SNS Dynamics - Sasuke's Perspective

Lengthy post ahead

On completing my rewatch of Naruto part I and part II, many things which never made sense started to make sense. One among them is the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke. I used to ask why Naruto is going so far for Sasuke. And why Sasuke is helping out Naruto even though he wants to kill him. And I used to think that Episode 478 was retconned to make the final battle ends in a draw and Sasuke somehow made to reconcile with the titular character. Yet, I instinctively felt, ‘Something is very different about them’. But on careful rewatch, all the clues which consolidate their relationship was there. The way they love each other is totally on a different level and the creator very carefully planned this from the beginning of the Manga.

Though I really don’t like the ending for making every characters into a child rearing machine at an age of 20 to make way for an abomination called ‘Boruto’, I still loved everything till Episode 479.

I wanted to discuss about both Naruto and Sasuke’s perspective. But that cannot be accommodated in a single post. So, I decided to start with Sasuke. Since Naruto’s side of SNS is very open and vocal, we clearly knew what is going on in his mind. But Sasuke’s side is usually very subtle but much more intense than Naruto which makes it worth analyzing.

Sasuke in GO!!! (OP4)

some naruto opening/ending staples:

legitimately one of my favorite scenes in the anime is when everyone, even naruto, is so demoralized and ready to give up and let the divine tree have its way with the world. sasuke taunts naruto back into action, lighting the fire of his resolve and leads to naruto's idea of encouraging them, which is to share his feelings about sasuke across the whole shinobi allied force.

everyone on the battlefield, getting a first class seat in naruto's mind and heart:

You know what lives rent-free in my head forever? That one Naruto ED where they’re all posed like it’s a group fashion shoot at the end. I am obsessed with the staging choices here. DRAMA!! ART!! WHO DIRECTED THIS, I LOVE IT
