Hinata only appeared in 15/20 chapters at best, how could she be one of the strongest bonds?
so then tell me
how the kitten is she one of his most important bonds IN THE MANGA?
She isn't. NEVER FORGET that fact I am about to tell you. She is "loved" by the beta males, because she is submissive, lives only for the main character (who they pretend to be), and has big kittens. Those are the reasons she is loved.
Never forget that if she was flat chested with a humpback, facial hair, and warts, that she wouldn't be beloved. Even if she had the exact same story that's presented in the manga. Everything that' loved about her is because of her character design. Nothing else matters. If she was just an overtly ugly woman with a bad body people wouldn't be cheering for her. It's why many fan stories concentrate on nothing but her supposed sex appeal.
Sasuke is the same damn way. The whole "we must get Sasuke back" bs wouldn't have happened if he looked like Quasimodo. Instead he would be shown as what he was a villain who has a tragic back story. But because he was/is "hot" he get's special treatment. He would have been put down like the rabid dog he is, and besides some general "Alas Poor Yorick" line.
Neither Hinata or Sasuke are about character. They are nothing more then cheesecake and beefcake. That is their only strength in this story.
The number of problems with this story somehow just keeps growing.
