Here's a link to my addendum on this topic that more accurately depicts my stance now: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMeaosSo0p-xmIE.html Basically, I stand by most of what I said about Kurapika, but I think I could've done a better job describing Sasuke here. Many of the comments on this upload talk about how Kurapika is the better character for XYZ reasons, but if I had done a better job at defending Sasuke the first time, maybe things could've been a bit more neutral. Then again, maybe not! I'm not psychic! Personally, I do prefer Kurapika to Sasuke on the whole, but that doesn't make him a better Sasuke. In fact, you could argue that Sasuke is the more important of the two since he's key to Naruto's narrative and structure, whereas Kurapika isn't wholly necessary. Again, check out the linked video for my more detailed thoughts on the topic. Also...for the record, Sasuke wasn't inspired by Kurapika (even though I once thought otherwise). He was actually inspired by Hiei, and I have a source for that: imgur.com/a/BdSvW9P Also...yes I was kinda sick when I recorded this video. No, blowing my nose in-between lines was not helping me sound not sick. Gomenasai. Specific nitpicks: 5:00 - YES I KNOW THAT SASUKE IS LEFT-HANDED (he's actually ambidextrous, but he used his left for the Hagoromo thing). I COULD'VE PICKED A BETTER SIMILE TO CONVEY MY POINT! I'M SORRY!! lol 6:55 - Ehh. The protagonists in Naruto generally go out of their way to avoid killing someone, so even if they do kill on occasion, that's not really enough to say the two stories are different in this regard. Maybe there's a point to be made here, but I didn't have enough evidence to even convince my current self, so...a pointless aside. 8:13 - This is also wrong. Kurapika can only use chain jail on the spiders, but the rest of his powers can be used against anyone.

Sasuke is easily the best character in the series my god, you just don’t let it go, will you? Sasuke is interesting, but I only wished we saw some more of his personality. Perhaps it’s the difference of experience, and age, but definitely, HxH was more comprehensive. (I read the magazines&books in Japanese - so no language barrier there hah.) It’s interesting that Naruto is much more popular overseas. It makes sense though, he did say in an interview, he decided to write about ninja (shinobi) because he wanted to target the non Japanese audience (he knew about the fascination non Japanese people have about ninjas - in some ways more than a Japanese person may have over shinobi). It may be because Japanese people know about how shinobi were real, in sengoku history.

Sasuke is easily the best character in the series not true. Most likely a lot is lost in the translation. Japanese has a lot based on nuance. Just the way (not voice actor but how they sentence the words) Kurapika and Sasuke ‘talks’ you actually kind of get their personality on the get go. Partially, anyway, since the way they talk is so telling of how they act. By the way Kurapika talks, we can see that he is very strict. Sasuke, in the other hand may be more “manly”, and less strict. (I might not be explaining it well enough - but for example, Kurapika could be a person who does kendo and the way Sasuke talks, he sounds more like a teenager. Nothing bad, but it’s he way they talk, and I’m sure both mangaka was considering this when they wrote the characters.) for example, Naruto TALKS childish. I’ve seen 12 year olds who talk more maturely. Honestly, many people lose a lot of nuances over the translation. It’s like if you’re American, how would you explain the southern accent, and the different nuances you get on the intonation in English to a person who doesn’t understand fluent English? Yeah, it’s hard.

I ended up removing him from that list after I thought about it some more, so I was glad to talk about him here. I have another video like this one in the works that also broke away from that top 10.

He was a fantastic character in Naruto proper though, never gonna argue that. Learns that his brother didn't betray the village but protected it => "Imma destroy that fckin village because I'm mad and don't care about what my brother stood for 'cause I'm an angry teen and I hate everything" Making his brother even more of a failure in the process.

If the village used your own brother as a way of killing your whole clan, of course you'd be fucking pissed. It'd be questionable if you weren't. Who the fuck would agree with such a horrible method being used to massacre a clan. Even so, an edgy sasuke is better than a dull kurapika. Without kurapikas whole "I'm going to avenge my clan" the guy literally has no personality. He's completely fucking boring. Unlike sasuke.

I mean for fucks sake kakashi HAS a sharingan and has used it for a long time. HE CAN TEACH YOU. especially in shippuden sasuke's character is rivaling naruto's in the terrible character department. Its funny really, narutos side characters all outshine the main 3 (sasuke, naruto, sakura) by such a large margin. I guess the more time we see characters the more kishimoto's writting faults are revealed.

In sasukes case he had friends,but didn't listen and had no development. War happens then he fights his friend looses ROLL CREDITS. Kurapika choose his friends over his revenge showing his development that was developed after meeting his friends. You try to compare naruto which ended to a show that is slowly continuing.

Sasuke or rather kishimoto tried to copy the formula but failed miserably. Sasuke is so disliked by even the naruto fandom while kuripika is liked by everyone being if not their fav character a top 3 character in a series with such complex characters. It’s a true triumph. Even in the manga now he just keeps growing. Sasukes character development was damn near unbelievable and badly written. Honestly he should’ve died naruto should have killed him that wouldve been a way better ending for him. Or at least thrown in jail. Don’t get me wrong I think sasuke has some of the coolest powers in fiction but if where talking who’s overall a better character it’s kuripika by far.

sasukes storyline wasn't about him just killing his brother, it was an exploration of the type of world the ninja reside in where you might have to murder your entire family. and how this affected his life. another theme in sasukes plot arc is him learning the truth and learning to let go of his hatred and walk forward into the future by letting go of attachments to the past.

This decision was very controversial to many, but in a lot of ways it made sense. After finding out the truth about his brother he really had two choices: return to Konaha or make the people responsible for Itachi's despair and death pay. Sasuke obviously chose the latter, but this wasn't a crazy choice. How could he live knowing that the people who were responsible for everything his brother went through we're just enjoying life and it would've been even harder for him to return and live under their system and ideals, the same ideals that led to Itachi's situation. Yes, this decision went against Itachi's wishes, but he was desperate to avenge his brother like he once was to avenge his clan, this was his form of justice. Why Sasuke Uchiha is a Good Character Many people seem to dislike Sasuke Uchiha due to his emotional outbursts and decision making throughout the Naruto series. And I will admit he hasn't always made the best decisions, but in my opinion he is one of the best written and developed characters in the series. In this blog I'm going to try to analyze and break down some of the biggest concerns people have with him as well as look into his point of view and his reasoning behind these controversial decisions and thoughts. :black_small_square: Sasuke's Decision to leave Konaha To me Sasuke's decision to leave Konaha was very clear and reasonable. Sure revenge isn't the best path but to him it was the obvious one. He was just a child when Itachi killed his entire clan, that would leave any kid emotionally wrecked and the only clear action to take was to avenge his family. His decision to join Orochimaru also made sense because it was a clear path to becoming stronger to face Itachi (which was his only goal), he was able to gain a large amount of power very quickly. He also never really intended to give Orochimaru his body, this was shown by the fact that he betrayed and killed him when he felt he had become strong enough. The only true way to avenge his clan was to have Itachi killed by his own hands.This decision was very controversial to many, but in a lot of ways it made sense. After finding out the truth about his brother he really had two choices: return to Konaha or make the people responsible for Itachi's despair and death pay. Sasuke obviously chose the latter, but this wasn't a crazy choice. How could he live knowing that the people who were responsible for everything his brother went through we're just enjoying life and it would've been even harder for him to return and live under their system and ideals, the same ideals that led to Itachi's situation. Yes, this decision went against Itachi's wishes, but he was desperate to avenge his brother like he once was to avenge his clan, this was his form of justice.Sasuke's version of the Hokage actually made some sense, I'm not saying it was the right decision but it would've ultimately led to peace through hatred. Sasuke wanted the world to unite against him just like how in the war everyone had united to defeat an unbeatable enemy. The situation would be the same except Sasuke himself would be this foe. He would essentially be taking on the role his brother took after murdering the clan and would be creating a union between all nations. This theory may have been a little wild but it had been shown throughout the shinobi history that this was one of the only ways that nations would work together and call peace. Sasuke would become the ultimate enemy that the world would strive to defeat. Sasuke also receives major character development in the final chapters of the series and we are finally able to see his true emotions and thoughts he was having this whole time. This development shined a light on the darkness in Sasuke's mind and showed that he was working for what he thought was truly right for the world. This also revealed his feelings and relationship with Naruto from his perspective which hadn't been shown much throughout the series. Through the dialog of the final few chapters, Sasuke's character is brilliantly highlighted and explored. Sasuke has clearly been through a lot and made a lot of hasty decisions based off his emotions and ideals, the same ideals and thoughts he developed by being engulfed by the darkness of the world from the time he was a small boy. I think if we were in his shoes we probably do the same thing or similar just to let you know the guy has lived a very sad life.

Core difference between those two is that Kurapika was what inspired Sasuke. While Kurapika was created with full freedom from expectations and thus was interesting and nuanced character, Sasuke had only the pieces from Kurapika that mattered for target demographic of edgy teenagers. In other words, Sasuke's sole purpose in story was to be cool, a love interest for female audience and idol for male audience. There was no need to make complex background for him as the target audience would have been too immature to understand those nuances. That's what happens when you choose your audience instead of your audience choosing you. You lose your pride and creative freedom and do only things that create calculated cheap pleasure for your fans. That's the problem anime in general suffers from. No Kurapikas, only Sasukes, because Sasukes are easier to create (copy) and sell better

In other words - FANDOMS ARE CRAP.
@Gemnist986 жыл бұрын
As for my opinion (because you'll inevitably ask for it), it appears there IS more HxH bias in the comments - and by bias, I mean they just randomly claim "HxH is better than Naruto" over and over. Simply stating that without any reasons is not an argument, it's fanboying. It's perfectly fine to like one over the other, but disregarding one because you like another is plain elitism. Yes, there are things that HxH does better than Naruto, but what a lot of people here seem to ignore is that vice versa happening is inevitable. If there are things in common between the two, it's fine to compare them, but not shove eternal hatred onto one. We should look at Kurapika and Sasuke, and by extension both series, individually when critiquing them. My main problem with Sasuke, IMO, is that he's in the story too much. His story develops well on its own, but it also becomes the backstory for a lot of Naruto's mythology, and this causes a lot of the supporting characters, as well as Sakura and my man Kakashi, to not have as much development as they otherwise could have, a problem that more applies to Killua than it does Kurapika. Kurapika, meanwhile, hasn't really gone anywhere. He's still chasing the same goal he was at the beginning, and unlike other characters, his motivations haven't evolved. Yes, he's shown to care for his friends, but he doesn't experience the emotional rollercoaster that Sasuke does in regards to them, which I think makes Sasuke have better character development, even if he doesn't have better characterization. It's hinted numerous times in Naruto that, if Sasuke finally finds consolation, he will return to Team 7, something a lot of people seem to neglect. And in the end, let's be honest about something: a lot of HxH fans are part of the demographic that believes watching "popular" anime like the Big Three is Satanic, even though it's becoming popular itself. Liking a show just because it's not as popular as another is not a judgment on the quality of the product at all; it just shows you're a closeted weeb. Mathwiz may like HxH more than Naruto, but he can see merits in Naruto without giving it the finger all the time.

A lot of people are taking about bias, but an unbiased view does not mean giving both sides equal merit. If you are unbiased then you recognize the merits that both sides have without adding your opinion to either side. As a fan of both I can say that kurapika is just a better character overall and there is one main reason for this. Sasuke is fuelled by revenge while kurapika is drained by it. For some reason it seems like sasuke lives to lash out. Everything he does is to facilitate him murdering his brother and he puts this before anything. Throughout the series sasuke has constantly rejected help from people because the only thing he cares about is his revenge. A single motive dosen't make a character. With kurapika he is more clearly conflicted. Every time he does something to further his goal of revenge it hurts him physically and emotionally because even though he still hasn't completely excepted his clan's death he knows that what he is doing is not good for him. Heck at the end of the York New City arc when he thought his goal was accomplished he was at peace but also empty because beyond revenge, he had no idea what he was going to do next. At least he had his friends to fall back on. Sasuke on the other hand had just been lashing out at everyone that by the time he did complete he goal, he had do nothing else but lash out some more. Idk kurapika's motivations just always came off as more believable.
@sirperybLakeney6 жыл бұрын
No, I disagree. The reason why Sasuke is a better character is because he's an exploration of what being obsessed with revenge actually does to someone while Kurapika, relatively speaking, is just a stock manga revenger. This vid makes far too much of Kurapika's choice at the end of York New. The point isn't that he chose his friends -it's that he hopped straight back on the revenge train (and yeah, in fairness, that is an exploration of what revenge does to somebody, as is his morphing into a Yakuza during the Ant arc, but it has nothing like the depth of what Sasuke goes through). Also, how can you say that Sasuke isn't conflicted? He repeatedly fails to kill Naruto despite having the opportunity when it would be of tremendous benefit to him. Later he is torn between his anger at the village for what it did to his family and honouring his brother's desire to protect Konoha above all. Given that ultimately Sasuke chooses the latter saying that there's no conflict seems especially crazy. Then after that you have conflict between Sasuke's plan to become a dictator and protect Konoha and the world by isolating himself through sacrificing his own personal feelings and the emotional pull of those ties. Sasuke pushes through with his plan but after the fight with Naruto just the use of the single phrase 'you loser' it should tell you that the pull of his ties to his friends in Team 7 has, belatedly, won out. I find it bizarre that people treat Kishimoto at face value but worship Togashi's every doodle. Kishimoto is genuinely influenced by Togashi (not in the way many people think of ripping off plot elements -that's mostly misguided nonsense) and Naruto is full of psychological depth. Nonetheless, when Togashi defies audience expectations he gets hailed as a genius but when Kishimoto does it he gets accused of being a bad writer. Go figure.

@@sirperybLakeney Idk but I felt like both writter just pulled off this...what do you call it? Its like a different type of psychological stuff they both write about. The genius in both mangakas is that they focus on that plot development but while Kishimoto wrote the story focused on Naruto and Sasuke being geniuses(naruto having the tailed beast counts). Togashi had a more spread out kind of. I don't really know how to explain it. Its like they both express their characters in a different psychological way depending on how they intend their stories to bend. Sasuke, for example, wants to beat Itachi and take revenge. While it may seem stupid and straightforward like naruto's goal to be hokage, he develops his inferiority complex because he wants to get stronger and somehow this boy the same age as him is already way stronger. Kurapika on the other hand, is more hands-off and calculated. I'm not saying he's better but in terms of what he mentally went through when planning his revenge plit out is still a mystery(unless you read the manga, the manga goes in depth) sasuke had mkre than 500 episodes to reveal to us exactly how he is, how op he is, and how he developed as a perskn with mixed feelings and goals. Kurapika for all we knew was just a badass we wanted to cheer for but that didn't make his goal any clearer or right. Both stories include a lot of though and even the slightest change in a factor could change the stpry of their lives comepletely.

JEN ジェン because Itachi IS Sasuke's life. He spend most of his time with his brother, he spends time training with his brother, and Itachi already looks like an example figure for Sasuke. That, until Itachi kills the entire Uchiha clans and shatters Sasuke's image of him and kickstart his revenge quest. With that said, Itachi himself kills the entire Uchiha clans because of their plan for coup, with hope to bring peace upon Konoha, even if he needs to gets his hand dirty. And that's why Itachi needs Sasuke to kill him. To sort of "sealed the terrible history" of the clans. And YES, hoping that by venging his family and kills him, Sasuke will be at peace. And remember, this whole thing were told by Tobi directly to Sasuke after he killed Itachi. You would think that after hearing that, Sasuke will return to Konoha and accept his fate as a fugitive for the sake of his unfortunate brother's wish to keep Konoha in peace ???? NOPE !!!! He goes around throwing tantrum and be like "he forced my brother !!!!" And tries to kills all Kages out of spite and hatred. And even further causing mayhem because of it. This act alone has proven that Sasuke was written in such an incredible inconsistency that almost baffling. His goals were fulfilled, and even then he even gets a chance to hear his brother's side of the story from Itachi's mosg trusted ally. And then he completely neglects it and straight out being edgy and hateful for no fucking reasons

His pinky finger chain (the one that allows him to create contracts with someone's life at stake) is limited to when he has the scarlet eyes, but all of the others he can use with no particular circumstances. If he used the contract chain on Sasuke, and said something along the lines of "You try and attack me and you die" then he would essentially win.

A large portion of the antagonists are defeated through talking, and the ninja war was started by Obito, not the Shinobi Nations. They fought to defend themselves, and tried to work it out peacefully a few times, managing to convince Obito to see the error of his ways. They were just unable to do that with Madara or Kaguya, so force was the only possible option.

Also Kishimoto and Togashi are buddies IRL and Naruto has a lot of shoutouts to (or, less charitably, ripoffs from, but let’s be charitable) Togashi’s work in it. The biggest examples of the top of my head are the basics of Sasuke’s character premise, the Nine Tails being named after Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (who is a fox youkai and one of the core 4 in that series), and those two guys who ate the Nine Tails’s stomach lining having taboo word powers like Yu Kaito (who was defeated at his own game by Kurama). Kishimoto just isn’t as good a writer as Togashi is, and we shouldn’t be surprised that a guy who has to pull out New Jutsu As The Plot Demands because he’s bad at writing escalating villain threat without writing himself into a corner doesn’t measure up to the best writer the genre has ever seen.

Madara was too OP to be killed because Kishimoto wrote himself into a corner (which he admitted). Meruem was too OP to be killed in an honest fight in service of thematic elements. There were no mechanics forcing Togashi's hand to make Netero vs. Meruem end the way it did, because we hadn't seen either character in a serious fight. The Rose Bomb wasn't foreshadowed in name or specifics, but something *on the level* of the Rose Bomb was the logical bitter culmination of the arc's major theme: Human or Ant, you can be a monster. The humans had to level something against Meruem -- a man down to eat children and commit genocide -- that spoke SO poorly of humanity's character that it could look the audience in the face and still say that humans could be Just As Bad. That's why the story demanded that Meruem be so OP. Meanwhile, Gon's sudden power up... I've actually written a small essay before that breaks down the way that was a carefully-set-up deconstruction of the "shounen protagonist gets big powerup from righteous fury" cliche. It's too long for a KZfaq comment, but the setup started with making us sympathetic to Komugi, so that, when Gon hates hypocrisy more than he cares about her life, the audience is invited and encouraged to emotionally disengage from Gon as a protagonist and instead identify with Killua's feelings as a bystander who loves Gon but is helpless to talk him out of this, ultimately building up to a hollow, unsatisfying victory against an enemy who's already dead, the exact opposite emotional outcome from what usually happens when this trope appears. The narrator is hand-holdy during this, but the narrator is hand-holdy through the entire last half of the Chimera Ant arc because of the clusterfuck of simultaneous scenes -- which I admit is a flaw -- but anyone who has internalized the Magic A Is Magic A and isn't lost by this point is going to know before the narrator says anything that there are going to be Terrible Consequences for whatever the fuck Gon just did, and there are. Alluka ends up offsetting some of those Terrible Consequences, but it took an entire arc to do, Alluka herself was foreshadowed, and it properly introduces that shit from the "Dark Continent" (I hate that name) -- where this strain of Chimera Ants is also implied to have come from -- can sometimes bend the power limitations, which opens interesting doors for the origins of Emperor Time and what's up with Chrollo (my money is on "bodysnatched an 11-year-old boy in Meteor City via haunted video tape, because in order to understand the humans you have to become the humans").

Actually there is one huge thing you forgot kinda... Sasuke was loosing his goal after spending time with team 7 until Itachi showed up, made him boil with revenge. Reason why he decided to leave them behind is because he realized he is to weak and even Naruto was getting stronger then him. The very first battle between them was actually the most important one. Kurapika after being separated from his friends went only straight line till his friends came. Also note that Kurapika was older then Sasuke in Naruto series when he made his statement. Honestly, for me Sasuke's reasons for doing what he was doing is justified. If someone killed everyone I knew I would act same! Later on in shippuden you can see Sasuke mature level when he decided to ask for guidance and explanations from previous hokages, if i was him I wouldn't care less and kill entire village. But hey, thats just me ^^"
@thenew45595 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Sasuke was also constantly morally conflicted throughout the series. Initially he was introduced as being very single-minded towards vengeance, but after the first few arcs he gained a deep appreciation for friendship, similar to Kurapika. The only difference in this respect was that Sasuke's appreciation for friendship wasn't as great as his desire for hatred, prompting him to leave his friends until the latter parts of the War Arc at the end of Shippuden, when he was won back over by Naruto. Kurapika, on the other hand, never let go of his friendships. Sasuke definitely wasn't as morally single-minded as the video makes him out to be.

That was the turning point. I don't think gon, killua or even kurapika could be compared to sasuke. There's just alot of inner conflict he had to deal with that I don't think any of those characters had too. I mean sure it's fucked up that kurapika's family/clan got killed be the troupe, but imagine if they got killed by his own brother who then forced him into an illusion where he had to repeatedly witness his families death over and over.

@Plot made Sasuke not copy 1000 jutsu like Kakashi: Stop embarassing yourself kid... HxH does not have any "unfair advantages" you are just searching for escuses that naruto is not as good. just look at your silly fanboy user name for christs sake... togashi is the better writer overall...having more time had absolutely ZERO influence on HxH's story. need proof? well here is proof: 1.) *Yu Yu Hakusho, which is also written by Togashi, is AT LEAST as good as HxH if not even BETTER...and he did not go on hiatus while writing it* which means -> Togashi does not need breaks to make a better story than naruto. 2.) *If togashi would need that much time to make the story good, the chapters after a hiatus would be a LOT better than the chapters BEFORE a hiatus...and they aren't* which means -> the quality of the story telling does not differ no matter how much or how little time he has. On top of that another fact: Kishimoto NEVER had any popular series which only did consist out of his OWN IDEAS. Every single idea totally flopped... He only has Naruto. And he even admitted that he used another authors work as template for it. And that author was TOGASHI. So Kishimoto is not a good writer to begin with and if it weren't for Togashi, naruto would not even exist.
@novaletsplay26806 жыл бұрын
No my respond was NOT garbage. My respond was the truth that you don't want to hear. Every single point was valid and still stands even after your miserable excuse of a counter. *Respond to your first point:* How is your view and personal opinion on some characters a argument for the question "Who is the better writer?"? It isn't. the saying "Talking much but not saying anything" really fits you well. because you go on and on about stuff that has absolutely zero value or influence to the topic. congratulations... And you are even siding with me on that question...so why are you even argueing in the first place? How am I the fanboy if I just state the truth? YOU are the fanboy because you DEMAND others to give credit were no credit is EARNED. What exactly should I give him credit for? That he copied basically every single interesting element naruto has from HxH? Or for milking the cow named naruto for as long as he can because it is a established franchize and he is unable to come up with something NEW and ORIGINAL? You want me to give him credit? fine...give me a reason and i WILL. But there is not any. you are only pissed that I am NOT a fanboy like you and am not willing to give credit without reasons. You being UNABLE to just let this simple truth sink in shows how much of a fanboy YOU are. because if you would not be...you would just shut up. *Respond to your second point:* No...thats not a "point". it's stating the obvious...but it's still no POINT. wanna know why? Because you acted as if togashi is NOT ABLE to write a better story than naruto without going on hiatus all the time...and I just debunked that. You claimed that togashi has a, I quote: "Unfair advantage" and he factually has NOT. *Respond to your third point:* And? kishimoto got EVERY SINGLE STORY HE EVER WROTE turned down...even naruto was turned down before he used HxH as a template. And now he is unwilling to let go the one and only straw he has...naruto. If anything it shows how much of a shitty and overhyped manga ka he is :D It does not give validation to your point...it gives validation to MINE you idiot xD I can say that he is unable to come up with something original because he has PROVEN time and time again, that he simply IS. And why are you always bringing up togashis health issues? desperately searching for a argument or what :D? It has nothing to do with "being a good writer" to write a story that is LONG. It has nothing to do with "being a good writer" to be in good health EITHER, so why do you act as if it would be the case? oh...because you would not be able to bring up a single point otherwise...i forgot...sorry. quick debunking here: - Naruto maybe is LONG...but its story is SHIT. while YYH and HxH are praised everywhere (especially by other manga ka) for how exceptionally good the writing is...INCLUDING KISHIMOTO. A Example for a LONG story which is actually GOOD would be Jojo's bezarre adventure. Naruto is actually horribly written. - How has togashis health anything to do with your argumentation? You should just be lucky that kishimoto has no such healt issues...because i assure you...naruto would not EXIST if he would. while the manga world would be revolutionized by togashi if he would NOT have those health issues, because he simply is that good of a writer. and no...I don't need your "opinion" or complience about that...the fact that the actual pros and manga ka's themselves think so suffices. next :D *Respond to your fourth point:* And? Every manga ka in existance was in a situation like that. thats simply what their responsible employees do at shueisha :D And no...he was not FORCED. No manga ka in existance was ever FORCED to do anything. If you think that...it is obvious that you have no goddamn clue about how the manga production works. They are ADVISED to do certain changes...not FORCED. Doing exactly that is only kishimotos decision and on top of that stand two simple facts. Fact Nr.1: There is no way for you to know that those arcs would have been "better"...because they DON'T EXIST. And I highly doubt that the land of waves arc is more popular than the chunin exam arc. Your personal preference does not mean shit. Just because YOU like it better...does not mean it is overall the better arc or more popular in general. because...guess what...its not. and i even researched it. The chunin exam arc is stil in the top five of all arcs in ALL OF NARUTO (shippuuden included) by popularity :D The land of waves arc in not even CLOSE to that. Fact Nr.2: Being advised to do something different does not literally mean: "Hey...look at what Togashi did. You know...the guy who is so much more of a better writer than you and who you are even a fan of? that guy? Just copy his stuff. I FORCE you to!!" Give me evidence that kishimoto was FORCED to do a tournament arc with togashis work as a template and THEN and only then...you might have a point. but you won't find any evidence to that..because it never happened. he was ADVISED to do something different because the ADVISOR at shueisha thought that dragging on the story with meaningless missions for any longer would be BORING. Kishimoto himself willingly agreed to that...willingly chose a tournament arc as the next step AND willingly copied togashis work. 'nuff said. NEXT! *Respond to your last point:* uhm no...because togashi did greater arcs than ANYTHING kishimoto has EVER produced while NOT on hiatus :D need examples? - The dark tournament arc of YYH. way better than ANYTHING in the entirety of naruto. no hiatus - Chapter Black arc of YYH. also way better than anything in naruto...and was the direct follow up of the dark tournament arc. both written without any hiatus :'D You seem to have forgotten that YYH was also far better than naruto when you wrote your last point :D Done. Consider yourself destroyed because every single point I made was, again, valid and fact. while you could not help yourself but mumble stupid shit about your personal prefferences (whiche were not the topic) and other shit that had no value to the discussion. Togashi > Kishimoto Its simple as that. YYH > HxH > Naruto its simple as that You can like naruto all you want...but you will not change those simple facts. Have a nice day kid.

I think what makes Kurapika more likable is the fact that he doesn’t throw away his friends, and he very much accepts friendship. He sticks to a moral compass and can be reasoned with whenever he gets too worked up. Sasuke, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to give a shit about anyone other than his brother even when he does acknowledge a bond he possesses he’s still apathetic as to what happens to them. He’s tried to kill Naruto several times. Sasuke can’t be reasoned with, and he’s easily manipulated by his desire for vengeance.

I love both characters, but I’ve always preferred Sasuke. Probably mainly due to the fact that I grew up with Naruto as my first anime, and I’ve always loved his characterization and...”simply complicated” relationship with Naruto. I’ve also always understood Sasuke’s shift in goals after Itachi’s death in Shippuden. It always made complete sense to me and seemed like such a humanistic shift in nature given the traumatic nature of Itachi’s death and sacrifice. Similar to Anakin Skywalker’s descent into the dark side in Revenge of the Sith. However, Kurapika is an amazing character and quite honestly, the most well written character in the series alongside Meruem. I think I would love him even more if he got more screen time, or even became the central protagonist of the story. Kurapika has always been a more compelling character than Gon ever has been.

Honestly i feel like its not worth it, i started watching it like 2 years ago and I still have like 200 more episodes, I just find I'm not really enjoying it now and its more of a chore to watch it. Or maybe just watch part 1 and stop after the Pain arc of shippudden. There is alot of good aspects to it but alot of flaws and imo, wasted potential. But this may just be things that bother me personally like underdeveloped female characters and cool side characters that get pushed to the side.

Skip to the last sentence if you aren’t in the mood to read a paragraph abt the benefits of fanfiction. Read/watch enough through skipping around the series until you have a solid understanding of the characters, their traits, and the Naruto universe, pick a favorite character (or a character you think was pretty shitty but had potential to be well-written) and go find some quality fanfiction. Naruto has the most (and best imo) fanfiction for a reason. The series did a lot of things pretty badly, but it was solid enough that authors can build on it well, and it appeals to many age groups so it’s not hard to find stories written by actual adults who take the time to analyze and storybuild before writing something that’s actually really good. Or just read the manga if fanfiction isn’t ur thing.

@ajreyes12624 жыл бұрын
The thing that people love about Kurapika was he actually wants to take his revenge on SOMEONE who is ACTUALLY and LITERALLY RESPONSIBLE for his loss. Not by taking revenge on a whole village even with most of them never really know you or cared about you, and some of them actually spends almost 4 YEARS finding YOU and CARES about you and with the intention of only SAVING you. . And most importantly. . . Killing a friend just because you're JEALOUS and your EGO can't take it knowing someone is powerful than you are lol

I knew this was gonna happen as soon as clicked on this video I'm just gonna say. All of us are shounen fanboys and have our many flaws For instance. The HxH fanboys think they're better then everyone for watching something other then Naruto and Dragon Ball Naruto Fanboys are the cliche weeaboo. Dragon Ball fanboys will get mad if anyone can be claimed to beat Goku in any fight. One piece fanboys are just well stereotypical. Everyone has their opinions on each other we all find ourselves as stereotypes but unless your in the fandom and realize the show for what it truly is. We love these shows based on our interest so wether your not interested in something doesn't matter to each other. This may be irrelevant and my opinion may not be yours I'd just like people to stop saying one show is better then the other because each has their flaws. Claiming you've seen both anime and think one is better you haven't seen one in the way others have it resonated with them so claiming one if better then the other or one writer is better then the other is highly subjective with you clearly not resonating with the one your truly fighting against. Saying one is better then the other can't possibly be true or the other group won't debate. I myself am a Naruto Fan but I love both shows and won't one is better then the other because if I do the other community will have valuable claims debating my own.

1. I don't really see any one arguing about what is better so I don't really see the point of the comment. 2. this isn't hxh vs naruto but a comparison of sasuke and kurapika, there are plenty of naruto fans who hate sasuke (for some reason). And lastly, 3. saying something is better or worse isn't a subjective claim, but an objective one and if you don't want to make a fool out of yourself you'll back that claim up with facts, explanations and examples, because you're talking directly about the show itself and its quality. However if you say "I *like* naruto more than hxh" or "I prefer naruto over hxh" that is a subjective claim because you aren't talking about the show itself but your feelings about the show. This claim can also be backed up with examples and reasonings but since this is a subjective claim that is far less important than when making an objective claim.

Their overpowered eye-based abilities have a parallel, too- sacrifice. Kurapika uses nen restrictions to gain great power. The mangekyo sharingan also grants great power, but only if you kill your best friend. ...and you get extra power if your brother also kills his best friend, and then you implant his eyes.

Your analysis on Sasuke is missing a key point. His morals are complex. Most characters/people have a hero or at least someone they admire. As they grow older they refer to the way their heroes delt with their issues for a framework to deal with their own issues. So as they grow older, they become more like their heroes. Now with Sasuke it’s interesting. He doesn’t have any heroes. The only framework he has to filter his issues through is Itachi, but inverted. He hates Itachi so badly, he will do anything to not be like him. When he is given the opportunity to kill Naruto after their first big battle, he doesn’t. When training at the start of Shippuden, Orochimaru comments on why he doesn’t kill anyone. He refuses to kill anyone because that will make him more like Itachi. He filters all his decisions through Itachi, but inverted because he hates him. If Itachi likes vanilla ice cream, Sasuke hates it and so on. Now when Sasuke kills Itachi, he takes his first step into being like Itachi. He then learns Itachi was in fact the good guy and saved his life. As like most people who filter their decisions through hatred or to be the opposite of someone they hate, they slowly become more and more like that person. That person is still the only framework they have to filter their decisions making process through. So Sasuke’s decision to not go back to the leaf, join the Akatsuki then destroy the leaf makes perfect sense. He’s copying he’s idol Itachi. I’m sure you’ve all seen it before, a friend hating their parents to slowly become exactly like them. That’s what Sasuke does, he becomes more like Itachi, but not the real Itachi, the Itachi that he witnessed. Now Sasuke never knew Itachi was a double agent in the Akatsuki. He genuinely thought Itachi wanted to destroy the leaf after what happened to him. I’m guessing that Tobi didn’t know either, otherwise he probably would have bragged about knowing to Sasuke to increase his on reputation with Sasuke which would be in alignment with his goals to recruit Sasuke and in alignment with Toni’s arrogance and superiority complex. Or maybe he did know and really is a manipulative genius…. But I don’t think he did. Tobi never did explain why Itachi implanted the Amertersu in Sasuke’s eye beyond “he never wanted us to talk.” Hope that gives you something mull over! All the best ☺️!

The only people i see defending Sasuke are little kids with Naruto in their Avatar. I like Naruto(mostly because of Obito and Madara) but Kurapika is a better charecter than Sasuke in every single way. Sasuke started off as a great character in Naruto and they completely ruined him by the end. They made him so unlikable it's like they were trying to make you hate his character on purpose.

@@supersaiyangoddess4293 Okay here's a question for your dumbass: Do any of you really think that Sasuke could've beaten let alone be on par with Itachi if he stayed in Konoha? No way in hell. Just take a look at Naruto. Now, contrary to popular opinion, I think post-timeskip Naruto wasn't that weak. He just looked weak compared to Sasuke's exponential growth. The guy had a mission, and no one was going to get in the way of him achieving his mission. And if achieving his mission meant having to abandon his friends, then so be it. I for one couldn't be able to, but that just proves how immense Sasuke's determination is. And that alone is admirable. The guy went on a complete rampage. And understandably so. Finding out the place you've called home for so long actually used your brother as the instrument for your own family's demise can really take its toll on you. So as opposed of following the common shonen troupe of turning bad guys into good guys: Sasuke went the opposite direction: from protagonist to antagonist to temporary villain. I figured people would like that change up. I just don't know how you can hate this guy. He went from living only for the singular purpose of killing his brother, to experiencing what its like to become a victim of the shinobi world and now has vowed to 'destroy' it, and from the ashes, he will create a new world system. I just don't know how you can hate this guy. He went from living only for the singular purpose of killing his brother, to experiencing what its like to become a victim of the shinobi world.

(I'm kinda biased though because my biggest ship is sasunaru) But Sasuke has his reasons, and also when he wants to take down the leaf alot of people call him arrogant brat, but hear me out this mans has been through hell and back to get revenge on Itachi, to just then get told everything was a lie, he is legit physiologically going crazy, sooooo you can't really hate him when he is legit sick, until Naruto saves him.

Another condition for Kurapika's Emperor Time ability that has been revealed in the Dark Continent arc, is that for every second he has it active he loses one hour of his life, further highlighting the extremes he will go to to fulfill his goals. Yes, Sasuke sacrifices stuff (abandoning his friends and home, the blindness due to his use of the sharingan eyes), but in the end there are no huge lasting effects of Sasuke's choices that make you go "holy shit". He got a transplant for his eyes, and was welcomed back to Konoha by Naruto. None of the lasting consequences and sacrifices that Kurapika has which makes Kurapika infinitely more interesting and relatable to me. Sasuke feels so alien at certain points in the story. I guess it's just a testament to the differences in the writers abilities...
