Honestly that's like, the reason it IS so good.
Orochimaru, for all his genuine literal actual monster ****ery... did more willingly to put forward his own redemption than Sasuke did. And has done less harm to everyone involved than Sasuke since that time period.
Orochimaru being the best dad of the Seinin Trio is ****ing disturbing and it's why Mitzuki is my favorite next only to Sarada, who gets my favorite for being surprisingly well adjusted for an Uchiha in her situation.
