This manga wants to make me believe Tobirama was a bad guy...

But actually I like this character very much. Even more now. From the moment Edo Tobirama came, I already liked his attitude. But in these flashbacks... He actually acted like the 'realest' ninja from that era.

Some people calling him a racist? C'monn. Why is he a racist? He just loved his clan and he was ready to fight for it. He also understood, as the first one, that Madara will always be a danger. And he was right. AND when he was Hokage, he sacrificed his life for his team, and one member of that team was an Uchiha. So no, Tobirama was not a racist, he was a realist!

I have the feeling Kishimoto wants to give us the feeling Tobirama is an agressive person. But actually Tobirama is one of the most believable characters from the entire manga.

The people that call him racist are just Uchiha fanboys/girls.

I'm also a Tobirama suporter.
He's just not naive like his older brother.

Tobirama is one of those ninja that keep his emotions out of it, he knows what's important and will fight to the death to protect it.
The man is a badass... pure and simple... a motherf*cking badass!

Cause he's a real ninja, real ninja's cancel out their emotions in order carry their mission.
-Kabuto
-Itachi
-Kisame
-Even TenTen
-Tobirama

are good examples of imo real ninja's.

There are no good or evil. That is just a bold definition misused over and over. People would also call Danzo evil, but in fact he was as much a realist as Tobirama was.

I never thought of Danzo as a bad guy. He was just a realist, but his ways 'for victory' were harsh.

If only he showed a little more respect towards the Uchiha than everything would have been different. :/

Uchiha killed his little brother. It is normal he was still angry. But he was ready for the peace between both clans, he only said he would watch them closely... And he was right! The Uchiha-clan was still a danger, look at how Sasuke is reacting now...

Plus he didn't go into ButtHurt mode like Madara did. That deserves respect.

I'm just saying, Hashirama put past behind so that it wouldn't continuously repeat itself.
They were Hashiramas brothers too, as well as Madara having ALL of his brothers killed.

I guess its true he was watching over them but to me it seems it was Tobirama fault that Madara turned into pure evil, he knew that his clansmen would die by Tobirama's hands and even told his clansmen. They wouldn't ever forget that and as soon as they suspected they were being used then they retaliated.

Madara was over-reacting. Tobirama was no massmurderer. The Uchiha-clan were sick of Madara too... That says enough.
