Somethings wrong w me why am I so upset still. I think it's just like. The thing that is upsetting about Hashimada is the percieved closeness of it all. Madara thought Hashirama saw him as meaning as much as his own blood, him forcing Hashirama to choose between killing himself or his brother to prove his loyalty, and Hashirama choosing himself. Madara sees this and thinks Hashirama is willing to give it all up for him, but Hashirama choosing to spare his brother is what Madara misses. And he lives for years believing Hashirama sees him as family, and probably sees Hashirama as family as well. Which makes their inevitable fight so much more devastating. Bc yeah, Madara is killed by the one person he CHOSE to trust rather than being born with a familial bond. But in that moment he realizes that, like himself, Hashirama values his siblings over his own life, and bc of his choosing to sacrifice only himself and not his brother, didn't see Madara on the same level as his family. and at the same time, Madara is killed by the only family that he thought he had left, after fighting tooth and nail as he watched the rest of his family die one by one in war. Like.. It's the misconception that trust and unconditional love exists between them which is then shattered. Madara even brought Hashirama down to the Uchiha stone tablet and everything. He was his blood to him and aside from his clan, all Madara had left. And in the end Madara died fighting what he lived to protect
