When you get treated like a villian long enough you become the villian

[kozuki]

This man had the greatest anime entrance of all time and it’s not even close.

[NavidKhan]

The man was so powerful that he put everyone into filler episode for a year

[ElamparithiK]

Madara was so strong to a point that even the creator was unable to kill him properly.

_"In this world. Wherever there is Light - there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars. And hatred is born to protect love"_

- Uchiha Madara

[trinfamous]

Hashirama: maybe we can drink... as war buddies?

Madara: that doesn't sounds so ba...

"Power is not will, it is the phenomenon of physically making things happen."


-Madara Uchiha

Madara is one characters whose appearance lived up to his hype and boi, what an amount of hype he had.

[orealz]

It really pisses me off when people call anime childish when they know nothing about it. The depth of this is so real!

[kevinsjournal]

I was required to take 2 years of philosophy in school, I learned more through Naruto

“A man who is not loved by its village will burn it down just to feel it’s warmth.”

[cynthiawu]

from the moment I saw Madara (the real one, not Obito masquerading as Madara), I just felt a deep sense of heavy sadness. The tragedy of his character carries a lot of palpable weight. Here is a man who is "great" by all measures, even from childhood. He has talent and skill. He has immeasurable love for family. He is smart. He has a dream to make a better world. He has integrity and honor. And yet at every single moment in history, he is crushed. He gets back up and is crushed again. He tries so hard and keeps getting the short end of the stick. And we witness this unrelenting beat down chip away at him over an immeasurable amount of time. Chronologically, we are introduced to him first when he meets Hashirama as children. Hashirama is shown to be just always slightly better than him in all their competitions but he harbors no dark jealousy or sense of inferiority. He enjoys their rivalry (all the way to the end of his reanimated then resurrected life). In fact I don't think he was ever truly happier than when he was fighting with his friend, his best and only friend. He has lost FOUR brothers in battle and yet does not blindly hate the other side. I don't think he actually demonstrates hatred of any kind despite the war time tragedies (similar and even lesser tragedies have spawned hatred in so many other Naruto characters). He even witnesses his best friend's younger brother kill his last remaining brother and I have to give it to Madara for never ONCE talking about or acting out any kind of vengeance. He does finally state one time after Edo Tensei when Tobirama is impaled that he had thought about doing that for a while but his expression is not hatred or anger. Just sadness. When Uchiha vs Senju ends in his defeat, he finally tries again to build the dream village with Hashirama but the dream is always going to be more hollow for him since his main goal was to make a place where his brother could be safe. And that brother is already dead. yet he still tries to build the dream. He is never fully accepted in this village though and even loses the trust of his own clan over time. Hokage is dangled in front of him but given to Hashirama. Yet he doesn't express jealousy or anger to Hashirama. Just, again, this continued and mounting frustration and sadness. He leaves and comes back but is defeated again and ultimately left alone in an underground cave, withering away and forgotten. And despite all this, when he is revived, he still demonstrates a great deal of integrity in his battles. He acknowledges his opponents powers (not just Hashirama but Tsunade, Guy, Naruto, etc). He still doesn't display anger, hatred, sadistic behaviour. He still ultimately wants to create a peaceful future, delusional as his means may be at this point. And he still seems to only be happy when he is fighting Hashirama or someone who reminds him of Hashirama (like Guy's fight). The only thing in his life that he looked forward to, that wasn't taken away from him, that wasn't soured or destroyed. That ongoing rivalry with his best friend. I never saw Madara as evil. Just a figure tragically ground down by the gears of a fate that never let him win.

Madara: *Imma 'bout to put all y'all to sleep.*

[SpammytheHedgehog]

All Madara really wanted was for everyone to literally stop fighting.

Betrayed by the clan
Betrayed by obito
Betrayed by Zetsu
Most of all, Betrayed by Kishimoto..

"Do not misunderstand it. This is not power of your creation!" : Madara Uchiha

Man I love that line when sending two meteors at the allied shinobi force.

[Salemwaaa]

“When a man learns to feel love he must also bear the risk of hate”
That’s one of my favorite quotes because he had to hide the love and friendship behind for a plan of conquest and peace in order to make it real

[aliibrahim]

" Talking about peace while spilling blood is something only humans can do!" Madara uchiha

Edit : thanks for all these likes!

Imagine in the last episode of boruto we see madara beside the moon smiling
