Orochimaru is the villain for the simple minded &/or unsophisticated.When you say great writing are you being sarcastic? We all know that the Uchiha's are pathetic and Orochimaru is the only legit villain.
agreedI honestly hope so.. he feels lame atm, kinda presented on a silver tablet without the decoration on it (I really can't say what I actually mean today LOL), altough I kinda unterstand the reason for his behaviour. But for me he doesn't fit in the "bad guy" role.. he doesn't seem like.. a "bad" person so that you can take him serious. I mean he wanted to see his friends and stuff, that's not bad. You could say that Madara fulfills this role, but I don't like him either.
...maybe I just dislike all Uchiha in whatever kind of role because they all seem like 12-Year old kids to me, going crazy about everything that happended to them, whining, bitching and deciding to take on a whole village just because they can't understand what someone actually means (*cough*Sasuke*cough*). But Itachi was cool, nothing against Itachi. One of my favourites here.
I'm not sure but wouldn't Uzumaki be a form of SenjuSo Nagato was a Senju and not an Uzumaki after all. Interesting.
The Gedo Mazou is made of Senju Hashirama's cells. Since his cells and chakra can create life Madara used them to extend his lifespan. The Gedo Mazou is also the container that Madara hopes to use to revive the ten tails, and this is just speculation on my part, but its being conencted to Madara through Senju's cells is how Madara will use the ten tails chakra to complete the Moon's Eye Plan.At least now people who keep insisting that Nagato unlocked Rinnegan will stop.
Great chapter and actually very much explained the whole Moon's eye plan, made it real and how everything went into cognition with the events. Though I'm not sure how the Gedo Mazou and Senju Hashirama fits in, anyone care to clarify that to me? It doesn't makes sense to me lol...
Call me greedy, but I actually want to see how the whole Akatsuki organization formed. It's an interesting thing, how they found the place and/or person to contact.
Ok let me first answer this. Of course they are bad. As a great deal of literature and all communist societies have shown us a Utopian society can never exist. Utopias that are created under false pretenses (Moon's Eye Plan) will crumble. it is the human condition to have struggles in life. Its like this: without struggle accomplishment would not feel good, without sadness joy is bland, and without war there is no peace. Second I will let you answer this. How many dictators that control every aspect of their peoples lives do you think are good people? My answer is none. The greatest gift God ever gave man was the freedom to choose how he lives his life and a source of redemption for his mistakes. By losing faith in mankind and trying to become a genjutsu controlling god of men Madara may create peace but his real goal is just that, god like power.Excellent and interesting chapter that confirmed alot of theories and ideas that we had here. Now I just wonder about two things:
1. At the end, Obito says he is Madara. I didn`t understand the thing about the will. Whose will is it that controls Obito`s body? His own or Madara`s or both merged? I`m sure there will be cool theories.
2. The moonseye plan and its origins. The chapter explains what we all knew before. Obito`s pain and how it led to his will to create a world of peace. Are the bad guys really bad when they show the plan like this? Their plan is a good way but the way how they push it through is bad I think. What does Madara really want? Ultimate power or peace?
