The ending of Boku No Hero Academia is similar to that of Assassination Classroom, but very poorly executed.

Nagisa = Midoriya

Karma = Bakugou

Kaede = Uraraka.

I regards to comic book and manga sales. I'm not entirely trusting those that are saying that comic are losing to managa because of the "woke  agenda", because those type of people have agendas themselves.

So I went and tried to find someone that rather neutral when it comes to the topics of manga vs comic or woke vs anti woke, which lead me to comicstorian with these two videos.

The first one here explains that while managa is on the rise, marvel and dc still have the highest market share even if they have gone down a little bit due to ruse if over comic companies like image and idw.

Graphic novels are more on the rise over units sales and manga counts as graphic novel sales, as they don't sell single issues in the USA. Which as a result manga like my hero academia counts as one series comic to individual comic series on one character, but add all the series for a  charater like say like batman he outsales my hero.

Though manga is selling better in Japan than comics in the USA, but comics aren't as dead as people me them out to be.

Here is the link to the video that explains it better than me

This video is a follow to last in response to some arguments. Like comic book stores closing and how some individual shops closing does not mean comics as a whole dying or that some have more manga volumes on the self rather than comics ignoring how comics and manga aren't exactly sold the same way in the USA. Also how some modern art for comic arenmore inspired by Japan just means that art is more diversifying in comics rather than Japanese art style taking over.

How comic individual sales have become more harder to track after the pandemic. But also explains that manga are selling better in local comic shops than comic is due to some things like manga series being more easier to track than certain comic stories when customers don't know which continuity they belong in. Also that managa has their animes to promote them. Which comicbook companies don't really market some of their stuff properly like manga do with anime. Though the xmen 97 comis might due well due to the show.

Personal fir me I'm enough images transformers and ultimate marvel line coming out, as the morden spiderman has gone to the toilet with zebb wells run.

Now as for Disney last year wasn't a good year for them for the 100th year anniversary, with only really gaurdians of the galaxy volume 3, loki season 2 and that Disney special celebrating 100 years of Disney doing well.

But for this year so far I would say they are doing well with films like inside out 2, kingdom of planet of the apes and now deadpool & wolverine all have currently made it into the top 10 highest grossing films of the year, with inside out 2 currently the highest grossing film of the year making 1.5 billion at the box office.

The only real failure so far is the acolyte which has divided star wars fans once again, now I don't know how Disney will react to this bit I guess it depends how the other show does this year that's coming out.

For tmnt x naruto crossover, I think they might try to skip the romance just because it problematic. For sakura I could just see them making her interact with April O'Neil.

Many people believe that Western comics are limited to Marvel and DC publications. However, there are other publishers and a variety of genres available. This limited view leads them to think that the Western comic market is small. Although it is not as large as the Japanese market, it is sufficiently broad to allow these major publishers to achieve significant profits.

And it is difficult to know about sales because now there is the digital medium, which has been gaining ground in the US, Japan, Korea, and other countries. Just note that when Kimetsu made a huge impact in the physical media, people found it incredible because, up until that moment, the physical media market was declining.

Another point is that Japanese manga has a consolidated animation industry that helps sell their manga, while the Western animation market died in the 90s.

And Japan has been gaining competitors, such as manhwas, which are popular for their artwork, ease of reading, and novelty factor. Additionally, they have the marketing of live-action adaptations via K-dramas (which have become quite popular in the West), C-dramas, and animations.

I was following a pairing thread on Twitter and saw several fans mocking  NaruSaku  because their relationship blossomed primarily due to Sasuke's absence.

 

Despite many NaruSaku fans hating Sasuke for being an obstacle to the couple and his return definitively crushing NS's chances.

Ironically, Sasuke was the character who helped NaruSaku the most. Not Sai, Yamato or Minato.

 

it was only during his absence that Sakura and Naruto started to grow closer, with the goal of bringing him back. The Promise of a Lifetime (POAL) was made,etc.

Along with his entire transformation into a major antagonist force trying to destroy the village, including trying to kill Sakura, which gave the NaruSaku fandom hope that Sakura would eventually abandon her feelings for him and fall for Naruto.

 

However, this wasn't meant to be. Sasuke returned to help during the war, was redeemed, apologized, and Sakura jumped into his arms, effectively ending NaruSaku.

 

 

 

Here's the question:

 

In a scenario where Sasuke stayed in the village and continued to develop his bond with Sakura without events like the Uchiha clan massacre, Orochimaru's cursed seal, Itachi's torture, or Tobi's revelation about the village and the Uchiha massacre,

 

 

Would Sakura have still developed some kind of bond with Naruto, with Sasuke closer to her like in Part 1? Or is NaruSaku entirely dependent on Sasuke's absence?

 

 

 

SasuSaku was a very strong couple in Part 1, while NS was almost nonexistent. It was only in Part 2 that NS started to gain traction in the story and by fandom due to Sasuke's absence and crimes.

Se Sasuke não tivesse ido para Orochimaru, tenho a sensação de que ele se tornaria cada vez mais uma versão ninja de Rukawa, e o final de Naruto seria semelhante ao de Slam Dunk.

I wouldn't say the pairing's behind us... (Sp recently released a acrylic of sakura confessing to naruto) Yes some people watch boruto but many people don't like the sequel series much like people don't like the new star wars... Will disney do something to make amends for their actions? It might be unlikely. Or look at the way ash's story in pokemon ended. Many things not addressed and ash never even meets his dad. But it doesn't matter enough it seems. I still wouldn't claim all of ash's fans put the series behind them. Sakura was also a lot higher than hinata in the recent poll (higher than naruto and sasuke even). Sakura vs chiyo also won the fight poll as well.... Kishimoto was likely copying the love triangle in dragon quest: the adventure of dai but probably didn't do a great job but even so i don't think sakura was hated to a huge extent. There are youtubers nowadays who openly say sakura and naruto should've been together so at least some fans know it should've happened

I think that the love triangle in Naruto resembles more the one in Slam Dunk, but without the sensational declaration from the protagonist.

This ending will only change if the author wants, but it seems that he no longer cares about his work and just wants to rest while it makes money for him.

Battle  shounen anime don't translate well into live action if you follow the original storyline. For example, if you attempt a live action adaptation of Dragon Ball sticking to the manga's plot, it would feel odd and likely fail. It would be better if they focused on the stories of Master Roshi or Grandpa Gohan, mirroring Bruce Lee's films. In Naruto, they would need to choose a ninja who doesn't seem out of place in live action for adaptation, but the title of the work complicates this. I have the feeling that the same will happen with Naruto as it did with Saint Seiya in Latin countries. It was very popular for decades but lost ground to Dragon Ball. In Naruto's case, it will be to One Piece
