Quote:Several possibilities, alone or in combination.
Makes sense. But that begs the question, what about Anko?
1.) As his student, she was around enough while he was designing the thing to realize what was happening - which would, in turn, make the basic effects much easier to ignore/resist.
2.) When he put -hers- on, he didn't have anything he wanted from her, and so failed to issue orders to the seal during the most critical period.
3.) As 2, but instead, he wanted something that was, for her, Absolutely Out Of The Question.
4.) Anko strikes me as the type to have a contrary streak a mile wide. Her probable reaction to a little devil sitting on her shoulder would seem to be to tell him to go fuck himself.
5.) Dumb luck.
6+) Several more possibilities that I had when I started the post but can't remember anymore.
(More on Anko - Yes, I think her published age is correct. Given what we've seen of Snake Face's interests, and the conversation between the two of them in the Forest of Death, that doesn't rule out a damn thing.)
Ja, -n
