Sasuke Uchiha (Japanese: Hepburn: Uchiha Sasuke) is a fictional character from

the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Sasuke is one of the few
surviving members of the Uchiha clan, an infamous and powerful extended family of ninjas. The
Uchiha were allied to the village of Konohagakure but were massacred by Sasuke's older
brother, Itachi Uchiha, before the series' start. At the series' beginning, Sasuke's sole focus was
to avenge the destruction of his clan by killing his brother, but he later tries to be empathetic
toward his teammates, notably Naruto Uzumaki, whom he eventually considers a friend. Sasuke
has also appeared in several of the series' animated feature films, as well as other media,
including video games and OVAs, and most notably the movie Boruto: Naruto the Movie and its
manga sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Sasuke was conceived as a rival to the series' title character, Naruto Uzumaki. Despite Sasuke's
darker character development in later parts of the story, Kishimoto avoided making Sasuke an
evil person. Sasuke's design challenged Kishimoto as he drew the manga, but he has since
grown to greatly enjoy drawing him. In the animated adaptations of the manga, Sasuke has been
voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama in Japanese and Yuri Lowenthal in English.
Sasuke's character has been both acclaimed and criticized in various anime and manga
publications. Many reviewers noted his cold, detached attitude and impressive abilities, and he
has been viewed as a stereotypical "rival" in the mold of similar characters in
other shnen manga. The character's development has been praised for his rivalries with other
characters and his impact on the series' narrative arc. Moreover, Sasuke has been highly
popular among the Naruto reader base, placing highly in popularity polls. Merchandise based on
Sasuke has also been released, including action figures and plush dolls.

Creation and conception[edit]

Development[edit]
Despite difficulties in designing him, Kishimoto enjoys illustrating Sasuke's character. He aimed to make
Sasuke look appealing in his Part II design.
Sasuke was not included in Kishimoto's original concept of the Naruto manga. While discussing
the future of the series, his editor advised him to add a rival character for the series' protagonist,
Naruto Uzumaki, so he created Sasuke.[2] Kishimoto read a variety of manga to gather ideas for
creating an effective rivalry between the characters, and he incorporated these elements into
Naruto and Sasuke's relationship. Kishimoto also drew inspiration from his own relationship with
his twin brother, Seishi. Since childhood, Masashi had worried about Seishi when he faced
failures, such as in high school or college, and tried to help him.[3]
To contrast him with Naruto, Kishimoto was careful to never make Sasuke too emotional, instead
depicting him as a "cool genius". Kishimoto felt he had created the ideal rivalry in the pair.[4] He
wanted Naruto and Sasuke to seem like brothers and rivals at the same time, building on their
mutual experience of childhood loneliness. At first, Sasuke does not view Naruto as an opponent
worth considering, but he is quickly surprised at Naruto's growth and becomes fiercely
competitive. In the finale of Part I, their rivalry leads to a fight and the two grow further apart.
Kishimoto has said that he did not want Sasuke to recognize Naruto as an equal until later in Part
II.[5]
To introduce Sasuke, Kishimoto originally wrote a chapter which was set before the creation of
Team 7, when Naruto had just become a ninja. However, this idea was later scrapped and
Sasuke was introduced alongside Team 7, although he kept the same traits and his rivalry with
Naruto.[6] Sasuke's first name comes from Sanpei Shirato's Sasuke, a manga Kishimoto likes,
and Sarutobi Sasuke, a fictional ninja featured in Japanese children's stories.[7] Since Sasuke had
few appearances in the Naruto movies, Kishimoto decided to give him a bigger role in Boruto:
Naruto the Movie. In Boruto, Sasuke becomes a teacher to Naruto's first son, Boruto Uzumaki,
an apparent reference to Piccolo and Gohan from the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira
Toriyama.[8] Kishimoto first planned Sasuke and Sakura's romance early in the production
of Naruto. He also decided Sasuke would remain a rogue ninja at the series' close despite
ending on good terms with his allies.[9] Boruto film director Hiroyuki Yamashita said his favorite
scene from the film was the fight between Sasuke and Kinshiki which happens in the beginning.
It was originally to last longer than the final version.[10]
When dramatic plot developments made Sasuke one of the series' antagonists, Kishimoto
compared him and Naruto to yin and yang due to their notable differences and complementary
natures. He has mentioned that when one progresses, he makes sure the other does as
well.[11] In 2013, as the series approached its climax, Kishimoto encouraged readers to look
forward to Sasuke and Naruto's final fight.[5] Since the start of the serialization, Kishimoto had
planned that the series' ending would feature the final fight between the two characters, although
he was not sure whether the characters would end the duel as friends or enemies.[12] While the
two use ninja techniques in the beginning, in the climax the author wanted both fighters to rely
on hand-to-hand combat.[13] In the end, Kishimoto decided to have Naruto forgive Sasuke as he
had forgiven Nagato, another former enemy.[14]Anime staff Chengxi Huang said that during the
animated adaptation of this fight, the group worked carefully to depict the action in every scene
by showing changes on Sasuke and Naruto's clothes and hair. Huang added he felt fatigued by
working so much into this fight due to reaching 70 successive cuts at a time.[15]
In retrospect, Kishimoto says he felt Sasuke was a difficult character to write, requiring a great
deal of forethought and planning. In early 2014, when asked whether Sasuke was good or evil,
Kishimoto referred to him as a "very pure person", adding that while some of his actions, such as
following his clan's ideals, are positive, his self-centered nature tends to cause problems for
others.[16] Before the series finale, Sasuke decides to leave on a solo journey. Kishimoto later
explained that besides self-atonement, Sasuke also wanted to discover the origins of the series'
final antagonist. However, Kishimoto decided not to explain this in the manga.[3] For the spin-off
focused on Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, Kishimoto wanted to explain how the
couple was connected despite being far away from each other as a result of Sasuke's mission
which made him unable to stay in his village. The author also wanted to put effort in the final
scene of the Uchiha family as for him that was the most important area of the spin-off.[17]
Design[edit]
Original sketch of Sasuke's Part I design, which was revised to be less detailed
Because he was developed to be Naruto's opposite, Kishimoto remarked that Sasuke was the
most memorable character for him to design.[18]Kishimoto has noted that Sasuke's character was
also influenced by Hiei from Yoshihiro Togashi's series YuYu Hakusho, stating that he
referenced Hiei when designing the character and his Sharingan ability.[19] He also considered
Sasuke his most challenging character to create, because his design gave Kishimoto a number
of problems. He lacked a proper idea of what Sasuke's face should look like, and his initial drafts
of Sasuke appeared too old or mature for a character of the same age as Naruto.[20] Original
designs of Sasuke had a number of necklaces and ties around his arms and legs as a result of
Kishimoto's habit of giving characters as much ornamentation as possible. Realizing he could not
draw such a complex character on a weekly basis, Kishimoto simplified the design to be a basic
contrast of Naruto's costume.[21]
Sasuke was also the most difficult character for Kishimoto to draw. He felt that his drawings
tended to make Sasuke look too old, a result of his inexperience in drawing younger characters
mature beyond their years.[21] Sasuke's hair, originally kept short to save Kishimoto time, slowly
grew longer as the series has progressed.[20] Midway through Part I, Kishimoto drew a new
costume for Sasuke featuring a number of belts strapped around his arms and legs, but because
it took too long to draw, he returned to Sasuke's original costume design.[22] Despite the time and
energy Kishimoto spends drawing Sasuke, he has become his favorite character to draw.[21] He
ranked Sasuke alongside Sakura in terms of drawing difficulty.[13] In some cases, his superiors
even asked Kishimoto to redraw parts of the manga that did not illustrate Sasuke well.[13]
When designing Sasuke's appearance in Part II, Kishimoto's main objective was to make him
look cool. For this, he tried several outfits, such as wrapping him in Shimenawa to evoke the
design of Orochimaru, then Sasuke's master. He also tried other clothing such as
a turtleneck and a military uniform to show "cleanliness". However, he ended up choosing
Japanese-style clothes with a Chokut-style sword.[23] For the film The Last: Naruto the Movie,
Kishimoto gave Sasuke a new, young adult design, with "even sharper" facial features.[24]
Voice actors and personality[edit]
Yuri Lowenthal, voice of Sasuke in the anime's English dub
In the Japanese animations, Sasuke is voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama. At the beginning of the Part I
anime, Sugiyama found it difficult to voice Sasuke because he did not know much about his
personality. Sugiyama felt that he started to better understand and portray the character when
Sasuke encountered his brother Itachi. Sugiyama also read the manga and became particularly
interested in Sasuke's development once the character left Konohagakure. Sugiyama even
wanted to redo some scenes, including Sasuke's departure from Konohagakure.[25] In the Behind
the Scenes of Uchiha, a feature centered around Sasuke and Itachi's backstory, Sugiyama noted
that he had gotten emotional during the sixth Naruto Shippudenseason's recording sessions,
when Sasuke learned the truth about his brother's role in the massacre of the Uchiha clan.[26]
Sugiyama stated that Sasuke's line "you are annoying" sums up Sasuke's feelings toward
Sakura. He is initially annoyed by her, yet when he repeats it before leaving Konohagakure, he is
smiling. Naruto's voice actor, Junko Takeuchi, remarked that Sasuke's line "See you next time
Thank you.", addressed to Sakura, revealed his feelings for her. Sugiyama noted that by the end,
Sasuke realized how much he had hurt Sakura's feelings across the series and apologized to her
after his final fight against Naruto. In preparations for the film Boruto, Sugiyama expected to see
a bond between Sasuke and his student, Boruto.[27] For the Boruto anime series, Sugiyama noted
a major change in Sasuke's personality and he wanted fans to see the character's interaction
with his family.[28]
Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced Sasuke in the English dubs, felt honored to be chosen considering
the large retinue of voice actors auditioning for the role, but noted the job was stressful because
fans were highly critical of any deviation or mistake in his recordings.[29] His first impression of
Sasuke was that of "a serious guy dedicated to his training", but his view changed as he learned
more of Sasuke's backstory.[30] In 2010, Lowenthal said that Sasuke was one of the first "dark"
characters he voiced, commenting that "he's sort of a hero, but hes not the nave, young white
hat hero".[31] Nevertheless, he said he loves voicing the character.[32] Due to Viz Media often
censoring parts of the series' dialogue for Western viewers, Lowenthal said some of Sasuke's
lines were changed such as his usage of the word "kill". As a result, he commented he preferred
the series' original Japanese version due to remaining true to the character.[33]
Description[edit]
Sasuke is introduced in Part I as a young, spiky black-haired teenager who wears a blue shirt,
with a fan representing his clan on his back. He also wears short white pants and the customary
Konohagakure headband.[34] Early in the series, a man named Orochimaru brands Sasuke with a
cursed seal that causes black marks to cover his body and later grants him new Cursed Seal
powers, which give him gray skin, white hair, and claw-like wings.[35] In Part II, he usually appears
wearing a white kimono with black pants. While skilled in the use of shurikens, in Part II Sasuke
wields a chokut sword which he calls Kusanagi. Besides using Kusanagi for Kenjutsu, Sasuke
can additionally combine it with lightning-based techniques to increase the range of his
attacks.[36][37]
Throughout the series, Sasuke is shown as silent character who seeks to become stronger by
any means in order to kill his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, for betraying and murdering their entire
clan.[38] Nevertheless, Sasuke is moved when Naruto Uzumaki wants him to make peace with the
village. As a result, Sasuke considers Naruto his only friend.[39] By the end of the series, Sasuke
becomes more kindhearted, but decides not to return to his home, choosing instead to redeem
himself and search for an enemy threatening the peace in Konohagakure.[40][41]
Appearances[edit]
In Naruto[edit]
Part I[edit]
Sasuke is the remarkable, sole survivor of the once powerful Uchiha clan of Konoha. At age
seven, he survived the massacre of his entire clan at the hands of his brother, Itachi Uchiha, who
spared his life only because he deemed Sasuke unworthy to kill.[42] When first assigned to Team
7, Sasuke is antisocial, superior and unwilling to cooperate with his team members, Naruto
Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, but he eventually concedes that they are useful.[43][44] Sasuke
awakens his Sharingan, the inherited ability of the Uchiha clan to see through illusions
(genjutsu), which allows him to see and learn imperceptible movements at a superhuman
rate.[45][46] As time passes, Sasuke seeks out very strong opponents in order to convince himself
that he is growing physically.[47]
During the Chunin exams, Team 7 encounters Orochimaru, an infamous ninja exiled from
Konoha, who infects Sasuke with a curse mark. When active, the mark increases Sasuke's
physical abilities, but makes him cruel and sadistic, as the mark contains a fragment of
Orochimaru's consciousness.[48][49] Soon after, Kakashi teaches Sasuke his own Chidoritechnique,
attempting to appease his desire for power.[50] During the siege of Konoha, Sasuke is beaten
by Gaara, but is rescued by Naruto. Not long after, Itachi returns to Konoha and Sasuke attempts
to kill him, only to be beaten and tortured. In response, Sasuke decides he has to leave Team 7
and Konoha in order to become stronger.[51] Believing Orochimaru's tutelage will make him more
powerful, Sasuke defects from Konoha and becomes an outlaw.[52] Naruto follows him, and the
two fight when Sasuke refuses to return. Sasuke wins, but he spares Naruto's life and continues
on to Orochimaru's hideout to seek power.[53]
Part II[edit]
After two and a half years of training, Sasuke tries to kill a weakened Orochimaru before he can
take possession of his younger body.[54] After Orochimaru's defeat, he proceeds with his goal to
kill Itachi.[55] Sasuke forms team Hebi and tracks him down.[56] They fight, but at the climax of the
battle, Itachi dies from a preexisting illness.[57] After the battle, Sasuke meets Itachi's
superior, Tobi, who reveals that Itachi killed the Uchiha under the orders of Konohagakure and
spared Sasuke out of love, not contempt.[57] Sasuke reunites with Hebi, which he renames
"Taka", and declares his intention to destroy the Hidden Leaf village in retribution. By now, his
Sharingan has evolved into a Mangekyo Sharingan, giving Sasuke powerful new
techniques.[58] After agreeing to work temporarily for Akatsuki, Sasuke becomes a
criminal.[59] During this time, Sasuke kills one of the masterminds behind the Uchiha
Massacre, Danzo Shimura, who was acting as the Hokage, the leader of
Konohagakure.[60] Sasuke is then confronted by his former teammates from Team 7, and Naruto
challenges him to a final fight sometime in the future, when he predicts that they will both die if he
fails to stop Sasuke's actions.[61] Soon after, Sasuke asks Tobi to transplant Itachi's eyes to him,
fact which restores his eyesight and gives him eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.[62]
Following his recovery, Sasuke and the reanimated Itachi capture Kabuto Yakushi, who controls
the reanimated soldiers aiding Tobi.[63] Disillusioned with his brother's resolve to protect the
village, Sasuke decides to learn more about his clan from the first four Hokages, who were
reanimated by the revived Orochimaru.[64] After hearing the First Hokage's story about Konoha's
foundation, Sasuke decides to protect it and heads to the battlefield.[65] There, he reunites with
Team 7 and fights the creature known as the Ten-Tails which is being controlled by the
masterminds behind Akatsuki.[66][67] While battling his enemies, Sasuke inherits an Eye Techique
known as the Rinnegan from the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, in his
subconscious, to aid him. However, Team 7 end up fighting and sealing a being known as
Kaguya.[68] Afterwards, Sasuke engages Naruto in a one-on-one fight to decide the fate of the
current status quo.[69] When he loses his left arm, Sasuke accepts defeat and reconciles with
Naruto.[70] Sakura heals him and so he can break Akatsuki's illusion with his Rinnegan. Afterward,
Sasuke is pardoned for his crimes by Kakashi, who has become the Sixth Hokage. Sasuke
decides to travel the world to find redemption while responding to Sakura's feelings despite not
wanting her to join that time. As he leaves, he also says farewell to Naruto in thanks for saving
him.[40] By the manga's finale, Sasuke has returned to the village and married Sakura, with whom
he has a daughter named Sarada Uchiha.[71]
In other media[edit]
Sasuke has appeared in several works outside of the Naruto anime and manga. He appears in
the four original video animations produced for the series: helping Naruto and Konohamaru
Sarutobi find a four-leaf clover in the first,[72] joining Naruto's team for a mission in the
second,[72] participating in a tournament in the third and working with Team 7 in the
fourth.[73][74] One OVA features an alternative fight between Sasuke and Naruto in Part II of the
anime.[75] Sasuke also appears in the first two Naruto feature films, although he shows up only
briefly in a flashback in the second film.[76] The first Part II movie to feature him is the
second, Bonds.[77] The sixth Part II movie, Road to Ninja, features an alternate reality version of
Sasuke who is a flirting casanova.[78] In The Last: Naruto the Movie, an adult Sasuke returns
briefly to Konohagakure to protect it from a meteor.[79]
Sasuke is a recurring character in the Naruto light novels. He is the protagonist of Naruto
Jinraiden: The Day the Wolf Howled, which explores Sasuke's reflections after Itachi's death and
his decision to destroy Konoha.[80] In Sakura Hiden, an older and reformed Sasuke continues his
redemption journey, but returns to Konohagakure after hearing rumors that Sakura has been
abducted. There, he learns the rumors are wrong and parts on friendly terms with
Sakura.[81] In Akatsuki Hiden, Sasuke meets two children who tell him stories about Akatsuki, and
the three of them discuss Itachi's legacy.[82] He is also the protagonist of Sasuke Shinden, where
he agrees to aid Konohagakure by investigating a rash of disappearances. With the help of Taka
and a ninja named Sai, Sasuke is able to solve the case and, after receiving a letter from Naruto,
he decides to return to the village to meet Sakura.[83]
In the spin-off Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, Sasuke discovers that a new
threat greater than Kaguya is approaching. He reunites with Naruto and the others to oppose
Orochimaru's former test subjects, who want to revive the Akatsuki and avenge Itachi. After
defeating Orochimaru's test subjects, Sasuke promises to come home soon to his wife and
daughter before resuming his mission.[84] Sasuke is a protagonist of the Naruto spin-off manga
named Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan Legend by Kenji Taira, in which he searches for Itachi with
his group Taka.[85] In the making of the series, Taira said Sasuke would be characterized as an
"idiot".[86]
In Boruto: Naruto the Movie, Sasuke returns to Konoha to warn Naruto of the imminent threat
posed by Momoshiki and Kinshiki. He reunites with his family and meets Naruto's son, Boruto,
who asks Sasuke to take him on as his apprentice in order to surpass his father. Sasuke agrees
on the condition that Boruto learns the Rasengan and prepares for the Chunin Exams. When
Momoshiki and Kinshiki attack the village during the exam with the intent to kidnap Naruto,
Sasuke protects Sarada and Boruto as Naruto travels to another dimension to protect them.
Sasuke then allies with Boruto and the four other Kage to rescue Naruto. Boruto uses a giant
Rasengan to destroy the enemy, effectively ending Sasuke's mission and allowing him to return
home. Sasuke is also Boruto's teacher in the manga sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next
Generations.[87] After Momoshiki's defeat, Sasuke notices the enemy placed a seal inside Boruto
and urges the teenager to seek his help should something happen to him.[88]
Sasuke is a common playable character in Naruto video games, including the Clash of
Ninja series and the Ultimate Ninja series.[89][90][91] In some games, it is possible to unlock and
activate his cursed seal. Due to his absence from early Naruto Shippden chapters and
episodes, he does not appear in any games based on Naruto Shippuden until Gekitou Ninja
Taisen EX 2.[92] Sasuke has also appeared in the crossover games such as Battle Stadium
D.O.N and J-Stars Victory Vs.[93]
Reception[edit]
Popularity[edit]
Sasuke has ranked among the top five Naruto characters in every official Weekly Shnen
Jump popularity poll of the series. Though Sasuke's rank initially alternated between the third
and fourth spots, he has twice come first.[94][95] Several items of Sasuke merchandise have been
released, including plush toys with his Part I and Part II appearances,[96][97]key chains,[98][99] and
numerous figurines.[100][101] Theatergoers of the Boruto film were given two different types of fans
with one of them using Sasuke and Sarada's images.[102]NTT customers voted him their fifth
favorite black-haired male anime character in 2014.[103] IGN also listed him as the seventh
best Naruto character when the series ended in 2014.[104] In a Japanese pollsters' Charapedia
poll, Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry won first place.[105] In a poll by Anime News Network, he was
voted the 13th "Best Guy".[106] In developing the fighting game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja
Storm 2, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama stated his favorite fight in making the series
was the one between Sasuke and Itachi.[107] In an interview of Mezamashi TV, Kishimoto was
given questions by Nogizaka46's band member Rina Ikoma who was cosplaying as Sasuke;
Kishimoto complimented Ikoma's cosplay.[108] At New York's 2015 Comic-Con, stage moderator
Christopher Butcher and editor Jo Otsuki discussed Sasuke's great popularity, noting that he had
become the series' most popular character. Otsuki admitted Sasuke was his own favorite
character in the series. Butcher was surprised by this given Sasuke's pessimistic worldview and
its contrast to Naruto's more positive outlook. Butcher wondered whether readers found Sasuke
a more relatable character after the defeat of his worldview by Naruto's in the series finale.
Otsuki thought that fans found Sasuke's character and abilities cooler than his rival's, and given
the similarities between these two characters and the series' happy ending, he thought Sasuke
found a more positive worldview by the end.[109] Animation director Chengxi Huang considered the
battle between Sasuke and Killer Bee as one of best ones he saw in anime.[110]
Critical response[edit]
An Uchiwa, a type of Eastern hand fan, ties in to Sasuke's character and his relationship with Naruto. [111]
Manga, anime, and video game publications and other related media have both praised and
criticised Sasuke's character.[112] GameSpot's Joe Donson extolled Sasuke's abilities as "badass"
but echoed IGN's comments about his "emo" personality.[113] T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews noted that
Sasuke fell into the stereotypical "rival" mold of shnen manga and found him unlikable.[114] On
the other hand, Mania Entertainment's Dani Moure praised the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are
forced to work together despite their rivalry. Moure liked that, despite their constant competition,
"the group [Naruto and Sasuke] come together when they need to".[115] A study which examined
whether readers could predict character types based on physical cues found Sasuke to be
a ISTJ (Myers-Briggs) character type, making him a foil for Naruto's personality.[116] Rik Spanjers
sees the difference between Sasuke (a loner) and Naruto (an optimist) as tragic, arguing that the
contrast between the two protagonists' approach to the world is fundamental to the plot:
"Narutos strength grows as he gains more loved ones to protect, while Sasuke remains alone
and is increasingly absorbed by his quest for revenge."[117] Amy Plumb argues that Kishimoto's
use of references to Japanese mythology in Naruto are intended to add additional layers to the
story, including Sasuke's clan's heraldic symbol, a fan known as an uchiwa. These fans are used
in Japanese myths to exorcise evil, by blowing it away; Sasuke discovers late in the series that
he has the ability to "blow away" the influence of the Nine-Tailed Fox creature sealed inside
Naruto.[111]
Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network described Sasuke's fight in the Chunin Exams as "pure
action" and noted that Orochimaru's influence over him kept the tension high.[118] In another
review, Kimlinger commented that Sasuke was in need of development when he was escaping
from Konoha, but the long flashbacks of his life before his fight against Naruto were
unnecessary.[119] The fight between the two characters has been called one of the most
entertaining from the series, not only because of the tactics used, but also because it
emphasized their rivalry's growth and the emotional undercurrents of the fight.[120][121] In the
book New Media Literacies and Participatory Popular Culture Across Borders, Amy A. Zenger
noted that Sasuke and Sakura's relationship was popular with fans even at the time when
Sasuke hadnt yet reciprocated Sakura's feelings.[122] Charles White of IGN commented that
Sasuke's farewell to Sakura in the first series had been one of the most emotional scenes in the
series so far and revealed Sakura's feelings had grown beyond her original crush on him.
Sasuke's amiable response led White to believe the two could become a couple.[123] Theron
Martin from Anime News Network (ANN) praised Yuri Lowenthal's voicing of Sasuke but noted
the actor had problems sounding younger in flashbacks.[124]
In Part II of the manga, Sasuke's traits reference elements from Japanese mythology such as the Susanoo
technique (above) and his Kusanagi sword (below).
Sasuke's appearances in Part II of the Naruto manga have received major praise. His weaponry
and techniques are based on Japanese mythology such as the Kusanagi sword and his
"Susanoo" eye technique.[111][125] Manga Life's Park Cooper noted that Sasuke's new abilities and
his fight against Orochimaru indicated a sudden "change in the nature of things".[126] Jason
Thompson enjoyed both his new design and his first interactions with Naruto after the series'
timeskip. Reviewing a scene later in the series, Thompson noted that Sasuke had not become
particularly evil, since Itachi is the only one of his enemies that he actually kills.[127] Sasuke's
reintroduction in the second story arc was so important that the animated adaptation Naruto
Shippuden started with a sneak peek of this scene. In Shippuden, Sasuke's personality was not
entirely different from the original series. His more emotional attitude kept scenes interesting, as
did his conversation with the nine-tailed demon fox which foreshadowed future
events.[128][129] Casey Brienza from ANN described Sasuke's final fight against Itachi as "epic" and
noted that Itachi's death and revelations about his life notably impacted Sasuke's personality and
point of view.[130] UK Anime Network's Dan Rhodes compared Sasuke's fight scenes in a later arc
favorably with the scenes of Naruto's fight against Akatsuki member Pain, highlighting the
characters' motives for each fight.[131] Jacob Hope Chapman of ANN listed Sasuke and Naruto as
one of "Anime's Fiercest Frenemies", citing their similarities and the renewal of their friendship
after their mortal battle.[132] Amy McNulty of ANN also praised their final fight, despite finding
Sasuke unlikeable in that scene.[133] Chris Beveridge from the Fandom Post lauded Sasuke's
decision to protect Konohagakure, since it meant that he would aid Naruto's group in upcoming
episodes, alongside the reanimated Hogakes he had gathered.[134] In a later review, Beveridge
wondered whether at this point Sasuke was suffering from a god complex, considering his desire
to spark revolution in the episodes leading up to his final fight with Naruto. However, Beveridge
appreciated the battle for its well-developed choreography.[135] Sarah Nelkin of Anime Now
thought the final fight between Sasuke and Naruto was one of the series' darkest moments
because of how close they came to killing each other, even though Naruto continued to try to
reconcile with Sasuke during the battle.[136]
In a later review, McNulty praised scenes like the one in which Sasuke admits his crimes and
agrees to go to prison, as it showed acceptance of responsibility for his misdeeds. McNulty also
praised Sasuke's later journey of self-redemption, as well as his decision to respond to Sakura's
feelings for him before leaving.[137] IGN's Ramsey Isler considered Sasuke's change of heart
drastic, but he felt it was a fitting conclusion for the character after the series' events and fit well
with him once again leaving the village, this time on good terms with his friends and the
village.[138] Manga author Hiroaki Samura was pleased with Sasuke's character arc in the series,
especially his influence on Naruto and the fact that in the end he returns to Konohagakure
because of Naruto.[139] While finding Sasuke's fate in the manga's ending predictable, McNulty felt
that the character's monologue after his final fight with Naruto helped to show a deeper side to
him.[140]
Following Naruto's finale, there have also been comments on Sasuke's appearances in the
sequel and spin-off series. Reviewing Boruto: Naruto the Movie, Chris Zimmerman from DVD
Talk noted that Sasuke's personal issues with Sarada fit the main theme and paralleled Naruto's
issues with Boruto. Zimmerman also enjoyed the fight scenes between Sasuke and the other
major characters.[141] Christian Chiok from Japanator and Alexandria Hill from Otaku USA shared
similar opinions regarding Sasuke's role in Boruto, with the former enjoying the teamwork
between Sasuke and Naruto during the climax and the latter praising the entertaining fight
between Sasuke and the villain Kinshiki.[142][143] Dan Rhodes said that Sasuke and Naruto's fight
scenes in the movie are some of the best parts of the film, predicting long-time fans would look
forward to them.[144]
In the manga Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Beveridge liked Sasuke's personality, particularly
as it was presented during his dialogue with Naruto.[145] Reviewing the anime adaptation, Sam
Stewart from IGN was particularly impressed by the scenes between Sasuke and Sarada, most
notably because of changes in Sasuke's characterization. He highlighted that despite acting
coldly toward his daughter, Sasuke ended up using his body as a shield to protect her from his
enemy.[146] Ken Iikura from Anime Now agreed, pointing out that Sasuke had become a loving
husband and father in Boruto, despite retaining some of the dark aspects of his personality.
Ikikura noted that Sasuke and Sarada's meeting in Boruto significantly developed both
characters.[41] McNulty disliked the romance between Sasuke and Sakura in the original series,
because she felt it was initially a one-sided crush on Sakura's part, but she believed the spin-off
manga Naruto Gaiden expanded on the bond between the two and their relationship with their
daughter, Sarada.[147]Stewart praised Sasuke's portrayal as a flawed parent rather than an
effortlessly good one, noting that his farewell to Sarada demonstrated his difficulty in being a
good father.[148]Another writer from Anime Now, Sarah Nelkin, noted that these episodes helped
develop Sasuke as both a father and a husband, especially when he explains to Sarada that she
creates a bond between him and Sakura which persists despite him being frequently absent as a
result of his mission.[149]
