Itachi was meant to be cold-blooded and evil but then Kishi changed it

Such an edgelord design

I kinda of wish the had just gone with Itachi just really hated his fellow Uchiha as it seemed at first for the reason why he wiped out his own clan.

He looks like he has hangover

He still could have cared about his brother, but ultimately been consumed by the evil in their blood making him choose him for his replacement eyes as a fucked up honor.

Reminder that he did all that because he inherited the Will of fire, Konoha's creed that "A Shinobi is one who endures", which was why Sasuke described Itachi as the true Hokage, enduring more than anyone in the village, and directly gave him the idea to be Ninja Atlas, enduring ALL the world's darkness as the designated villain so nobody else would have to fight and die.

So in the end the philosophies became "I can endure everything for everyone so they don't have to" vs "We can get through it by enduring it together."

>Anally fucks his younger brother with Tsukuyomi
>bros he's a good guy I swear

Sasuke had to be one of the most retarded antagonists ever written
>lol I want to kill my brother
>lol I love my brother fuck konoha
>lol never mind I want to be the hokage

he was justified all the way until
>lol never mind I want to be the hokage
what the fuck was that even.
oh right, hack writing

The last part was actually good because he realized what exactly his brother died to preserve and how fucked everything was in their part of the world before the village. At the same time, he wasn't going to let it go without "revolution", by force if necessary and knew from his own experiences how exactly to manipulate the masses hatred.

Sasuke finally became a good character.

You have to be one of the stupidest fucking people if you don’t see why he had a paradigm shift through each ark of his life.

Didn't this shonen end half a decade ago? What's the point of making daily threads about it, without missing a day, as if in a campaign to make the board more and more unbearable?

>sasufag calling other people stupid
Oh the irony.
This is why you're still a virgin btw.

I mean, that's what made him interesting in the first place.
>here he is the guy who slaughtered the Uchiha clan!
>"hmmm you guys, please stand aside, I don't want to kill you, though I totally could, I'm a badass like that"

>lol I want to kill my brother
"My brother murdered my entire family for an extremely petty reason. I've gotta avenge them."
>lol I love my brother fuck konoha
"So it turns out my brother murdered my entire family because they planned an insurrection that would lead to a massive civil war and huge amounts of death, and he was ordered to by Konoha's leaders, and then crucified by the law he obeyed. Fuck all those chickenshit bastards in the Leaf, Itachi didn't deserve that."
>lol never mind I want to be the hokage
"So even after being revived and with nothing to lose Itachi still decided to serve Konoha. I don't get it, they betrayed him and yet still he serves them. So I asked an old pal to revive the past dead Hokages, and I asked them what the village and Hokage means to them. They said a shinobi is 'one who endures', and they wanted to create a place where kids didn't have to grow up to die in wars and watch their siblings all get killed around them, a place where kids can have fun playing with friends. So I think I understand why Itachi did what he did, and I'm not gonna let all his work go to waste. I'll be a new kind of Hokage, one who'll endure everything from the shadows so people will put down their differences and fight me instead. That way there doesn't have to be any more wars and insurrections and kids and families dying."

He had already committed genocide

best answer. The last decision was the hardest decision. He endured as much as his brother by taking that burden

The real problem is that it's written like a clown fiesta. Sasuke is presented with life changing information at several times in the story in a completely unconvincing way, we don't meme about good guy itachi because he was such a good guy, we meme because it was fucking retarded.

How strong are Samurai actually? Because Tsubaki is stronger than the average genin but that doesn't necessarily mean she's actually any good. Is this a case where Samurai peak early?

naruto despite being shonen has some pretty pin point themes.
whoudda thunk?

This. There's nothing wrong with taking Sasuke's development and Itachi's deal at face value, as Kishimoto intended, but frankly I think the whole thing was disapointing and retarded. I liked these characters, I kinda still do, but I expected better, especially for Itachi.

Ninja techniques are essentially wizard magic so limiting yourself to signless sword beams and energy swords puts you at a disadvantage. You can probably get reasonably far, but when your opponents can teleport and drop meteors on armies you're on an uphill slope.

See, I figured that was the case but I didn't want to be presumptive when there are guys out there warping reality with basic kicks.
Like, I'm sure the Samurai don't have Eight Gates as a technique but they might have something in a same vein to allow them to keep up

Just give it a couple more years, it'll die down like DBZ.

>but when your opponents can teleport and drop meteors on armies
Shippuden was a fucking mistake
