I oftentimes find it really jarring when people who initially started out as villains became friends. If you think later in the series, can you imagine Kankurou saying this ever? You can say it's him maturing from a child into an adult, but honestly I think Kishimoto wanted to make Gaara's team seem like the fucking crazy-ass one. It's like when Ichigo initially went into Soul Society and realized how fucked up it was. There were pits where they made prisoners fight Hollows. Are we suddenly supposed to forget that shit now that Aizen is the bad guy? This is why Varia was awesome from Katekyou Hitman Reborn! They remained crazy fuckers all the way to the very end.

Man, I forgot how Temari started off wanting the cock.

Really, the moment you take off that green vest, the jounin/chuunin outfit looks like something I'd spend the day lounging around in and doing nothing.

Whenever I see this scene, I now only think about that conversation I had with Moham:

[13:35:14] Dun 4 Hire: Also, this ingraining Ezio's skills into Desmond thing doesn't make much sense.
[13:36:12] Dun 4 Hire: He can mentally have the skills, but I doubt he has the physical ability to climb up shit like Ezio and Altaïr have.
[13:36:21] Dun 4 Hire: 'Cause he's been a bartender who hasn't been training.
[13:36:33] Dun 4 Hire: It's like when Sasuke used the sharingan on Lee.
[13:36:40] Dun 4 Hire: He could see the moves coming, but he wasn't physically fast enough to stop it.
[13:36:59] gattsu456: I like how you're using Naruto in a logical argument.
[13:37:09] gattsu456: And Naruto's the one that got it right.
[13:39:50] Dun 4 Hire: Well, it was either that or a Harry Potter reference.
[13:39:53] Dun 4 Hire: And I couldn't think of one there.

Is this the only time the turtle shows up? I can't remember anymore. I fucking love this turtle, although admittedly only because he's on my favorite manga cover. Also, I'm glad the scanlations have gotten a better typesetter. Can they now get one who can spell?
