I do think Kishimoto intended to glorify Sasuke's non-conformist individualism though -- even while reinforcing that love & interconnectedness are what make us truly strong.

I see it as Kishimoto saying "you can do your own thing, your own way, and still be amazing."

Sasuke is WAY more popular in Japan than in America, and I think his bravery in carving his own path is partly why.

To us, the notion of "REVOLUTION" isn't that shocking. Sasuke's journey is just another person making their way in the world. But I think the Japanese audience sees it differently.
