[Theory] Sasukes Tomoe aren't a drawing mistake and why

[ssjelf]

Sasuke used his eyes 4 total times.
1. Dodging the lightning. We then see him with 6 tomoe.

2. Getting to his sword.
3. Putting the sword in Madara. To me it seems he used the justu on the sword as well.

This means there are no tomoe left as evidenced by this scan.

There are no other usages between the sword usage and that scan. Note the bottom right panel. There is a zaa zaa noise indicated. (MP translates as tap tap but I think zaa zaa fits for this reason.) This I theorize to be Sasuke's rinnegan tomoe coming back as his justu isn't izanagi but similar, therefore he can get them back somehow.
4 .He then shifts both him and Naruto to Madara and we see him again with 6 tomoe.

This is just my theory so it could be wrong, but it is what explains it with the least inconsistency. Any other scan of Sasuke eye is at a far distance so we can't tell how many are left. I believe it is purposefully ambiguous to disguise his technique from being to readily apparent.

Edit: I should note that I believe the tomoe are disappearing due to the jutsu.
Edit: I should also note there may be one or two mistakes in this panel. But for the majority I think not.

Good thread, points spelled out and illustrated clearly. I personally believe it's a drawing error, as you know, and being honest that's what it almost definitely is. But this could be it, maybe. We'll find out soon enough.

really ?? we already know that

 

[BLAZE]

nice theory

I agree, I don't think it's a drawing mistake. When Sasuke's main power up is in his eye, which is important to the story and the battle, Kishimoto would spend extra time making sure the eyes are correctly drawn. Good theory, especially with the zaa zaa noise. I didn't pick up on that previously but it makes it seem as though something is changing in his eye after using the power up.

Some are arguing on other threads. I wanted to post a new thread for it instead of hijacking.

Its propably a mistake since except that one panel where you can see the rinnengan you will always see the tomoe. Also you have to take in account that sasukes eyes are never really upclose during that chapter that makes it hard for making the eye that detailed. Especially how are you going to draw a tomoed rinengan from far away it looks like a normal rinnengan but it actually isnt

I know this all ready.

One would think that he would take extra care, especially since he has stated that Sasuke is his favorite character (to draw). But he still finds time to screw up and startle the happy citizens of Narutobase.

I'm glad you posted a thread about it kappa.

Very well put together theory. I was thinking drawing mistake at first but it did seem like it happened a little too frequent in one chapter, Kishi doesn't usually mess up like that. After reading this, it's definitely a plausible theory IMO. I never noticed the "zaa zaa" thing either. I remember Kishi used to be really vague when showing Tobi use Kamui so maybe there is some type of relevance to his jutsu. The fact that his eye is also Eternal, that could explain why the tomoes return after usage.

Uhmm I don't know what chapter you read but my theory sows many close ups of his eye. However we don't get a close up of every time his eye is ever drawn or his ability is used.

Nice theory/find.

Kind of like when Edo Minato 1st made it to the war and his jacket was missing the Yondime symbols? XD

OT: nice theory though. Maybe it will be easier to make out the changes in his eye in the anime if your theory proves true.

Haha, yeah, exactly.

Oh I know, this really wasn't a theory so much about what it does though. I was just clarifying the sequence of events for people with a theory on what happened at a point that is debatable. BTW I do believe I repped you for the first link.

 

[EternalFlame]

I don't know... I still think it's a drawing mistake.

Remember, Kishi also made mistakes when Sasuke was using EMS. He was seen with MS several times.

There wasn't a close-up on Sasuke's Rinnegan and most of those panels. It could be easily recognize as a drawing mistake. Also, I don't believe in this theory. This is same theory similar to people whining about him awakening Rinnegan in the other eye because one Rinnegan makes it unbalance or something like that. Also, I don't believe in the "more Sasuke use Rinnegan, the more his Comma transition into Rinnegan" theory either and that he awaken it on his own.
