So it is as we translated it as. She still cares about him, but not romantically anymore.
Why are we putting so much weight in an interview? Why would Kishimoto just reveal Sakura loving Naruto instead of keeping up the ambiguity? My issue isn't denying the writer's words. I just feel uncomfortable saying he really said that when interviews aren't always reliable sources. It could've been corrupted by bias translators. I would accept Kishi's words if they're real, but I find it just really bizarre of him. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this.
I don't know, Romance Girl, why are people putting so much weight on 540? Why do people put A LOT of weight on all SS and NH scenes, but take NS scenes so lightly as though handling it with kid gloves? Cause they want to play safe? Playing safe has become ridiculous now to the point that apparently there is no such thing as Anti-SS or Anti-NH scenes even though this chapter basically is one, but every scene is Anti-NS.
I am so sick of people saying "You shouldn't take it this way," but then they themselves are taking everything the wrong way too. They want to continue to say that every NS is full of ambiguity and nothing is Pro-NS and yet every SS and NH scene is straight up and absolutely must be taken with the maximum seriousness. I am tired of it myself
People are using every excuse not to accept things the way they are and now even half the memebers of this forum are doing it.
They want to deny what Kakashi says in this chapter, but accept that Naruto called Sakura a liar as the truth. Also, they accept that, but they refuse to accept that Naruto told Sai that he confirms his feelings for Sakura.
They want to deny that Sasuke has never felt for Sakura ay all during this whole manga and showed it more to Karin, but think that just because Sasuke "saved her" automatically means he is in love with her.
They want to deny that every chapter, every development, every moment that has ever happened in favor of NS for a crappy 540 chapter that their logic of makes no sense what so ever and yet criticize every other chapter as ambiguous even though the same could be said for 540.
This whole "playing it safe" is not playing it safe anymore. It is not what they think it means and instead has turned people both paranoid and cynical. Not only that, but the same people become smug and put other people down like all of a sudden they know everything and everyone else is just stupid. Yeah, people who are optimistic in this forum is apparently stupid and doesn't know how to read this manga right, but to them reading this manga with huge paranoia and being cynical is the ONLY true way to read this manga.
I thought "playing it safe" means taking everything with a grain of salt until something happens directly, but I guess I was wrong because apparently "playing it safe" means be super pessimistic and believe the worst out of everything because nothing lives up to my expectations.
I didn't know this was an Anti-NS site otherwise I would not have signed up for it. If I want some of these kind of comments, I'll go to other Naruto forums.
You know, I rather be overly optimistic and at least be happy with my stay here then continue with this crap people do. So every time someone brings up 540, I am bringing up the interview and I will post it every time. Whether you agree with it or not.
I want to share something with you guys. A piece of advice for anyone who does this: If you are so afraid of disappointment with this manga that you have to "play it safe", then all you are doing is living in fear of it. The NH and SS fans have no fear whatsoever. Sure, they may be delusional from time to time, but at least they are not cowards like some of you are and are not afraid to wield their pairing pride. I am not afraid to be proud of my pairing choice and I will continue to wave my banner regardless if NS becomes canon or not.
Now before I get any sort of comment like "Well, that's not what we are doing...or saying...or being..." Yeah, it is exactly like that.
I had NO expectations of Sakura in this war ever since the encounter with Sasuke. I had none. I didn't expect her to fight, gain power-ups, nothing. I thought her entire existence was done until at least the Naruto vs Sasuke fight where things would weigh the greatest. Because I had no expectations, I got excited whenever Sakura did anything and it made me happy. I got excited when all those NS intereactions happened and yet I consider them all NS scenes. I was happy when all the SS theories were just proven so wrong on so many levels and was jumping for joy that my favorite girl, Sakura, isn't what these people claim her to be.
I rather be delusional and be happy, then be cynical, miserable, and continue to hate this manga with every page turn. If you are disappointed with this manga because it didn't live up to your expectations, then you did it to yourself and you only have yourself to blame. Constructive Criticism is one thing, but criticism because you wanted something different is another.
I so sick of so many people trying to put me down because they want to be cynical about everything even though they are proven wrong time and time again.
