I should have actually read this rather than just thanking and leaving :sweat:

It's true. And I like how you link Naruto's personality to the mission in the Mist Village, it's something that can be easy to overlook.

But one argument I can make about the "name one relevant antagonist who didn't get a sympathetic background." Hidan is that exception. The guy was just cold blooded for the sake of pleasing jaashin :D

Only because they weren't around for long enough. We never explored Hidan's backstory we just heard about it, could be anything behind it.

Yeah, Kishi rushed that one. Hidan was just unexplored potential with more to offer...But in a way, it gives the message that not everyone can change for the better, some people are psychotic

Even Deidara was psychotic though, he had a sick twisted love for something destructive but yknow he wasn't totally sick and twisted. And we know there was just a little rebel boy at the start of that.

I like how gutsy ninja Naruto is...

As said multiple time in manga, it's all about understand each other feelings.
There's no or few true evil person in the manga as it is in real life.

There's crazy people, there's people with different view on life, morale, justice... some are rather evil, other are seen as evil (without being that evil)

Just think about how evil it was in middle age to say earth wasn't the center of the univers, or that it wasn't flat...

Bond -->feeling-->love-->pain-->hatred-->revenge-->Bond-->feeling-->love-->pain-->hatred-->revenge-->and so on

Yea I couldn't agree more, I've always noticed the difference between to some most anime Like DBZ, they're Villains for the sake of being evil and its just kind a lame cause their intention is to be the strongest and destroy the world, but in Naruto it feels like anyone are open minded more and have ideals of peace or "their Ninja Way" and yet they got corrupted in the Ninja world where they see a pit into the darkness.

I think this series is closest more like realistically.

DBZ is just a lame cliche show in general really, has nothing on Naruto except influence. And any show can be 'influential' if it happens to come about at a right time.

Thanks for the thread! =D

I'm one of those people who despise TNJ just because it "doesn't suit to my liking".

I'm very naive.

Good read!!!

I found Obito's pseudo talk-no-jutsu to actually be awesome. Sometimes it can be overkill but I always feel like Naruto deserves it though.
