Why do people like Itachi?

[Tihsan Jakoan]

Itachi killed his comrades/clan to save Sasuke according to Tobi (Obito). Okay, Itachi was a good elder brother. But why do people always say he is a legend.. he sacrificed himself to save Konoha.. Blah blah blah.. Can anyone tell me why do people like Itachi? ?

 

[Six Paths]

His purpose as a shinobi, outweighed the connection to the clan. He surpassed his pride, his inheritance, his entire love for his family, just to prevent a war, which could have been born, after the Uchiha attacked and weakened the base of Konoha. He is a legend, his way of thinking was many steps ahead, doing things for the collective goodness for everyone. A utilitarian base of philosophy. However, despite everything, despite his immense strength in overcoming his pain, his burden. He couldn't do this to Sasuke. The strongest scene was clearly stated by Fugaku.... "Our pain will only last a second, in difference to you. You should know, I am proud of you. But please, take care of Sasuke". He was indeed... a true hokage.

 

[Guntah]

Because he's the ultimate power fantasy trip in this series.

...well, its more than that obviously, but that's what I got from the people who like him.

 

[Chikombo]

I don't know, he is cool. Maybe it's cus he seemed like a bad person but then he turned out to be a good person. Maybe that's debatable but I think that revelation is what makes him a compelling character, and that he was strong, not like Madara but still powerful and smart probably helps too.

 

[salamander uchiha]

He's got many solo powers and isnt limited to 1 that is all. As for killing his family and clansmen possibly other children etc he's worse than trash.

I believe the American Miltary has a motto which I quite like God, Core, Country. In English loyalty to God, then to family then to nation. If loyalty to the latter undermines loyalty to the former than its to be disobeyed.

Yata Mirror GG.

Only Sakura can break it with her Shanaro.

 

[Ansatsuken]

-Bcus Itachi Solo

-Bcus Yata and Totsuka

-Bcus FTC

-Bcus Tsukuyomi and Finger Jutsu

-Bcus Sasuke cant beat Itachi fair and square

-Bcus manga wanked him (e.g, Mentality like Hokage, true Hokage, etc etc)

Thats what I know

And I can only find just a few fans who like Itachi bcus of his personality, motives, demeanor, and life lesson.

People can prove I'm wrong. I will glad to hear it open minded.

 

[Belserion]

I don't know why people calm Itachi out for having so many fans when I barely see them around :|

 

[DiamondxDust]

I think Itachi is cool as hell, but I don't consider all of his actions to be heroic. He murdered his clan to prevent war? admirable. Couldn't kill his brother despite everything and loved him more than the village? heartwarming. Cruelly tormenting and torturing your younger brother, tossing him headfirst into a pitch black hell of pain and hatred all as an act to make him stronger? I'm sorry, but that's ****ed up. He is almoat single handedly responsible for pushing sasuke into darkness and evil, and caused so many problems in doing so. How can anyone support that?

 

[Lyke]

Bullshit thread, itachi solos

 

[FuriouslAngel]

Itachi solos

 

[Guntah]

Yata Mirror GG.

Cool.

 

[Made in Heaven]

Used to love Itachi even more than Hinata believe it or not, hence my first user name :lol I just hate how he became a Gary Stu

 

[Team7monaa]

He's compelling and ominous.

Itachi is a power trip self insert.

He sacrificed innocent lives for the village; lives that were not his to take. Rather than confronting the Elders about how his people were treated and demanding that both sides come to an agreement, like a true Hokage would, he simply let's things unfold and then kills his own people for the sake of "stopping a war". We all know there were other options, and Itachi chose the most disgusting one. He's not a hero, even he knows that. Heroes listen to both sides and bring them together, they are mediators, not biased mind-controlled soldiers.

Itachi was not a pacifist, he was not at the mental level of a Hokage at age 7, and he was not a hero. The Hokage is a leader and considers everyone in his village worth listening to, not cut off because they're the minority and the majority hate them and deem them traitors.

He's a self insert power fantasy for people who think they are misunderstood geniuses. He's the wrong person to admire or look up to.

 

[Brady]

And about that whole "surpassing his connection to the clan nonsense". That was retarded. The village clearly showed that they'd choose themselves before the Uchiha, and are willing to throw them aside for the "greater good" rather than hear them out. When another group is willing to do that to yours, it entirely justifies you putting your clan before the village. You never put strangers before your family, it never ends well because no one is going to care about you unconditionally like they do, and no one is going to have your back for the long haul like they will.

I'm not saying Itachi should have let the Uchiha plan a bloody coup'detat that would end lives, but he should have known that his clan was nothing more than a tool for the village. He was young, and naive. Had he listened to his father and they both weighed the facts, he would have realized what was truly necessary which is an Uchiha seceding from the village.

I don't think he could have convinced them. The Uchiha had become a group of terrorists, if Itachi had not done anything then there would have been war, so the peaceful option was not to let that happen.
I think being the mind of a hokage early is more about looking at the bigger picture appreciating other stuff than just being loyal to your clan. It's like a person lookng at atheism instead of his own religion he is born into. I don't think it means he was super smart.
Hashirama wanted the village to be a place for peace and not resort to the clan warfare they had before so that was what Itachi wanted to protect.
Don't think you understand the character, he didn't do what most people would have.
To be an outsider but still, I think that's incredible.

The Uchiha didn't do anything wrong, they were not terrorists. A Hokage is a leader, and a leader listens to all sides. Itachi was not capable of listening to the complaints of his clan and killed them off. The Uchiha could have been convinced, but Itachi never tried to convince them. He thought himself above the petty clan pride of his people and it costed his entire clan's existence.

 

[InfiniteMugen]

I don't know if he follows the Gary Stu deal like people make it out, the dude pretty much failed at what he set out to achieve in the first place
