This is a list compiling all of the reasons why Itachi truly plops on all of the other characters in the NV:
- Rightly justifiable actions – From torturing his brother to make him stronger and prepare him for the world (e.g. Kaguya, Madara, Obito, Kabuto, Deidara, etc.) to killing his own clan, all of Itachi's actions have been justifiable; some characters' actions, however, aren't even remotely so. ("... You let Rin die.")
- No given/unearned powers – This is an argument that simply doesn't apply to Itachi. What has he ever been given? According to the manga, absolutely nothing. "The Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade," you say? Alright, find me a scan that says he was given those spiritual weapons and then we can talk; oh wait, you can't. "KA"? Nope, as that's the equivalent of receiving a pair of socks or a shirt; he used it on himself. Even the protagonist and the deuteragonist themselves can't say that they have even remotely earned anything in their lives without external assistance.
- Intelligence – Something about being a genius and being recognized and acknowledged as one at the raw age of 7, as well as proving the people who recognize you as one more than right, is appealing, character-wise. Maybe it's because most of the characters in their youth, even ones who grew up to be quite learned, could never dream of competing with a young Itachi in this regard. From his wise quotes (at such a young age) to his analytic, strategic, and tactical prowess and prodigious feats, Itachi's intelligence alone tends to put higher than most on most fans' character favorites lists.
- Swag (Appearance) – This guy is simply a certified badass. No, this is not at all debatable or opinionated; it's a fact. Never has Itachi had a moment that makes you think, "Wow, what a little bish," or "l0l what a feg." Itachi takes sitting in a throne to levels of swag unknown to man. When a character can make even crying look badass,[

- Abilities/'Hype' – "Totsuka blitz GG", "Yata Mirror GG", "Tsukuyomi GG", "Ephemeral GG", "Izanami GG" are just a few things Itachi fans say if their fav is ever compared to another character. How does this contribute to Itachi's critical acclaim as a character? Because, regardless of what haters say, Itachi has actually proven his hype; all of the abilities and counters posted in any Itachi versus topics have been proven by Itachi himself. He is one of the few characters to actually live up to his hype and never have it completely destroyed; some characters can't say the same (e.g. Kakashi, Minato, Hashirama, Kaguya, Kabuto, HIRUZEN, etc.).
- Moral grayness – Last but certainly not least, one of Itachi's most likable traits is that he's 'That Guy'; he's morally gray in nature. Both delusional and realistic fans can meet up with each other with Itachi; he doesn't go around with a 'ponies, care bears and rainbows' or a 'grim, dour and rotten' view of the world.
Now you know why Itachi is Kishimoto's greatest creation.
