NaruSaku is popular in japan becuse its obvious
in America NaruSaku is the most hated couple
becuse everybody hates Sakura , NH fans and SS are mostly popular in America
This is generally true, but I don't see why it matters. NS being canon is only made that much better knowing that those who do nothing but hate are going to be proven wrong and end up looking stupid.
There's a reason why everyone hates Sakura. She was specifically made to be an unlikable character in part 1. People already hated her because Kishi made her that way. Skip over to part 2 and while she is changing, people still hopped on the bandwagon of hate since Sakura still wasn't perfect. If the general people believe something, it's hard to shake that belief, even if it's unjustified.
As for NH and SS, a lot of them are fans of both pairings because they simple do not like the rivaling pairing which is NS. NH having hated Sakura for so long would prefer their favorite character, being the main character, to be with somebody they consider to be better than Sakura, which in this case is Hinata. I honestly don't think that Hinata is a very good character, but it has nothing to do with her being a good character. All that matters is that Hinata is compared to Sakura, whom they can easily hate. Sakura and Hinata are very contrasting characters, that is why it's hard to like both of them and easy to compare them.
As for my own personal opinion, I honestly can't say I like either Sakura or Hinata, but, I will say that it is clear to me that NS is the end pairing. NS is often selfless, and they make each other happy. It's also clear that they are both attracted to each other. It doesn't matter if another fandom has a strong basis for their pairing, because none of them are as convincing as NS.
Anyone agree or disagree with this? I'm curious to know how other people interpret the rival fandoms.
