Why does Kishi keep trying to humanize the villains?

[narutoblitz]

It's really annoying they made Nagato into a wuss just by pulling out some book, rewrote Obito's entire image "because Rin died" and Kabuto got explained as a misguided youth. What's next, we hear about Madara's tragic history with his brother?

[Yui Kotegawa]

Are you a complainer?
Yes
Will anyone take you seriously?
No

[psukkar]

that's because they are human that have goals and ambitions just like the good guys.

[Paintry4]

I am really drunk now, and i'm answering it now, may be those villains cam be heroes if they got conditions and circumtances which was provided to heroes party.

[mimihigurashi]

, I agree to a certain extent, too much talk-no-jutsu going on. If Naruto TNJs Obito too..

[kibainuzuka]

[Dihajum3]

Why are you surprised ? No one wakes up one day and says "Hey, fk this world. I'll kill everyone from now on"
Every bad person in history has had reasons to be "bad".

unless one is this guy V

I don't like it either. I lost hope for Tobi, he's so going to get talk no jutsu'd. But there is still hope for Madara, I think he can make a great villain without any redeeming qualities. Somehow I can't help but think that Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a way ensnare Obito and that Madara has an agenda of his own. But as of right now, to me, the one true villain is Oro.

Beside, Naruto has other great antagonistic characters like Kakuzu, Hidan, Hanzo, Sasori, Danzo. People are complicated

[muutobirama3rdraikagemizu]

Madara is a boss he will not be talk no jutsued

[soyeongun]

this lol
Madara would be a pure evil till the end.

[Merita]

Unless you're a psycho, you need a reason to be evil that happened in your life.

[Expulso]

Haha lol

[cptenn94]

obito was sorta understandable......he really needed an explanation fo why he went evil...nagato was misguided....so far madara and oro are true villians. Madara has yet to say why he wants eye of moon plan, so it could be simply because he wants more power and to control the world. Oro doesnt care about anybody and just wants to be stronger than the so6p and know all jutsu.

[Shadow Abyss]

Because it makes them more interesting?
Lets face it, a generic villain that wants to dominate/destroy for no reason is not appealing.

[Chatte]

Because in the end w'er all human and the biggest message Kishi is sending to us is that humanity/human side will always win over bad emotions.

[Itachi8179]

Its because they all has the same story in past - someone died and they became evil or was bullies target

[Sasunarufan13]

Because people are complicated creatures and most of the time they have reason for behaving the way they do.
Almost nothing is completely white or black - most are situated in the grey area.

That's what Kishimoto-sensei tries to show: that even the most vile villain has a reason for behaving like that and that nothing is as easy as it seems

[saw2097]

You should check out the story of Ivan the Terrible. He was a great leader of his country, then his wife died and he went Psycho and proceeded to butcher his people.

[Gay]

It's been this way since part 1 bro. Only person who's a villain without a good reason is Orochimarou.

[Kurama2012]

maybe kishi wants more to his villains then just random destruction also it helps us to understand the characters more

[saltal]

The villains with a back story are a lot more interesting than those who just want to rule/destroy the world for no good reason. The other reason is to contrast them with the good guys to show that a lot of it comes down to a choice. The main good guys and the villains both had trauma and loss. It's the choice they made on dealing with these that defines them (similar to Harry Potter theme, I guess). Nagato and Naruto especially were set up to contrast in this way, as two children of prophecy, where one chooses evil and the other good.
