Naruto can be compared with Pokémon in popularity and Bleach in duration. The Naruto Chronicles began their existence back in 2002, and so far they have no end in sight, and a new manga continues to appear. Many fans of this direction of art do not take Naruto seriously, but this did not stop this anime from gaining such a fan base that the most popular American group would envy.
Friend kills friend
Fans of "Naruto" who do not want or do not know how to read manga are asking natural questions about the contents of the anime after almost every series. The leader among these questions is “why did Kakashi kill Rin”? I must say that for an anime the situation when a comrade kills a comrade is pretty standard, because in this way the necessary dramatic atmosphere is perfectly pumped. At the same time, the creators of anime also arouse deep thoughts on the meaning of friendship, love and duty. Not that this approach was dishonest or insidious, no. Just the psychological state of the viewer is created artificially, and the sluggish action of the next series is diluted with a minute drama, because of which the mood deteriorates several days in advance.
Drama and genuine grief of fans
So why did Kakashi kill Rin? Fans of "Naruto" have been discussing this issue until these very times, but they could not find a definite answer. The opinion of the fan on this issue directly depends on how positively or negatively he generally relates to life. In general, this action can be explained as you wish thanks to the fact that Naruto does not shy away from using its own clones, optical illusions, and other tricks to deceive the enemy. We can say that “Naruto” without illusions is not “Naruto”. Kakashi kills Rin coldly and cynically, but that did not stop the creators of the anime from painting this scene beautifully, almost epic. The light that scatters at the hands of Kakashi during the last mortal attack is quite similar to the heavenly one, but does not symbolize anything good at all. Fans of Naruto, who don’t understand why Kakashi killed Rin, drink alcohol with grief and try to explain this action with all conceivable and unimaginable laws of life and logic.
One hundred answers to one question
The drama is also fueled by the fact that before his death, Rin manages to utter a few words in the best traditions of anime. It is unlikely that a person who is pierced through with his insides will be able to speak the name of the killer or rewrite his own will. However, the Japanese do not think so! Rin has enough strength to bring the already forced drama to an even more peak state. So why did Kakashi kill Rin? There are a lot of discussions on fan forums dedicated to this topic. Many believe that Rin was fake, and Kakashi killed only the clone. Some blame everything on hypnosis, claiming that one of the participants in the dramatic scene was mesmerized. Still others lament through tears that Rin was a spy, and Kakashi could not stand the betrayal. All of these options are nothing more than the hunches of unhappy, broken and devastated fans. The series where Kakashi killed Rin is reviewed by them almost several times a day, because many anime fans are latent masochists. They voluntarily experience this drama again and again, they ask one and the same question: “Why ?!” and swallow chocolate ice cream through tears.
To resurrect or not to resurrect? No problem
Anyway, every fan of Naruto thought about this issue. Fans of dramatic endings believe that Kakashi nobly saved Rin from ephemeral suffering, but his gentlemanly action can be called a stretch. Also, to the question “why Kakashi killed Rin”, inconsolable fans answer as follows: Rin was hypnotized, was about to do something very terrible, and Kakashi saved her from committing the greatest sin in her life. Of course, this option doesn’t suit many people, so fans patiently leaf through the manga and wait for the next episode, where Rin will be resurrected in the best traditions of the “Supernatural” and present this whole farce with one big and unsuccessful joke. However, true anime lovers, for whom Japanese animation has become a second life, know that it is not customary for the Japanese to resurrect either the main or secondary characters. Anyone who died in the middle of the season will not appear at the end. Unless in the form of spirit or memory, but not in the flesh. The fans vehemently drive this thought away from themselves, because hope dies last, and you only want to think about good. Sorry, Naruto fans, but ... not this time.
How to survive the death of a beloved character
Most fans believe that this issue should not be discussed much, because in the next episodes of Naruto, the creators will definitely explain everything. But they, again, forget that the Japanese love the understatement and philosophical overtones, so they may well leave everything as it is. Most likely, Kakashi simply realized that Rin knew too much, and in order to prevent information from leaking to the enemy, he decided to kill her. Everything is very prosaic and not very vital, but such an outcome is just in the anime style.
Instead of a conclusion
In any case, anime fans will continue to tear their hair out, but there will be no answers, and sites with creativity dedicated to Naruto will be even more filled with elegies about Rin’s death and laudatory odes in her honor. Most likely, fans will just have to understand and forgive, in other words, put up with the fact that Rin will not be returned. In this case, they will be able to kill two birds with one stone: rejoice at the return of Rin, if the creators still have an ace up their sleeve, and normally survive the loss of one of the main characters.
