Kakashi is a badass and one of my favourite characters but I can't help but feel he has been done wrong, especially the last few chapters.
In his fight against Obito, there was a lot of build up and flashbacks to their past, only for us to find out Obito wanted to get stabbed the entire time. That's fine, but it kind of took away from all the nostalgia and hype.
(badass panel btw)
The problem I have is that Kakashi never really had a chance to shine on his own. Most of his fights were under special circumstances like having to protect other teammates and not truly having any proper 1v1s.
He has been the barometer to hype other characters throughout the series like Itachi in part 1 and Pain.
He also held back using his MS against Kakazu so that Naruto could come along and casually oneshot with rasenshuriken. Naruto is the main character so he needed that progression, but again Kakashi didn't showcase all that he has to offer.
Kishi hyped him to have copied 1000 jutsu yet almost all that we have seen from the war arc is Kamui and Raikiri. Kamui is OP as fk but I would have loved to see him use more of his hyped arsenal.
Kishi had his chance to show more jutsu during his "rampage", but NOPE Kishi off-paneled it
And now, Kakashi has lost his sharingan, which was basically half his identity. We have people calling him a fodder, useless (which is pretty much true since he really can't do anything substantial currently).
All in all, Kakashi is still and has always been one of my favs and is still a badass but I just feel that Kishi could have showcased his skills more. With the manga coming to a close, and with Gods battling it out, I think we will never see Kakashi's true potential.
Thoughts?
