Is Kakashi relevant without Obito

[Mark Sanchez]

Now I'm not trying to bash Kakashi (even though I dont like him) but the recent chapter got me thinking and someone else pointed this out, Is Kakashi relevant without Obito



In other words, can Kakashi exist as a standalone character without Obito or his influence. And my answer is I dont think so

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

Obito says it himself, Kakashi is nothing without him



What I'm getting at is that Kakashi's character depends on Obito


Without Obito, Kakashi would not exist


Even when complimenting Naruto, he has to bring up Obito


When comparing Sasuke to himself, he has to bring up his past with Obito



On the flip side, Obito is a standalone character and can exist without Kakashi


He does not depend on Kakashi for development because he has so many other connections


As a result, Obito is relevant without Kakashi but Kakashi is not relevant without Obito






Let me give u another example


Hinata and Naruto


Naruto is a standalone character obviously b/c hes the main character


But wat about Hinata, can Hinata exist without Naruto. Is she a standalone character


The answer is no


Most of her character depends on Naruto


She is relevant because of Naruto


Not the other way around


Hinata needs Naruto to further her development


But Naruto doesnt need Hinata




Its even worse with the amount of powers characters have in this series


And this chapter points it out



Kakashi is only relevant because he is the copy cat ninja due to Obito's sharingan


Lets look at other characters




Naruto


Is he strong and relevant without Tailed Beasts, the answer is yes

He got SM




Wat about Sasuke


Take away his ems and ms, and u still got Hebi Sasuke, who can still beat over half the characters in this series




Wat about Obito


Take away his kamui

and he still has wood style, cqc shuriken, katon, yin-yang

Still strong




But wat about Kakashi

Can he be relevant without Obito's sharingan

The answer is so-so cause Kakashi is smart but he wont be strong




He would be a formidable opponent but nothing compared to the top tiers

Kishi could have changed all of that when he gave his origanal eye back

Finally, Kakashi can be his own character. Finally, he can follow in his father's footsteps

But Kishi said no



And thats the problem with Kakashi's character


Can he truly exist without Obito

I have to agree with this. You can go on and on, but all you talking about is the "pen". It is part of the story for them to develop.

Wow, I can feel the hate coming from that thread, your butthurt went to the level where you don't even realize it, man go take some advil for your butthurt then go to sleep

 

[Indora]

I agree. I think this chapter proves that Kakashi is fodder without Sharingan which is unfortunate, because I hoped that he would pull one of his "thousand" jutsus, but know we will probably see Kamui and Susanoo spam. :|

Obito was created because of kakashi's existence

Obito looked up to Kakashi and vice-versa after Obito's death so no need to spam useless threads.

 

[GhostProject]

Yes, he was a certified BA in part 1 before we even knew anything about his past.

Not only that but he was a Teacher of both of the current shinobi demigods now, so he's a respected human connection that Naruto and Sasuke share, the midway point. He also now has comparable power to them (I didn't say he is stronger or that he may even be close, but comparable).

Kakashi also has to deal with the guilt he has of himself thinking he wasn't the best teacher to Sasuke and didn't help him deal with his emotional issues. Kakashi always saw a lot of himself in Sasuke (states it in part 1 I believe?), and now he shares yet another jutsu with him. Make no mistake he still has a lot to resolve with Sasuke, and I think Kishi is aiming for it now.

 

[Rogerr]

Not as relevant as he is right now.

 

[Kamui Sama]

Yes Obito developed Kakashi but it goes both ways. Obito wouldn't exist if Kakashi didn't have the sharingan when the series started Lol

Obito was created because of kakashi's existence

Obito was created because of Naruto's existence. Kakashi is there just for the further development of Obito/Minato/Rin. Vice versa.

 

[Fair Warning]

the manga isnt relevant without Sasuke

 

[VongolaX]

kakashi is the connection between Obito and naruto's story line.

That's the only important role he played.

Obito is basically a mirror image of naruto if he went the wrong way and a Uchiha.

 

[xKiD SPiiD3rMaN]

Kakashi is a main character. Obito is not.

 

[Darkakatsuki]

I agree. I think this chapter proves that Kakashi is fodder without Sharingan which is unfortunate, because I hoped that he would pull one of his "thousand" jutsus, but know we will probably see Kamui and Susanoo spam. :|

You do realise that even that what you were hoping for would only further prove that he is nothing without Obito's sharingan? Thos one thousand jutsu were only attainable because of the sharingan's copy ability.

 

[Demonic.]

Kakashi > Obito

Quite the reverse. Kakashi the copy ninja was created because of Obito

 

[lordmadarauchiha]

He would only be Naruto's teacher nothing more nothing less.
