I know it’s hard to compare tragedies but I’d like to try anyways. I’m going to look at two characters who underwent very similar situations. The first character is The Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma.
Kuma has had a pretty shitty life—practically born into slavery, his mother died of a preventable illness, his father was shot dead in front of him, his childhood love was kidnapped, raped and then ditched with an almost incurable disease. To save Ginny’s child he has to join the Shichibukai and commit to having them remove his personality—essentially volunteering to die—to save his daughter.
Pretty tragic.
On the other hand, we have someone who experienced the worst of the world by the time he was a child.
Obito hails from the Uchiha clan though was a notable dud, his parents were long dead by the time we see him in team Minato and he’s been a Shinobi since age 9–Chuunin since age 11. Given that Obito grew up in the time of the third Shinobi world war, it’s very likely that he not only witnessed death first hand but participated in taking lives as young as 9.
Obito would go on to sacrifice his life for his friends and Allie’s, seemingly dying, only to miraculously survive thanks to Madara’s help. Obito would later witness Kakashi killing Rin and have his world completely shattered, remarking that he truly is in hell as he rejects his reality.
So who do you guys think has a more tragic story? imO it’s Obito.
