Why is Itachi so liked by fans?

[UltimateDeadpool]

This is my understanding of Itachi:

Design: All black. Black outfit, black hair, black nail-polish, even probably had mascara on since his eyelashes were so thick. He was a pretty boy, that was his only real defining trait besides his Sharingan.

Personality: Calm, emotionless, secretive, distrusting, sympathetic, didn't talk a lot, "ends justify the means" mentality.

Story: He knew about "The Masked Man" attacking Konoha and framing the Uchiha. He could had told, cleared the Uchihas' name and united the village against Akatsuki long before this war ever happened... did he? No, he didn't tell a soul, and he chose to get "The Masked Man" to help him murder his family and his lover.

Of all the children in the Uchiha, he spared only his brother... but in doing so, mercilessly tortured him physically and mentally to force the Uchiha's curse of hatred onto him so he'd get stronger, making him sever his bonds and any semblance of a happy life, try to kill his friends, and become an enemy of Konoha all out of Itachi's selfishness... then was going to brainwash him into a good guy so he'd return to Konoha as if nothing happened and probably get killed by Akatsuki.

To make things worse, in 10 years before he died he:

Never told anyone about "The Masked Man."
Never told anyone about Akatsuki's members.
Never told anyone about Akatsuki's plans.
Never tried to stop or hinder Akatsuki.
Never tried to help Konoha.
Killed people and Jinchuuriki for Akatsuki.

Abilities: Highly ambiguous and fueled by plot and hyperboles.

 

[Hipster Madara]

IDK, I never liked him that much.
I do think he is pretty cool though.

 

[Arian]

you seem butthurt^^

 

[-Haku Yuki-]

Never told anyone about "The Masked Man." True
Never told anyone about Akatsuki's members. False he was a spy and gave info in whenever he could secertly
Never told anyone about Akatsuki's plans. look above
Never tried to stop or hinder Akatsuki. True unless you count never capturing his jinchuriki
Never tried to help Konoha. false he did everything to help konoha from the uchiha
Killed people and Jinchuuriki for Akatsuki. false itachi hasn't killed a single good guy and his only assigned target was anruto whom he never caught he didn't even help kisame catch roshi if he didn't help seal the tailed beasts he would have been held in suspicion

 

[amarusboobs]

His sacrifice. He is a 'role model', epic. Maybe best susanno set. Good guy over all.... But I don't see whats so great about Him.

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

you seem butthurt^^

No, confused.

You also didn't answer my question.

 

[Uchiha812]

Because he is the solo king
All hail lord Itachi

 

[JUICEMON GENESIS]

I never was that fond of Itachi on a personal note. But from a storytelling standpoint, he is a great character.

Why didn't he give info about "The Masked Man"? What info did he give? Nobody knew anything about Akatsuki except what Jiraiya managed to fish up. And if Itachi had enough of an opportunity to release information, why not all at once?

He did everything to help Konoha from the Uchiha, except try to talk. He even said that if he trusted Sasuke more that he may had been able to stop the conflict.

Akatsuki members were hired for missions for lower rates than other villages in order to raise money for their operations. So yes, he killed people. He did try to capture Naruto. He did help Kisame capture Roushi, remember Kisame's dialogue? He said to Itachi "You didn't fight him directly."

 

[Bogard]

Personally i like Itachi because of his character, the statements he makes and his fighting style. I hate his fanboys though

 

[Strawberry]

Hates or not solo or not
itachi is that quiet calm cool character that doesn't reveal too much sort of surrounded by mystery till now he has an awesome skill set
characters like him are found in every almost all manga. They play a necissary part.

 

[Dark Artist]

he is overrated and overhyped by idiots

the coolest Uchihas are Sasuke , Obito

Itachi>character/statements/fighting style

 

[JaffaTalk]

I deplore such a thinking ! those people are mistaken indeed to admire Itachi's fashion, CUZ he is a WORST traitor to UCHIHA...

I do deplore Itachi and think that he is an ultimate scum not to KILL a punk who stole his best friend's eye which inevitably caused his suicide....hmm

Shisui tried to save Uchiha by the means of Kotoamatsukami, but Danzo just wanted to annihilate the whole clan, what Itachi just helped him to do....:scorps:

 

[P3ĮÑ]

I like him but the fanboys ruined him in every aspect, going as far as saying itachi>>>juubi just doesn't seem right

that info jirya had gotten was passed by itachi was my general assumtion and

I'm the one who wanted to go alone by fight directly he meant at all.

only people we KNOW he killed was the uchiha clan anyone else off screen can't count because we don't know if he really did, we can't say how much info itachi gave on akatsuki but i assume it was fair enough for them to get by they didn't know itachi was a spy it'd be weird for all this info to come out of no where so he gave small bits. and

he wanted to warn danzo his excuse to kisame "let's catch the ninetails" otherwise kisame would have suspected something

btw not a fanboy he did make large mistakes his plan had flaws which is why it failed

Kishimoto made Itachi's abilities somewhat vague, but gave him plenty of hype. It's illogical to assume that Itachi could possibly defeat Juubi in the scope of the manga, but it's those no-limit fallacies that make it work.

I will say that I hate Kishimoto for that, it just gives trolls an endless fuel. The manga suggests a nice spot of power for Itachi in the series, one that's greater than most characters possess but still makes sense in the context of the manga. I don't know why it's ignored in favor of an unreasonable level of power that's impossible to possess in the series.

That is the way you see the character, not everyone does.

The elders already knew about akastuki. They were the ones who forced Itach to join it. Itachi might have even been the one who told them.

He kept kisame from killing Naruto by telling him they would lose the battle, had he not Kisame would have taken Naruto.
He kept Tobi away from it from Konoha.

He did not kill any jinchuuriki and everyone in the ninja world kills people; it's their job.
