SasuSaku - Seize The Day.
I spent so much time on this video... Trying so hard to perfect it and make the story behind it perfectly clear. Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favorite bands of all time. and Seize The Day has always been a song to put tears in my eyes. it took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. I've been planning this video in my head for a while now, and I'm so relieved that it's finally finished. Here's the story..
The first few seconds is just to let watchers know it's pure SasuSaku. The "Sasukekun" comes from episode 31, The, "Sakura" comes from episode 109.
It starts off with Sasuke, surrounded by darkness which shows that this AMV is incredibly depressing. Sasuke sad faces, and then it shows him thinking about Sakura. It shows Sakura being pushed away with blood pouring from her mouth, then Itachi. By now, the watcher should have guessed that Sakura was either hurt badly or has been killed. And then it shows both Sakura and Sasuke standing together and smiling, on the last beat, it's Sasuke standing alone and he turns around to see nothing. It instantly cuts to sad eyes. It shows a memory he has of Sakura and himself, and then more images of his sad eyes. Rain starts, Sasuke walks down the rainy path slowly and a big image of Sakura shows up and then more of Sad Sasuke.
Now the transition means that this is all flashback. Sasuke thinks back to meeting Sakura. Sasuke turns around to see Sakura's smiling face; And then it shows them walking together and just hanging out. Just letting the watcher know that they got close.
Tsunade says that Itachi has been spotted, and Sasuke surprised face. it shows Sakura's worried face looking at him. Sasuke runs out and looks at a picture of Sakura, and the picture turns into Itachi. This lets the watcher know that Sasuke's biggest goal is killing Itachi, and Sakura, for now, is being pushed aside.
The picture of Sasuke and Sakura that Sasuke flattens down, is a drawing by Samurai PET.
Sakura knows that Sasuke is leaving, but before he does, she goes to tell him to think twice about going and that she loves him. Sasuke tells her not to follow. Sakura watches him walk away, and she stands alone.
Sasuke stands on top of the hill by himself, behind him are images of Sakura. This is symbolizing that his happy life with Sakura is behind him. Sakura is at home thinking of Sasuke. The image of him turning to tell her not to follow appears, and she realizes that's just what she's going to do.
Sasuke stands behind Itachi. Sakura is at home packing and the lyrics are, "Will you, take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death." This is pretty much foreshadowing that Sakura is going after him and is probably going to die herself. Sasuke is pretty much getting his ass handed to him by Itachi, and then Sakura shows up. Itachi uses Mangekyo Sharingan to make Sakura see Sasuke being killed. She cries and falls to her knees. Sasuke see's this, gets up and attacks Itachi, but he once more gets his ass handed to him. Before Sasuke passes out completely, he hears Sakura calling for him. When he wakes up, it's too late. He picks up Sakura's injured body, and takes her to the hospital.
It's probably noticeable but since the song was so long I had to cut some off there.
Sasuke stands in Sakura's hospital room thinking of their past together. It then shows him running, and he thinks of when Tsunade told him that she's in a coma and she might never come out. It then shows Sakura sleeping, and Sasuke looking down at her. He's going after Itachi. Sasuke thinks about Sakura opening her eyes. suddenly Itachi is standing behind him. Sasuke thinks of how hurt Sakura was when he found her, and that gives him the courage to run towards Itachi. at the last second, Itachi uses Mangekyo Sharingan, and Sasuke now sees Sakura being injured by Itachi. he still fights. He powers up his Chidori, and Itachi runs towards him. Blood pours, and Sasuke wins. He runs to the hospital room, but when he gets there, he sees an empty bed. The nurse tells Sasuke that Sakura is dead, and her last words were asking for him. During this scene, it's a faint image of Sakura's hand falling. Which showed her letting go. When the nurse is telling Sasuke what her last words were, Sasuke looks up into the sky Like he's looking for her. Sasuke is suddenly walking down a path to her funeral, and during the walk he sees Sakura twice. Sasuke lays a flower on her casket, He looks up into the sky.
And that's when the flashback finally finishes. Sasuke is still looking into the sky, and then when he puts his head down, Sakura shows up in the distance. When he turns, she's already gone. look close enough, you can see a faint "SasukeKun" floating across the bottom, which is like her voice was light but still there.
That's where it ends. Ending credits are a scene I liked from episode 131. The song is from Sasuke's VA.
