Naruto Structure Mega-Analysis

[heronite]

Whoo! I probably should have waited a chapter or two for this arc to properly end before posting it, but I got reaaaal fed-up of letting it mould. So here you have it! The last of my mega-essays, the Naruto Structure Analysis

This is just fantastic! With spiffy spreadsheets and everything! Thank you so much for all your work. I'm so putting this in my memories, :3

[heronite]

Thanks! ^^

[ex_impishly]

Wow, that looks like it took a lot of effort...

[heronite]

Um, yes it did?

[fis_fics]

...this is amazing. XD It makes a ridiculous amount of sense. (And you have graphs! :o)

If/when Neji gets a fight again, I will be all over that. >.>

[heronite]

Thank you! :D I do think the supporting cast will get one last fight. No reason not to, it's extra money for Kishimoto. :|

Wow, fantastic job on getting all of this information together. I'm sure it took many long hours to get it all together and compile it into this essay of epic proportions.

But, if you don't mind me bouncing a little thought me and an rp buddy have concerning Jiraiya, Konan, and Pein... we did think that Konan seemed to show a tiny bit of regret or remorse at the death of her former teacher, while Pein did not. Taking it a little further, would it be likely that, given our theory holds true, Konan might end up pulling one of those conversions that a number of characters (Tsunade, Gaara, Neji, Chiyo, Zabuza, etc.) have undergone after meeting and getting to know Naruto? Or perhaps even out of memory of him?

Yeah, it took me a while, but it's not my longest essay nor the one that took me the longest.

As for Konan, it's possible, but to tell you the truth, because I favour structure analysis I've pretty much stopped trying to guess the rest of the content. X'D Structure analysis can tell you what the arc can be about (ex.: Konan), but not what it will reveal about her.

It's not? o_o W-wow, that's incredible.

Huh, makes sense.

The NaruSaku manifesto and the Konoha History essay are both longer and took more time. The NaruSaku manifesto took what... 4 LJ posts? The History essay/Timeline essay combo occupy 2 posts. Both of them took longer than the Structure essay too, though it may be due to the fact that I had already build up many elements throughout older essays.
