[Discussion] Danzo is the root of Evil

[Kurama2012]

He didn't do anything versus pain because of plot.

Thats the reason Team Gai was away when Pain came and Danzo did not fight Because he would have solo'd Pain and Gai would have also. Its all plot man. Plus you cannot call Danzo evil, he is the least evil of most characters. Everything he did was to protect his village and its people 100%. He wanted to leave no room for error and doubt so he made sure the village got protected his way remember: If you want something done right you have to do it yourself. His love for the village was greater than anyone's, so much that he created an entire new branch of government(Root) run directly by him to do the dirty work that needed to be done so that the village would prosper. Everyone needs someone like that and Danzo did the job perfectly.

letting the people die so he could become hokage isn't evil? danzo is nothing but a tyrant. the man would kill his own mother if it meant moving an inch closer to becoming hokage

just because he says he cares for the village that does not give the guy a free pass.

danzo dying is the best thing he has done

 

[maniaoqan]

He was great ninja but a bad person.

 

[Xlad]

Nah. I think he is a tyrant.

 

[Monad]

I believe Danzo is a bad person. He veiled good intentions for the leaf village as an excuse for him to gain power and ultimately he only cares about himself. The guy only wanted to become Hokage because of the rivalry he had w/ Hiruzen in his younger days, to satisfy himself.

In the Sasuke vs Danzo fight, Danzo preached at how the shinobi of the leaf should sacrifice themselves for the sake of the village when he himself proved to be the one who was most afraid of death/sacrifice. He only detonated himself in the end because of that chidori spear to the heart he knew he was going to die at that point either way.

You could argue that he saved the village from war when stopping the Uchiha coup d'etat well this was true but he still did twist things so they could favour his angle (gaining Shisui's sharingan). And in the invasion of pain arc Danzo could of easily used his abilities against Pain or at least help the village. Why not? He's selfish end of story.

Thanks sasuke ...

He made Kabuto kill his mother,thus making him lose his Identity.

He also was the one who helped Orochimaru during chunnin exams,as mentioned by Raikage.

And I think he also was the one who told Obito about Kushina's delivery exact time,'cause both danzo and tobi seemed to know each other,but I may be wrong.

 

[Goetia]

I despise Danzo, he's just a d*ck (even though a majority of my favourite characters are d*cks) and he is so corrupt and his methods are disgusting. I was happy when he was grovelling on the ground from his defeat.

 

[YokoKurama]

Nice way to state the obvious.

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Nope. Hashirama is the rout of all evil.

Everyone evil has either been a random psychopath, or trying to destroy the system that Hashirama set up. You must admit that it was a faliure. Tobirama was hokage during the 1st shinobi world war, so hashirama must have died of something. Since Hashirama knew Tsunade, then that means the system allowed for 4 seperate world wars in a 50 year period.

 

[Meee]

Adolf Hitler wanted what's best for Germany. Does that make him an antivillian instead of a full fledged demon?

This.....It kind of annoys me when ppl justify the bullshit Danzo has done becuz he "did it for Konoha"

I like the guy but he was a major d*ck.

 

[EVlL]

but tobirama was the of uchiha getting cornered. thats where the hatred came from

 

[Korowa]

What Chie said holds some merit.

Danzo wanted to rule the Leaf and protect it his way as hokage (which is a bad/good thing). But it is mostly bad so he's an antivillain.

He's still a prick, just not on the level of Madara, Obito, or Orochimaru.

Whatever you say guy...there are better ways to protect the leaf village other than doing what hes done.

 

[flyboyissac]

Better villian.then obito

 

[mohdzarif]

Surely he loved his village, but there was a problem with that.

He was selfish. He was like didn't want to have good relations with other nations. All he wanted was for Konoha to be the greatest that rule them all! His ideology is very much opposite of Hashirama's, Jiraiya's etc.

Casting Koto Amatsukami on Mifune so that he could become the leader of alliance. Then started his rhetoric about uniting the villages but indeed what he really wanted is for Konoha to rule over all of them. That kind of greed will cause hatred and uneasiness on other villages and thus another war will be imminent. "The cycle of hatred" will never end with his methods.

And like others said, he would do anything so that he could gain power even if it means sacrificing innocent lives.

You forgot that he and his "Root" deliberately hid themselves when Pein was killing and destroying Konoha so that Tsunade would go down and he could become Hokage.

He was willing to let innocent lives be sacrificed to gain power. Yeah, he really wanted to protect the villagers 100% right???

And where was he during Orochimaru's invasion? I bet he was involved in that considering his good relation with Orochimaru. Even Ay suspected that Danzou was involved in Oro's invasion.

 

[Chie]

Not everything he did was to protect the village. He's still a really bad guy and his morals are crap.

But you cannot really deny that he cared about the village to some extent. He just wanted to rule it completely his way, which also sucks.

So once again, he's not as bad as Oro, Madara, or Obito. He's just an antivillain. Kishimoto pretty much confirmed he was a good guy, who just goes about things in a shady (bad) manner. U_U

At least he redeemed himself in the end by stopping Obito from getting Shisui's eye.

No.

He's not totally evil, but he still is pretty evil at the end of the day. He has good intentions and just does things in a negative manner=antivillain

 

[Crepsa]

This has been discussed a thousand times. He's good but uses evil ways
