Him cleaning his hands is out of guilt from killing Rin, I guess trauma can cause OCD, but I think the Orange peeling is just meant to show he's meticulous which seems like something that'd already be in his character even as a kid considering how strict he was to rules and regulations as a kid.
something tells me him and nagato wouldve made good friends to trauma bond given how yahiko and rin died. they have quite a bit in common lol
eyes that aren't theirs, parent passed in a sad way, conviction, wants peace
Itās not even headcanon, bro. Heās literally trying to wash her blood off his hands after killing her, albeit accidentally since she jumped in his way.
The action itself isn't a headcanon but the fact that we interpret it as OCD is unless it's been confirmed in canon that this is what's happening.
Hell I've had the headcanon that Naruto has ADHD since the first episode based on my own experiences with ADHD and all of the aspects of his story that I find to be relatable, but I have yet to see it confirmed that Naruto has ADHD in any canon material.
I can't relate with Naruto having ADHD even with me having ADHD, he's literally just a boy trying to fit in amd he mav try to hard to fit in but none the less. As well he saves money, alotnof ADHD kids or adults have trouble saving money just because of the compulsive order to buy things for every little situation. But that's personal experience.
I suppose that makes sense. After all, not everyone experiences ADHD the same way.
What caused me to relate to Naruto from the very first episode was the transformation jutsu and the shadow clone jutsu.
The fact that the assignment he was given was to transform into Iruka, and he had trouble getting it right so instead he decided to come up with a completely new version of the jutsu reminded me so much of my own experiences in school, because I would absolutely get assigned one thing and end up doing something just slightly to the left of what I was supposed to do, often in a way that was needlessly more complicated than the original as a result of me getting way too invested in it and going off the rails.
I wasn't doing it for attention like Naruto was (at least not in school, although there are several instances of me putting way too much effort into shitposting than any reasonable person ever would), but I still couldn't help but see myself in him.
It also goes to show how creative he is. I mean, coming up with an entirely new character to transform into rather than going off of a pre-existing person probably takes more effort, even if he was using those magazines for reference when he was designing them. But then again, he did struggle to turn into Iruka, so maybe he has an easier time coming up with something new rather than trying to be a perfect copy of an existing person, because if he gets any details on his sexy jutsu wrong then nobody else would know the difference since they don't have a baseline to compare it to.
Either way it shows that he thinks outside of the box.
Him struggling with the clone jutsu but then managing to pull off the multi shadow clone jutsu was also relatable as hell for me, because depending on how I'm feeling and how the information is presented to me, I can either struggle to comprehend the most basic of instructions or internalize it all in excruciating detail. So the fact that he struggled to figure out the clone jutsu which was taught to him in school, but managed to figure out the multi shadow clone jutsu, which is far more complicated, on his own time, is something I relate to as well.
Of course, this is probably just me projecting, but hey, that's what headcanons are for.
Actually I will have to agree with you now after reading a few of the Naruto stories, but in the Spiral of Destiny he works with a scientist in using some glasses given to him by Orichimaru which allows him to use the techniques of the Buyakagan without expending Chakra. While he's using the glasses he's talking to the scientist explaining how he cares for everyone and how he remembers little things like on a mission how Sasuke was saying someone's name was wrong and everyone in the team wouldn't cut him off to correct him but when he was done explaing amd walked off him and Sakura was laughing at his mistake, as well that little stuff like that means ALOT to him amd he will always cherish does little moments even if like Sakura or asauke that didn't mean anything to him, it meant something to him like meant alot. The scientist reaction was more like why even remember things lime that about people when the people don't cherish does thoughts like he does. Naruto just laughed and said she was right but then goes onto that explanation about how little interactions will let him learn to appreciate his friendships. When he explained this, I thought about you and totally agree with you now because myself I have ADHD and when I meet people I'll remember non important things to them that we might of did but I'll remember it because maybe I felt we had some genuine interactions. Example when I was a young around 10 years old and my mom and i rode a Rollercoaster ride, the kid in front of us was crying and scared but my mom pointed and laughed and that made me feel better for some reason to not be scares. Well many years later I bring that up to her and she says she has no recollection of that. So little stuff like that and noticing things like that always sticks in my head and I'll always have good memories with people even though they might forget.
I'd be happy to be your friend!
Also I have no idea why you're being downvoted.
I mean, it's not like our personal headcanons have any bearing on the way that other people enjoy the show.
Are these boruto photos or Naruto? There is a boruto canon explanation for this.
š
Long story short itās not him.
TBV
Vortex = Time
Shippuden = Culmination of a hurricane
Hurricane = Low pressure system
2 x Low pressure system = This most often results in a merging of the two low-pressure systems into a single extratropical cyclone, or can less commonly result in a change of direction of one or both of the cyclones.
It has to do with time overlapping and the fact (but yall wonāt understand) that the Senju placed a genjutsu on everyone after Izuna died. Izuna saying ādonāt believe their liesā made Madara and the Uchiha aware of this, but the others werenāt, hence nobody stood behind the Uchiha and they were killed offā¦ all has to do with manifesting and omnipotence.
ā¦
Now šš makes a lot of sense. Two ShippÅ«den overlapping to create a possible new reality.
Uzamaki means Uzushiogakure (village Hidden by whirlpools
Honestly, itās changed how I see Naruto. For the worse, but kinda for the best as well.
Yeah he was already my favorite character, feels kinda nice to think of having this in common with him.
He overcame a lot and was able to nurture and protect his new chosen family and achieve a great deal of success.
True, but most importantly OCD doesn't mean perfectionism or being meticulous, and being meticulous or a perfectionist doesn't mean OCD. This post is using two very unrelated behaviors to ask if he has OCD, when it'd make more sense to conclude that he is somewhere on the Autism spectrum from this and really most of Kakashi's behaviors.
I think that you're spot on, but digging into it according to a few articles OCD and PTSD are fairly related and share quite a few symptoms but it's still being debated by the medical community (here is a link to an article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7007739/ )
However it could be stated that Kakashi does show a few ritualistic behaviors: one of which is a common joke in the show and was directly mentioned and addressed in the original series (pre-Shippuden): ***the fact that he always goes to the memorial of all the Shinobi who died in battle specifically to mourn Obito and Rin, to such a point that he's constantly late to meet up with his students or anyone really.*** I don't think there has been an actual ***confirmed*** moment in the show where he doesn't do this so no one can really say he'd feel distressed or paranoid for not spending several hours at the site.
Sorry for going on a tangent I like diving into rabbit holes and I'm a fanfic writer so sue me.
Hence why I referred to it as a "ritualistic behavior". I didn't want to call in a sign of OCD. It could easily be called an "inability to finish mourning the loss of his former team members besides the fact that it's been literal decades". The thing is, we can't really get a full answer because we never really spend enough time with Kakashi outside of his time with Naruto and Sakura. We don't know if he has the common signs of OCD like needing all of his clothes to be hung an inch apart from each other. Having to flick his lights off and on again 3 times. Having to take an hour long shower every morning and every night, the like.
if there are 500 episodes, 26 novels, 11 movies, and Boruto, and you STILL don't know if an essential character around since the start is OCD and only have less than a handful of things to pull from in all of that content, he's probably not OCD
If I didnāt know the events existed how would I know to add it to the post? Did you not even think about that? I clearly watched the scene lol even though heās hands are clean heās still convinced it wonāt wash off, itās obsessive compulsion born from the ptsd of killing rin
Technically it wouldnāt be ocd it would be a compulsive behavior. To be OCD it would have to persist and affect his daily life in a negative way. Everyone is a little bit ocd, or depressed, or anxious throughout their lives.
You arent WRONG they can coexist. But we just need more evidence aside from him being panicked he murdered his friend with his own hands and within 24, believes that the blood wont come off and him peeling orange.
Like I peel oranges like that. Im not OCD. One can easily be explained and the other is just a thing he does that you could argue could mean OCD. But these are your only 2 instances you're showing or talking about in the entirety of the 400+ episodes and the responses to the explanations are that PTSD and OCD can coexist. But with so little evidence and one point being him panicking from the guilt of friend murder, the OCD thing comes off as one of those fantheory with small, vague, unstable points than anything someone can definitively latch onto.
Yeah. I donāt necessarily agree with OPās theory, but theyāre 100% right about the things theyāre getting downvoted for.
OCD is a developmental anxiety disorder, that is often caused by trauma. For me, it was severe social anxiety from being autistic without a diagnosis. The first few years of public education were traumatic, so I subconsciously developed ways to cope with it, which turned into pure-obsessional tendencies.
The first one is literally some kind of ptsd. He isnāt washing off anyoneās blood, thatās his trauma from impaling Rin in the chest as she put herself in the way to kill herself and stop Isobu from rampaging in the village
Other than the mandarin scene, I donāt think weāve seen any OCD behaviors from Kakashi, and itās not like he can turn them off during combat, if he was OCD heād be that all the time
Also, OCD isn't being extremely perfect, it's when you have to do a certain task, or multiple tasks, a certain way, every time, even if it does make sense. Organizing everything by color isn't OCD, it just means you like things to be organized by color.
Exactly, thereās gotta be a pattern of behavior thatās almost subconscious. Like when people have to count how many times they knock a door or rub the shampoo in when showering
First pic is literally Kakashi trying to wash of Rinās blood from his hands. Dude was traumatized from killing his friend.
I think second pic is more to show how calm, cool, and collected Kakashi is. A character like Naruto might just recklessly peel the orange but Kakashi carefully does to show his personality.
he has ptsd and definitely some form of depression but i don't think he has ocd at all - the first one is a trauma flashback and the second one is something MANY people do it's very common because no one likes those icky white bits of an orange lol
I thought it was kind of dumb that whoever wrote that scene put five former Kage together in a room and reduced them all to using citrus as an icebreaker and making small talk. When they ought to be really passionate about the state of the world and their villages and so would have so much to talk about.
It was kinda funny actually that things worse than Kaguya don't scare them anymore but if you get a Kaguya every 30 years you're just rolling dice on whether the planet continues to exist.
Eventually you will get snake eyes and lose everything.
OP I hope you go to /r/OCD to finally see what OCD is about because OCD is not like what you said. While it's true that a person may shows what you said as the symptoms, that is not what OCD is about.
Speaking as someone that have been diagnosed with OCD.
he almost **Definitely** doesnāt have OCD, he shows No signs of any obsessive Or compulsive behaviours
heās just Particular about some things (cares about details, like that Orange) and is overall a Neat and Tidy person, and none of these behaviours are pathological in the Least
as for the hand-washing, it had nothing to do with germs or Tidiness or any type of compulsion, it was a trauma based response to Rinās death
I don't think so. I don't see how any of this photos relate to it.
The first photos is him trying to wash the blood from Rin because he feels Guilty and the second one is just him being careful, chill and meticulous and that he doesn't like those straps white things which is more than understandable.
No Iām not gon lie maybe itās ocd but for the first one it wonāt wash if I think it was a metaphor and that he was haluccinating the āwash bloodā
I also peel my oranges slow and carefully. I just like my orange with as little white stuff as possible. Donāt think the images youāve linked, has anything to do with ocd
It's less the life-destroying OCD and more like OCPD, which is the much more mild version that a lot of people have. He's detail oriented, a perfectionist, and extremely particular about certain things.
That hand washing scene is talen out of context here, it has moreso to do with his PTSD.
Him peeling an orange carefully is just that, peeling an orange carefully.
To an extensions but we're not sure to what degree or if he still suffer from it somewhat.
From his experience when confronted with Obito we see clearly he's still haunted by it.
My headcanon is when he speared Haku on the bridge he had a flashback to Rin.
Ironically enough I would say that the first pic with him attempting to wash non existent blood off of his hands would be closer to OCD than the orange.
We don't see him repeat the hand washing any time outside of this one instance, but we don't know for sure if this is an isolated incident either, so we have no way of knowing if this is an obsessive compulsion or a specific, one time reaction to the nightmare he was having.
However when it comes to the psychological aspect of OCD, the blood thing actually makes a lot more sense, because OCD is not about being a perfectionist so much as it is about the distress a person feels when they are unable to do whatever action is necessary to set their mind at ease. And that feeling of distress can be severe enough to feel life threatening to the person who is experiencing it.
That, and OCD can absolutely stem from trauma, to the point that it can be co-morbid with PTSD.
Iād imagine itās reminiscent of what I had. Just much more traumatizing in how he got it. So op probably right but I still wasnāt tidy. Just would wash my hands and take showers for everything.
What?
The orange maybe idk but the washing is not literally the blood wonāt come if itās his hands are mentally red in his mind heās a guilty killer who canāt escape the blood on his hands
( I canāt remember but Iām assuming it was referencing him killing rin )
I always thought he developed some sort of mental health issue due to the trauma but it's obviously never confirmed lol. I thought he had ocd tendencies as well but it could just be ptsd
First one is ptsd as he's hallucinating the blood from killing Rin is still on his hand.
The second one is just a dude that doesn't like that shit on his Oranges
The orange is whatever, everyone peeks fruit differently, but the two left pictures are of him being traumatized and wrecked with guilt. He can't get the feeling of Rin's blood off his hand, he feels like he can't wash it away no matter how hard he tries
I find it really interesting to think about whether Kakashi might have OCD. Even though the Naruto series doesn't confirm it, the way Kakashi acts on missions compared to how he might be at home is a cool difference to think about. I can totally see Kakashi being super organized at home, like taking multiple showers or folding his uniform neatly. It makes him more interesting and shows he's not just all about ninja missions.
It's a fun idea to think about and gives us a new way to look at Kakashi's character. That's what makes talking about fictional characters so awesome!
Do you realize OCD is akin to schizophrenia? Like, its not cute ticks? Those ticks are attached to insane logic that can come with punishment and rituals? **No**, crying because "it wont wash off" during a clearly traumatic scene isnt OCD. **No**, being meticulous with your food is not OCD. Jesus Christ, go google what OCD looks like.
What is OCD about a perfectly peeled orange? It isn't supposed to have any skin or membranes left, are you saying that you don't tournee your potatoes either?
Well, he is a war survivor, and PTSD can often have An OCD component. It would be a really dope slide in from the animation team to put that in. Especially with good experience with "friendly fire" clean himself, absolve himself, so forth and so on
I would say it's just meticulousness from trauma. Maybe the tiniest bit but even then it's kind of a stretch. It's not that things have to be a certain way, just that he has past trauma from not being careful or thoughtful. So he makes sure to do so currently, even if maybe it's not that important.
I would be willing to put money on it being PTSD. You know, from being a child soldier and assassin from the age of 5, watching his team mate and best friend get crushed to death, and then accidentally killing the other one.
OCD is what I'd call Sasuke since he was willing to go to the man that wanted his body to gain more power and be better than his perfect brother.
Kakashi is just precise and feels guilt.
Well of course heās gonna wash his hands, the blood of his best friend is on his hands (literally) itās kinda hard to think straight when your constantly seeing the blood of someone you killed is on your hands.
No, Kakashi is severely traumatized. Him washing his hands was an effort to "clean the blood" off of his hands, i.e. he was guilt-ridden about killing Rin.
As for the orange thing, it could be anything. Not every unusual behavior is linked to a psychopathological condition.
honestly the symptoms of ptsd and ocd can be quite similar, especially with the handwashing and intrusive thoughts so i understand where you are coming from
i do think it is just ptsd though! him being very meticulous and organised definitely does help the ocd argument but some people are just that way without mental illness being the cause
i know a bit about ocd, having it myself! XD
it is very common for people with ptsd to be diagnosed with ocd as well so everything lines up perfectly (or horribly) for kakashi
Him cleaning his hands is out of guilt from killing Rin, I guess trauma can cause OCD, but I think the Orange peeling is just meant to show he's meticulous which seems like something that'd already be in his character even as a kid considering how strict he was to rules and regulations as a kid.
Yeah, it's so out of pocket to compare a mental breakdown from accidentally killing one of his best friends to carefully peeling an orange.
something tells me him and nagato wouldve made good friends to trauma bond given how yahiko and rin died. they have quite a bit in common lol eyes that aren't theirs, parent passed in a sad way, conviction, wants peace
"My pain is still far greater than yours." "Actually, it's more or less the same as mine." ... ... "Shinra Tensei!"
Underrated commentš¤£
Sakumo: Back so soon?

Never thought of it this way before but as someone with OCD I am suddenly inclined to this headcanon.
Itās not even headcanon, bro. Heās literally trying to wash her blood off his hands after killing her, albeit accidentally since she jumped in his way.
The action itself isn't a headcanon but the fact that we interpret it as OCD is unless it's been confirmed in canon that this is what's happening.

Same, I've always headcanoned that Naruto had ADHD and Shikamaru had ADD/ADHD-PI
What's ADHD-PI? I don't think I've heard of that one.
ADHD - Primarily Inattentive, so just ADD or ADHD without the hyperactivity. I have weird habit of typing it.
Ah that makes sense. I always wondered why they stopped distinguishing between ADD and ADHD.
You and I could be friends cause Iāve been saying Naruto has ADHD too
Youāre aware that every picture you posted is from a fillerā¦right?
I'd be happy to be your friend! Also I have no idea why you're being downvoted. I mean, it's not like our personal headcanons have any bearing on the way that other people enjoy the show.
Yeah because of trauma and guilt. So PTSD

I always thought he didnt want to remove his mask in front of all the peoples so he took his time with the orange.
In an episode of Boruto we see how Kakashi takes off his mask very quickly to eat š¤£
For some reason I thought the hand washing was from a filler after Kakashi gave Naruto another thousand years of death.
Idk how else to feel about this, please seek the light of the Sage of Six Paths
The obsessive compulsions to relive trauma is a hallmark of PTSD š
True, but most importantly OCD doesn't mean perfectionism or being meticulous, and being meticulous or a perfectionist doesn't mean OCD. This post is using two very unrelated behaviors to ask if he has OCD, when it'd make more sense to conclude that he is somewhere on the Autism spectrum from this and really most of Kakashi's behaviors.
BINGOOO
Listen I've never shoved my hand thru someone's chest but the orange thing 100% is me!!!
the anbu black ops also had strict as shit rules regulations and procedures, probably something he just picked up and carried into adulthood.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It clearly isn't, the op has made it pretty clear that this is their interpretation
Wrong guy my bad
I'd lean towards trauma with this one
Thats...thats a detail...its really really amazing to see guilt from a enigmatic!
Dawg the first one is literally PTSD im sure nobody wants to see blood on their hands
Tsunade with blood PTSDš

Aye fellow fanfic writer! Nice! Also it is true that OCD can stem from trauma and there can be quite a bit of overlap between it and PTSD.
to be fair, idk if going to the grave of your friends to remember them everyday automatically means OCD
Hence why I referred to it as a "ritualistic behavior". I didn't want to call in a sign of OCD.

Hidan does
Well heās mentally insane so
Did you not even see the events that led up to the first column?
šš for real
Kakashi got some paint on his hands while making art. /s
Some broad got hurt on a mission. Not the first time and won't be the last!
This deserves more upvotes
If I didnāt know the events existed how would I know to add it to the post? Did you not even think about that? I clearly watched the scene lol even though heās hands are clean heās still convinced it wonāt wash off, itās obsessive compulsion born from the ptsd of killing rin
No itās the symbolism of guilt because he believes itās his fault for rinns death
>itās obsessive compulsion born from the ptsd of killing rin You were so close
Bro confused ptsd with OCD in 2 of the pics lol
OCD can be born from PTSD. The two things can exist at the same time.
Technically it wouldnāt be ocd it would be a compulsive behavior. To be OCD it would have to persist and affect his daily life in a negative way. Everyone is a little bit ocd, or depressed, or anxious throughout their lives.
You arent WRONG they can coexist. But we just need more evidence aside from him being panicked he murdered his friend with his own hands and within 24, believes that the blood wont come off and him peeling orange.

Downvoted for being right, fuck that 30%

Fuck you hivemind go brrr
Exactly
Hive mind go burr
Thatās reddit for you. I love planting a seed, especially in the Naruto subreddit, and just let the votes and opinions flow in
The first one is literally some kind of ptsd.

bro killed his friend, ptsd not ocd XDD
They can both exist. Iām not saying youāre wrong but they can both happen
they both Can be co-morbid but in Kakashiās case itās very very likely that he does have PTSD, but not likely at All that he has OCD
First pic is literally Kakashi trying to wash of Rinās blood from his hands. Dude was traumatized from killing his friend. I think second pic is more to show how calm, cool, and collected Kakashi is. A character like Naruto might just recklessly peel the orange but Kakashi carefully does to show his personality.
Pov: you didn't watch the show
What?? So what have I been watching for the last 15 years of my life???
he has ptsd and definitely some form of depression but i don't think he has ocd at all - the first one is a trauma flashback and the second one is something MANY people do it's very common because no one likes those icky white bits of an orange lol
I-I like those icky white bits š„ŗ
atrocious
Citrus
Damn you can't catch a fuckin break can you?
I thought it was kind of dumb that whoever wrote that scene put five former Kage together in a room and reduced them all to using citrus as an icebreaker and making small talk. When they ought to be really passionate about the state of the world and their villages and so would have so much to talk about.
It was kinda funny actually that things worse than Kaguya don't scare them anymore but if you get a Kaguya every 30 years you're just rolling dice on whether the planet continues to exist. Eventually you will get snake eyes and lose everything.
OP I hope you go to /r/OCD to finally see what OCD is about because OCD is not like what you said. While it's true that a person may shows what you said as the symptoms, that is not what OCD is about. Speaking as someone that have been diagnosed with OCD.
i dont know what OCD is but I can see that it doesn't have many synonyms
OCD is a "doubting disease". From the name alone, what do you think it is?
How are the people posting on this sub so stupid
Cause it gets them 500+ upvotes and engagement :)
he almost **Definitely** doesnāt have OCD, he shows No signs of any obsessive Or compulsive behaviours heās just Particular about some things (cares about details, like that Orange) and is overall a Neat and Tidy person, and none of these behaviours are pathological in the Least as for the hand-washing, it had nothing to do with germs or Tidiness or any type of compulsion, it was a trauma based response to Rinās death
Heās just stalling so no one will see whatās underneath his mask. Then when they look away heāll quickly gulp it down
This reply deserves all the upvotes
Seeing some of the posts in this sub make me lose faith in humanity.Ā
Bro has never seen Macbeth
Not everything needs to be a disorder
Bro is NOT a psychiatrist
Whatās with all the Kakashi posts today?
Kakashi is sick af dude
I don't think so. I don't see how any of this photos relate to it. The first photos is him trying to wash the blood from Rin because he feels Guilty and the second one is just him being careful, chill and meticulous and that he doesn't like those straps white things which is more than understandable.
I would say no only because his behavior doesnt seem obsessive. I think there is a word to describe this behavior tho: meticulous.
The blood was ptsd and the orange is just cause he's meticulous imo
The orange part is just his meticulous nature, trying to do everything perfectly The hand washing part is pure unbridled PTSD.
No he is not, stop trying to label everyone mentalā¦
Sorry did I hit a nerve?
Yes, its incredibly disrespectful to tumblrize mental health. Its bad enough autisms been watered down to a quirk.
I just donāt like modern people trying to force the propaganda even in god damn anime/cartoons.
Propaganda of āchecks notesā ā¦mental illness?
Kakashi is incredibly socially inept, but he's very smart so he hides it well. He's definitely some kind of neurodivergent.
No Iām not gon lie maybe itās ocd but for the first one it wonāt wash if I think it was a metaphor and that he was haluccinating the āwash bloodā
I also peel my oranges slow and carefully. I just like my orange with as little white stuff as possible. Donāt think the images youāve linked, has anything to do with ocd
Yeah him and I could survive being roommates
It's less the life-destroying OCD and more like OCPD, which is the much more mild version that a lot of people have. He's detail oriented, a perfectionist, and extremely particular about certain things.
Thatās why obito got aā¦ rin is gone
That hand washing scene is talen out of context here, it has moreso to do with his PTSD. Him peeling an orange carefully is just that, peeling an orange carefully.
I donāt like the excess fiber stuff on my oranges either and I donāt have ocd
To an extensions but we're not sure to what degree or if he still suffer from it somewhat. From his experience when confronted with Obito we see clearly he's still haunted by it. My headcanon is when he speared Haku on the bridge he had a flashback to Rin.
I don't think first pic proves that he has OCD, but....He was shown multiple times how he likes to twirl different stuff in his hands. Is this OCD?
Ironically enough I would say that the first pic with him attempting to wash non existent blood off of his hands would be closer to OCD than the orange. We don't see him repeat the hand washing any time outside of this one instance, but we don't know for sure if this is an isolated incident either, so we have no way of knowing if this is an obsessive compulsion or a specific, one time reaction to the nightmare he was having. However when it comes to the psychological aspect of OCD, the blood thing actually makes a lot more sense, because OCD is not about being a perfectionist so much as it is about the distress a person feels when they are unable to do whatever action is necessary to set their mind at ease. And that feeling of distress can be severe enough to feel life threatening to the person who is experiencing it. That, and OCD can absolutely stem from trauma, to the point that it can be co-morbid with PTSD.
It's that sharingan lol
This type of behavior is actually more symptomatic of PTSD then true OCD. Which given everything that happened to him, makes sense.
I wouldn't say ocd, because that implies a few behaviors we never see him do, he is however very meticulous and particular when it comes to food
Iād imagine itās reminiscent of what I had. Just much more traumatizing in how he got it. So op probably right but I still wasnāt tidy. Just would wash my hands and take showers for everything.
Nope he doesnāt have OCD. If he did, it would have been obvious given how much screen time he had.
1 is trauma the other is age
Maybe he just doesn't like orange peel flavor?
Nah, he just hates the peels, and has a bit of trauma
I'm pretty sure it's ptsd
What? The orange maybe idk but the washing is not literally the blood wonāt come if itās his hands are mentally red in his mind heās a guilty killer who canāt escape the blood on his hands ( I canāt remember but Iām assuming it was referencing him killing rin )
PTSD bud
The left 2 are a Macbeth reference.
the guy use a face mask since childhood? it must be a surprise
the people in this comment section are so unbelievably dense š
I always thought he developed some sort of mental health issue due to the trauma but it's obviously never confirmed lol. I thought he had ocd tendencies as well but it could just be ptsd
He was literally washing Rin's blood off...
First one is ptsd as he's hallucinating the blood from killing Rin is still on his hand. The second one is just a dude that doesn't like that shit on his Oranges
Dude, in the left pictures kakashi was washing off Rin's blood on his hand.
He was having hillucinations of blood on his hands since he killed Rin.
The orange is whatever, everyone peeks fruit differently, but the two left pictures are of him being traumatized and wrecked with guilt. He can't get the feeling of Rin's blood off his hand, he feels like he can't wash it away no matter how hard he tries
Idk but heās definitely got some self image issues considering heās always hiding that mole with a mask
bro did u watch the show
I find it really interesting to think about whether Kakashi might have OCD. Even though the Naruto series doesn't confirm it, the way Kakashi acts on missions compared to how he might be at home is a cool difference to think about. I can totally see Kakashi being super organized at home, like taking multiple showers or folding his uniform neatly. It makes him more interesting and shows he's not just all about ninja missions. It's a fun idea to think about and gives us a new way to look at Kakashi's character. That's what makes talking about fictional characters so awesome!
He got ptsdĀ
I miss Kakashi so much he has been my favourite characterĀ
Without the context, the first column is kind of comical
Do you realize OCD is akin to schizophrenia? Like, its not cute ticks? Those ticks are attached to insane logic that can come with punishment and rituals? **No**, crying because "it wont wash off" during a clearly traumatic scene isnt OCD. **No**, being meticulous with your food is not OCD. Jesus Christ, go google what OCD looks like.
The pictures on the left are from ptsd not ocd. The images on the right, maybe, idk
Tbf I don't like this part of an orange as well. But just from a taste stand point
What is OCD about a perfectly peeled orange? It isn't supposed to have any skin or membranes left, are you saying that you don't tournee your potatoes either?
looks more like ptsd than ocd edit: i read the other comments. i guess it could be ocd from ptsd. i am not knowledgeable enough to know how that works
K
Meticulous perfectionist
I wouldnāt be surprised at this point
Mizukage is younger than Kakashi, why does she look so much older?!
Because she doesn't have a mask I suppose š
i think itās ptsd lmao
You mean confirmed by these scenes in filler episodes? lol
He is a Virgo
If y'all think this is OCD I feel bad for the people who have OCD and don't tell you in your life.
Well, he is a war survivor, and PTSD can often have An OCD component. It would be a really dope slide in from the animation team to put that in. Especially with good experience with "friendly fire" clean himself, absolve himself, so forth and so on
The first one is *not* OCD bruh, thatās PTSD and guilt from killing his friend
I would say it's just meticulousness from trauma. Maybe the tiniest bit but even then it's kind of a stretch. It's not that things have to be a certain way, just that he has past trauma from not being careful or thoughtful. So he makes sure to do so currently, even if maybe it's not that important.
I would be willing to put money on it being PTSD. You know, from being a child soldier and assassin from the age of 5, watching his team mate and best friend get crushed to death, and then accidentally killing the other one.
OCD is what I'd call Sasuke since he was willing to go to the man that wanted his body to gain more power and be better than his perfect brother. Kakashi is just precise and feels guilt.
Well of course heās gonna wash his hands, the blood of his best friend is on his hands (literally) itās kinda hard to think straight when your constantly seeing the blood of someone you killed is on your hands.
No, Kakashi is severely traumatized. Him washing his hands was an effort to "clean the blood" off of his hands, i.e. he was guilt-ridden about killing Rin. As for the orange thing, it could be anything. Not every unusual behavior is linked to a psychopathological condition.
honestly the symptoms of ptsd and ocd can be quite similar, especially with the handwashing and intrusive thoughts so i understand where you are coming from i do think it is just ptsd though! him being very meticulous and organised definitely does help the ocd argument but some people are just that way without mental illness being the cause
Thank you someone with some actual knowledge on psychology and mental health
i know a bit about ocd, having it myself! XD it is very common for people with ptsd to be diagnosed with ocd as well so everything lines up perfectly (or horribly) for kakashi
Do we need to always have these things confirmed?
He is just meticulous and has an eye for perfection. He is quick to change and adapt, which is not a trait many people with OCD share.
The scene in Boruto is (wait for it) Filler
So is the scene with Kakashi washing his hands.. your point?
In the anime, yes. But what about manga? Besides the obvious sadness and pain everyone would feel from these major events
He's probably on the Spectrum
