I can't discern this character.

Is he an anti-hero , that is a shinobi who can do anything and everything for the village , or a vilain as many Naruto's fan think ?

I would suggest he was the anti-hero. He never was for destroying Konoha or killing the Hokage. He only saw they're governing as weak and his ways better for the village.

" He never was for destroying Konoha "

No problem for Danzo when Pain had destroyed the village and also when Orochimaru attacked Konoha , he hasn't attempted to save the village or engage his men to help Konoha's Jounin.

...or killing the hokage "

He had attempted a coup d'etat against Hiruzen with Hanzo's help , it's for this reason that he helped Hanzo against Nagato , Yahiko and Konan , to have the help of Ame's shinobi army.

Does that make Tobirama a villain as well? He isolated the Uchiha because he feared they're Cursed of Hatred would harm the village. He thought what he did was right.
That's a tough one but I think tobimara is still a good guy with some flaws but never really acted on them that much whereas Danzo has shown to act on his hatred for uchiha in asking the third hokage to wipe them out. It's interesting because I could see it going both ways I guess

That doesn't make him a villain. That makes him a douche. He is willing to risk lives to become Hokage.

Tobirama is not exactly like Danzo.

Tobirama is always ready to protect the village. He was the first hokage among the four Edo-Hokage who want go on the Battelfield to help the shinobi alliance.

He sacrificed his life for Konoha against the Kumo's Elite Shinobi.

Danzo is different , when Konoha had been attacked several time, he remained in his hideout.

People who support Konoha and Danzo will always say there's a blurred line of what's right or wrong, but don't you dare go rogue because that's evil and should be punished.

Danzo's clearly wrong and evil as shit. He only cared about himself.

No villain believes what they are doing is wrong. Danzo is no exception. He is a villain.

He went the Utilitarian route so if we apply his same logic, we can see he did more harm than good.

Yeah, then later risk his life after relizing the understanding of what it means to be Hokage.

But you are all forgetting where Danzo comes from.

He would have died regardless. Choosing a draw when your death is imminent is not good nor evil, courageous, nor cowardly.

He was anti hero. Define: antiheroine , is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism , courage, or morality .

Although
antiheroes may sometimes do the "right thing", it is often because it
serves their self-interest rather than being driven by moral convictions.

It was game over for him, so what path he chose then didn't even matter. He knew he was going to die, so that barely counts. What matters isn't how you die, but how you live. How you lived defines who you are. Choosing a new path once you die like Danzo is just saving face when you realize nothing matters at that point.

He is not a protagonist, he's a challenge for the protagonist and creates conflict, making him a villain. If he fits anti hero then so does Obito and Madara.


Where do u think the meaning come from anti hero. Anti hero is against hero philosophy because of their weak or soft , won't get their hands dirty (naruto).
