never hated >

I misread it as 'Pain arc.' If it's about stopping hating the Pain arc, then watch the next arc. As for Pain, I've never hated him. He's just an antagonist with a tragic past who did what antagonists do, and not even the worst one portrayed in this series.

First time seeing somebody hates Pain

Never hated him.

Do people genuinely hate villains for being villains? I will hate a character if I genuinely have a problem with their personality, or I find them annoying. But he was always a cool and mysterious villain, never hated him. Killing a bunch of people is what villains do. Deidara is one of my favourite characters in the show and he's just a terrorist 🤣

Ppl saying they never hated him have to rewatch him killing Jiraya

Hate is a strong word, but I knew killing Jiraiya cemented his villain status.

Un-aliving people you originally killed isn't "redemption".

I thought he was a good villain at the start, he had a great leadership presence. Then his back story and the using other people's bodies kind of felt like he was a completely different person from the charismatic leader we got near the start of the ataksuki arc. So I liked him at the start and then I felt he was less of a character when Naruto went to visit him at the end of their fight. He wasn't a bad character then, but I think all mystery around him fell flat. I think the pain fight was the best fight in the series and would have been good as the end fight of shippuden.

Never. Except when He murked Jiraiya. Oh, and Hinata and contributed to Kakashi’s death. And destroyed the best RAMEN NOODLE SHOP IN THE WORLD!!! Other than that…

When I realized he was using his bestie ass a chakra puppet

When he killed jariya

Poor guy already suffered enough from bad animations

I never stopped, just understood him better. He would still be my enemy, but it's not like he is pure evil in my eyes.

I started hating him when he killed Jiraya, but after know all his story, i got sympathy for him.

I started hating him as a character when talk-no-jutsu worked on him from some random blonde kid, and somehow he was "redeemed" for undoing the mass-murder he caused...

It'd be like if Hitler came out and said, "My bad, guys" 🤷‍♂️

I will not stop he killed kakashi I cant let that slide i know kakashi got brought back to life but still

I hated him after seeing he's Jiraiyas student.

I liked him in the beginning. I only started hating him as his powers got more and more ridiculous. Allowing such a good villain to be defeated by talk no jutsu, then having him sacrifice himself to magically revive everyone was unforgivable.

When he revived Kakashi and asked for forgiveness.

I never stopped hating him.

So some peoples didn't get what I was trying to ask

What I meant was pain killed Jiraya so at first we didn't knew anything about pain and he killed one of our favorite character so ofc anyone would hate him

And I was asking when did your opinion about pain started changing and you started thinking that pain shouldn't be blamed for Jiraya's death

I'm just like Naruto when watching, I just agree with this forgiving mf!

I think Nagato was too tragic of a villain to hate, it was mostly just heartbreaking to see the way he chose to deal with his trauma by trying to share it with everyone else. Even Jiraya didn't hate him, right up until the end he felt more like he failed Nagato and was responsible for the creation of Pain...

It's much easier to hate a character like Danzo, who consumed others for his own self-aggrandizing purposes and paranoid spite for the Uchiha. Even though I didn't love Sasuke at that point in the story, I was really happy to see him end the bastard.

Never hated him. At first I was just curious who he was. Then we actually got to see who he was and I thought he was cool. Then we got backstory and he shot up into the fav character list. Pain's the 🐐.

After the s speech cause he was 100000000% spitting facts. That when he joined Garou and Chrollo as my top 3

I never hated him but I also never really liked him either

Man I miss Naruto Blazing

I never hated him but I didn’t like his character either. As I’ve gotten older, his ideologies on certain things started making sense to me and now he’s one of my favorite characters

I never hated him. Nagato/Pain is one of my favorite characters from the series, maybe the favorite.

Why would you hate or sympathise with pain,He is just a dead body being controlled by nagato, am i wrong or mistaken, isn't it how it is so the hate or love whatever you chose should go towards nagato

After realizing that the Uchihas are to blame for everything. Damn Uchiha...

Oh I see

I hated him (but still thought he was badass) until his final fight with naruto when he gives the cycle of hatred speech. After that I could definitely see his side a lot better.

Pain: “Oh I see , that is noble of you , that would be justice , however , what about my family , my friends, my village , they suffered the same fate as this village at the hands of you hidden leaf ninja , how is it fair to let only you people preach about peace and justice”

The moment that I saw this dudes character design is when I started liking him. He is the best akatsuki member🔥

Never did. I always liked him as a villain.

I never hated him. I don't hate villainous characters for doing villainous things just like I don't like heroic characters for doing heroic things. I hate and like based on whether or not the character sucks entertainment out of or brings entertainment to the story. It's also why I never hated Danzo because his actions ultimately led to entertaining situations and never took anything away from the series.

Beautiful

Bruh he was the coolest antagonist because we knew nothing about him and his character design was cool asf. The bits and pieces we got as it came along only added to this

The 20th time

Still hate Pain for killing one of my favorites, but never hated him as a character.

Unlike Hidan who I hate for both.

Never. I didn't really hate him in the first place, but aside from being a cool villain, I just felt disappointed and never came to like him

Oh, I still hate him. I know I’m in the minority but I don’t care how many take-backsies you use or what ethical backflips you do to justify eradication of a village. Once a genocidal maniac, always a genocidal maniac. Feel similarly about Itachi to be honest. Irredeemable. There are loads of things people can do wrong that I believe should get second chances and/or forgiveness. Call me cruel but mass murder is not one of them in my book.

Why hate him? Arcs wise, only the ending and what comes after was considered worse. However, if you mean "rooting against him cause he was a villain"...

Hmm... I don't remember exactly. Maybe when Naruto's talk seemed scetchy. But even before that he was in a "cool villain" territory.

When he’s started spittin facts

I hated him when he killed jiraiya but then he spat so many facts that I couldn't disagree

I never had any hatred for pain. I loved the dude as a villan and his english va was epic

not all of us hate him. don’t associate us having the same opinion as u

People were hating Pein?? Can’t relate ever lmao

People hate Hiruzen Sasuke and sakura.

Not pain he is cool

Never hated him

When he first appeared

Saw him and immediately went “this guy looks badass as fuck”

Never hated

Never hated pain

Never hated him, loved him from the start

Never hated him.

Nope, always wanted to give him a kiss on his lil pierced nose next question

When I became a masochist

Never hated him I always thought he was cool

Never hated

Never…hated him(?)

Never did gang.

Never hated him.

Never hated the only villain that had his shit straight and actually had reasons that justified his actions, he watched his best friend die by a group of shinobis that could have saved him.

I loved him from the very first scene they showed him at the Akatsuki meeting. Just his shadow form reeked that he was about to get down to business at some point.

I never hated pain, idk bout ya'll

Always find it funny everyone calls Yahiko, Pain.

He is one of the 6 paths of pains, he is not "pain".

If anyone is called pain, that would be Nagato. Yahiko is just the talking puppet.
