Who else here loves Greg's posts about Naruto? I know I do.
I love all his posts.
And yeah, him being pissed is pretty much the status quo.
Robby… is your avatar Ogo from Kiskaloo?
More or less. Its from the concept art of American Dog, which became bolt… that Chris Sanders then turned into his webcomic. So yes, probably, but maybe not exactly.
THAT BONE GUY WAS QUITE POSSIBLY THE COOLEST MANGA VILLAIN I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST SIX YEARS AND HE BLATANTLY AVOIDS HIM!?
To be fair, Kabuto didn't like Bone guy. And also, bone guy is the one villain in the series that was undefeated. Naruto army, Drunk Lee and Gaara combined couldn't take him out, and then he died… of natural causes?
So the fact that whatever natural thing killed him... naturally... might be a legitimate reason for keeping him out. Plus, the guy didn't have cheap ressurection techniques, so Nauto's uber rasengans would probably 1HKO him at this point, and that would be incredibly lame.
I'm sure Kishi isn't being that rational, and its more a case of he just forgot bone dude exists. But so it goes.
I wouldn't mind Haku and Zabuza coming back either.
Maybe it'll be a suprise later.
Along with Jiraiya still being alive.
And Naruto having amnesia in regards to Hinata's confession.

stop reminding me.
OMG, Guilty Gear! I just picked this game up the other day… Coolest fighter I've played in a while.
Having a ton of music references and, in particular, a character named Zappa helps .

Actually, I do remember Kishi bringing him up in the story a little while ago. I think it was around the time Sasuke was recruiting Jugo for Team Snake. Eh, but he may have forgotten about him between now and then.
Anyway, I did like Kimimaro, but him dying of his disease was just gay (yeah Lee, you can bullshit us all you like with that whole luck=skill garbage, I'm still not convinced).
Bone guy freaking MADE Naruto.
Kishimoto has always rocked with villain designs and ideas…beyond...you know....THAT....but the bone guy was his pinnacle achievement.
So question.
With this bringing back shit.
Are they puppets? Or are they really back to life?
Cause don't get me started on what that means for Sasori.
Meh .
The bone guy was really badass. The way he pulled that bone sword out of himself. shudders I saw that in the anime over a year or two ago and I STILL remember that. Definiteley kishi's best villian.
The bone guy is just lying in wait, and will slaughter everyone in the last chapter.
So question.

According to what we saw of the Edo Tensei in Part 1 during the Third Hokage/Orochimaru fight, how it works is that you sacrifice a living person in order create a replica of a deceased ninja. The replica has all the powers and, I think, memories of the original person. The bodies themselves are composed of ash and dirt that are wrapped around the sacrifice.
So to answer your question, they're puppets. The Akatsuki have, technically, not truly been brought back to life.

I looked up the jutsu on the Naruwiki a bit back to gauge the level of bullshit that we should be in for. Apparently, they're random corpses given the powers of dead people and covered in dirt for the appearance. By all logic, this means Sasori should not be a puppet anymore, but this is Kishi logic we're dealing with. He'll probably just change up the entire ability to fit his needs.
Edit: Ninja'd! In a Naruto thread… Never would have expected it...
I looked up the jutsu on the Naruwiki a bit back to gauge the level of bullshit that we should be in for.
Speaking of bullshit via this jutsu, I wanna know how exactly it's determined WHO you can bring back with this jutsu. Outside of the simple answer of "whoever Kishi decides on a whim to bring back". Like is there some limit stopping Kabuto from reviving whoever he damn well feels like? Hidden for Greg's sake:
! Based on the spoilers I can forgive this not being explained yet for some attempted buildup on the last coffin's contents, but I think it'd be best to explain it eventually from a writer's standpoint to justify whatever "twists" Kishi has planned.

ell your main question has already been answered twice, so I'll just comment on this.
Do you mean That! or Thaaaat, or "that"? I mean "that jutsu" and "THAT jutsu" are completely different after all.

Well, since Kabuto's 'advanced it', I assume he can and will revive anything

It's an interesting fighter, to say the least. I was first exposed to the series' music recently and fell in love with it. Dizzy's Theme = Best of all time.
So, I also downloaded Grandia off the PSN today. Great game! I was playing non-stop… until I got to the FUCKING Ghost Ship.
Seriously, what the fuck is with game designers and their massive hard-ons for Ghost Ships??? They're generic as fuck, repetitive, depressing, and just plain dumb.
Only Ghost Ships I have EVER enjoyed were Shadow Hearts and Final Fantasy VI, partly because the latter wasn't a Ghost Ship but a Ghost Train!

I believe he was referring to Deidara since he earlier expressed his distaste for him.

The one that needs no introduction.
The one whose name has become legend amongst series detractors.

The only good thing to come from Naruto these days is people making fun of it.
~~Oh my god.. I need to go get those pants for all of my female friends. There is no way in hell..
I'm coming with you Zkaiser.~~
I knew there was NO WAY their asses were that fine.

Even I'm confused, wtf are you talking about.
The series uses forbidden "that" jutsus all the time. To hype up a technique, increase tension or just keep it mysterious, a character will ominously refer to it as "that" jutsu, without actually saying its name. So instead of going "You're not going to use the c8 jutsu are you?" or "you're not going to use the twin wolf fusion jutsu are you?" a character will instead ask "You aren't going to use THAT jutsu, are you?"
This happens so often its ridiculous. Just last chapter they mentioned "that" jutsu. Its so common and repeated I'm kind of amazed I have to explain it.
Since there's about 80 "that" jutsus, (which can range from Naruto's fox mode,Naruto's Rasengan, Narutos WIND Rasengan, Sage Mode, to Lee's gates unlocking to Gaara going insane to Deidara blowing himself up, t resurrecting the dead, etc.) I figure they have to be distinguished by pronouncing "that" different. And Greg mentioned "that" character, which in the context of Naruto, comes out to about the same thing.
I was refering to, of course, the ultimate 'villain' of the series.
Oh. "That" character. Got it.
Seriously, what the fuck is with game designers and their massive hard-ons for Ghost Ships??? They're generic as fuck, repetitive, depressing, and just plain dumb.
I can handle Ghost ships… but the worst environment in videogame history would have to be fucking SEWER Levels!!!
fuck I hate sewer levels!
-they have this crappy brownish color. barley anything nice to look at
-depressing
-LONG
-seriously i really mean long. Like the designers said "hey let's have a sewer maze. With a ton of winding paths that ALL LOOK THE FUCKING SAME".
-Repeated textures. Usually used as a cheap way to lengthen a game.
-Often times made longer due to there being a river of poo water that separates the tunnel... thus having the player guide the character down one of two paths on either side of the tunnel. complete with a dead ends that force you to go back and cross that bridge you missed down the way. (idiot!!).
-made ALL THE WORSE if you have random battles
-Monsters suck. nothing cool. Always poison, rats, poison rats, or amphibian based. Always many.
-barely any story. Nothing happens in a sewer... like seriously... would the heroine think "maybe i'll reveal my love towards [main character]?" NO not in a fucking sewer!! Often, it's usually a means to an end. "Hey we need to go here. We'll take the SAFE way through the sewer." God!! WHy?
-There ARE exceptions to the suckage of sewer levels. Resident Evil often does them well, since they are planned into the narrative of the damn game. and I'm sure people can think of more
mine levels are also pushing it…
I knew there was NO WAY their asses were that fine.

I don't know how FF13 didn't drive you to murder everyone you hold dear Gekko!
Oh no3s! My little brother is reading Naruto!!
He's still on Pt1, but I worry for him when he gets to Pt2!!
Haven't played a proper sewer level in ages, I'd almost blotted them from my memory.
I HATE GODDAMN SEWER LEVELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know how FF13 didn't drive you to murder everyone you hold dear Gekko!
cause the whole time I was glad it wasn't as bad as FF12.
seriously… nothing but sewers, mines, and forests and temples (that felt like sewer levels)
that whole fucking game is one giant sewer level.
luckly for ff13, the story and pacing helped a bit.
but they snuck a few in there... thinking their clever and everything.

There's one fun sewer level.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Hearing "Sewer Surfin'" as the background music was awesome.

Yes well, when the leads live in the sewer there will be exceptions.
This game had a sewer level or two. But they mixed it up by having junk on the ground you picked up.. that would sometimes trigger a monster.
Also annoying? Caves. With goddamn bats.

If you need a guide and translator (Spanish IS my native tongue), we COULD visit Puerto Rico too :P
Just sayin'
drinks some tea
Chrono Trigger and Xenogears had sewer romps.
and honestly, those were the lowest parts of the game for me. Even though I really loved how the story picked up in Xeno during the Kislev "arc" of sorts. But there was sewer sneaking to be had….
....gah!
[edit] i'd hire you as a booty guide for me Rican.
::imagines traveling through jungle with Rican leading with a machete, cutting a path. I of course am decked out in safari gear… with an elephant gun. and ROLLED UP SLEEVES::
"MEESTER Gekko. you should not smoke... it will attract the locals... they will be angry"
"let them come... if this cigar is put out or harmed. This forest will be cleared and turned into a giant movie theater parking lot... in a day"
"where will the movie theater be?"
"You don't need to worry about that"
Chrono Trigger's sewer level only lasted about ten minutes as well. Less if you didn't intentionally trigger the monsters.
@robbybedfart:

Or goddamn snakes made of rocks, or goddamn moles, or goddamn living rocks with muscles, or goddamn Golbats…
Ah,yes, those blasted sewer levels >_>
That's one trope that even Final Fantasy can't avoid. (There was only one ghost ship in FF, two if you count the train)
FF3 had those pointless sewers in Amu. You could've easily gotten the damn key in town somewhere >>
FF7 only had a very small sewer level, that was immediately followed by a Ghost-Ship-esque locale >> Then again, much of the first chunk of the game was sewer-esque…
FF8: End of Disc 1 = torture
FF12: >_>
FF13: Palumpolum was fun. No complaints here.
Did somebody say facemelting?
