I've seen Kishi state Hiei was an influence for Sasuke but I've never seem him admit Kurapika is too. Is it because it's just too much blatant copying?
>>279750520 Because he is? He looks both feminine, wild and regal all at the same time. Kishimoto doesn't make very detailed faces but he is the best at drawing faces as far as Shonen is concerned. He understands the fundamentally subtle things that makes a face different from others.

>>279753124 Minato literally looks like a dimestore Sasuke but with a worse hairstyle and blue eyes. It's so obvious kishi based a bit of his design on Sasuke
>>279753251 >It's so obvious kishi based a bit of his design on Sasuke That's the most retarded cope posts I've ever read. >>279753311 >Sasuke has very striking eyes even without the sharingan. No, he doesn't, lmao.
>>279753548 >nardo self inserter seething You must be blind. No wonder you think generic ass minato looks more striking than Sasuke lol.

>>279753753 All of konoha 12 have distinct features that set them apart even if you make their eye color the same and put stock hair on top of their heads. Sasuke has a certain face type that others don't have>>279749382. A mix of the generic anime pretty boy and royal east asian look. Minato is not afforded the same privilege because he is a side character, added way later.
>>279755048 Pre-timeskip Sasuke was very babyfaced as was most of the cast. It doesn't surprise me.
Sasuke's hebi hairstyle also added to the femininity of his look. Post truth Sasuke has slight inugami vibes with the spiky bad boy hair which lessens the femininity, like here>>279754976 and >>279749824
Now a bit of anime pics just for contrast. The animation was up and down so the auraof kishi's artstyle wasn't always captured. Motion also doesn't help with kishi's style. Kishimoto is very good at perspective and angles, and Sasuke had more headshots throughout the series than any other character. Some of that is lost in the anime.
This shot was better in the anime though. In the manga it is only half shown
>>279752802 I don't know the context of Sasuke getting one permanent Rinnegan, but it's very ugly and it ruin's Sasuke's current design for me. Covering it with his hair is also ugly.
>>279758173 Kishi knew that a fem-suke was too powerful. He had to make him male to not make it a romance manga. He wrote so much gay shit for our sake...
>>279764799 out of your mind. everything people-wise in the part 1 anime looked better than in shippuden. everything became way too plain and rigid afterward.
