Light Yagami's Justification of the use of the Death Note

youtube

Light Yagami is a very complex character. He uses the Death Note, a weapon that's capable of killing anyone whose name is written inside of it. Human nature can get pretty dark given the right circumstances but he literally uses the book on an unprecedented scale...enough to change the world. In a single day, his Shinigami, Ryuk, tells him he's never seen the book be used as much as Light has used it and keep in mind Light lives in the modern age and Ryuk says the notebook has dropped in the human world several times beforehand.

Anyway I believe the reason Light continues using the Death Note is more than him being a sociopath/psychopath, although those are very crucial to the reason why...only a person who could be labeled such a thing would even go to the extent that he did and would consider doing the things he's done.

Major reasons for his continuous use of the death note has to do with his goal of changing the world and the fallacies that can be applied to it. Mainly the sunk cost fallacy and the slippery slope fallacy. I apply these to Light and they fit extremely well! Watch the video and let me know what you think!

I talked about Itachi from an Ethical and Moral perspective. I feel like every time someone brings up his character they are either blindly all on one side or the other.

I believe it’s fine to pick either side depending on how you view him as a character within the series and your own interpretation on Ethical dilemmas and Moral concepts, especially within a certain society/community.

I judged him based on the concepts and ethics in the Naruto verse itself and applied real world principles/dilemmas to his actions. I think it’s an interesting take on his character and I was wanting people to listen to what I have to say and tell me what you think, if you have any differing opinions (which I’m sure many will) , and overall thoughts on the video itself when it comes to editing and production. Thank you.

P.S. I’ll also make some based around other characters as well like Minato, Madara, etc.

The true reason why Itachi was right/justified - The best answer

https://youtu.be/9vxHV5mg6JM - This is a video I also made on the subject that breaks it down even further and explains my points much more easily and I'd appreciate it if you watched and gave me some feed back on not only my argument but video production as well

BUT for the reddit short version. A few days ago I made a post that seemed to take off in the sub about Itachi and it didn't have anything to do with whether he was right or wrong in his decision in massacring his clan but unsurprisingly that's what it led to and the opinions like always are very mixed but people have extremely poor arguments on both sides and more often than not let their own world view and emotions come into their decision making when it should in fact be viewed from the not only the world the Naruto universe is, mainly Konoha, but also their world as a whole, also who Itachi and why he holds the views he does and ultimately why he did what he did that night.

There's this misconception that Itachi is stupid or that he made the wrong choice because he's blood related to his clan, that the clan is his family and no matter what the result is that he should stand with them and fight against Konoha and even worse there are people who believe that the Uchiha clan can even win that battle in the first place. First and foremost, even if Uchiha had a chance to rebel they would get completely annihilated by the rest of Konoha shinobi, there's just too much riding against them but that's not to say that Konoha wouldn't have taken any major damage to Konoha and their forces; facing the Uchiha clan would definitely be an hard battle but in the end they are one clan vs many other clans such as Hyuga, Aburame, Akimichi, Nara, etc and other notable shinobi from Konoha such as Kakashi, a Younger Hiruzen, Danzo, Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, etc; they're not winning that battle and it's foolish to think otherwise.

That's not the main point but that plays into the next point. It's not about winning the battle against Konoha for Itachi, It's about the damage and domino effect it would cause. As said in the story a civil war of that magnitude breaking out in the leaf would surely cause severe damage and a great amount of casualties to not only the leaf but non shinobi as well. That damage would be a cause for concern because other nations would take advantage of the instability within the Konoha and attack, potentially destroying Konoha entirely and that's a high possibility especially when you look at relations of other villages with Konoha, especially the Cloud Village who are almost rivaling Konoha in power and to add on to that Konoha and Cloud didn't have the best relations during the time frame pre-4th great shinobi war; considering they tried to kidnap Kushina and Hinata. During the Kidnapping of Hinata, her father actually killed the Cloud ninja which resulted in his brother sacrificing himself, so to say their relations weren't great would be an understatement.

Itachi also adopted the will of fire and being a part of the anbu held it to a deeper extent but he also craved for peace among all else in his village because of the 3rd great shinobi war he was exposed to at the age of 4. He never wanted to experience anything like that again, especially within his village, that could lead to an even greater conflict and war. Itachi loved his family but he also loved his village, the village is also Itachi's family, remembering Hiruzen said Itachi thought like a Hokage at the age of 7 and that's the Hokage's mentality. The Hokage also possess the will of fire being the leader of their village it's unsurprising.

What is the will of fire? The Will of Fire is the notion that one must sacrifice and endure, that's what it means to be a shinobi, and sacrifice no matter what it is, if it leads to the greater good of the village then it was worth. That is the Will of Fire . As Hashirama said after killing Madara he's willing to kill his friend, family and even his own child if it's for the greater good of the village. This is literally Itachi's mindset. He loves his family dearly and he also loves his village but he knows that the village is more than his family. The village is his family as well and a larger portion at that. The Hokage looks at the entire village as their family, there are several references to Itachi being Hokage like, by Hiruzen, Danzo, Hashirama, and Sasuke. Remember what Minato said (also an Hokage) "To forsake one's country and one's village is the same as forsaking one's child", He says this to a dying Kushina about Naruto after sacrificing his son's upbringing for what? THE VILLAGE.

It's because of Itachi's experiences that he is this way and being in the anbu made him adopt it the Will of Fire to a further extent, as we know the anbu pretty much radicalize the Will of Fire to the most extreme level and are willing to do ANYTHING for the village, especially the anbu that take orders from who? You guessed it. DANZO. Who gave Itachi that choice? DANZO. Danzo knew Itachi's heart, while he spoke to Itachi in a manipulative tone, everything Danzo said was in fact true. and his actions are justified because there's are the actions a shinobi is supposed to take. Starting from the very first Hokage. This is why he is praised by Hashirama for being a better shinobi than him. This is how the Naruto world is and how it this question should be looked at.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

youtube

I got even more in depth in my video and actually touch on the themes of morality and ethics and this is all from the view of the Naruto universe and not our own. I feel like it's the best explanation of Itachi because there's no personal biases and just straight facts, but as always when it comes to such a topic, I know answers vary but Im ready and willing to argue any point.

Expanded Upon In Video Format! And Reblog goes a long way! <3

Explore the intriguing comparisons between Hashirama and Naruto, delving into the perception of Hashirama as a failure for not saving Madara and perpetuating the cycle of hatred. Discover the parallels between Hashirama and Naruto's struggles, particularly in their relationships with their closest friends, Madara and Sasuke Uchiha. Join us in examining Hashirama Senju's legacy and determining if he truly failed as some argue.

Expanded Text: The comparison between Hashirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki has been a subject of debate among avid fans of the Naruto series. Many argue that Hashirama was a failure because he couldn't save his best friend, Madara Uchiha, thus continuing the cycle of hatred and the reincarnation cycle. However, it's essential to understand the unique challenges faced by both Hashirama and Naruto and the burdens they carried.

Both Hashirama and Naruto found themselves thrust into extraordinary circumstances where they had to shoulder immense responsibilities. Hashirama, as one of the founding members of Konohagakure, was tasked with establishing peace among the warring clans. Naruto, on the other hand, inherited the role of the Seventh Hokage and had the daunting task of uniting the shinobi world.

When it comes to their relationships with their closest friends, the parallels between Hashirama's bond with Madara and Naruto's bond with Sasuke Uchiha become evident. Both Madara and Sasuke were driven by deep-seated hatred and sought to bring about radical change through their own means. Hashirama's inability to save Madara from succumbing to darkness is often cited as his failure, just as Naruto struggled to save Sasuke from the path of vengeance.

However, it is important to consider the complexities of these relationships. Hashirama and Naruto faced tremendous emotional and physical obstacles while trying to bring their friends back to the right path. Their unwavering belief in the power of friendship and their willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of their loved ones demonstrated their true strength.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the cycle of hatred and conflict is deeply rooted in the world of Naruto, stretching back generations. While Hashirama couldn't break this cycle, his efforts paved the way for Naruto to continue the struggle for peace. Hashirama's founding of Konohagakure and his vision for cooperation among the clans set the foundation for Naruto's mission to unite the shinobi world.

In conclusion, the notion that Hashirama Senju failed as some believe is a matter of interpretation. While he couldn't save Madara and end the cycle of hatred during his time, his contributions and ideals played a vital role in shaping the path that Naruto would eventually walk. By examining Hashirama's legacy and understanding the intricate similarities between him and Naruto, we can appreciate the significance of his role in the Naruto universe

There is still this big misconception about Hashirama and whether he failed or is a “failed Naruto”. I’m gonna keep this brief because it can be an extensive topic if you want it to be.

So basically the main points are he didn’t break the cycle of hatred and save Madara from the darkness while Naruto on other hand was able to save Sasuke.

I disagree with the statement that he’s a failed Naruto on account of three things.

1, he’s not Naruto, he’s Hashirama. 2, Hashirama was faced with different circumstances, including the person he had to save, Madara Uchiha and how different he is from Sasuke Uchiha. And 3 , this is my own narrative perspective from the story and it’s that it was never Hashirama’a purpose to break the cycle of hatred and save Madara from a narrative standpoint.

Point 1 and 2 can pretty much go together and what I mean by that is that Hashirama isn’t Naruto and he wasn’t faced with the same circumstances or obstacles as Naruto. Hashirama and Madara came from a period were adults and children were in constant state of warring and this would cause both of these two to develop personalities that would be drastically different from Naruto and Sasuke and to take it on an even deeper level, Hashirama and Madara would be different as well. Just because they grew up during the same period doesn’t mean they lived the same lives and were affected by things the same way. Madara became so jaded by the world he grew up in and saw no hope in the dream that he and Hashirama had created together that it would be impossible to convince him to return the light.

Madara even attest to this himself when he’s dying after the ten tails extraction and tells Hashirama that he has always been an optimist after Hashirama tells them that they don’t have to accomplish their dreams in their life time and they can leave it to future generations to accomplish. Remember this point because it’s important to the overall argument. But Madara was right, Hashirama has always been an optimist even proving my point further that Hashirama was not shaped the same way Madara was due to their upbringing in their war torn era.

For point 3, I truly believe Hashirama was never meant to break the cycle of hatred. I believe his role was to build the foundation for characters to build off of, he shaped the village in a way that would become the focal point to Naruto and many others before him like Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Minato, and Kakashi to shaping their ideals and passing them on to the next generation. Hashirama, like I said before literally says something that attest to this thought. When he told Madara what I said before. That their dreams don’t need to accomplished in their life time, that they can pass them down to the next generation. Hashirama didn’t only pass dont the will of the fire but his hopes and dreams of peace which will shape every character who came after him in some way, whether it be directly or indirectly through someone else.

He purpose was to nurture the future generations as much as he could and leave the rest to the future generations to accomplish.

I go into much further detail in my video and I hope you all give it a watch and tell me what you think as it’s broken down much better in that format!

Eren Jaeger: The Perils of Complacency and Sacrifice in the Pursuit of Freedom

To find out more about Eren Jaeger and the Founding Titan watch the video! Reblog, thank you!

The Founding Titan Explained: Analyzing the Role of Complacency and Sacrifice | Attack on Titan

youtube

Introduction: Eren Jaeger, the central protagonist of the popular manga and anime series "Attack on Titan," is a complex character driven by an unwavering desire for freedom. Throughout the series, Eren's journey showcases the perils of complacency and the sacrifices he makes to achieve his vision of liberation. This analysis delves into Eren's transformation, his complacency with his dream of freedom, and how it ultimately drives him to make profound sacrifices.

I. The Pursuit of Freedom: Eren Jaeger's yearning for freedom stems from the harsh realities of living within the walls, a confined and oppressive world where humanity is hunted by the Titans. Witnessing the devastation caused by these creatures fuels Eren's determination to break free from the constraints that keep humanity trapped. This desire shapes his character and becomes his central motivation.

II. Complacency and the Idealized Dream: As Eren grows older, he begins to develop a sense of complacency with his idealized dream of freedom. This complacency emerges from his belief that achieving freedom would solve all of humanity's problems, overlooking the complexities and sacrifices that accompany such ambitions. Eren becomes fixated on his vision of a utopian society outside the walls, neglecting the potential consequences and the ethical implications of his actions.

III. The Dark Path of Sacrifice: Driven by his complacency, Eren embarks on a path of sacrifice, willing to compromise his own humanity to attain his goals. He becomes increasingly ruthless, using violence as a means to eliminate any obstacle in his way. Eren's disregard for the lives of others, including his own comrades, highlights the dangerous lengths he is willing to go to secure freedom.

IV. Ethical Dilemmas and Collateral Damage: Eren's complacency blinds him to the ethical dilemmas surrounding his actions. He believes that the ends justify the means, even if it entails immense collateral damage. This morally grey perspective leads him to make choices that cause immeasurable suffering and destruction, all in the name of achieving his version of freedom.

V. The Breaking Point: As Eren's complacency grows, it reaches a breaking point, forcing him to confront the consequences of his choices. The sacrifices he makes begin to take a toll on his mental and emotional well-being, challenging his unwavering commitment to his dream of freedom. This introspection highlights the inherent flaws in his approach and prompts him to question the true cost of his actions.

VI. Redemption and Reflection: Ultimately, Eren's journey serves as a cautionary tale, showcasing the dangers of complacency and the sacrifices required to achieve an idealized dream. As the series progresses, he begins to question the validity of his actions, the morality of his choices, and the true nature of freedom. This reflection sets the stage for potential redemption and personal growth, offering a glimmer of hope for Eren's character arc.

Conclusion: Eren Jaeger's complacency with his dream of freedom drives him down a dark path of sacrifice, blinding him to the ethical dilemmas and collateral damage caused by his actions. As he pursues his vision of liberation, Eren's transformation serves as a cautionary tale, demonstrating the consequences of unchecked idealism. While Eren's journey may be fraught with mistakes and tragedy, it provides an opportunity for introspection and growth, presenting valuable lessons about the dangers of complacency and the sacrifices inherent in the pursuit of freedom.

Ymir Fritz was a significant figure in the lore of the manga and anime series "Attack on Titan." According to the story, Ymir was the first Titan shifter and the progenitor of all Titans. She gained her powers after making a pact with the "Source of All Organic Matter" while she was a slave.

Ymir's story is intertwined with the concept of sacrifice. After obtaining her Titan powers, Ymir was enslaved by the Eldian King Fritz for over 1,700 years. During this time, she was used as a tool to build the Eldian Empire, and her powers were exploited by the ruling class. Ymir endured immense suffering and was seen as nothing more than a means to an end.

The theme of sacrifice becomes more prominent when Ymir's fate is revealed. It is revealed that Ymir had been continuing to serve the royal bloodline of the Eldian people even after her death. She was trapped in a state of perpetual servitude, bound by her loyalty to the royal family. This sacrificial act allowed the Eldian empire to maintain its power and dominance over the world for centuries.

However, Ymir's story takes a pivotal turn when she encounters Eren Yeager, the protagonist of the series. Through Eren's actions and influence, Ymir begins to question her role and the cycle of sacrifice she has been trapped in. Ultimately, she plays a crucial role in the climax of the story, breaking free from her chains and making a final choice that shapes the fate of the world.

In summary, Ymir Fritz is a character in "Attack on Titan" whose story revolves around sacrifice. She is the original Titan and endures centuries of enslavement and suffering to serve the Eldian empire. Her actions and choices play a significant role in the narrative, leading to a climactic moment where she breaks free from her sacrificial chains.

Attack on Titan Analysis: Theme of Complacency and Sacrifice - Revealing the Role of the Founding Titan and Its Inheritors

youtube

Greetings! Welcome back to my Attack on Titan project after a long absence! This is my most significant undertaking yet, possibly surpassing the other nine projects, including the Attack Titan, which might be just as long or even longer.

In this analysis, I explore how the role of the Founding Titan and its inheritors relates to the themes of complacency and sacrifice. These themes are prevalent throughout the story, whether through the inheritors' own choices, the impositions placed upon them, their resistance to change, or their ability to envision something beyond their current predicament.

Each inheritor expresses these concepts in their unique ways, but they are all linked through the Founding Titan/Coordinate power and share a common aspiration for peace. Their approaches range from conquering lands under their masters' influence to advocating for the extinction of their own race or the entire outside world beyond Paradis Island.

Let's begin with Ymir Fritz, who became a slave to the Eldian Empire and eventually gained the power of the Titans, becoming the first Founding Titan. As a slave, she obediently followed King Fritz's commands to eliminate Marley's enemies. Throughout her life, Ymir remained complacent, tirelessly serving the king in hopes of gaining his recognition. However, the king viewed her as nothing more than a mere slave. Despite her overwhelming power, he granted her the last name Fritz as a gift and made her bear his children. Ymir not only sacrificed her body to have his children but also protected him from an enemy spear, sacrificing her own life. The king's treatment of her as a slave extinguished her will to live. Even in the afterlife, Ymir continued to sacrifice and remain complacent for 2000 years, faithfully following the orders of the royal bloodline.

King Fritz, consumed by his obsession with maintaining the strength of his empire, forced his daughters to consume Ymir's body after her death, attempting to preserve the power of the Titans and the growth of his dominion. When Karl Fritz succeeded the crown, he grew despondent due to the Empire's history. During the Great Titan War, he conspired with the Tybur family to create the false hero, Helos, and put an end to the Eldian Empire. Karl Fritz retreated to Paradis Island with some of his subjects, erecting the colossal walls to protect his people. He threatened the world with the rumbling, should anyone disrupt the peace of his island. However, it was all a fabrication, and he declared that if Marley ever grew powerful enough to attack his people, he would accept it. Only those who inherited the Founding Titan from him were aware of this truth due to the vow renouncing war that Karl Fritz instituted, causing members of the royal family to remain inactive.

The history of the world plays a crucial role in the convoluted narrative. People's ignorance of the true history prevents them from questioning certain events and leads to actions that later become regrettable, as I will discuss further in the post.

Karl Fritz's display of sacrifice and complacency stems from his belief that the Eldian Empire's sins are too great to be atoned. He enforces these qualities on the future inheritors of the Founding Titan within the royal bloodline through the vow renouncing war, forcing them to adopt his beliefs. This passive nature, induced by the vow, condemns his subjects to possible extinction and hinders the royal family's ability to act.

Enter Grisha Yeager, who emerges to take the Founding Titan from the royal bloodline in a bid to bring peace to his people. Motivated by the death of his sister and the fall of his comrades, Grisha embarks on this mission, even though he initially considers giving up for the sake of his second son.

Grisha learns about his ancestor Ymir's history, albeit only half of it, which further fuels his determination. His goal is to secure freedom for Eldia, but he cannot escape the sacrifices he has made along the way, including those of his sister, comrades, and wife. He grows complacent in his beliefs and eventually decides to proceed with his plan, driven by the influence of his second son, Eren.

After inheriting the Founding Titan, Eren becomes fixated on his goal, much like the previous inheritors, to the point where he is willing to do anything to achieve it. He aims to protect his friends and ensure their long and prosperous lives by initiating the rumbling. Eren becomes complacent in his unwavering pursuit, disregarding the pleas of his two closest friends, and sacrifices numerous lives, including that of his dear friend Sasha Blouse, whom he wanted to protect.

He continues sacrificing lives, both directly and indirectly, in his quest and ultimately sacrifices his own life. Eren's true objective is to bring about peace, whether by annihilating everyone beyond Paradis Island or by forcing those who despise the Eldian Devils to witness his defeat.

For a more detailed analysis, I invite you to watch the accompanying video. It delves into the subject matter extensively and presents a cohesive exploration. Despite being a lengthy script due to the extensive research involved, it translates better in video format, offering a more thematic experience.

Matrix Analysis - The Sinister Call Of The Blue Pill

youtube

Hello again. So recently with the rise of popularity centered around the matrix, I figured I'd make a video and small discussion based around the movie concepts and how it applies to the world we currently live in today... with the main focus being the blue pill and the red pill and what they inherently mean when applying it to our actual reality.

As we know in the movie the matrix a blue pill refers to a human who is not aware of the false reality the matrix is, a red pill is the polar opposite... it refers to a human who is aware of the true nature of the matrix and the false reality that it places upon you.

When it comes to our world, I relate the blue pill to the script laid out for most individuals today. What I mean by that is the blue pill/script would be the life that is preached to a majority of people to live by... most typically being "go to school, get a job, get a wife" and or the false spread of information or information that doesn't matter to keep you distracted. It goes even deeper too.

On the other hand, the red pill is basically a person "waking up" from this narrative of a life laid out for you. It allows one to understand that there are more avenues to life than the one you may have been preached, that there's more information to a scenario with the spread of information. Unfortunately, with the red pill route, it opens up other avenues of information you yourself may have not been privy to before hand.

With this spread of new information comes the burden of navigating life in a completely different way. It makes the journey a great deal harder to abide by. Most people aren't prepared for such a journey thus comes the sinister call... of the blue pill. In the movie The Matrix, Cypher betrays his allies to go back into the matrix because he believes ignorance to be bliss, he believes that the journey is not worth it and that it's too hard, thus would rather be ignorant to the reality around him and go on living his life as planned out within the Matrix.

Many people in our reality truly wish they could do the same thing, that they wouldn't have become privy to the information they've come to learn and thus I refer to it as a sinister call because unlike the movie we can't actually take a pill to forget what we've come to learn. That begs the question...was waking up worth it to begin with.

Please watch the video as I dive deeper into the matter!

Reblog as well! Thank you!

Deconstructing Makima

youtube

Makima has been a character that I believe the majority of people adored at one point because of her calm demeaner and alluring nature. She has always been shown to be very mysterious and left scenes where it felt like there was always a deeper meaning behind her presence there in the first place. From her interactions with her allies and her enemies; it always felt like something was lurking underneath the facade she put up. We see her and her former allies in plenty of situations where the outcome was always unfavorable but in hindsight it either didn't matter or helped lead to her main goal.

She wanted to control Chainsaw Man. For this to be a possibility she had to build Denji up and break him down.

She had to make Chainsaw Man a hero in order to weaken the fear that humans would have of him, thus weakening Chainsaw Man. As we all should know, devils are only as strong as the fear that comes with their name/concept. In this weakened state she was able to beat chainsaw man down quite easily. She wanted to control him so she could use his power to presumably create a better world. She wanted to get rid of concepts such as Death, War, and Hunger. We know these are 3 of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse and Makima being the control devil was the last member of that group.

This group fought Chainsaw Man before but now she wanted to use Chainsaw man's power to get rid of those concepts, to erase them from existence. Chainsaw man has the unique ability to erase the names and concepts of things from existence when he devours a devil bearing that name and representing that concept. She proved this by asking Kishibe about several things humanity should've never forgotten about and yet he was unable to recall and let alone even believe the things she was listing off ever existed to begin with. He even states a power like that couldn't be possible.

Even though Makima eventually ends up defeating Chainsaw Man, Denji comes back to defeat her. We truly realize the person Makima claimed to be was a lie when Denji ask her if the perfect world she's trying to create would have boring movies and she said a world were boring movies doesn't exist would be a good thing. This was something Denji and Makima supposedly bonded over earlier on in the series and I believe that this was truly the point where Denji knew he had to kill her. Before this scene he actually says he's the worst because he still liked Makima. With how ridiculous it sounds, it truly is the case.

We never got to see the world she truly envisioned due to her being defeated but I wanted to ask do you think she truly would've helped humanity? Do you think Nayuta will regain the memories of Makima in the future? If she does what would a be result of it?

Video underneath that explains it more! Pls reblog!

Why Naruto failed as Hokage

I'm finally diving into one of my favorite series! Unfornately it's concerning a topic that doesn't paint the main character is the best light. Naruto Uzumaki is actually one of my favorite characters and when it comes to this it's more complex an argument that you would initially think as it all boils down to things just not being in his control and other priorities as well.

So why do I think Naruto has failed as Hokage? He hasn't done anything to fix the corrupt shinobi system he was born into and the five kage alliance he is now apart of is fickle. The most evidence we have of this or at least to my knowledge is in Shikamaru's light novel. In Shikamaru shinden, the Land of Flowers is about to be invaded by the land of earth on the orders of the Earth Daiymo. Due to the relations of the Hidden cloud village and Land of Flowers, it wouldn't be feasible to due this without their being or expecting conflict.

This invasion would be the precipice to starting the fifth great shinobi war, which Shikamaru foresaw. A five kage summit would before anything extreme were to happen and after the Tsuchikage would make extreme demands from Naruto, wanting all of the classified information Konoha possessed because of the actions of Sasuke Uchiha.

During this Five Kage summit, a suspicious Shikamaru's fears are confirmed when Chojuro (Mizukage) , who's on the side of the Tsuchikage Interjects and Says a world without conflict has no need for Shinobi. This causes Shikamaru to restrain every Kage in the room with his Shadow Possession jutsu and before any more action is taken Naruto puts a stop to everything with his extreme power.

This treaty between the Kage is feeble and can be broken easily under the right circumstances. It's clear the only thing keeping a hold on the treaty is Power Imbalance, Mutual Interest (when involved), and mutual threats such as the Otsutsuki Clan. There is no true peace in Naruto Era as Hokage and the shinobi system is still the same as it's always been as in the same novel Shikamaru would visit Ohnoki and he tells Shikamaru...Shinobi are Shinobi.

The shinobi system was designed to protect children and clans from dying in meaningless wars but as we know this was just never the case; when the shinobi village were established there were 4 great Ninja wars with the deaths of many children and the eradication of many clans along the way IE Uchiha Massacre which was done by one of it's own kind because of his belief within the Shinobi system and undying Loyalty to Konoha and the Uzumaki Massacre, which 4 great villages acted together just to see them disappear.

This all leads up to Boruto and how eventually even Naruto's son embodies the will of the corrupt shinobi system that Naruto failed to change. After Sasuke tells Boruto he and Naruto are willing to die for the village at any time...Boruto would willingly give his life to protect everyone....a decision he should've never had to make. With all of these reason's this is how Naruto failed as Hokage.

Naruto's main foes such as Nagato, Obito, Madara, and Sasuke all had plans to change the shinobi world and get rid of the Karmic cycle that dwelled within it, although the means to doing so was not good at all, they had answers nonetheless. Naruto was too idealistic and believed in the words of his former master Jiraiya wthout ever truly coming to an answer....just as when Nagato asked Naruto how would he bring peace and rid the shinobi world of its hatred. Naruto says he doesn't know, that he doesn't have an answer.

And we see in Boruto... he still doesn't.

Watch my video for my full thoughts on the matter. Thank you!

The meaning of the Beast Titan.

I wanted to go more in depth from my last post about Tom Ksaver, Zeke Yeager, and their Beast Titan. I explained why their titan represents passion and determination but I wanted to add on to what I said beforehand. When done with this, it should be thoroughly explained why I believe this to be the case... at least in my most simplest terms and if you want more info then the video is a great reference.

As we know Tom Ksaver had a wife who was Marlyan and they bore a child together. The day she found out he was of Eldian descent, she ended up taking the life of their child and her own shortly afterward. After this event, Tom Ksaver always harbored a great amount of guilt and had always wondered how much better it would’ve been if he hadn’t been born into such a cruel world.

This Revelation only came to light after him and Zeke had a conversation about the founding titan and it’s abilities to manipulate the bodies of the subjects of Ymir, no matter where they were in the world and Zeke asking would it be possible to Eldians no longer be able to bear children with this power. Zeke’s thought came from finding out about the founding Titans Abilities and how much power it held over the subjects of Ymir and after finding this out he remembers a moment of discrimination from a Marleyan man during his childhood.

You see the passion for this concept of not having to exist in such a cruel world always existed deep within Ksaver and Zeke brought it to light with his question of the founding titan. This passion always lied dormant within Zeke as well due to the upbringing he experienced, whether it was with the family that tried to force their beliefs on him or the how the world around him treat him due to the blood that flowed through his veins.

Zeke would do countless reprehensible to get closer to his goal, such as slaughtering the scouts; who were Eldians....the same people he wanted to save from this world and betray him Marleyan comrades; moreso the warriors and bring great destruction to Liberio. To Zeke, the ends justified the means. He also acknowledges this in the panel before his death when he says

As Desperate as Zeke was he comes to the realization that he never wanted anything other than a regular life and that he would’ve been happy playing catch forever and living again if he could play catch with Ksaver forever and to double down on this he even ends up thanking Grisha, the father he hated for so long. His true passion was always to live a normal life and just experience the small moments in life that were truly precious

Two put it short, Zeke did truly believe the end of suffering for Eldians was to disappear from their world, as he says he doesn’t believe the dream Tom Ksaver and he had wrong and he was truly passionate about it. But below the surface he always desired to just be normal and the evidence we had for that was not only his conversation with Armin

But two examples from his childhood as well....

Watch the video for a more thorough analysis!

The Passion and Determination of the Beast Titan

Hello everyone! It's been quite awhile. For those of you who know and or recognize me, then you know I talk about the representations of what titans and their shifters represent within the world of Attack on Titan; for example how the Attack Titan represents freedom.

Today I finally finished with the Beast Titan and as always I have a video to go along with it to explore the majority of my thoughts! But, as always I give a small description of what I think on certain spaces. Anyway... researching the Beast Titan and both shifters we know of; Zeke Yeager and Tom Ksaver, I came to the conclusion that these two and moreso their titan represent passion and determination.

Over the course of their lives, they both have experienced traumatic things that lead them to the same conclusion that the world they reside in is pure suffering and as Eren once said "A hell to be saved from". Tom Ksaver lost his family because he was an Eldian and Zeke experienced extreme prejudice and had beliefs forced on him because he was an Eldian. They both lived extremely tragic lives that led them to think, it would've been better to have not been born than to suffer because of the blood that flows through their veins.

Zeke, with that thought in his mind wants to save everyone. Eldians from their suffering and everyone else from their fear of titans. Zeke literally dedicated his life to this goal and even took the risk of almost ending himself with a thunderspear to achieve it. He literally would betray everyone and everything to him in order to achieve this goal and Ksaver up until his dying day egged him on that this goal was correct.

They were both resolute with this goal in mind. What makes them passionate and determined about this goal are the things they would do in order to carry it out. Betraying friends and family, Zeke desperately looking for a reason to save Eren because of his childhood that still haunts him, and even when devoured he basically tells Armin to give up and stop fighting against fear (meaning the end of your species in the context in which it was used).

I can't do what I actually say in the video justice through text because it was so much to delve into, literally having to take every interaction he's had and everything he's done into account, because as Pieck said; "he always told lies" Which was a major piece of what not only defined him but the extent of what he was willing to do. If you all don't mind to watch the video and let me know what you think either here on tumblr or in the comment section I would love to discuss this more with people actually interested!

Titan Shifters Ranked!

HELLO EVERYONE! So I made a ranking of each and every Titan Shifter in the series that we know of. I feel like my ranking is pretty accurate based on the qualities they are ranked on such as: Fighting potential/ability, Intelligence, the way abilities are typically used by the characters, and the character’s over all competence. From this alone, the first few should be fairly obvious but as the list goes on it could get a bit more argumentative based on how you look at the characters and how you interpret things they do/have done.

I’ll give you an example with Marcel and Ymir. I personally put Ymir above Marcel for the reason of him being a military trained individual but was quickly devoured even though he had the ability to take down an entire nation alongside his Marleyan Warriors. Ymir herself was not trained in the usage of her titan but has displayed feats such as fighting titans which posed more of a threat than Marcel’s take down of a nation due to the fact that the artillery used wasn’t anti titan, as we see Reiner was able to block it without any difficulty and Annie was free running around that battlefield without an issue.

Another example would be Grisha beating Frieda even though she possessed the Founding Titan, which is basically god of the Eldian Race. There’s a lot of idiosyncrasies with there’s characters and the way you can interpret actions based on the context of the story or just the character’s in general but I’m fairly sure my list is correct and I would love to see how you all feel about it and if you have any differing opinions then definitely offer them. I’m interested to see what you all think!

Why Kenny Ackerman is important in Attack on Titan

HELLO EVERYONE, so I was wanted to start a discussion on why Kenny is important in Attack on Titan! I believe he served to purposes, the symbolism for moving forward and to ultimately not be a slave to one's desire. Kenny actively sought power all for the sake of maybe becoming a compassionate man because of it, but to be more specific he wanted the founding titan like Uri Reiss. He believed attaining this power would make he become someone like Uri, and this belief was only hardened after he saw Frieda inherit the power and how she became. He became obsessed with it and while he was not the best person in the world he would still actively do horrible things all in an effort to attain this dream of his.

I believe this validates or shows the theme of having a goal to fight towards in this show and we know two characters who also fit in this criteria. Eren and Reiner; they both tried to attain their goals no matter what lied ahead, no matter the outcome but for Reiner he eventually came to senses afterwards. I believe Kenny is supposed to show how chasing after a dream is the only way to push forward in their cruel world and it's only validated more by his words of everyone being drunk on something and everyone was a slave to something. This is something I'm sure everyone knows all to well,. it's not hard to miss at all. The more interesting piece is that I believe he also is supposed to symbolize letting go of one's dream, not being a slaved or obsessed with one's desire, especially at the expense of yourself. He was eventually able to let go and gave Levi the titan spinal fluid he considered using on himself.

I believe a lot of people left confused with that scene and didn't fully understand the meaning of it and at first I didn't either as we know it's more than just becoming a pure titan like Rod. He let go of his dream and he was able to move on because of it. He knew what would happen if he injected himself by becoming a pure titan and not an intelligent one, as he directly stated but

I truly believe he was able to let go of that dream of chasing power, the obsession. This directly correlates to the sacrifices of Erwin and Armin as they were able to let go of their dreams and move on for the sake of others. I believe he truly does symbolize not becoming a slave to one's desires. Does anyone agree? I also made a small video going into more detail and if you could watch and let me know I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!

The Camaraderie of the Cart Titan Pieck Finger!

HELLO EVERYONE, it's me once again for another discussion post. This time around I made a video and also this post regarding Pieck and her Cart Titan and how she represents camaraderie within Attack on Titan. She is shown to care deeply for her comrades, questions the decisions made from the Marleyan military about sending four children to infiltrate the walls and retrieve the founding titan, and how she puts herself at constant risk, even against one of her own allies Gabi Braun trying to bail both of them out and save both of their lives when confronted by Eren Jaeger. I go into massive detail and in the video and if you don't want to watch the video it's completely fine! You can let me know if what she's done throughout the series hits the mark of her representing camaraderie on this post! Whether it be with the points I've brought up or others that you may have picked up that I missed but I also go into detail about her complex relationship with Zeke Yeager as well and why she fought along someone she always suspected to be telling lie and lie. Definitely let me know what you think for sure! Would greatly appreciate it :D

Historia Reiss - The Selfish Queen

HELLO EVERYONE! So I want to start a discussion and share my video regarding Historia and her unique character. She has undertones of being selfish, a direct contrast to Freckled Ymir who thought she was Selfish but ultimately ended being one of, if not, the most selfless character in the series. I talk about her personal relationships, for example with her father, freckled Ymir and Eren and why she is indeed the most selfish character in the series or at least more selfish than we initially believed her to be. If you could watch and see my points expanded upon and discuss with me whether you agree with me or disagree to some degree PLEASE LET ME KNOW! and for those who know of me MY AUDIO ISNT EAR DESTROYING ANYMORE but seriously I would appreciate a good discussion, it's always fun to dive into characters in this series! :D
