#not even the most powerful genjutsu could make Sasuke genuinely interested in Ino or make Sai realistically straight

ROUND ONE

DEIDARA vs UCHIHA ITACHI

Reasons for submission under the cut

Deidara

he is an artist!

his clay models are cute, fun and dynamic!

cool hairstyle and sick eyeliner job

set up the mood for the rest of Shippuden with his introduction + fight with Gaara

4 mouths

wants to kill Oonoki

anti-nationalist

bombed several lands just for kicks

likes to appreciate art

faced Gai and his team ARMLESS armed with a kunai IN HIS MOUTH and escaped mostly unscathed

NANOBOMBS

trained one eye to counter attack genjutsus

likes birds and winged animals

fought against Sasuke (A HUGE honor of any character Kishi could have thrown at him he chose his GOAT 🫡)

deranged blue eyed blonde representation

can make his mouth hands make out anytime he wants, power move of the century

caught a Jinchuriki and a Bijuu all by himself

wears a crop top

wears black nail polish

lost both arms and didn't bat an eye

almost strangled Obito

explodes anytime he wants

beefed with Itachi

wanted to kill Orochimaru

long haired men

hates the government

he's annoying to everyone

youngest akatsuki member

hilarious one liners

intelligent, strategic, dramatic, hot, cool

looks like Ino

Itachi

he has one of the most compelling, gut-wrenching and beautiful sibling relationships in the entire anime

despite showing it in a peculiar way he does love Sasuke and honestly that's based

not to sound like a dudebro but his jutsu is honestly incredible and his fights are very interesting and entertaining to watch. Susano’o in particular is very beautiful as well

created Easter Kakashi. Lol

an incredibly intriguing and complex character, there's so many layers to Itachi and all of them are sad

he was groomed from the age of four because the Konoha Elders saw that he had such an intense reaction to witnessing war and realized that they could make use of that

loved his family deeply despite it all

is the reason behind one of the best plot lines and character (Sasuke) of the anime

he gave up his entire life because he thought this was the only way to guarantee Sasukes safety

he stayed with the akatsuki solely so that he could keep an eye on Konoha and Sasuke and to prevent the akatsuki from harming Sasuke by attacking Konoha

pushed Sasuke to his limit in their fight just to be able to get Orochimaru out of Sasuke for good

"you've studied a lot. You're like a snake expert now" is SO funny and he was so genuine about it

he was SO young and had so many voices telling him traumatizing things left and right, and that he was the only solution on both sides

truly genuinely made as one of the most heart breaking characters and character relations to exist

eye bags are real and relatable

men with long hair

bro's GORGEOUS

he was traumatized and manipulated since his childhood and deserved sm better

he just wanted to make eggs for his lil brother!

idiot fool boy

he's supposed to be a genius but his emotional intelligence is in the negatives

even his father recognized that he was a good kid and had good intentions when he found out about what Itachi was doing

Neither Sai, nor Sasuke look remotely interested here at all. They look like they are reading off of a script. This is amazing.
