Chapter 411
Chapter opens with Sasuke approaching 8-Tails, who appears to be throwin' up gang signs. Juugo is standing again for some reason. Oh, so is Suigetsu. Before the actual fight, they spend about 3 pages whining about how they have to sit through the guy's rapping. Nevermind the fact that you both just got your butts handed to you, that rapping is just too friggin' annoying!
Sasuke turns his arm into a sword. Oh, I guess he's just drawing it. Lame. Would've made him 13% less fail if he turned his arm into a sword. He says he wants to test and see if the tailed beasts are really all that. Yo, your arch rival is one! This idiot doesn't pay attention to anything! Oh, and Karen is once again fangasming over every bit of clichè dialogue issuing from Mary Suechiha's mouth. And then she badmouths the black guy. This woman has all the class of Tacky the Penguin.
Sasuke swings. Battle begins. It's a swordfight, so there's not much to see. There is, however, one thing I found both informative and hilarious that can only be conveyed through a picture:
Zabuza's sword is made of cardboard. Commence epic laughter.
Anyway, Sasuke proceeds to epically fail as 8-Tails dodges while writing down lyrics for his mad rhymes which he will probably proceed to bust later. Sasuke, meanwhile, returns Suigetsu's sword. 8-Tails suddenly busts out his own blades. Suigetsu yells to Sasuke, warning him that this foe is both skilled with a blade and no ordinary ninja.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.
8-Tails basically turns himself into a sawblade at this point. Sasuke has to bust out his shenanigans so his pale, pasty cave skin doesn't get all scarred and no longer smooth. Icky. Anyway, he activates his Chidori sword at this point. Somehow, 8-Tails manages to block it to everyone's surprise and my amusement. He then drops a famous line. "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!"
Get it? 'Cuz he's black. And he's the "Killer Bee."
On the plus side, this last page seems to depict Sasuke with several swords in several vital areas. I probably shouldn't get my hopes up, though.
