It's Inverted Fate's 8th anniversary today. I wish I could say we had big reveals and activities planned, but we've all been rather busy, and I have RL obligations that make an anniversary movie night less than feasible today. I may post some other things later, depending on what we have to share that isn't too spoilery.
For now, enjoy a music. I thought this track was appropriate to share today. Additionally, all of the Rift chapters are now available to view on the website! ...I may have announced this before, but I am not sure.

A message from Oda and the Final Saga
"When I was a child, I thought "man I would love to draw a manga with the most hyped final stage!" I wonder if I am up to it?
Now, we only have left a tiny bit of Wano arc and the preparations are almost done. It took me 25 years, haha!
That being said, it is fine if you start reading from here on because it will be all about... THE ONE PIECE!!
I'll be drawing all the mysteries of the world! It's gonna be super interesting! Fasten your seatbelts, and ...
Please stay with me for a little bit longer!!!
Eiichiro Oda ~
Oda... 😪❤

Volume 39 is 184 pages long...
so starts with 387 and most likely ends with Ch 398 - Toshinori Yagi: Rising/Origin (that's 161 pages with current count)
Though I think it's possible some of the extreme short chapters will get some extra pages.
I'm personally hoping for a new double spread in Ch 390 - Todoroki Shouto: Rising, which had no double.
The title is still a tough cookie, as it has both Shouto and All Might Rising, and is most likely to get an Uraraka cover. We'll see, I guess (but I'm devastated in advance that it's very unlikely we'll get Shouto Rising as the volume).

Hi, what did Sasuke mean by "That's probably just .. chains of a failed past that shes feeling" about Sakuras worse "confession". We also don't see his face when he's saying that. Cap 693
Hello! Firstly, I want to say I'm currently not into any Sasuke's f/m ships and I support but are not active for SNS and mainly NaruSaku. So this means I have not payed attention to SasuSaku that much in years, but I actually went onto reading that chapter rn and tried to analyse it as objectively as I could.
Let's begin with, at least on the translation I read, his words are "perhaps... Those are the ties to a failed past". We do see his face (half of it) as he says so and it seems to me there's both but coldness there.
But nowz the important. Context. Sasuke DOESN'T say this after Sakura's confession, what happened after her confession is this:
Cruel, isn't it? Next frame is this one:
And I know some people use this as a "proof" of Sasuke wanting to protect Sakura but he doesn't. To him it has none importance wether it was Sakura or someone else. There were, I believe, two reasons for him to to this. The first, he has always tried to kill as little people as possible, at least those who didn't explicitly deserve to die in his opinion, as we know he instructed his team before. It, ofc, doesn't mean he's actually in love with every person he prevent of being murdered one way or another, he simply avoids killing if not necessary. Whoever that is. The second reason is, and let's face it, the most important for him at that moment, that Sakura would be a nuisance if she followed him and Naruto. Sasuke put her under the genjutsu to stop her not to protect her, but to avoid being inconvenienced by her. And he finds it even laughable not to say hideous and annoying the idea of romance between Sakura and himself. He makes it clear, they have no reason to like and love (romantically) each other. Things is, Sasuke assumed it was romantic. But let's see the actual pages if the 'confession' and what led to it. Context, as always, matters.
As I said before, Sasuke mokes what he supposes are Sakura's romantic feelings for him, but as we can see here, until this moment the word 'romance' wasn't mentioned, there are many forms of love, and Sakura's speech seemed to me to be more about general love, about wanting his (and Naruto's) wellbeing and for this nightmare to be over. Furthermore, if we see how her facial expressions change little by little, from grief to fury, she says those words out of spite. She's angry at Sasuke for what he told to Naruto, for how he threatened Naruto. It's obvious Sakura worries for both of them and, specially, she feels powerless about Sasuke's hate that would lead him to kill even Naruto. She fears, let's say it like this, 'for Sasuke's sanity and integrity'. Because killing Naruto would be a point of no return, even for her. She knows that's the last chance, because she could no longer forgive Sasuke if he kills Naruto, whatever kind or intensity of love she feels for him.
Now, we finally have the page in which the words you mentioned are said:
As seen, those words are directed at Kakashi after he spoke on behalf of Sakura.
Now, let's notice that Kakashi, although he mentioned Sakura's love for Sasuke, wasn't mainly talking about romantic love either, but for love in general. He explicitly says Sakura isn't wanting to make Sasuke hers, she simply wants him to be safe. She wants the nightmare to be over. But Sasuke doesn't think about Sakura when he says 'perhaps those are the ties to a failed past'. He thinks about his family. He's making a parallel, not between Sakura and his family (as some like to say to 'prove' he considers her his family) but between Sakura and HIMSELF. He's basically saying Sakura is clinging to the hope of a past happiness, of what could have been but never was. 'A failed past'. He's saying Sakura is dreaming of something that could never happen, because what once was and were destroyed, won't ever be built the same again. As he once hoped for his life with his family be restored, as he suffered and grieved for the happiness he lost and came to understand that could never be returned to him. He's saying, implicitly, that Sakura needs to accept that the past they (team 7) had in common and that *for her* were times of happiness, will never come back. It was destroyed, gone, and never can come back to what it was. Sasuke is calling the b*llshit on Kakashi's words (and in a way taking off the blame Kakashi and Naruto are trying to put on him). He's saying Sakura's suffering doesn't come from 'loving him' but from being unable to let go of the past.
That's, at least, how I interpret what he meant taking the whole chapter in context.
I hope my answer was useful to you and sorry for the long post 😅.

Hello, everyone! As you all know, Sunday the first chapter of the last arc of Baby Steps is going to drop. I'm very eager to share it with you all. But I had a thought earlier this week and I have been wondering:
What are your predictions for the final arc of Baby Steps? What do you think is going to happen?
Let us know in the replies to this post or in the tags if you reblog it! I eagerly await your answers. :3
