1. I never took it as Itachi believed the whole clan needed to be killed for plotting against the leaf, I took it as, you have to kill the known traitors, and when you do that you can’t leave the others alive because they might start a war for revenge, or become a bigger threat later if the generations are allowed to live with that resentment.

   He was young when he killed them, so he obviously thought in absolutes, but he was also getting pressure from all the older people manipulating to kill everyone, it wasn’t just his idea, it was his order, he just obeyed.

   Also the writer was absolutely trying to show how insane war is, how brutal, how it reverberates in uncontrollable ways, and how much it takes to repair the terrible choices of war. You guys haven’t even begun to dive into how deeply this is gonna reverberate and, as with all wars, the deeper secrets that none of the pawns even know.

   Also, Sasuke is again, a child, forged from blood and has lived so long in pain and revenge, he can’t just stop here, he has so much pain left within him, he needs to focus it, and so he’s reflecting it onto everyone, as many young people in wartime do.

2. I didnt cry :^)

3. Eric how is it unrealistic for them to kill everyone? The country you live in dropped two nukes on japan that took the lives of innocent and guilty alike, obviously not everyone in the uchiha clan was plotting a coup(ex: Itachi’s mom) but people in leadership created these problems that lead to what happens in this show and in our world, Madara also never said all the Uchiha were plotting a coup don’t know where you got that from, you’ll learn more about this stuff in great detail so i won’t go any further. Enjoyed the reaction btw excellent as usual.

4. I’m actually glad you guys aren’t reactors that immediately side with itachi and villify sasuke for “choosing” His own path and not immediately what itachi wanted him to do

5. I think the best way for you guys to understand itachi is this quote.
   “So tell me where should I go?
   To the left where nothing is right,
   Or to to the right where nothing is left…”

6. What do you guys think of the Eren vs Itachi comparison? Killing your family for the sake of the world vs killing the world for the sake of your family.

7. New eyes in the last shot guys! He did awaken the Mangekyou. Editor, do your thing and let’em know pls

8. There’s a novel that goes into itachi’s lover backstory (don’t remember if it was animated in shippuden)

9. Itachi was 13 when he killed the clan.

10. I for one have always felt Sasukes reaction to destroy the Leaf is more than justified. To go your whole life, believing Itachi had done everything in selfishness for power, only to find out he was put up to it by the villages leaders. One of them, The Third, even ending up as his ward in a way. How could he learn something so awful was plotted by the people he was taught to trust and admire, and not feel there must be something done to rectify the gross abuse of power by the Village leaders. Extreme as it may be, Sasuke is justified in his anger.

    1. I feel the same. I think people tend to forget that Sasuke is still super young, only 16 or 17 at the moment. Children don’t even make good decisions at their best, and Sasuke is far from emotionally stable right now. He’s had extreme emotional and social problems since he was very young (due to his entire clan being MASSACRED by the person he loved most in the world), which made him grow up to be cold and distant from everybody. To add on, he feels like he just completed his life’s mission by murdering his own brother, now to be told that everything he knew was a lie, and that his horrible, monstrous, and irredeemable brother was forced into an impossible situation at 13 by the people who he was taught were their absolute protectors and authority figures. He’s extremely unstable at this point and doesn’t know where to funnel his anger to, so he understandably defaults to blaming the people who turned his amazing and perfect older brother into a demon. I completely understand how someone like Sasuke would come to that conclusion. An emotionally unstable child soldier who just killed the person he loved most would not typically make the best decisions. This was one of Kishimoto’s best character writing moments in the entire series, and I love talking about it.

11. Oh man I can’t wait until next week!

12. itachi was 13 when he killed his clan and 21 when he died at the hands of sasuke
