Open Source Blogging

Shhhhhh... they might be listening...

When I returned to blogging I said I would be trying some new things, and today I intend to implement one of those “things”.  One “thing” I’ve always said is that the people who post comments and the readers in general were just as, if not more talented, than I am.  When it comes to manga, who the hell knows EVERYTHING? And who can write from EVERY perspective and opinion? Nobody.  So why not give everyone the opportunity to write?

This blog isn’t what it used to be as far as traffic or hit counts (that tends to happen after a 5 month absence) BUT it does get about 2-3 thousand reads a day.  So you would be subjecting your opinion to a certain number of reads per day, but at the same time exposing your perspective to the internet, thusly expanding the wealth and ever expanding pool of knowledge when it comes to manga.  So with that said here is what’s going to happen…  If you make a worth while comment on a post, you will be added as an author, once this happens, feel free to blog away.  No one will edit your musings so be sure to check, double, then triple check your work before posting or you will no doubt be made fun of later.

Guide lines for posts:

1) *this rule is no longer applicable* Make them as long as you want…

2) Use at least 1 image in your post and no more than 2.

3) You MUST create at least 1 poll OR ask 1 question at the end of your post, to allow for discussion in the comments section… or both.  No more than 2 polls for each post. (Doesn’t apply to fan fic)

4) No more than 3 posts per week per author.

5) Foul language is ok, just put a warning in BOLD LARGE LETTERS at the top if the content is adult.

6) ANY subject is ok, you don’t have to limit yourself to manga.  The post can be about movies, anime, videogames, fanfic, politics… ANYTHING.  As long as it is about SOMETHING.  I don’t want to hear about your day, make sure it has a subject, has a point.  Even if someone else wrote about the subject already feel free to post.  So if you have a different take on the new chapter of Naruto or Bleach then by all means write your opinion piece, I think thats a good thing.

7)  If you write a post, be sure to be an active commenter on other peoples posts; comments generate ideas, which generates good material.

I reserve to delete any post I want, without warning.  If you break any of the above rules or your post breaks some kind of law or is just in bad taste, or is an advertisement it will get deleted.  I may change the title of your posts, as well as the tags to make it more search engine friendly, so don’t freak out on me if I do.  I’m doing it to increase traffic.

9) Don’t come to me asking how to do something, I’m busy.  Google the question or look up the help section on wordpress… if it is something to do with WordPress, there is a way to find out how to do it through WordPress.

10)  If you commented and I added you as an author but you don’t want to write anything, then don’t write anything.  It’s just there if you want it, you don’t have to use it and it changes nothing on your account.

11) You have to have a WordPress account and logo so that I can add you!

That’s  pretty much it, I don’t know how well this will work but I’m sure if it does it will be copied on a thousand other blogs >_< LMAO! If there is something I didn’t cover, feel free to ask it in this post’s comment section.

The Juubi’s Eyes

The Juubi, the ten-tailed Bijuu, the ultimate monster and weapon, was introduced in chapter 467 when Tobi made a declaration of war to the ninja world. Of course the Juubi has special powers, but what do they have to do with our beloved main characters? What are those eyes it has? Well, let’s have a look, shall we?

This is Aeris, new member (Hi!!), and very proud of it! I’m German, so some phrases or sentences may sound a little bit awkward, just so that you’ll understand why, if it comes to this.

The Juubi and its Host.

So, here we see it. The Juubi with a single, but most certainly totally IMBA eye, and its host with his key ring wand. Let’s take a closer look at those eyes:

Three, six, nine tomoes on three circles: Voilà, the Sharin'negan!

Here we have it, displayed as Tobi’s Mugen Tsukuyomi, the state where he will have his eyes projected onto the moon. Of course, we all see that it is a mixture of the Rin’negan and the Sharingan, I dubbed it the Sharin’negan. But the Sharingan has only three tomoes, doesn’t it? Why does this eye have nine of them? a) We’ll see that later on, b) maybe because it would look really silly if there were only three on the inner ring.

Until now, we all think that the Rikudou Sennin had the Rin’negan himself, because it was always said like this. But my theory is based on the following: Rikudou does not ONLY have the Rin’negan, but the same eyes as the Juubi! A prove for a Bijuu’s attribute passing over to its Jinchuuriki are the whiskers on Naruto’s cheeks. So maybe, in some way, the Rikudou Sennin had the Sharin’negan as well after he became the Juubi’s host.

The Rikudou Sennin had two sons. One who believed that power was the key to peace, and one who believed that love was the key to peace. The “power son” had descendants that formed the Uchiha clan, and the “love son” had descendants that formed the Senju clan.

The "Senju son" and the "Uchiha son".

The son that eventually would form the Uchiha clan definitely inherited the Sharingan from his father and passed this on via DNA to every descendant. However, not each Uchiha child is born with the Sharingan, you have to activate it, a striking event must occur so that it activates itself.

Now, what if the son that eventually would form the Senju clan inherited simply the other dou jutsu, the Rin’negan?

This would mean first of all that Nagato needed to be a scattered Senju descendant. But why not? Nagato always talked about peace, that he hated and detested war, that he couldn’t stand it and that he wanted to live in a world with no war at all. But he was not strong enough in his heart. The civil war with Hanzou Salamander showed him one of his two pains, and sadness overwhelmed him. “And sadness leads to sorrow, sorrow leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to the Dark Side of the Force.” Yeah, Nagato definitely turned to the Dark Side, to Akatsuki. But how did his life end? He turned to the good guys again, being convinced by Naruto. And how could he have achieved that if the Will of Fire was not dwelling inside Nagato? I mean, Naruto is NOT Sailor Moon who can talk EVERYONE into becoming one of the good guys! (or is he?)

If the Senju clan had inherited the Rin’negan that would further have to mean that -same as the Uchihas- nearly everybody should be able to awaken it. But nobody did, as we saw. Well, maybe the Rin’negan is not that easy to activate because it has way more powers, that would only be fair .

But a better explanation is this one: How should the Senju KNOW about their legacy? This info is written on the ancient stone table and you can only read it with Mangekyou Sharingan, Sharingan and Rin’negan all together.

The ancient stone tablet in the Uchiha hideout.

The Uchihas and the Senjus are destined to be enemies all their lives, so how could the Senjus even get near the stone tablet? And even IF a Senju once stood before it: as Tobi said, the info about the Rikudou Sage’s secrets can only be discovered if the table is read with MS, S and Rin’negan together. So even the Uchiha didn’t know that.

Okay, that the original Senju son totally sucked at passing down this secret to his sons is a complete lack of intelligence, but maybe he didn’t know either.

Remember my a) and b) choice in the beginning? “Why does this eye have nine of them? a) We’ll see that later on.” I’m pretty sure that all your jaws will drop open to your table or at least to the floor beneath you when you see this picture that comes from chapter 400, page 16:

Well well, what do we have here?

WTF, a second circle????? (Credits for spotting this image go to Ninjason, a user from the German Naruto wiki.) Holy shit, what is THAT supposed to mean? Easy, in my opinion: There will come the time when Sasuke evolves, develops a second circle in his Sharingan AND three additional tomoe, so that he would have six in total by this time. I mean, this image can no way be a mistake! Or can it?

If my theory is correct, the Senju clan inherited the legacy of the Rin’negan. The Uchiha clan possesses the legacy of the Sharingan.  Plus, we have Sasuke linked to the Juubi’s eyes via Sharingan. Hmmmm, who is missing now….? *thinking thinking thinking* The rest goes without words and is to be interpreted by you.

Chapter 462, Tobi to Naruto:

This is only the second time we’ve met, but I can tell the fire of the Senju clan dwells within you. I can see the first Hokage in you. Though dead, he still lives on.

Fate?
