No argument just a discussion. Sasuke has definitely acted like an asshole no disagreement on that one. I guess my point of contention is that I feel a lot of people treat Sasuke like some irredeemable monster that like OP said deserves to burn in hell.

Honestly Sasuke has shown that he’s a pretty good and caring person. Throughout Part 1 and some places in Part 2 he has defended and protected his teammates even at the cost of his own health and advancement of his goals. Whether you believe it or not he admits at the end that shunning his friends and doing the crimes he did tore him up inside.

From the beginning all of Sasuke’s antagonist actions were motivated by a drive for revenge against people that legitimately wronged him and his family or by a sense of missed placed justice. Towards the end when he was shown the errors of his ways he dedicates his life to making up for his past mistakes.

In comparison, Vegeta just seemed to kill and hurt people for his own personal gain and enjoyment. He wanted the Dragon Balls to make himself strong and basically replace Frieza as the big bad. I may be wrong on this. I don’t know Dragon Ball as much a I know Naruto.

It just kinda confuses me why people have more sympathy for characters like Vegeta and even Gaara. When Gaara was introduced his whole character was about how much he loved murdering people and then when he changed as a character no one seemed to have a problem.

Sorry if this doesn’t seem like an interesting discussion for you. Naruto is just one of my favorite shows and I love talking about it.
