if i talk about "practicality of char designs" than my first thought is the "practicality for the char in question", naruto with a sword in his mind wouldnt be able to talk, it would look silly since he doesnt use swords and it wouldnt look cool... and in that aspect, naruto and sasuke are practical, but that doesnt require much thinking in their designs (true, it is not easy to create unique designsfor chars but come on, the modes of sasuke and naruto are totally un-"thought out",

sasuke simply has some different eye pattern and a rinnegan with tomoe :/ naruto gets more symbols but all in all he is a shining light bulb, that doesnt require much thinking,

but effort, he definively put effort into it...

Symbolism? Naruto is filled with symbolism. Just look at his battle avatar, or the spiral theme recurring. I could devote a thread to Naruto and Sasuke's yin/yang theme, ranging from the jutsu they use to their story parallels. im only talking about their modes, narutos battle avatar doesnt fall under this, and his usual modes arent that symbolic aside from their obvious similarity to the TTJ-mode :/ Thekillman wrote: Also, what's the point about looking complicated? I have no idea what it has to do with the rest of the thread? i also dont, i simply said that i doubt that kishi put a lot of thought into the designs of the modes otherwise narutos modes wouldnt be so contradicting (like the plot of the manga), and suddenly it became another discussion :D

PS: you should make the "symbolism" thread, at least it would be another subject in order to keep this wiki alive :)
