I tend to be drawn to characters who don't have a ton of show-time, but still play a big part. Itachi was my favorite my first time through watching the series, but now that I've started watching it again and started making more connections about the story, I've realized that I really enjoy Zetsu. I love Itachi for the obvious (dark/mysterious, will of fire, his love for Sasuke, the twists in his character portrayal, etc.), but I was blown away when I realized Zetsu's involvement in the entire story, and I had a strange feeling since I first saw the underlying power struggle in the Akatsuki that there was someone pulling the strings in the background. I NEVER would have guessed it was as strange a character as Zetsu though. The two very opposite halves are funny together, and even though black Zetsu was technically the brains, white Zetsu still pulled off some pretty amazing jutsu near the end. He put so much effort into the revival of his mother, and he doesn't get much credit, so here I am, giving him his credit. Lol.
