Question on Chouji [Manga]
Well since i put manga in the title, im not going to bother with spoiler tags... Well anyways In the manga when chouji takes the last pill thing that gives him 100x his previous strength his appearance changes to a slimmer looking chouji. What im wondering if the way that he looks then will stay that way or if he will revert back to his old big-boned self?

I don't think it was ever stated in the manga (so I maybe wrong) but those pills he took are supposed to burn off extra fat in order to give a large charka boost. So assuming Chouji's not dead, whether or not he will regain that extra fat is depenant on himself to keep it off.

My prediction: Chouji will keep on getting skinnier and skinnier, his skin and fat literally falling off his bones at a tremendous rate, until eventually nothing will be left except a maggot-filled coffin. That's because he should be dead after taking the third pill.

Now as you said it is a shonen manga, so it's possible kishimoto will change his mind, but that's unlikely. Unless the sj editors try to pressure/bribe kishimoto because choji got a huge boost in the favorite character polls, he's dead and will remain so.

*sigh* As usual, the answer to most of the debates on this forums is we don't know yet. I, personally, hope he dies, because it would make the whole arc more powerful. I rather like it when main characters are killed, especially not in a stupid way.
I would say Chouji knows the effects of the pills better than Shika does, but we'll see when this arc is over. Soon, I hope. |

It seemed like he was dead, but I don't think we should jump to conclusions. I personally think him dying would add to it, but we won't know till we are told, yo. |

did some looking on japanese butterfly myths i saw that it was involved in two stories
in one represented the dead soul of a mans wife come to comfort him as he died in another represents the rebirth and regeneration, or a passage to growth sooo i think the symbolism could go either way |

Chouji looks better dead than when he was alive.
Like Veritas said, his death will make this arc more powerful. Especially if Sasuke is taken back to the Leaf Village. If he is taken back he'll have to deal with the fact that his actions caused the death of one of his fellow leaf nins. And there's also the issue over how Shikamaru will handle his death and whether or not he'll blame Sasuke for it. Then there's Ino, how will she deal with Chouj being dead? With Chouji dead, there will be a lot of ideas that Kishimoto can play with to further character and plot development. |
