And that's exactly what Pierot will do but not in a good way, they might end up making Naruto remember Hinata's confession and telling Sakura the he loves her.
Oh come on, I know that these fillers are horrible (I didn't see the episode but I don't intend to) but I HIGHLY doubt that Pierot will stoop that low for pairing preferences and to assume that they would unconditionally do so without any thought or justification is complete and utter paranoia. They kept Sakura's hug scene perfectly intact and true to the manga, didn't they? Though to be fair, I can see why some people would think that based on how much filler was added to over-glorify Hinata's confession to the point we're it makes Sakura hugging Naruto look less spectacular and insignificant by comparison (not that I thought the hug was bad or anything). It may seem that people might subconsciously feel at the very deep back of their heads that it seems unfair to make Hinata's confession more incredible animation and drama wise then Sakura hugging Naruto thus making that narusaku moment seem so small compared to Hinata's confession. Not to mention that the filler that was added to please the naruhina fan-base and the fact that Pierot might have spent there entire animation budget on that sole moment where Hinata confesses her love to Naruto in movie quality animation that the rest of the animation in the Invasion of Pain Arc was either on average level or utter crap. Keep in mind that I don't think that Hinata is better than Sakura (otherwise I wouldn't even be here
), I'm just stating what I believe is going on in our heads about this subject and the psychological effects along with it (I'm no psychology expert or mental therapist, hell I'm still in high-school
) based on the thoughts and feelings I had and contemplated, studied and thought about on.
I highly doubt that they will completely butcher Sakura's confession for the sake of pairing preferences. It's just to popular in Japan for the anime to divert itself from the path of the manga and besides, naruhina isn't really that popular there as it is in the west. Does anyone obviously think that the animation staff would be stupid enough to risk completely changing the story-line of a popular series just so they can appease their personal pairing preferences? I haven't seen anything of that sort happening to Bleach, One Piece, or Dragon Ball so I doubt Naruto would be any different.
With all due respect, don't you guys think your overreacting just a little bit?
My advice would be to stay calm and not worry to much about the future.
