Right?? I feel like it delivered everything and then some! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. But it kind of. Was. Which is amazing in and of itself!
It was such an emotionally fuelled chapter, especially after the last one and it fit them perfectly. It would take them lying on the ground, unable to move and slowly dying in order to have an actual heartfelt conversation?? THAT IS SO THEM! But all through the fight Sasuke kept dropping hints that he needed but did not want Naruto dead. Saying things like 'that's why I need to kill you' as opposed to 'want' to kill you, when Naruto asks him. Begging Naruto to 'please, fall' which was absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking. Sasuke's heart wasn't in it. He was doing what he felt needed to be done? But it's pretty obvious that it isn't what he 'wanted' to do.
I think everyone saw the hand thing in the last panel. Though I personally think it's supposed to represent the reconciliation seal? You know, the thing they never did as kids etc. We got several flashbacks to that moment in the fight so though their arms were severed, I still get them impression that reconciliation has taken place (the blood literally outlines their arms and hands linking) and I thought it was pretty beautiful tbh.
SO SAD NEXT WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK! T_T But at least it'll be 2 chapters and hella long? I read that Kishimoto turned in the final chapter to his editor today. So it's officially over now! (come fangirl with me on tumblr over the last chapterrr)
...actually curiosity won me over...wow. A whole new world has just opened. O__O Tumblr may not have the real raw scans but it's hella funny to see fan reactions and comments. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
Haha, those scan leaks were real! (if it's the ones I'm thinking of) but yes! Fandom has pretty much moved to tumblr. It's very active over there, buzzing really, whereas it's dead on livejournal and has been for a few years.
If you ever sign up for tumblr, let me know? I'll follow you on there for sure. :)
