is asuma that guy with chakra knuckles?

well if he gets airtime it means he will be involved somehow at sometime.. and its not like he never showed up before.. during the chuunin exam he was shown pretty often. and i like his weapons. he's a tru taijutsu ninja in my opinion.

he's a minor character but so is Ten-Ten and Ino, however they got their time in the openings too didn't they? so who cares.. as i said that he shows up in the opening only means that he will fight in the next episodes.

if the next episodes are fillers as many people say this would make perfect sense. but who knows if he doesn't have a role in the anime now its not the first time that a minor character gets involved in the main story for a short amount of time.
