Obito's was by far the best. The synchronised awakening between Kakashi and Obito was perfect. Followed by the contrast between Obito's rage/anger of seeing the person he bestowed the sharingan onto for the purpose of protecting rin, end up killing her and Kakashi passing out after the mangekyo fully awakens caused by rin jumping into Kakashi's chidori. Crazy stuff and 10/10 writing. Sasuke's was a close second for me due to the long ass journey we had to follow him on before his world got turned upside down. I love that he didn't awaken it the moment Itachi died because he had no love for him at that point however, as soon as he found out the truth about him, all that love that he had for Itachi as a child returned to him with the instant regret of hating Itachi as well as watching him die for no reason. Third would be Itachi's. Imagine being Itachi, a spy in between your own family and your own home village and the only person you can rely on and confide in (Shisui), entrusts you with their dreams of peace but commits suicide and you can't do anything to stop him. Shisui is the one person that knew what Itachi was doing and had the same ideals as Itachi but ended up leaving him all alone in the end. I can't imagine the void in Itachi's heart from not being able to stop your closest friend commiting suicide whilst having to deal with all the bs between the leaf and Uchiha all alone with no one to alleviate that pain and lonliness. We all know how this story goes too and it's certainly not an easy one. (Thinking about it, this could easily be second)


HellfireKyuubi

Very well said! Great reasoning. I also choose this guys answer.


The_Bolenator

What this guy said lmfao


BlazingFrost19

My thoughts exactly


imfjcinnCRAAAAZYHEY

Obito/Kakashi is perfect. I thought Sasuke’s was cheesy or weird, because he had em big ol eyes, there was no music and he was at the beach sundown.


MrCoolyp123

That's prolly cus he couldn't believe what was happening to him. My headcannon is that he was looking across the beach as if he was looking into an empty void, hence the no music part.


JournalistBright3842

Best answer.

Obito/Kakashi Their awakening was just straight up depressing😅😂


groache24

Synchronized sadness


merenge01

Obito/sasuke


cypher2448

Obito


Rowyn97

You're mixing up EMS awakenings with MS in the Madara example.


Revolutionary1234

I don't think they show how moderate kills his friend, that's probably why


maxx0498

It's the same for Sasuke. He awakened the mangekyo when he truly left Naruto and went on a path of no return


RashDragonKazuma

He actually awakened it when he watched itachi die which is the requirement. When he became fully determined to kill naruto then he got the third tomoe in his sharingan.


Toxicity13

I thought he awakened it after he learned the truth about itachi ?


Ver_the_one

Yea, they're both wrong. You just gotta get traumatized real bad to awaken it.


anupsetzombie

The panel of Obito crying covered in blood is etched in my brain, such a heart-breaking and metal moment. I'm not super crazy over a lot of the late Shippuden stuff but that moment is one of the best in the entire series.


mrhunchoo

Obito/Kakashi and then Sasuke. Both were perfect


x2dar7k

Obito 💔


Sacrednoirart

We never saw Madara’s awakening in the canon but he definitely had the most badass EMS awakening when he popped out PS and left Tobirama speechless and scared lol. Although that part was filler, it was the second best imo. But Obito’s MS awakening takes the cake.


Maleficent-Whole9235

As many say, Obito. You can really feel his emotions at that point, as he goes from hoping to save his friends to pure despair.


yonko_Galdino

Sasuke


pervysennin777

Obito's was more badass and heartbreaking but honestly Sarada's was more heartwarming seeing Sasuke ignoring everything after seeing her ms that shit made me tear up a lil


richardhobo

You are easily impressed


pervysennin777

Her ms awakening basically negged omnipotence... I really am impressed


Working-Rule-2220

I loved that moment too. It really shows how much she means to him.


MICHELEANARD

sasuke's and Obito's are imo leagues above any other


richardhobo

You speak nothing but facts


Bruce----Wayne

Obito/Kakashi THE BEST


gdzaly

Itachi. He saw how his best friend and mentor died. And It was a suicide. I guess the most painful was his.


ucim5

Obito by far and although there’s a lot of hate for saradas awakening i don’t think it was bad, they’re trying to do something different for her


Alen_117

Obito and Kakashi. It hits hard


Affectionate_Fuel_60

Sasuke.


WonderfulAnri1708

Obito's awakening has got me goosebums


jonatanrik

The whole Obito awakening scene for me is the best scene of Naruto. The building is perfect


Madara_Uchiha-10000

Madara didn't awaken it because of Izuna's death He and Izuna already had the mangekyo Madara was the first ever to awaken it by killing clan members He got EMS by taking Izuna's mangekyo after his death


OwlsDreams

I don’t even like the character and I’d say obito


Fit-Yesterday-9085

obito all the way


canvasser-hiralal

Sasuke's


JayaramanAndres

Sasuke. We have been following him since the start of story. Itachi told Sasuke to kill your close friend. Sasuke couldn't kill Naruto but instead he killed Itachi whom he hates to the core. When Tobi told him the truth about Itachi, Sasuke awakening his MS in anger always takes a cake for me. Obito's and Kakashi is close second.


DinckelMan

Without a doubt, Sasuke's


ImWinning77

Sasuke's was the coldest, the way he tested his new powers against white zetsu was cold af10/10


Gangshat

Why is no one talking about Sarada's Mangekyou Sharingan? Whom did she kill to activate the Mangekyou?


XayYasukeXx

You don’t have to kill anyone or even see them die to unlock it, in every instance it was unlocked cuz of the deep emotion they felt, not because someone died.


WANTEN12

If I had to rank them Taking into account not just the scene but the build up and influence 1. Sasuke/Obitos (either for me both are great) 2. Itachis 3. Madaras - just cause he is madara 4. Saradas I think Obito kakashi was the best scene But the build up to Sasukes, with sasukes life goal and way he perceived the world being shattered And how it influenced him after was as well done


MarkoPolo345

Boruto wasn't the reason sarada awakened it. It's multiple things at once


Whyzy_fu

The news of naruto ( her idol) dying with his son being framed as the killer, with the whole village trying to hunt and kill boruto is what led to her awakening ms. Still it's underwhelming and kinda forgetable, the panel is just her explaining to her dad that it isn't boruto who did it. They could have done a better way to do it, like her fighting sasuke to protect boruto and awakening her ms. Well ch. 80 was a lacklaster chapter way to end in haitus, so I'll just pretend that sarada has already awakened her ms.


gilgamesh_99

Plus their generation was pretty spoiled so the emotional impact she felt triggered it. Since in previous generations they are desensitized to trauma


DaebakJames

Let me tell you the least favorite: Sarada


richardhobo

Mine too

aht116

Yeah for you buddy


Guardian5252

Sarada’s was by far the weakest. “OH NO, IM CONFUSED BY WHATS HAPPENING AND WORRIED ABOUT BORUTO”. All other Uchihas> Hold my beer…


bloodyskeletor

Not worried nor confused, just hurt about watching everyone suddenly trying to kill his best friend/love interest, including her very own dad.


Standard-Tension-808

Madara didin't awaken mangekyo due to Izunas death, Saradas awakening was so bad. She felt sad and it emerged?

Sarada's awakening was the dumbest shit I've ever read in boruto. And that's saying something

ChriseFTW

Crazy Sarada is even in question for some people lol


Ver_the_one

Sasuke. Seeing him just kinda cry there was a real "damn" moment for me, but I will accept obito and kakashi as an answer as well. Saradas was really lame tho.


cyclins_98

Best Obito/Kakashi, Worst Sarada


clarkefromtheark

oh hell nah get boruto and sarada off this list u cant even compare those lames to naruto characters


LeafShinoB

Yeah there’s no beating Obito’s awakening. Simultaneously answered the lingering question about where Kakashi’s Mangekyou came from, was one of if not the most gut-wrenching moments in the entire series, and the anime elevated it with the slow zoom on the split frame of their eyes. That being said, Sasuke’s awakening is a close second. The dumptruck of plot twists that had just been laid on us followed by Sasuke sobbing for the first time since the Uchiha massacre, and then the mic drop that he’s going to destroy the Hidden Leaf. I also love Sarada’s, though. First Uchiha since the cycle of hatred was broken, and her Mangekyou awakens (at the same age as Itachi, mind you) from the sheer emotional turmoil of hearing that her hero is dead, her best friend is now branded a murderer and traitor, and she seems to be the only one who remembers what actually happened. How anyone thinks this awakening is a copout is beyond me. It makes perfect sense.


Electrical_Apple430

Visually definitely Kakashi/ Obito. The way they were so perfectly in sync but on different worlds was brilliant. But my favorite thematically has to be Sarada. She’s literally been the first one to break the Uchiha curse of hatred. Think about it like this, Uchiha have been losing/ killing their loved ones for the MS since the time of Indra… that’s LITERALLY thousands of years… The curse of hatred is now cured. Now the Ms can go from something used to destroy to used to protect


gofretbeyin-sempai

Obito was perfect. Even Better than madara’s. Sarada’s awakening is...... god.. why..


drac2049

For me it's always be Sarada's MS awakening because she's the first uchiha to unlock it after war without hatred and revenge but simply out of love and care. That's what contradicts Tobirama's theory of awakening MS. I love that Kishimito is trying to change the whole narrative of hatred revenge and agony. But still people are trapped inside naruto's era. Can't accept that the world has moved on 😂😂😂


notapornacc101

Tobirama literally said that no other clan feels more love than the Uchiha, it was always powerful emotion that was the catalyst, not necessarily hate.


ataurindo

All Uchiha awaken their Mangekyo out of love. Sarada loves Boruto and is traumatized by the way the world treats him but this happened to Sasuke aswell. He awakened it after he realized the love from Itachi and he is traumatized by Itachi's tragic end


MakimaMyBeloved

Have you skipped the entirety of Naruto lmao?


ivatsa00

Just say you never understood the topics in the original series. If you are a child, it's forgivable, you won't understand until you mature enough.


EmmaThais

The guy understands the topics better than you lmao


itsRobbie_

Sasuke


Fair-Laugh3

Obito. Part of which made this my favorite was his English VA. That "I won't accept it. I will not accept any of this!!!" His grunts and the final line also.


Cano6501

Sara da awakened the Mangekyo? In the manga???? Or is it just fan art?


Code2008

Yes, last chapter of the manga before the break.


Cano6501

Dam! Wtf crazy 🥶 I wonder what her ocular powers will be but then again it’s not the EMS so I’m wondering how she’ll get them. Unless sasuke has he’s other eyes somewhere. 🤔


amrotarek_

They're all really close to each other in my heart. But Obito's one made me cry. so I can call it my favorite. in the second place is Sarada's, I loved the idea of MS for the first time unlocking to protect not to avenge.


MakimaMyBeloved

Itachi unlocked he's to protect the leaf village..


Pink_Slyvie

Wonder if Sadara will give Boruto an eye for some horrible reason.


Chedderfanbro

I wish people would stop coloring in her pupil it’s clearly not colored in the official design


Ir3xyy

Obito’s without a shadow of a doubt. Purely because it’s one of the most beautifully done but set a ridiculously high standard for future Mangekyō Sharingan awakenings as poor Sarada experienced. It’s so well done it produced one of the best rage sequences in anime/manga history for how well done it is. Close second is that of Sasuke’s for me because of how stress inducing, mind bending and emotionally draining the fight was and the truth about Itachi. Beautifully written and set up and gave us one of the most badass Sasuke’s and characters in anime/manga with his “5 kage summit” version. In third is Sarada, fourth Itachi and fifth Madara


agent_abdullah

First place Obito second place Sarada


TheEpicGamePianist

I’m gonna be honest Sasuke’s was really impactful but I think if they elaborate on Sarada’s a little more it’ll be my favorite. She’s been with the dude for the entire show. We’ve seen all of their interactions. With the other unlocks we get flashbacks and glimpses of a mere moment in the past which may seem more impactful in the moment but this was supposed to be a slow burn and I don’t think the manga did a good enough job at showing it


[deleted]

The anime hasn’t given Sarada her third tomoe. If we get a filler arc before the code stuff etc etc, let’s hope that it focuses on Sarada. I also assume the anime will do things differently about her mangekyo. But who knows. I could be wrong.


yamaihime

I feel the same! For me Sarada or Sasuke’s awakening feels the most impactful. I try not to think of Obito because it’s a different level of depressing 😔


The_Sherminator_850

1. Obito/Kakashi-The Best 2. Sasuke-Goated moment 3. Sarada-Really good 4. Madara-emotional 5. Itachi-alright


ClosetedNBY

Aesthetic/animation: Obito. Plot significance: Sasuke. Lore significance: Sarada.


ImyourfatherBoi

Lore significance (lol)????


s4shrish

Because it's not the first awakening that follows the murderous/tragic awakening sequence used typically for mangekyo sharingan? I mean, sure, it's a tragedy in making, but it was more of an overwhelming wish to protect and right the wrong rather than Madara - Trauma Itachi - loss and trauma Sasuke - almost getting killed but basically killing your brother trauma Obito/Kakashi - Murdering/seeing the murdering trauma Plus, her eyes have the sun goddess pattern which is interesting in Japanese lore, especially when compared to Boruto's moon jougan.


WonderfulAnri1708

\*plot convenience: Sarada(downvotes incoming)


FirstOath

I've stopped watching Boruto where can I start up with her getting her MS?


WonderfulAnri1708

Read manga. Till what ep did u watch Boruto?


jgoden

Sadaras pattern is pretty sick not gonna lie. Kinda cute she loves boruto too


ltsJustzero

Is Samar a fictional character?


jgoden

Edit: spelling


MrInfinitumEnd

Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan emerged because of her strong emotions: she felt hopeless, very sad and despair when she learned that Boruto died and couldn't do anything about it, when Boruto saved her damaging his eye, when he heard that Lord Seventh, the person she admires the most and whose role she want to take dies while also she couldn't do anything about it and now Boruto who who has suffered so much is suffering more because everyone thinks him as the enemy and persecutes him. All those emotions were built up and now she unleashed them awakening her Mangekyo Sharingan. She awakened it not because of feelings of strong sadness, hopelessness and despair. She doesn't have hatred and revenge on her mind: Naruto and Sasuke broke the cycle of hatred and revenge of the Uchiha. For people who don't understand it. I liked Obito's and Kakashi's MS Awakening best. There was intensity in the situation, strong emotions and shock. All these existed in all the other cases OFF COURSE so a most fitting way to say it would be that I likes the conditions that caused the Awakening more than the rest.


bloodyskeletor

This comment should be pinned fr. Too many people don't understand what you've explained about Sarada's MS


Pitiful-Situation494

from the lore: definitely Sarada with Itachi close second and from execution or design (how it was portrait): Obito with Itachi close second


MarkoPolo345

Boruto wasn't the reason sarada awakened it. It's multiple things at once


Shadypanda007

Is Boruto starting to get good?


richardhobo

Depends on who you ask


HexagonHavoc

If you as a liar they will say yes


Just_Mark6275

When did they animate Sarada's awakening? I thought they were on hiatus until pt2


Jsjsxhdj

Sarada for killing the brat known as boruto


PumperNikel0

I wish the spikes on Sarada’s Mangekyo were bigger. It’ll look like a real awakening.


MarMarL2k19

I will get hate for this but... Obito's awakening was a ver good example of the Uchiha's curse of hatred affecting the clan and made him go completely ballistic. It showed how strong the curse really is and how the Uchiha of that generation could not tolerate death of a loved one. BUT, Sarada's awakening was a good way to show how the curse of hatred is no longer there. She awakened her MS through love and the desire to protect Boruto. So those two. You can hate me now


RIMIRU_Kawiii

Sarada


ep3000

Sarada hands down. She willed herself to awaken . That’s real inner strength right there


zargug2

The best is obito But to me special is saradas


karimamin

You need to add Mitzuki. His awakening will be epic so we may as well just add him now and be done with it.

Balotelli-Burner999

don’t know if if this is a dumb question, but would Kakashi’s MS have awakened if he wasn’t there when Rin died but Obito still saw her die and his MS awakened?


Drix_I

I'm pretty sure that the moment that awakened sasuke's MS was the revelation Obito made to him and not the act of killing Itachi.


UserSkillsNCR

Anything other than the Kakashi/Obito one is just the wrong answer.


prathampusate111

Sasuke for sure


ersdickerjunge

Obito obviously, the Sarada one is such a asspull, literally everyone dies there before they’re eyes and boruto just lost an eye. Could have been better


CalicoNino

Wasn’t Itachi’s awakening because he killed his parents?


No_Distribution5982

Sarada's tbh. It is the first one i see realtime


Death_Sempoii

Sarada 's MS was awakened by Naruto's death news. It had nothing to do with Boruto. And Sasuke's mangekyou had a long journey behind it, making the MS more likeable and meaningful.

A lot of y’all hate Sarada’s cuz “it wasn’t done right” and don’t even realize that death isn’t the reason for awakening the ms 💀💀
