The absolute gut punch of Itachi's final words to Sasuke, 'I will love you always,' just crushed me, and seeing his parents' last moments of pride before he had to kill them made me realize the immense burden he carried all those years. I can't imagine living with that kind of sacrifice, and now Sasuke has to grapple with this devastating, distorted truth he's only just discovering.

Sasuke staring at his brother's spirit disappearing into light while the truth finally settles in is a lot to handle, especially after seeing those memories of their parents.

The animation during that memory montage was so smooth and it really helped sell how much pain Itachi was hiding inside

My eyes are still puffy from that ending and Itachi deserved so much better than being a scapegoat for the village

The way Itachi admits he should have been truthful from the start makes his sacrifice feel even more human and sad

Edo Tensei finally being undone is a huge win for the war but watching Itachi leave again is just cruel writing

My eyes are so swollen because Itachi finally told Sasuke the truth and that forehead touch killed me

Itachi was basically a saint for taking all that hatred just to protect the leaf and Sasuke for so many years

Seeing Itachi tell Sasuke he will love him always while his soul fades away is actually the most painful thing ever

Madara pulling out the perfect Susanoo was cool but it got overshadowed by the Uchiha brothers being so tragic together
haruka_tenoh
I think I cried the entire time Itachi was showing Sasuke those memories and that final forehead touch really killed me
zerotwofan
Itachi's inability to see himself as anything but a failure, despite literally saving the Hidden Leaf and Sasuke countless times, just absolutely kills me. I can't help but wonder if his impossible choices and the sheer weight of his past have just cemented that self-image so deeply that no amount of heroism could ever truly make him feel redeemed.

I was already tearing up, but when Itachi reached out and told Sasuke he'd love him forever, it just shattered me, like, this is the love he's always had but couldn't show. My chest actually aches thinking about how much Itachi sacrificed for that little brother who hated him for so long.

I was absolutely floored by how easily Madara just swept aside the Kage, especially when that Perfect Susanoo showed up—it really made me feel like hope was gone for a second there. Then seeing Itachi's final goodbye with Sasuke right after, it was such a stark contrast, like a quiet, emotional punch in the gut amidst all that chaos. That Uchiha goodbye left me with such a heavy heart; I can't even imagine how Sasuke will carry the weight of everything they said to each other now.

Sasuke seeing Itachi vanish after all that, man, it just broke my heart watching him look so utterly lost. I think he's finally processing the full weight of everything Itachi did for him, and that truth must feel like a punch to the gut after living with so much hate for so long.

I mean, Kabuto absolutely had it coming after everything, but Itachi forcing him to look inward with Izanami felt so incredibly intense and almost a bit harsh, you know? Still, it did work, and I was just relieved when he finally stopped the Edo Tensei.

Itachi showing Sasuke those memories just absolutely shattered me to see the full weight of his sacrifice all over again, you know? Like, I can't even imagine how messed up Sasuke's head must be right now, finally grasping the brutal truth after all that time spent hating his brother for what he thought were unforgivable acts.

Seriously, Madara just pulling out that gigantic Susanoo against the Five Kage was insane, I was on the edge of my seat seeing them get totally overwhelmed and thinking they were done for. It was such a wild display of power, and I couldn't help but feel a little hopeless for them, even with the Edo Tensei starting to unravel in the background.

Itachi’s final forehead tap to Sasuke, after all the pain and deception, just absolutely broke me. I kept thinking about all those years Sasuke spent chasing revenge, and to see him finally understand, only for Itachi to disappear again, felt like such a cruel twist of fate for my boy.

I honestly couldn't stop myself from tearing up when Itachi told Sasuke he'd always love him, no matter what. It just makes me think about how much he sacrificed and suffered alone for so long, and even through all that, his biggest wish was just for Sasuke to be okay.
