Sarada is a trash fire of a character

# # # # # #

Sarada is a trash fire of a character, and her Magekyou looks hideous as fuck. I must confess: I don't even like Itachi (in case, after all my discourse on this guy, you were still unsure), but his Mangekyou Sharingan (MS) is fucking beautiful! He has a very sharp Shuriken pattern, which is also quite thin to facilitate the throw, if you haven't noticed; and that represents his connection to the whole "Shinobi" mantra: it's one of the few most common tools used in the manga by Shinobis, though his is closer to the Fuma Shuriken pattern that Sasuke always uses. So, regardless of Kishimoto's fumbles (whom I don't blame that much due to his brutal schedules), there's some very good narrative depth to his design. Shisui's Mangekyou is also very much like a Shuriken, only with one additional point and added thickness. And they were friends. Not that surprising, now is it?

Obito's MS has a much sharper Shuriken pattern, with long points jutting out of the ends to connect to the next Shuriken projection. It's almost as if it's an uncommon Shuriken, like Obito who in the past wanted to assume the seat but then veered away from it quite violently. Obito, as shown in the manga, wields very large Shurikens. He throws gigantic-sized ones out of his Kamui's Pocket Dimension, enough to slice clean through Hachibi's tentacles; the very same tentacles it'd used to guard against the Jubi's Bijuu Dama and create a whirlwind that destroyed a sizable portion of the forest and broke apart stone and rock with ease. (He took out three of its legs with these house-sized Shurikens, and his eye pattern, save that stylized sharp points, is very much like the Shurikens he uses.)

Madara's MS is nothing like the aforementioned. His looks as if the Sharingan's Tomoes themselves have coalesced into a spinning pattern. An evidence of his desire to see his clan be free. Prosper. His brother Izuna has a very interesting MS pattern. Basically, to me, it looks like the Uchiha Fan Symbol from all three sides, each with its own holding part. If you place three fans on top of one another and point out the sticks in different directions, it'd appear very much like this pattern. What a surprise that Izuna didn't trust the Senju and died the same way? It's almost as if his MS reflects that? It could also be the Hitobashira pillar from a top-down view, especially if you take away the additional points, which could just be handles for turning the pillar, making this more ghastly than the aforementioned interpretation. I'm not too sure of this visual interpretation, but given that Izuna became a sort of sacrificial lamb, a pillar for Madara's evolution and Leaf's creation, for Leaf and the illusion of peace the alliance offered to the Uchiha, I'm not too far off from this. Even Madara thought that the "bridge" of peace, one of the aspects for which the pillars were created in the past, between the two clans that Hashirama proposed was built on his brother's sacrifice. The Hitobashira pillars represent the wantonness of the utilitarian mindset, kill the few to make the many prosper, one which permeates Leaf to this day. Maybe I am spot on about this!

Sasuke is naturally the holder of the most unique pattern. His is a flower that possesses six petals, not three, one with inverted design unlike the rest: red pattern against a black background, which makes it so that the entire clan resides in him as the red is very large and very pronounced, a rising sun pattern from the fan that finds most ground in his eyes. Also, what is more pronounced in the forest, a flower or a leaf? A flower is far more rare, and a striking red one is even rarer, especially since it's blooming among countless leaves that are very common. That makes Sasuke the uncommon among the common. A boy that means business. One that won't let go and can't go unnoticed in the vastness of the forest. I think what I said is self-explanatory.

(I'm very undecided on Indra's pattern as that spiral won't be a correct representation of what he actually had; it's more of a depiction of a circular pattern, but one which has become myth; still, a spiral represents repetition that takes the same path every single time; and as a Transmigrat that chose champions in every era of conflict, it does fit.)

Sarada's? Her pattern looks like one of those pointy rings that I've seen in my drains, and I'm not even lying: it looks that similar. Kishimoto isn't even trying, is he? He doesn't care, does he? God, what an ugly design that doesn't mean anything visually. Is this your Kween, one who sports an eye-sore of a Sharingan pattern and wants to take over the state that butchered her father's family in a bid to "right the wrongs" of the Uchiha Clan (what a great pro-oppression narrative Boruto is turning out to be; they aren't even sneaky about it; it's mask off pro-fascism up in this Uchiha bitch)? I'd even take Itachi over her. At least, he had some merits, speculative ones, but merits nonetheless. You lot can have her as I forsake Boruto a long time ago, and from the looks of it, I made the right call!
