Nah, you can't overrate his character. You can in a poll of whom do people like the best, but that's opinion based, so it's just what it is - an opinion on which character you like the best.
If he has the biggest fanbase, it just means that he is more likable then other characters.
Not for me, but obviously for most people.
I don't like Sasuke at all. He is the reason my favorite character is dead (Itachi). He is cocky, and overconfident. His goals are childish, and his heart is darkened.
Still, one can't deny his battle prowess.
Your post is still good.

Heh.
I don't see any proof, just some ignorant flaming, and illogical ramblings of an angry person.
Grow up, and show me where did you see Chidori Sword. Kirin. Chidori Senbon. Chidori Nagashi. Shuriken Summoning.

So, where did I say it? I didn't see you post it or quote me. Again, just childish behavior, trying to be cool.

Hahah, you really make me laugh.
Your second sentence sounds like you said BLASPHEMY, and you say I have no proof, whereas you have absolutely no proof at all. Laughable, as you would say. Logically, me > you.

Again, childish attempts to flame. Grow up.
Mythology has nothing to do with Naruto. It has a lot of same names, some interesting stuff like Kyuubi, but nothing links everything in the manga with mythology.
I am not the only one assuming things. In fact, you are assuming more then I do. I assume based on manga facts, you on your mythology.

And that is? Again, no argument.

Do you know what fanboyism is? Do you know that Sasuke is far from my favorite character? In fact, I hate him as a character.
Now, do you know that you are just a "simpleton" as you said, who cannot read what other people wrote?

Why?

Because you cannot overrate his character. And in your first sentence of this quote, you said that you never questioned his skills.
So what the fuck did you question?

Funny guy.

The problem is that Sasuke has been built up as this all powerful ninja. That he is /the/ ninja that Naruto has to become better than. Even if he retains all of his power by the end of the Manga, I suspect he'll be blind if he isn't dead by then, a defeat will make him seem overrated simply from the way his God like abilities have been described. Sasuke has been built up for a fall from the offset there was never going to be any other conclusion for his character.

I do hate him as a character. Despite the way he's depicted as cool, he's always been the most childish character. Even now he can't understand his brother's sacrifice or his reasoning and he can't even begin to start a journey of redemption until he realises that. Not that I'd ever like him anyway he's a tard.

Yes, that is true. But you have to see other sides as well.
You say that his defeat will make him seem overrated. Then what about Pain? What about so called God? He is hyped as a character who never lost a battle, and killed someone who defeated all 3 of the Sannins. Not to mention, he has the strongest of the Doujutsu's.
What about Madara? His hype isn't that big, because there was a battle he lost, but he was still said to posses EMS, is immortal and has better space/time jutsu then Yondaime had.

I know, it isn't the same because they are the "villains" and Sasuke is just one of the main characters, but that's the very reason why he is hyped. As a wall Naruto must overcome.
People cry because Sasuke is strong, but every one of them knows that Naruto will defeat him if they ever fight again. I don't understand what the commotion is all about. That's why I said complaining about Sasuke's powers is stupid.

Now, his character is something else. But this isn't the thread for that, as I said.

I thought I was going to have a discussion but instead I'm left with name calling, being told I'm childish, angry and that I have no argument. It's like dealing with a modern day Sasuke is'nt it? Actually its worse because it lacks the intelligence.

I asked for annotations and to be provide adequate examples. There is no argument here. Only the blathering of a venomous dolt. Disagree all you want, but Sasuke still stands by popular opinion as the most over hyped character. For very good reasons I might add.

Name calling, really?
I wonder how many times you told me I was a fool in your last post. Read it yourself.
And if I lack intelligence, you wouldn't have stopped the debate.
I said you were childish because you called me a fool, and you gave no proof whatsoever for your assumptions which were based on mythology, not manga facts. Ridiculous isn't it?

There is where we disagree. Go. Read comments of Minato fans. Go go go.

The inadequacy in everything Sasuke does stems from his very character which reflects both the emotional and the physical. The point that many people have attempted to make.

Your argument that Pain is over hyped is stretching your argument to ludicrious levels. Pain? You know, that guy who toppled a nation and has never lost a battle. The guy who dropped a bomb on Konoha and without Naruto's back-up would have completely succeeded in destroying it. I'm suddently reminded of when you so brashly knocked everyone for not understanding the definition of overrated. We do no need to be provided the visual que's to know its all true.

Complaining about Sasukes is stupid. There you go again. Using your same logic I'll say this then. People who complain about complainers are stupid. LOL. Not much of an argument.

lol
wow alot of people think sasuke is overrated
he annoys me an all now but you can't deny his skills are great

overrated: certain people we see too much of but we don't see them do anything really amazing so i can't really choose =\

underrated: hinata, shino and kiba imo, its a shame we don't really see them, but they have unique abilites which make them a great team, and even by themselves

FantasticFoxkins

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the other side. Do you mean how Sasuke fans view it?

As a Naruto fan I have to say that it is annoying to be continually beat about the head with Sasuke's brilliance. Since his first appearance in the manga he's been twenty million steps ahead of Naruto. Sure it's eventual goal of the manga for Naruto to climb that wall but at times the Manga has focused on Sasuke too much. Itachi was considered the most powerful ninja before Sasuke defeated him yet he wasn't bigged up the way he should have been. Sasuke is /a/ main character but he's not /the/ main character. I wouldn't mind all that so much but couple with his obnoxious personality it's enough for me to want a big fat toad to drop on his head.

LOL! But it is true I'm affraid to say. You MUST be a fool if you can not comprehend what so many have presented to you. I'm beginning to think now theres also a level of ignorance mixed in that brew of yours as well. I do not act as a child as you claim. I countered your argument as gracefully as you failed to support your own.

Your argument was that Sasuke MUST have develped everything on his own (even though we were never shown) WHILE training with Orochimaru. I'll put this on terms you enjoy using. You = fool. I provided probable cause and assumptions. Your provisions = nothing.

cmon now, we never saw what did oro teach sasuke and what sasuke invented.
but since chidori is invented by kakashi, it means kakashi was the only one to use it, then kakashi taught sasuke, meaning sasuke and kakashi were the only ones that use it

then we see sasuke can shape shift chidori after the time skip, how could have oro taught him that when oro doesent understand chidori, maybe i am underestimating oro but i dont think oro knew that technique

I would add a couple things. One, Sasuke was allowed the victory by Itchi himself. Not that I'm saying Itachi was not trying but he intended to lose. Two, we need to remember that Itachi (and I'll throw Kakashi into the mix) both accomplished feats WAY before Sasuke ever did. Kakashi supposedly graduated the Chuunin exams at age 6 and Itachi was something similar if I recall but I dont remember the exact age. Besides the point, look at how long it took Sasuke. He's talented, but for whatever reasons, he dislikes anyone who poses a potential adversarial threat. It seemed clearly stated that if he felt someone was stronger than he, then that person stood in the way of both him and his revenge against his brother. It was all treated as a ladder system to eventually battle Itachi.

It's this nature of his that leads so many people both dislike and like him. But that repulsive nature is also what made him think himself better than others.

Well thats true to an extent and a good point. My thoughts are that any element manipulation Oro would have understood. Jiraiya had a clear understanding of it. To assume that Oro did not would be a mistake. So we can believe then that Oro said something to the effect of "Here, I shape change my own techniques, here is how you can shape change your own to something effective". This probably happened the way I mentioned, because I seriously doubt Sasuke is Newtownian and figured out a whole branch of shape changing concepts entirely on his own.

Either way we do not know for sure. All we're left with is that Sasuke trained with Oro because he felt he could not have achieved this in Konoha. Why not? Because he had to be taught.

After reading and seeing this splash throughout this topic I must say that I hate Sasuke's publicity with a passion but his skills are some of the strongest and most original in the manga. His skills in maipulation are probably some of the most unmatched cause he used chidori manipulation that Kakashi wasn't even shown to use until Pain came through and starting trashing Konoha. His ability to use Chidori through his sword to numb the abilities of others to use chakra to form jutsu is as top notch as Neji's tripalm attacks. His major Kirin attack is vicious and outside the manga most of the time Sasuke has been shown in anime he's been training by himself. I think his curse seal training was what Oro probably worked with him on but no one has ever seen Oro truly train a person, he more just motivates them with mindgames and trickery cause he doesn't want someone to surpass his knowledge of jutsu.

And perceiving that Kakashi worked with Naruto on developing and learning his own jutsu I'm sure that Kakashi worked with training Sasuke on that first when he was readying for the Chuunin exams. As far as hype though there is too much behind Sasuke and he hasn't really truly defeated anyone major so that's why he's overrated. If he had been able to truly defeat Itachi it would be hands down that he was worth the talk but he wasn't able to do that so there is that doubt and his new Sharingan hasn't really shown much in the way of greatness but he can throw black flames on your ass that even defeated the 8 Tails so he is overrated but I'd say his skills merit his acknowledgement as a deadly foe. If we wanna talk overrated I'd say the Sound Four were overrated cause they held off the Anbu black ops while Sarutobi and Oro fought but they couldn't individually defeat a bunch of genins and one chuunin in Shikamaru.

when sasuke lost to rock lee he said something like next time ill slaughter him, sasuke overestimates himself thats a fact
