Killer bee is rad, I think I actually do like him more than the Raikage because he writes songs in the middle of fights. I just enjoy the campiness of the guy. Itachi is rad, too.
Yeah, I think "Sasuke gets the easy power-ups cuz he sold his soul to the devil" was supposed to be one of the themes. The annoying thing is that every so-called drawback gets thrown out because "he is Sasuke the genius." The cursed seal was nothing for him to use, the Orochimaru powers were at his beck and call, and Itachi handed him a Mangekyo Sharingan. He's already used that MS like 6-7 times in this fight without any real problems. The blood from the eyes looks more cool than painful at this point. Go figure.
The original themes were "hard work pays off" and "fate isn't absolute," but those don't really hold true anymore. Neji was right. Naruto is the destined child, son of the 4th, and has a beast with infinite chakra tucked away inside him. He's destined for stardom. Naruto will beat the fate Madara talked about...but that's only because fate already decided something else for him. His dad even took Madara into account in setting his boy up for victory. Rock Lee was the best representation of hard working aside from Naruto but he doesn't have the genes, eyes, or beasts to make him truly great. All he got for his troubles was broken limbs, life-threatening surgery, and an off-panel fight with himself. What a shame.
I think it's been said in this thread already, but imo the author is a hack writer. In part 1 he was not bad, but part 2 is weak as a story. I only read it for the nice artwork and interesting character designs, and because I read it for so long that I want to see it through. Oh, and most importantly, because it's free. I'd drop it in a heartbeat if it wasn't free.
