A lot of people love and admire this character but God is he a mistake. I mean come on, Hokage level intelligence at the age of seven? Give me a break. Itachi hadn't had half the brain to attend one Uchiha clan meeting to figure out the specifics of the plan and persuade the clan otherwise, he just let things coast.

Itachi tells Sasuke to kill his best friend for the Mangekyo, endangering the life of some random stranger for the sake of his personal vendetta. If Naruto hadn't been in team 7, whoever chased Sasuke down to the Final Valley would have died from that first chidori.

Itachi talks about how you shouldn't judge people based off of shallow misconceptions and yet he perceives the unruliness of his clan as annoying, fearful, and backwards pride rather than hearing his own clan's discrepancies out. He says and does both of these things in the same day. Congratulations Itachi, way to show virtue.

Itachi constantly flip flops, one minute concerned about peace and stability and the next minute "forgetting" to inform Konoha on the abilities of Akatsuki, causing unnecessary deaths that could have been avoided. He tortures his own little brother mentally, punches him in the gut, slaughters his entire family and extended family but can't bring himself to be angry at a village that segregated his clan and accused them of evils.

Itachi is an idealistic, brainwashed, patriotic, bland, sagely moron with no personality. This dude's entire life was ruined, along with the lives and dreams of his brother and family and still has the nerve to say "I'm still Itachi Uchiha of the leaf." The sheer brainwashing and blind patriotism in that just makes me worry about the people who love Itachi.


PS : If you are a part of a small ethnic group being mistreated by a government, please run a scan over the group to find any Itachi fans. The last thing you need is to be double teamed by that person and his psycho buddy in your sleep.

You sound jealous.

Jealous of a character with no personality.

Jealous of a character incapable of hearing out the problems of his relatives, but capable of torturing and slaughtering them.

Jealous of a character who endangers the lives of random academy kids so his brother can acquire an eye that could lead to blindness, rendering his brother defenseless.

Jealous of a character who decides to negotiate with the village and make threats AFTER the massacre of his family rather than before.

I can't see myself being jealous of that.

Itachi's character is flawed no doubt. Probably due to the fact that Kishimoto may have switched sides with him being a villain, to a double agent hero.

On the offhand I just add him to the list of characters Kishimoto failed to portray correctly. He had a lot of potential. Personally for me I think Itachi as a villain would have been more iconic than Itachi the savior.

He really improved Part 1 when he was introduced along with Kisame. I remember how cool and impressionable he was.

indeed

the truth of the Uchiha massacer and all the shit Itachi did still isn't jutified

he is cool... sure but how he directed his brother and then pretended to be shocked when Sasuke turned evil is silly

also the more came out the more I hated Hiruzen the scum that he is (two faced ass Hokage that tries to keep all the dirt on Danzou's side when he is the true authority) SCUM


HIRUZEN YOU DIRTY SCUM OFF THE END OF A OLD ASS SHOE THAT IS DAMP FROM TOILET WATER FROM A OLD RETIREMENT HOME

Yeah I don't understand why people can't face sharp criticism. To say that Itachi is a flawed character doesn't make him a shit character, but you have to remember Kishimoto as a writer completely.

He isn't some God. People gravitate to Itachi more because of his outside appearance and his abilities.

If you take away the Sharingan and his Genjutsu, you'll notice that his actual story line has holes in them. I like Itachi but it's the truth.

If he wasn't presented as a suave Uchiha, I doubt he would of risen the ranks in terms of his story line. Kishimoto flip flopped with him hard.

You're still unable to refute my criticism, merely thumbing my post down.

Personality? Your opinion.

As for the rest? Personally, I would have preferred it if he remained evil.

Be honest, he has no clear personality. He's entirely silent, most of his actions are based off of no emotion and the ones that are based off of emotion are poorly thought out, leaving clear holes in which Sasuke could die or be endangered. He seems intelligent and kind hearted, but betrays those traits in a completely polar way.

He claims that the Uchiha clan fear what they don't understand, but fails to point out that the village fears a clan of people despite not trying to get to know them better or clear up any grudges or misunderstandings. He's perfectly fine with hurting and talking down to his family, but incapable of doing the same to his village.

Itachi's personality is directionless, completely bland. I'm convinced that if either of us entered his mind, it'd be quite blank.

Itachi is supposed to be a peaceful, intelligent, kind man but is completely incapable of seeing through his own biases but can apparently read others like books and tell THEM what's wrong with THEMSELVES. Itachi is incapable of looking at himself and saying, wow, I really did make a mistake there, or wow, what I'm about to do is completely wrong and unjust but it'll cause the Fourth Great Ninja war so I better just wipe out people I've known as a child who helped raise me to protect people who dislike them.

Itachis a good character BECAUSE of his flaws (imo) if he where to inform anyone in konoha of anything zetsu would of ratted. The fact that he realizes most of his actions where a mistake and that the path he tried to steer sasuke down was a mistake his character came full circle for me. The man did the best he thought he could to protect the leaf in what ways he could

You mean being calm and reserved is not a personality? You want him to be either obnoxious like Naruto or an ******* like Sasuke? Part of his character is to be hard to read. His father said that. And most of your complaints are a result of us wondering if his actions were actually good. Which like I said, would be fixed, if he remained evil.

He never did realize what he did was wrong, he merely acknowledged it but didn't act on it.

He calls himself Itachi of the Leaf, incapable of just admitting that everything he did was wrong entirely and realizing that Konoha was actually at fault. He knows it'd be a spit in the face of his family to call himself Itachi of the Uchiha Clan. He lost that privilege when he did something that didn't have to be done. He's clearly a lost child, unable to identify with the people he really loved.

Konoha was wrong, but when you slaughter your entire family for something that used you and threw you aside, convincing you to love it, specifically the place you're born in, it'd be hard to say that that particular entity was evil and all wrong. It'd be a spit in the face to all of your efforts.
