How did the Minato vs Itachi fanwars start?

[VolatileSoul]

When did the two fandoms get so polarized? Why did the war between them start? If someone says anything against Minato, I see people who I assume are his fans start cussing out Itachi and sharingan out of nowhere, like you have to be an Itachi fan to point out any negatives in Minato. It is vice versa with Itachi fans too, although it seems they are less vocal(Or my Uchiha bias is clouding my vison) I find it funny when the two get together. Kinda like the Sasuke vs Naruto fanwars. So, like I said, when and why? They don't seem like rivals or seem all that comparable to me, aside from being benchmarks to the two main characters.

I've always wondered wonder that too, but...

I myself am a fan of both. But you have two guys that have never lost a battle so it was only a matter of time til they were compared.

 

[i OblivioN i]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

 

[Akatsuki wise guy]

It is out of the simple fact that they are both extremely powerful shinobi. It is so hard to visualize who will win. The results in each thread differs. So it keeps being brought up.

 

[Crow Zero]

When minato stomp itachi.

Itachi fans gone mad and crazy and being annoyed as hell.

The day when Minato beat the shit out of Obito BR00 U_U

 

[Cruciatus]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

You have an Itachi avatar, I feel like you have a bias.

When the First Church of Itachi and Minato fanclub got established in Narutobase!

They are parallels.

- Both sacrificed a great deal for a relative, and ultimately to save the village from destruction.

- Both where highly respected by hiruzen, and others who knew their stories.

- Both gave a gift to the relative they sacrificed themselves for, and those relatives eventually tamed and honed their gifts, which at first caused them pain.

- Both are in their own ways, "true Shinobi".

- Both are Resurrected to serve further purposes in the manga.

- Both consider themselves failures.

- Both prefer tactical fighting instead of overpowering an opponent.

- Both have extremely high intellect.

- Both have a trump card that defeats most of their opponents. (Itachi genjutsu, Minato S/T Jutsu)

They also resemble the leaf's Light and Shadow Metaphor.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

You know the fanwars are polarized as hell when you have one-sentence arguments firing off in a thread that is just asking for how it began.

 

[Altaneen]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

Itachi has no counter for FTG.

 

[Crow Zero]

Haha and you can see itachi wankers got mad by neg rep people cos they lost to minato fans.

Good question, I believe it was already here before I became a member and that was in Jan of 2011.

[Arugon]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

Itachi wins. Minato can't counter Genjutsu.

Yea and Itachi can't get out of Frog Song. Nor does he have a counter to FTG let alone, Shiki Fuujin.

 

[Deno1317]

Itachi wins without difficulty with genjutsu.

Minato can't get outta Tsukuyomi.

True if Tsukiyomi hits Minato he's a goner but if he dont look into his eyes anything can happen.

 

[Fair Warning]

Itachi fans saw a potential threat to Itachis status as the solo king, so they raged

 

[foxyladyland]

Yea and Itachi can't get out of Frog Song. Nor does he have a counter to FTG let alone, Shiki Fuujin.

itachi's counter to FTG is Susanoo or a clone maybe amateratsu also helps

plus Minato would need to have his kunai in the right place
