ANYWAYS, wrong blog but, as I was re-reading the manga, I noticed that s.asori didn't even use his 298 human puppets in the fight against c.hiyo and s.akura, he only used 100, that is taking only the manga into consideration where its noticeable that he still has 2 scrolls left to use attached to his back, and assuming each of the last 3 scrolls contain 100 puppets each /as the one he released was the one from where he summoned the 100 puppets he used in the fight/ (the last scroll would only be missing two puppets to complete the last hundred which would have been c.hiyo and s.akura probably) and this paired up with the fact that he could have avoided the final attack by the mother and father puppets makes me think that he really wasn't giving up his full potential (which is something that lit chiyo says) but it just makes me think that there's even more details to add to that reasoning;; now the reasons why he just basically let himself be k.illed can be argued, but one thing for sure is that he definitely had more tricks under his sleeve that he just willingly decided not to use (be it out of pride/underestimating his opponents, or something leaning on the very small bit of humanity left on him & the reason he is an 'incomplete' puppet in the poetical sense)
#;ooc#;headcanons#when i was little i thought it was so unfair that they got rid of him so quickly; but now i can see more sides to it#not only the whole 'he let himself be k.illed' but also the teamwork of c.hiyo and s.akura; looking at it now as im older#i can understand it better; i mean i still think that fight should have lasted 475456895 ages but realistically speaking#theres so many drawings u can include in a volume until ur forced to keep publishing the main storyline#what defeated him was something more thematic; the teamwork; the deep reliance c.hiyo and s.akura were able to form#something that goes completely against s.asori; of relying on others#i love this one video that pointed this out bc its so true; its not a matter of quantity vs quality when it comes to their fight#bc s.asori did n o t just go around turning anyone and everyone he faced into puppets; he clearly states that the ones he makes#come from strong individuals / his puppets are of very very high quality#or like how in the ps3 game he mentions after getting rid of a village how there was 'barely anyone' he could use as material#ANYWAYS!!the point is that even with this advantage; what s.asori lacked was the teamwork aspect; his puppets acted individually#compared to c.hiyo & s-akura's teamwork and c.hiyo's 10 puppets that worked in cooperation#and how this reflects the contrasting growth of grandma and grandson#s.asori not relying on c.hiyo after his paren'ts death#and c.hiyo having this same mentality when it comes to other villages and people#but then growing to trust others; rely on others#meanwhile s.asori kept to himself all the time#puppetry themes my beloved...#the first scroll was used for the fire abilities#in the anime; he wastes a second one to use water; but this doesn't happen in the manga originally#and i think it makes more sense to me#bc like;; why wouldnt he just release all his 298 puppets??#i just summ up the firs scroll with water and fire#and the last 3 are the 300 (actually 298) puppets; each scroll having 100 puppets#anyways he's super cool; like c.hiyo was famous for her technique to use a puppet with each finger but#s.asori can use 1 0 0 and i like to think; could use the 300 as well#and all that chakra is contained in that small lil tube containing basically his soul
