mwahahahahaaaaa FEAR ME!!! Why RUN TO OROCHIMARU AND KILL ITACHI WHEN I CAN USE RANDOM GENJUTSU POWERS THAT I JUST ACQUIRED FOR NO REASON ON YOU?
Naruto: NOOOOOOO

Etc

Does this look sensible to you?
If it does not, I rest my case.
If it does, then you are stupid.

Sasuke developed Badly Directed Flashback no Jutsu while in the barrel.

And if you think that's impressive, wait until the combo attack of Filler and Outsoure Animation To Korea no Jutsu later.

[drcitan]

All I know is I already forgot about Lee's fight because of this awesome showdown between two powerhouses.

[DarthEnderX]

Terra, quit being a shit. There's dozens of reason he could have that power, not the least of which is that people GAIN NEW POWERS ALL THE TIME FOR NO REASON! I mean, shit, Lee never trained to be a drunken master a day in his fucking life but he takes a swig and he's suddenly a master of the style? That kind of crap is all over the series.

I think Jeff basically hit the nail on the head that the only reason you can be so certain that its not a genjitsu and everyone who thinks its even possible that it could be is an idiot is because your a manga reader, and frankly vehement denial amounts to a spoiler.

Chaoskiddo, go back to school please, come back when you finish.

[Y]

No, it isn't a spoiler.

It's just a damn introspective/flashback.

[Terracosmo]

"I mean, shit, Lee never trained to be a drunken master a day in his fucking life but he takes a swig and he's suddenly a master of the style? That kind of crap is all over the series."

Well the difference is that GAI TOOK FUCKING 10 MINUTES TO EXPLAIN THAT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE LACKING ALL FORM OF INTELLIGENCE.

And what Y said.

I've been here long enough to know when or not to put my manga knowledge to use you fucking morons. Just shut up and use goddamn logic.
Chaoskiddo might not have the same grammatical skills as you do but at least he seems to be able to use the brain for other things than wiseass remarks.

And now, enough of this already. Stick to your completely illogical resolutions if you want. It's not my problem.

[Assertn]

its true......they usually go through great lengths to explain any special tricks that took place, if any tricks DID take place, to make sure even the slowest caught on.
Ask professor Dosu if you don't believe me

[Y]

If I was some kind of overanalyzing prick (which we all know I'm not, right guys? Guys?) and had to write the scene off as something other than "Naruto stumbled into Fillerflashbackland", I'd say it was his state of mind combined with the sensory deprivation of total darkness that created his little escapade.

[KitKat]

Haha, I never expected this to turn into such a huge debate.

I understand that it's really difficult to regulate things when both manga readers and anime watchers are engaging in a discussion together. However, I think that Assertn has the right idea about how to discuss things. Mae and I gave our reasons why we thought it could be a genjustu, and he gave counter examples based on what we've seen in the series so far. He did not say anything that could be construed as being based on his manga knowledge.

Edit: Nevermind, this is definitely not worth fighting over. I hate arguing. It makes me miserable. I won't say anything more on this topic again.

[Terracosmo]

If indeed reasons such as "This has happened before in the series, nobody commented then" and "Why would Sasuke know genjutsu from sitting a barrel for a few hours" and "Why would he stop and use it on Naruto when he is trying to escape" cannot be written WITHOUT being seen as "spoilers coming from a manga reader", then I must declare that this is the first time I have ever been disappointed at people online. And that is saying more than much.

You can keep that advice for yourself KitKat. Appreciated, but no thanks.

[Y]

Jeez, if this is your first instance...

... welcome to the Internet.

[Terracosmo]

Well there's a difference between disappointment and disappointment. I actually care about peoples' opinions on this forum.

[Assertn]

well good.....and you're one of the few people that actually seem to listen to my counter-arguments [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
