Unconfirmed spoilers:

Spoiler:
Danzo fights Sasuke for a little bit, mostly dodging. Then Sasuke questions him about the massacre, and Danzo reveals that the sharingan in his arm are eyes from members of the dead Uchiha clan, including Sasuke's own father. Gaining them was the real reason for the massacre, which not even Itachi or Madara knew. Then he reveals Shisui's eye and says he'll destroy Sasuke.

Damn...... Now I actually want

Spoiler:
Sasuke to win

I suppose we'll have to disagree for now, seeing as there's currently no way to confirm whether or not those Sharingan are regular 3 tomoes or 'modified' 3 tomoes. I still think they are regular ones, just not drawn with the proper details.

And, I did draw one. Much better one, IMO.

In the eye details perhaps. Those don't even look circular 313

Doesn't he draw by hand though? By hand, I think it would be quite hard if not impossible to draw such thin slits.

i love danzou now.

dude goes from butthurt "i wish i wuz teh hokage 😒 " geezer to guy who is so phucking cold hearted, spiteful, and calculating that he is the real reason (or major instigator) to the decimation of an entire ninja clan, just so he can ice out his wrist.

all without emoting phuck all

kinda want him to be hokage for a while, give konoha a bloody mist era and some balls, we all know naruto needs some right about now

For sure. It would be a waste to kill him off now as he is a much more interesting villain than Oro or any of Akatsuki.

Being a better villain than Oro is debatable. Though this is about the only fight Sasuke deserves to really win and actually win not a plot device win, not that I really care what way it goes unless someone interesting shows up. Its going to suck if this fight turns out more interesting than Kisame/Bee. >.>

Yeah. That's most likely it.

This is true.

That was really the whole point. Showing what only 30 minutes of "Free hand" drawing would do, in friggin' MS paint.

That's because the arm is not being viewed perfectly perpendicular to length of the arm. The palm of the hand can be clearly seen, and, if I had continued the drawing, the angle on the arm would be seen and the palm clearly visible (something that would not be able to occur had the arm been viewed perpindicular to the length). What that means: the eyes would be longer from top to bottom/they would appear slightly oval.

I was under the assumption that it was done by a team of artists and he just writes the "storyboard" basically..with the dialogue and general outlines. Then, his storyboards are taken to the team and they draw it out. I thought this was how all "main-stream" Mangas were done...only because doing the writing and drawing for a manga in just a week's time would be impossible for a single person.

And, no, it would be MUCH easier to draw everthing I did, by hand. I could have gotten MUCH more detailed in a much shorter time period due to the friction of a pencil on paper, the angles, the definition due to a fine tip, etc. That's why I made it a point to indicate that I did all of that in 30 minutes in MS Paint. In fact, thinking about it, I might be able to draw that entire frame by hand in less than 30 minutes...with better detail. And I swear, dude, I am DEFINITELY below average in ability. If you asked the mod, Peach, to undertake that task, she might be able to get half the page done in 30 minutes AND have much better detail than I could do. (That's the difference between a good artist and a below average artist...when it comes to drawing these types of things.)

i think danzous a way worse villain that orochimaru is. danzou could be a good villain but not the way kishi writes him.

laughing Fair enough.

No no, just the two/three 'frontal' eyes that look like they are in a plane parallel to the plane of the page (i.e. we're looking at them directly from the top), at least in the original.

You are probably thinking of 'American' comics, where different people work on each section of the comic (Writing, Pencilling, Inking, Coloring)

Kishimoto does the story and the artwork. He must have the story planned out in advance, and probably even the art. So instead of drawing the chapter for the current week, he draws a chapter that will be released in the future.
Death Note was written by one guy, and drawn by another.

Yeah, you're right.
We'll have to wait and see what the deal is with those Sharingan, whether it's a faulty drawing, or whether those drawings do indicate that those Sharingan are not normal.

From what I heard from the Rurouni Kenshin guy, the general strategy is to draw it all by hand and then have assistants/interns draw repetitive things like clothing patterns. Death note used that as well since in the 13th volume he mentioned how the dice structures near built were a pain for the assistants to draw.

So I think it's a good bet Kishi did the whole sharingan thing himself.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Obata's (Death Note artist) assistants >__>.
Kishimoto hasn't mentioned that he has assistants though, not as far as I can remember.

EDIT: Nevermind, he has assistants. KK's probably right. He draws the characters and things that appear in the chapter, while they fill in the minor details.

Spoiler:
If those are true, then yeah, now I want Sasuke to win too.

I think it's pretty standard industry practice to use assistants. In fact most manga artists get their start apprenticing to another more popular one.

Why? Because there's a really evil villain, you want him killed off as soon as possible?

Amen. That would just be awful. And it wouldn't really make Danzou "that" evil considering that he has Konoha's best interests in mind. The Uchiha were planning a coup where he's planning on strengthening their defenses.

The manga is out on saiyanisland and mangastream sites

Well... my spoilers were wrong, but the chapter ended up being really similar anyway.

I didn't know what to expect that chapter... I was guessing it was a clone the whole time, but it was Kishi so I wouldn't have been surprised if he just tossed Danzo either. Thankfully it looks like Danzo might open up a can of pwnage for the first time in this manga.

I had faith in you 🙁

I said they were unconfirmed...

I should be focusing on more important things anyway like finals 😬
