Something that really baffles me are people who claim to be Sasuke fans, but hate Sasusaku. I get that Sakura fans occasionally delude themselves by twisting up their perception of who Sakura is and how they want her to be happy, but Sasuke is not like that. How can you, a person who presumably wants Sasukeâs happiness, hate Sasusaku? Sakura is the only person who provided Sasuke with unconditional love after Itachi betrayed him. Sakura is the only one who provided him warmth and love in his life after his family was murdered (âshe was the one who filled his lonely existence with the thing called loveâ)
Not just that, Sasuke is softer, and more his natural self with Sakura. Sheâs the only person he feels comfortable enough with to simply be happy around, and whose happiness and accomplishments make him happy. Sheâs the only one close enough to his heart to tug on his heart strings and change him on things no one else can. She is the only one who made him think of the love he felt for his family even after he had already set his heart to stone and intended to kill Naruto and accept a life of only hatred from everyone.
So you think sheâs âweakâ or âannoyingâ, but why would you look at the only person in Sasukeâs life that gives him nothing but happiness and feelings of love, the only person he is able to behave like his normal self around, and say âGross, I hate this person for himâ.
Yes, Kakashi has an important role. Yes, Itachi is the most important person in his life. Yes, he has a close brotherly connection to Naruto and yes, he considers Hebi/Taka to be like his fledglings, but that doesnât mean they bring him happiness, or that he has the same kind of happiness from them.
Kakashi is similar to him, but thatâs a bad thing, because rather than see each other, they project their own situations on each other. Itachi is his dear brother, but heâs also the source of Sasukeâs greatest trauma and creates the most amount of grief for Sasuke in his life. And he refuses to let Sasuke decide anything for himself. Naruto is a replacement for Itachi, and knowing thereâs someone out there like him made Sasuke secretly happy, like he could replace his family, but it was still tangled up in their rivalry. Naruto enraged him and refused to understand him even when he should, they were jealous of each otherâs accomplishments, and Sasuke wasnât able to just be happy for Naruto. Their relationship is as self destructive as Sasuke and Itachiâs.
HebiTaka are all important to Sasuke, but they donât really connect to his deeper emotional core, and he often treats and views them as tools.Itâs not the same thing.
And all these bonds are important to Sasuke. Sakura isnât his only bond. Not at all. But Sakura is the only wholly positive one he had. As much as it made her suffer, she was still the only light in his life, the only love who wouldnât change her feelings no matter what he did, or whether he deserved it. The only one who could still reach his feelings even at his coldest points and remind him of his humanity, however briefly. And she was the only one he went out of his way to avoid killing.at all but his lowest point (signified by his willingness to try to kill her).
So sure, I understand why Sakura fans might decide they donât like Sasusaku, even if I disagree, but I donât get how Sasuke fans can hate the only canonical opportunity he has to be happy, recreate the family and home he was deprived of, and have the love he deserves to have, not dependent on him smiling at her or doing things she likes.
