@@HotBoySpicy the problem is system of ninja it is hell hashirama way of thinking that anything you do like killing innocent or stealing or making children in to killing tools is justified because it's for the sake of valige is wrong and carzy
Sorry but I have to disagree with sasuke was right with revolution naruto was wrong it just seems that show made sasuke wrong because of plot naruto is hero soo the made him look right
@@dytgyfgyffuh243 So, Sasuke was wrong because of "plot" and not the several explicit reasons I brought up that makes him obviously invalid. Nice. Epic takeaway, my friend!
Sasuke never saw the end of Haku and Kabuza, and thus never learning about the faults of the current shinobi system. Sasuke never witnessed the Gaara vs Rock Lee fight, ans because of this he never learned there to never let his ambitions consume him. Naruto and Sakura were there to witness and learn those two lessons.
@@bluestar5812 WHAT DID NARUTO AND SAKURA ACHIEVE BY LEARNING THIS AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE STILL SEND CHILDREN TO THEIR DEATH A CHILD AT THE AGE OF 13 DOES NOT HAVE THE MATURITY TO TAKE THEIR OWN DECISION.
and what is truly fascinating is that the reason he could not witness Haku’s sacrifice and Zabuza’s redemption was that he had done those very things himself to protect Naruto. The video formulates it better, but it feels like Sasuke pushed Naruto into the light, and that led him to falling in the shadow Through that was created an unbreakable bond between light and shadow
@@lisaan6322thats so true. That's why I hate team 7 a lot. they never understood sasuke AT all. I wished him staying with taka, people whom he chosed and sometime maybe even see them as a family because everyone of taka lost their families like sasuke did but they dealt differently with that. There is even that panel where suigetsu comes to sasuke when sasuke questing who he is and then jugo and suigetsu enters. It means he us Uchiha sasuke from Team Taka and suigetsu had that roll and said " we takkes will rule over the shinobies". It's such an important phrase. they were loyal to him and definitely they would have done something (I hate the ending tbh so to me this isn't even a redemption arc for sasuke cuz he never cared)
Very! Especially Naruto SEEING Zabuza’s death is what put him on his path. Really highlights how much Sasuke and Naruto are parallels of each other. What would have happened if Naruto was knocked out and Sasuke fought Haku instead?
The show was called Naruto but we all know it was all about Sasuke,he has always been pure class,,only a simple mind can hate a character this great,this deep
Honestly having Sasuke be the somewhat second protagonist throughout Shippuden was a great move by Kishimoto, it allowed us to see him change his worldview & the parallels (and opposites) with Naruto, which all built up to their reunion(s) and eventual confrontation without it feeling like he was the final boss just because
What a masterpiece of explanation. Enlightening, informative, simple yet poetic. The meaning of Hokage varies between the Protagonist and Deuteragonist, in how they saw Itachi lived his life. Fire SHADOW = Sasuke FIRE Shadow = Naruto
thanks for bringing this up. Kaguya was simply the buildup for naruto vs sasuke, because through her, we were introduced to Ashura and Indra, and it made Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry and fight more than just an emotional one, but one of destiny, and one of a generational cycle of hatred.
Sasuke is the best written character in Naruto, and one of the best in all manga/anime in my opinion. He's the most human when compared to characters like Naruto, Kakashi, Rock Lee, etc. He's been through so much, that he no longer feels hope, nor hapiness. He only feels anger and pain, so he acts like most of us would, he lets his emotions control him. People love to praise Naruto, Kakashi, Lee, Itachi, Hashirama, etc. But the truth is that we would probably act like Sasuke, Madara or Nagato if we went through half the sh1t that happened in these guys' lifes.
These types of videos always give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Knowing that not all of the Naruto fandom are dismissive, hateful, low IQ people that just shits on Sasuke.
They’re outfits says it all. Naruto with orange and black like a campfire creating light in darkness like Naruto’s Will of fire and Sasuke with grey and black representing the moon in the night and him being the silhouette in front of the moon like Itachi, Itachi being his biggest inspiration of what a shinobi is. This video is amazing.
I love the fact that Shippuden ended with Sasuke's words of wisdom and acceptance during the conversation with Naruto. (" I didn't think that you'd be coming to see me off. You sacrificed your arm to stop me. Thanks to you I found salvation. We were insignificant little things that used to clash. And now we're able to share each other's pain. And after journeying along and seeing the world, I've realized something. This isn't just about you and me, I belive this concept can be applied to even bigger things than just us. It's kind of like a prayer, to keep enduring until it comes to be no matter what. And to those upon whom that task falls, perhaps that's what it means to be a Ninja." - Sasuke) ☯️
This is why I love Sasuke and find him one of the best characters in Naruto. When presented with new information he doesn't stubbornly cling to an outlook like many flanderize his character as doing. In Part 1 he is genuinely conflicted between following the path of revenge or the path of camaraderie. His singular purpose of vengeance against his brother gives way to essentially an existential crisis as everything he believed about Itachi and the leaf village were lies thus necessitating a complete abandonment of some pretty fundamental foundations of Sasuke's beliefs. By the end of the series Sasuke's horizons broaden from I have to end Itachi to I have to destroy the village that forced my brother's hand to I have to reform the entire shinobi system as we know it by becoming the ultimate villain of the world. His character evolution is utterly fascinating and as always you do a top job of showing that in this vid.
yeah, it's really stupid how people say sasuke is inconsistent when referring to his change in outlook when said information constantly shakes the very fundamentals of his goals (the uchiha clan massacre) lol for example five kage summit sasuke after he realizes itachi only killed the uchiha because obito made it sound like the leaf forced him to, or when this changes because itachi reveals he did it because he loved the leaf village, so on and so forth
@@randomt800kiddo2 Yeah it makes me laugh when people call Sasuke inconsistent. Like big shocker people change over time when presented with new information.
@@benwelsh5265 exactly bruh, it just gives shonen fans such a shitty rep when majority of the community is too stupid to understand such simple concepts lol, like how naruto and sasuke being reincarnations of indra and asura "breaks the theme" when it strengthens it further since naruto is literally fated to fail in his quest to redeem sasuke, but even then he overcomes that
Yeah to bad people tend to hate the guy,but yet they fail to understand that if you were in his position what would you have done.Because if anything Sasukes character is based of off change through bonds he has.
I’m sorry but this is a bad take. His arcs were horrible and messy and his appearance as a villain kinda comes out of nowhere regardless of thematically sense
Great video. It’s a shame that Sasuke’s character was boiled down to “emo” for the longest time. Someone once said he was like a Seinen character stuck in a Shounen world. The truth is he added so much to the complexity and richness to the world of Naruto that even after so long, I keep coming back to it despite “growing out of the target demographic”.
This is how I feel about Sasuke. Sasuke is the amalgamation of all the problems of the shinobi system and in the end decides to help fix it. He is a great character. I love your videos this is a great analysis and breakdown. Also god I have a trilogy of videos to comeback to and watch
Omg, this is beautiful and needs way more views. Just seeing this also reminded me of people crapping on Sasuke being a bad imitation of Kurapika on Twitter and just seeing and hearing this here reminds me of how interwoven the story of naruto and sasuke is. I’m so glad stuck around to see it to the end! And well, it makes me wanna watch over the naruto series again ahhh.
Kurapika story isn't complex and amazing like of Sasuke.. only their origin is same and that's it.. What Kurapika did in his life. Sasuke already did that as a child and left it and moved on..
In the anime, Naruto and Sasuke’s colors in their final bout are yellow and purple respectively. Colors that are compliments to each other, but are on opposite sides.
“Detachment is a vapid form of enlightenment. It’s a shortcut that doesn’t require its pursuers to walk alongside the world’s struggles.” This may have genuinely changed my life.
Words cannot express just how great this video is or how much incredible effort went into making it. Truly great things in life take time. This one was more than well worth your investment in time and turmoil. You have.exceeded all expectations. I pray that this world finally rewards you for the artist you have become. Excellent work!
Genuinely one of if not the best Naruto deep dissection and examination I have ever watched, the way you managed to frame everything throgh the Ideologies that construct the story of the entire show to further explain what was truly going on is remarkable.
It’s crazy because I just thought within the past week how could Sasuke not have learned more from the end moments (when Kakashi stated ‘look how things end for a rogue’) of the Zabuza arc glad this reminded me he actually never witnessed the darkness in this arcs villains experiencing their change in heart. Kakashi never made Sasuke witness those moments…and the irony in the reason being why he didn’t bc SMH he was unconscious and was busy displaying his own real form of heartfelt humanity in his form of sacrifice
I like how Sasuke as a problem for Ninja World is a analogy of how society acts with neglect with people until their become a problem. They killed his entire family, they lie about the nature of their murders and they hide this lie forever. But when he becomes a problem and tried to kill the games it's when he gets attention. Isn't exactly how our society works? One's problems aren't anyone's problems until this one becomes a problem.
Sasuke the best character in the series to me great vid, I can't believe there's people who actually call him a b*** or a crybaby for all he had to go through
This series so perfectly and so eloquently captured why Naruto is my favorite piece of media and what I mean when I say it felt like it had the most to say about humanity. Thank you for making these videos. I'm going to show them to as many people as I can.
This video series has really helped me contextualize my emotional attachment to Naruto. There was a lot I had already realized due to actively pondering narrative themes, and Naruto isn’t overly subtle with them, but your videos provided insight into what I missed and a better understanding of what I hadn’t. Thank you, sincerely.
Been experiencing life and trying to understand myself, got into jung and nitche for that reason and boy do u do a good job tying the whole naruto plot and sub plot points together and carefully. Naruto is a complete story, a story about wholeness and how no one man is completely whole but family and friends can mend those gaps.
Waterfall of Truth, Kurama, Curse Mark and Mangekyo's response to hatred strongly ring a bell of confronting the shadow or being possessed by it. The first even reminds me of active imagination. Also, technically Naruto within himself encountered Trickster (Kurama), Wise Old Man (Hagoromo), Anima and Animus (Minato and Kushina).
@@Reality-Distortion Naruto’s nine tails form after he integrates his shadow (kurama and his hatred and his own personal hatred) becomes yellow (consciousness and awareness like the sun) and black (danger and the unknown) are both in uniform literally and figuratively. The horns he gets are crowns, the cape signifying triumph. There’s sooo much hidden within this work of art that it would take ions to dissect, it’s on the same level of complexity as the Bible wit it’s continuous and limitless interpretations. This is why I believe Naruto to be Japans magnum opus.
Might be the greatest analysis I’ve ever seen, and I’ve never even heard of you before. Phenomenal work! I hope that the people who worked on Naruto see this and I hope it makes their day like it did mine.
WOW! Just... WOW! By far the best Naruto, nah, the best anime video essay I've ever seen. Throughout the video I kept having eureka moments about certain actions I've had throughout my life and considering I just finished it, I'm still trying to process everything, but without a doubt this is an absolute masterpiece. My sincerest congratulations to you internet stranger 👍
🥺🥺🥺 I swear I’m not crying 😢 It’s a cloudy day right now in New York and this video made it a little brighter. What a great introspective look. Ten thousand thumbs up
You absolutely astound me with your perspective. The way in which you shed new light on a Series I have been obsessed with since I was in the 4th grade is nothing short of awe inspiring. I thought I knew everything , every lesson, every detail.. but each video you make you prove me otherwise. Please keep this up. Your channel is the best I’ve come across since I’ve been on this site.
This is a beautiful interpretation of what you saw in the Naruto series. The analysis of the characters, the bigger picture you saw in the plot, the meaning for each person and the role they played in the overarching story. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!
You touch on so many moments I didn't know mattered while watching Naruto and you make all of them make sense. You are the only person I know that has that much understanding of this series. Keep it up.
This analysis was just honestly breathtaking. Like not only is your take and script overwhelmingly seems like so much hard work was put into it, but the way the visuals in the video was composed for every aspect you talked about matched was just a very nice cherry on top. Haven’t seen a single Sasuke analysis video that has gone this deep into that character and after finishing watching this I can now say that I definitely underestimated how well written he was despite him being one of my favorite characters. All in all really wonderful video, shit even made me shed a tear. I love Naruto so much and this honestly made my day, definitely subscribing. You’re way to underrated for your production value.
Excellent video my man, I’ve personally always liked Sasuke's character arc whereas others would always say that he was a bad and inconsistent character. You earned a like and sub from me!
This was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in terms of analysis..PLEASE tell me you’ll be doing future videos on other individual characters? I would love a Tsunade and Sakura analysis from you personally. I would support your channel financially through a Patreon to see such a thing.
Hell yea. I loved it. Originally meant to have this as a background video while I finish the remaining of my essay for college class, but ended up focusing. Loved it
Damn I almost like the Kaguya arc now after you recontextualized it with the call back to the bell test test and the motivations of the characters involved.
This video was amazing. I'm a newer Naruto fan and I love the way you describe part of the story. I've been through a rough time recently I resonate with the story of Sasuke, but seeing and hearing it in this way of a person who couldn't see themselves helped open up my own eyes thanks so much. Gotta love Naruto! ❤️
What a fantastic series, my man! You honestly rekindle my love for Naruto; your interpretation and the way you wrote these videos are nothing short of amazing! I can only thank you, so... thank you!
Amazing. I was pretty sceptical starting this Video, but i was truly surprised by the quality of this content. I considered myself having practically completely understood this Masterpiece, so much there is nothing new someone could teach me about it. But you phrased it all so beautifully and gave the personality and the mental state of the characters so good away, you truly gave me a new point of view on this show i always kind of suspected existed but never understood in a way like now. Thank you for this Video.
"The dream of a future is usurped, by the dream of a far future" 🤯💯 23:35 - 24:07 Bruh all your videos/analysis are straight 🔥🔥🔥. I could listen to them all day, all you spit is straight facts!!!
Plz never stop making videos . It hasnt even been 1 month since i stumbled upon your channel and yet you are already one of my favourite creators i have ever seen .
I would have to say that Sasuke is probably the misunderstood character in anime. The people that always try to downplay and disregard his trauma are insane. His brother made him re-watch his family’s death over and over for 72hours and then made him rewatch it again in tsukiyomi when he was 12 years old. People hate him because they think he is evil but he’s really not. Sasuke is often a misunderstood character by the audience. He is either condemned for his past or his mistakes which makes people to even be angry at the slightest bit of happiness he receives but are fine with Gaara and Obito getting redeemed somehow. However I feel that Sasuke is just a bit too much of a complex character for them. Sure, Sasuke made a lot of mistakes however it was all because he wanted to avenge his family and afterwards he got manipulated and sunken into the darkness. I'm not saying that his actions are easily forgivable however he already redeemed himself and is continuing to redeem himself by protecting the village and the world even to this day. I feel that nowadays,people fall too easy for the sob stories instead of trying to actually understand characters too. Maybe if Sasuke had the same backstory as Naruto,people wouldn't have such a negative view on him (Not everyone). Whether you love him or not,Sasuke is one of the most tragic and complex characters in the show. Not only he suffered most of his life but out of all the characters that we were presented,he needed love into his cold heart and deserved to receive love more than anyone. And he got that thanks to his wife,Sakura ,his daughter,Sarada and his best friend,Naruto. Those are the people who know that the real sasuke is a kindhearted man and that the Sasuke in front of them was just a too hurt and broken Sasuke who was sunk into the darkness. We know how the Uchiha clan is the clan that treasures love the most so once lost,the amount of pain and anger in their heart is unmeasurable described by Kishimoto,-Sasuke is a pure character. If he loves,he truly loves and if he hates,he truly hates. However just because he doesn't act like Naruto does,it doesn't mean that he doesn't love the people around him.The simple fact that he acknowledges you as someone important in his life,should give away how important you are to this character,who truly doesn't allow just anyone close to him. Sasuke is a unique character who deserves more understanding and recognition because out of everyone,he truly proved several times how much he wants to change himself,how much he loves his wife and daughter,how much he treasures his friendship with Naruto and how much he wants to give the new generation a safe world to live in even if that meant sacrificing his own happiness. This man deserves love. He deserves having a warm happy home,and the fact that he has Sakura and Sarada to give that to him,is simply the most important thing because those two and Naruto hold his happiness in their hands...
Holy fuck where have you been in my sub box for the last 10 years on this site Your writing is some of the best and most impactful I've ever heard on this platform. Easiest subscription of my life.
THANK YOU, it bothers me so much when people say that kaguya was the final naruto villain. People dont realize that narutos final opsticle was Sasuke NOT Kaguya.
As a life long naruto fan I want to say thank you for this video. By far the best character/ story analysis I have seen. Just found your channel and you just gained a new subscriber.
This isn't a video; this is a work of art! Ngl, I didn't really appreciate Naruto as a series, since I only looked at its shortcomings, while ignoring the masterpiece that was lying in plain sight. All it took was an analysis video essay.
Sasuke's atonement is honestly one of my favourite things in manga I'm not the biggest fan of naruto tbh I dislike the majority of OG naruto and dislike the later half of ship but I feel sasuke's progression was the most satisfying to watch and his atonement in the end the most rewarding
I love the way you explain and contextualize everyone’s part in this story it’s nothing short of truly amazing. From guys sacrifice to obitos continuation of the cycle of vengeance and even Madaras and kaguyas role in it all. You really expanded my understanding of this series and I thank you for that. I gotta ask though where do you get this stuff? I mean you seem to have a pretty thorough understanding of storytelling and the human conditions influence on stories so I’m just curious what your background is if you don’t mind sharing.
15:50 « The home that obscured the light of the shadows was the shadow all along. » And 20:40 « Atempting to surpass a lord of emptiness. Vapid power. Power for the sake of movement. Movement without a destination. » Pure poetry, and those lines incapsulate so many of the hidden meanings and raw emotions the show convey. This video is a work of art and I wish everyone would watch Naruto and then watch that video because the philosophical ideas and answers we get from those two combined are enough to change a way of life ! So happy I found a RUclips channel that actually helped me get past my own, already deep, understanding of Naruto! Thanks a lot 😀
mad props for using a part of the opening Diver for the anime at 44:52 its so sleeped on in showcasing the second act of shippuden in my opinion and the song itself fits so perfectly. also theres alot of shit the end of shippuden gets but tbh for me everything after kaguya gets sealed is just art at its finest. when sasuke sees himself on the other side with all of narutos allies and says "okay.. then show me..." my heart just breaks and the conversation that follows on madara and hashirama's unison sign aaaaa i could gush for hours
Never stop bro. Your videos are genuinely some of, if not the best videos I’ve seen not just on RUclips, but on the entire internet. Keep going, you truly are something else💪🙌
I'm late but this is SO GOOD(I LOVED THE PART WHERE U MENTION THE BORUTO MOVIE/CHUNI EXAMS ARC I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN BUT SINCE IT'S DONE BY KISHI I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED LOL). This vid feels like a culmination of all ur Naruto vids so far touchin on many of the stuff mentioned before & It delivers to reemphasize the entire message of the story thru the character that demonstrates it best as the central Antagonist(s) always show the true plight the protag(s) & the series as a whole face from the beginnin to the very last moment before the screen/page goes blank 1 last time. I love that Sasuke is never truly 100% in the "wrong". I love characters like Naruto that will be stubborn & will attempt/succeed in tryin to get that "perfect" outcome they desire but even Naruto knows thru his journey that often MANY conflicts are settled thru a compromise where sides give/take as evenly as possible & use each others strength for the "best" possible outcome in a situation & embracin all the "good" & "bad" equally together even when not in full agreement brings the most stability & assurance towards whatever comes next. I've loved ur stuff since I found it way back & I'm glad this vid on my fav naruto character exists. Idk if I'll watch ur Boruto stuff (since I'm a hater for life lol) but I'd be down for jus bout anythin else u'll do. He really is the prefect final villain :)
Wow just wow it's just like what you said when you said at the beginning of your new series about Naruto having a profound message. This series really has had me rethinking a lot of things that has happened in my life.
Thank you for your amazing perspective. Your videos are actually beautiful and your understanding of this series is so incredible i can’t even right coherent sentences to articulate my appreciation for these videos about the show that taught me so much

“Just because something’s harder to grasp, doesn’t mean it’s futile”
I love how you did the best analysis for Sasuke.
He literally influenced Naruto and Sakura and he got influenced by them too.
he wasn't influenced by naruto.. and especially not by sakura lol
😂Frxx. M m 😂😢😂😢
@@Treasure-bl3cn He was influenced by both of them clown
Learn especially the manga
Great video. It’s a shame that Sasuke’s character was boiled down to “emo” for the longest time. Someone once said he was like a Seinen character stuck in a Shounen world. The truth is he added so much to the complexity and richness to the world of Naruto that even after so long, I keep coming back to it despite “growing out of the target demographic”.
This is how I feel about Sasuke. Sasuke is the amalgamation of all the problems of the shinobi system and in the end decides to help fix it. He is a great character. I love your videos this is a great analysis and breakdown. Also god I have a trilogy of videos to comeback to and watch
Omg, this is beautiful and needs way more views. Just seeing this also reminded me of people crapping on Sasuke being a bad imitation of Kurapika on Twitter and just seeing and hearing this here reminds me of how interwoven the story of naruto and sasuke is. I’m so glad stuck around to see it to the end! And well, it makes me wanna watch over the naruto series again ahhh.
A wise man once told me “Never take Twitter seriously “ I deleted Twitter simply because of the negativity majority are under-aged cry babies
Kurapika story isn't complex and amazing like of Sasuke.. only their origin is same and that's it..
What Kurapika did in his life. Sasuke already did that as a child and left it and moved on..
"The villain is not one who is wrong, but the one who does not accept that they are."
In the anime, Naruto and Sasuke’s colors in their final bout are yellow and purple respectively.
Colors that are compliments to each other, but are on opposite sides.
Sasuke is absolutely my favorite character. The changes he goes through is understandable. I can see myself in him
I just realized that Obito and Madara are essentially evil Naruto and Sasuke
This is one of the best in-depth discussions of the Naruto series out there. This has done so much to explain how deeo Sasuke is a character.
“Detachment is a vapid form of enlightenment. It’s a shortcut that doesn’t require its pursuers to walk alongside the world’s struggles.”
This may have genuinely changed my life.
Words cannot express just how great this video is or how much incredible effort went into making it. Truly great things in life take time. This one was more than well worth your investment in time and turmoil. You have.exceeded all expectations. I pray that this world finally rewards you for the artist you have become. Excellent work!
Genuinely one of if not the best Naruto deep dissection and examination I have ever watched, the way you managed to frame everything throgh the Ideologies that construct the story of the entire show to further explain what was truly going on is remarkable.
This was by far one of the best Naruto dissections I’ve ever seen.
It’s crazy because I just thought within the past week how could Sasuke not have learned more from the end moments (when Kakashi stated ‘look how things end for a rogue’) of the Zabuza arc glad this reminded me he actually never witnessed the darkness in this arcs villains experiencing their change in heart. Kakashi never made Sasuke witness those moments…and the irony in the reason being why he didn’t bc SMH he was unconscious and was busy displaying his own real form of heartfelt humanity in his form of sacrifice
This video is absolutely insane, I hope at least it goes viral in the community, most profound, nuanced, and accurate analysis of naruto
I like how Sasuke as a problem for Ninja World is a analogy of how society acts with neglect with people until their become a problem. They killed his entire family, they lie about the nature of their murders and they hide this lie forever. But when he becomes a problem and tried to kill the games it's when he gets attention. Isn't exactly how our society works? One's problems aren't anyone's problems until this one becomes a problem.
Sasuke the best character in the series to me great vid, I can't believe there's people who actually call him a b*** or a crybaby for all he had to go through
I guess those people would've done things A LOT differently 🤣
This series so perfectly and so eloquently captured why Naruto is my favorite piece of media and what I mean when I say it felt like it had the most to say about humanity.
Thank you for making these videos. I'm going to show them to as many people as I can.
That analysis on the team 7 meeting after the timeskip was so intriguing
This video series has really helped me contextualize my emotional attachment to Naruto. There was a lot I had already realized due to actively pondering narrative themes, and Naruto isn’t overly subtle with them, but your videos provided insight into what I missed and a better understanding of what I hadn’t.
Thank you, sincerely.
Been experiencing life and trying to understand myself, got into jung and nitche for that reason and boy do u do a good job tying the whole naruto plot and sub plot points together and carefully. Naruto is a complete story, a story about wholeness and how no one man is completely whole but family and friends can mend those gaps.
Waterfall of Truth, Kurama, Curse Mark and Mangekyo's response to hatred strongly ring a bell of confronting the shadow or being possessed by it. The first even reminds me of active imagination.
Also, technically Naruto within himself encountered Trickster (Kurama), Wise Old Man (Hagoromo), Anima and Animus (Minato and Kushina).
@@Reality-Distortion Naruto’s nine tails form after he integrates his shadow (kurama and his hatred and his own personal hatred) becomes yellow (consciousness and awareness like the sun) and black (danger and the unknown) are both in uniform literally and figuratively. The horns he gets are crowns, the cape signifying triumph. There’s sooo much hidden within this work of art that it would take ions to dissect, it’s on the same level of complexity as the Bible wit it’s continuous and limitless interpretations. This is why I believe Naruto to be Japans magnum opus.
Might be the greatest analysis I’ve ever seen, and I’ve never even heard of you before. Phenomenal work! I hope that the people who worked on Naruto see this and I hope it makes their day like it did mine.
This video is an absolute masterpiece. This deserves so much more love.
WOW!
Just... WOW!
By far the best Naruto, nah, the best anime video essay I've ever seen. Throughout the video I kept having eureka moments about certain actions I've had throughout my life and considering I just finished it, I'm still trying to process everything, but without a doubt this is an absolute masterpiece. My sincerest congratulations to you internet stranger 👍
It is really sad that people think he is trash but then hype zoro who is just a cool person
🥺🥺🥺 I swear I’m not crying 😢
It’s a cloudy day right now in New York and this video made it a little brighter.
What a great introspective look. Ten thousand thumbs up
You absolutely astound me with your perspective. The way in which you shed new light on a Series I have been obsessed with since I was in the 4th grade is nothing short of awe inspiring. I thought I knew everything , every lesson, every detail.. but each video you make you prove me otherwise. Please keep this up. Your channel is the best I’ve come across since I’ve been on this site.
This is a beautiful interpretation of what you saw in the Naruto series. The analysis of the characters, the bigger picture you saw in the plot, the meaning for each person and the role they played in the overarching story. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it!
Bro the ending of the video got me super emotional wonderful analysis
Prob the best naruto analysis video on this whole site
BANGERRRRR! Ngl bro I teared up at the end. Amazing storytelling spicy. #1 anime of all time.
The best thing I've seen all year, probably the best thing to come out of this community since I've been part of it.
You touch on so many moments I didn't know mattered while watching Naruto and you make all of them make sense.
You are the only person I know that has that much understanding of this series. Keep it up.
This analysis was just honestly breathtaking. Like not only is your take and script overwhelmingly seems like so much hard work was put into it, but the way the visuals in the video was composed for every aspect you talked about matched was just a very nice cherry on top. Haven’t seen a single Sasuke analysis video that has gone this deep into that character and after finishing watching this I can now say that I definitely underestimated how well written he was despite him being one of my favorite characters.
All in all really wonderful video, shit even made me shed a tear. I love Naruto so much and this honestly made my day, definitely subscribing. You’re way to underrated for your production value.
Excellent video my man, I’ve personally always liked Sasuke's character arc whereas others would always say that he was a bad and inconsistent character. You earned a like and sub from me!
This was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in terms of analysis..PLEASE tell me you’ll be doing future videos on other individual characters? I would love a Tsunade and Sakura analysis from you personally. I would support your channel financially through a Patreon to see such a thing.
this is probably the best analysis I’ve ever seen on my favorite anime character of all time. Good on ya mate, thanks so much for this.
Dope breakdown, Sasuke is one of favorite if not my favorite character in the series.
Hell yea. I loved it. Originally meant to have this as a background video while I finish the remaining of my essay for college class, but ended up focusing. Loved it
You speak in a way that makes me feel like I understand what you're explaining but leaves me unable to explain it myself
“Honey!! Hotboyspicy just uploaded another peak narrative analysis”
I have never seen such a beautiful essay on my favourite childhood show hats off to you brother it was truly incredible
Damn I almost like the Kaguya arc now after you recontextualized it with the call back to the bell test test and the motivations of the characters involved.
this is easily the best video i have seen describing sasukes storyline and motivations. thank you for this!!
This video was amazing. I'm a newer Naruto fan and I love the way you describe part of the story. I've been through a rough time recently I resonate with the story of Sasuke, but seeing and hearing it in this way of a person who couldn't see themselves helped open up my own eyes thanks so much. Gotta love Naruto! ❤️
Didn’t wanna cry at work today but.. thanks itachi. I’ll be subbing now
What a fantastic series, my man! You honestly rekindle my love for Naruto; your interpretation and the way you wrote these videos are nothing short of amazing!
I can only thank you, so... thank you!
Amazing.
I was pretty sceptical starting this Video, but i was truly surprised by the quality of this content. I considered myself having practically completely understood this Masterpiece, so much there is nothing new someone could teach me about it.
But you phrased it all so beautifully and gave the personality and the mental state of the characters so good away, you truly gave me a new point of view on this show i always kind of suspected existed but never understood in a way like now.
Thank you for this Video.
Beautiful, rekindled my love for Naruto’s story line 🔥
I just found your channel today and I can't stop listening because I feel like I'm being educated by Itachi himself
"The dream of a future is usurped, by the dream of a far future" 🤯💯
23:35 - 24:07
Bruh all your videos/analysis are straight 🔥🔥🔥. I could listen to them all day, all you spit is straight facts!!!
Plz never stop making videos . It hasnt even been 1 month since i stumbled upon your channel and yet you are already one of my favourite creators i have ever seen .
I would have to say that Sasuke is probably the misunderstood character in anime. The people that always try to downplay and disregard his trauma are insane. His brother made him re-watch his family’s death over and over for 72hours and then made him rewatch it again in tsukiyomi when he was 12 years old. People hate him because they think he is evil but he’s really not. Sasuke is often a misunderstood character by the audience. He is either condemned for his past or his mistakes which makes people to even be angry at the slightest bit of happiness he receives but are fine with Gaara and Obito getting redeemed somehow. However I feel that Sasuke is just a bit too much of a complex character for them. Sure, Sasuke made a lot of mistakes however it was all because he wanted to avenge his family and afterwards he got manipulated and sunken into the darkness. I'm not saying that his actions are easily forgivable however he already redeemed himself and is continuing to redeem himself by protecting the village and the world even to this day. I feel that nowadays,people fall too easy for the sob stories instead of trying to actually understand characters too. Maybe if Sasuke had the same backstory as Naruto,people wouldn't have such a negative view on him (Not everyone).
Whether you love him or not,Sasuke is one of the most tragic and complex characters in the show. Not only he suffered most of his life but out of all the characters that we were presented,he needed love into his cold heart and deserved to receive love more than anyone. And he got that thanks to his wife,Sakura ,his daughter,Sarada and his best friend,Naruto. Those are the people who know that the real sasuke is a kindhearted man and that the Sasuke in front of them was just a too hurt and broken Sasuke who was sunk into the darkness. We know how the Uchiha clan is the clan that treasures love the most so once lost,the amount of pain and anger in their heart is unmeasurable described by Kishimoto,-Sasuke is a pure character. If he loves,he truly loves and if he hates,he truly hates. However just because he doesn't act like Naruto does,it doesn't mean that he doesn't love the people around him.The simple fact that he acknowledges you as someone important in his life,should give away how important you are to this character,who truly doesn't allow just anyone close to him. Sasuke is a unique character who deserves more understanding and recognition because out of everyone,he truly proved several times how much he wants to change himself,how much he loves his wife and daughter,how much he treasures his friendship with Naruto and how much he wants to give the new generation a safe world to live in even if that meant sacrificing his own happiness. This man deserves love. He deserves having a warm happy home,and the fact that he has Sakura and Sarada to give that to him,is simply the most important thing because those two and Naruto hold his happiness in their hands...
Sasuke mid
@@MarukaiX Bro you ruined the moment.

@@D_Owo 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Sasuke was still “evil”, no matter how complex he is. His past does not justify his actions, and that’s one of the points of the show.
Your Naruto videos are amazing!! You deserve at least a million subs, imo!
Holy fuck where have you been in my sub box for the last 10 years on this site
Your writing is some of the best and most impactful I've ever heard on this platform.
Easiest subscription of my life.
THANK YOU, it bothers me so much when people say that kaguya was the final naruto villain. People dont realize that narutos final opsticle was Sasuke NOT Kaguya.
U can say antagonist
Hands down my favorite character from Naruto he is just a cool character.
Very poetic love every bit of it. Best work I've seen on this topic so far. Great work and much love.
As a life long naruto fan I want to say thank you for this video. By far the best character/ story analysis I have seen. Just found your channel and you just gained a new subscriber.
Oh well looks like I'm crying now... thanks HotBoySpicy 😭 beautiful video
This isn't a video; this is a work of art! Ngl, I didn't really appreciate Naruto as a series, since I only looked at its shortcomings, while ignoring the masterpiece that was lying in plain sight. All it took was an analysis video essay.
I really enjoyed this video, you are such an underrated youtuber.
I hope your light never goes dim.
Sasuke's atonement is honestly one of my favourite things in manga I'm not the biggest fan of naruto tbh I dislike the majority of OG naruto and dislike the later half of ship but I feel sasuke's progression was the most satisfying to watch and his atonement in the end the most rewarding
I love the way you explain and contextualize everyone’s part in this story it’s nothing short of truly amazing. From guys sacrifice to obitos continuation of the cycle of vengeance and even Madaras and kaguyas role in it all. You really expanded my understanding of this series and I thank you for that. I gotta ask though where do you get this stuff? I mean you seem to have a pretty thorough understanding of storytelling and the human conditions influence on stories so I’m just curious what your background is if you don’t mind sharing.
I'm just someone who is very passionate about stories. Enough to think about them to this degree. I'm also a writer too, if that says anything.
15:50 « The home that obscured the light of the shadows was the shadow all along. »
And 20:40 « Atempting to surpass a lord of emptiness. Vapid power. Power for the sake of movement. Movement without a destination. »
Pure poetry, and those lines incapsulate so many of the hidden meanings and raw emotions the show convey.
This video is a work of art and I wish everyone would watch Naruto and then watch that video because the philosophical ideas and answers we get from those two combined are enough to change a way of life ! So happy I found a RUclips channel that actually helped me get past my own, already deep, understanding of Naruto! Thanks a lot 😀
I'm not a Naruto fan but I can vicariously be one through a vid like this. Good shit Hotboy.
I swear I thought this was itachi’s English VA for like the first 10 minutes
mad props for using a part of the opening Diver for the anime at 44:52 its so sleeped on in showcasing the second act of shippuden in my opinion and the song itself fits so perfectly.
also theres alot of shit the end of shippuden gets but tbh for me everything after kaguya gets sealed is just art at its finest. when sasuke sees himself on the other side with all of narutos allies and says "okay.. then show me..." my heart just breaks and the conversation that follows on madara and hashirama's unison sign aaaaa i could gush for hours
Never stop bro. Your videos are genuinely some of, if not the best videos I’ve seen not just on RUclips, but on the entire internet. Keep going, you truly are something else💪🙌
Phenomenal video man! The deep introspection and depth to the story, and the emotions as well. Truly incredible work! WOW
I haven’t even started it yet but thank you for the Naruto videos some of the best content on RUclips. I love your analysis of the series
Holy shit dude. What a GOD TIER video. This was amazing!
I'm late but this is SO GOOD(I LOVED THE PART WHERE U MENTION THE BORUTO MOVIE/CHUNI EXAMS ARC I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN BUT SINCE IT'S DONE BY KISHI I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED LOL). This vid feels like a culmination of all ur Naruto vids so far touchin on many of the stuff mentioned before & It delivers to reemphasize the entire message of the story thru the character that demonstrates it best as the central Antagonist(s) always show the true plight the protag(s) & the series as a whole face from the beginnin to the very last moment before the screen/page goes blank 1 last time. I love that Sasuke is never truly 100% in the "wrong". I love characters like Naruto that will be stubborn & will attempt/succeed in tryin to get that "perfect" outcome they desire but even Naruto knows thru his journey that often MANY conflicts are settled thru a compromise where sides give/take as evenly as possible & use each others strength for the "best" possible outcome in a situation & embracin all the "good" & "bad" equally together even when not in full agreement brings the most stability & assurance towards whatever comes next. I've loved ur stuff since I found it way back & I'm glad this vid on my fav naruto character exists. Idk if I'll watch ur Boruto stuff (since I'm a hater for life lol) but I'd be down for jus bout anythin else u'll do. He really is the prefect final villain :)
Yes! Been waiting a long time for this! Your videos always make my day 100 times better!
Seeing you acknowledging Sasukes story in boruto makes me really happy
Wow just wow it's just like what you said when you said at the beginning of your new series about Naruto having a profound message. This series really has had me rethinking a lot of things that has happened in my life.
This is such a great video, I love it. I hope this gets a lot of attention
Meanwhile Kishimoto:
So that's why Sasuke acts that way
This video is incredible,
Well put together, amazing script, excellent transitions. Severely underrated channel. Instant sub
Love this. Thank you for expressing your incredible thoughts on a anime I love so much
This was brilliant every step of the way.
Naruto was a incredible journey. It feels like you’re inside the anime yourself.
Thank you for your amazing perspective. Your videos are actually beautiful and your understanding of this series is so incredible i can’t even right coherent sentences to articulate my appreciation for these videos about the show that taught me so much
