Line 98:
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}: {{spoiler|Not actually his defeating of both Sasuke and Orochimaru back to back, but his using his last seconds of life to put a defense against Madara in Sasuke}}.
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|By Sasuke}} who went from loathing him to protecting his legacy (albeit in a completely opposite way of what Itachi wished) in the matter of a night. Ditto with the Fandom. It helps that he was popular before [[The Reveal]].
* [[Evil Eye]]: The [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|Sharingan]] and then later the Magenkyou Sharingan. They grant the following abilities:
** [[Aura Vision]]
** [[Combat Clairvoyance]]
Line 117:
* [[The Gift]]: Obviously. He graduates from the Academy at age 7, masters the Sharingan at 8, becomes Chuunin at 10, joins the ANBU at 13, besides already being an S-ranked criminal and one of the strongest members of Akatsuki, who thinks this guy is ''normal''?
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Very powerful, but suffers from an extreme lack of stamina and defensive power.
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]}}: {{spoiler|"''Sorry, Sasuke. [[Tear Jerker|There won't be a next time]]''"}} .
* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Good Is Not Nice]]}}
Line 124:
* {{spoiler|[[Happiness in Slavery]]}}: The ultimate fate he prepared for Sasuke though {{spoiler|he couldn't implement it. He had to use Shisui's eye in himself after Kabuto Edo tensei}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: A variant in that he {{spoiler|was an [[Anti-Villain]] all along. He was definitely still wrong, though, and admits it to Naruto later}}.
* [[Hero -Killer]]
* {{spoiler|[[Hero With an F In Good]]: Between his [[Mind Rape|Mind Rapes]] of Sasuke and Kakashi, general brutality, and a pretty serious lack of social skills, Itachi ''sucks'' at being the good guy}}.
** {{spoiler|His grade is slowly rising now that he's resurrected and able to actually ''openly'' be a good guy. We've seen him do nothing but [[Big Brother Mentor|give Naruto encouragement and advice]], [[Big Damn Heroes|take down Nagato]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|with Naruto and Bee's help]], [[Sibling Team|possibly put an end to Sasuke's crazy plans]], (presumably, as of 586) defeat Kabuto, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|crack a few surprisingly hilarious jokes]].}}
Line 144:
* {{spoiler|[[Morality Chain]]:}} {{spoiler|Itachi's existence notably keeps Sasuke's sanity anchored to this world. Back when Itachi was alive, Sasuke may have been angsty, but not insane. After he killed Itachi was when he began to lose it, but, now that Itachi is..."alive" again, Sasuke is acting far more sane than he has in 100 chapters.}}
** {{spoiler|And now that he realizes that Itachi is about to go back to being dead (as a result of ending the [[Necromancer|technique that revived him]]), he's right back to talking about destroying Konoha...}}
* {{spoiler|[[My Country, Right or Wrong]]:}} {{spoiler|"The village does have its dark side and inconsistencies. But I'm still the Leaf's Itachi Uchiha."}}
* {{spoiler|[[Necessarily Evil]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV]] of how much "necessary" his evil acts where. He certainly viewed himself this way, though, and hated himself for it. Then, after his resurrection, he realizes how horribly wrong he was}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]}}: All of his actions seemed to {{spoiler|have been aimed at making Sasuke realize that the village is more important than his family's pride}}. He couldn't have failed more if he had done it on purpose. He at least accepted the possibility of failure and left {{spoiler|Naruto, [[The Reveal|Shisui's other eye]], as a safeguard, only for ''that'' to fail, too.}}.
Line 156:
* [[Quick Draw]]: Shuriken flavor. Capable of throwing dozens of thousands of Shuriken with perfect accuracy in milliseconds without any effort.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Implemented a [[Villainous Breakdown|really]] {{spoiler|fake}} one during his fight against Sasuke.
* [[Self -Made Orphan]]
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: After the Third Ninja War. ''At four years old''.
** Although he is said to have witnessed it, not taken part in it. It's already horrible enough.
Line 182:
** Subverted later. Not with the Land of Fire but {{spoiler|he deemed Sasuke free will as an acceptable sacrifice}}.
* {{spoiler|[[War Is Hell]]: His real motivation for killing off his clan. They were on the verge of starting a civil war (that would likely lead to a world war) and he was unable to convince them to call it off.}}
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler|Yes and no, depending on which "it" is being referred to. The insane, unrepentant murderer we first meet? Yeah, that's a huge lie. As for the loving (if extreme) brother Sasuke remembers? No, it wasn't}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In chapter 576 {{spoiler|Sasuke tries to do this to him, trying to understand why his brother left him alive. Due to Itachi both being in a hurry to stop Kabuto and feeling he's messed Sasuke up too much already, Itachi keeps shutting Sasuke down with curt yet vauge replies. He does at least confess that he wanted Sasuke to kill him so he could find redemption for the clan, but massive miscommunication still seems to be these two's standard.}}
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: Subverted. He couldn't fight Sasuke at full force for two reasons: {{spoiler|1) he didn't want to ; 2) he was terminally ill}}. And still, even [[The Worf Barrage|Kirin]] couldn't give Sasuke the upper hand in the fight.
Line 307:
** He also wanted to use his most powerful techniques on Itachi and Sasuke, only because he hated the [[Superpower Lottery|Sharingan]].
* [[Screaming Warrior]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: To Japanese artist [[wikipedia:Tar%C5%8D Okamoto|Tarô Okamoto]]. Deidara's [[Catch Phrase]] is a quote, while his ultimate explosion has the shape of Okamoto's [[wikipedia:Tower of the Sun|Tower of the Sun]].
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Does occasionally happen.
* [[Taking You With Me]]: Attempted on Sasuke, but it didn't work.
Line 342:
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Suggested to some degree that the death of his parents and his attempting to replace them with puppets caused him to turn evil, but Chiyo suggests that the Sand Village teachings caused it.
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]: After his defeat by Kankuro}}
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Believes that by becoming a puppet one can attain eternal life, and has some fairly twisted views on human life.
* [[In-Series Nickname]] / [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Akasuna no Sasori (Sasori of the Red Sand/Scorpion of the Red Sand).
Line 395:
** {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Tobi and Kabuto form one during the Fourth World War. Kabuto forced Tobi into the alliance by blackmailing him with Madara Uchiha's body, but now that he's blown Tobi's cover he's lost his hold over him.}}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: {{spoiler|[[Ask a Stupid Question|"I didn't unleash the Nine-Tails on Konoha]], [[Sarcasm Mode|it was a natural disaster."]] }}
** Averted with {{spoiler|him not actually being Madara.}} The lie was anything but blatant, with {{spoiler|several characters, splash pages, and anime credits all calling him Madara}}, causing everyone, including most fans, [[Wham! Episode|to be more than baffled when they find out]].
* [[Chain Pain]]:Used a pair of chains on his wrists in his fight with {{spoiler|Minato}} which combined with his intangibility to be pretty deadly.
* [[The Chessmaster]]
Line 402:
** It makes sense if you remember that the Kyuubi has to be sealed last, or else the Gedo Mazen will break, releasing all the stored tailed beasts. Too many things could go wrong if he tries to secure Naruto without capturing Killer Bee first.
* {{spoiler|[[The Corrupter]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Person Impersonation]]: Whoever he is, he's [[Wham! Episode|NOT the original Madara Uchiha.]]}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He has a tendency to make blunt, rude, and disrespectful comments to everyone around him.
* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|Even if he isn't Madara, you can't deny that he is extremely patient. He seems very old and to have been in the game for a very long time}}.
Line 463:
* [[Spanner in The Works]]: [[Running Gag|Its like cocaine to him]]. Massively screws up Itachi's postmortem plans for Sasuke by telling him [[Awful Truth|things]] he was [[Go Mad From the Revelation|probably better off not knowing]].
* [[Space Master]]
* {{spoiler|[[Shout -Out]]}}: {{spoiler|His newest mask is similar to Friend from [[Twentieth Century Boys]]}}.
* [[Super Strength]]: He snapped an arm off of its shoulder ''with just the grip of his fingers'', and blocked a giant ass sword ''with his forearm''.
* [[Teleportation]]: He can teleport himself anywhere he wants, and can teleport others into an alternate dimension that seems to exist within his Sharingan.
Line 580:
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: He's been around since the First Hokage, {{spoiler|he's even older than Madara the true [[Big Bad]] before he died.}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: When Hidan warns him that killing a priest is a one-way ticket to hell, he simply replies with "Even hell runs on money, I'd be just fine."
* [[Shout -Out Theme Naming]]: All of his unique techniques are named (and pronounced very similarly in Japanese) after ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' mecha used by Zeon in the One Year War, with meaningful kanji replacing the phonetic characters. (e.g. MSN-02 Zeong -> Jiongu -> Earth Grudge Fear; this is Kakuzu's forbidden "body of threads" technique, and the Zeong was a mobile suit that could detach its arms on wires for ranged attacks.) Complete list: Jiongu, Domu, Zukokku, Atsugai, Gian = Zeong, Dom, Z'Gok, Acguy, Gyan
* [[Soul Jar]]: He can't die unless all of his collected hearts are destroyed.
* [[Super Strength]]: Even by Naruto standards.
Line 618:
** {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]}} / {{spoiler|[[Tragic Villain]]}}
** {{spoiler|[[He Who Fights Monsters]]}}
*** {{spoiler|1=[[Angst]]/[[Break the Cutie]]: [[Game -Breaking Injury|His]] [[Despair Event Horizon|entire]] [[And Your Little Dog, Too|backstory]].}}
*** {{spoiler|[[Cosmic Plaything]]}}: {{spoiler|It's what ultimately broke him}}.
*** {{spoiler|[[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]}}: {{spoiler|This is a man who's only desire in life was a world of peace and compassion, and he struggled to make life better for everyone. Fate's response was to destroy everything he held dear in the [[Break the Cutie|cruelest possible way]], thus causing his [[Start of Darkness]]}}.
Line 641:
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Edo Tensei gave him his wish- he got to fight Naruto again after Naruto had mastered the Nine Tails' Chakra. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|And it was epic.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cast From Lifespan]]}}: {{spoiler|The Rinnegan's more powerful techniques}}.
* [[Combo -Platter Powers]]: The Rinnegan's powers are basically a mish-mash of various powers that are all [[Game Breaker|Game Breakers]] in their own right.
** [[Aura Vision]]: He can see chakra in a manner similar to the Byakugan.
** [[Elemental Powers]]: He can use all five, but unlike Kakuzu it comes naturally.
Line 688:
** [[The Brute]]: Asura and Preta Paths
** [[Dark Chick]]: Human Path.
* {{spoiler|[[Freak -Out]]}}: {{spoiler|Nagato after Yahiko's death}}
* [[Glass Cannon]]: For all the Rinnegan's powers, Pain is just as vulnerable as a normal human. Good luck actually hitting him though.
* [[Gonk]]: The Asura Path.
* {{spoiler|[[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Nagato}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hero -Killer]]}}: {{spoiler|Killed Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Shizune, and nearly killed Hinata and Choza. Then he brought them all back to life, except for Jiraiya}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Hollywood Cyborg]]}}: {{spoiler|Asura Path}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Ill Girl|Ill Guy]]}}
Line 720:
* {{spoiler|[[Squishy Wizard]]}}: {{spoiler|For all the power the Rinnegan gives him, with his horribly mangled legs he's not going anywhere unaided}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Start of Darkness]]}}: {{spoiler|See [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]}}.
* [[Story -Breaker Power]]: There's a reason fans accuse him of being a [[God Mode Sue]]: His Rinnegan gives him ridiculous amounts of chakra that rivals the Nine-Tails, a virtually unlimited number of summons, and the ability to use all five elements (in addition to another two), {{spoiler|level entire cities, create miniature moons, read minds, rip souls from peoples' bodies, and ''revive the dead''}}.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Of all the superpower lotteries in ''Naruto'', Pain hit the absolute jackpot.
* {{spoiler|[[Too Powerful to Live]]}}
Line 774:
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: To Yahiko if Chapter 511 is any indicator.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Her powers are nullified by oil.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Her paper abilities.
** {{spoiler|[[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]:}} Her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] {{spoiler|despite it being a failure}}.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Known as "Blue" prior to actually being given a name. More like light purple in the anime.
