What Makes Him a Shonen Rival?[]
- Anti-Heroic/Anti-Villainous: Sasuke has sided with both sides of the conflict in the story of Naruto, but ultimately has his own goals in doing so.
- Honorable: While he can be ruthless and pragmatic at times, Sasuke is generally honorable, showing standards and ultimately wanting to restore his clan.
- Tragic Past: Before the events of the series, Sasuke lost his entire clan to his brother Itachi. This traumatized him to the point he would even decide to become a villain to avenge his clan.
- Intelligent: Unlike Naruto, who is impulsive and outright book-dumb, Sasuke is very intelligent and calculating, and was the first in class before being assigned to Team 7.
- Naturally Talented: While he did not have Naruto's massive chakra reserves as a jinchuriki, that isn't to say Sasuke's heritage as an Uchiha didn't leave him with many gifts and skills not possessed by others, most notably his Sharingan. Not to mention, Naruto never used Kurama's chakra before the series, while Sasuke has been able to use his own to perfection.
- Jerkish: Sasuke is rather rude toward the villagers, and doesn't address them properly.
- Pursues a Big-End Goal: Sasuke has pursued many goals throughout the series.
- His ultimate goal was to restore the glory of the Uchiha clan before their fall at the hands of his brother.
- At the start of the series, Sasuke wanted revenge on Itachi for administrating the Uchiha clan massacre, until he would realize the truth, and from that point on, he would change his target of vengeance to Danzo, who he would successfully kill.
- After his fall to darkness, Sasuke wanted to destroy Konoha because he held them responsible for destroying his clan, and later also kill the Five Kages and change ninja society forever as well, although he would ultimately abandon this when he redeems himself.
- Redemption Arc: After his defeat at Naruto's hands in Part II, Sasuke would permanently redeem himself and side with the heroes during the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
- Is A Serious Threat/Villain: Sasuke posed quite a danger toward Konoha, willing to destroy not only the government officials who allowed his clan's death, but also civilians who were uninvolved in that.
- Spiky Hair/Unnatural Hairstyle: In the original series, Sasuke had rather spiky hair.
- Born into Privilege: Sasuke is the son of the Uchiha's leader Fugaku.
- Perpetual Frowner: Sasuke is rarely seen smiling or laughing throughout the franchise and when he does, it is only when he is being competitive with Naruto or when he is having a mental breakdown.
- Is a Chick Magnet: Unlike Naruto, who is an outcast amongst his peers and only attracted Hinata Hyuga, Sasuke attracted multiple girls during the Ninja Academy days.
- Celibate: Due to being obsessed with his revenge against Itachi, Sasuke shows no interest in dating girls. As such, he gets easily annoyed with Sakura's obsession with him and Ino's advances towards him.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: As Naruto becomes stronger and winning more battles while he himself begins to lose more battles of his own, Sasuke grows jealous of the former and questions his own strength.
- Vengeful: Sasuke wants vengeance on the person who destroyed his clan, whether it being Itachi or Danzo.
- Is a Token Evil Teammate: Compared to his other teammates in Team 7, Sasuke is easily the least moralistic, as he is willing to resort to anything to get even with the person who destroyed his clan.
- Is an Edgelord: In contrast to Naruto, who is more of a light-hearted quipster, Sasuke is known for his edgy and brooding personality.
