antpowerToday I woke up at 4.30am. WTF is with that?
Anyway, so after trying to go back to sleep and failing, I went and got coffee and cupcakes and finished my rewatch of the Wave arc.
Naruto is so short! It's adorable.
So, I was thinking about the bit where Haku is like 'it isn't mercy to take everything away from someone and leave them alive' in relation to Sasuke not killing Naruto in the VotE.
I mean, obviously Sasuke isn't *everything* to Naruto, he still has his Hokage dreams and all that, but really, in leaving Sasuke did become the most important thing in Naruto's life. By doing that, he really defined who Naruto would later become. And obviously Sasuke couldn't kill Naruto, as Naruto is the main character, but aside from that.
Anyway, after thinking about it, I think that Haku is wrong. In that context, anyway. Because by leaving Naruto alive, Sasuke really gave Naruto a purpose; by taking everything away, he gave him something concrete to strive for. If Naruto had been in Haku's position at that point, he would never have been all 'well, just kill me, because I clearly suck', he'd have been more like 'I MUST BECOME STRONGER AND MORE AWESOME THAN EVER'.
But I suppose, not everyone can be Naruto.
I am seeing way too many parallels between NaruSasu and ZabuHaku. Like the 'I shall throw myself into certain death to save my most precious person' thing, and the wholly pure person being totally devoted to the morally ambiguous one.And the total canonness of them both
HELLO CHIDORI! It's a good thing Haku jumped in the way, or Kakashi would totally have Chidori'd Pakkun and that would make me sad!
I love how when Inari is trying to get the villagers to fight and they won't, the womenfolk are all like OMG, EVEN THE STUPID HAT KID HAS MORE BALLS THAN YOU LOT!
I know Sasuke isn't really dead, but it's still SO SAD! I have such conflicting feelings toward Sakura in that scene where she's all 'shinobi can't show emotions and stuff', because it's really sad and all that, but at the same time, she really bugs me with her wailing. I think my problem with early/long-hair!Sakura is that she reminds me of this girl I went to high school with, who I really hated. Once she cuts her hair, I like her much better. Anyway, it's still sad, and Sasuke looks so pretty all dead and stuff. (Though, not as pretty as Haku.)
Naruto's impassioned speech to Zabuza gets me every time. It's just so Naruto, I love how he takes everything so personally and just can't understand at all how anyone could be so cold. I freaking love him. I want to move to Konoha and be his BFF, I would totally never run off on him to join Orochimaru. Well, unless Oro had cupcakes, because seriously, cupcakes are awesome. Maybe that's what sold Sasuke on the idea in the end.
Zabuza's tears! He's such a marshmallow, really.
Those samurai are so freaking lame. THEY GOT SCARED OFF BY INARI! That makes me laugh for a whole hour.
And I love how Sasuke wakes up and he's like 'Get off me, Sakura, where's Naruto?' Not even an 'ouch, these needles kind of prickle'. Sasuke is so awesome sometimes.
The freaking end bit with the snow and the Zabuza lying next to Haku just BURNS MY HEART. Oh, you crazy kids, if only you could've worked it out. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS FORESHADOWING FOR NARUTO AND SASUKE, NO MATTER WHAT I MAY HAVE SAID EARLIER! It is such a pretty scene. *sigh*
YAY, NARUTO'S WAY OF THE NINJA!
Great Naruto Bridge... that makes me sad too.
Wow, I really had a lot to say, huh.
Next, I shall rewatch the Chuunin exams, but I'll probably leave it until after I finish Death Note. There are just too many awesome things to watch and not enough time to watch them!!
Today, I finally got around to renewing my LJ and now I have 100 free icon spots! This makes me very happy!!

Date: 2008-01-22 05:01 am (UTC)Man, who would be the leader of the 'hounds' then? XD
Bleh, Haku's a pretty man, really.
Though the whole cross gender state doesnt really fit.
Heh, For the first two years my brother watched Naruto, he thought Haku was a woman.
Then when I got 'naruto: ultimate ninja two' I said: "DAMMIT LOOK, IT SAYS 'HE' IN THE INFO SECTION!"
He still didnt believe me, even though he can read a puny word like 'he' >_>
Ohhh your going to start Death note!
Its like soooooo amazing.

Its the only game I've played where you can turn up the difficulty settings and your opponent can kick your ass to a pulp.
Plus, it has a playable character called 'Tai Jutsu Naruto'; its Naruto with Gai and Lee's suit on.
In general I love it.
At times it can be difficult though, but only if you want it to be XD
