Dunno if this has been discussed here before, but whatever... I asked why the black male characters have white/blond hair (i was wondering if it was just a contrast thing) and someone tried to convince me that they aren't black at all, but just really tanned Asian people.

Any thoughts on that or on the hair color?

since there are fish-men walking around as well, and nobody seems to be alarmed by their teeth/skin, it's not really something that can be defined

They have builds and facial structures much more associated with black people.

They're black and they definitely aren't asian. They just have different distribution of hair color than in RL*, but it should be noted, there are blond black people in real life. Like for example, check out this kid from the Solomon Islands, where it's normal.

*Probably because it's more visually interesting when drawn in a B&W series, contrast like you say.

This is a world where Sakura having pink hair is perfectly normal.

😂

i guess when you have giant animals and tailed beasts walking around, fish-men and plant-men aren't all that weird.

i figured the same. It was apparent to me that they were meant to be black the very first time i saw Bee... no way all those characteristics/features are a coincidence.

....

Well, suddenly I know where Kisame came from.

well, thailand, philippines, etc have people who are passable for black anyway, so it's not necessarily like, american black. killerbee is modeled after raven from tekken 6, though, and he's into hip-hop and all that, but he's almost an anomaly within his villain on that note

"buakaw" por. pramuk, muay thai legend from thailand as an example of what i was saying:

Shut the **** up.

He will be the strongest character thus far.

Comment from way back when Tobi-as Madara- faced down the Kage.

Ironic isn't it?

it is indeed.

ironic even more if Tobi loses while Madara wins since they were once believed to be the same person. given that they have now figured out how his jutsu works, this actually is possible.

chapter is out

tobi is obito. So surprising right guys

I was about to beat the crap out of you.

Thankfully, his mask was not taken off today.

He pretty much confirmed it though, didn't he?

He got the Sharingan at the fight. So it's certainly Obito's eye.

But I don't know...something just feels off. Kishi is dropping some pretty obvious hints that he is Obito but dragging it out in a manner not unlike what he did with Madara escaping the Edo Tensei release.

Sakura: "Keep up will ya?"

Unless he really is just trolling us, he is making it very obvious. Will he try to sweep the rug out from under us? I don't know, but right now Obito is the most likely choice.

Eh, who knows? Kishi can be pretty unpredictable at times.

I like Tobi. He is good villain.

Me too, reading though that chapter reminded me of how awesome he can be.
