I personally don't think we'll ever see Kabuto again in the series- because his final lines in Gaiden allowed the character to come full circle.

Very nice touch Kishi. On another note, how did Kabuto become head of the orphanage? Didn't Urushi say that 'his house is an orphanage'?

How does that instantly translate to Kabuto the reformed war criminal becoming main father figure to 50 Uchiha Onion babies & other kids lol

Definetly agree. He got some of the best closure in the whole manga. I think Itachi comes 1st in terms of closure.

He literally wouldn't be allowed to escape the cave if he hadn't reformed. Somebody did the math and found out that in illusion time- Kabuto was in Izanami for 30+ years.

I give that personally to Shikamaru. True adult themes show that without complaining he not only took on the most responsibilities of any character despite the 'what a drag' immaturity of his childhood...but he also completely is at peace and loves becoming a man like his father- giving into being a father and a husband despite avoiding it throughout the entire series.

Kabuto and Itachi v similar tho and when Kishi felt like it he gave both a lot of nice writing treatment.

I think it's cause the real kabuto knows about being an orphan is like? It's not like kakashi wouldn't know he was reformed(I say kakashi cause he was probably hokage when he was made head of the orphanage) I personally didn't like kabuto, or much of his story, but the way he ended up in the manga was actually a perfect ending for him after seeing his childhood imho

I personally think this was the nicest ending he could've possibly had...maybe not the one he deserved. I always loved him because the idea of a identity crisis is a very real one in my experience & it's also so so interesting on paper. Kabuto is one of many characters who had literally just one thing to live for and had it purposely stripped from them just like my other favourite Obito.

I'm sure both Sasuke and Naruto could've proved his innocence- Sasuke knowing about Izanami and Naruto being able to sense evil and all that.

Kabuto has a good ending it's just weird seeing him as a nice guy with that face.

Kabuto was a decent character I guess. I think we just might see him again.

Lmao @ dem onion babies..

It's obvious rlly: He Who Cannot Be Soloed put tht Palm on him and gave him the Word. When he opened his eyes he saw the error of his ways and went to do the only sensible thing left to him: worship m'Lord Crow & the sharingan.

Hold dem onions down & praise He Who Cannot Be Soloed with them.

I'm sure naruto's apologetic and sasuke witnessing itachi having sympathy for kabuto enabled his current position.

Was either that or going all out to kill him like sasuke initially intended lol

A mass-murdering dragon-snake acting as a surrogate father to onion clone children who killed their father without hesistation. Sounds like a recipe for some of the coolest guys in the future.

Nice find - I never noticed the parallel of the words he hears, then years later, says.
I agree that was nice work on Kishi's part.

I guess Gaiden had a redeeming quality after all.

Kabuto must think of Itachi as a God tbh
