Kakashi: Usually, that's whoever yells the loudest.
Tsunade: Kakasi where is Naruto?
Kakasi: Somewhere disappointing Jesus.
Can we talk about Kakashi for a second please?
I see the argument a lot about whom in Naruto had that saddest life and the votes often sway between Naruto, Gaara and Sasuke… But I want to talk about Kakashi and why I believe he had the saddest life in the series. Naruto, Gaara and Sasuke may have had terrible childhoods but Kakashi’s overall life was terrible.
Here’s a rundown:
- He lost his Mother probably before he could speak.
- He grew up with just his Father and admired the hell out of him.
- His Father chose death over him and left him alone in the world at the age of 5.
- He hides his face. The assumption being he wants to be taken seriously at such a young age and now he does not want people to be reminded of his Father when they look at him.
- Instead of playing with his friends after the Academy he was forced to fish for his dinner and cook for himself.
- He spent his afternoons and weekends cleaning his huge empty house.
- He spent years saying hello and goodbye to no one because he was lonely and couldn’t accept how alone he felt.
- He slept in his kitchen. My assumption being because he felt too alone in his bedroom. It reminded him of a life he did not have anymore. A childhood.
- He was rejected by the adults of the village and forced to be teamed with people beneath him as no one wanted to work with him. How lonely.
- All he knew was what happened to his Father and what had caused it. Of course he was going to be a stickler for the rules after that incident.
- Being a stickler for the rules caused him to make a decision that cost him one of his only friends. This decision quite literally haunts him for the rest of his life.
- After vowing to protect Rin she decides to commit suicide by running in to his charged Chidori. This causes him to have PTSD and nightmares long in to his adulthood.
- He begins reading “how a Shinobi should die” a nod towards the fact that Kakashi himself is thinking of committing suicide. After all what does he have to live for?
- He withdraws completely from any attention his classmates give him. He despises himself and does not believe he is worthy of affection of any kind.
- He begins to put up walls and keep people at arm’s length. If he doesn’t love anyone, he can’t be sad when they die.
- His Sensei, the one precious person he has left decides that to mend his broken heart he will be assigned to the ANBU.
- Kakashi’s only purpose in life at this point is to work for the Village. He lives for the mission but Minato assigns him to guard Kushina. This no doubt gives Kakashi lots of time to think and dwell on his past mistakes.
- Minato is killed and Kakashi finally loses his last precious person. He withdraws in to himself once again. Continuing to have nightmares and flashbacks without the emotional support he needs to get through them.
- Kakashi makes another friend, Tenzo. Tenzo is then assigned to kill Kakashi and take his Sharingan. Luckily for Kakashi this works out alright in the end and they remain friendly.
- Kakashi becomes the Captain of team Ro and begins to relax a little. He even goes so far as to tell Itachi Uchiha that he is there for him if he needs to talk.
- Itachi Uchiha betrays Konoha, killing his entire Clan and defecting from the Leaf.
- Kakashi puts his walls back up, annoyed at himself for letting them down for such a vile human.
- Fast forward to Kakashi being forcefully pulled out of the ANBU and taken away from everything he has known for the last 12ish years.
- He is forced to teach children and he feels as though his ANBU subordinates are laughing at him. “The Genin Babysitter.”
- He enforces strict rules for the Genin passing his test. These rules have come from Kakashi once again taking a bad life experience and making it a lesson. This time it works for him.
- He rejects several teams for not understanding his criteria. This causes the Village to gossip about him. He earns the reputation of being a hard-ass.
- When he eventually does pass a team he does not think much of them. He sees his old team in them and quietly vows to not repeat the past.
- We see Kakashi soften slightly as he teaches these children. He learns things about himself and actually starts to enjoy life a little bit for the first time probably since his Father passed.
- Kakashi is trapped inside Itachi’s Tsukuyomi and physically tortured for 3 days straight. When he is woken up/heeled by Tsunade instead of being asked if he is alright, he is mocked by her for not being smarter.
- Kakashi tries his hardest to prevent Sasuke from leaving the Village but his called away for an important mission. Something he cannot help or refuse.
- He is blamed for Sasuke leaving, most heavily by himself.
- His last 2 students then proceed to leave him as well to be trained by people more superior to him.
- He feels overwhelming responsibly for Sasuke’s defection and he feels guilt that he did not give Naruto and Sakura the attention they deserved.
- The Village expected too much of this emotionally stunted ex-ANBU. He had no experience with children and frankly, he didn’t want it. He was forced in to his roll and then ridiculed for his inevitable failure.
- This goes for the fandom as well. Kakashi did the best he could for Sakura considering his circumstances. He focused on Sasuke because he was desperately trying to prevent him from becoming the adult Kakashi already was. He knew that someone else was a better fit for Sakura and he was probably actually happy when Tsunade took over her training because he had no idea what to teach her himself. This does not mean that he didn’t feel guilt though for not trying harder. He is always harder on himself than anyone else ever could be.
- Fast forward to Shippuden. Kakashi is wounded on their first mission back and forced to stay in the hospital as his team is led by his Kohai. In his eyes, Yamato is taking his place.
- He can no longer train Naruto by himself and if forced to enlist Yamato’s help.
- Kakashi is killed in battle. He died honourably and will not doubt have his name engraved on the stone next to his friend’s.
- He manages to speak with his Father, telling him he forgives him for what he has done. My take on this interaction is that as Kakashi himself has considered suicide in the past he feels he finally understands his Father’s pain and why he did what he did.
- He is revived and wakes up once again in the hellhole he calls earth.
- He finds out after Itachi is killed what really happened with him and is not allowed to react or talk about it. He no doubt feels even more guilt for not realising what was happening and being there for his friend.
- Fast forward to the war when it turns out that the person Kakashi had been mourning for roughly a decade was not actually dead. He stands up in front of the entire Shinobi population and tells them that this war is essentially Kakashi’s fault for killing Rin. Something he did not mean to do and had no control over. Something he had been completely destroyed by since the second it happened.
- He manages to reconcile with Obito and then has to watch him die once again, bringing back all that pain tenfold.
- After the war is over he is then forced in to a position he did not want. The Hokage. He could not refuse such an honour, but we all know he did not want the job.
- Kakashi, a man that lives for the mission forced to sit behind a desk and do paperwork for the rest of his young life. By this point he has grown enough that he might actually consider letting someone behind his walls. A time of peace, where he might finally have the time and freedom to find himself a partner. But he spends it behind a desk and remains single until well in to his forties (perhaps until he dies). We will never know.
Did I forget any-fucking-thing??
Yes Naruto and Gaara had horrible childhoods. They were feared, hated, lonely and scared. But ultimately their lives all worked out for them. They grew up to become the village hero, married with Children. The Kazekage with a loving family, soon to be married. (I think?)
Sasuke is a different story and I will not go in to that on this post. But he chose his options and he is now lying in the bed he made. Regardless of how he went about it, he still has a devoted wife and child to come home to if he wants. While Kakashi is still alone to this day, working in a job he did not want for the sake of the Village. That is and always will be his life’s purpose regardless of how he feels internally.
Thank you.
Amen
Thank gods someone said it
Shook.
My favourite detail about Sesshomaru that no one talks about
In the episode 162 ‘Forever with Lord Sesshomaru’ (anime: Inuyasha), there’s this little detail about Sesshomaru’s character that I’ve never seen mentioned in discussions his character development, so I thought I’d add what I think is missing from the conversation. It also happens to be one of my favourite details about his character.
To set the scene, in the episode, the Head Monk assures the rescued Rin that she’d ‘never be able to survive alone’ after she insists that she doesn’t want to be brought back with the other rescued children to the human village. She protests his answer and proudly declares ‘Sure I can! I can survive just fine, I can make it on my own!’
At the Monk’s declaration ‘you’d never be able to survive etc’, we cut to Sesshomaru overhearing nearby in the forest. The screen moves swiftly across his side profile from left to right – the direction that he’d be walking in if he wasn’t still. When I first saw this episode I initially thought that he was somewhere else looking for Rin, it wasn’t until the cut-back to Rin’s answer that I realised he was actually nearby in the woods. Why do I mention this? B/c the choice of moving the pane across his side-profile in the direction that he would be walking in really gave me the impression that Sesshomaru was prepared to walk away. To let Rin live with the humans who’ve rescued her. And he’s only standing still to listen to her answer, to confirm. So strong was this impression upon 1st viewing that I was surprised no-one was talking about it in the comment section of the video.
Anyway, at Rin’s angry snap ‘I can survive just fine etc’, we once again cut to Sesshomaru, except this time we’re closer to his features, and his brows have creased. He’s doubting his initial decision to let her stay with them, now that he’s heard her protest, the scene is shown below:
I think it’s notable that we only see him from the side for this scene as it really gives the impression that he’s prepared to walk away. If you disagree, well, I’d say this: If his initial decision was to take her away form the Monks no matter what, the shot would have been frontal, antically a more combative shot – as it is when he does decide to come get her:
(Note: there’s a soft glow around Sesshomaru [above] that no one else in this episode has (No, it isn’t the quality, it really is a soft-focus exclusively around him). This faded look that’s slightly aglow gives a dream-effect to Sesshomaru. Personally I think it’s how Rin see’s him as the above, in the anime, pans from his feet to his head giving the impression of Rin looking up to see him - her rescuer. So I think this is how she sees him: slightly aglow, slightly unearthly. A very affectionate detail, I think.)
Anyway, back to his earlier hiding in the forest. He waits quietly. But when Rin, with tears in her eyes, cries out into the air: ‘I never want to go back to a village to live with humans! LORD SESSHOMARU! Please, HELP me!” we cut to Sesshomaru, eyes closed in….conflict? Decision making? I do think he hates hearing her cry out, hence the further creased brows. There’s something very strained in his expression in the shot, and our proximity to his features and its brought on exclusively by her cries for help:
Noticeably this time, the above shot moves across his side-profile from right to left, the opposite of earlier, so it mimics the direction of Rin’s cries. Visually, his thoughts are being brought back to Rin. We see, purely through the movement of the frame, that he’s not going to be walking away now that he’s heard RIn say explicitly that she doesn’t want to go back and she wants to be with him. Only then does he come for her. Nothing until that point persuaded him to come out into the open and retrieve her from what are now, post-Rin cries, her captors.
We see him him open his eyes, a decision made, and turn to her:
The fact he’s turning back towards Rin’s direction, furthers my earlier point that he was initially prepared to walk away. His body language & the direction of the shot indicated that.
The fact he didn’t immediately walk away upon discovering she was safely recused by humans that were willing to bring her back with them, for me, proves that Sesshomaru is attached to Rin. And it’s that attachment that rooted him to the spot so he could overhear her answer.
But far more importantly, what his waiting in forest quietly reveals is that he respected her autonomy enough to wait for her reply, he didn’t treat her like property to be retrieved (ahem, Inuyasha). He didn’t assume she wanted to return to him, (ahem Inuyasha). He only came to Rin once she said herself she didn’t want the village life, and pleaded for his intervention to prevent it.
That is my favourite detail about Sesshomaru: That innate respect he has for Rin’s autonomy, he respects her decision-making ability and he listens to what she has to say about her situation way before acting. It shocked me so much that no one else noticed. It came across so strongly to me that first viewing.
Respect, autonomy, and listening. The foundations of any healthy relationship, be it platonic, romantic, or familial. Sesshomaru has it going on.
PS I have lots of thoughts on details of this episode that I think are really interesting concerning Rin and Sesshomaru. Would anyone be interested in a part two? It’d be more about the nature of their attachment to each other in this particular episode. Let me know!
