Even being bound by the will of the resurrector, Roshi preserved his legendary stubbornness, which Son Goku compared to the stubbornness of Onoki himself. In battle he acted mercilessly and aggressively, giving no respite to the opponent, although it was not his merit, but submission to Obito through chakra receivers. Meanwhile, inside his suppressed consciousness, a belated bitterness was growing: observing the fury and kindness of Naruto, he regrettably admitted that he had taken the wrong path. He remained a stern warrior unaccustomed to tenderness, but before the very end he found within himself the strength to turn to Son Goku by name and ask the beast for forgiveness. In his final thoughts there was neither fear nor malice — only quiet reconciliation and a bright smile of the old man who finally called his friend by name.
