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 absolutely fantastic! Extremely well written and researched. I commend the time and effort you put into this!
(I myself would probably get distracted by something else after two days, lol)

Going in my memories! Annnnd, I'm off to read your other essays! :)

Again, fantastic job!

Thank you! Well, I do get distracted as well. But I started this at the beginning of the arc, so I had Plenty of time to get back on track. ^^;;

WOW. O.O

Oh, my god. This is amazing. *____________* Wow.

*is rendered incoherent*

Thanks for sharing! It was incredibly interesting.

[Um... stupid question? ^__________^"" I read this over two days, lol, and I can't remember whether you said anything about Sasuke!turning completely evil at all. I'd be interested to know where you stand on the question of 'Does Sasuke turn completely evil, or does he become redeemed by Naruto?'? ^^ Lol. If you've already mentioned a prediction about that... yeah, just ignore. ^^""]

Hahah! Sasuke? He's nearly guaranteed redemption here!
1. This is a Shounen manga
2. Kishimoto went out of his way to make Sasuke blameless so far. For crying out loud, he still hasn't killed anybody by himself. X'D
3. Naruto spent What proportion of the manga saying he'll bring Sasuke back? Even Itachi entrusted him with some powers Just for the task. There's no way he'll fail. X'D

I admit I Am a bit disappointed that he's being manipulated so easily though. :| But oh well, it's for plot device too.

Thanks for the comments! ^__^

You have no idea how happy your saying that makes me. I had always thought that Sasuke would be redeemed in the end, but have met recent fears of OMG-SASUKE'S-GONNA-TURN-EVUUUL while browsing forums etc - although I know next to nothing about shounen manga, I heard it said so many times that the reasoning behind people's belief that Sasuke was going to turn completely evil was that it was, in fact, a shounen manga. =SS Apparently in shounen manga, the trend is that the original rival becomes evil through a turn of events? =SS ...idk.

Anyhow, was interested to read your response! ^__________^ Thanks! [=

Hn? You're welcome then! :D

Oh sure, the rival can and is Manipulated/Brainwashed into becoming evil. But they usually get redeemed. X'D Sasuke has never been shown to be inherently evil, so he'll get redeemed as well. Also, if you bother looking at Kishimoto's style: he's the goodie-two-shoes style. No way he'll let -Sasuke-, who's never been shown to be evil, become irredeemable. Also, it's pretty obvious Madara's not telling the whole story, so when the Whole truth comes out Sasuke is going to feel mighty silly. X'D

Another discussion is whether Sasuke would die or not. Again, I really doubt he will, and Certainly not without being redeemed. I think Kishimoto will make it Appear as though he's died though, only to show that he's alive after all. :'D Oh, Kishi.
