* ArrogantKungFuGuy: UpToEleven. In a series filled to the brim with Arrogant Kung Fu guys, he's the most arrogant of all. In fact he was once TheLeader of a clan of particularly arrogant Kung Fu guys, and [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating ended up leaving 'cause he was too arrogant]]. It should be said that he [[SmugSuper easily lives up to it in terms of power]].

* AttentionWhore: The Eye of the Moon Plan is as much as an excuse for him to show off his power as much as it is for him to giving everyone their ideal dream worlds. He constantly engages in needless battles or spectacles whereas he had every opportunity to finish his lifelong plan.

* PsychopathicManchild: A Type C. He's incredibly powerful, the head of his clan, and the co-founder of the Hidden Leaf Village... is nothing but him throwing a temper-tantrum after eavesdropping on Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, in their own home, and hearing Tobirama express his opinion that the title of Hokage should be voted on by the Village Elders and Clan Heads instead of just being handed to Madara because Hashirama wants him to have it. Ironically, Madara probably could have been voted Hokage if he didn't have a history of behaving this way. He also treats his newfound power as host to the Ten-Tails as if he were a child with a new toy as well as when he's fighting Eighth Gate!Gai he started behave like a child asking him to show him the best of his ability. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, he is extremely cocky.]]

** Since his resurrection, Madara just kept on revealing one new ability after the other to NoSell everything they threw at him. Pitched to collide against a Rasen Shuriken? Activate the Rinnegan! Outnumbered five to one? Summon clones and have them use Susanoo! Faced with a barrage of elemental and disintegrating attacks? Summon a mountain busting Susanoo! The guy who summoned you got defeated? Break your contract and fight on with unlimited chakra! [[SerialEscalation And the list goes on...]]
** Once he is revived and no longer immortal, he retains somehow the ability to absorb chakra through his Senju cells and goes on to steal Hashirama's Senjutsu-enhanced HealingFactor. When he is crushed under a pyramid of sand enhanced by Shukaku he simply bursts out with Susanoo despite having no eyes! Getting crushed by nine Bijuu tail whips and losing an arm? Have White Zetsu return your right Rinnegan and give his own arm as a replacement! You're the one against nine Tailed Beasts? Suddenly appears ability Limbo which was created solely to catch the Tailed Beasts off guard so that Madara can easily defeat and seal them!

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While he never managed to surpass Hashirama, it's revealed with his resurrection that Madara is this to basically the entire modern generation of Shinobi. He effortlessly takes on the 5 Kage, with the fight only lasting as long as it does due to limitations he placed on himself, such as not reusing certain techniques, and his desire to test the Kage for fun. Whereas Obito originally struggled to control the Juubi as its Container, Madara does so instantly ''and'' a more powerful version of the Juubi at that, since it had absorbed one half of Kurama. Obito also failed to defeat Naruto and Sasuke, but Madara puts both at the brink of death in a short span of time and they then needed to receive an EleventhHourSuperPower in order to combat him. The heroes don't even end up defeating him. He's just taken out of the picture due to Black Zetsu's betrayal, paving the way for Kaguya.

* BeyondTheImpossible: '''It's almost all he does!''' He dies of old age but thanks to Kabuto, he is revived at a younger age, he pulls out very large meteors out of thin air. He revives with his new body again despite dying of old age. He is able to terminate the contract with Edo Tensei, despite the fact that even the original creator this jutsu does not know how to do it. He summons a Susanoo with ''no eyes''. He even extracted the Bijuu in mere minutes despite the fact that previously was necessary 9 members of the Akatsuki and 3 days to extract at least one. He proceeds to casually turn himself into the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki without even going through an AlmightyIdiot phase like Obito and also use Kamui as the ten tailed beast container despite the original wielder being incapable of doing such a thing.

** He's got the '''First Hokage's face''' ''on his chest''! In Past we get to see that he was able to live far beyond his supposed "death" at the Valley of the End by hooking himself up to a combination of the Gedo Mazo and what appears to be a gelatinous blob of the First Hokage's cells. This connection is represented by several pipe-like growths that protrude from his back and feed back into the statue.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While he never managed to surpass Hashirama, it's revealed with his resurrection that Madara is this to basically the entire modern generation of Shinobi. He effortlessly takes on the 5 Kage, with the fight only lasting as long as it does due to limitations he placed on himself, such as not reusing certain techniques, and his desire to test the Kage for fun. Whereas Obito originally struggled to control the Juubi as its Container, Madara does so instantly ''and'' a more powerful version of the Juubi at that, since it had absorbed one half of Kurama. Obito also failed to defeat Naruto and Sasuke, but Madara puts both at the brink of death in a short span of time and they then needed to receive an 11thHourSuperPower in order to combat him. The heroes don't even end up defeating him. He's just taken out of the picture due to Black Zetsu's betrayal, paving the way for Kaguya.

* TragicVillain: While it isn't an excuse for his actions, Madara is no doubt the product of a ''lifetime'' filled with tragedy. By the age of ten, he had already lost ''four brothers'', resulting in his desperate dream for peace, which he shared with his best friend, Hashirama. However, he cherished last remaining brother, Izuna, more than anything, enough that he willingly turned his back on his friend and his dream, and continued the Uchiha-Senju feud to new heights. The casualties of this continued feud resulted in the death the brother he sought to protect. Then, after finally giving in and joining Hashirama in building Konoha, he was denied the post of the First Hokage and learned the truth about the Uchiha-Senju feud from the tablet in the Naka Shrine, which finally drove him over the deep end and into the Madara we all know and hate. [[spoiler:The fact that he was a pawn used to revive his distant ancestor is just icing on the cake]].

** A very subtle one regarding his actual role in the plot: [[spoiler: Namely, the fact that he was [[UnwittingPawn a puppet on the strings of Kaguya and Black Zetsu]]. His resurrection and how he raised to become the next Sage of the Six Paths and enact the Moon’s Eye Plan at first look like the carefully orchestrated scheme from a typical {{Chessmaster}} ManipulativeBastard... until you look at it closely and realize that it hinges on what at first seems like a complete accident: He never planned to come back through the Edo Tensei. If Kabuto had not found Madara’s corpse and resurrected him in order to blackmail Obito, Madara would have remained dead and his ambition would never have come to fruition, as Obito was planning to take the Moon’s Eye Plan for himself and never intended to bring back Madara in the first place. For such a manipulative Big Bad to enter the plot in such a coincidental way seems odd, [[ThereAreNoCoincidences hinting that his resurrection was actually arranged by somebody else.]]]]

[[quoteright:253:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/253px-Edo_Madara_275.png]]
[[caption-width-right:305:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki]] http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madara_uchiha___six_paths_jinchuriki___by_uchihaclanancestor_d7k1omq.png[[/labelnote]]]]

One of the original founders of Konoha. Long before the beginning of the series, during the "Warring States" period, he was TheAce of the Uchiha Clan, bitter enemies of the Senju. Both clans were often pitted against each other by the Daimyos of the era, who were locked into a constant struggle for land and resources. During his childhood, he developed a close friendship with Hashirama Senju, who he had met by chance whilst skipping stones across a river. As neither of them revealed their surnames, Madara remained unaware that Hashirama was from an enemy clan until their secret meetings were discovered by his family. He was soon forced to end their friendship, and, bitter over his loss, sought to completely erase Hashirama from his life, and ignored the latter's offers to reconcile and become allies. Years later, his brother Izuna was mortally wounded in battle by Tobirama, and after his death, an irate Madara recklessly challenged Hashirama to a fight, despite the fact that the rest of his clan had already surrendered. After a day-long battle, he was ultimately defeated, and after an emotional exchange with Hashirama, he finally relented and agreed to form an alliance. In the end the two clans were united under a single village, and after making an agreement with the land's Daimyo, gave rise to the "One Nation, One Village" system.

All seemed to go well at first... until it began to dawn on Madara that a lot of people didn't seem to trust him. Some time after Hashirama was named the First Hokage, Madara used his Eternal Mangekyo to decipher the Uchiha's sacred stone tablet and fell into despair upon realising the meaning of its contents. Fearing that the Senju would one day subjugate and perhaps even annihilate the Uchiha, he tried to persuade his clansmen to leave the village. Apparently this belief was poorly received, because not a single person listened to him. Regardless, Madara became bent on achieving "true peace" with his own methods, and eventually deserted Konoha. He would later repeatedly attack the village, going so far as commanding the Kyuubi to do his bidding, but he was eventually [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice defeated by the First Hokage]], whose wife Mito Uzumaki later became the Kyuubi's first jinchuuriki. Though he did perish from his wounds, he had prepared Izanagi to rewrite his death beforehand, and was later revived. Madara then went into hiding for several decades, making preparations for his Eye of the Moon Plan. As an elderly man he implanted his newly-awakened Rinnegan into Nagato and saved the life of Obito Uchiha, whom he eventually recruited to carry on his plans until he could be resurrected in his physical prime.

After being resurrected and restored to his youth with Edo Tensei, he proceeds to CurbStompBattle the Kages, and even manages to escape Edo Tensei's deactivation. He decides to stop playing around, and after finishing the curb stomping off panel, he [[DynamicEntry crashes]] Obito's fight with Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and B. As this fight kept expanding to include pretty much all of the other characters, things escalated and, long story short, Madara was revived.

He then proceeds to [[NoSell kick everyone's ass]], which includes all nine Tailed Beasts, Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Tobirama,etc. After sealing away all nine beasts in a matter of seconds, he then rids every obstacle in his path and becomes the new and current Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails. Despite several miracles happening one after the other (Gai putting up a decent fight with [[OneWingedAngel all Eight Gates released]], Obito turning on him, and Naruto and Sasuke receiving the Sage of the Six Paths power to be on equal footing with him), Madara reaches his goal and activates Infinite Tsukiyomi. But later he gets a betrayal from Black Zetsu then [[GrandTheftMe forces his body to undergo a transformation]] into the far stronger and far more dangerous [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Kaguya Otsutsuki]]. After her defeat, Madara is returned to normal, all powers stripped from his body and dies peacefully shortly afterward, sharing a sad and final farewell with his former friend Hashirama.

->His hobby was falconry.
->Favorite phrase: "Armor-sleeved single hit". This refers to defeating someone with a single blow.

[[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Kurama]], the ''Nine-Tailed Fox'', a self-proclaimed "living mass of malevolence," can't stand him, and considering the shit he's had to put up with for the last few centuries, that says ''a lot'' about Madara Uchiha. [[hottip:*: Namely, that Madara's mind-control skill which he first used himself then taught Tobi to use, both on Kurama against Konoha, is '''responsible''' for most of the things Kurama has had to endure.]] Even Tobi, aka Obito Uchiha, his protege, сlearly despises him, and certainly hates after he learned that Madara is the one who arranged the events that led to Rin's death. The only people who can tolerate him are Senju Hashirama, who was once his best friend, and Izuna, his brother, though Madara did everything he could to hate Hashirama.
* TheAce: Despite his infamy, Madara was widely regarded to be the greatest shinobi of all time in terms of power and skill. The very thought of facing Madara Uchiha on battle struck [[TheDreaded fear]] in the hearts of shinobi. The only other shinobi who could fight him on equal terms was his life long rival, Hashirama Senju.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuuriki turns his hair pale red, while in the anime it turns his hair [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]].
* AlasPoorVillain: When Madara is finally [[spoiler:defeated, he and Hashirama lament the path that he chose to walk on and notes that his life was wasted in trying to force everyone into following his dream. At the very least, he was comforted by Hashirama's words and dies peacefully.]]
* AlwaysSecondBest:
** To the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. But because him and Hashirama are on a ''completely different level'' when compared to others he ''[[SmugSuper brags]]'' about being second best!
** [[spoiler: Admits to Gai that his taijutsu surpasses his own and that of anyone he's ever fought.]]
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:See AlasPoorVillain. Not only will his dream and ideology die with him, Madara was forced to confront the fact that everything he believed in and worked towards was based on a huge lie. Even Obito got more than Madara in the end -- he at least was able to finally reunite with Rin in the afterlife. Madara had nothing but Hashirama's words for comfort]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While he never managed to surpass Hashirama, it's revealed with his resurrection that Madara is this to basically the entire modern generation of Shinobi. He effortlessly takes on the 5 Kage, with the fight only lasting as long as it does due to limitations he placed on himself, such as not reusing certain techniques, and his desire to test the Kage for fun. Whereas Obito originally struggled to control the Juubi as its Container, Madara does so instantly ''and'' a more powerful version of the Juubi at that, since it had absorbed one half of Kurama. Obito also failed to defeat Naruto and Sasuke, but Madara puts both at the brink of death in a short span of time and they then needed to receive an 11thHourSuperPower in order to combat him. The heroes don't even end up defeating him. He's just taken out of the picture due to Black Zetsu's betrayal, paving the way for Kaguya.
* AntagonistInMourning: Much of his appearances after his revival have him deploring Hashirama's death, as he feels that the current Kages cannot live up to his legacy.
* AntiVillain: Somewhat PlayedWith. Madara will tell anyone who will listen that his goal is to end the suffering of the world. His methods of doing this however is to throw the world into even more turmoil before finally subjugating everything to his will. He may have wanted to save the world, but his methods of doing so fly in the face of everything in it, and that doesn't even take into account he was detached enough to disregard the safety of Konoha's villagers for the sake of advancing his plan.
* ArchEnemy:
** The Senju Brothers. The entire plot of ''Naruto'' happened ultimately because Madara was never able to get over being AlwaysSecondBest to Hashirama Senju. And a large part of that is because of Tobirama, who killed his little brother Izuna, Madara's MoralityChain.
** To the world. It's safe to say that by the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War, every single person in the world hates Madara Uchiha. Even his protege Tobi/Obito came to hate him in the end, for ''very'' valid reasons.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: UpToEleven. In a series filled to the brim with Arrogant Kung Fu guys, he's the most arrogant of all. In fact he was once TheLeader of a clan of particularly arrogant Kung Fu guys, and [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating ended up leaving 'cause he was too arrogant]]. It should be said that he [[SmugSuper easily lives up to it in terms of power]].
* AssimilationPlot: His main goal immerse all the people in the illusion, in order to creating a dream world without chakra.
* AttackReflector: His war fan (see PaperFanOfDoom below) can be used to bounce back attacks, even ungodly powerful ones.
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: When he led the Uchiha in the Warring States period, his strength was second only to that of Hashirama.
* AwesomeButImpractical: He can summon a freaking asteroid, and yet the size of the intergalactic projectile makes it impossible for Madara himself to dodge its impact. This is averted after he absorbs Shinju and gains the power of flight, allowing him to launch multiple asteroids without consequence.
* BackFromTheDead:
** Along with many of the deceased seen in the story. And then broke free of Kabuto's jutsu, giving Konoha yet another Uchiha headache to deal with. He later tried to force Obito to use the Rinne Tensei technique to fully resurrect himself, but suffer OutGambitted from Obito. He later all the same succeeds in forcing Obito to use Rinne Tensei on him via Black Zetsu.
** The first time it happened was after Hashirama impaled him during their battle at the Valley of the End. Madara set up a time-delayed Izanagi to resurrect himself at the cost of his right eye, which he regained the use of after awakening the Rinnegan.
* BadassArmFold: He holds this as his default stance when he's not in combat. He also enters this when using his Susanoo, as he no longer needs to move his body at all to fight.
* BadassBaritone: In the Japanese and English versions he has a very deep voice to compliment his power.
* BadassBoast: Madara states The Kage are lucky that Hashirama wasn't also brought back so they don't have to redraw the maps "that much". In fact, the majority of what comes out of his mouth is this in spades.
* {{Badass in Charge}}: He was this for the Uchiha clan during his first lifetime.
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: Zig-Zagging trope. Everything in the series pointed to Madara as the BigBad, until it's revealed that he was the unidentified corpse that was revived by Kabuto. Then we find out that he's still the guy ultimately responsible for Tobi and his plan, so he is still the BigBad. However later, Tobi hijacked Madara's master plan, promoting himself to the role of BigBad and lowering Madara. But after the defeat Tobi, Madara right back resumed being the BigBad until as Black Zetsu stabbed him from behind and started to take over his body the, revealing that Black Zetsu is a manifestation of Kaguya's will, and that he and the still kicking Kaguya are actually the true BigBad.
* BarbarianLonghair: This head of the Uchiha clan has long, unkempt hair.
* BerserkButton:
** As a kid, he hated it when people stood behind him, especially as he urinated. Hashirama exploited this for lulz.
** Also, Hashirama, in general. In one flashback the mere mention of Hashirama's name enraged him.
* BatmanGambit: He took control of the Kurama and attacked Konoha to force Hashirama fight him, which would in turn allow him the perfect opportunity to get at his cells.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wanted to create a world without chakra and also to be the sole owner of this chakra... well he has achieved what he wanted when Black Zetsu forcefully pumps in the chakra of those who were caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi for the revival his creator Kaguya.
* BetterThanNew: Kabuto comments that he used Edo Tensei to make him even stronger than when he was in his prime.
* BeyondTheImpossible: '''It's almost all he does!''' He dies of old age but thanks to Kabuto, he is revived at a younger age, he pulls out very large meteors out of thin air. He revives with his new body again despite dying of old age. He is able to terminate the contract with Edo Tensei, despite the fact that even the original creator this jutsu does not know how to do it. He summons a Susanoo with ''no eyes''. He even extracted the Bijuu in mere minutes despite the fact that previously was necessary 9 members of the Akatsuki and 3 days to extract at least one. He proceeds to casually turn himself into the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki without even going through an AlmightyIdiot phase like Obito and also use Kamui as the ten tailed beast container despite the original wielder being incapable of doing such a thing.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He threw away his friendship with Hashirama to protect his little brother. When he failed to do so, his guilt awakened special hate chakra in his brain that almost drove him crazy.
* BigBad: He becomes when escapes out of control Edo Tensei's and forms an BigBadDuumvirate with Obito. [[BigBadWannabe Later he leaves on second plan]] when Obito becomes the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails but after defeat Obito he takes the role of the main villain until he's upstaged by Kaguya.
* BigBadDuumvirate: After being resurrected via Edo Tensei by Kabuto, Madara joins Obito on the battlefield against the Shinobi Alliance. Madara and Obito are, however, on equal standing as both have their own reasons for joining forces, and Obito isn't exactly acting like how a [[TheDragon Dragon]] should.
* BigBadWannabe: Despite his role as GreaterScopeVillain, he was reduced to this in the end. Up until that point, he was one of the two biggest threats in the war, soundly curb-stomping the Five Kage and most of the Alliance. Even after Obito betrayed him and briefly took control of the plan by becoming the Jinchuuriki for the Ten-Tails, Madara still posed a huge problem (although and in a lesser degree than Obito on that moment). By all rights, he should have been the BigBad once he was fully-revived and sealed the Ten Tails into himself. However, soon after he activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he's immediately betrayed by his EnigmaticMinion, Black Zetsu, with his body being used as a vessel for the revival of his ancestor, Princess Kaguya. He isn't even dignified with a final face-off against Naruto and Sasuke.
* BloodKnight: Madara very much likes a good fight, to such an extent that upon sensing the presence of Edo-Tensei Hashirama, he ditches his plan in favor of being able to fight Hashirama once again as it brings him great excitement. He also claims that he sees the world as mere "entertainment" and even gets to the point of letting himself almost get killed because he wanted to see the full abilities of Guy's eighth gate.
* BodyHorror:
** He's got the '''First Hokage's face''' ''on his chest''! In Past we get to see that he was able to live far beyond his supposed "death" at the Valley of the End by hooking himself up to a combination of the Gedo Mazo and what appears to be a gelatinous blob of the First Hokage's cells. This connection is represented by several pipe-like growths that protrude from his back and feed back into the statue.
** His Ten Tails Jinchuuriki form looks like Obito's controlled form, only more perfected. And when Kaguya/Black Zetsu starts to take over him, he swells like Obito did in his first Ten Tailed form, only WORSE!
* BreakTheHaughty: He's absolutely convinced that he's an invincible Sage of Six Paths who will save humanity from themselves, only to be backstabbed by Black Zetsu, who reveals the true nature of Infinite Tsukuyomi. After he's dispossessed by Kaguya, he's left completely depowered and on the verge of death, a far cry from his previous state. At this point, he finally [[HeelRealization realizes his actions did nothing to improve the world]] and that his ideology will die with him, unlike his rival's dream.
* BreakingLecture: Gives one to Obito during their first meeting.
* BrokenAce: Having been raised in war and combat, he made a name for himself as one of the world's strongest, always fighting to protect the Uchiha. But after spending most of his life in war and losing all his brothers, Madara finally lost all hope after discovering that human conflict led to people stealing chakra from god, which only made the world worse. At this point he decides that the current world isn't worth caring about and pursues an AssimilationPlot.
* CameBackStrong: A villainous example. He was [[TheUndead resurrected]] in a younger form, close to the prime of his life, but he kept the modifications that he made to his body ([[GreenThumb Mokuton]], [[LivingBattery Hashirama's DNA]], and [[GameBreaker the Rinnegan!]]) after he faked his death at the Valley of the End. Combined with the fact that he now has [[CompleteImmortality infinite chakra and an immortal body]], he can now spam his [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Dangerous Forbidden Techniques]] without worrying about it affecting his stamina or lifespan. The only drawback is that his new body is still technically dead and can't be used as a host for the Ten-Tailed Beast, meaning he can't actually enact his own plan on his own. He is then fully resurrected in the flesh, which apparently let him use the full power of his modified body to give pause to nine tailed beasts combined. It is possible he is now actually stronger than Hashirama and definitely stronger when he became the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki.
* CameBackWrong: It's revealed that he was once one of the many reincarnations of Indra, one of the two sons of The Sage of Six Paths, along with Hashirama who was reincarnated from Asura. However, when he is brought back into flesh and blood in modern day Indra's soul had already moved onto Sasuke, with even the Sage stating Madara was no longer the exact same man as he was when he left the world. This trope is really just a matter-of-fact, as it doesn't really seem to play into Madara or his motives in the modern age.
* CassandraTruth: He sensed the distrust around him by the newly formed village, especially by Tobirama, and even his own clan. While he took Hashirama's nomination as the First Hokage in stride, he dismissed the notion that he could ever succeed Hashirama as Hokage, stating that it would likely go to Tobirama instead, and that then "The Senju will subjugate the Uchiha like a lowly servant". Well he was right eventually, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy although not to say that this is not his fault]].
* TheChessmaster: Moved the pieces into place prior to tasking Obito with implementing their plan. This included summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from the moon, producing the Zetsus (accidentally), transplanting his Rinnegan eyes into Nagato, planning Rin's death and Obito's subsequent FaceHeelTurn, and imparting Obito with the knowledge needed to implement the plan. But ultimately subverted since most of what he was planning failed and when he was resurrected during war, he became OpportunisticBastard.
* ChildhoodFriends: He used to be friends with Hashirama.
* ColonyDrop: Can summon asteroids to flatten his opponents. Onoki stopped one just in time, but Madara simply called down a second.
* CombatCompliment: Seems to love issuing these.
* CombatHandFan: Uses a ''gunbai''.
* TheComicallySerious: Is. He. EVER. Fans have found his "Oh, well." to be his best yet; especially considering the circumstances and everything that was going on.
* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:He rescues Obito only to turn him into the Tobi we all know and loathe.]]
* ClippedWingAngel: Madara resurrecting himself brings him back at full power, but because he gave away his Rinnegan eyes before he died the eyes granted to him by Edo Tensei crumble into ash. [[HandicappedBadass Even while blind he still manages to repeal Hashirama, Sasuke, and Naruto]].
* CombatSadomasochist: Absolutely loves powerful opponents capable of putting a heavy dent in him and returning the favour. [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven Take up to eleven]] with his reactions throughout tanking Might Gai's 8th Gate techniques.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Aside from the flashbacks, this is the result whenever he gets into a fight. Regardless if it's the five Kages, Tailed beasts, Hashirama, Tobirama, Sasuke, Naruto, or ''all of them combined''.
* TheCynic: He perceives the world as a dark place where there will always be winners and losers, and as being impossible to improve. However, he rejects the ultimate conclusion that nothing matters - if ''this'' world is hopeless, then he'll create a new one.
* DanceBattler: His taijutsu style. Possibly the reason why he refers to fights as "dances".
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: After the First Hokage defeated him, Madara transplanted cells from the First into his own body. On the verge of death, he awoke the Rinnegan and was able to summon and control the corpse of the Ten Tails. However at that time he was already an old man and сould not make proper use of his new abilities. Because of which he had to use it as a life support that left him trapped in a small chamber.
* DarkMessiah: He considers himself to be. He grew up in a warring states period that claimed most of his family, and learning that chakra was originally a gift that the Sage of Six Paths intended to connect humanity but instead ended up escalating wars, he determined that the only to peace was to become the [[PhysicalGod Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails]] and trap the entire planet in a LotusEaterMachine.
* DeadAllAlong: Downplayed; although he was dead by the start of the story, he lived long enough to have met both Nagato and Obito despite supposedly having died around 80 years previous.
* DespairEventHorizon: After spending most of his life in war and losing all his siblings, Madara finally lost all hope after discovering that human conflict led to people stealing chakra from god, which only made the world ''worse''.
* DespairGambit: He pulled one in order to bring Obito over to his side by manipulating various shinobi, including Rin, to create a situation where Obito would witness the death of the one person who made his life worth living. The ensuing despair made him the perfect accomplice for Madara's plan.
* TheDevilIsALoser: Well not exactly the devil but still. TheDreaded, ShroudedInMyth, WorldsStrongestMan villain... spent the last few years of his life squatting in a cave, depending on Zetsu for life support, obsessing over the misery his own shortcomings brought upon him and concluding [[NeverMyFault the entire world was to blame]]. Obito's not too impressed with him when they first meet, and Zetsu appears to consider his creator a loser despite doing his bidding; White Zetsu points out to Obito behind Madara's back that the Moon's Eye plan is mostly based on Madara's own {{Wangst}}, not a desire for peace.
* DiabolusExMachina: His power escalates through one of these after another.
* DidNotSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: Gets utterly screwed by Kaguya Ootsutsuki, whose son has been manipulating him all along.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He apparently never thought about the fact that Obito had virtually no motivation for resurrecting him and intended to hijack the Moon's Eye Plan for himself. The seal he placed on Obito's heart prevented him from becoming the Ten Tails' jinchūriki, but (as happened during Obito's fight against Kakashi) could be removed. He also never considered the possibility of Nagato dying before being able to use to resurrect him with the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.
* DiscardAndDraw: When he is finally revived for the sake of his plan, he loses his Edo Tensei immortality and the eyes recreated for him via the technique. However, he retains the ability to [[EnergyAbsorption absorb chakra]], in addition to stealing the [[SuperMode Sage Mode]] of Hashirama Senju and gaining his [[HealingFactor high-speed regeneration]], on top of the enhanced strength and speed provided by his modified body.
* DissonantSerenity: Madara's chill even as his plan to become the Ten Tails' Jinchuuriki temporarily goes down the dumper.
* DragonInChief: With Nagato sealed away, Itachi breaking free, and Mu mere moments from being defeated, Kabuto brings him out as a trump card and technically Madara was his TheDragon. But later Madara shown that he knew the hand signs to perform the Edo Tensei jutsu and, though Kabuto was defeated before finding this out, this meant that he could take control of his body at anytime he chose, and could even refuse to be un-summoned. In other words, he only let Kabuto ''think'' he was his Dragon.
* TheDreaded: Even decades after his death, his name alone is enough to make all the great villages ally against him. Tobi, aka Obito, takes advantage of this and pretty much goads the entire world into a war against himself just by ''impersonating'' him.
* DrivenByEnvy: His driving motivation is an combination of jealousy, arrogance, and stubbornness. While he and future 1st Hokage Hashirama Senju considered each other a WorthyOpponent while their families were at war, Madara went mad with envy when he ended up AlwaysSecondBest to Hashirama in the final days of the war and the early days of the Hidden Leaf Village their families founded together. Many of Madara's future actions can be chalked up directly to spite against his arch-rival's descendents; even nearly a century after the final battle between the two of them, Madara's ''still'' not over the fact that people chose to follow Hashirama's vision of the future instead of his own.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Once his master plan in finally underway, he's [[spoiler: abruptly replaced by Kaguya, who HijackedByGanon him.]]
* DynamicEntry: He ''loves'' making an entrance, dropping onto the ground like a ton of bricks and raising a dust cloud and rubble. One time, despite ''waiting'' for Hashirama, he ''still'' manages to pull it off by jumping the few meters from his "[[PassThePopcorn seat]]" to a cliff overlooking the newly arrived Hokage.
* EasilyForgiven: As he lays dying, he and Hashirama have a talk like they are old friends in spite of the fact that previously not only did he attack the first Hokage but also attempted to destroy Konoha all because he isn't declared Hokage.
* EnergyAbsorption: Using the Preta Path he can absorb an opponent's chakra. Even after being resurrected without his Rinnegan, he is able use the Senju cells within his body to drain Hashirama's senjutsu chakra and suck the Nine Tails chakra out of a number of Shinobi Alliance soldiers.
* EpicFail: When Madara spots Hashirama he [[SayMyName screams out his name]] with a SlasherSmile... and Hashirama tells him to shut up and wait his turn, rendering [[StunnedSilence Madara speechless with a comedic expression stuck on his face]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Say what you will about Madara and his intentions, but Madara truly loved his little brother, Izuna. As long as Madara had Izuna alive, he was reasonable and kind, and only wanted to protect the one younger brother he had left. It was only after Tobirama killed Izuna that Madara started to go off the deep end — and he made sure to let Tobirama feel this during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
* EvilCounterpart: One might examine Madara's character and find he is this to Itachi. Both were born into their clans as prodigies, both were in constant competition with their brothers and both loved their younger brothers very deeply. Hashirama claims that Madara loved his brother Izuna even more than Itachi loved Sasuke, and it's revealed that Izuna's death pushed Madara over the edge. In terms of jutsu, Itachi's plan to use Kotoamatsukami to brainwash Sasuke is NotSoDifferent from Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi, in that it sacrifices free will to achieve peace and cooperation. Later on, Itachi's use of Izanami acts as a Foil to Infinite Tsukuyomi by making the victim accept their true self rather than an ideal dream. Their main difference is in their ideologies; both are extreme, but also polar opposites; Madara is a BloodKnight who believes war is inevitable, and Itachi is a ShellShockedVeteran who sought to avert war at any cost.
* EvilFormerFriend: He and Hashirama Senju were friends as children, and the loss of that friendship was what caused Madara to first awaken his Sharingan. Even as an adult, Madara continued to acknowledge Hashirama as being the only [[WorthyOpponent person stronger than himself]].
* EvilGloating: He '''constantly''' brags about how superior he is to everyone else.
* EvilIsEasy: He effortlessly absorbs Ten Tails, because he and the beast's goal are the same, stripping mankind of freewill. The Sage of Six Paths had to battle the monster, and Obito as well was being torn apart, since part of him subconciously regretted the Eye of the Moon Plan.
* EvilIsNotAToy:
** Kabuto brings him back with Edo Tensei for his own amusement. When Kabuto's defeat dispels Edo Tensei, Madara breaks free of his control and advises the Kages to chastise Kabuto for dabbling in forbidden techniques.
** Then, shortly afterwards, [[spoiler:Madara gets hit by this himself when his ultimate plan turns out to have just been the resurrection scheme of [[TheManBehindTheMan someone even worse, who immediately possesses him]].]]
* EvilIsPetty: TheDreaded villain, ShroudedInMyth in backstory, strikingly powerful to the that point that OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow actually hits a WritersBlock... and yet, as a person beneath all that power and status, he's actually repulsive in a rather pathetic way. Madara is phenomenally self-centered and egotistical for a legend whose claim to fame is being AlwaysSecondBest to his rival Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage in Konoha's history; he reveals in a flashback that he was responsible for the poor diplomatic relations between Konoha and the Hidden Stone village when he sabotaged peace talks he was supposed to oversee purely to spite Hashirama's plan of making peace between the five great nations. And later not only did he attack the first Hokage but also attempted to destroy Konoha all because he isn't declared Hokage. He then dips into sexism during his posturing to try and intimidate the Kages, looking down on Tsunade's strength because she's a woman (though to his credit, he quickly recants his statement when she wrecks his Susano'o). When you realize the AssimilationPlot author is racing to thwart was cooked up by a spiteful, sexist warmonger out of no greater ambitions than as an ego trip, it allows Madara to rather spectacularly avert EvilIsCool.
* EvilMentor: To Tobi/Obito.
* EvilOldFolks: When he was alive, though ancient and decrepit, he was still plotting to capture all over the world in LotusEaterMachine and become a PhysicalGod.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Taken UpToEleven by Neil Kaplan in the dub.
* EvilRedHead: After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki his hair turns pale red. In the anime, however, it turns [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]].
* EvilerThanThou: The Nine-Tailed Fox, self-proclaimed hatred incarnate, calls Madara's chakra evil.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: His [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/5/5b/Madara%27s_Mangekyo_Sharingan.png/revision/latest?cb=20160428170911 Mangekyo Sharingan]],[[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/3/35/Madara%27s_Eternal_Mangekyo_Sharingan.png/revision/latest?cb=20160428171040 Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]] and [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/0/01/Madara%27s_Rinnegan_.png/revision/latest?cb=20141026151343 Rinnegan]].
* EyeScream: After Madara resurrects himself, his eyes crumble away leaving only empty sockets.
* FakingTheDead: Zigzagging trope. Believed dead after his battle with Hashirama, he used the following decades to perfect his EvilPlan until he died of old age well before the main story began. At that point his identity was assumed by Obito, his chosen successor who utilized Madara's reputation and apparent miraculous survival to his advantage.
* FallenHero: He was once an idealistic shinobi that wanted to protect the ninja world and make sure that no one else would die. That love turned into hatred after a everything kept going wrong.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: One thing that can awaken Sharingan is the loss of a loved one. Madara's Sharingan was awakened when he ended his friendship with Hashirama.
* FoeTossingCharge: Shown in the anime where him running into the Shinobi Alliance forces opposing him sent '''dozens''' of them flying.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** A very subtle one regarding his actual role in the plot: [[spoiler: Namely, the fact that he was [[UnwittingPawn a puppet on the strings of Kaguya and Black Zetsu]]. His resurrection and how he raised to become the next Sage of the Six Paths and enact the Moon’s Eye Plan at first look like the carefully orchestrated scheme from a typical {{Chessmaster}} ManipulativeBastard... until you look at it closely and realize that it hinges on what at first seems like a complete accident: He never planned to come back through the Edo Tensei. If Kabuto had not found Madara’s corpse and resurrected him in order to blackmail Obito, Madara would have remained dead and his ambition would never have come to fruition, as Obito was planning to take the Moon’s Eye Plan for himself and never intended to bring back Madara in the first place. For such a manipulative Big Bad to enter the plot in such a coincidental way seems odd, [[ThereAreNoCoincidences hinting that his resurrection was actually arranged by somebody else.]]]]
** The first hint that there might be something suspicious about [[spoiler: his resurrection happens during Hashirama’s recollection of their final battle. After defeating Madara, Hashirama briefly catches the glimpse of something or someone in the periphery. He also states that he suspects someone resurrected Madara. While Madara survived the battle in the Valley of the End through his own means, it’s later revealed that the presence that Hashirama saw was the Black Zetsu, who was observing the battle all along and later played a crucial role in Madara coming back to life the second time.]]
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[PlayingWithATrope Not ''forgotten'', so much as self-limited]]. Ever since his introduction, Madara has revealed to be able to use an incredible amount of techniques and jutsus, including, but not limited, to creating [[PlayingWithFire massive walls of fire]], using [[InstantArmor Susanoo]] in more than one form (the final form being a hundred-foot-tall one), using Rinnegan and its derivative techniques ([[EnergyAbsorption Chakra Absorption]], and a stronger variation of [[GravityMaster Shinra Tensei]]), summoning [[ColonyDrop meteors]], using massively powerful [[GreenThumb Wood Release techniques]], and the list goes on. Even when [[spoiler: he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, he focuses only on using the Truthseeker Orbs instead of any other techniques, even if it would help him in the fight (such as Susanoo, which is later shown to be ''even more powerful'' with the Tailed Beasts' combined chakra)]]. Yet he only uses each technique once... simply so he can drag out the fights, and make things more interesting/fun for himself; even fighting against a WorthyOpponent - [[spoiler:namely an Eight Gates Might Guy]] - doesn't have him drop his self-rule.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: Co-founded the Leaf with Hashirama Senju and he is the one who ''gave'' the village the name "The Village Hidden in the Leaf". This is almost universally forgotten or voluntarily ignored by Naruto's time, given he tried to destroy the Leaf after leaving it.
* FreudianExcuse: He lost all of his brothers in war against the Senju Clan. Even after all of this, he eventually agrees to a truce, only for his clan to later turn around and choose Hashirama as leader of the village over him. Then he reads a secret tablet about the history of the world, revealing that the war-torn world they lived in had always been that way and that even someone's successful attempt to steal and use a godlike power to end war didn't work. At this point he decides that the current world isn't worth caring about and pursues an AssimilationPlot.
* GambitRoulette: [[spoiler:He was the true mastermind behind Rin's death, since all of the abductors were being mind-controlled by Madara and Rin herself had seal on her heart in order to she couldn't kill herself so Obito had to watch her be murdered not knowing she likely chose it. The entire thing was planned to destroy Obito's idealism and turn him evil. The fact that Rin committed suicide via Kakashi was a happy coincidence.]]
* GameFace: Sports an '''epic''' one when he senses Hashirama's chakra.
* {{Genius Bruiser}}: Given that he was the one who came up with the [[AssimilationPlot Moon's Eye Plan]], he definitely qualifies. Taken a step further with his manipulation of Obito.
* GenreBlindness: His entire plan is a massive case of GenreBlindness. He learns that his ancestor broke a taboo and tried to use the power of God to put an end to all wars, yet in the end she only managed to cause more strife and conflict. So what he decides to do? ''[[DramaticallyMissingthePoint To obtain the power of God and use it to put an end to all wars, of course!]]'' [[spoiler:As someone with such massive hubris, [[UnwittingPawn it ultimately ends]] [[EvilIsNotAToy as well for him]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness as you might]] [[DemonicPossession imagine]].]]
* GenerationXerox: Most notably with Sasuke with both of them torn between their friendships and with their Rivals, namely Hashirama and Naruto, and how every time they went to extreme lengths to acquire power to defeat said rivals, avenge previous losses and desire for world peace through particularly violent and self righteous methods and desire for personal reward without considering how others might feel and react. Literally as well, as Sasuke is the incarnation of [[EternalHero Indra Otsutsuki]] after him.
* TheGift: Was born with exceptional chakra even by the standards of the battle-oriented and highly gifted Uchiha Clan. Madara was the first to unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan and the only one (until Sasuke obtained it) to have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He was also the first person since the Sage of Six Paths to awaken the Rinnegan.
* AGodAmI: His true goal of Infinite Tsukuyomi - With the most powerful chakra after taking away everyone else, he'll rule over everyone and 'force peace' onto them.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: After failing to become Hokage, Madara dedicated his time to studying the Uchiha stone tablet and discovered that chakra was stolen from a god to stop human conflict but only made things worse. After concluding that mankind was cursed and any attempt at peace was futile, he decided to place humanity in a LotusEaterMachine to end all conflicts in the world.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: As a zombie, he could afford to let himself be hit and just instantly regenerate. Even as a human it doesn't matter, since he can get replacement parts from Zetsu. As the host of the Ten-Tails, his entire right side basically explodes and he regenerates it almost immediately.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:He organized StartOfDarkness for Obito with two goals: Firstly in order to Obito wanted to fulfill his plan and secondly in order to he had the full loyalty to him and unquestioningly obeyed his plan. The first part worked beyond any expectation, the second... [[TheStarscream not so much]].]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: Madara is one of the reasons for the whole plot of the series, being the one who began the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan along with manipulating and twisting Obito into his successor. Madara is indirectly responsible for almost every bad deed to happen within the context of Akatsuki's actions and also being responsible for the Uchiha Clan having a tarnished reputation, indirectly fueling his descendants future.
* GreenThumb: Possesses the Mokuton via Kabuto's "modifications", though he also had access to it in his twilight years.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Courtesy of Sasuke, not that this actually stopped him thanks to his HealingFactor. His lower half was later found by the Hokage.
* HandicappedBadass: Despite being revived blind, he's able to use his sensing to easily deal with Sasuke's attacks and gain Sage Mode from Hashirama. Naruto in Sage Mode couldn't even put up a fight at all, and that was before he got Hashirama's Sage Mode.
* HateSink: Between [[HeManWomanHater bashing women]], [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman considering the Bijuu as mindless slaves]], [[HeroKiller putting the two protagonists at death's doorstep]], turning [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Obito's]] [[BreakTheCutie life into a nightmare so bad]] [[CorruptTheCutie he would try to remake reality]] and [[InvincibleVillain surviving every goddamn thing they throw at him]],his seems to serve no better purpose than this. In-universe, the number of people who don't [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating completely despise him can easily be counted on one hand.]]
** But ultimately subverted since Madara was relieved of his duties in this role, thanks [[TheManBehindTheMan Kaguya]] and the story giving Madara an AlasPoorVillain sendoff.
* HealingFactor: Hashirama's cells bestow him with regenerative capabilities exceeding Tsunade's.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Madara's desire to protect Izuna caused him to discard his friendship with Hashirama, and his failure to do so consumed him with [[ThePowerOfHate hatred for the Senju]] to the point where he said nothing short of Hashirama committing suicide or killing his own younger brother would change his opinion. Hashirama's willingness to take him up on the former convinces Madara to give their old friendship another shot... until he overhears Tobirama criticizing Hashirama's wish to make Madara the First Hokage and stating that the village - including the Uchiha - would never accept him, causing Madara [[HeelFaceDoorSlam to become]] a BloodKnight nihilist and attempt to annihilate the village with the Nine Tails.
* HeroKiller: He puts both Naruto and Sasuke on their deathbeds in just two chapters. It didn't stick, but that doesn't change the fact that he did it. He also would have possibly killed the five kages if Karin and Suigetsu didn't heal Tsunade.
* HijackingCthulhu: In direct contrast to Obito, Madara effortlessly manages to tame the Ten-Tails after becoming its jinchuuriki because [[EvilIsEasy they both want the same thing]].
* HopeSpot: Madara summons a meteorite to hit the entire Fourth Division. When Onoki and Gaara managed to stop it with great effort saving everyone below. Madara...
--> '''Madara''': Now then, Onoki... [[WhamLine What will you do about the second one?]]
--> [Second meteorite falls on top of the first one]
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** He calls chakra a source of endless suffering and says that his ultimate goal is to save humanity by creating a dream world without chakra. But apparently Madara does not see any problem to make himself in this new world the sole owner of the chakra which he so despises.
** He mocks Obito and tells him that he's too arrogant for thinking that he could manipulate other people without being manipulated himself. However Madara himself thinks that he was the only who he could manipulate other people and not being manipulated himself. [[TheManBehindTheMan Black Zetsu]] laughs at him because of this and telling him that he was just a pawn, the same as Obito.
** After activation the Infinite Tsukuyomi he speaks Naruto that he has no right intervene in people's lives. It sounds very hypocritically from man who intervene in many people's life by force of taking away their under control of everlasting illusion.
** Despite claiming that his motivation for casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi is bringing peace to the world, it's clear that he [[BloodKnight absolutely loves battle and violence.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Every time someone gains an advantage over him, Madara finds a way to NoSell it.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** During his legendary fight with Hashirama Senju, his opponent seemingly killed him by sticking a sword into his back. That didn't stick.
** Also when Obito betrays Madara, [[HesBack declaring himself to be Obito once again]], then plunges his hand through Madara's chest, taking Yin Kurama and part of the other Tailed Beasts, which he then restores to Naruto.
** He gets impaled by Obito's hand again, [[spoiler:under the control of Black Zetsu, who has just betrayed him.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Had a truly massive one with the 1st Hokage. Much of the current conflict in the story can be traced back to his inability to accept being AlwaysSecondBest to him.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Ok, so the newly founded village doesn't trust you, even after all you did for them (including ''name'' them). Your ''own'' clan stops trusting you because they see your dire warnings of them being wiped out as paranoia from a man [[AlwaysSecondBest who came second to Hashirama]]. So how to fix this? How about undermining everything Hashirama had done to create peace between the newly-formed villages, then try to kill him? That would definitely work out with ''no'' serious repercussions for your clan whatsoever.
* InstantArmor:
** His Susano'o guards him from all attacks and he can spawn it at any moment, [[AssPull even if he doesn't have any eyes]].
** His Susanoo's final form can function as this for a Tailed Beast. In his fight with Hashirama Senju, he used it for the Nine-Tailed Fox.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Using Hashirama's cells, Madara can summon a wood dragon with a Gonzo-like nose.
* InstantExpert: It took him only a few seconds to fully master Sage Mode despite the fact [[BeyondTheImpossible that it was previously stated that no one is able to resist natural energy with the first attempt]].
* InvincibleVillain: WordOfGod confirms this, and he goes through various stages of it: an unbound, limitlessly regenerating zombie; a super-tough mortal that can replace limbs on a whim; and finally host to the Ten Tails with all its powers and a HealingFactor that can regenerate basically any injury. It's only until Might Guy goes all Eight Gates that he finally meets someone not named Hashirama that can do more than mildly inconvenience him, and even that fight only ended in Guy's favor when Guy used [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique a suicide technique]] to basically one shot him, which didn't stick because of the aforementioned healing. When Naruto and Sasuke gain the powers of the Sage's sons and not only match him, [[CurbstompBattle but surpass him]], he runs off and grabs his other Rinnegan eye, bringing him back on par with them and letting him enact his endgame. WordOfGod even admitted at one point that [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow even he had no idea how Naruto and the others could possibly defeat him.]] He is finally defeated when his own [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan (seeming)]] subordinate forcibly converts him into an ''even more powerful'' antagonist.
* {{Irony}}:
** Being an immortal zombie with endless chakra is what makes him truly invincible but it also prevents him from becoming the Juubi's jinchuuriki and completing the Moon Eye Plan.
** One of the only blatantly sexist characters in the series turns out to have been dancing on a woman's strings. [[spoiler:His body is even turned into her own.]]
** Also, the flashbacks with him and Hashirama as children have him explicitly stating that he is always aware of his surroundings, especially who or what is behind him. [[spoiler:Both Hashirama and Black Zetsu defeat him from behind.]]
** Given his response to the Will of Fire below, it can only be called {{Irony}} that [[spoiler: his final defeat happens due to a manifestation of the will of an even more powerful being.]]
** Madara is a reincarnation of Indra like Sasuke, but he reverses their early bloomer and late bloomer dynamic with their Senju counterparts, to the point where he spent more than his lifetime trying to surpass his rival and eventually succeeded.
* ItsAllAboutMe: As per the usual for Uchihas. Which, considering he was once their Head and among the most influential in their history (founding Konoha alongside Hashirama) means he set the standard for them during the time of the Hidden Villages. First he was mad because his clan wanted to stop fighting the Senju clan ([[SunkCostFallacy because he believed that it would render the sacrifices of countless Uchiha - including his own brother senseless]]). Then when he's still agreed to a truce he throw ''a tantrum'' because ''he'' didn't get to be Hokage (because he believed that if the First Hokage was Hashirama it would mean that the Second would be Tobirama and the Uchiha clan would come to an end). Then he was displeased that the Uchiha clan did not listen to his warning and decided to ''forget about them''. Then he decided to read a secret tablet about the history of the world revealing that [[AwfulTruth the war-torn world they lived in had always been that way]] and that even attempt his ancestor to use the power of God to put an end to all wars didn't work. After this Madara in his turn ''himself'' decided [[GenreBlindness try to get the power of God and use it to put an end to all wars]] because he apparently believed that ''he'' will succeed where his predecessor failed. Herewith he decided to completely ignore security and life ''all'' those who stand in his way including of his best friend, of his own clan, of his own village and in principle all people living on the planet.
* ItsPersonal: Possibly moreso with Tobirama than Hashirama. After beating Hashirama, he merely steals the latter's Sage Mode. Once he beats Tobirama, he throws an extra and unnecessary stake through the latter's head for killing Izuna.
* IWasQuiteALooker: We have both seen him [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111021121432/naruto/images/0/0f/Madara-Uchiha-madara-Anime.jpg as a warrior in his prime]] and [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ElderMadara_2883.jpg as a withered husk of a man]]. He was resurrected in his more dashing form by Kabuto.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even before his HeelFaceTurn, Kurama claimed that [[EvilerThanThou Madara's chakra is more sinister than his own]], and when he recognized Madara's presence in the war, he immediately pulled an EnemyMine with Naruto. Uchiha Madara is pretty much the biggest dick in the entire series, and that says ''a lot.''
** He refused to stop his fight with Hashirama despite them both being zombies anyway and Obito's about to obliterate everyone in the barrier and acts offended that Hashirama considers that to be more important than fighting him again.
** Constantly referring to the Bijuu as ''filthy beasts'' certainly qualifies. Remember that it's been established that all the Tailed Beasts have their own names and feelings; Madara keeps alluding that the Bijuu are nothing more than mindless monsters running around unsupervised and that they deserved to have a leash tied around their necks. What a jerk.
* TheJuggernaut: Nothing the good guys have tried has even come close to slightly inconveniencing him. [[spoiler:[[BeyondTheImpossible Was needed more powerful antagonist reviving herself to defeat him.]]]]
* JustToyingWithThem: As of his resurrection, he is easily the second strongest ninja of all time after the Sage of Six Paths. He could easily wipe out the five Kage, but just ends up playing with them until his enjoyment is ruined, after which he proceeds to CurbStompBattle them off-panel and crash Obito's party. Afterwards, he continues playing or sitting around and is largely content to just watch as the Shinobi Alliance battles with Tobi and the Ten Tails, even though he could probably defeat everyone outright. He only gets serious when his plans are about to be disrupted, and even then, he is reluctant to interrupt his fun.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He extracted Kurama from Naruto in order to become the Juubi jinchuuriki, putting him on the verge of death. After Kaguya regurgitates him, he dies shortly after due to no longer having the tailed beasts within him.]]
* KickTheDog:
** ''He's'' the one who got Rin killed, with the Zetsus intentionally bringing Obito just too late to help, to BreakTheCutie and get Obito on board with the Moon's Eye plan.
** He's quite the bastard, and ''refuses'' to allow Obito to escape him and/or redeem himself.
* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Manipulating the Zetsu parts in Obito to make him do his bidding certainly counts. Bonus points for Obito being beaten half dead by Kakashi, and even more bonus points for the technique that Madara's forcing him to use being a fatal one. It's hard to feel sorry for Obito after all the atrocities he's commited.
*** Partially subverted now that it's known Madara manipulated Obito in order to enact his plan from the beginning by setting up Rin's death.
** [[spoiler: Then he gets this treatment from Black Zetsu - whose will is actually that of Kaguya. See YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness. And for added [[HeManWomanHater irony]], he's been the pawn of a woman all this time.]]
** With the revelation that [[spoiler: Sasuke's supposed HeelFaceTurn was really just an EnemyMine, and his intent all along was to get Madara and Obito out of the way so he could start his own revolution, Madara impaling him through the heart suddenly seems a lot less cruel and more LaserGuidedKarma.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: His arrival on the battlefield turns the table against the Alliance from a swift victory of hope to a losing CurbStompBattle of despair. His complete revival [[YankTheDogsChain quickly reverts all that the heroes fought to achieve]] and puts both of the protagonists at death's doorstep.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Given all the circumstances surrounding his final falling, let's say karma made him pay with interests for all the shit he pulled off:
** [[spoiler: He enacted the Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to force peace and become the savior of the world. Turns out the Infinite Tsukuyomi was only a scheme from the Black Zetsu to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and the only thing Madara achieved was to become the perfect vessel for her while allowing her to reclaim her former power.]]
** [[spoiler:He used the power of the shinju to drain the chakra out of the Allied Shinobi Forces trying to put a stop to his plan. His fall from grace begins when Black Zetsu forcefully pumps in the chakra of those who were caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi (i.e. nearly everyone on earth).]]
** [[spoiler: Deliberately manipulated and corrupted Obito in order to enact his plan, then nonchalantly forced him to sacrifice his life in order to fully resurrect. Turns out Madara himself was unwittingly corrupted and manipulated all along by the Black Zetsu, and once the plan was completed, Black Zetsu proceeded to sacrifice him to resurrect Kaguya while mocking him for thinking he was any different from Obito. Bonus points for that he did it is with the help of Obito's body, a man to whom he spoiled life and mocked before.]]
** [[spoiler: Nigh invincible juggernaut with the most powerful bloodline limits grafted into his body, [[SmugSuper always proud to rub it in the face of everyone he crossed paths with]]. He eventually becomes the Juubi jinchuuriki while curbstomping everyone in his path. His final defeat consists of getting unceremoniously stabbed in the back [[EvilGloating (while he was gloating about his triumph, no less)]] and forcibly converted into the vessel of a more powerful being. When Kaguya is sealed again, she expunges him from her body and he loses all the power he once obtained: The Rinnegan, the Mokuton and the tailed beasts, even his eyes are completely blind to reinforce this point.]]
** [[spoiler: Unlike his rival Hashirama, he rejected the idea of [[PassingTheTorch nurturing the younger generation for them to carry on his beliefs and continue his dreams]]. Indeed, he constantly dismissed people from younger generations while mocking their ideals. This included his own descendants who he only saw as tools to be used. Turns out he was part of a long line of reincarnations of Indra who were only seen and used as tools by the Black Zetsu to resurrect his eldest ancestor. In the end, the youngsters he dismissed were the ones who saved the world from Kaguya and, ultimately, stopped the cycle of revenge between Senju and Uchiha that he and Hashirama failed to curtail. As he lies dying as a broken man, he is forced to admit that Hashirama’s way was superior, because the dream of his rival will continue through the Leaf Village and the Will of Fire while his own ends with his death. The only consolation that allows him to let go of his grudges and [[PeacefulInDeath die peacefully]] is that Hashirama still considers him a comrade.]]
* LaughingMad: After his resurrection and receiving his Rinnegan he licks his blood and starts madly laugh rejoicing taste new of battle.
* LightIsNotGood: After he becomes the Ten Tails' new Jinchuuriki, just like Obito, he's clad almost completely in white, and his skin also turns this color.
* LightningBruiser: He's fast and strong enough to CurbStompBattle almost everyone he faces.
* LivingShadow: His "Limbo: Hengoku" technique creates an invisible, immaterial doppleganger for a limited time. The doppleganger is every bit as dangerous as Madara himself, being capable of sending all nine Tailed Beasts flying, and is immune to everything except Sage attacks. He gets ''four'' of them when he regains his other Rinnegan. Only Sasuke's Sage-granted Rinnengan eye can actually see the copies, though Naruto can sense their presence.
* LotusEaterMachine: His ultimate ambition for world peace, despite the entire shinobi world being united against him to stop it from happening, though it turns out to belong to both Black Zetsu and Kaguya's ultimate plan, and he was their unwitting pawn.
* MadeOfIron: Madara literally became a human ping-pong ball for the Tailed Beasts when he charged headfirst into the fray, was hit with some of the strongest attacks seen in the series (Five-Tails horn attack that wounded the ''Eight-Tails'', Six-Tails' ''pool of acid'', etc.) - each attack getting stronger since the One through Seven Tailed Beast hit him one after the other - which finally culminated in ALL the tailed beasts smashing ''through'' his Senjutsu powered Complete ''Susanoo'' with their respective tails, and the only thing they get for their trouble is a slightly battered Madara and a missing arm, which he quickly replaces. The whole time, Madara expresses disdain for him only expressing anger when Gaara and Shukaku nearly managing to ''seal'' him after Gaara turned him into a Person Puppet.
* MagicalEye: In addition to the [[RedEyesTakeWarning Sharingan]] above he has the Eternal Magenkyou Sharingan. He also bears the Rinnegan and with it the powers of the Six Paths, [[spoiler:and later still awakens the Rinne Sharingan as the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki]].
* TheManBehindTheMan: Subverted with Obito. Although he was responsible behind his StartOfDarkness and FaceHeelTurn, all the same, after his death he losing control of situation since Obito took control of his plan and going to use it for himself.
* ManBitesMan: Stole Hashirama's cells by biting off a piece of his flesh during battle.
* ManipulativeBastard: He's the one who made Obito the way he is, organizing his StartOfDarkness and manipulating him that he went along with his Moon's Eye Plan. [[GoneHorriblyRight Though not to tell that his manipulation fully went as he wanted]]. [[SoreLoser Madara of course would rather bite out his own tongue than admit this]].
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: [[spoiler: He successfully casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi, thinking he saved the world by putting everyone in under a lie... only to be backstabbed by Black Zetsu who then tells him that the moons eye plan was itself a lie, it's real purpose was to resurrect Kaguya and he now made himself the perfect vessel for her return. Leaving it up to the heroes who managed to evade the genjutsu, to put a stop to Kaguya and fix the mess he made.]]
* MindManipulation: He has extremely strong genjutsu.
* MissingStepsPlan: His master plan was missing a few steps, such as how he planned to get revived the way he intended without help outside of the Rinne Tensei technique.
* MoralityPet: Izuna. Izuna's death is what turned him into the man he is today.
* {{Narcissist}}: Thinks of himself as "extraordinary" and the greatest genius who ever lived; he's totally self-centred and cares nothing for anyone or anything but himself and his own grandiose ambitions. He is also insistent that he, and '''he alone''', can complete his plan since no one except him is worthy to lead all in the infinite illusion. He is also was the leader of clan especially known for their arrogance and even there he was regards himself as wholly superior.
* NearVillainVictory: He almost achieves his goal, where the Infinite Tsukuyomi is a success. But after Black Zetsu betrays him and pulls a GrandTheftMe on his body to become the host for Kaguya. And when her spirit is sealed off by the heroes, Madara loses his Sage form, undoing the Infinite Tsukuyomi and causing his body to die for good.
* NervesOfSteel: To the point where Obito blowing his plan up in his face doesn't even make him change expressions from his deadpan smirk. Also when revived, he is mortal, alone, blind, and facing the entire alliance backed by the released bijuu. [[BadassBoast He simply states that he is going to hunt and capture all the bijuu by himself.]]
** However, he doesn't take it well at all when [[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown Black Zetsu betrays him.]]]]
* NeverMyFault: Madara thinks he is living in a CrapsackWorld and blaming him for the suffering that he endured in his life despite being that most of these problems were caused his actions. He accuses Tobirama of murder Izuna despite being that Madara on that moment was the leader of Uchiha clan (whose members if believe the words Hashirama have already understood that the Senju clan was stronger than they) and Hashirama himself already have offered him peace and if he was not so stubborn then his brother perhaps would still be alive. Also he accuses his clan and his village in that they does not want to he became Hokage despite being that exactly his behavior is a key part of the why his not want see Hokage. And also considers his suffering after his defeat by Hashirama absolutely not deserve despite being that he the one who instigate the fight and what he tried to destroy everything about what they dreamed of for years to come.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands:
** Since his resurrection, Madara just kept on revealing one new ability after the other to NoSell everything they threw at him. Pitched to collide against a Rasen Shuriken? Activate the Rinnegan! Outnumbered five to one? Summon clones and have them use Susanoo! Faced with a barrage of elemental and disintegrating attacks? Summon a mountain busting Susanoo! The guy who summoned you got defeated? Break your contract and fight on with unlimited chakra! [[SerialEscalation And the list goes on...]]
** Once he is revived and no longer immortal, he retains somehow the ability to absorb chakra through his Senju cells and goes on to steal Hashirama's Senjutsu-enhanced HealingFactor. When he is crushed under a pyramid of sand enhanced by Shukaku he simply bursts out with Susanoo despite having no eyes! Getting crushed by nine Bijuu tail whips and losing an arm? Have White Zetsu return your right Rinnegan and give his own arm as a replacement! You're the one against nine Tailed Beasts? Suddenly appears ability Limbo which was created solely to catch the Tailed Beasts off guard so that Madara can easily defeat and seal them!
* NobleDemon: Well, at one point, he was certainly noble enough to bring an end to the Warring Clans era, and co-found Konoha with his most hated enemy, and former friend. [[ThenLetMeBeEvil But things changed]]...
* NotSoStoic:
** He remained fairly cool and level-headed despite being in the middle of a massive war where his side consists of two people and a barely-controlled monster. Then Hashirama shows up and Madara slips into BloodKnight mode. He soon goes back to his normal personality, only for it to slip twice when he goes mad with power on being resurrected and then joy when realizing Guy is a WorthyOpponent.
** Aslo during his childhood and in the early days of Konoha's existence after the war ended, during which which he has a HairTriggerTemper at any point where anything Hashirama does to intentionally unnerve him definitely puts him off...
* OhCrap:
** What people say or express on their faces when facing him. Even the Tailed Beasts, ''the strongest beings in the series besides the Ten-Tails and Kaguya'', are scared when they realize their attacks are not even slowing him down.
** However he is susceptible to it himself. One second and you can skip this in the manga (more noticeably in the anime) but a second before as Minato attacks Obito, when Madara tried to force Obito to fully resurrect himself, this is his face. Apparently in this moment he understands what Obito overcome his control and all this time the absorption of the Ten-Tails in himself.
** Also get a split second OhCrap when Guy attacks with the 7th Gate.
** [[DidNotSeeThatComing A spectacular one]] pops in his face [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness as he gets backstabbed by Zetsu]] and [[OutGambitted sacrificed to revive Kaguya.]]
* OneManArmy: To the point why you have to wonder why he even bothered to build the Zetsu army in the first place. This man is basically the equivalent of a space age armada versus a group of cavemen armed with sticks.
* OneWingedAngel: The absorption of the Juubi into the Ten-tails Jinchuuriki and becoming the equivalent of the ''Sage of the Six Paths''. [[UpToEleven As if he wasn't bad enough already.]]
* OpportunisticBastard: Madara had a plan with actual claim to {{Chessmaster}} status before his resurrection. However, he was returned to life with a series of mishaps: his former apprentice having hijacked his old plan and him being revived by the dark Impure World Resurrection technique, and since then has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. Then Madara tries regain control of the situation using his back-up plan but eventually got OutGambitted from Obito. Further Madara sits and waits for until the Alliance weaken Obito sufficiently, to Black Zetsu forces him to revive Madara.
* OptOut: He leaves the Ten-Tails to fight the shinobi forces, having decided to go fight the revived First Hokage.
* OutGambitted:
** Madara gets from Obito. Obito knew that Madara going use him for own resurrection and he knew that Madara placed a seal on him heart which prevents him from becoming the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki. So he goaded Kakashi into stabbing him in the heart to remove seal and become Jinchuuriki.
** [[spoiler:Later received another one from Black Zetsu which literally backstabs him and to use him as fodder for Kaguya's resurrection.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: That big thing on his back (see picture). Actually, not a paper fan. It's a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunbai type of Japanese war fan]], more precisely a [[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Gunbai_fan gunbai]]. They're usually made of wood or some other durable material. Obito kept it for him while maintaining his identity.
* PassingTheTorch: Does not believe in this, as he sees will as something that cannot be inherited. Interestingly, his entire plan is based around avoiding this - while he leaves Tobi in charge and counts on Nagato's power, the final phase is to resurrect him so that he can finish what he started.
** He later admits this is his FatalFlaw. He felt that he couldn't trust later generations to fulfill his dreams, so he tried to take a dangerous shortcut instead.
* PassThePopcorn: He's more than happy to sit back and watch the Ten Tails go on a rampage against the Shinobi Alliance. At least, he was until he got bored waiting for Hashirama to deal with Obito. Justified, since he and [[DragonWithAnAgenda Obito]] don't have the same plans for the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
* PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler:For all the shit he's pulled, he ends up dying this way, EasilyForgiven by his former friend Hashirama, who gives him a few last words of comfort.]]
* PeoplePuppets: He can control anyone with Zetsu cells in their bodies.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: After his resurrection, explicitly deployed as one. He didn't disappoint, going to 3rd highest bodycount (after the multiplied White Zetsu and Pain) over just two chapters. Some time after that, he used his Susanoo to slice through an entire mountain range, ALONG with the giant meteorites he called down himself. In his legendary final battle with Hashirama Senju the two of them carved out the Valley of the End, and following his resurrection he states the Kage are lucky Hashirama wasn't revived as well so that the maps wouldn't need to be redrawn "[[BadassBoast too much]]".
* PhysicalGod: When all combined shinobi and tailed beasts in the world can barely slow you down this trope is an understatement. He becomes this in full as the third jinchuuriki of the Ten Tailed Beast.
* PlayingWithFire: He created the strongest Fire technique so far without any strain, as a form of greeting.
* PlotArmor: Villainous version. Since his resurrection, Madara got in a few situations in which he was very close to defeat, only to [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands suddenly demonstrate a new power that had never been seen or even hinted at before]], or [[BeyondTheImpossible just doing impossible action without explanation]]. His most iconic one may be when he was somehow knowing how terminate the contract with Edo Tensei when the person who summoned him was defeated despite the fact that even the original creator of this jutsu does not know how to do it. And as if in confirmation of this when his PlotArmor disappeared (after activation Infinite Tsukiyomi) he was defeated literally one hit in the back from Black Zetsu which showed that he manipulated Madara all this time and to use him as fodder for Kaguya's resurrection.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain[=/=]HeManWomanHater: As if there weren't enough reasons to absolutely despise him in-universe, he's openly sexist and spends much of his fight with Tsunade bashing her.
* PowerEchoes: When he becomes the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki in the anime, his voice acquires a reverberating undertone that emphasizes he's attained a whole new level of power.
* PowerNullifier: While the jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails, his attacks negate other jutsu, save for Sage attacks and pure taijutsu.
* PredecessorVillain: He was the First Hokage's most powerful enemy, and he tried to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village long before Naruto was born. However, he's also the villain in the present time.
* {{Pride}}: Big time. Uchiha in general don't have a reputation of humility, but Madara really takes the cake. When finally deciding to unleash his full Susanoo vs the five Kages, he takes the time to destroy a mountain range for no discernable reason other than showing off. He wasn't even aiming at the Kages.
* PsychopathicManchild: A Type C. He's incredibly powerful, the head of his clan, and the co-founder of the Hidden Leaf Village... is nothing but him throwing a temper-tantrum after eavesdropping on Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, in their own home, and hearing Tobirama express his opinion that the title of Hokage should be voted on by the Village Elders and Clan Heads instead of just being handed to Madara because Hashirama wants him to have it. Ironically, Madara probably could have been voted Hokage if he didn't have a history of behaving this way. He also treats his newfound power as host to the Ten-Tails as if he were a child with a new toy as well as when he's fighting Eighth Gate!Gai he started behave like a child asking him to show him the best of his ability. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, he is extremely cocky.]]
* TheRealRemingtonSteele: The reason he's such a WalkingSpoiler.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Gives one to Tsunade after he finds out she is Hashirama's descendant because she needed to use hand seals to heal herself, while Hashirama could do it at will, but he later rectified after seeing her Sōzō Saisei, comparing to be equal to Hashirama. This didn't stop him from crushing her seconds later though.
** Also gave one to the Kyuubi in a flashback, and a more general one to the current Kages. He pretty much thinks that everyone other than himself and the 1st Hokage sucks.
** [[spoiler:Gave one to Obito after he went against him, telling him the truth about the death of Rin and pointing that he's too arrogant for thinking that he could manipulate other people without being manipulated himself.]]
** And in an ironic reversal of the above, [[spoiler: Madara himself receives one just as he is betrayed by Black Zetsu, who mocks him for thinking about himself that he could manipulate other people without being manipulated himself, when in truth he was just the same as Obito all along: An UnwittingPawn.]]
* RedHerring: Tobi claimed he was Madara, and every clue pointed in that direction. Then Kabuto resurrected the real Madara, blowing away Tobi's facade.
* RedemptionRejection: No matter how many times Hashirama extends an olive branch, Madara is simply too self-righteous to give up on the Moon Eye Plan. He only realizes his mistakes by the time he's about to die for the second time.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Madara is the reincarnation of Indra, the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son.
* RetiredMonster: In the many years between his disgraceful defeat at the hands of Hashirama and when he rescues Obito, time has worn away at whatever power Madara had once possessed. When Obito awakens to see him, he is a short, one-eyed, shriveled old man who relies on the Mazo statue as a life support system to keep him alive, quite a whiplash from his [[WorldsStrongestMan previous appearance]].
* RevengeBeforeReason: After Izuna's death, Madara decides to continue the war with the Senju clan even when other members of his clan wanted to give up. [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor He eventually agreed to a temporary truce]], but that didn't last long due to being rejected as a Hokage candidate and due to reading the falsely edited Uchiha tablet.
* TheRival: To Hashirama, during the Clan Wars. It went on after the Leaf's foundation, since he competed with him (and lost) to become the first Hokage, despite Hashirama ''endorsing him''. Worse yet, they also heavily disagreed on how to achieve world peace; Hashirama believed that the village system can serve as a starting point for later generations to improve upon while Madara believed in brainwashing humanity.
* SayMyName: HASHIRAMAAAAAAAAAA!!!
* SealedEvilInACan: Was trapped in a small chamber due to having to use the Gedo Mazo as a life support system.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: He has become jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails and thus, the third Sage of Six Paths.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Back in the early days of the village, Madara worried that the Senju Clan would eventually kill off the Uchiha Clan and wanted them to cut ties with the village because of this. While this ''did'' eventually happen, it was largely because Madara's own disciple (Obito) attacked the village and framed the Uchiha Clan for it; worsening the clan's relationship with the village and eventually leading them to plan a coup. That in turn leads to a massacre in which said disciple directly participated.
* ShyBladder: He can't pee whenever someone stands behind him, as Hashirama demonstrated when they were young.
* SinisterScythe: His weapon of choice, used as a cane in his old age.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: Probably the biggest example in the series. Despite becoming one of the most powerful beings in the world capable of trashing anyone in combat, and despite the fact that he [[spoiler: did completed the Moon’s Eye Plan]], he ultimately ends as the biggest loser in the series, not only failing to achieve any of his goals, but only making things worse for himself and everyone else in the process. [[spoiler: Izuna's death, the destruction of the Uchiha clan, the animosity between the ninja villages, Akatsuki and their misdeeds, the Fourth Shinobi World War, all those events were caused directly or indirectly by his actions despite his stated intentions of bringing everlasting peace and protecting his brother and his clan. Even his grand plan to become the savior of the world ended in failure as it was actually the scheme of somebody else. In their final conversation, Hashirama points out that his problem was his cynicism, as he just refused to trust other people and share his burdens with them, a path that ultimately lead to his ruin. Madara concedes that Hashirama might have a point, but it's too late now.]]
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: His response to the "Will of Fire".
--> '''Madara''': ''"You can't defeat power with will."''
* SlasherSmile:
** He sports one when he realizes that revived Hashirama is heading to the battlefield. He ''literally starts shaking with excitement''; it's rather disconcerting to see the usually stoic Madara filled with [[NotSoStoic psychotic glee.]]
** He does it again when he's revived from the dead.
* SmugSmiler: He sports one when Obito becomes the Ten-Tail Jinchuuriki. He then gives another one when he's about to sic Black Zetsu on Obito to revive him, while pinned down by the technique that held the TEN-TAILS in place.
* SmugSnake: While he is certainly enough powerful and skilled compared with conventional representatives this trope but he all the same is fully suitable under this. He considers himself the greatest [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] and ManipulativeBastard when in fact a large part of his plan, relied on planning [[DragonInChief Obito]] who ultimately took control of his plan and going to use it for himself. If not [[TheManBehindtheMan Black Zetsu]], Madara would never has appeared at war. But even his appearance at the war does not change the situation much since his back-up plan was OutGambitted Obito who became Jinchuuriki Ten-Tails. But even then Madara claims that he has everything under control when all that he does this is waiting until the Alliance will do everything for him.
* SmugSuper: Despite losing his eyes after coming back to life surrounded by enemies, he casually states that he's going after the tailed beasts and seems unconcerned about any of the Kage level fighters around him.
* SoreLoser: A big part of the series is due to Madara not being able to cope with Hashirama beating him in everything.
* TheStoic: His expression next to never changes, and he rarely says much more than "meh" in response to the brutalities occurring at his hands.
* StoryBreakerPower: To make a very very long story very very short, he has basically every power that Sasuke, Pain and Hashirama ever had, all turned UpToEleven. By his own admission, [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow Kishimoto]] has no idea how to beat Madara at this point.
** According to [[AwesomeByAnalysis Shikaku, he's immune to everything except physical attacks.]] And as he went toe to toe with Eight Gates Gai and survived Gai's ultimately ultimate super final attack (albeit heavily injured), he's clearly not too worried about physical attacks either.
* StrongAndSkilled:Has great natural talent and the skill to use them efficiently. He has the Sharingan to copy almost any technique flawlessly and the Rinnegan, which allows the user to master all five Elements as well as any technique within a very short time. He also has massive chakra reserves to fuel his techniques, so much so that he is called the "Tailless Tailed Beast".
* StunnedSilence: When Hashirama finally arrives on the battlefield, Madara greets him like they're about to have another epic duel. Hashirama tells him they'll fight later, stopping the Juubi comes first. Madara spends a moment standing there with his GameFace sort of frozen there.
* SunkCostFallacy: This played a big part of his argument against the cease-fire, in that it would render the sacrifices of countless Uchiha - including his own brother - moot.
* SuperMode: He absorbed Hashirama's natural energy to activate Sage Mode.
* SuperpowerLottery:
** The Rinnegan, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sharingan, Wood release, unlimited chakra and an immortal body that regenerates to be precise. Even his regular fire techniques put most kekkei genkais to shame.
** He loses his immortality when he's revived, and by extension the unlimited chakra, but gains the ability to heal near instantaneously like Tsunade, can absorb chakra to replenish his levels, and can now use SAGE MODE. Besides that last bit, really, what's changed?
* SuperSenses: He's considered one of the best sensor-type ninja.
* TheSvengali: Taught Obito everything he knew and named him as his successor, but [[spoiler:as it turns out, he was the one to arrange the events of Rin's death, in order to twist Obito into the hateful man Madara needed.]]
* TalksLikeASimile: Madara constantly makes dance references, even more so in the ''Storm'' games. With Neil Kaplan behind him as the voice, this is more badass than it sounds.
-->"Let's have another dance, shall we?"
-->"I'd like to try some more jutsu, but you look too tired to tango, Ōnoki."
-->"Seems you have a few dance moves left."
-->"How could you have danced this long?"
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Madara and Obito may need each other, but that does not mean they like it. Madara thinks that Obito is being too impatient with the Moon-Eye Plan and wants to wipe out the Shinobi Alliance first to make sure they are not a bother. Obito thinks Madara is too immature to wield such power and this is just an excuse for him to test out the Juubi's powers like a child with a new toy. There's also the matter of Madara needing Obito to sacrifice himself to use Rinne Tensei in order for him to fully revive and become the Juubi's jinchuuriki, which Obito isn't exactly thrilled about.
* ThanatosGambit: He attempted to pull one off. He left Tobi in charge of carrying out his plans and intended for Nagato to revive him later. This didn't go as planned due to Nagato making a HeelFaceTurn and sacrificing his life to revive the villagers he killed and Tobi who going to become the jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails himself and never had any intention of reviving him. Nonetheless, he gets revived as a zombie later on by Kabuto and subsequently hijacks the jutsu so he can't be controlled.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Even after Izuna's death, Madara was willing to cooperate with Hashirama to form the Hidden Leaf Village, to the point where Hashirama wanted to make him Hokage. Tobirama, however, stated that the Hokage should be decided by popular vote, and that Madara's candidacy would never be supported, seeing as how everyone saw Hashirama as the leader. Madara, who was overhearing this, came to the conclusion that there could never be true peace between the Senju and Uchiha, and it all went downhill from there...
* ThereAreNoCoincidences:
** [[spoiler:Madara points out that the circumstances revolving around Rin's death happened just a ''bit'' too perfectly to turn Obito to darkness, and reveals that he set the entire thing up.]]
** [[spoiler: Madara’s resurrection in the Fourth Shinobi World War was also a case of this. Obito never intended to resurrect him as he aimed to take control of the Moon’s Eye Plan. He would have succeeded if not for Kabuto resurrecting Madara with the Edo Tensei. It’s ultimately revealed that Black Zetsu was the one who led Kabuto to the location of Madara’s corpse as part of his plan to bring back Kaguya Ootsutsuki.]]
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Attempted this with the Fourth Battalion. See ColonyDrop.
* ThirdEye: After regaining [[spoiler: both of his Rinnegan and becoming the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki, he gains the Rinne Sharingan, resembling that of Kaguya, by getting close to the moon.]]
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:He falls under this after gets stabbed in the back by Black Zetsu. He only has a few moments to react, but those moments are devoted to screaming about how this can't happen to him.]]
** [[spoiler:It expanded in anime where before to become the host for Kaguya he mentally asked Hashirama where he could make a mistake as he just could not believe what this was happening to him.]]
* TrashTalk: Can pretty much always be found belittling his current opponents or pretty much whoever is nearby.
** His topic of choice when he was first revived during the war is how inferior he feels the current Kages are to him and the 1st Hokage.
** In a flashback he was shown do this to even the Nine Tails, telling him (more or less) that he's stupid and needs the Uchiha Clan to give him purpose.
* TragicVillain: While it isn't an excuse for his actions, Madara is no doubt the product of a ''lifetime'' filled with tragedy. By the age of ten, he had already lost ''four brothers'', resulting in his desperate dream for peace, which he shared with his best friend, Hashirama. However, he cherished last remaining brother, Izuna, more than anything, enough that he willingly turned his back on his friend and his dream, and continued the Uchiha-Senju feud to new heights. The casualties of this continued feud resulted in the death the brother he sought to protect. Then, after finally giving in and joining Hashirama in building Konoha, he was denied the post of the First Hokage and learned the truth about the Uchiha-Senju feud from the tablet in the Naka Shrine, which finally drove him over the deep end and into the Madara we all know and hate. [[spoiler:The fact that he was a pawn used to revive his distant ancestor is just icing on the cake]].
* TheUndead: After being brought back by Kabuto's [[PeoplePuppets Edo Tensei]] jutsu.
* UndyingLoyalty: Deconstructed. He was fanatical loyal to the Uchihas, to the point of stealing/asking for his brothers' eyes so he could face Hashirama in their War. This extended to also fanatically fighting for the Uchiha dignity to the point of being banished from his Clan and the Village that he helped create. Needless to say, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he didn't take the news well]].
** Should be noted that most of this comes from a proven UnreliableExpositor, so it could all be bunk.
* {{Understatement}}: Only Madara can under-sell pretty much massacring the five Kage in that cool and bored demeanor of stating things:
--> '''Naruto''': What happened to all the others!?!
--> '''Madara''': Who knows. They're probably... not okay. *cut to shot of the Kage all lying in pools of their own blood*
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Every time Madara defeats someone, he spends his time throwing this in the face of his opponent to show them how superior he is to them. [[LaserGuidedKarma And this ultimately leads to his fall.]]
* UnwittingPawn: Madara himself [[spoiler:turns out to be one to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Judging from the flashback, he seemed to be a bit of a loner, but undeniably adorable and you wouldn't know this man would be one of the {{Big Bad|Duumvirate}}s just by looking at him.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Zig-Zagging trope. He really want to bring peace to the world and thinks that his plan is the only way it can happen. But at the same time as he want bring peace he also more concerned to implement the plan independently since thinks that only '''he''' is worthy to lead all in the infinite illusion.
* VillainBall: He catches him when trying to get his second eye back. In the moment when Madara wants to return his Rinnegan from Black Zetsu, Obito does not allow to do so. Instead of, well you know, try to take his eye immediately because any man at a time could to understand that Obito ''not'' his friend, since Obito '''himself''' had said him that he had never considered his as ally and also betrayed him when become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. Also Madara has forced Obito to resurrect him through jutsu which kills the user at using and any sensible person was understandable that Obito will be displeased this. Madara is not one of these people. [[WhatAnIdiot He trying to convince him to give Rinnegan voluntarily and then he surprised that Obito went against him]]. And later when Obito and Naruto teleported in other dimension, he [[BloodKnight spent all his time fighting with Guy]] rather than trying to retrieve his eye and prevent Obito from resurrecting Naruto.
* VillainousBreakdown: He takes it pretty badly when [[spoiler:Black Zetsu betrays him and reveals he contains ''Kaguya's'' will instead of his own.]] He only gets a few seconds to express it, but given his usual unflappable behavior, it's pretty notable.
* VillainOverride:
** A key part of his [[XanatosSpeedChess new]] plan involves Obito sacrificing his life to use [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Rinne Tensei]] to revive him completely. Obito is understandably hesitant about this. His solution is to force Obito's body to perform the jutsu by taking control of the latter's Zetsu cells. Of course Obito did not take this lying down and overrode his override. But later he succeeded in accomplishing his revival by using Obito after the latter was defeated and stripped of the tailed beasts powering him.
** [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma Madara himself ends overriden]] [[DragonWithAnAgenda by Black Zetsu]] under [[GreaterScopeVillain Kaguya's]] will [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi]].]]
* VillainRespect: To his friend and rival, Hashirama, and later on, to Might Guy, whom he calls the finest Taijutsu expert he's ever seen. He's even impressed that Guy came close to killing him.
* VisionaryVillain: He have clear goal and plan to achieve the utopia which he envision.
* WalkingSpoiler: He is critical to several major plot twists that come after more than 550 chapters of the manga, making it almost impossible for him not to be this.
* WasItReallyWorthIt: He admits [[spoiler:to Hashirama that he might have been wrong in his approach as he lies dying after being regurgitated by the Ten Tails]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Whilst Madara ready to go to the many terrible actions to achieve his goals, he actually believes that he the saviour of humanity and that he will create peace and happiness for everyone immersing their in eternal illusion.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Made the offer to Obito Uchiha, training him as his successor. Following his complete resurrection he makes the offer to Sasuke Uchiha, but is turned down (probably didn't help that he had considered out loud taking Sasuke's EMS until he could get his Rinnegan back before the offer).
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Along with everything else, one ''more'' reason to hate this guy is his attitude towards the Tailed Beasts - he doesn't care about (or otherwise completely ignores) the fact that they have minds and souls of their own, treating them like nothing but weapons for humankind (especially himself) to use as they will. This starkly contrasts Naruto, who is the first human since the Sage of the Six Paths to show the Tailed Beasts care and compassion - to the point that they've practically sworn loyalty to him.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the anime his hair turns white when he becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchuuriki.
* TheWorfEffect:
** Every single strong character who's faced Madara to date has been subject to this. Madara himself suffers from it when Guy's Night Moth shatters ''at least'' his ribcage and right arm and leaves a hole in his side, and he happily admits that without the regenerative abilities of being the Juubi Jinchuuriki he would have been killed by it.
** [[spoiler: Is further subjected to this when Naruto and Sasuke, each carrying half the power from the original Sage of the Six Path, drive him into a corner where he is forced to absorb the trunk of the Shinju and get his other Rinnegan back to keep up with them.]]
*** [[spoiler: His ultimate defeat tantamounts to getting unceremoniously stabbed in the back by Black Zetsu and used as a vessel to revive Kaguya Ootsutsuki who is many times stronger than him.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: Considered this during his era alongside Hashirama, though since his resurrection, he has integrated his DNA into his body, making him the one of the most powerful shinobi to walk the earth. To the point that he needs the Five Kages to face him at all. Even then, they weren't enough when he starts to get a ''little'' serious.
** Let's face it -- not even Nagato or Tobi could possibly hope to [[spoiler:trounce the Five Kages]] with such ease. The man is pretty much the third strongest shinobi of all time, right after the Sage of the Six Paths (who was a PhysicalGod) and Hashirama Senju. Only Naruto in his tailed beast mode has actually forced him into fighting seriously.
** Naruto was able to match him while he was an Edo Tensei, going blow for blow with him and Madara even regarded him as a serious threat. However, when he is fully resurrected, Madara takes on Naruto and Killer Bee in their tailed beast modes backed by Gaara and all other tailed beast together before swiftly defeating them with a LivingShadow cast after regaining just his left Rinnegan. [[FromBadToWorse He then revives the Ten-Tails and becomes it's third and far more complete Jinchuuriki.]]
** [[spoiler: He is then matched by Guy using his Eight Gate backed up by Minato, Kakashi and Gaara. Then he is trounced by Naruto and Sasuke each wielding half of the Sage of the Six Paths's power. When he more or less matches them by absorbing the Shinju and recovering his left Rinnegan, he gets undone by Zetsu to revive the much more powerful Kaguya Ootsutsuki.]]
* WorthyOpponent:
** Considered Hashirama as one to the point where you can consider it FoeYay, considering how much he drones on and on about how everyone except him and Hashirama (and maybe Naruto) sucks.
-->'''Madara''': Hashirama "Wood Style" Senju... the future First Hokage, the man who stood at the top of the ninja world and the person that I respected most.
** Also considers Might Guy one; even after becoming the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, he's impressed that Might Guy gave him a close fight that even ''he'' wasn't sure he could win. He straight up admits that Guy is the greatest taijutsu master alive and one of the worthiest opponents he had ever faced, which is why he planned to land a finishing blow rather than just let Guy die from the effects of the Eight Gates — he considered such a gesture the greatest honor he could give.
** [[spoiler: After Naruto and Sasuke receive their powers as the children of the Sage of Six Paths, he knows fighting them without his other Rinnegan would be a bad idea.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: In fact, he'd bisect one with a giant blunt object just out of spite for her grandfather.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He orchestrated Rin's death and Obito's FaceHeelTurn.]]
* WouldntHurtAChild: Played with. Onoki asks him why didn't he display this much power when he last fought him; he replies with "Which adult would go serious on a child?" though this seems to be more Madara being condescending than serious.
* XanatosSpeedChess: From the moment of his resurrection Madara has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. To him from becoming the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki and completing the Moon Eye Plan Madara must be alive and not an immortal zombie. His solution is to force Obito sacrifice his life to revive him completely by taking control Zetsu cells of the latter's. This does not work and has backfires when Obito becomes the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki. But later Madara successfully forces him to revive himself with the aid of Black Zetsu.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** Does this to Obito. Upon finding out that Obito is fatally injured, Madara takes over Obito's Zetsu parts in order to [[KickTheDog force him to use Rinne Tensei]] (which kills the user if they don't have enough chakra) on him so that he will be truly restored to life, allowing him to become the Ten-Tails' jinchuuriki. This backfires when Obito overrides his will and becomes the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki himself.
** After Obito defeat at the hands of the entire alliance, Madara simply pulls this on him again by having Black Zetsu ambush him and take control of his weakened body.
** [[spoiler:Madara himself ends up becoming victim to this when Black Zetsu literally backstabs him and reveals that he's actually working for Kaguya Otsutuski.]]
