Why Naruto Uzumaki is one of my favorite characters!

[take it easy]

naruto is not optimystic fool like you think... sasuke not change his goal like naruto

Sasuke has existed as both a malevolent and benevolent being. In terms of his very existence, he's already inherently more complex than Naruto. Yes, making odd decisions is part of Sasuke's character. It is what differentiates him from others. In addition, Naruto is the cheesiest and by far the most lame character in Naruto, that is, because despite the fact he is obviously losing, he still yearns for victory when any rational person would realize failure is imminent. I suppose, it boils down to taste.

Luffy, Goku, Natsu, amongst other characters such as Ichigo aren't perfect either, though they are effectively of the same substance; Shounen manga heroes.

Nah; the reason I mentioned Sasuke was to provide a counter-example—you needn't assume the worst of me, don't be so cynical.​

​

Referring to the stuff in bold- Isn't that part of being human though? We all have the choice of being optimistic, pessimistic, or realistic. There are extremes for all three choices. For me, the fact that Naruto is optimistic is part of what draws me to his character. Mainly because I am also a very optimistic person. However, just because you don't want to give up on something even in the face of insurmountable odds doesn't mean you are naive and cheesy. You can accept that you might fail, but that won't stop you from pushing forward with all you have. This is seen many times in real life scenarios. For example, soldiers in the American Revolution were vastly outnumbered and outclassed by the British army, having no training in the art of war. Even so, they never gave up on the dream of being free from Britain's control and thus kept fighting. AND THEY WON! The odds were mounted against them yet they still managed to overcome those odds, even when they were obviously losing at times. It's because they had something that the British didn't- the will to protect their home, family, and friends. It's the same for Naruto. He refuses to give up during his fights not only because of his optimism, but also because he has things and people he wants to protect. Besides, you never know when an opportunity to change the tides will appear. If you give into despair then you might miss that chance.

I think Naruto is pretty awesome, but I just don't like how he doesn't have to make a terrible decision(like Itachi did), and he always believes he can save everything. I think if he had to make the decision between saving Sasuke and saving the village(like Hashirama did with Madara), it would build on his character a lot.

Nice written
I like naruto too,but I don't know if he's one of my fav charakters
I love the fact that he never gives up :bouncy:
rep for the effort :bouncy:

 

[Xerotes]

I too write in small font to come off more intelligent/and or cool!~2​

But nah joking aside I prefer Naruto more than Sasuke, angsty people who whine about everything and sh*t all over the dreams of their brother forever aren't my cup of tea.

 

[YellowFang]

I agree 200% with the last part...

Naruto's the best main protagonist out there...

naruto already made this decision

There is nothing special or notable about Naruto—he's merely a manifestation of a character that pertains contextually to the Shounen manga stereotype. Are there any real differences between Naruto, and, say, Luffy for example? Itachi, and Sasuke are both much more complex, well developed and unique characters.​

​

What on earth is complex about "BAHHH REVENGE NEESAN!!!"? Whatever complexity Sasuke had went down the gutter after Itachi's death.

Sabaki is here? Hope Varrah-san comes as well =D =D

I don't particularly like Naruto but I have nothing against him. In my point of view, Naruto is similar to characters such as Luffy and Goku which doesn't give me a sense of attraction to him because there are many characters that are similar to him.

 

[Sanguis]

Lord Solo King top Ninja Naruto anyone?

I have had some nice debates with them in the past. They know me well enough. ^^


PS: Comparing Naruto with Luffy or Goku is actually a compliment since these 2 are awesome too. But I like Naruto more, tho.

Lord Solo King top Ninja Naruto anyone?

Naruto doesn't need a nickname. He is just the pimp from the Narutoverse.

 

[iNotorious]

he can make up his mind, he need to let sasuke die

Naruto solos.

 

[Thoth]

I agree, Naruto is definitely a person we should all admire.

 

[EliteRamenNinja]

Forza Naruto!

Can't say I know a lot of people who would chase a bond or friendship for over 3 years. Even after they beat the hell out of you twice, he still believed he could change him. Naruto won't give into losing Sasuke as a friend and I think that is a very admirable thing to do. Naruto lived a very difficult childhood, not one too many people recover from psychologically. Yes he is a fictional character but when I compare his achievements and desires to my life, he is someone I would aspire to be like.

Off topic (I apologize in advance for this if you didn't want other input): Itachi's influence and back story on Naruto and his brother is pretty amazing to see. His back story and morals from what he grew up believing is also very inspiring to me. He had to make a tough decision and he made the choice to benefit his younger brother and to prevent a war. He strongly wanted to avoid that scenario and it's a shame he was one of the more gifted from his clan for what he was forced to do to prevent it.

Itachi inspired Naruto too, so seems legit.
