| Shougo Makishima from Psycho-Pass made references to literature and philosophy for the sake of doing so, but I still liked his character. |

| Souma & Erina (Shokugeki no Souma) : A really pretentious pair. Vegeta (DBZ) : He isn't the prince of saiyans for nothing. Kamina (Gurren Lagaan) : Find him tiresome for the most part. Gilgamesh (Fate) : His behavior make him almost sympathic. Asuka (Evangelion) : Polar opposite of Rei. Sasuke (Naruto) : Quite the attitude during all the manga. |

He has also been able to figure out how to make himself effectively immortal unlike any Uchiha .

| I've always felt that being arrogant is simply having a (too) high opinion of oneself, while being pretentious is going further and more like trying hard to prove one's superiority, but now I'm not sure. Might have been in the wrong. |

Sasuke is not talking about himself, he is talking about Itachi and the Uchihas. Lol if anything, he realizes that Orochimaru went after him, because he can't handle Itachi, like he literally said. So this is 100% not even about him, but about Itachi and the Uchiha. He wasn't even arrogant here, let alone pretentious.. So there is no need for the pointless semantics in the first place. |

| Crocodile from One Piece is one of the clearest examples to me, though he embodies a different, and more relatable kind of pretension: the one that stems from frustration and failure. That's what makes him such a great villain. |

He wasn't even arrogant here, let alone pretentious.. So there is no need for the pointless semantics in the first place. Not in the way, you are interpreting which is ''lol fuck you Oro, me > you, you are chump compared to my genius'' The fact, that he admitted he is an easier target than Itachi, shows, that he doesn't care to elevate his own superiority. If he think is better than Oro, then he wouldn't wait till he learned everything from him, and Oro was at his sickest, to finally make his move. Honestly now, that I think about it, Sasuke was mainly arrogant during part 1, his ego was actually very noticeable, and relevant to some plot points, there. But after the time skip, he didn't care what he think of himself, or his superiority, he was focused on Itachi, and his other goals, and nothing else, he only wanted to prove he is better than Itachi, and finally best him. |
|
He only sought Orochimaru's training because he knew he would be no match for Itachi considering he tried in part 1 and got his butt handed to him easily by Itachi. At this point though he considered himself far superior to Orochimaru. He even made a metaphor where he is the hawk and Orochimaru is the snake and the snake will never fly like the hawk which alludes to him claiming superiority. He was still arrogant in Shippuden considered how he thought he could take down the village with just himself and Taka and how he berated Kakashi for having a borrowed sharingan. Also claiming after the Danzo fight that if there was a fight between him and Naruto, Naruto would be the one to die . |
