so, you were a fan of a girl pining to get in a guy's pants?
Sadly yes I was. I always hoped Hinata would become more than that. I always saw her relationship with her team and Neji as well as her clan as being her ultimate source of growth. All she's done is chase Naruto and as a result, she's become a poor excuse for a character and a horrible example for girls looking up to her. She's pathetic. There's no excuse for her behavior.
To be honest, I wonder if Kishi has been making Hinata unlikable on purpose. Thinking about how she's been this entire war arc and other Naruto media, this seems to be the case.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Kishi quoted saying "That he didn't give a single hoot about her."
I also wonder if he regrets creating her in the first place...
Sometimes I think so. I think he's purposely setting her up for a troll - good thing I'm no longer interested in her to even care.
Not sure, that'd be great if he did.
I always absolutely love your posts, Jade~Rabbit. And agreed. Neji's death was very sloppy. Admittingly, I didn't realize how badly it was until 615. I have always preferred Neji over Hinata. In fact, I never really cared for her to begin with. Honestly, if Kishimoto had to kill a Hyuuga, I would have preferred Hinata to die instead. Why? Because Neji is an underdog. Not powers-wise of course but he was still part of the side branch. A lower rank than the main branch. That's why I would much like to see Neji lead the Clan. Not only would be be a much better leader than Hinata ever could be, it breaks the Hyuuga tradition. Plus, honestly, I feel like Neji really showed how much he deserved that. And the most annoying thing? Kishimoto killed off Neji just so could Hinata could grow. One of my favorite characters was killed off for Hinata. That really upsets me.
Aww thanks.
Same here, I was halfway imagining that chapter 615 would have his teammates reactions to his death and maybe some words about him as man from someone - Hinata barely did this, imo. I wanted Neji to live and rule the clan along with Hinata - believe it or not, I wasn't always a NejiHina fan, I originally liked her with someone else but it wasn't until I saw how great she worked in a team with Neji and I started to look at their relationship as something that could strengthen her. They always seemed to correspond well. Neji was her saving grace in my eye. Relationship or not I wouldn't loved to see her get over herself, team up with Neji and rule to clan and also to start to see herself on the same level as others and not just chase Naruto.
I feel like Neji dying for Hinata was a waste. She's still immature and selfish. The only thing she cares about is Naruto and herself. It feels like she only spoke on Neji just to further her goal to hold Naruto's hand.
I'm sorry, just putting this out there, but sometimes I feel like Kishi did this just because he had something against NejiHina... not sure why. Maybe it's because of the holding hands over his dead body and him dying in the first place. It's a baseless thing to say I know but sometimes I wonder...

Also completely
hated the hand comment. I respected Hinata for the first time in my life since the Chunin Exams and she has to go and disappoint me by reverting to fangirl mode. I lost my respect for her. I don't hate her but Hinata has once again proven why I shouldn't like her. I no longer have faith that she will be anything but a fangirl. Fangirl-Hinata her whole life.

I don't hate her either, but I just don't like her character anymore. I can't even be happy that she's spoken up for once because it just seems like it was done in her desperate need to get Naruto to look at her.
