Calm down he never had any. It was Sasuke who made him cooler. Lol

Don't troll this thread now. U_U Go express your love for Hinata or something along those lines in a different thread.

 

[IceBurn]

Man Itachi looked like shit :|. I wonder how sasuke would turn out, assuming Kishi designed Itachi 1st then Sasuke.

 

[Magatsu Izanagi]

Whoa, nice find.

I... have no comment on that Itachi design, LOL. It seems like it's giving off a totally different vibe than his final character. Pretty interesting, actually.

The wolf kid seems pretty interesting, too. A shame he never made it in, it looks like he had some potential.

Zabuza looks like a boss, but I prefer his final design.

 

[Naoya Minato]

Zabuza looked sad and confused there :/

I mean, that goes along well with the whole ''psychopath'' thing, right? Especially considering how he was introduced. Zabuza was cynical and acted like he cared about no one and kept saying he only saw people as tools, yet he deeply cared about Haku. That shows his conflicting nature. I mean, the guy slaughtered all of his fellow peers as a child. If anything, his character was supposed to be sad and confused.

Also, dual swords are twice as awesome as one way too big and impractical sword, but that might just be me.

Just go make a Hinata thread yourself. U_U

You make a good point.

Actually, it may have been more emotional during the crying scene if we never got to see his eyes beforehand.

 

[Tantalus Thief]

Zabuza and Itachi were hideous.

Especially Itachi. Thank God Kishi changed it. Zabuza looks weird but kind of cool.

 

[To Whatever]

Itachi looks cooler and not like he's slowly dying of aids.

 

[Sir Blades]

I'm loving Zabuza's concept are more than what he looks like now.

Badass looking. But DAT ITACHI lol

And Kishi should have implemented that character in to the story I wonder what Kishi could have done with him.

I was hoping he'd replace Haku.

That duo would be pretty badass.

The Demon of the hidden mist and Wolf.

Lol. I think that it was much better that this:

That's just my opinion though.

 

[Kamui Sama]

Kumomaru looks dope, I wish he made it in. I wonder why he has the hyuuga curse mark on his forehead

The Itachi we know gives off the aura of being untouchable.

That concept Itachi looks like he'd body slam your ass after tanking a S-Level justu

Hyuga were supposed to be wolf people.

Confirmed.

So glad he had a good editor that demanded a re-do on Itachi.
