Just those two as kids again. I really like to draw them in this simplier style sometimes, especially as children. It suits their silly vibes.
Something I really liked about seeing Hashirama's and Madara's childhood, or, perhaps more accurately, a glimpse of it, was how it humanised them. Like, we see Madara throwing meteorites at people and being badass as hell, glazing Hashirama all the while, of course, and only after all of that do we get Hashirama’s flashback.
And it's almost comical to see this shift, a young Madara struggling to skip stones, a kid who acts so human and so much like a child. Although we are quickly reminded of their reality and the war torn era they live in, forcing them to dehumanise themselves, this glimpse does show the person behind the name Madara and the power it holds.
Alright, I'm done ranting, have a good day.
