Okay, now things are going to be interesting. As far as I'm concerned, this fight is the best thing to happen in the manga since er... a while... for a variety of reasons I'm not going to dwell about (but mostly have to do with the 'Uchiha = genjutsu masters' and 'Sasuke can has facial expressions!' themes) but this? Yeah yeah, cheap cliffhanger, can just as easily be genjutsu yadda yadda, but I don't care.
The chapter was great. How much more references to past events can you get? And everything was done so naturally, like it was just any other move. Flashbacks = NOT NEEDED. Everyone remembers Itachi walling Sasuke back in tome 17. (sidenote: the forehead poking move will never be the same again.) The thing with the shuriken <3.
Maybe it's because I read on the computer screen, but I thought some pages/images could've been more 'dynamic'. Then again, it's only a continuation of the contrast between how fast Itachi and Sasuke have repeatedly been shown to be, and how still/composed they show themselves (particularly Itachi, of course).
I'll be happy no matter the outcome.
Blind/missing-an-eye Sasuke would make Kakashi relevant again, not to mention screw him over severely re: not being good enough to beat Itachi. Again. And, if the last page was intended as misdirection and Sasuke jerked away, then it'll show that Sasuke has indeed moved beyond the thirteen-year-old boy who fucked his life over because his brother told him to, and that'd be great too.
None of which answer the question why Itachi seems not to mind that he's not going to get the Mangekyou with Sasuke's eyes. Also, I want to know more about how much every other Uchiha, and especially the boys' parents, knew about the Mangekyou/let's tear one's sibling's eyes out thing.
:D
