Warning: The results of last Otaku Debate will have spoilers for Naruto Shippuden.
After receiving Nichole's comment as well as asking a couple of my own friends, the general consensus seems to be that Danzo had good intentions, but did not execute it in the best way. He always worked towards the good of the village, but used such extreme methods that ended up causing a lot of people pain. As for his death, Nichole believes that he should have lived longer because of how good of a Hokage he would have been and because of his strength.
For the most part, I agree with you guys. I believe Danzo truly tried to create peace for the village, but his methods could have been better. However, I do think that, to a degree, his actions were justifiable. He did manage to create peace for the village where there would have more than likely been war otherwise. I understand how the pain he caused could make people dislike him, but I do think that he was noble and endured the hatred people had for him well. If this is making any sense. As for his death, while I do agree that it would have been cool to see him work as a Hokage, I think his death was perfectly timed in that it adds to the tragedy to the character. He worked so hard for something, getting so close, only to have it slip through the very tips of his fingers. So while it may not be the best outcome for him, it aids in the overall impact of the story.
Today's OD: Is Hetalia racist?
This debate has been going on for years. Of there's little doubt it's somewhat stereotypical, as it's nearly impossible to represent millions of people as one person without stereotyping to a degree, but is it racist? It's become such a huge topic that the South Korean government spoke out against Hetalia in order to prevent their country from being represented in the anime. So after reading many strong-opinioned articles, I'm bringing the question to you: Should Hetalia be considered an offensive, racist anime, or should it be left alone, and why?
