Uhm, yeah.. The title explains itself, but I'll ask formally. Why do
you keep on comparing those two if Kishimoto has already made it known
that they are and will forever be EQUALS? Forget the fact that Naruto's the main character, Kishi's made it known that Sasuke is too. So really, what's the problem here? Can't everyone agree, or agree to disagree? :shrug:

Um because they've been rivals since their childhood and its pretty hard not to, that's the simple answer

Naruto fans will say: Naruto!

Sasuke Fans will say: Sasuke!

Plot Fans will say: Kishimoto says their equal.

Intelligent Members will say: Sasuke hasn't shown enough tech's thus far to defeat BM Naruto. Naruto wins until proven other wise by the manga.

Now both the Plot fans and Intelligent Members statements are correct but, kishimoto cannot prove his statement to be true via the manga...therefore its taken as a contradictory statement.

People compare because naruto vs sasuke is probably the most emphasised rivalry so it's only natural for some people to end it by deciding and arguing over who's is the better one

Yeah, I agree.. they're equals. I sometimes say one is better than the other, but thats just to piss off fanboys who become too annoying. :p It happens a lot.

Because they're rivals and that's what fans do with rival characters even though by definition rivalry is a type of writing character basis where two or more characters equal in skill but varying in personality are pitted against one another as a way of developing the characters in plot and personality.

I mean.. Yes, that's exactly how it is. The story no matter how you look at it is centered around BOTH Naruto and Sasuke's growth... From beginning to end.

Because it makes absolutely no sense to compare the main hero to the antihero...:|dumbass

Yes, that's true. But it's hard to take some of these fans seriously (Sasuke or Naruto) when fans ONLY base victories off of their movesets. Pretty much they compare their battle in a Pokemon'esque fashion.. Without much thought of other abilities and factors that could decide either of their victories.

We fellow Sasuke fans well the good ones think that they will go down as equals but bad fanboys give him a bad name and reputation by saying he is a Lord i hate that how can u worship a fictional character unbelievable but some are gone now thanks to Tsuchi
