Orochimaru and nagato changed their hearts before it was too late. They didn't fully accomplish their goal to destroy the leaf because there were reasons that moved them to change.
[ okay, well Orochimaru hasnt show us that he doesnt mean any harm to konoha but still he seems to be helping.]

Now obito is seemingly facing the same fate. After massive destruction he has done, there is a possibility that naruto can change him.



Is it okay for villains to have a change of heart? to be good at the end? or you want them to go as wild as a beast until they are thoroughly defeated?

Do you want more actions and twists or you want conflicts to be solved peacefully via good talk?



What I believe U_U:

It's okay if maybe 1 or 2 have a change of heart. It gets ridiculous when it's all of them.

Your logic is flawed on one thing:

The fact that the villains in Naruto weren't born evil. That is the point of kishimoto's manga.

Orochimaru went bad after is parent's death.. however most of you try to make him into a "lord of evil" type of a character when he isn't.....

Nagato.. was changed by Obito.. Naruto simply changed Nagato back to his original self.

Also for Obito.. doesn't matter if Obito changes sides. He will still be put on punishment as Naruto said.

And no not all of them got a change of heart. They just died and even that made people unhappy. ( Deidara, Kakuzu). The focus of the manga is on villains who are conflicted internally and not out and out evil.

Kishi can never win with such a fan base though.

Yeah i think so cuz when one remains evil his name is always treated as taboo to others which is not a very good thing for a character so i believe that villain should remain evil before they die and change their heart at brink of death that's make make everything clear you know

Orochimaru is lord of evil, that man killed children, performed experiments on humans of all ages. Transformed himself in to a unrecognizable being. His sole purpose is to know everything at the cost of anything. That man is twisted to the very core. Orochimaru is a great example of truly evil. TNJ doesn't work on this guy.

In my opinion, its a good thing to have a few main villains have a change of heart. Because when villains have a change of heart, it really adds a level of humanity to the character, thus a far better character arc. However, when every single villain gets TNJ'd by Naruto in the same exact way, then no. The villains should not have a change of heart, because at that point it gets predictable, repetitive, and the TNJ itself loses the original value/purpose.

Obito has killed more. #bloody mist # 4th world war. Orochimaru fails in comparison.

"TNJ" Doesn't work on this guy. yea, but his parent's death sure did. =]. The guy shed tears when he was about to kill Hiruzen. And on top of that he had a secret agenda for attacking konoha. :)

Obito has not killed children with a grotesque intent like orochimaru. And if he did, it wasn't directly, it was children killing each other. :rolleyes:

Oro left Anko alive and let her return to Konoha. So far we see no ulterior motive. He also seem to have sort of retired currently.

Anyway you are only reminding us that not all villains have had the same ending. ^_^
