So why did Itachi mindrape Sasuke and kept making his life a misery up until his death?

So why did Itachi mindrape Sasuke and kept making his life a misery up until his death?

He massacred the Uchiha because he "had to", but what was the excuse to his treatment of Sasuke?

don't give it too much thought, it was an unplanned retcon by kishimoto because he's a low-IQ faggot.

Who gives a fuck?
It's time you move on.

how is it an unplanned retcon you smooth brain

Itachi's reason for killing the uchiha, yet also sparing Sasuke was always left as a mistery waiting to be explained later

Kill yourself narutard.

dont uchitards get stronger with hatred so he wanted saske to be stronk?

And the explanation was shit because it contradicts many of his actions. If he loved Sasuke there was no need to put him under a torturous genjutsu at ages 6 and 12, or tell him to betray everyone he loves in order to acquire the power to beat him

my guess is that he was initially a villain but kish changed it later on.

calling it retconning is still retarded
he clearly intended to expand on this idea even if he didn't know yet how

Same reason he used it on Kakashi, had to accomplish the goals of
>incapacitating with killing or seriously bodily harm
>staying in character as to how he's viewed, an incredibly dangerous and cruel rogue ninja

Popular theory but Kishi has stated he had decided Itachi was going to be revealed as a good guy all along from this arc.

He wanted Sasuke to get strong (and get the MS if posible) not because he wanted to “protect” him or some retard shit like that Kishi would try to sell us in the future.

Originally Itachi wanted Sasuke to awaken his MS because he knew he would go blind, and he wanted a quality eye replacement to awaken the Eternal Magenkyou Sharingan

This makes way more sense than the explanation we got and explains the shit about “you lack hatred” and “kill your best friend” way better

Why did he paint his nails?

Because he was part of an early 2000s emo punk band.

when did he said it? because if it was after the fact it doesn't proof much.

No, Kishi has said Itachi was planned to be a good guy at this point.
You nigs tend to lose the forest for the trees. Let's say Itachi was evil and his goal was an MS replacement. Why pin all of his hopes on Sasuke when anything might happen to Sasuke?
Traumatizing Sasuke to the point he gets put into a coma also works at cross-purposes for the sake of getting a new set of MS - unless Itachi knows for sure someone can heal him or that he will wake up eventually. But then, this knowledge also works against the criticism of good Itachi, so its a catch-22.

It was after the fact but that still builds more evidence than the opposition, who only have headcanon to support them.

>why did Itachi mindrape Sasuke and kept making his life a misery up until his death?
bad writing

>Why pin all of his hopes on Sasuke when anything might happen to Sasuke?
who else can he pin all his hopes?

sure, it is just bad writing then.

Nigga was literally carrying around Shisui's eye
To an extent, yes

He thought it would be funny.

>Nigga was literally carrying around Shisui's eye
Why do you speedread the series you're defending?
For EMS it had to be sibling's eye.

>Nigga was literally carrying around Shisui's eye
so sasuke wasn't his only hope?

just a prank bro

>was literally carrying around Shisui's eye
in his crow

Thats an anime implication, its never explicitly said in the manga.

pretty sure the writer changed his mind about itachi half way in.
but I think the narrative is "enduring hardship makes you strong"

Also I'm not defending it per se, just setting the record straight. Naruto fanbase is like the boy who cried retcon. Y'all cowards need to learn what a retcon actually is

and killing your best friend

Kishi can't write

Meant for
That EMS requires a siblings eye is not canon

You try writing a story that spans a decade without having any plot holes.

Shut up.
