Hmmm...

, I still don`t quit understand. This is going to be a little long text with many paragraphs, so please prepare for it and read it all
Firstly: There was nothing special about the chapter (477) released at Christmas Eve.
If i understood you correctly, did you mean that 477 was the so called "double issue", because if you mean that, it doesn`t make any sense at all, since it was just a regular chapter. Read on...
But then i noticed that you mention that it was
a part of the "double issue".
The only thing i can think of is that we get a longer chapter at this thursday or Friday, whice i doubt, because i believe that you were suppose to mean that 476 was the so called "double issue". It just has to be that, because that chapter was not only with two extra images in colors and one real page in color, but it was also 20 pages in all.
Secondly: i also think that you meant that 476 and 477 was the "double issue" even though i wouldn`t count 477 as a part of it.
So instead of getting a special chapter/double issue at Christmas Eve so that it should "last" 2 weeks and we would survive New Years Eve, we got it a week before instead without skipping over at Christmas Eve.
So saying, we somehow got the waiting period now instead of after 476.
But i also think that New Years Eve had nothing to do with what i will explain next.
BECAUSE!: Please Don`t say that you mean what just crossed my mind?!

Don`t tell me that when Kishi and co. plans to take a week break because of holidays and so on, they call the last chapter before that break a "double issue" just to notify us that it will be a break after this one, meaning that its nothing spesial about it, just that next week will be without a chapter?


Hang in there, almost done

...
Because as onemanga.com said, the so called "double issue" was released last week in Japan, and they wouldn`t get any chapters this week and so wouldn`t we, but as it looks from what you have said, we should get that "double issue" they got last week, this week, and both we and Japan would have to wait to next week before a new chapter.
As it`s written at onemanga.com, the ones in the world who has the chance to buy th WSJ got the double issue last week while we didn`t, and many speculates that we will get that one this week.
But with your info, that whole theory just shadded like the pictures in Naruto`s head when Gaara told him to decide what to do and he hyperventilated...
From the looks of it the facts i mentioned in the "conclution part" is probobly what`s going to happend this week, since there`s not going to be any Chapters next week. So saying, the New Years Eve was "our holiday", and this week is "Japan`s holiday". So they got the "double issue" last week and we will get it this week and then, both we and Japan will have to wait untill the 21th before we get our hand on a new one.
So Japan got chapters 3 weeks in row since the week before Christmas Eve and will have to wait two weeks before getting a new one, meaning that they will not get any this week or the next.
While we got one at Christmas Eve, not at New Years Eve, gets one tomorrow, not next week, and starting the 21th, Japan and the rest of the world will be sinc. and get a chapter each week like before, and every thing will be back at normal.
But if that`s right, then it doesn`t make much sense why they would split up Japan and the rest of the world like that?

Why didn`t they in that case just release the chapter last week in the rest of the world too and both we and Japan wouldn`t get a new one before the 21th. Why would they do something unessesary like that? It doesn`t make any sence at all
Btw, where do you get your "double issue" ide from, because it somewhat crashes with what Onemanga has written, but at the same time it makes sense if a chapter is released tomorrow/Friday, because onemanga said that we probobly had to wait untill the 21th before getting a new chapter meaning no Naruto in 3 weeks.
That`s where the ide with we getting the chapter Japan got last week + the chapter we get at the 21th in the same week while Japan already has the next chapter and therfore only gets one at the 21th.
While you my friend, hints towards the fact that we will get the one Japan got last week, tommorow, and at the 21th the whole world would be back on schedule with one chapter a week?

Correct me if some of what i`ve written is/was wrong, cause its a little hard to sum up all the text and try to see if what i`ve written is what i`m suppose to post before i post it
Finally(i promise): I must say that this is the longest and hopefully the last long text and reply like this i will ever write at Narutobasexd
Thank you for your time reading, and now please reply Whiteknight and/or Pervy Sage for that matter of sake, or anyone really

Even though i
Highly doubt that the replies you guys come up with(if any) possibly beats the length of my reply. Its not meant as a challenge though, trust me
Many of the things i`ve written in this post, doesn`t even need a reply, but i just had to get it all out to get an overview. Just like in a court of law, where they mention the same thing over and over again in different context to get a better overview (well not always, but sometimes).
But please notice what`s written below!:
Whiteknight, Please say that this is what you meant:
"The fact that a "double issue" is just a way of saying that there will not be any chapter next week, and that there`s nothing special about it like 476 was (whice had 1 page in color and 20 pages in all)", because this became a much longer text than expected and i`ve already used way to much time writing it, so if i didn`t got what you meant in any of my points, my head`s going to explode

?


Finally finished:ghehe:
