Sasuke As A Villain

[SuperFlyzzED]

Now i'm not certain how Sasuke's development will potentially make him the final villain. I've heard people around NB and other sites saying Sasuke will become the final antagonist of the series. I believe that Kishimoto had potential of making Sasuke a great villain, but now i'm not sure if Kishimoto should make him one. I'm not against the idea of Sasuke being evil and pursue his own goals. However, Sasuke doesn't want world domination or something near that caliber. Unless Sasuke wants to destroy all the villages -- is it worth to see him become evil again? Sasuke has given up his goal to destroy Konoha due to keeping Itachi's promise. The only person that Sasuke needs to kill is Madara to end the hatred once and for all. What will propel Sasuke's hatred to become evil now? Unless Oro takes control of Sasuke, Sasuke steals Rinnegan from Madara only to be controlled in the end, or some other plot twist. I just can't see Sasuke have the reedeming qualities of a FV.

This is my assessment of Sasuke's potential role as a final villain:

1.) Has the attitude? Check.

Sasuke has an attitude to carry the villain role pretty well. Sure, Sasuke isn't the best villain, but he has potential to become one.

2.) Has goals? Semi-Check.

Sasuke seems to lack direction right now. The main thing right now is getting rid of the threat i suppose... However, Sasuke doesn't seem to have a common goal right now. Will he eradicate the tail-beasts? Will Sasuke focus on destroying other villages to get rid of the system? I won't say that Sasuke doesn't have something in mind but it's not clear.

3.) Has relevancy? Check.

Sasuke has encounters or history with many people: Naruto, Kakashi, K11, Kages, etc...

4.) Has power? No Check.

Sasuke is top ten material but he isn't in the same God Tier level as Madara or Juubito. Kishimoto would need to give Sasuke several upgrades to be worthy of FV status.

5.) Good plot material? Semi-Check or Check.

I vote more for the check, but it can honestly go either way. I can't be forthcoming because i have no idea on Sasuke as FV. What can make this worthy plot material is that Sasuke represents the views from the Elder Son. Sasuke believes that power is the best way to establish change. However, Sasuke will/might realize that power alone isn't going to make change alone. The clash of opposing ideals that will lead to the Naruto vs Sasuke finale might be worth it. This is where Sasuke could finally acknowledge Naruto as the better ninja of the two with the stronger ideals. This could also mean that Sasuke wanted to test Naruto to see if he was capable of being Hokage. Who knows maybe to teach Naruto a lesson that love alone isn't the only way in life. This could lead to Sasuke's potential death as a anti-hero/FV.

What do you think should Kishimoto do to make Sasuke a worthy FV?

Sasuke isn't going to be a villain, Madara just gave him a hint that him and naruto are stronger together than apart. Although Naruto has shared his chakra with him....so idk.

Doubt it though, there's been too many hints.

I don't think Sasuke will become a villain like Madara is and Obito was. I think that at the end there will be a clash between his and Naruto's ideals.

 

[The Necromancer]

I wouldn't call him a final villain, more like the last obstacle for naruto. A final villain threatens all of the characters (and usually the world) whereas sasuke would just be naruto's fight.

Sasuke wants peace tho he believe by killing everyone who bad in their world will achieve it. He doesn't want another War which is why he wants to become Hokage and change the ninja system

 

[Sir Blades]

His role is to simply make naruto stronger.

 

[ANiMUS]

Sasuke's disposition is an issue, but not a means for him to become a villain. Sasuke is not stupid enough to follow in Madara's foot steps after denouncing him. Naruto will get rid of Sasuke's hatred, thats all.

Sasuke's ideas are still the opposite of Naruto's, and one of then has to change. The one who will change will be Sasuke. Perhaps "villain" is not the right word, but he will be Naruto's final antagonist.

There has to be Naruto vs Sasuke. Thus, since Sasuke would oppose the protagonist, he would be a villain by definition. If it's well written he would be a very sympathetic anti-villain (an anti-villain is a villain with heroic goals, personality traits, and/or virtues. It's a lightening of the villain concept in the same way that an anti-hero is a darkening of the hero concept). In order to drive home that Sasuke is a much more honorable character than he has been in the past though still a villain, Sasuke could refuse to kill anyone else but Naruto. Thus, Sasuke's character doesn't suffer character regression. It's still character development though he is once again in the role of villain.

I personally see them fighting over Hokage but much more than that. It needs to be clash over their philosophies, yin and yang, peace through power or peace through love. However, at the end, they decide to put their two heads together in order to find a better solution. Naruto's philosophy is fail because you can't convince everyone to love each other. Sasuke's philosophy is fail because peace through power begets revolution and more violence. They need to combine their philosophies and achieve balance (the whole point of yin and yang).

as to 4, Sasuke's going to get a power-up. Naruto vs. Sasuke has to happen. Thus, Sasuke has to be at Naruto's level though Naruto would eventually win.

Sasuke's ideas are still the opposite of Naruto's, and one of then has to change. The one who will change will be Sasuke. Perhaps "villain" is not the right word, but he will be Naruto's final antagonist.

They both need to change. Naruto's is unrealistic. Sasuke's is immoral. They are both wrong and need to realize that. yin and yang aren't opposites. They are complementary forces that need to be balanced.

edit 2;

His role is to simply make naruto stronger.

No, Sasuke is the second most important character in the entire series. He has his own arcs and development. He has the most development in the entire series. He is not some plot device to make Naruto stronger
