Why you guys hating on the Sauce
Oh sausce is a cool dude,
I'm arguing against the notion this battle made him sad, his life was sad and as it got more and more sinister it got sadder and sadder.
Garlic's and Noodles problems were up front " demon kid" anime trope every one hates him ect.
Sauce? Nah, he had my life is a lie political espionage/ mob shit. Every step on his journey was a proverbial mind fornication session.
I'm actually surprised that he has made it to thsi point, that is not an insult, that's a complement to how resistant he is.
Every step you take you the more you know your life is a lie, and what happened to you , meaningless. Not because of fate or destiny or anything existential like that, but because your family was a means to an end. An someone took advantage of that, not because of fate, because of greed and the inability to communicate. And the guy didn't even have the courtesy of being that strong.
Every chapter after a certain point was suicide sauske watch
Sasuke had one of the harder lives in the Manga, but some of that he owes it to himself. He always, always had Naruto. A friend that won't give on him, no matter what. But he didn't had the strength to ask him for help when he needed in the most.
.
Not really, and thats where the writting faulters.
Naruto's was never sasuke's friend. Ever. Sasuke doesn't understand what a friend is. Sasuke is naruto's friend, or at least he views him as such. Sasuke saying " you were the closest thing I had to a friend" is " well I actually knew who you were the longest ".
Sauce had no one, and less and less people overtime as everything unraveled, how could he trust naruto at a certain point. Or anyone at the leaf village for that matter.
