So about fans growing numbers, what do you think the reason for it?

If I had to guess I'd say the growing numbers in NaruSaku and the dwindling numbers in SasuSaku are connected. Maybe a lot of the NaruSaku votes are made up of ex-SasuSaku fans. I don't think everyone has kept an eye on the Road to Ninja reports and spoilers so I don't think that's the only reinforcement but probably that and a lot of the extra merchandise like the 2011 OVA and the videogames etc have created a few new fans.

Ok, we are all friends now. All of us, now moving on.

So about fans growing numbers, what do you think the reason for it?

The reasons many people don't like NS is countered and proven wrong through this movie. They also have no problem being intimate with eachother, they look very comfortable and relaxed. Like they're acting by heart, and natural instinct.

On DA I saw a lot more NS and NH fans maybe 4 times or more the amount of what we got so far from FB.

There is a lot of NS fan and the ship they pairings for years, the problem is that many of them are currently not happy with the direction of the Manga so they choose to keep NS with them and not on Forums.

I think the growing numbers for NS is because people started to realize that this pairing has at least a great potential, or they were neutral or support other pairing, and then switched to NS.

I think we will only know how the state of NS is when Jump do another pairing voting.
The problem is that the next one if it happens will include U.S so i think NH will have a major bump.
The problem with NS is that many people who ships it has yaoi pairings at the 1st place so, i do not expect a huge bump for NS if it happens.

@narusaku4ver

You need to stop harassing Slextrem about the VA rumor. We don't tolerate bashing or harassing members here, so cut it out.

Well about the page, it's not the road to ninja official and there's only 856 voters against 866...
Those votes just show to me that a few people really care about a pairing which i call hardcore shippers.

Well, I wasn't only talking about the Facebook poll, just in general. Lately, I have noticed that there are more people of NS but maybe because they're finally coming out of box. I don't know, give or take.

Ugh, USA...Yeah, I llive there but sheesh. Funny how someone mentioned about ova 2011. I actually got it by purchasing a shirt from uniqlo. I have two because I bought more later. I wonder if anyone else got to see it and see what's up with the manga.

You were basically bashing a member about her views/opinions/facts on a rumor, which many members here had discussed about, finished and moved on., Yet you continued on, and attacking her for a topic that she and the rest doesn't need more discussion . She told you to stop but you kept on adding more fuel to the fire.

So, here's something from me: STOP it! We don't need any more drama as it is, especially on this thread. No further comments about this issue, continue on.

I stopped and she continued pushing of the discussion and i went along, we both are guilty there's no victim here, which is why both of us have to be punished hence why is not going to happen because the fact i posted previously.

Let's just move on. Forget who's right or wrong. It's only a forum discussion. It's not a court where it matters a lot. This one has no rewards. So please, let's just move on. Ok?

Anyway, NS has been getiting an increasing numbers of members. I just wonder how many in USA today. Then again, there's too many immature guys that just bash for the heck of it. It's opinions yes, but at least respect others.

I think one of the main reasons is the RtN movie. The fans knew it's pure NS, well, there's MK but from the big three shipping I mean XD. So, they just saw that Kishi is going with it and then readers decided to ship it. Or, maybe, they just saw the time to show their support for their pairing.

That does seem like a reason or at least one of them. I guess it takes them to show who is getting the most love in a movie, especially from the man himself. Also, let's not forget that there were audience from other countries going to Japan to see the movie, so that's more chances of new fans.

Increasing? Well, if you say so ^^; If anything it's more like growing slowly. A big reason for that is because of neutral parties getting fed up with NaruHina fans pushing everything that comes from the manga. And likely some people who were unsure of fully showing support because of being out numbered (I personally love those odds though )

Well, I always saw that Japan encourages people to become NS shippers. I guess going to the country where manga and anime is an important art, make some fans understand more Naruto XD

But it's not like a large mass of American fans traveled to Japan ;P We're still out numbered in the long run, unless there's a crazy ton of closet fans out there XD
Besides, unless they were never big on the pairing, it's hard to convert any NaruHina fan to a NaruSaku fan, they just don't wanna hear what we have to say or see what we're looking at

Of course not . But, I meant people who go to Japan, well, which are few, to go watch the RtN movie. Take what we can get XD

I don't know where that increasing is coming from either, in the past one year or so I doubt the fan club have gotten 50 new member, is more like member from another forum posting here on in NF.

The volume of NS shipper on forums in 2009, 2010, beginning of 2011 were a lot more active than these days by a very large margin.

Back when I joined in 2010, it did feel a bit more active since I didn't see the same people in threads all the time, but oh well. We may have gotten 50, but most of them never return

[Slextrem]

I know this has now become a touchy subject, but I have the screenshot. Do you guys want it posted here or should I send it via PM to those that want to see it?

EDIT: Since no one has said anything, I'll go ahead and post them here:
