@@Gabriel.asmodeus The pronunciations are a little weird to be honest, even for English words like ‘armistice’, so that’s a bit of a peeve. Besides that, yeah, misunderstandings and misrepresentations of history. Here’s an authenticity test for the ages, if someone mentions getting pushed into war through alliances, and then starts saying ‘World War…’, then ‘One’ is the only correct answer for someone who knows what they are talking about. It is literally the most well recorded and understood example of that happening in history, whereas the alliances in WW2 were kinda shoddy, especially when Hitler declared war on America. Those are my concerns, the videos are decent otherwise though, a few lacklustre opinions here and there.

If anything, Konan can be lumped together with Itachi, because loss didn’t turn her into a monster like Nagato who completely lost his way. She still looked after her loved ones, that being Nagato himself and her village.

If there's one thing life has taught me is that empathy doesn't depend on shared experience of pain but on sympathy. If someone likes you they will feel for you even if they didn't go through the same suffering you did. But if someone dislikes you or is indifferent about you but is otherwise a bitter person, they will do the exact opposite, even if they share your pain. The former will say "I don't know much about what you're going through, but I'm sorry for you", while the latter will say "If I could survive it, so can you, so stop complaining" This is why I never agreed with Pain's ideology of achieving peace through collective suffering.

[@artypyrec4186]

Kisame was loyal to his kage but his kage was manipulated by Madara/ Obito. His loyalty was to madara with extra steps. He was one of the few who knew Madara was in charge, so the leaf believing Madara was still alive and a threat leading to the war makes more sense than them going to war based on reputation. ...which explains why Itachi went to the leaf after the death of the third because he needed to contact someone since the third was dead. He couldn't, probably, contact, Tsunade so he needed confirmation. Which explains why he knew Sasuke absorbed orochimaru which means his contact had to be Danzo. Which means he had to swallow his pride, and hide so much after Hiruzen's death. Since orochimaru was his enemy and Hiruzen was dead who was left to let him know of how the curse marks worked. Or he went to the leaf, out of order of the gedo statue, to let the leaf know the atasuki was targeting Naruto, as a heads up.

Obito is a character who is trying to make everyone have a perfect reality while placing the burden on himself as the ultimate loser who misses out on this perfect reality. Mainly cause you can’t put a genjutsu on yourself normally (Kotoamatsukami is Shisui not Itachi), and Obito wants to become the ten tails Jinchuriki.

SO WHO IS IN THE THIRD COFIN? anime episode 69

[@jayyy6473]

The third coffin was minato, it was explained in the anime the reason orchimaru could not summon the third coffin fully was because minato was sealed in the shinigamis stomach:)

[@eeraboti]

The third coffin is most likely Rasa (gaaras dad) because orochimaru killed Rasa and took his place in the chunin exams. But to be honest, kishimoto probably meant for it to be Minato and he forgot about it later on so he just left the 3rd coffin alone. It might not be Rasa because the 3rd hokage was more afraid of the 3rd coffin than the first 2 hokage, which wouldn't make sense. But hiruzen probably knows that orochimaru can release people from the shinigamis stomach so he could have thought it was Minato even if it wasn't.

[@dawnzela1528]

@DoneRPG Actually this was confirmed by kishimoto himself he revealed that no it was not the third hokage it was actually Ur mom

[@Just_B0red]

Oh yeah, would be interesting. Oro got to summon minato only after preforming C section on reaper. Maybe he had fugaku in there, surely some uchiha corpse would end up in his possesion?

[@MrTrip666]

Wait what? Minato's body was in the coffin but Orochimaru's summoning failed because his soul was sealed within the Shinigami (reaper death seal). I believe Kishimoto originally wanted Hiruzen to be the one who stopped the summoning but later retconned it to be that his soul was unavailable to be brought back. It was Orochimaru in the fourth war who had discovered a way to release the souls that were trapped within the Shinigami which also included Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen and Minato's souls.

Also, Madara isn't delusional. He grew up in the warring states, and actually gave Hashirama his ultimate goal. He helped establish the 5 great ninja nations, ending the warring states. But even that didn't put an end to war and child soldiers. Just how you praised itachi for killing his clan to protect sasuke, Madara did everything he could for world peace, to include joining his arch-nemesis and fulfilling his dreams, and seeing where that led. The 5 nations did not end war as promised, even if it was amazing. Madara had the greatest vision of anyone in the series. He got everyone's needs met and dreams fulfilled in one jutsu. He united the world in ways Hashirama never could. He was not a hypocrite, not a liar. He used the burden of his strength to remove suffering from the world, successfully. What's the difference between being stuck happy in the infinite Tsukuyomi, or being stuck alive forced to work in a factory or forced to make the right cadence of youtube videos in order to be allowed to be a fed and housed human? At least the Infiinite Tsukuyomi pretends to care about YOU the person involved. No other system of living, anime or otherwise, ever took EVERYBODY'S well-being into account. If Madara came to Earth today to make the IT, I'd do everything in my power to ensure that plan go thru. I'd gladly be food for the god tree to live in a dream, than be stuck in a reality where I have to suffer to add some meaningless meaning to my life.

[@austinparker87]

I have to say. I just started the video (5:45) and MAAAAAN. Does that already hit different. I absolutely agree. And people actually forget the amount of times wars have been started by an individual head of a nation due to an assassination, murder, or kidnapping of some kind. Edit 1: The most prominent example of loss starting a war being World War 1 and the assassination that lit the flame with oil. Edit 2: Money is Motivation for war (the Middle East being the most recent example), but is also a bi-product of war. Death, Illness, Injury, weapons, drugs. All of it rakes in nations worth of capital. Always has, and always will. Edit 3: Loyalty and your explanation… amazing… genius even. *chefs kiss* Friendships and alliances is complex series of gives and takes. Causing the conflict of 2 Nations to be a continent or world wide war. (Vietnam I think being the most recent example, correct me if I’m wrong. But the US are allies to France and not Vietnam, they placed themselves in war they had no business being in due to their loyal and close ties to France, tho with a double motive) Edit 4: Protection - (i think the best modern example is N.Korea and S.Korea (whole topic on its own but yeah) - Many countries are pulled into wars for this reason, or may even launch an offensive strike before it happens their way. Edit FOUR: culture - YES - but also no - while it does seem like western culture is being forced upon the world, it’s simply not. Information travels light speed these days. Eastern culture is surrounded almost on all sides by western culture (Australia being part of Western Culture). The two heavily influence eachother nowadays, and more Eastern Cultures are starting to show their influence on Western Culture as the Two continue to evolve and adapt. Edit 5: Also Tribalism (Zetsu) - but also yes, past land, past resources, debt. All are reasons many wars have been fought. This may go along with gaining future possible resources also especially within modern times Edit 6: (Obito/Madara) Delusion and Utopia, with this comes the thirst for power and control. (future wars will be better examples for this, tho we have great examples already like Alexander the Great and The Khan Dynasty) AMAZING VIDEO

Gaara’s speech about how all of their jinchuriki and tailed beasts were taken from them and said there was no enemies between shinobi because they all felt the same pain. so Pain technically achieved his dream of sharing pain to make everyone friends so they could understand each other.

It also means he was actually correct in his beliefs

[@mikemurph1768]

power sets aswell, itatchie deception/propaganda, sasory pupeteering/haveing a pupet leader, hidan imortalization, kakazu bringing people together/ stitching up a nation, dieghdera chaos, nagato playing god, kohnan imige/being the "good guy", kisame natural reasourses, tobi inaolation of somone or something, zetzu to gain following.

Dude what kinda shower thoughts do you have cause they are just ...Dang Love ur videos , all the best

[@BigGhost420]

Before I watch the video I think I know 4. 1. Hidan- war for religion, 2. Kakuzu- war for money, 3. Nagato- war made from pain, 4. Konan- war made from love. The others I have an idea but im a bit unsure about them. Only one way to find out, on to the video! Edit: well I guess I was sort of right.

[@Long_Name]

The fact that "sky daddy" is probably up there with "join" and "war" as the most spoken words in this video is amazing LMAO

10:28 Bro hustling 😂😂

[@johnnypollack3243]

Love the video and keep up the great work nick

[@ZeroToWealthRedistribution]

Joshinism or however you spell it reminds of the spiritual opposite/distortion of the Uchiha bloodline’s strife. I wonder if lord joshine would exist if the Uchiha didn’t. If curse of hatred chakra manifested a broken god

[@Alucard2356]

You know, people keep talking about how good of a character Itachi is, but like... He murdered his ENTIRE clan. Which means children and babies, too. Man slashed babies in cribs and we're just okay with that because, "I have to protect brother."

[@SirDirtycusD]

Obito killed the women and children

[@DugganCanning]

I can't help but be amused at the stars @20:26 2 of those songs are very, very, very british.

[@beginnereasy]

"loss is something that keeps war going for decades" That's a good point and is certainly a historical epitaph. The consideration of worldwide circumcision and a secret human Master race has changed my opinions on human conflict

[@YamaMaharaja]

Honestly, as far as the real world, Kakuzu's reason is one of the biggest drives for those with much to gain... to keep wars going. You can make more money from war than peace. You gain more innovation, inventions, and technological progress during times of competitions and conflicts. Kakuzu being alive as long as he has, taking from others to prolong himself, and for the sake of profit makes him no different than many old politicians, bankers, and profiteers in our world who want to make the most profit & power.

I love yr $hi7 so much it's the only content on the platform I consume @1x play speed. Keep up the awesome work brother.

[@adontate3837]

You should make a video of everyone who most likely a uzumaki

[@sauceboss9610]

Ya know Sasori's reason could be the downright dirty reason and that would be slavery I mean think about it he went to other people captured them and used them for his ideals. Pain's reasoning could be power he wants the power of the tailed beast to establish peace (pretty straight forward there). You never touched on Orochimaru who I think his motives would be discovery as he wants to discover a new power, a new technique, a new jutsu something that he doesn't know about this could also be the reasoning why he was kicked out as the discovery of something new hasn't been into play for a long time

[@Biffbifflin]

Slavery is a really apt reasoning for Sasori, I like this suggestion

[@ranoutofgoodusernames8394]

Hey Nick! I have a video idea for you.. What if Kurama succeeded in his plan to fully take control of Naruto after he loses control? preferably during the Pain arc

[@greatikechukwu4032]

Here's another one: What if Danzo stepped up instead of Sarutobi on the last mission with Tobirama

[@Jojo-jy7ud]

I have a question, would Orochimaru be able to become a perfect snake sage now that he has the White Zetsu body? Or is his body still too weak?
