One of the most interesting analyzes of the characters of anime, but also of films, TV series and comics, concerns the concept of alignment based on the nine options used in role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and the like. Considering the series Naruto Let’s see what definition the protagonist would fall into.
To briefly explain what this concept is made of in D&D, just introduce yourself two axes, one from “good” to “bad” and the other from “legal” to “chaotic”, and then overlay the results to get alignment. If the assigned value were also in the middle range of the axis under consideration, it would be referred to as “neutral”. From these assumptions, and through careful analysis of Naruto’s behavior and actions on various occasions, we can say that the Konoha ninja is messy good. Let us now turn to the details of this definition.
Characters belonging to the chaotically good sphere are often heroic figures who act for the benefit of others and often ignore the rules imposed by society and institutions. They are often considered vigilante groups or Loners guided by their own values like freedom, independence and altruism. Obviously, they act as anti-conformists and in most cases they are rated negatively by the authorities.
At the beginning of the series, Naruto is a chaotic neutral, as the isolation due to his nature as the container of the fox makes him a victim of loneliness and feeds his hatred of Konoha. Alone after being next to Sasuke and Sakura. came to Team 7, and following Kakashi’s teachings, Naruto will open up and grow by following his good-naturedness, keeping his unique style, and definitely not conforming to social norms. However, by becoming Hokage, the character suffers a further development that goes into the good legal areabecause he must respect the rules and manners that his position imposes on him.
Finally, we’ll leave you to our analysis of the hypothetical classes in D&D by historical Team 7 and a great character dedicated to Madara Uchiha.
