It's gorgeous and I want it desperately. Sadly it was something ridiculous like 600 Euros and is also out of stock.

The threads made sure get repetitive.

Haven't seen a single person stand back without bias and analyse how the two characters are almost identical actually.

Did u even read it doe

Keep up watching it then. I got a collectors figure that was officially sold-out at "eBay" a few weeks later. Maybe you will find something there too :>

They are the same character? Well, that's wrong.

They are the same character? Well, that's wrong.

Socially wronged and lonely youth finds another family in the form of Team 7. After seeking the guidance of a previous generation guru that shares their same archetype they leave the village with each other in mind as they try to outgrow the other. Both realise there is more to their goals than meets the eye as they're both forced out of childhood and forced to question the grander scheme of the shinobi world. Through defeating Akatsuki and being inspired by more interesting characters around them they are led to joining the war. Here they're both indirectly inspired by previous incarnations of themselves to fit into their Yin/Yang, Younger/Elder son roles as they both play into BZ and Hagoromo's endgame. Both acquire giant glowy avatar giant forms and are each gifted Sage powers.

Here they both intend to put their Shinobi system in place by connecting/disconnecting the people of the world. Their ideologies are so symmetrically opposed that they're near-identical. Sasuke's 698 reveal shows his true insecurities were secretly exactly that of PTS/early Shippuden Naruto's. Post 699 it is revealed that they both struggle with the hardship of fatherhood and are consciously or not co-dependent. As a result, they both protect the Ninja World as Sun & Moon and as a result have their lineages struggling.

Two sides of the same coin is the term i'd use.

I know earlier in this thread I critiqued both Naruto and Sasuke for being boring, but I agree with this at least.

Sasuke is highly motivated and doesn't screw around, working hard to accomplish his goals. He's never really just sitting around brooding etc. He's not changing his look to express something, or trying to express anything to anyone, really, unless he's dealing with a target of his hate or if someone challenges him.

Naruto's the same, really. OP is right to say they're mostly the same, however:

In the plot, Sasuke comes off as more motivated than Naruto because he's doing a variety of things to accomplish his goals (which evolve over time), whereas the last thing Naruto directly did the achieve his goal (become Hokage) happened in the chunin exams.

After that, Naruto's goal was just always to bring Sasuke back to light, whereas Sasuke shifted between getting vengeance on Itachi, to discovering the truth of his brother's actions, to avenging Itachi, to creating a world that he believed was appropriate in resolving what had happened to Itachi.

Thus, it's easy to find Sasuke more compelling than Naruto. People try to say it's because he's like, the Shadow to Naruto's Sonic, and shallowly appeals to people who want to be edgy and dark, but Sasuke isn't just some apathetic teen wangster that his detractors portray him as.

Nonetheless, both are pretty meh.

Naruto's the quintessential good guy, and that's fine, because shonen manga need protagonists, but like...

You can be highly motivated and still love a good Linkin Park brooding session. Honestly other than maybe Shadow there is no single character considered more of an edgy archetype in pop culture than Sasuke.

Ideals make them different.

I think the whole vengeance path is very typical nowadays and I'm sick of the dark haired quiet emo character

Naruto's character is very cliche also but there's a charm to his ignorance and it works because he doesn't ever sway


However Guy and Lees ideals are the best in the whole series bar none

you meam the same rehashed hard work bullshit?
