If you're asking for opinions from people here don't try and make them change up their mind with your real life comparisations, it's a fictional story anyone can believe whatever they want without anyone else correcting them all the time, because that's what it seems what you're doing right now.
OT: By the way almost everyone in the leaf knew about it, you think 500 Uchiha's die and nobody knows anything about it? Everyone kept it quiet like when Naruto had the Kyuubi inside and the village was forced to keep their mouths shut, so in my case he can kill anyone who had something to do with it, if he were to go after children though, i would disagree with this.
Of course, you have the right to believe anything you want. I, however, also retain the right to
challenge your beliefs. I'm not correcting, I'm challenging and questioning. If you don't 'like' that, then what are you
doing in a
discussion thread?
And why wouldn't I use examples from real-life? If you believe Sasuke's actions are justified, you must believe so universally, or at least state something like; 'I believe it's morally right for Sasuke to murder hordes of infants because it's a manga/anime'. In this thread, however, we're talking about his
philosophies, which means that we have to determine whether we 'judge' his actions to be morally right, justifiable, logical or otherwise. Ethics
do change with a society, but we, from an outsiders point of view, can still comment on and judge the character's choices.
OT: Even if the civilians of Konoha
did know about the
details of the massacre, why would they deserve death? Did the German civilian population in World War 2 derseve to be put to death because they didn't revolt against the jew-killing regime that controlled their lives?
But yes, of course the civilians knew that the massacre
happened, but they didn't know their 'government' had authorized it. Even if they did; look at my example above.
Honestly, I also believe you have a very emotional reaction to this 'revenge' thing. The Uchiha Clan, after all,
was planning a Coup. I digress; the massacre was unwise, but something
had to happen. From my point of view, Sasuke hasn't shown even a tadbit of Logic in regards to that, opting instead to go with his emotions and feelings on the matter.
Justified, any real man should wanna have revenge, for those who cause their family harm.
Real man? Would a real man kill the wives and children of those who were responsible? Where is the line?
Sasuke is supposed to be blinded by hatred - it's not meant to be completely logical. Even Naruto said that his actions were understandable. Naruto! This was only after he was able to experience the pain of Jiraiya's death however.
But if I HAD to write a case for Sasuke.. I guess he could say that many innocent Uchiha died and the coup only happened because a certain fraction of Uchiha were fighting for their rights. His revenge would simply be: the slaughter of the innocent as well, because a certain number of Konoha officials planned the attack.
Sasuke said a quote one time that represents the situation.. not sure if it was anime only or not.
So his hatred is understandable? Alright.
What about his plan to kill thousands of civilians?
Oh really? I had no idea! Could you please show me the Manga-page where the Uchiha Clan attempts to negotiate?
Can you show me the page where it's stated that the Uchihas were fighting for their rights?
Reported this.
