But unlike any other character in the series who went through similarly terrible backstories, Kakashi never became a villain of the series. He never used his trauma to justify extreme measures against the world.

Another character like this is Itachi. But in my opinion, Itachi's trauma isn't quite as harsh, simply because Itachi made the choice. He knew what he had to do in order to save Konoha, and did it. Was it terrible? Yeah.

But Itachi chose his trauma. Kakashi basically had the world step on him over and over again. He didn't choose it, he was just trying to live a proper life as a Shinobi. Itachi endured punishment that he chose, while Kakashi endured repeated punishment that the world just threw at him.

So yeah, Kakashi is my favourite because he has ridiculous emotional endurance, and he's just a cool character too. do you really need to write an essay no one will read, Dude jus say kakashi and leave it at that, no one cares enough to read that shit
