I'm also going by general fan's on the net, it seems as though Itachi, Deidera and Tobi are seem more popular. Sure you have Naruto, sasuke and sakura as the series starts, but they get replaced as the series goes on...
Also, the other Akatsuki members were killed off before really doing much. Sasori wasn't around for much, the two immortals didn't really achieve much at all... |

Sasori could've captured Gaara with little effort. He has the frickin' Sandaime Kazekage, who was stronger than Gaara and has basically the same moveset. Plus all of his other shit. Deidara didn't beat Team Gai and Team Kakashi, he just escaped with a fake-suicide maneuver. Deidara didn't capture the Sanbi, Tobi did. We see Deidara attack it ONCE, but Tobi claims to be the one to ahve delivered the final blow (this may or may not be true, but it was his assignment so he MUST have done most of the work). Deidara developed his Sharingan counter BEFORE he fought Sasuke, kinda why he covered his left eye with that thing. And anyway, the C4 COULDN'T enter Sasori's body, because, you know what? HE'S A PUPPET. He doesn't breathe. And anyway, he can switch bodies, and again, HE CAN FLY, so he can fly up above the C4 cloud like Deidara does and get out of range, then take Deidara's head off with his poisoned stomach cable or start firing away with his flamethrowers. Or the poison gas. Or the poison needles. Or the Satetsu. Face it, Sasori is still a fair bit stronger. Sasori>Sasuke=Deidara>Orochimaru

He IS Hitokugutsu, but it was said that he turned everything EXCEPT his heart artificial. Meaning he doesn't have lungs, meaning he doesn't breathe, meaning he can't take in the C4. Ever noticed that Sasori never panted in any of the panels during his fight?
And, again, he can fly, so he can avoid the C4. Sasori>Deidara. Stated, proven.

I think I've never ever read a character poll and was like "Wow, that's exactly what I think and my favourite character made the first place, yey!" My usual reaction goes more like "wtf...why?!".
And thats kinda logical, seeing that the fans who vote for a character in Japan are normally teenage boys and teenage boys just tend to support the main/coolest/strongest character. As in most of the shounen mangas the main male protagonist fits this description,he usually lands the first place. Now in the case of Naruto, Sasuke is the "coolest" (and frankly most present) character as he is strong as hell, handsome, arrogant, very popular with the girls, an avenger and whatnot. Consequently most male teenagers and the majority of fan-chicks fall and therefore vote for him - predictable. That doesn't make him cool in my eyes but well, seems to be sufficient for Nishimura to further power up the character... It's kinda sad that right now the Manga is at a point where no character is really ineresting. Deidara will be dead, soon. Itachi was and remains boring, Suigetsu and co are downright shallow, same goes for Sai and the like. Kabuchimaru's just the living proof for Orochimaru's defeat and Naruto, Sakura and gang didn't develop one inch, still out there to get icky Sasuke back. The only hope left is that Tobi's story will kick ass and that AL's identity will make us all gasp in a"omfg I would never ever have expected THAT holy shit, that's awesome Oô" way. But I doubt it.

Itachi is ANYTHING but boring.
We still haven't seen any of his last-resort major techniques, or any other amazing tricks (besides Utakata, Tsukuyomi, and Amaterasu; Bunshin Bakuha was effing sweet, too, as was Magen: Kyouten Chiten). On top of that...he's an enigma. Why did he kill his own family? How did he discover Mangekyou Sharingan? How is he linked to this mysterious "third user"? What is the Uchiha family secret, and why did Sasuke "get it" when he read that scroll? Why is the Hyuuga clan symbol in that secret room, on the walls with the images of Tengu? JUST HOW EFFING POWERFUL IS ITACHI?!?!?!?!?! There's so much surrounding Itachi, it's mind-boggling. He is definitely one of, if not the most deep, complex characters in the series. On top of that, he's effing awesome. Single-handedly butchering the strongest clan in Konoha, mastering the Mangekyou Sharingan, raping Orochimaru (a Sannin) at age 13 and scaring him off, being the one person in all of Akatsuki assigned to the FREAKING KYUUBI... Itachi's so awesome, the name of the series might as well be changed to "Itachi"...

And, no Sasori can't fly, so he's pretty much screwed. Deidara (Rescue Gaara arc, if he was prepared) > Sasori > Deidara (Rescue Gaara arc, unprepared) That was before & this is now Deidara (Current arc) > Deidara (Rescue Gaara arc, if he was prepared) > Sasori > Deidara (Rescue Gaara, unprepared) |

He really isn't that deep... the guy is just powa hungry (yes, I intentionally spelt it that way). He killed the clan to see how strong he is, he joined up with a group of strong people and fights against the strongest demon's and bounty hunters... nothing much too deep about him.
The only thing mysterious about him is, how are they going to kill him now that they keep raising him to some fucked up god like level. Unless they create mangekyou repelant sunglasses, or fight in complete dark, when they defeat him, it's going to look rediculously pathetic. |

Yes, Sasori can fly. His puppets can fly. Sandaime Kazekage has effing wings. No reason why he couldn't hop on, or lift himself out of harm's way with the Satetsu. What?! That's bullshit. Deidara said Sasori was stronger. Period. It was as clear and concise a statement as Oro saying Itachi was stronger. And, again, Deidara called him "Master Sasori", and he was Sasori's bitch. Sasori was definitely stronger. And he still is. Sandaime Kazekage plus a hundred puppets plus Hiruko, a low Kage-level puppet, and himself, Sannin level even without other puppets. There's no way Deidara can beat that. Sasori>Deidara (period).

So far Itachi's been one of the most boring characters. Why?
1. He next to never talks Oô there's like no reaction, ever. 2. There was not ONE single cool fight with him. He basically just stood around every time. Even the Kakashi-stabbing thing was static. 3. why did he kill the family? I don't give a f*ck. My guess is that it really was for the lolz and ability thing. Woot. 4. Mangekyou Sharingan is overrated. He's going blind, how often will he be able to use it? 5. Why the Hyuuga symbol? The Sharingan derived from Byakugan. All the rest, yeah mindly interesting but not really linked to Itachi, more to Sasuke, right? Itachi's not important, Sasuke is. Itachi was needed to give Sasuke a direction and the urge to become more powerful. And that's why Itachi needed to be so strong, a weak person wouldn't have done the trick.

Itachi owns everything by such a massive amount of awesomeness that it's understandable if you can't comprehend it.
Even Naruto acknowledges it O_o ![]()

1. That's because he hasn't found it worth his time. That's how much better he is than everyone else. Although, he reacted quite a damned bit when Kakashi asked him how bad his eyesight had become. 2. That small scene where he ass-raped Sasuke with overwhelming Taijutsu was nice, as was his Sharingan trick in that flashback. Also, his fight with Team Kakashi was cool. Mind-raping Naruto FTW. 3. How can you not give a fuck? It's basically the root of everything in the series. There's no way it was just to test his power. Same thing with leaving Sasuke alive and telling him about Mangekyou Sharingan. I think there's a deeper meaning, and I think that it's possible that the mysterious "third user" is pulling Itachi's strings from the shadows. I personally like the theory that the third user is planning to break a seal that requires the simultaneous use of the three Mangekyou techniques (Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Susano'o) to release something/someone. Perhaps a new villain after Akatsuki falls? *gasp* Although, on second thought, when Akatsuki DOES fall, the manga should die (since it would basically be dead anyway). 4. Overrated nothing. Blind or not, having Mangekyou Sharingan instantly makes you better than everyone else. 5. I know that, but what's the deal with having it around the Tengu? What's that mean? And HOW did Sharingan come from Byakugan? My guess is that the Kyuubi has something to do with it. That would explain the Uchiha Katon abilities and the Kyuubi-suppression powers, as well as the Kyuubi itself knowing "a certain 'Uchiha Madara'". Itachi is WAY more significant than what you're saying. You'll see.

Hell yeah, if Naruto says so! Naruto's never been wrong, Itachi must be awesome.
Oô ... Oh wait....no. He's still boring. EDIT: @Nikushimi: spare me, a new villain after Akatsuki. *Gasp* no! Bad guys in Naruto die in an instance, no matter how bad-ass they might be, didn't you know?! Itachi will die, that's for sure. And the way the Manga goes right now, the whole story behind the Uchicha will be told within a planel and end with Sasuke saying : "Yeah, I knew all along...btw my eyes can see the color of chakra, BAM your dead MF!!!!"
