The dialog here is "What I need to protect... I finally realized what it is."  Interpret that however you like.

 

Well in trailers voice-overs are traditionally paired in a scene where they're not used so this doesn't surprise me. i'm not gonna be deceived by the oldest editing trick in the book.

I'm not sure  

 

For Naruto :

" Hero of the village and his dream to be Hokage " something like that

 

For Sakura :

 "she is best medical ninja in village" something like that 

 

For Hinata:

" she has feelings to Naruto " something like that 

 

 

 

wait for freaking out mode 

 

Love the descriptions, Hinata's is a joke. LOL wow she has feelings for Naruto, my mind is blown...seriously.

How can a naruhina be more sane than 90% of the NS fandom is beyond the impossible but here it goes:

Sigh, I am ready for this movie to be nothing more than a huge cash-in without any important canon development.

The popularity polls never make any kittening sense whatsoever so I wouldn't get too hung up on them.

Here's another observation. If what Naruto has to tell to Hinata is related to that retconned memory, then surely it is not him reciprocating her feelings. If it were that, then why not have him refer to the actual confession. Sure he'd look like a kitten for waiting 3 years, but it would be much more believable than have his "romantic epiphany" tied to a retconned memory of when they were kids. That would be unbelievably contrived.

I hope none of you have forgotten that the narrator of the trailers at the very least hinted continued physical attraction from Naruto towards Sakura, and given how oddly that was handled, I find that telling.

Speaking of Sakura, when she's comforting/encouraging Hinata, the latter is blushing but seemingly despondent at the same time. Why? That seems to me like a very odd reaction to have to being encouraged to pursue your love interest - assuming that's what it is given how she's blushing. Is Sakura even encouraging Hinata to pursue Naruto like that? It would be inconsistent with her behaviour in the actual manga, wherein she's clearly not happy with the idea. That's why I think she and Naruto might be together already.

There's no way the manga will gloss over NaruSaku if it's going to end conclusively. We literally had the POAL revived 5 chapters ago. If it's addressed and they decide to remain friends, then sure, I'll be disgusted and disappointed, but at least we'll get some closure out of it. I don't think Naruto will fail to win Sakura's heart though. I fully expect at retread of al the poignant NaruSaku moments and further exposition much like with Naruto and Sasuke. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if we learn Sakura held back on her affections because of guilt or whatever.

Another observation. I think it's very obvious Kishimoto cares quite a lot about Minato and Kushina since they resemble himself and his wife and he wanted to include them more after he became a parent himself. I question why Kishimoto would have Minato note Sakura's resemblance to his wife in 631 - 127 chapters after Kushina was revealed to tell Naruto to find someone like her - if he was going to write NaruHina? The movie had to have long since been in production so why would he have done that in the manga? Why not Hinata? We actually got a reaction panel of her when Minato made the comparison, so why not her? Hell, why do it at all? Minato could have just thanked Sakura without inferring her relationship with his son or thinking she reminded him of his wife.

The more I think about where the actual manga is headed, the less and less sense it makes for NaruHina to be made canon in the, be it in the manga or a movie. I suppose that's why I don't feel the trailers and official information releases are so damning or cause for panic. The fact everything that is remotely NaruHina is still one sided and the fact we see so little of the Sakura plus the events and developments in the actual manga make me believe there is nothing to be worried about. I can't see this movie as anything other than a means of closure for NaruHina.

I never really understood what is taboo about the money, it's an industry that makes products.  People seem to have a romanticized view of "art" being above that, although people who are successful in it seem to be the ones who have a lot of important things they want to say.  Kishimoto does have a lot to say about getting along, family, fitting in...

 

Plus if people are claiming that it's been swayed by popularity, wouldn't those people just be admitting that they're not in the majority?  I don't think popularity has that much influence, it seems too close for it to matter anyway, it would have to have been a HUGE difference to make them stop what they were originally doing.

It's a good post...

I wish everyone could be like that.

And he also believes Hinata may die.

If it was about popularity, Kishi would have made his manga shifted a little bit in favour of NH but it never happened, not even in the most recent chapters that were written when the movie was already in production.

lol Sakura, Hinata and Gaara all shout Naruto's name in the trailer but its seems only Hinata's was put in the teaser. There you go Sp is just marketing Hinata.

How does Gaara call Naruto ?

Does he use a suffix ?

Wow, it's nice to see the trailer from a different shipper views

No but you can clearly just hear Gaara's voice. 

[Canadian_DJ]

You know it's getting really difficult to find information about the movie when there's like 30 new pages of posts every day.
 
Is there anywhere that has a thread ONLY containing new stuff and not discussion?

This.

[Kster95]

I am still scared that Hinata is going to have a bigger role than Sakura. But I am just going to wait and see. 

[Canadian_DJ]

Hey people, this is the new popularity ranking?

To be honest I see some possibilities that Sakura might actually have an even bigger role... but I will keep my mouth shut for the moment.

That's the only thing to be concerned than anything, honestly.

Says who?

[Kster95]

Says who?

 

Just the plot revolving around her capture but instead Hanabi was. Just seems like she is going to be the most important female of the movie.

Meanwhile I'm scared of Ssasuke chan not getting significant screentime.

 

And no taka.

Though at least it means they aren't living a pityful hobo life.

Well you need to push the other main character and heroine out of the way to make rooom for Hinata of course. 

[applesauceful]

Does anyone know who Sasuke is talking about in the trailer when he says: "If he’s not here, then there’s obviously no choice but for me to protect you." You don't think he's talking to Sakura about Naruto, do you?
