danzo is the embodiment of "winning the battle losing the war" he succeeded in virtually EVERYTHING he planned, almost all of his little schemes worked, and they worked perfectly but at the end of the day it didnt help him, it didnt save him and he still lost
There's also the implication in the Itachi novels that Danzo leaked the info about Naruto not just to have the village united against him, but so that Naruto would be alone and easy to manipulate and control in the future, because Danzo hoped to aquire the nine tails power alongside the sharringan and hashirama cells he already had
That's not why smh. He thought it was stupid in the first place to keep it secret. Nine Tails just rampaged a few years back and killed Minato. He leaked the knowledge so some stupid bully wouldn't push him too far and start Nine Tails attack part 2. Chalk it up to another dumb decision on Hiruzen's part.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 he wanted to weaponize Kurama as a threat to the other nations not cause he thought Hiruzen's idea was dumb and because Hiruzen wouldn't agree to it to make Naruto a perfect jinchuriki like kushina an mito were he got angry with Hiruzen an leaked the info about him hosting nine-tails out of sheer pettiness that he didn't get his way and in doing so he hoped Naruto would become so endrenched in hate that he could use that hate to his advantage an groom Naruto to be his weapon and ofc to test wether the sharingan could control Kurama or not.
@@reactiverbossnetwork7619 i understand what you mean, but when i said "perfect" it was in the context of them being the perfect cages for the nine-tails because of their uzumaki lineage an abilities to suppress chakra. i didnt mean perfect in the sense that they gained control over kurama, that honor belongs solely to Naruto alone.
Danzo wanted to protect Konoha, but he effectively created the Akatsuki, and the Pain that destroyed Konoha. He wanted to create a rallying point for hatred for Konoha, so he outed Naruto as the Jinchuriki, but Naruto, because of the hatred, eventually became the most celebrated hero of Konoha. And the most damning bit of irony is, he caused the Uchiha massacre, basically creating the Sasuke who ended up killing him.
Don't forget Kabuto..he tricking nono and Kabuto to killing each other... letting to his further identity Crisis..making him more suspctible being nfluenced by Orochimaru leading to his obsession to obtaining power and become Obito ally during with perfected Edo tensei army
Danzo was always very Machiavellian in his approach. He also seemed to exemplify all the dark aspects of the shinobi world. If you hate him, that means he did his job well.
I agree. Danzo is a character that's written to be hated. Kishi nailed it on writing his character. I remember when Danzo arc was on its peak on the manga, everybody hated his a$$. He's that impactful
I still prefer Nagato as a villain. One of the most terrifying things in the world is a broken idealist. When someone who sees all of the hope and good in the world is beaten down watch out.
I think Danzo has the most realistic sense of "fear" in the series. Its easy for us to sit here watching an anime and know its named Naruto hes not going to lose hes the main character. Think about if you were Danzo and in the Naruto universe. You have god aliens, people with magic eyes rampaging, people with untold magical abilities leading military states with armies of ninja, demons who shoot nuclear bombs, and a best friend who wants to act like none of that is happening is running your entire village. Yeah Danzo is scared as hell of everything and everyone all the time...I cant blame him.
not exactly “realistic fear” cuz not everyone in the real world is paranoid and pessimistic like Danzo, like in the real world people become evil and greedy because of fear but danzo’s actions isn’t an example of a basic human man’s really got a hitler mindset and I wouldn’t say u can’t blame him but u can see where he is coming from.
Kishimoto really made hiruzen into a really stupid character just because he didn't plan the story completely out. Before the second part he was just the kind old man trying to lead the village and took pity on a orphan boy everyone in the village hate it and then comes along the second part and it just turns them into an incompetent leader
Bruh. Hiruzen is a tired old man who lost the fire he had in his in his youth and became soft. That is literally part of his character. Right from his inability to finish off orochimaru, letting danzo run rampant, the constant references to his declining power are all part of who hiruzen is. Him finally finding that fire and resolve to finally finish off his prized student is part of his character arc aswell. Just because a character seems incompetent doesn't mean kishimoto didn't think it through. Both hiruzen and danzo are well thought out characters by the author. . The entire hiruzen - danzo dynamics works because one became too soft while the other became too ruthless to compensate for that.
I agree. I remember crying on the scene of his funeral. He was just that nurturing grandpa to everyone. Now that he's revealed to be scheming behind major turmoils in konoha, I am quiet disappointed. He is that character that's getting worse because of the story progress
I mean Danzo was also one of the only characters in this anime about Ninja that actually acted and felt like a proper Ninja and not a superhero analogy. Until we got to the whole arm full of sharingan and whatnot anyway.
For real he felt like an actual person above all. Someone who started out with potential but became corrupted by jealousy and a desire for power ending up doing far more damage then he ever probably intended
I think he is more like the team that pays the referee and cheats all season and eventually the referee doesn't help anymore and he is destroyed in a fair match
Danzo was low key pretty dangerous. Remember that paralysis curse mark he placed on Sasuke? If he wasn't messing around he could've slit Sasuke's throat immediately and be done with it. The tetragram seal is also a great ace in the hole to make sure you take your killer with you.
@@t-god2439 Like Obito said his hatred grew in power and thus he got stronger which was represented in the evolution of his Susanoo. That's the explanation they gave for why he was able to break free of it.
@@cliffbot638 sooooo why didn’t Neji’ and his father’s hatred for the main branch just will them past their curse seals? 🧐 I guess hyguas can’t go super saiyan
@@t-god2439 two different curse marks bruh. The curse mark on sasuke stop him from moving. The curse mark on the branch hyuga clan literally attack their mind.
I appreciate Danzo as a Wind Style user, he has the most interesting Wind Style techniques in the whole show Kinda a bummer considering that THE MAIN CHARACTER ALSO HAS WIND STYLE
*The afterlife* Tobirama: I am very disappointed in you Donzo! Donzo: L_lord second I can explain I was jus- Tobirama : if you had just told me you were planned on whiping out the Uchiha before I died I would of made you the third hokage.
I mean Tobirama never hated the Uchiha. He judt mistrusted them and I mean that's pretty understandable coming from a guy who had been at war with said Uchiha clan through his entire younger life. Not exactly fair to expect him to just completely kiss and make up. Especially after also seeing what Madara did. But he did still also respect Uchiha and gave them prominent positions in the village and also one of his best friends and advisors was an Uchiha member also.
Everyone's quick to sh*t on tobirama but ignore that he was absolutely right for disliking the uchiha given how madara eventually tried to kill his bestfriend the person that spared his life multiple times, basically created the 1st shinobi war and even after freaking death still came back to create another war, hashirama could have prevented so much death snd suffering if he had just let tobirama make the smart decision of ending madara, hashirama is actually the worst hokage to ever live not only did he give nukes to nations that were power hungry but he also let madara live
Dude this guy is a grinder. Pumping these videos out and with great quality i love it. You’ll be up there with the greats like swakage and Seth the programmer
I hate that Danzo gets no credit for establishing the Shinobi alliance through Mifune and correctly identifying Madara as the real leader of the Akatsuki before anyone else as well as their goal for the Jinchuriki/
He was always one of my favorites. He was willing to commit endless atrocities for what he believed was a better future, and in the end he went out with a bang trying to drag anyone he could with him. Absolute savage with unwavering dedication.
@@hoseasylvester2596 Hitler killed himself like a rat in a bunker while his people died in the surface. At least, Danzo died on the battlefield trying to take the enemy with him and not letting them take Shishui's eye.
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyouit doesn't matter they both still killed and did bad things for what they believed was right. That is not admirable. It's tyrannical and cruel. And evil. Some of the things Danso did didn't end up protecting the leaf. It just made things worst. Like killing the messanger frog. So that leaves you wondering, all the evil shit Danso did, what did it accomplish?
@@hoseasylvester2596 “both killed and did bad things for what they believed was correct “, what you described is 90 percent of all world leaders except Danzo has a far lower kill count. Danzo and hitler are objectively different because one is a complex human being and another one is an anime character who’s thoughts can be directly interpreted. Hitler also had far less evidence and simply went off assumption whereas Danzo had a decent chunk of proof and had a point. Only thing in common is that they are both militaristic and patriotic, that’s literally it. You are being very disingenuous for saying that despite forgetting that Danzo doesn’t know everything in the verse and can’t see the naruto world the same way you do and is a leader in a world full of killers and walking nukes. Hiruzen is literally too nice to lead the village and he did what he had to do to maintain peace. Danzo has never done anything to make things worse in purpose, most of them were more so the faults of obito or zetsu. If Danzo never killed that frog than naruto wouldn’t have mastered sage mode and would have died sooner, heck naruto still loosing just proved danzo’s point. He brought back hashirama cells to the village which helped both naruto and sasuke, improved medicine, and helped rebuild the village effortlessly. He is also the only reason why the shinobi alliance even became a thing.
He's only lightly linked to Nagato. He was only in the Rain at the time to form an alliance between their villages since most wars end up there. The anime had filler that makes him look like he was against the Akatsuki, but in the manga, Hanzo was the one betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there at a bad time. His research with Orochimaru created Hashi Cells, which benefitted the entire world and made Yamato, who was essential to the Leaf's survival. Don't act like the Uchiha massacre wasn't their own fault. Sasuke's Curse of Hatred proved that Danzō was right.
So wrong. He saved many many many people by doing the work and things the average person didn’t have the stomach to do. Even when he was plotting and scheming to get into the hokage office, he was protecting the villages best interests. And he never even murdered his own family and clan.
I think that's the thing. Danzo did everything for the village *and* himself, his only real downfall was his complete lack of trust likely born from his profession. He likely could've convinced the other Kage to unite with him peacefully, but because had immediately used a powerful tool to compel obeisance he was immediately ostracised from his peers and was forced to flee from them. He was a fantastic ninja and used his talents and that of others (whether ethically or literally ripping their eyes out), averting several crisis's that would've rocked the leaf to it's foundation. Several of his tools would eventually be of benefit to the leaf, including his use of the 1sts DNA. His main issue was he wasn't a diplomatic man; and thus could expressively never be trusted to compromise. He was never fit to be Kage for that reason, being a diplomatic leader requires the ability to compromise and smooth over relations, but Danzo was so focused on the means that he lost sight of the smaller picture. Another example of this was when fighting Sasuke, he was constantly thinking about Obito. Basically, he is the Extremist of the Leaf and loves his country as much as his fellows, and undoubtedly was a great man who ensured it's stability without any sign of weaknesses on it's surface by dealing with issues quietly before they destabilised the leaf. Just a man who deals unethically in death, dismemberment and exploitation will inevitably have a terrible but well deserved reputation.
I think what causes all Danzo's failures was that he did all of this alone and in secret. So even if he did something for Konoha, Konoha didn't know it and fight against Danzo didn't realize it. The only succes he achived was to kill all Uchiha members and hi did it with Hiruzen, elders and Itachi.
Danzo was a bad version of Tobirama. They both did the whole darkness within light thing, except Danzo did it badly. Danzo wanted Shisui's eyes because he had a huge ego and a boner for more power. He claims Shisui's eyes were better with him, except that's completely wrong. They were better with Shisui, the original owner. Not only did he kill Shisui (a highly valued asset of the Leaf) he as a result forced Itachi into a box. He thought he was doing everything for the Leaf, except it was for himself.
Problem with this think is ignoring the fact that obito was out there who was willing to take shisui’s eyes as well and if Danzo didn’t take it then obito definitely would have as a result. This is also ignoring the fact that the uchiha rebellion would inevitably happen again because of how the uchiha higher ups felt.
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou itachi would never have allowed shisui to be part of the massacre and would have told obito the same his eyes wouldn't have been open to collection
@@xengen212 if shisui failed then the coup would start immediately, there is no time for itachi to do that and Obito will just be out there collecting sharingan and would have e no problems killing both Itachi and shisui in an environment like that
Well one thing you can't dog Danzo for is the fact that if he wanted something done. It got done. He is definitely extremely intelligent, powerful, and talented being he was able to keep up with Sasuke as well as he did in his age ( tho he had the izanagi )
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou That is true, lucky break I guess. Or maybe Obito waited for Donzo to use it before sicking Sasuke on him. Zetsu was watching the summit. Food for thought.
I mean he didn't keep up with Sasuke though. A Sasuke who had just got done with fighting 4 Kage and wasn't even completely in control of his new eyes yet killed Danzo 10 times in a row.
We really do need a “You know nothing about Kinkaku and Ginkaku” video. Because people really don’t seam to understand how powerful they were. They write them off as “Boarder Line Filler Villains” that nobody believes could ever beat the 2nd Hokage. When the reality is that Kinkaku and Ginkaku along with their squad of 20 S Rank Ninja were comparable to the Akatsuki’s entire organization.
If I remember correctly, Tobirama managed to kill most of them in that final battle. That's equivalent to a character soloing the Akatsuki and winning.
Well yes. However the lore also describes them as a team of 20 S Rank Rouge Shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village. And all 10 members of the Akatsuki were S Rank Rouge Shinobi. I’m not saying that all 20 members of the Gold & Silver Squad were Akatsuki level since all 7 members of the 7 Swordsman of the Mist were S Rank Shinobi and most of them weren’t Akatsuki level. But gathering more S Rank Shinobi than the Akatsuki under the rule of just 2 people is impressive no matter how you lowball it.
There's actually a solid chance that they are members of the Hagoromo Clan. They stated that they're descendants of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki which means they aren't from the Hyūga or Hamura (Moon) clan. That leaves the Kaguya, Hagoromo, Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Fūma clans. They're obviously not from the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans, so that leaves the Hagoromo and Fūma. The Fūma clan live in Konoha, and we don't know what happened to the Hagoromo clan since the Warring Period, making them the only viable choice.
"Minato was unanimously decided to be the 4th Hokage" "The only person who didn't vote for Minato was, you guessed it, Danzo" Not sure you know what unanimously means 😂
He used a but, and -statement. This is like saying “All the children drank water, except Johnny.” It is allowed in the English language as it makes since and is comprehendible
Orochimaru was the one who was skipped over for Minato... Danzo didn't want to be Hokage at that point... He wanted his partner in crime to be in charge..
Danzo to me is a totally misunderstood character. No he isn’t a “good guy” by the typical standards, but he is IMO a representative of over the top patriotism. And as many would say he is the over the top that he feels like the ends absolutely justify the means.
I don't think he was ever truly patriotic. That was just an excuse. For me, Danzo was an incredibly selfish man misguided by his own insecurities. He never was able to move on from the fact that Hiruzen was more willing than him to sacrifice for their master. And that said master aknowledged Hiruzen more. So all his schemes were an attempt to take Tobirama's ideals to the extreme and make it seems like Hashirama's ideals and therefore Hiruzen, were a failure He told others(and probably even told himself) that everything he was doing was to protect and advance the leaf like his mentor did, but in the end, all he was trying to accomplish was to gain power and self assurance
Yeah, I think he would be classified as a radical nationalist, it makes even more sense when you consider that most nationalist are of an older generation
Danzo was a really good villian I do like how they didnt try to justify him. Do you think you could do Obito? We know a good bit but I am sure there is some stuff we are missing. Have a good day/night
Danzo is my favorite character but what caught my attention to him was his arm mystery and later revealing they are sharing and upped his cool factor as a kid for me
I kind of liked Danzo during the Sai arc during which he was militarist and realist but also cared about the village. Sasuke is objectively a danger to Konoha so killing him is a logical choice. However my kind of appreciation of Danzo went down quickly when he killed the messanger toad during the Pain invasion arc. But even when I dislike him now, I really liked how he used the Wind Release during his battle with Sasuke. I mean he empowered kunai and shuriken with it to make them actually very dangerous.
He wasn't wrong to kill the toad. Pain was at Konoha to take Naruto, which would allow him to bring the world to it's knees. Last time anyone saw him, he could barely control Kurama, let alone master senjutsu, plus the delay Danzō gave Naruto gave him the time he needed to master Sage Mode, AND HE STILL LOST. Naruto only survived due to plot. Danzō wasn't wrong for trying to prevent Pain from getting what he wanted. You seem to forget that Danzō doesn't know that Naruto is the protagonist.
Nah, He's the 6th Hokage in my eyes. The order to me is Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade Senju, Danzō Shimura, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Shikamaru Nara. I consider Madara because he and Hashirama made Konoha together and Hashirama wanted him to be Hokage, so I consider him the 0th Hokage, the one that should've been.
One thing I love the most about your videos is the energy you give to it. I love your expressions, the tone of your voice, let’s us know you’re really into it even tho we know you’re tired recording/editing for hours! Keep up the great work!!!
Love the quality in your videos man. Also, as much as I love your facts and info, I’m really looking forward to more of your theory/what if videos. Plus, that gives you more content to make out of the lore.
You: I hate Sasuke Me: Okay yeah, I kinda like him but I can definitely see your reasoning on it. You: I love Danzo Me: Okay you've lost your God damn mind
This is a good take of one of my favorite characters ever. The only thing I would want is that you put into perspective Danzo's situation. Danzo saw two gods die attempting to protect Konoha. Despite Hashirama and Tobirama's combined efforts Konoha was on life support with only generation and its future rested solely on him and his best friends shoulders. When the village finds stability and prosperity Danzo feels it was him that made the difference. Hiruzen is strong but he's not Hashirama strong and even then it wasnt enough. Hiruzen is smart but he's not Tobirama by his own admission. The difference was me Danzo the one able to make the hard choices for Konoha.
That's because the kage power lvs were retconned. Hiruzen in prime originally was the strongest. But during war arc. When maddara was shown. ... It went out the window. In interviews kishi stated he didn't mean to keep madara around. Also due to that had to make hashi stronger than intended.
My boy was the epitome of a ninja, and lived through three world wars and created the Shinobi Alliance for the fourth. Bro was built for war. I wish he lived to fight in the war. He would've been a monster.
Me (31 min & 22 sec ago): How is Danzo one of your favorite characters?! You’re crazy bro. Me (now): …amen. That was an excellent sermon Pastor Hammer. **subscribe**
The end of Naruto still kind of blows mine but yu can’t blame Kishi for having Team 7 we started with end the “main bad guy” I guess but realistically this was the greatest manga story ever told. To have so many intricate parts, diff generations, villages, characters, ideals & to have them all either connect or have a dominoe/ripple effect.
Everything Danzo wanted for the shinobi world ended up happening Konoha is still on top of the alliances in terms of power, which is what he wanted, Shisui's Sharingan massive waste though in the plotline
Not really, shisuis eye helped save the world. Kotoamatsukami broke kabutos control over itachi, and itachi saved narutos life from nagato Edo nd then went and made kabuto undo the Edo tensei
Danzo is basically like how sasuke is to naruto. The guy who makes the hard/harsh decisions. In the end noone is actually bad in the series. Not even Kaguya only her 3rd son.
@@henryriasco5857Was he? He created the Shinobi Alliance, secured Konoha's future, prevented 'Madara' from gaining Kotoamatsukami, and finally sacrificed himself for the village. He won in his book.
So? Many have done worse in Naruto. Also, Shisui's plan was garbage and would've exposed that the Hokage knew of the coup, forcing them to act before the Hokage was prepared. He took his eye because Shisui refused to halt his flawed plan, and Danzō didn't want him using Kotoamatsukami on him or Hiruzen in some misguided revenge.
Rewatching Shippuden again as an adult and finding these breakdowns really makes you appreciate the depth of the show. Danzo is the embodiment of German Existentialist philosophy applied to modern neoliberal hegemonic politics of Konoha like a guy like George Bush Sr etc did imo.
the detail in the show though is quiet interesting, Danzo had the Brackets on his arm, reason for that was that they cant be detected by sensory Ninja and cant be seen by dojutsu but his main Eye could be seen which is why Ao caught it with his byakugan
his personality in politics and behavior is very very realistic but disgusting. he is one of the few real characters and a show full of anime characters like Naruto and the rest of his generation. danzo believe in power only
Mistaking kindness for weakness happens time and time again in history by manipulative forces throughout history..If ur wit the plan that helps everyone or atleast try to things tend to tip in ur favor tho not everything can go smoothly maybe someone u help may give it back in some way...the big moral of the story is" If u lead and act by fear it will always cloud or misguide ur judgement, the road to hell is paves wit good intentions of well educated but closed minded individuals (usually voluntarily close their own mind i.e. , Donzo and so many after him .. the messed up thing about it is these aesthetics are part of our modern world still. I got a feeling a lot of Donzo's are about to be exposed in times to come. This part of history is pretty much the actual first world war just undocumented roughly. I'm into deep dives of missing pieces of history that collaborate wit certain things.. people are starting to figure it out tho. I love it man keep the vids comin man. I'd like to see one about The Mortal Kombat "Smoke" relation to the the smoke ninjas on Naruto...who would be Smoke?
Danzo is the most incompetently competent villain ever. His schemes all work in the short term but his plans for the long run never work and that’s because he doesn’t understand how to manipulate anyone not selfish. Anyone shows any kind of selflessness and he just has no idea what he’s doing.
How do you know Hanzo was desperate for peace? Everyone says that even Madara himself after wiping out thousands of people doesnt make it true. Hanzo is a killer specifically of Konoha shinobi like no other and wanted to rule the village hidden in the rain not "co-rule with the Akatsuki"...I doubt what Hanzo had in mind for the Akatsuki would be to go around handing out sunflowers to each of the village and most likely use their power for "peace" which usually means people dying in this universe. Everyone "desperate for peace" ends up killing more people than ever thought imaginable in this universe.
Danzō being the one to set up the original Akatsuki's fall is filler. In the manga, Hanzo planned on betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there to secure an alliance between their villages since most wars end up in the Rain. The anime really vilified tf out of Danzō. Him trying to kill Hiruzen is also filler.
29:20 from that point on you had my attention even more . Loved the example you gave and i agree with that Yes i love him as a villain too and the *meanings* he passes on with his own weird way . Still hate him though
Ι absolutely love Danzō. I never even cared and skipped the episode Neji died... Shimura Danzō was and always will be an amazing Shinobi. Did everything to protect the village.
Before watching the video I m saying Danzo Wasnt a bad guy He had good intentions He wanted to save the Villiage But his way wasn't right 🤔 right ? Lete see
"He wanted to save the Village" lmao. You don't know what you're talking about. Watch again ep 160, Pain is attacking Konoha and Danzo didn't lend any help to save the village. This video is actually bias NCHammer didn't mention it.
@@wavy3158Obito never and can’t awaken the rinnegan because u have to be an Indra reincarnate to awaken it, Obito only took the rinnegan from Nagato’s corpse but he can’t awaken it like Madara and Sasuke because he’s not an Indra reincarnate still.
Well, as much as I hated Danzo, his english voice actor was so good at his last moments that I felt bad for Danzo. Him comparing himself to Hiruzen and all that. A small redemption, perhaps?
@@Viroh I can see the parallels between them but Danzo is different. Kishi dumped lots of the stories problems onto his blame. Danzo didn't have much of a personality that people could admire and relate to as far as those kind of fans go. Vegeta switched sides and became a hesitant hero and put in some miles as far as fighting for "the good guys" goes. Danzo kinda kept doing the same thing he was doing while being the attitude that messed over so many of the characters. Danzo is actually one of my favorite characters in Naruto because he felt like an actual real human that would be alive in that environment. I'm actually kinds glad that he didn't get talked into being a "good guy".
@@Trollamollex I hated his character but liked his final actions, when he tried to seal away Obito and Sasuke. I wish he could have sealed at least one of them.

I think Danzo has the most realistic sense of "fear" in the series. Its easy for us to sit here watching an anime and know its named Naruto hes not going to lose hes the main character. Think about if you were Danzo and in the Naruto universe. You have god aliens, people with magic eyes rampaging, people with untold magical abilities leading military states with armies of ninja, demons who shoot nuclear bombs, and a best friend who wants to act like none of that is happening is running your entire village. Yeah Danzo is scared as hell of everything and everyone all the time...I cant blame him.
Damn that got deep. Good work buddy 👏
Danzo reminds me of the mentality of becoming the monster you swore to fight.
This why I use him in Storm 4!
not exactly “realistic fear” cuz not everyone in the real world is paranoid and pessimistic like Danzo, like in the real world people become evil and greedy because of fear but danzo’s actions isn’t an example of a basic human man’s really got a hitler mindset and I wouldn’t say u can’t blame him but u can see where he is coming from.

It’s the radical left who is pessimistic and paranoid.
Kishimoto really made hiruzen into a really stupid character just because he didn't plan the story completely out. Before the second part he was just the kind old man trying to lead the village and took pity on a orphan boy everyone in the village hate it and then comes along the second part and it just turns them into an incompetent leader
Bruh. Hiruzen is a tired old man who lost the fire he had in his in his youth and became soft. That is literally part of his character. Right from his inability to finish off orochimaru, letting danzo run rampant, the constant references to his declining power are all part of who hiruzen is. Him finally finding that fire and resolve to finally finish off his prized student is part of his character arc aswell.
Just because a character seems incompetent doesn't mean kishimoto didn't think it through. Both hiruzen and danzo are well thought out characters by the author.
.
The entire hiruzen - danzo dynamics works because one became too soft while the other became too ruthless to compensate for that.
I agree. I remember crying on the scene of his funeral. He was just that nurturing grandpa to everyone. Now that he's revealed to be scheming behind major turmoils in konoha, I am quiet disappointed.
He is that character that's getting worse because of the story progress
I mean Danzo was also one of the only characters in this anime about Ninja that actually acted and felt like a proper Ninja and not a superhero analogy. Until we got to the whole arm full of sharingan and whatnot anyway.
For real he felt like an actual person above all. Someone who started out with potential but became corrupted by jealousy and a desire for power ending up doing far more damage then he ever probably intended
Even the Izanagi arm was played well tbh. He kept it hidden until it needed to be used, as a ninja weapon would be.
Absolutely agreed
The arm was pretty cool though.
That is the point.
The way of the Ninja is flawed. Danzo representing it so perfectly, turns him into this failure of man.
Danzō is literally like the team who goes undefeated the whole season and then loses the championship game
So he the 07 Patriots lol
@@OchoCinco420the dubs
More like got taken out the game while the team still won the championship since Konoha survived and became safe and even more prosperous.
Who also cheated their way to final
I think he is more like the team that pays the referee and cheats all season and eventually the referee doesn't help anymore and he is destroyed in a fair match
danzo is such a well written character
“the road to hell is paved in good intentions”
He never had good intentions. He had good excuses.
Danzo was low key pretty dangerous. Remember that paralysis curse mark he placed on Sasuke? If he wasn't messing around he could've slit Sasuke's throat immediately and be done with it. The tetragram seal is also a great ace in the hole to make sure you take your killer with you.
Oh you mean when sasuke went super saiyan 2 and just burst out of it for………………..reasons(plot armor)
@@t-god2439 Like Obito said his hatred grew in power and thus he got stronger which was represented in the evolution of his Susanoo. That's the explanation they gave for why he was able to break free of it.

Kinda a bummer considering that THE MAIN CHARACTER ALSO HAS WIND STYLE
*The afterlife*
Tobirama: I am very disappointed in you Donzo!
Donzo: L_lord second I can explain I was jus-
Tobirama : if you had just told me you were planned on whiping out the Uchiha before I died I would of made you the third hokage.
Thats actually funny 🤣
Wow!! Tobirama said that?? 😂 (The Afterlife)
danzo and Hiruzen are 2 sides of tobirama to the extreme
I mean Tobirama never hated the Uchiha. He judt mistrusted them and I mean that's pretty understandable coming from a guy who had been at war with said Uchiha clan through his entire younger life. Not exactly fair to expect him to just completely kiss and make up. Especially after also seeing what Madara did. But he did still also respect Uchiha and gave them prominent positions in the village and also one of his best friends and advisors was an Uchiha member also.
Everyone's quick to sh*t on tobirama but ignore that he was absolutely right for disliking the uchiha given how madara eventually tried to kill his bestfriend the person that spared his life multiple times, basically created the 1st shinobi war and even after freaking death still came back to create another war, hashirama could have prevented so much death snd suffering if he had just let tobirama make the smart decision of ending madara, hashirama is actually the worst hokage to ever live not only did he give nukes to nations that were power hungry but he also let madara live

💯he goes really in depth
Hammer does great but i feel like Naruto contentwise Swag and Seth are Itachi Obito lvl and Hammer is Sasori lvl.
Bruh these vids are better than Swag and Seth in my opinion.
Danzo, to me, feels like the representative of real life war criminals and the dirtiest politicians who literally have gotten away with their crimes.
Exactly. Therefore it is almost impossible for a human to be more evil than that.
I hate that Danzo gets no credit for establishing the Shinobi alliance through Mifune and correctly identifying Madara as the real leader of the Akatsuki before anyone else as well as their goal for the Jinchuriki/
Just like how Kanye hates that Hitler gets no credit for highways💀💀
He didn't correctly identify anyone. He had met Tobi before and he got info from Sai that heard about Madara from Naruto
Honestly, Danzo shouldve been close to, if not the final villain in Naruto. He has all the qualities for that role.
Hate him or love him, Danzo has always been a certified baller
"You Know Nothing About Danzo Shimura"
Well, isn't that what he wants? ;D
He was always one of my favorites. He was willing to commit endless atrocities for what he believed was a better future, and in the end he went out with a bang trying to drag anyone he could with him. Absolute savage with unwavering dedication.
Do you like Hitler?
@@hoseasylvester2596 Hitler killed himself like a rat in a bunker while his people died in the surface. At least, Danzo died on the battlefield trying to take the enemy with him and not letting them take Shishui's eye.
@@hoseasylvester2596 comparing an anime character to a real life dictator who killed far more for less reasons, not s good comparison.
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyouit doesn't matter they both still killed and did bad things for what they believed was right. That is not admirable. It's tyrannical and cruel. And evil. Some of the things Danso did didn't end up protecting the leaf. It just made things worst. Like killing the messanger frog. So that leaves you wondering, all the evil shit Danso did, what did it accomplish?
@@hoseasylvester2596 “both killed and did bad things for what they believed was correct “, what you described is 90 percent of all world leaders except Danzo has a far lower kill count. Danzo and hitler are objectively different because one is a complex human being and another one is an anime character who’s thoughts can be directly interpreted. Hitler also had far less evidence and simply went off assumption whereas Danzo had a decent chunk of proof and had a point.
Only thing in common is that they are both militaristic and patriotic, that’s literally it. You are being very disingenuous for saying that despite forgetting that Danzo doesn’t know everything in the verse and can’t see the naruto world the same way you do and is a leader in a world full of killers and walking nukes. Hiruzen is literally too nice to lead the village and he did what he had to do to maintain peace. Danzo has never done anything to make things worse in purpose, most of them were more so the faults of obito or zetsu. If Danzo never killed that frog than naruto wouldn’t have mastered sage mode and would have died sooner, heck naruto still loosing just proved danzo’s point. He brought back hashirama cells to the village which helped both naruto and sasuke, improved medicine, and helped rebuild the village effortlessly. He is also the only reason why the shinobi alliance even became a thing.
Danzo thought to himself at the end of his life:
"Why cant everyone be like the Aburame clan?"
I’m almost positive every single major villain in Naruto’s timeline can be directly linked to Danzo. He’s everyones villain origin story 😭
Not Obito and Madara though
Kabuto,Nagato, Enable Orochimaru, Sasuke...
He's only lightly linked to Nagato. He was only in the Rain at the time to form an alliance between their villages since most wars end up there. The anime had filler that makes him look like he was against the Akatsuki, but in the manga, Hanzo was the one betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there at a bad time. His research with Orochimaru created Hashi Cells, which benefitted the entire world and made Yamato, who was essential to the Leaf's survival. Don't act like the Uchiha massacre wasn't their own fault. Sasuke's Curse of Hatred proved that Danzō was right.
Danzo is one of the most well written characters in Anime history.
He did everything for himself and thought he was doing it for the village.
So wrong. He saved many many many people by doing the work and things the average person didn’t have the stomach to do. Even when he was plotting and scheming to get into the hokage office, he was protecting the villages best interests. And he never even murdered his own family and clan.
@@moobutt That doesn't disprove what they said as you can save people but still only care about yourself.
It was never about himself. He always focused on Konoha above all else, even it's people, even when he was doing Hiruzen's job.
im glad you're willing to aknowledge he truly believe he was a hero. hes still a villain lol but in his heart he felt like it was right
I think that's the thing. Danzo did everything for the village *and* himself, his only real downfall was his complete lack of trust likely born from his profession. He likely could've convinced the other Kage to unite with him peacefully, but because had immediately used a powerful tool to compel obeisance he was immediately ostracised from his peers and was forced to flee from them. He was a fantastic ninja and used his talents and that of others (whether ethically or literally ripping their eyes out), averting several crisis's that would've rocked the leaf to it's foundation. Several of his tools would eventually be of benefit to the leaf, including his use of the 1sts DNA. His main issue was he wasn't a diplomatic man; and thus could expressively never be trusted to compromise. He was never fit to be Kage for that reason, being a diplomatic leader requires the ability to compromise and smooth over relations, but Danzo was so focused on the means that he lost sight of the smaller picture. Another example of this was when fighting Sasuke, he was constantly thinking about Obito.
Basically, he is the Extremist of the Leaf and loves his country as much as his fellows, and undoubtedly was a great man who ensured it's stability without any sign of weaknesses on it's surface by dealing with issues quietly before they destabilised the leaf. Just a man who deals unethically in death, dismemberment and exploitation will inevitably have a terrible but well deserved reputation.
I think what causes all Danzo's failures was that he did all of this alone and in secret. So even if he did something for Konoha, Konoha didn't know it and fight against Danzo didn't realize it. The only succes he achived was to kill all Uchiha members and hi did it with Hiruzen, elders and Itachi.
Hiruzen and the elders weren't involved.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336no they were
Danzo was a bad version of Tobirama. They both did the whole darkness within light thing, except Danzo did it badly. Danzo wanted Shisui's eyes because he had a huge ego and a boner for more power. He claims Shisui's eyes were better with him, except that's completely wrong. They were better with Shisui, the original owner. Not only did he kill Shisui (a highly valued asset of the Leaf) he as a result forced Itachi into a box. He thought he was doing everything for the Leaf, except it was for himself.
Problem with this think is ignoring the fact that obito was out there who was willing to take shisui’s eyes as well and if Danzo didn’t take it then obito definitely would have as a result. This is also ignoring the fact that the uchiha rebellion would inevitably happen again because of how the uchiha higher ups felt.
He meant as in he could use them in ways shisui would never think of doing like against the 5 kage etc shisui in danzos mind thought small
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou itachi would never have allowed shisui to be part of the massacre and would have told obito the same his eyes wouldn't have been open to collection

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou That is true, lucky break I guess. Or maybe Obito waited for Donzo to use it before sicking Sasuke on him. Zetsu was watching the summit. Food for thought.
I mean he didn't keep up with Sasuke though. A Sasuke who had just got done with fighting 4 Kage and wasn't even completely in control of his new eyes yet killed Danzo 10 times in a row.
We really do need a “You know nothing about Kinkaku and Ginkaku” video. Because people really don’t seam to understand how powerful they were. They write them off as “Boarder Line Filler Villains” that nobody believes could ever beat the 2nd Hokage. When the reality is that Kinkaku and Ginkaku along with their squad of 20 S Rank Ninja were comparable to the Akatsuki’s entire organization.
If I remember correctly, Tobirama managed to kill most of them in that final battle. That's equivalent to a character soloing the Akatsuki and winning.
Well yes. However the lore also describes them as a team of 20 S Rank Rouge Shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village. And all 10 members of the Akatsuki were S Rank Rouge Shinobi. I’m not saying that all 20 members of the Gold & Silver Squad were Akatsuki level since all 7 members of the 7 Swordsman of the Mist were S Rank Shinobi and most of them weren’t Akatsuki level. But gathering more S Rank Shinobi than the Akatsuki under the rule of just 2 people is impressive no matter how you lowball it.
There's actually a solid chance that they are members of the Hagoromo Clan. They stated that they're descendants of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki which means they aren't from the Hyūga or Hamura (Moon) clan. That leaves the Kaguya, Hagoromo, Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Fūma clans. They're obviously not from the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans, so that leaves the Hagoromo and Fūma. The Fūma clan live in Konoha, and we don't know what happened to the Hagoromo clan since the Warring Period, making them the only viable choice.
I've been asking for years of the gold and silver brother video
What if kinkaku and ginkakuare unsealed can naurot kill them and revive kurama?
It's funny to think that what Itachi was to Hiruzen was kinda what Orochimaru was to Danzo
"Minato was unanimously decided to be the 4th Hokage"
"The only person who didn't vote for Minato was, you guessed it, Danzo"
Not sure you know what unanimously means 😂
Wasn't faguku uchiha wanted to be the hokage❗❓✌ I not saying that he sould . I'm just saying he wanted to❗ 👍🌟
He used a but, and -statement. This is like saying “All the children drank water, except Johnny.” It is allowed in the English language as it makes since and is comprehendible
Orochimaru was the one who was skipped over for Minato... Danzo didn't want to be Hokage at that point... He wanted his partner in crime to be in charge..
@@RellyYu Do you even know what "all" means 😂🤣
@@captainzork6109 do you know what “except” means 🤡
Danzo to me is a totally misunderstood character. No he isn’t a “good guy” by the typical standards, but he is IMO a representative of over the top patriotism. And as many would say he is the over the top that he feels like the ends absolutely justify the means.
Oh of course, he is the guy who falls asleep wrapped in the flag
Youre referring to nationalism
Patriotism is defined by being explicitly not nationalist
Patriotism rides the ideals
Nationalism rides on the symbols
I don't think he was ever truly patriotic. That was just an excuse. For me, Danzo was an incredibly selfish man misguided by his own insecurities. He never was able to move on from the fact that Hiruzen was more willing than him to sacrifice for their master. And that said master aknowledged Hiruzen more. So all his schemes were an attempt to take Tobirama's ideals to the extreme and make it seems like Hashirama's ideals and therefore Hiruzen, were a failure
He told others(and probably even told himself) that everything he was doing was to protect and advance the leaf like his mentor did, but in the end, all he was trying to accomplish was to gain power and self assurance
Yeah, I think he would be classified as a radical nationalist, it makes even more sense when you consider that most nationalist are of an older generation
The word all of you are looking for is jingoist.
I love Danzo... He was a great villain. Everything he did had a purpose and meaning. There was no mustache twisting with Danzo...
He’s actually my favorite villain in Naruto! Love his storyline/motivation.
Totally agree!

Crazy as it seems Danzo is the closest thing to a real life Machiavellian leader on this series.

danzo is actually like the best written villain.he's not converting and he makes sense as is .
He's actually justified in most of his crimes smh.
Danzo sounds like the guy who does the wrong thing for the right reason.
That's exactly who he is. His goal was the safety and prosperity of Konoha, but didn't care how he got it.
Danzo be the definition of an Shinobi.
Danzo is my favorite character but what caught my attention to him was his arm mystery and later revealing they are sharing and upped his cool factor as a kid for me
Then the mf whipped out Baku, wood style, Uzumaki fūinjutsu, and the best wind style I've seen in Naruto to date. He was gangster.
DANZO and the root sound like the CIA
The CIA act more like real life historical ninja than most Shinobi in Naruto. Danzō is the closest thing.
I kind of liked Danzo during the Sai arc during which he was militarist and realist but also cared about the village. Sasuke is objectively a danger to Konoha so killing him is a logical choice. However my kind of appreciation of Danzo went down quickly when he killed the messanger toad during the Pain invasion arc.
But even when I dislike him now, I really liked how he used the Wind Release during his battle with Sasuke. I mean he empowered kunai and shuriken with it to make them actually very dangerous.
He wasn't wrong to kill the toad. Pain was at Konoha to take Naruto, which would allow him to bring the world to it's knees. Last time anyone saw him, he could barely control Kurama, let alone master senjutsu, plus the delay Danzō gave Naruto gave him the time he needed to master Sage Mode, AND HE STILL LOST. Naruto only survived due to plot. Danzō wasn't wrong for trying to prevent Pain from getting what he wanted. You seem to forget that Danzō doesn't know that Naruto is the protagonist.
@@wulaeofthetengu8336 Pain would have captured Naruto too if it weren't for Minato who was dead, lol
"but he didn't tell Hiruzen" How Danzo did everything he did
Danzo is a shadow HOKAGE 👨💻
Nah, He's the 6th Hokage in my eyes. The order to me is Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade Senju, Danzō Shimura, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Shikamaru Nara. I consider Madara because he and Hashirama made Konoha together and Hashirama wanted him to be Hokage, so I consider him the 0th Hokage, the one that should've been.

On point.
my thoughts exactly
I love to hate Donzo, so where does that put me?😂
I love Danzo and like some versions of sasuke
I felt that Danzo was only Ninja like character in the show stealthy, filthy, greedy etc.
Bro became a philosopher using Danzo as a metaphor. What a legend.
This is a good take of one of my favorite characters ever. The only thing I would want is that you put into perspective Danzo's situation. Danzo saw two gods die attempting to protect Konoha. Despite Hashirama and Tobirama's combined efforts Konoha was on life support with only generation and its future rested solely on him and his best friends shoulders. When the village finds stability and prosperity Danzo feels it was him that made the difference. Hiruzen is strong but he's not Hashirama strong and even then it wasnt enough. Hiruzen is smart but he's not Tobirama by his own admission. The difference was me Danzo the one able to make the hard choices for Konoha.
Many say that Hiruzen actually was the strongest hokage ever in history (before Naruto obviously aha) so being Hashirama strong isn't actually true.
That's because the kage power lvs were retconned.
Hiruzen in prime originally was the strongest. But during war arc. When maddara was shown. ...
It went out the window.
In interviews kishi stated he didn't mean to keep madara around. Also due to that had to make hashi stronger than intended.

The end of Naruto still kind of blows mine but yu can’t blame Kishi for having Team 7 we started with end the “main bad guy” I guess but realistically this was the greatest manga story ever told. To have so many intricate parts, diff generations, villages, characters, ideals & to have them all either connect or have a dominoe/ripple effect.
Everything Danzo wanted for the shinobi world ended up happening Konoha is still on top of the alliances in terms of power, which is what he wanted, Shisui's Sharingan massive waste though in the plotline
Not really, shisuis eye helped save the world. Kotoamatsukami broke kabutos control over itachi, and itachi saved narutos life from nagato Edo nd then went and made kabuto undo the Edo tensei
Danzo is basically like how sasuke is to naruto. The guy who makes the hard/harsh decisions. In the end noone is actually bad in the series. Not even Kaguya only her 3rd son.
Always enjoy watching this guy. Love the passion and his quirky way of emphasizing something. Great Job man.
Danzo, kage of getting shit done. But on a serious note, if he was a kage during the waring states period we’d look at him in a different light
There were no kage during the warring states period

@@henryriasco5857Was he? He created the Shinobi Alliance, secured Konoha's future, prevented 'Madara' from gaining Kotoamatsukami, and finally sacrificed himself for the village. He won in his book.

@@locy7931 What darkness lol. Almost all Naruto villains are like that because of a trauma in their lifes. Doesn't make them better people than Danzo.
So? Many have done worse in Naruto. Also, Shisui's plan was garbage and would've exposed that the Hokage knew of the coup, forcing them to act before the Hokage was prepared. He took his eye because Shisui refused to halt his flawed plan, and Danzō didn't want him using Kotoamatsukami on him or Hiruzen in some misguided revenge.
The day NC Hammer makes a 45min "You've know nothing about the Demon Brothers" video is the day he becomes the Kage of all naruto.
Rewatching Shippuden again as an adult and finding these breakdowns really makes you appreciate the depth of the show. Danzo is the embodiment of German Existentialist philosophy applied to modern neoliberal hegemonic politics of Konoha like a guy like George Bush Sr etc did imo.
How does he find his ideas dose he just have an exile sheet out of all the character and is like “ok today I going to do tobirama”

There's so many ppl I know nothing about😂😂frfr this guy goes crazy on the grind I gotta respect that keep it up my g🙌🏾
Being evil and wrong doesn't mean you cant learn a lesson from a character that makes him one of mu fav in naruto
danzo was never the same again after seeing hashiramas big wood
the detail in the show though is quiet interesting, Danzo had the Brackets on his arm, reason for that was that they cant be detected by sensory Ninja and cant be seen by dojutsu but his main Eye could be seen which is why Ao caught it with his byakugan
In the anime, Danzo was shown to have Root members transform into Iwa-nin and frame Iwa, basically starting the 3rd shinobi war.
To many people hate Danzo but I've always liked the character.
Same. He's honestly the most overhated character in anime I think. He's a complex character that was written beautifully.
Danzo and his Root are the CIA of Naruto
Danzo is one of the real Shinobi in naruto! . ruthless but his intentions are for the sake of fire village!
his personality in politics and behavior is very very realistic but disgusting. he is one of the few real characters and a show full of anime characters like Naruto and the rest of his generation. danzo believe in power only
At the expense of a lot of things
The CIA learned from Danzo's handbook of black ops that spectacularly backfire years down the line.

Danzo is the most incompetently competent villain ever. His schemes all work in the short term but his plans for the long run never work and that’s because he doesn’t understand how to manipulate anyone not selfish. Anyone shows any kind of selflessness and he just has no idea what he’s doing.
Found you yesterday and have already watched several hours of your videos. Thanks, homie 🙏
How do you know Hanzo was desperate for peace? Everyone says that even Madara himself after wiping out thousands of people doesnt make it true. Hanzo is a killer specifically of Konoha shinobi like no other and wanted to rule the village hidden in the rain not "co-rule with the Akatsuki"...I doubt what Hanzo had in mind for the Akatsuki would be to go around handing out sunflowers to each of the village and most likely use their power for "peace" which usually means people dying in this universe. Everyone "desperate for peace" ends up killing more people than ever thought imaginable in this universe.
Danzō being the one to set up the original Akatsuki's fall is filler. In the manga, Hanzo planned on betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there to secure an alliance between their villages since most wars end up in the Rain. The anime really vilified tf out of Danzō. Him trying to kill Hiruzen is also filler.
When you mentioned the Second throwing himself to be the decoy it hit differently and even more real than ever w the background track going on 🌊🙏🌊
Danzo def underrated. He was my favorite to use in ninja storm because of his wind scythe
Nothing like having your religion insulted in the middle of a naruto video
Let's be honest, without Danzo Naruto won't be as interesting as a series 🤷♂️
Without Danzo konaha wouldn't have been on top. He kept Konaha very strong
When you said “ Michael Jackson’s father” I fuckin cried I laughed so hard 😂
The last part is definitely a quote that should be immortalized
I find it kinda funny that Danzo is unintentionally Black Zetsu's greatest helper in most of his endeavors.
The ROOT is an underground Akatsuki organization.

from that point on you had my attention even more . Loved the example you gave and i agree with that
Yes i love him as a villain too and the *meanings* he passes on with his own weird way . Still hate him though
Frieza is evil, Danzo just does bad things to protect his village
Ι absolutely love Danzō. I never even cared and skipped the episode Neji died... Shimura Danzō was and always will be an amazing Shinobi. Did everything to protect the village.
Skipped the episode smh
Before watching the video
I m saying
Danzo Wasnt a bad guy
He had good intentions
He wanted to save the Villiage
But his way wasn't right 🤔 right ? Lete see
Lete

"He wanted to save the Village" lmao. You don't know what you're talking about. Watch again ep 160, Pain is attacking Konoha and Danzo didn't lend any help to save the village. This video is actually bias NCHammer didn't mention it.
@@leonel7597 he did that so he could become hokage and rebuild the village, and he wanted naruto far from the Akatsuki which is also fair
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou But he let the people die and let the village destroyed, it's a simple logic he didn't save Konoha.
Throwing stones at orphans is the less damaging and traumatic thing that Danzo and Orochimaru could do to Kabuto and other orphans.
"The most evil man in anime history" Also known as the only Ninja that actually behaves like he should in the whole series
This is the best speech ever. Learn from Danzo. Omo NCHammer you're good. Keep it up! This is officially one of my favorite videos from you.
If Danzo lived long enough couldn’t he have awakened the Rinnegan
No actually he couldn’t, reason being is that he’d to be an Indra reincarnate to awaken it still.
Oh ok
@@gcitydev not really since obito wasn’t a reincarnated indra or ashura
@@wavy3158Obito never and can’t awaken the rinnegan because u have to be an Indra reincarnate to awaken it, Obito only took the rinnegan from Nagato’s corpse but he can’t awaken it like Madara and Sasuke because he’s not an Indra reincarnate still.
Bro that itachi scene was so cold though. He strait up said "I see EVERYTHING, and I will be watching." So cold.
Well, as much as I hated Danzo, his english voice actor was so good at his last moments that I felt bad for Danzo. Him comparing himself to Hiruzen and all that. A small redemption, perhaps?
Not redemption just a perspective of Danzo rather than just have him be purely cartoon evil.
@@Trollamollex How is his end different from Vegeta's atonement? And people love Vegeta for his suicide.
@@Viroh I can see the parallels between them but Danzo is different. Kishi dumped lots of the stories problems onto his blame. Danzo didn't have much of a personality that people could admire and relate to as far as those kind of fans go. Vegeta switched sides and became a hesitant hero and put in some miles as far as fighting for "the good guys" goes. Danzo kinda kept doing the same thing he was doing while being the attitude that messed over so many of the characters.
Danzo is actually one of my favorite characters in Naruto because he felt like an actual real human that would be alive in that environment. I'm actually kinds glad that he didn't get talked into being a "good guy".
@@Trollamollex I hated his character but liked his final actions, when he tried to seal away Obito and Sasuke. I wish he could have sealed at least one of them.
After watching analysis videos on his character I have started to like his character, because he is well-written in how annoying he can be.
@@Trollamollex noob roasted
That michael jackson's father bit caught me off guard and was worth a decent giggle. You a funny man.
Danzo is underrated he did everything for konoha and did the hardest choices he isnt that evil.
Hitler did everything for Germany. He was evil. Wanting to do good doesn't automatically name you so.
Amazing video! The way you described not every success is a moral victory at the end was brilliant
