Okay, so there is this big hullaballoo because Kakashi is dying apparently. He is seen blacking out and then having vision-like dreams about meeting his father in the afterlife (???). Some people are freaking out - but I am not one of that number... why?
Because...
1. Kakashi is a main character. Kishimoto would be nuts to kill him off so easily. He would lose a large part of his fanbase.
2. Kakashi is still unexplained. There is no way a good author could leave a character so unfinished. There are still so many things to be explained. Such as...
- What happened to Rin?
- What is up with the Hatake family?
- How important is the white chakra anyway?
- How did Kakashi get the Mangekyou Sharingan?
- Where was he before, during and after the Kyuubi incident?
- Will he become Hokage?
3. All of Kakashi's characters get to have massive long flashbacks before they die. Examples of this are: Haku and Zabuza, Orochimaru's lackey at the Chuunin Exam (and he wasn't even dying), Sarutobi, Kimimaru and Asuma. These are all SECONDARY characters - and they got quite a chunk of info before they died. This is because I think Kishimoto really wants us to get attached to them before they die... or something like that. So how could he off Kakashi so easily when there has been no adequate flashbacks?
4. Why would Tsunade cover him with a healing slug - if he wasn't dead already?
5. Kakashi's talk with his dad is too early to label as an afterlife talk. For all we know, it might be some kind of understanding or acceptance which might lead to some sort of powerup.
At any rate, I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
ReplyDeleteI don't think he's dead either! =D
Well, you never know but I agree it would be idioitic of Kishimishi to off him already. Though it is kinda cool that he dies to protect his comrades like his comrades dies to protect him but whatever. I'd probably boycott Naruto if Kakashi wasn't in it anymore... =) He's the reason I still atleast sporadically watches/reads it (how I HATE fillers!)
I hadn't thought of all the points you took up here but it gives me so much more hope that he'll be back again. =)
Oh by the way, the Bleach anime is aaaawesome right now! Flashbacks for the win! Urahara rules! =D
Really? I've not been keeping up with Bleach - because Byakuya is my personal fav... but I did watch the three episodes he WAS in... hahaha... Right now, I'm totally drooling over Kuroshitsuji~!!!
