sasuke's character is a whiny,
selfish, emo b***h and him wining this fight doesn't make him any less so.
Itachi's the one who killed his whole clan to gain power and saved his brother so he could gain ultimate power for himself.
Everyone's a Sasuke hater, stop jumping on the ******** bandwagon. >_>
That is probably because Sasuke is a horrible, flat, uninteresting character behind all the eye candy and neat tricks. In this manga, anyone can do cool combat tricks, so that's nothing special. As a character his is not good.
Just because his brother is more selfish doesn't make Sasuke any less so. he put his revenge and his wants before anything and everything else. And when his friends tried to help him he just pushed them away acting like no one could understand his pain when there are at least over 5 other people in this manga so far that had as equally screwed up/scarred childhoods.
That's probably the reason i found Orochimaru lacking as a villian as well as an annoying one, he had no real good motivation. He was just plain evil with no real reason for it, and that is just overused and boring. The man had it all when he was growing up, power, skill, praise, 'fangirls', etc. and he just suddenly is evil out of the blue.
Where as one of the better characters in general, and one of the best villians in this series, Sasori (ie: the tragic monster for those of you who don't recognize the arch-type). This guy was not always the way he was when we saw him. He was just a boy, and he just wanted his mom and dad. His early life screwed him up, made him callus.
And stop acting like it was a big deal that Sasuke is going to beat itachi, we all knew it was going to happen, just like we knew that Deidra was going down, because Kishi will not let him die until his entire revenge is complete.
