Re: Naruto 401 Predictions and Discussion
Essentially, Sasuke didn't have to overcome his problems. Oh no, circumstance took care of that for him. Sasuke's entire personality was based on events that never transpired, and thereby everything that took place as a result of his identity. Kishimito put a lot of work into establishing themes in different characters individual responses to circumstance, yet the circumstances behind characters of greatest importance to the series were just big misdirections. It feels empty now. The tension in Naruto and Sasuke's conflict doesn't reach a boiling point, it gets stretched thin and fizzles out. AND HUNDREDS OF CHAPTERS WERE DEVOTED TO THAT FIZZLE. It literally dissolved in conversation.
