The fact that we got Itachi for only a certain amount of episodes and he leaves such a huge impact on this anime is truly why he's one of the best characters in anime ever
Yeah coz before I started watching Naruto I already knew itachi everyone was talking about him so I thought he’s like one of the main characters and going to be on screen the whole show
Madara is merely Kaguya's puppet for revival. They also hyped Kaguya since 2007 as Black Zetsu was watching Naruto and Sasuke fight at the Final Valley where Madara and Hashirama statue stands. Can't wait for Kaguya to take what's hers! Black Zetsu or Kaguya stomp Madara too. Also, Hashirama, Hagoromo, Isshiki, Jigen, Momoshiki, Delta, Naruto and Sasuke, Fused Boruto, Code, Juubito, Dual MS Prime Obito (100% chakra) etc Madara’s cool in terms of powers but as an actual characters he’s kinda lame imo. Dude shit talks during the fight like he’s not an immortal zombie with stolen powers. Like dude Hashirama kicked your ass so bad you stole his flesh and went into hiding for decades. Also the whole “Wake up to reality” thing is super ironic considering his entire plan relies on doing the exact same shit he’s complaining about. At least Pain called a spade a spade.
@@lycan2494 Cool but nobody asked for this garbage. Stop spoiling shit in comment sections when the reactors are clearly first-time watchers. You've been copy pasting that exact same comment everywhere and the original commenters you're replying to aren't even saying anything relevant to what you're spamming....
‘I am Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf once again’…that line broke me more than anything, you realized all the sacrifices he made and regardless of all that happened, he was loyal to the Leaf.
@@jinthao00 Nah, Itachi only did what he did to the Uchiha clan when there was absolutely no choice. Danzo gave him only two options. Danzo though, always had choices, and he chose the worst options. Look at what he did to the Akatsuki, who wanted peace. He was using Shisui eye during the 5 Kage summit. He tried k1lling Hiruzen just to take his seat. He hid Yamato when he could have prevented the d34th of the 4th Hokage. He manipulated Hanzo and Kabuto. He sacrificed innocents for experiments with Orochimaru, he held back his forces during Pain's attack on Konoha, he pushed the Uchiha to the edges of the village and vilified them, he took Shisui eye, he ordered the uchiha clan massacre when the Third Hokage said he could fix this and just needs time. So if you see, Danzo just did things when he always had a choice not to do it. Itachi just didn't have a choice.
Kage means shadow. Kage in a Village means Pillar. Itachi is an example of being a True Hokage. Serving the Leaf as pillar while watching in the shadows.

Kaguya is shit compared to madara jinchurki wtf are you even talking about kid. Kaguya didn’t even had attacks or battle knowledge. She only had the ability to change and travel through dimensions. Madara had thousands of jutsus, rinnegan jutsus, fly ability, instant regeneration, etc etc etc. Black zetsu is the weakest character in naruto lol. And all the names you mentioned are from boruto which is 4ss just like your comment
@@jwizdum2103 Wrong. Kaguya was perfect for final villain. Madara was too weak to be the final villain. Hashirama also counter Edo Tensei, Madara is nothing.
except, severus was a weirdo, the movies really tunned down how much of a bad character he was. itachi did not have anywhere near the same level of presence in the story by comparison.
The Perfect Susano’o reveal is one of the coolest moments in the war arc but it’s followed immediately by one of the most emotional moments in the series, so it kinda falls to the background. Sasuke’s and Itachi’s final goodbye is simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming.
@@iReiGNxx I hate the perfect Susano’o personally. The power cliffing in the war arc is way too much for my liking and that’s one of the worst for me. I prefered the Susano’o when it was just the upper body like when Itachi used it. In general Madara was given way too much for my liking. The rinnegan, hashirama cells, Ten Tails, sage mode. It’s just so unnecessary, and everyone else had to scale ridiculously through plot amps in order to keep up. It all makes the arc very messy to me.
@@young_raymond47They kept jerking off hashirama as the god of Shinobi and the strongest to ever live. They had to make the only ninja who could challenge him broken.

the first time i watch Naruto is when i was a 10 year old boy, and now as a 25 year old man. When Fugaku told Itachi "i'm proud of you, you're truly a kind child" my heart dropped. this scene, and Kushina's "Thank you for letting me be your mother" scene never fails to make the tears fall 😅
sad/fun fact: Itachi uses the word "aishiteru" rather than another word for love such as "daisuki" or "suki" because it conveys the deepest feeling of love and care. The word is rarely used in conversation as it is such a strong representation of love usually reserved for the most special people in ones life.
Actually the use of 'aishiteru' in that scene was different from how it's normally (over)used in Japanese media. It's also a context in which it would actually be used in real-life. Like, not exactly because of the obviously magical circumstances, but the closest real-life analogue, that being the words of someone on his death bed to his most loved ones, would warrant that dying person using 'aishiteru' when declaring love for them. This is because it's the last time they would ever be able to tell their loved ones of said love. 'Aishiteru' is a declaration of ever-lasting love, so it's fitting that it would be used as a dying man's final declaration of love. It's also fitting to use it when saying good bye to a close friend for what you have reason to believe will be the last time. But other than tha, it has implications of such a deep and profound, but specifically romantic love, that it's generally reserved for weddings

Itachi didn't do anything against danzo just because shisuii said so. He even worked with the village because he understood what the will of fire means. He killed his parents, his best friend died infront of him , he killed his own clan members and spyed on them. Left the village remebered as a traitor. Went to the akatsuki to spy on them. And always looked out to sasuke from distance and had his eye on danzo so he doesnt do anything to sasuke. Came back to life, recasted shisuii mangekiyo sharigans genjutsu on himself to break free out of the control and literally soloed kabuto to save everyone once again. Best of it? Noone knows it. There is no satue, no proof, nothing but sasuke and kabuto eye witness that itachi is the true hero of this arc.
Shisui and Itachi understood Danzo’s dark ways to maintain peace in shinobi world. Theyre legit shinobis who do the dirty work so the village lives in peace and other villages cant touch Konoha
He didn't really cast the genjutsu on himself (the way you wrote it, made it look like it was intentional). it was pure coincidence that it happened, as the crow he put in Naruto was supposed to come out when faced against Sasuke (whom he knew would have transplanted Itachis eyes in him), and cast the genjutsu on the wearer of Itachis sharingan. He never planned for/against being reanimated, it just simply worked in their favor because of plot.

Itachi being a good guy was ONE OF AND TO THIS DAY MAY STILL BE one of the biggest twists in not just anime but in CINEMA HISTORY. When we first meet sasuke"i want kill a certain someone" we grow up hating itachi just as much as sasuke. then they fight and u feel happy he dies then THE TRUTH comes out and u feel terrible. Then they go ahead and show this episode of his parents acceptance of itachis actions. Then he doesn't do the forehead touch he does something way better. Then our hearts break even more❤️🔥🧊🧊this show still holds up. It truly is one of if not the best anime OAT🕺🏆

The way the built it up in the manga, with all the mysteries, I really thought he was out there seeking for power and unraveling more mysteries to be the next Madara. It took so long in the moment, now they can watch the episodes and binge it whenever they want XD When the truth came to light... I wasnt ready, I have many Itachi tshirts lol
"You don't ever have to forgive me". That's a powerful line. Like Sasuke or not, he has a right to be angry, he lost everything because of other people's selfish decisions, and Itachi is validating his feelings.
Even though this isn’t my first time watching this, anything regarding Itachi (favorite character) always gets to me. On a different note, we’re getting close everyone and those who watched the series know what I’m talking about…

Trust me you might see a good anime with top tier animation, plot twist, hype, fight scenes and all but you will never feel the same way you felt in naruto from other anime. This is the only anime that gives me nostalgic vibes for more than 5 times in 1 arc. Made me cry so much for more than 3 times and not to mention everytime i watch those scenes it still makes cry. One of the best in terms of choreography in fight scenes. Unlike bleach and AOT, naruto will give you a LOT of plot twist. Again its A LOT not just ONE whole plot twist. Naruto is the best anime. People might say one piece but one piece will never make you cry like naruto did, will never have a better choreography than naruto, will never have a plot twist like naruto, will never give you more than 5 nostalgic vibes that connects you from the past(OG naruto)
@@barcodious4097 neutrally talking , no other anime can beat OP on world building. But Naruto simply is the best anime you can connect emotionally with several characters, deep motives for each character, one of best villains of whole anime world. But OP world beauty, size unmatchable. Both are great in their own way. But for me overall Naruto is the OG

@@wadeo_0 I really liked the start of the war arc actually. I almost liked it more than the middle. It just depends on how much you like the side characters and initial skirmishes. Personally it was great to me.
This ep is what cemented Itachi as top 3 best written characters in media. This is one of the only eps in history that actually brought a tear to my eye
Fun fact: In the original japanese dub Itachi says "Aishteru". Japanese has a few ways of expressing affection. "Suki yo" and even more common "Daisuki", but "Aishteru" is considered to be the most powerful and upmost declaration of love you can make in Japanese. Most married couples won't even say it because of the weight it carries. Itachi was truly telling Sasuke that he loved him in the deepest way possible.
Doesn't matter how many times I see it, Itachi's final scene with Sasuke always gets me and makes me cry. It just embodies loss, suffering, and unconditional love so perfectly which is why the scene is so powerful.
Itachi is so kind 💕 omg I’m like crying with you guys 😭 I liked itachi since day one. He’s character design I was like in love. Than I saw all this, I just fell in love with him 🤧🌸💕
It's so cool when anime writers include elements from the traditional Japanese mythology. "Izanagi and Izanami are held to be the creators of the Japanese archipelago and the progenitors of many deities, which include the sun goddess Amaterasu, the moon deity Tsukuyomi, and the storm god Susanoo." According to Google.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch these episodes. I always cry. When i think of my brother and what i would do for him, i would do exactly what Itachi would. One of the best written characters in any anime.
People saying EREN or AIZEN is better written than Itachi because of the plot twist the they showed. Itachi has a top tier written plot twist too but thats not all. This character has the hype. Has the emotion in it. Has the fight scene. Has the twist. Gives you excitement everytime he is on the screen. Even in OG naruto, even as a villain Itachi is already cool as F. He has the aura. Aizen might have a better twist and aura but it lacks in terms of emotion. Eren might get the emotion and the twist but it lacks in terms of aura, hype and excitement everytime you see his character. Itachi has it all and not just having it, all of those things or attributes is considered as top tier on its own
but honestly, it is easier to write a "secondary" character than a main one such as Eren and give him such an "aura". That being said, Itachi is my fav haha
I'd say Eren's suffering is still greater, but I admit Itachi is definitely wiser. Gotta look at the whole story tho, Eren's character was extremely well written into the story of SnK, Itachi has a really good start but his writing in shippuden is a bit asspull at times, overall not sure which I'd say is better written, they're both huge characters in their respective shows.
Aizen doesn’t even have a better twist dude is a damn soul reaper anyone who thought he was actually dead is dumb aizen is so overrated it’s disgusting and eren?😂😂 don’t even mention him in the same sentence
I think only 3 forbidden jutsus were revealed early in the anime/manga. 1 of them being a self-restricted "forbidden" jutsu, that being the 8-gates. the first one introduced was shadow-clone jutsu (this was mainly because of the chakra required to not only use it, but also know how much chakra to use afterwards as to not die from exhaustion when clones are released). the 2nd one was reanimation jutsu (which we will see why is forbidden during this war).
Itachi was reanimated, broke out of the reanimation jutsu, fought a weakened rennigan user, tracked down the jutsu caster, fought sage mode Kabuto, and released the reanimation jutsu. What a GOAT
Itachi Uchiha to me is the best written Charakter ever... His mind... His view to Life and Death... I can relate so much to it... His choices... This character amazes me so much... Cant appreciate enough that something like that got written so well... Hands down to the writer und creator of this story...!!!
He tortured Kakashi to show Kakashi theres next level to 3tomoe sharingan. Cause if Kakashi unlocks mangekyou it’s such a huge weapon for the leaf village. You can say Itachi assumed Kakashi’s sharingan already is mangekyou ready cause of the world famous bridge sacrifice of Obito. Just as Itachi lost his bestfriend Shisui and unlocked mangekyou, Kakashi isnt Uchiha so he has to dig deep to unlock mangekyou
well kisame was loyal to tobi and probably would’ve told the akatsuki about itachis actions if he had faltered, also kakashi said itachi could’ve killed him with tsukiyome but chose not to
Ice already anticipated they're fonna cry on this episode and it hurts like hell after learning the whole truth about this tragic incident so Ron and Michelle i feel you 😔💔😢
This line has always been stuck in my head. It's an I love you but not everyone can hit that line just right. Edit: I didn't know you would say the same thing as me. 😂 I typed it once I clicked on the video.
"Damn that Ohnoki. His wisdon in battle is beginning to show..." This show always had the best appreciation stories for the underdog. Madara actually acknowledging Ohnoki's skills was great and the way he describes it as "wisdom in battle" is a insightful way of describing it. It's not just experience or hardened mentality.
No matter how many anime I watch, Itachi is still the best character that has stuck in my memory so far. The best character writing in the history of anime.
@@obungapyramid5525big 3 are the shonen that inspire most of the later power systems and power levels DBZ is considered the fatter of the big 3 😂 chill out and tap in
Itachi did the opposite of what Iruka did to Naruto. While Iruka showed he accepted Naruto in what he thought were his last moments, Itachi openly rejected Sasuke and made him seek revenge.
Sasuke way of awakening the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is by combining Itachi eyes and his own and actually Sasuke didn't really want to, but after fighting Danzo Sasuke eyes started to go blind Because the advantage of the eternal mangekyou sharingan is that users can freely use the sharingan without having to worry about going blind
The saddest thing is that a couple of people knew about Itachi’s sacrifice... Sasuke, Naruto, those close to them. It is Itachi’s will that the Uchiha clan would not be branded... That the Uchiha clan would be revered as before, That the former Uchiha clan would be considered one of the most respected in history. All thanks to Itachi's Sacrifice. He didn't want Honor and to be a Hero. he just wanted to be happy. Interesting fact. That Itachi had never been happy in his entire adult life.
I feel like it depends on what aspect of writing you mean. I think his arc and backstory are fascinating - a genius ninja who ended his clan for the greater good (minus his dear brother), and was forced to play the bad guy for the rest of his life. He's got arguably the most compelling plot thread in the series (maybe even all of shonen). However, it IS a shonen at the end of the day, so the actual writing in terms of dialogue is kinda on-the-nose. It doesn't have the subtlety of something like Frieren, for example. BUT, depends on what you value. Naruto was my gateway anime and it will always have a place in my heart, and Itachi is beloved for a reason.
@@RoaringTide Yeah you bringed up some great points, personally the things he said about the "How much can your sharingan see" and especially his quote about the concept of reality. How we all live in our fantasies and people live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true ect hits hard and was really deep because not only his power was specialised in genjutsu but the whole character was an illusion for both the characters in the show and us the viewers. We all thought he was the bad guy, even tho some of us thought there was something going on with him but we were all trapped in his genjutsu. He is my Goat but yeah its hard to say which is the better written character and i'd say it is subjective in a way. Btw i have yet to finish Frieren i watched a couple of episodes, i've heard great things about the anime is it really that good ?
And that is why Itachi is my favorite in the entire franchise. His intelligence, his motives, his analysis, his judgment, his prowess, his techniques, his valour ultimately trumps all characters including Naruto combined. He may be a side character and may not posses a funny bone, but he drove his own story like he's definitely the mc in his own life, however fictional the entire thing be. Story-wise, he was presented a dilemma, a problem so big that it demands active and immediate resolution. He chose his path with dignity even though he had all the reasons in the world to hesitate and stop because his immediate loved ones are the literal prize. Best of all, he delivered his answer without fail (unlike Naruto when faced a dilemma). The author certainly did his character justice.
Uchiha Itachi of the leaf arguably is the most badass title. Not the yellow flash, the white fang, the Legendary trio, the copy ninja, it's literally Uchiha Itachi. His name itself is THAT title 🔥
There's no doubt the scenes with Itachi is written to pull at one's heart strings. However, I personally could never buy the retroactive plot development that elevates Itachi to this kindhearted, all knowing, heroic mastermind of a character, who only did all the horrific things for sake of his brother and the village. I don't think enough was done to take him from this sociopathic shinobi to a saint like character. And what's worse is that it completely downplays/minimizes the Uchiha side of the story, as well as Sasuke's entire arc since the beginning, including significant elements like the trauma of not only losing his family/clan, but repeatedly being tortured to witness the massacre on a Tsukoyomi loop. I can't imagine this current iteration of Itachi ever having done such a thing in the past. Also, Sasuke's flashbacks early on surrounding the Uchiha massacre had Itachi clearly behaving in an odd manner, as if he was possesed by something, and seemingly obsessed with testing his limits of power; as opposed to a gentle soul in a moral bind to make a tough decision. None of this was ever addressed. So, it's always puzzling to me how anyone can say Itachi is the best written character, when there are so many gaps in his development. Perhaps people are equating convoluted characterization to a properly fleshing out of a complex character. Unfortunately in Itachi's case, the latter wasn't achieved.
I think the craziest part is to get to this point you realize that last conversation Itachi had with Naruto were the words he needed to hear to accept dying by his brother’s own hands. Absolute faith. Incredible.
Itachi, who has always endured everything for the sake of the village, for Konoha, for his brother, finally says a few truthful words: "No matter what happens in the future, I will always love you." It is a characteristic of Japanese people that they don't say things but have thoughts hidden in their minds. This comes from the Japanese samurai and ninja spirits. I'm Japanese, and sometimes I hate that, but I'm also proud of it.
It's funny how people tend to make the mistake of not listening to what Itachi said about himself. They overhype him while not acknowledging what he himself admitted to Sasuke. That it was wrong not being truthful to Sasuke,and trying to do things on his own. He even tells Sasuke not to call him perfect. Itachi had to acknowledge his own mistakes with the path he put Sasuke on. I'm also glad he doesn't blame Sasuke for his feelings about destroying the hidden leaf. Wrecking a person mentally at such a young age and filling them with hate will take time to mend. It's a shame some think Sasuke can just toss all the hatred put into him(by his brother) all these years. And the burden is put on Sasuke once again. What he does next will be interesting to say the least.
Remember. Itachi was only 13 when he was given the order to massacre the Uchiha. 25:48 Still freaking gets me even though I have watched this for, like, a 1000th time.
Itachi has the BEST character discovery of all anime. Like when you really discover itachi's full story you cannot tell me that itachi does not have the kindness heart in the whole series. Like when I first watched Naruto and found out that itachi cried his ass off before killing his parents mad me realize just how hard it was for him. he didn't have a evil bone in his body.
There is actually Japanese folklore behind the genjutsu and other abilities used by Uchiha. Susano'o, tsukuyomi, amaterasu, Izanami, and Izanagi are all related gods (or demi-gods), so once we knew the name of Tsukuyomi and amaterasu (pre-shippuden), the names of later Uchiha abilities (Susanoo, izanami, izanagi) were thus already pre-determined. When people suggest that Naruto series has lots of "asspulls", they often bring up this very topic, and it's like .... yeah, it seems like an asspull, because we just don't know the Japanese cultural stuff that often is intertwined with manga and anime.
Uchiha Itachi is the personification of the word "Shinobi" The best in the history of the Naruto universe. The man who influenced everything. Sasuke changed thanks to Itachi's Way. Self-sacrifice... A nameless shinobi protecting the world from the shadows is a true shinobi.
This scene encapsulates the entire show imo. Itachi literally saves Sasuke in this scene. You’ll see why, but this was the original domino piece to fall to save his clan. Itachi is a freakin hero man. Saved everything that was possible to save in his timeline
A lot of people miss it but to really get a grasp of how massive the perfect susanoo is you can compare it to the "meteors" that madara dropped at 19:32
Now you finally know why itachi is the GOAT in many peoples eyes and their favorite Naruto Character. One of the best written character ever, also never lost a battle, that's how much the writer loved him. He literally save the Ninja world and disappeared.

‘I am Itachi Uchiha of the Leaf once again’…that line broke me more than anything, you realized all the sacrifices he made and regardless of all that happened, he was loyal to the Leaf.
Same with Danzo
I agree with you l hope he rest in peçe ❤️
@@اميرمادرا nah he still killed alot of people. he for sure will rot in hell for his sins
@shottyshane4353 thats not how hell works, thats like saying soldiers go to hell
@@jinthao00 Nah, Itachi only did what he did to the Uchiha clan when there was absolutely no choice. Danzo gave him only two options.
Danzo though, always had choices, and he chose the worst options. Look at what he did to the Akatsuki, who wanted peace. He was using Shisui eye during the 5 Kage summit. He tried k1lling Hiruzen just to take his seat. He hid Yamato when he could have prevented the d34th of the 4th Hokage. He manipulated Hanzo and Kabuto. He sacrificed innocents for experiments with Orochimaru, he held back his forces during Pain's attack on Konoha, he pushed the Uchiha to the edges of the village and vilified them, he took Shisui eye, he ordered the uchiha clan massacre when the Third Hokage said he could fix this and just needs time.
So if you see, Danzo just did things when he always had a choice not to do it. Itachi just didn't have a choice.
Nothing hurts more than Fugaku telling itachi he understands and itachi breaking down

@@jwizdum2103 Wrong. Kaguya was perfect for final villain. Madara was too weak to be the final villain. Hashirama also counter Edo Tensei, Madara is nothing.
except, severus was a weirdo, the movies really tunned down how much of a bad character he was. itachi did not have anywhere near the same level of presence in the story by comparison.
The Perfect Susano’o reveal is one of the coolest moments in the war arc but it’s followed immediately by one of the most emotional moments in the series, so it kinda falls to the background. Sasuke’s and Itachi’s final goodbye is simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming.

@@iReiGNxx I hate the perfect Susano’o personally. The power cliffing in the war arc is way too much for my liking and that’s one of the worst for me. I prefered the Susano’o when it was just the upper body like when Itachi used it.
In general Madara was given way too much for my liking. The rinnegan, hashirama cells, Ten Tails, sage mode. It’s just so unnecessary, and everyone else had to scale ridiculously through plot amps in order to keep up. It all makes the arc very messy to me.

@@lycan2494 what are you even talking about? 🤡
the first time i watch Naruto is when i was a 10 year old boy, and now as a 25 year old man. When Fugaku told Itachi "i'm proud of you, you're truly a kind child" my heart dropped.
this scene, and Kushina's "Thank you for letting me be your mother" scene never fails to make the tears fall 😅
sad/fun fact: Itachi uses the word "aishiteru" rather than another word for love such as "daisuki" or "suki" because it conveys the deepest feeling of love and care. The word is rarely used in conversation as it is such a strong representation of love usually reserved for the most special people in ones life.
Actually the use of 'aishiteru' in that scene was different from how it's normally (over)used in Japanese media. It's also a context in which it would actually be used in real-life. Like, not exactly because of the obviously magical circumstances, but the closest real-life analogue, that being the words of someone on his death bed to his most loved ones, would warrant that dying person using 'aishiteru' when declaring love for them. This is because it's the last time they would ever be able to tell their loved ones of said love. 'Aishiteru' is a declaration of ever-lasting love, so it's fitting that it would be used as a dying man's final declaration of love. It's also fitting to use it when saying good bye to a close friend for what you have reason to believe will be the last time. But other than tha, it has implications of such a deep and profound, but specifically romantic love, that it's generally reserved for weddings
And with his final goodbye, he became cemented as one of the top characters of the whole series & a fan favorite among watchers. 💔
Me too he my favorite after pain too have nice l Will miss him❤️

one of the worse characters u mean XD
Itachi didn't do anything against danzo just because shisuii said so. He even worked with the village because he understood what the will of fire means. He killed his parents, his best friend died infront of him , he killed his own clan members and spyed on them. Left the village remebered as a traitor. Went to the akatsuki to spy on them. And always looked out to sasuke from distance and had his eye on danzo so he doesnt do anything to sasuke. Came back to life, recasted shisuii mangekiyo sharigans genjutsu on himself to break free out of the control and literally soloed kabuto to save everyone once again. Best of it? Noone knows it. There is no satue, no proof, nothing but sasuke and kabuto eye witness that itachi is the true hero of this arc.
that's need a HUGE HEART, STRONG HEART, AND GENTLE HEART.
Itachi is perfect definition of HEART of the GOAT.
Shisui and Itachi understood Danzo’s dark ways to maintain peace in shinobi world. Theyre legit shinobis who do the dirty work so the village lives in peace and other villages cant touch Konoha
Itachi and shishui really a goat 😤👌
He didn't really cast the genjutsu on himself (the way you wrote it, made it look like it was intentional). it was pure coincidence that it happened, as the crow he put in Naruto was supposed to come out when faced against Sasuke (whom he knew would have transplanted Itachis eyes in him), and cast the genjutsu on the wearer of Itachis sharingan. He never planned for/against being reanimated, it just simply worked in their favor because of plot.

lol calm down. itachi is not even top 5 or 10
The way the built it up in the manga, with all the mysteries, I really thought he was out there seeking for power and unraveling more mysteries to be the next Madara. It took so long in the moment, now they can watch the episodes and binge it whenever they want XD
When the truth came to light... I wasnt ready, I have many Itachi tshirts lol
And unlike what the haters say, Kishimoto confirmed that he had this twist planned from the beginning.
"You don't ever have to forgive me". That's a powerful line. Like Sasuke or not, he has a right to be angry, he lost everything because of other people's selfish decisions, and Itachi is validating his feelings.

Trust me you might see a good anime with top tier animation, plot twist, hype, fight scenes and all but you will never feel the same way you felt in naruto from other anime. This is the only anime that gives me nostalgic vibes for more than 5 times in 1 arc. Made me cry so much for more than 3 times and not to mention everytime i watch those scenes it still makes cry. One of the best in terms of choreography in fight scenes. Unlike bleach and AOT, naruto will give you a LOT of plot twist. Again its A LOT not just ONE whole plot twist. Naruto is the best anime. People might say one piece but one piece will never make you cry like naruto did, will never have a better choreography than naruto, will never have a plot twist like naruto, will never give you more than 5 nostalgic vibes that connects you from the past(OG naruto)

Fun fact: In the original japanese dub Itachi says "Aishteru". Japanese has a few ways of expressing affection. "Suki yo" and even more common "Daisuki", but "Aishteru" is considered to be the most powerful and upmost declaration of love you can make in Japanese. Most married couples won't even say it because of the weight it carries. Itachi was truly telling Sasuke that he loved him in the deepest way possible.
That’s why he’s the GOAT! Still makes me cry everytime.

People saying EREN or AIZEN is better written than Itachi because of the plot twist the they showed. Itachi has a top tier written plot twist too but thats not all. This character has the hype. Has the emotion in it. Has the fight scene. Has the twist. Gives you excitement everytime he is on the screen. Even in OG naruto, even as a villain Itachi is already cool as F. He has the aura. Aizen might have a better twist and aura but it lacks in terms of emotion. Eren might get the emotion and the twist but it lacks in terms of aura, hype and excitement everytime you see his character. Itachi has it all and not just having it, all of those things or attributes is considered as top tier on its own
but honestly, it is easier to write a "secondary" character than a main one such as Eren and give him such an "aura". That being said, Itachi is my fav haha
I'd say Eren's suffering is still greater, but I admit Itachi is definitely wiser. Gotta look at the whole story tho, Eren's character was extremely well written into the story of SnK, Itachi has a really good start but his writing in shippuden is a bit asspull at times, overall not sure which I'd say is better written, they're both huge characters in their respective shows.
Eren is not even better than Lelouch.
*My personal opinion.
nice point
Aizen doesn’t even have a better twist dude is a damn soul reaper anyone who thought he was actually dead is dumb aizen is so overrated it’s disgusting and eren?😂😂 don’t even mention him in the same sentence
I think only 3 forbidden jutsus were revealed early in the anime/manga. 1 of them being a self-restricted "forbidden" jutsu, that being the 8-gates. the first one introduced was shadow-clone jutsu (this was mainly because of the chakra required to not only use it, but also know how much chakra to use afterwards as to not die from exhaustion when clones are released). the 2nd one was reanimation jutsu (which we will see why is forbidden during this war).
Itachi was reanimated, broke out of the reanimation jutsu, fought a weakened rennigan user, tracked down the jutsu caster, fought sage mode Kabuto, and released the reanimation jutsu. What a GOAT
🐐
Itachi Uchiha to me is the best written Charakter ever... His mind... His view to Life and Death... I can relate so much to it... His choices... This character amazes me so much... Cant appreciate enough that something like that got written so well... Hands down to the writer und creator of this story...!!!
Yep, it hits harder when you have a brother.
Itachi caught us all behind the 4th wall in a genjutsu the 1st time we saw it GOAT character
At the end of the day Itachi didnt need to torture Kakashi to hell tho 🤣
He tortured Kakashi to show Kakashi theres next level to 3tomoe sharingan. Cause if Kakashi unlocks mangekyou it’s such a huge weapon for the leaf village. You can say Itachi assumed Kakashi’s sharingan already is mangekyou ready cause of the world famous bridge sacrifice of Obito. Just as Itachi lost his bestfriend Shisui and unlocked mangekyou, Kakashi isnt Uchiha so he has to dig deep to unlock mangekyou

and actually Sasuke didn't really want to, but after fighting Danzo Sasuke eyes started to go blind
Because the advantage of the eternal mangekyou sharingan is that users can freely use the sharingan without having to worry about going blind
Honestly every time I watch ppl react to this, doesn’t get any easier. Tough episode to get through without crying
The saddest thing is that a couple of people knew about Itachi’s sacrifice... Sasuke, Naruto, those close to them. It is Itachi’s will that the Uchiha clan would not be branded... That the Uchiha clan would be revered as before, That the former Uchiha clan would be considered one of the most respected in history. All thanks to Itachi's Sacrifice. He didn't want Honor and to be a Hero. he just wanted to be happy. Interesting fact. That Itachi had never been happy in his entire adult life.
Is there a better written character in all of anime?
Yes, pretty much any Seinin character, Itachi still goated tho
I feel like it depends on what aspect of writing you mean. I think his arc and backstory are fascinating - a genius ninja who ended his clan for the greater good (minus his dear brother), and was forced to play the bad guy for the rest of his life. He's got arguably the most compelling plot thread in the series (maybe even all of shonen). However, it IS a shonen at the end of the day, so the actual writing in terms of dialogue is kinda on-the-nose. It doesn't have the subtlety of something like Frieren, for example. BUT, depends on what you value. Naruto was my gateway anime and it will always have a place in my heart, and Itachi is beloved for a reason.
@@supersomeone9032 the seinin wank is crazy
@@RoaringTide Yeah you bringed up some great points, personally the things he said about the "How much can your sharingan see" and especially his quote about the concept of reality. How we all live in our fantasies and people live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true ect hits hard and was really deep because not only his power was specialised in genjutsu but the whole character was an illusion for both the characters in the show and us the viewers. We all thought he was the bad guy, even tho some of us thought there was something going on with him but we were all trapped in his genjutsu. He is my Goat but yeah its hard to say which is the better written character and i'd say it is subjective in a way.
Btw i have yet to finish Frieren i watched a couple of episodes, i've heard great things about the anime is it really that good ?
thorfin is a tough contender
"Im not supressing them, i wasnt even crying" lmao 🤣🤣 i feel you Ron! none of us cried in this episode 😤
i dont really cry but when itachi was behind his parents and then hugged sasuke, it never fails to make me at least get teary eyed
And that is why Itachi is my favorite in the entire franchise. His intelligence, his motives, his analysis, his judgment, his prowess, his techniques, his valour ultimately trumps all characters including Naruto combined. He may be a side character and may not posses a funny bone, but he drove his own story like he's definitely the mc in his own life, however fictional the entire thing be. Story-wise, he was presented a dilemma, a problem so big that it demands active and immediate resolution. He chose his path with dignity even though he had all the reasons in the world to hesitate and stop because his immediate loved ones are the literal prize. Best of all, he delivered his answer without fail (unlike Naruto when faced a dilemma). The author certainly did his character justice.
You must watch the movie "Road to ninja"!!The story is after the pain arc in the timeline. It's one of my favorite Naruto movies!
We safely say Itachi is the greatest anime character of all time!
You know that "Best cry ever" meme? That's my reaction every time I watch that episode
Uchiha Itachi of the leaf arguably is the most badass title. Not the yellow flash, the white fang, the Legendary trio, the copy ninja, it's literally Uchiha Itachi. His name itself is THAT title 🔥
saving his own village twice even after death is 🤯
Yo, check out the English dub version. It hits so much harder than the original. Itachi's voice actor has a mysterious and beautiful voice.
“I will always love you”… one of the coldest lines in Anime history…
There's no doubt the scenes with Itachi is written to pull at one's heart strings. However, I personally could never buy the retroactive plot development that elevates Itachi to this kindhearted, all knowing, heroic mastermind of a character, who only did all the horrific things for sake of his brother and the village.
I don't think enough was done to take him from this sociopathic shinobi to a saint like character. And what's worse is that it completely downplays/minimizes the Uchiha side of the story, as well as Sasuke's entire arc since the beginning, including significant elements like the trauma of not only losing his family/clan, but repeatedly being tortured to witness the massacre on a Tsukoyomi loop. I can't imagine this current iteration of Itachi ever having done such a thing in the past.
Also, Sasuke's flashbacks early on surrounding the Uchiha massacre had Itachi clearly behaving in an odd manner, as if he was possesed by something, and seemingly obsessed with testing his limits of power; as opposed to a gentle soul in a moral bind to make a tough decision. None of this was ever addressed. So, it's always puzzling to me how anyone can say Itachi is the best written character, when there are so many gaps in his development. Perhaps people are equating convoluted characterization to a properly fleshing out of a complex character. Unfortunately in Itachi's case, the latter wasn't achieved.
I think the craziest part is to get to this point you realize that last conversation Itachi had with Naruto were the words he needed to hear to accept dying by his brother’s own hands. Absolute faith. Incredible.
Itachi, who has always endured everything for the sake of the village, for Konoha, for his brother, finally says a few truthful words: "No matter what happens in the future, I will always love you."
It is a characteristic of Japanese people that they don't say things but have thoughts hidden in their minds. This comes from the Japanese samurai and ninja spirits.
I'm Japanese, and sometimes I hate that, but I'm also proud of it.
It's funny how people tend to make the mistake of not listening to what Itachi said about himself. They overhype him while not acknowledging what he himself admitted to Sasuke. That it was wrong not being truthful to Sasuke,and trying to do things on his own. He even tells Sasuke not to call him perfect. Itachi had to acknowledge his own mistakes with the path he put Sasuke on. I'm also glad he doesn't blame Sasuke for his feelings about destroying the hidden leaf. Wrecking a person mentally at such a young age and filling them with hate will take time to mend. It's a shame some think Sasuke can just toss all the hatred put into him(by his brother) all these years. And the burden is put on Sasuke once again. What he does next will be interesting to say the least.
I agree in my 20yrs of being an otaku. Itachi Uchiha of the hidden leaf will always be my top 3 characters in the animeverse
You know its real when Ron pulls out the water jug to try and hide the tears lmao. First time we saw that move was Demon Slayer movie lol
22:59 "He's going to do the finger thing!"
That's what she said! lmao
Remember. Itachi was only 13 when he was given the order to massacre the Uchiha. 25:48 Still freaking gets me even though I have watched this for, like, a 1000th time.
Itachi has the BEST character discovery of all anime. Like when you really discover itachi's full story you cannot tell me that itachi does not have the kindness heart in the whole series. Like when I first watched Naruto and found out that itachi cried his ass off before killing his parents mad me realize just how hard it was for him. he didn't have a evil bone in his body.
That brotherly bond gets Ron every time 😂
No matter how many times this scene and his death plays, it will always get me.
We understand Ron. You are crying because there's a invisible Shinobi cutting onions 😁
There is actually Japanese folklore behind the genjutsu and other abilities used by Uchiha. Susano'o, tsukuyomi, amaterasu, Izanami, and Izanagi are all related gods (or demi-gods), so once we knew the name of Tsukuyomi and amaterasu (pre-shippuden), the names of later Uchiha abilities (Susanoo, izanami, izanagi) were thus already pre-determined. When people suggest that Naruto series has lots of "asspulls", they often bring up this very topic, and it's like .... yeah, it seems like an asspull, because we just don't know the Japanese cultural stuff that often is intertwined with manga and anime.
I will love you always… few words…. So much weight behind it… so much sacrifice behind it. The best to ever do it… the GOAT Naruto character.
25:50 Finally, RIP to the GOAT, Itachi. He was a real one.
Based. Watching this when it came out was emotional, and it was the subbed version too.
Uchiha Itachi is the personification of the word "Shinobi" The best in the history of the Naruto universe.
The man who influenced everything. Sasuke changed thanks to Itachi's Way.
Self-sacrifice... A nameless shinobi protecting the world from the shadows is a true shinobi.
This scene encapsulates the entire show imo. Itachi literally saves Sasuke in this scene. You’ll see why, but this was the original domino piece to fall to save his clan. Itachi is a freakin hero man. Saved everything that was possible to save in his timeline
Honestly this is a spoiler bro
@@StraightBleach they already ahead on patreon
For real though, Itachi has to be the most Badass and hardcore anime Brothers of all time.
A lot of people miss it but to really get a grasp of how massive the perfect susanoo is you can compare it to the "meteors" that madara dropped at 19:32
Now you finally know why itachi is the GOAT in many peoples eyes and their favorite Naruto Character. One of the best written character ever, also never lost a battle, that's how much the writer loved him. He literally save the Ninja world and disappeared.
