I'm not denying the fact that Kishi used this moment to show that Naruto's feelings hasn't changed. In fact, it lead to Sakura || Kushina parallel, which also reinforces NS. I'm just saying that he wasn't joking, that's all.. he seemed pretty serious to me. This scene was very important after all.
Well i'm not sure that it didn't lead to anything it did lead to Minato his father confirming that his son find someone like his mother and give them his blessing or whatever you want to call that haha :) i would say this scene was a follow up of that one .
That was the consequence of Sakura's tsundere behavior on which even joking or being serious would happen the same thing, i'm talking about the consequence of Naruto's quote on being serious, why hasnt Sakura talked with Naruto or Naruto explained what he said instead of an next panel about them talking about something else and ignored that he just called her his gf.
Yes it was, but there's no relevance on Naruto being serious or not, it wont change the consequences of what happened on that scene.
The reaosn why i cant take Naruto's quote serious is that there's nothing that suggests that his mindset about Sakura has changed, even later with him claiming she was his gf he got jealous about Sakura talking with Sasuke on 633, so what's up with Naruto?
It's a paradox that i'm unable to understand, i prefer to take it as a joke on which doesnt change the outcome of the scene and neither his feelings than to deal with this paradox and the complexity of the situation on which in one hand Naruto believes Sakura loves Sasuke and on the other hand believes she's his girlfriend.
I'm really sad how so many people even some of the workers at viz cannot understand story elements, I mean again going back to the 469 and 615 events, people just assume too much that naruto somehow no longer loves sakura or that he suddenly loves hinata, even then that whole culture divide of preception, it's amazing how much people keep going on by this too much, if they assume by western ideals that 615 equals the end then they are in for a disappointment when more beyond from 631 was shown. I mean we all remember the meltdown of 631 and that for one proved that nh didn't win, that nh fans should beware and see how stuff like that came up because the story was still far from over.
The only thing i want to know from them is how Naruto joking on 631 disregard his feelings for Sakura?
When he did that on part 1 because he liked her, on every anime so far and manga that i've read it only happens when it's towards someome you like.
