Thanks hun ^_^

 

It does make me wonder what this super duper big project will be...

I'm sure the big announcement has something to do with the next movie. Maybe they will announce that the next movie will be the last and that it will be released at the same time as the end of the manga, thus maybe a sequel movie. Don't know I feel like it's something like this, though I may be wrong...

There's an interesting theory somewhere that goes on about how the removal of these accessories represents her shedding the symbols of nationalistic bias and generalised society. The burnings could symbolise the difficult hurdles that she's overcoming in her efforts. Sakura isn't just another soldier in a coalition's joint military group - she's a person of independent interests who is pursuing her own goals of fighting and providing for her closest friends, her teammates, in a battle set apart in another world against another enemy than the one that the Alliance was fighting.

 

It's mostly conjecture, but I do like the concept of Sakura "transcending" the mundane duties of a simple soldier and distinctively acting in a battle against the extraordinary with extraordinary allies/her friends.

 

I would agree.... The changing of her outfit does signal a transformation. Or rather, it will signal it. We, the readers, see and understand why she had to shed her clothes. But when the fighting is over and she returns to liberate the rest of the shinobi, she impact will be felt. She will have transformed. 

 

She didn't go down with the rest of the shinobi or med-nins, those that will still be walking around dressed in their vests and lab coats. She made a personal sacrifice to save the world, as shown physically by the torn clothes. 

 

Kishimoto has been really big on showing characters, good and bad alike, losing parts of their clothing in the final showdown. It shows the seriousness of the battle and their commitment to win.

 

Sakura is not getting a dramatic outfit change like Sasuke and Naruto. Those were closely tied to their power-ups. However, Sakura's removal of her sleeve (and hopefully the other one too) showcases her new powers. She looks fierce with the purple bands wrapped down her arms. Which ultimately I think is the point of having that scene: to show off the extent of her powers. She's doing more, going farther than she has before. 

 

And, at the risk of promoting SS handwringing, I'm sure that the last image of Sakura's vest left behind in the sand, with the Uzumaki symbol on it partly burned into, was latched onto as proof of the return of SS. That image would make good symbolism for a change in Sakura's storyline away from Naruto and back toward Sasuke. Lol - but as we know, Kishi is the ultimate troll, so I think it's just a two-fer with the imagery (Sakura sheds her appearance and SS scores a point).

 

Anyway, yeah, the use of clothing, or lack of it , in this story shouldn't be overlooked. It almost always means something. And I agree it means moving Sakura away from the general ranks of the shinobi and into her status as a powerful individual and rightful member of the neo-Sannin.

Some people care not because they care about them as a person but because of the actual influence their stupid interpretation affects the characters and the overall fandom, you know?

Talk about stupid interpretations. Do you remember 615? Who am I kidding here, we all do.

You know how we saw Hinata raising her hand then slapping Naruto, well on the viz forum people said it was Naruto's hand that was raised and wanted to give up bla bla bla. Here is the funny part. When I told them that in reality it was Hinata's hand in that panel, they said "No you are wrong, that's Naruto's hand. Reviewers on YouTube already confirmed this".

 

Now I ask you how do you deal with such stupidity?

This is one of the reason why Sakura and NS are so much hated which is ridiculous in the first place its like they can't form an opinion of their one so they look for it in guys like that *sigh*

 

Btw the forehead kiss theory nice one I have been saying that for a very long time that its bound for that scene to return no matter how much Kishimoto pisses me of (like this chap) at least he doesn't left things unfinished like he said he's gonna finish this manga conclusively  and that means the forehead scene chap 3 is gonna come back like a boomerang  hehehe after all this is the scene where the romance begin and it would be kind of sweet and symbolic if this scene is also what will finish the romance in here put an end to it imo.

Now that I finally understood Sasuke's Eye technique... Wow is that thing worthless offensively 

[luffyq1]

I read on NF that Sakura losing her clothes signifies that she will defect from Konoha.

If Sasuke's smart, which he really isn't but that's another thing. He could use Minato's "technique" throw a kunai and then "transport" to that kunai. Switching places with the kunai, in Sasuke's case.

So it could be very useful in offensive.

I read this quote somewhere on the internet
"Never argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience!" its the same case! -.-

He lost the only weapon he ever seemed to carry.... Maybe a more creative way to to go back to his old Fireball technique, that would actually be pretty fun (if it worked that way, the Fireball, which it doesn't)

It wasn't an argument, it was a comment made in her fanclub that I found weird enough to bring up.

Let me guess, she will do so as a partner in crime with Sasuke-koon?!

It seems that's all we find is weird stuff when Sasuke is involved with someone

Yeah whatever...but you do get my point don't you?

[TouKen4Life3g]

He basically had a nervous breakdown over the Obito/Tobi reveal. And instead of telling his viewers why Obito/Tobi was bad, he made a video in which he talked a lot of nonsense, that doesn't really tell us why it was a bad choice.
 
His followers are a real piece of work. I remember debating on his channel years ago, and well I don't really need to tell you how debating on YouTube with people that blindly follow what someone tells them, right?
 
PS. The thing I don't really like about this guy is that he isn't really good at reviewing a story. Since he doesn't really know how a story should be written, what goes and doesn't go in a story, etc. What he does is basically a summary of what happened, combined with his thoughts.

I see. Well, that must have been rough. Why I get the feeling we will see that again soon, but you know.

I think the fandom broke her.

That's exactly how I feel.

Yup.
