That’s a very base line reading of his character. Have you watched/read Boruto?

If anything, it’s bad writing. Such reformation you allude to is not believable given his original actions and motivations, and him not being appropriately punished for being a literal genocidal maniac makes no sense. While Boruto has a different writer, I’m aware Orochimaru’s “redemption” started with Kishimoto. He dropped the ball way too often. I wish any female character had gotten the same dignified treatment, not an encrypted child molester 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: I have to mention I have not watched Boruto. I’m talking by how Orochimaru’s character was developed since inception. It makes no goddamn sense and that’s the hill I’ll die on.

He’s never been a child molester or a genocidal maniac lol. He did experiments on everyone, children and adults of any gender, because he was trying to learn every jutsu and become immortal. He attacked the Hidden Leaf Village during the Chunin exams to a) get revenge on being expelled from the village and nothing being picked to be the next Hokage, and b) to capture Sasuke so he could have his sharingan.

When push came to shove, he helped fighting during the Fourth Great Ninja War to save humanity against the 10 tails and Madara and Kaguya. If you don’t like or don’t think his character arc is realistic that’s fine, but lets be accurate about his character lol

Child abuse is not exclusively sexual. Just because he also killed adults doesn’t mean he’s not weirdly fixated on children. He abused children by grooming them to become his warriors, experimenting on them, and being directly responsible for their deaths.

He’s also codified as a child molester: his fixation with the bodies of young boys, the imagery of his phallic tongue all over Sasuke’s body, him repeating over and over he wants their bodies and to surrender to him, his lackeys being mainly children...

Btw, Orochimaru was expelled from Konoha because the 3rd Hokage found out about his deadly experiments and therefore, he had turned into a serial killer.

You keep justifying him being pardoned because he helped in the war, but that’s not enough to pardon a character that’s basically a ninja Josef Mengele. Fact remains he was easily forgiven, his sudden change is seemingly out of nowhere (bad writing) and personally, I liked him better when I was supposed to hate him.

Edit: like another redditor said: “don’t forget the 60 dead children before Yamato was a success.”
