The Most Hated Characters in Naruto and Demon Slayer

In both the popular manga series Naruto and Demon Slayer, several antagonists have earned the ire of fans and characters alike. However, two stand out as particularly hated figures: Obito Uchiha from Naruto and Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer.

Naruto: Obito Uchiha

Obito Uchiha, a former member of the Uchiha clan and a close friend of Madara Uchiha, has garnered a considerable amount of disdain from fans. Obito first enters the stage as a manipulative figure who actions are driven by a misguided ideology and personal tragedy. His manipulation of events and subsequent involvement in the Fourth Great Ninja War as the primary antagonist often causes immense pain and suffering to numerous characters. Despite the initial forging of the Alliance between the Uchiha and the Uzumaki, Obito's true nature is revealed, leading to his isolating himself from his comrades and ultimately resulting in his tragic downfall. His multiple deaths and comebacks, each with a new persona, add to the complexity and complexity of his character, making him a figure of intense hatred.

Demon Slayer: Muzan Kibutsuji

Muzan Kibutsuji, the main antagonist of Demon Slayer, is often regarded as one of the most hated figures in the series. His ruthless nature, manipulation of others, and the sheer number of lives he has taken make him a formidable and despised foe. As the first and original evil, Muzan's power and influence have permeated the demons, a group of beings born from his blood. His disdain for humanity and desire to eradicate all humans has fueled the efforts of the Heavens Demon Slayer Corps to defeat him. Muzan's eventual defeat in the series is a bittersweet victory, as the cost of his destruction is immense, reaffirming the mortal nature of the characters and the harsh realities they face.

Danzo from Naruto and Kaigaku from Demon Slayer

The most hated characters from Naruto and Demon Slayer often go beyond Obito and Muzan, with Danzo Shimura from Naruto and Kaigaku Inosuke from the latter also earning significant ire. While Danzo is a complex figure with both redeemable and unredeemable aspects, often seen as blindly loyal to Konoha, Kaigaku is an incarnation of pure greed and corruption. Unlike Danzo, who had some semblance of good intentions, Kaigaku's actions are driven by an unyielding desire for power and control. His bitter and often antagonistic demeanor contributes to his easy placement among the most despised characters in both franchises.

Satisfying Moments: Obito's Death

For many Naruto fans, one of the most satisfying moments in the series is undoubtedly Obito's death at the hands of Sasuke. Obito's manipulative and contradictory nature, often oscillating between benevolence and cruelty, made his defeat during the Fourth Great Ninja War a deeply satisfying moment. Sasuke's determination to fulfill his promise to Obito, even in the face of betrayal, adds an emotional depth to the scene, making it a significant turning point in the series and leaving a lasting impact on the audience.

Overall, these characters serve as a representation of the darker aspects of human (or demon) nature, challenging the audience to question the complex moral landscapes of both Naruto and Demon Slayer.
