do you consider him a bad guy or a good guy or a anti-hero?
-
I mean here is a run-down of him.
-
1. manipulated itachi into murdering his clan so that the fourth great ninja war could be prevented, in the process he saved countless lives.
2. ordered sai to kill sasuke, which is a good thing, because sasuke was a traitor and a rogue ninja
3. ordered him and his organization to stand down while pain attacked so that he could rule the leaf because he saw lady tsunade unfit to be hokage.
4. risked his life to defeat sasuke and tobi, sacrificing his life to keep them away from the village.
5. attempted to manipulate the 4 kage and mifune into making him the leader of the 5 great ninja nations to bring peace to the world.
-
I personnaly see him as a anti-hero, everything he did, he did in his core that it was right. I used to consider Danzo a villain mainly for choice 3. I mean he did some harsh things like instigating the uchiha clan massacre and manipulating itachi to do it, but you have to admit that he had some nobility to his actions and never once stopped trying to defend the leaf.
-
Danzo and itachi both did really harsh things, but in real life these are actions that must be done. In real life we can't just go up to our enemies and say, "terrorist, I know your pain, i was just like you when i was young, lets us make peace with eachother" we would all get shot in the face" (not taking into consideration option 3 of course)
-
idk what is your opinion on all of this?
-
do you consider danzo a anti-hero or is choice 3 enough for you to say, "he is a villain forget him!"

I believe he thought what he was doing was for Konoha, not himself. He was simply arrogant. He's a tragic hero, and hubris is his fault. I don't think it's simple as good and bad.

He is a "ends justified the means" kind of guy. Sometimes you need them in life.

Maybe his intentions weren't bad, but his ways were. The way he claimed to be protecting konoha had severe consequences to the very village he was trying to help.
As these effects of his actions could and harmed konoha society, his actions were bad, evil. Idk if he noticed that, but he didn't care. He didn't stop to pay attention to what his actions would cause, and this was his mistake.

Even if his intentions were good, his actions were bad, and they can't be justified. So, he is bad, but maybe with good intentions, but didn't care to the effects of his attitudes. What does this make him? Anti-hero? I guess he is more like a villain.

He could never become what he wanted, what he viewed as a "perfect" ninja since he was still selfish and afraid to die for his village (he only did it once he was dying anyway). Before that he only sacrificed others with no hesitation whatsoever. I view him more as a villain but an underdeveloped one; as in, if he were to actually take over Konoha and the world he would have definitely become a tyrannical ruler, a la Stalin or even worse. I mean, Stalin killed his own people but there was technological progress but with Danzo and his archaic ways no progress would have been made.

sociopathic tyrant who brainwashed kids and would kill anyone detrimental to his plan to get tsunade killed.

how? he is brutal insane and murderous

He is a "ends justified the means" kind of guy. Sometimes you need them in life.
we need violent murderous evil psychopaths who kidnap and brainwash kids for his personal army, kills anyone in his way, violates uchiha corpses, plots with orochimaru to destroy his home, allows thousands to get massacred by pain etc?

I believe he thought what he was doing was for Konoha, not himself. He was simply arrogant. He's a tragic hero, and hubris is his fault. I don't think it's simple as good and bad.
lol yes it is. you skimmed over all the violent and brutal crimes hes committed like always. tragic heroes dont go around butchering people, letting their village get annhilated, and brainwash children. if he thinks its whats best then thank god no one else does
