of course they're covering up because it's not just sakura that they're hiding, but also other characters too. sakura is listed as the second lead, yet look at how they're promoting hinata. it's way too obvious at this point.

Unless they're both supposed to realize their romantic arcs in parallel and they actually won't have anything to do with one another, beyond just being on the same team.   Great, now I'm depressed again. 

Was the marketing for RtN this bad, by any chance? I mean, I know how much it misled people, but how does it compare?

most likely fake if those same fans posting those spoilers got the backstory of kaguya and the hyuuga that messed up xD

 

EDIT: plus the fact that the early screening was supposed to be next week people have said, we wouldn't get legit spoilers that early when noone's seen the movie yet xD

That's just some marysue story written by an NH/SS supporter.

I hope so!

I am done! I could've went a little big more in-depth with the second half but I cannot take it anymore, I need rest haha. Plus it's nothing I haven't established already in the beginning.

 

Hope you guys enjoy.

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

OMG! Congrats on finishing it! I'm so excited to sink my teeth into this! Now, get some rest! <3

Please, tell me that the spoilers involving Karin's death are unconfirmed/possibly fake. This is all over my dash on Tumblr right now, and I'm not happy. 

Writing romance? I think he might have meant graphic stuff, like kissing, full blown love confessions  and whatnot... he didn't seem so embarrassed with that Tsunade x Dan forehead kiss, did he? Maybe this movie will have what he couldn't put in the manga - romance for everyone. Hopefully the love triangle will be resolved, cause it'd suck if it wasn't. That's something we had since day 1. 

 

Yeah, let's hope for the best Dx

Well, the confessions, themselves, don't seem to be much of a problem. We've seen several, as well as references to them. Hopefully, the love triangle will be resolved, whatever the outcome may be. Part of the pain from the last two chapters was that there weren't any definite answers. That was just one more thing that he had failed to answer/resolve. :\

Oh, God. I really hope so! It would kind of give me a more favorable view of the series again, even if I still have a lot of issues with a lot of stuff.  

Love triangle? Aahaha

 

Aww I really like this interview. He seems like he has a great sense of humor aha. How touching So 700 is probably a screenshot into the future and we'll see the growth of all the characters in part 3. Manga was supposed to end with Narusasu battle huh?  Hopefully this movie will serve as a way for Kishi to finally resolve the love triangle and deal with the cases of unrequited love in the series.  Nice! 

*sighs* He did say this was the only way for him, since he was too embarrassed to deal with it in writing, apparently. 

Let's just hope it's really not as disgraceful as it appears to be, and that everything really does work in our favor. :\

I am barely at completing the notes I left for adding from the first half... I didn't even get to the second one. Ooh, this is gonna be a looooooooooong night!

Hang in there! I know you can do it!  

But that's the thing, it's marketing. Like RTN in a way, but just more. Hinata and playboy Sasuke didn't play a role in RTN but they were hyped to the max. Now that Hinata actually has a role, they'll only hype her character up even more. I'd be more worried if we got Naruto ----> Hinata and actual Sakura/rookie scenes. Kishi's sketch of Hinata was released at the end, along with Hanabi, yet Sakura was released with Naruto's. Marketing is telling us one thing but Kishi and SP sketches is telling us something else. 

 

I hope this movie will be good for us and this series as a whole..  If it is, I'll have to go back in the 699/700 thread and delete what I said LOL

I know what you're trying to say, and it's definitely in the realm of possibility. I guess I just let myself get a little too worried with what seems to have been issued, you know? 

Oh, yeah, if things are different, I'm going to have to retract/modify quite a few things I've said on Tumblr, although I know that I'll still be rather critical of some things...

there's no specific pair that line is being directed at. i see no reason to worry about it. 

I'm not disagreeing with you on this, but given where things seem to be heading- And I know you're going to say it's all about marketing.- well, it doesn't look good. 

All the logic is on our side, but it's scary that it can be overturned this arbitrarily. 

Btw, does anyone know whether the following quote/tagline has been associated with the film?:

"The destiny that is about to unfold actually started when we first met."

Just curious.

Also, has any other news/promotional material come out of Japan today? Thanks! 

I am completing my theory slowly, step by step... man this is gonna take a while, but this night it's up!

Ah! Good luck! I cannot wait to read it!  

Has this all been verified? It might fit, but it still looks a little...fake. IDK. 

Hahaha love u too!

Btw I didn't receive any message?! Are you sure you sent it?

 

Sorry for not sharing anything more guys, but after this thread was passed as "true info" from a "trustworthy" source on Tumblr, I prefer to keep it up for me! That's why I come and always ask if there's something I should be looking over or I go OMG when something really great is observed by you guys but I don't say anything more.

 

Cuz there are some people outside there who will "sell" this as an actual fact and I don't wanna raise anyone's hopes more than they already are or aren't, if you know what I mean...

You saw it already and heartily endorsed the contents. ;) Actually, speaking of messages, I do have to tell you something kind of important. Now, it's a legit message. Check your inbox on Tumblr. 

But that's a good enough reason for wanting to be secretive about it. Plus, well, where would the fun be if the surprise is spoiled? 

Chatte is a tease! Pass it on! (Sorry, I had to. Love you so much, though! <3)

 

I am, am I not?

 

Oh, I will take it easy, don't worry ^^ And plus, it's not just me, everyone worked hard on this! 

I left a very interesting message about you on Tumblr. Check it out! ;) 

And aww! Good job, everyone! I really hope this all comes true!

Bue hue hue, I have that last piece of the puzzle, you'll understand it as soon as I post it. ;)

 

Btw, tonight I will do it. As soon as I get home, eat something and do the stuff that need to be done in RL haha, I'm gonna continue writing the theory.

 

Everything is patched up! Only pray that I don't see more connections, LOL! Cause yesterday I had only 2 pages, today I have 6 pages with connections and what to write about LOL!

 

Thx god I split the other half in 4 other mini parts...

Oh, you tease! :\ 

OMG! This is so exciting, though! I cannot wait to read what you have to say! This is going to be good!  

But, yeah, be sure to take it easy, just the same. You've been working really hard at this. <3

 

That's one of those cases with underneath the underneath ;) All I'm saying is red thread of fate ;)

Oh, I understand now! Is it something more than MinaKushi's story (and how it ties into NaruSaku) and how Hinata's red string of fate (scarf) seems to tear? These are the only things that come to mind- well, besides Sakura being defined as fate. 

Dammit! Like, I think I have your evidence down, but I just cannot piece it together to get to the bottom of it all. :( 

Hey, I was kidding, you know that, right??? ^^

I feel like an idiot, but am I missing something? Has the idea of fate been emphasized more than the character that was placed in Sakura's box? Has it really been tied to the film as a whole? 

 

I really don't get them. I mean it's obvious that they're bias towards anything Hinata and yet they can and have also given some good NS moments (e.g. that filler when Naruto said he loved Sakura and then mecha Naruto filler -- really loved that NS moment tbh). These guys are hot/cold.

I don't know how true or accurate this is, but I've heard that while they like Hinata, NS is their preferred pairing. Hell, I've even seen some NH/SS fans worried that some scenes arguably in their favor would be sacrificed for this ship. XD

On that note, I used to love Hinata's character. She was my first favorite from this series, before I got to connect with any of the other characters. But everything SP has done has entirely turned me off to her. UGH! 

Guys i might have an understanding of things.

 

The key word of this movie is going to be "Fate"

 

That defines everything.

And it relates to Sakura's character, as well, based on what we have in the pamphlet. OMG! Is this what I think you're implying? 

Where did you hear or see this bit of info., btw, if you don't mind my asking? 

 

Is it wrong of me to yearn for a group of so-called "professionals" at a company to suffer so much ridicule and detestation that they all hang their heads in shame as the stupidity and prejudice of their actions is thrown back into their faces by the very people they were counting on for acknowledgement and success? Because that's how I'm feeling right about now towards the pantomime. 

I wouldn't go that far, but I definitely have to say that I cannot trust them as professionals, especially if half the stuff that's been said about them is true. Ridiculing us NS fans, despite us having a legit interpretation that Sakura's feelings toward Naruto were growing and were the basis of a deeper devotion to him than what her feelings for Sasuke entailed? If they really sold out, that's even worse. No comment. 

Ok, rough Google translation of that message:

 

Of NARUTO
True heroine
Is Hinata
by gang name: Hinaibu

 

Yeah, it's just random comment. Wouldn't think twice about it.

Okay, good. I hope it's not some type of implicit endorsement of the opinion contained therein. 

 

I'm pretty sure a lot of the stuff sent would be published unless it's offensive/unfit to post. However, if that isn't the case, and each post is chosen to be published, the only answer is that SP favour Hinata and they would be inclined to agree, wouldn't affect the movie, it would just solidify their personal preference.

I hope that's the case, especially because it seems as though they've been changing the comments on the site frequently. 

same old, same old. we have yet to see a scene of hinata actually looking like a heroine in the movie. meanwhile we got this:

If it's not just a matter of marketing and this movie canonizes NH, I'm just going to be baffled. What's the point of spending so much time developing the heroine and her relationship with the titular character, if she's to be sidelined like this? Why would they spend so much time and resources marketing them together for so many things? It just doesn't add up. :\

 

Funny when you think about it, that a character that has been in the background for a majority of the series is now suddenly the main heroine. Haha yeah...no

 

EDIT: By the way, isn't that from the messages that you can post to Kishi? So didn't a random fan say that or something?

Looks like it, but why would the choose to publish it? 

 

W-what is this?

 

Lately i'm too scared to open links because it may lead me to another heartbreak

 

 

I'm terribly sorry if i'm too weak-willed nowadays

 

but this is the first time my heart got broken over a manga/anime pairing

(because the pair i usually like ends up together)

 

so i do not really know how to cope.

I know exactly how you feel. I just need this movie out to end everything once and for all, whatever the outcome may be...

 

I wonder if this is going to incur any backlash or reprisals from the fans in Japan as a whole. A number of them might be interest in watching the movie for the sake of supporting the series and listening to that Mizuki songstress's voice, but to try and illegitmise Sakura's heroine status and replace her with Hinata (not just in terms of plot relevancy, but outfitting her with the same exact clothes as Sakura and by positioning her next to Naruto)? I hope this movie is an utter failure at the box office. 

Well, the Japanese fan who shared this on Twitter was making fun of it, so we know there's at least one person who's been pissed off. XD 

Are you guys ready for elevated blood pressure? Look at what just came up on my Tumblr dash. No. Words.

http://dattebayo--ne...witter-sp-staff

So, what do you guys think about the theories relating Bolt's name to Neji and how Hinata and Naruto would want that as a way to honor his memory? 

Just saw this post on my dash. What do you guys think?
