Kakashi used to be my second fav. Now I just don't feel the same way anymore. Yes kishi ruined him. There was no need to get rid of his sharingan. Neither was there any need to make him Hokage while Tsuande was still alive and well.
Those 1000 jutsu that were hyped since early part 1 and then again in the war arc, yet completely shoved aside. I haven't watched the movie, but if what I've heard is true, then that is just pitiful. Way to ruin a character. I thought Minato got it bad, but Kakashi was destroyed beyond repair. What happened to all his talent and genius and prodigy that he was regarded as even before the sharignan... Jonin at age 12-13 is quite a big deal. Already created an A rank - S rank jutsu by that age as well. Then kishi does him dirty like this. That's unforgivable shoddy writing in my eyes.
This manga that was once about natural talent and hard work . Turned into predestined BS DBZ rikudo power up crap. Literally hand outs left and right. All that hard work thrown away in the end just like that. Naruto went from his strongest form being sage mode (which only put him in like the top 20, went from KCM to BM to BSM to Rikudo BS Mode all within the span of 2 days in the war arc.
That's why the likes of Minato, Ay, Third Raikage, Hiruzen etc are the ones I like the most. No BS needed.
