Sasuke was the true underdog.

[LeSauce]

Before the fight at V.O.T.E he seems less powerful and even feels like he is because of what happened against Gaara, yet he wins.

When Naruto gets SM we have BZ say he could win and Naruto's fight with Pain, yet Naruto is then shown to say that he needs Kurama to stand a chance.

During the war arc, everyone made fun of people who said Sasuke was going to meet the sage, yet he met him.

As well, everyone thought that Naruto was going to be the next Rikudou Senin and Sasuke was going to have no part in the prophecy, yet he was one to help save everyone.

No one thought Sasuke would awaken PS, yet he did.

No one thought Sasuke was comparable to Naruto in power, yet he fought along side Naruto, proving to be close in power.

Everyone thought Naruto was far ahead of Sasuke and that he would stomp Sasuke, he was even given better feats against Kaguya, yet it ended up in a tie at V.O.T.E 2.

So as you can see, Sasuke has always been the one people doubt, both in the manga and out of it. He has been the true underdog for the majority of Shippuden, proving people wrong. Even now people underestimate him.

Good thread.

 

[Mypower]

Yeah, no. Naruto is the real underdog. Sasuke received so many power ups it's not even funny and still couldn't beat Naruto fairly.

The only 3 version of Sasuke that's actually likeable are Part 1 Sasuke Hebi Sasuke and the Current one the rest are terrible.


No offense I don't hate Sasuke I just dislike him but he's a "good" character nevertheless.

 

[Angelic.]

not doubt. he just gets pulled along the power of the main character.

After all this, we still never see futon rasengan clash

 

[Im Still Robin]

I agree, best naruto character overall.

OT: I have to agree, but not entirely. I myself always thought that they would tie in the end and was sure of Sasuke being very capable etc. I do see your point though. The amount of people that went completely against him was overwhelming.

 

[Gerkak]

Well this is your opinion after all

Even then, that's not futon rasengan

Dat plebs, always keeping to understimate Sasuke, such insolence....

 

[Mikeuhsomething36]

It's funny how saauke haters make more threads about sasuke then their own fave . Everyone underestimated sasuke, first people said saauke wouldn't get rinnegan because he'd be too OP, well sasuke gets an even better rinnegan than people first thought then they proceed to say sasuke gets negged even with rinnegan against Naruto :leaf:. People just can't admit that sasuke us equal to Naruto as they are yin and yang people can try to make up any reason for why the latter is stronger than the former all they want but kishi's own words neg diff any fanfap boy/girl logic

Sasuke is a great character, he really is the underdog, he's a character that people could easily fanboy over but saauke base is the most decent uchiha fan base (arguably), sasuke fans aren't utachi fanboys that have to edit manga scans to make our fave look good, he looks good by himself . We aren't obito fans who...obito has legitimate fans ? We aren't madara fans that we have to constantly fap to our fave's feats on a constant notion . Sasuke is bliss, he doesn't simply handles by himself and his fans understand, dat sauce

 

[Melanin]

Yes sir, his daughter has a lot to live up too..

 

[-immortal-]

I don't want to call my favo character an undersog
Simply the best character in the manga is what he is.

 

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

sorta.

naruto was like given 9 pets, sage power, rikoudo sage mode, black balls

sasuke was given one tomoed rinnegan

yet sasuke stomped naruto in vote 2 before kishimoto decided to nerf full bijuu sasuke

 

[Neji Hyūga2]

I don't know where you're getting the "No one thought" thing from, because most the people I know didn't rule anything of that sort out for Sasuke.

Also, despite the stuff you mentioned, Sasuke has been #1 since the start and maintained that rep throughout the whole series essentially. He just progressively kept getting stronger until the point that he's basically a Demi-God.

At least with Naruto, he was totally unskilled and wasn't that good and just improved so well that he became an equal with someone that had everything going for him in terms of skill. And that is why I still say that Naruto was the underdog if you're comparing the two.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

It wasn't tie , if naruto wanted to kill him and was 100% healthy it would've been an unholy godstomp but ohh well......

 

[ninjarasengan]

You'd have to blame Kishimoto for people underestimating him...

He repeated a cycle of having Naruto face tough opponents before facing Sasuke.

Sound guys before first V fight

Orochimaro before TS reunion

All the fighting during the war

Can't blame people for wondering how a fight would go if they were both fresh.

They were both nerfed, un mastered rinnegan sasuke ties with non intent to kill serious Naruto, mastered rinnegan sasuke in VOTE2 would just cause Naruto to fight with intent to kill and they'd still even out . It wouldn't make sense for an unmastered rinnegan sasuke to equal an intent to kill Naruto as that would just imply mastered rinnegan sasuke destroys Naruto when they are both equal. Why can't people just take them being equal is kishi's own words so hard to comprehend
