I saw Luffy at Thanksgiving parade. Take that, Naruto.

Can't say one piece isn't huge anymore, that's for sure. Which was always one of the arguments you heard from naruto fans

That argument was only for the US because of how One Piece was handled through 4Kids before moving to Funimation. I can say its popularity skyrocketed thanks to online streaming and recently, the live-action series on Netflix.

[Bail o' Lies]

One Piece hasn't really been second to Naruto since about 2016 when streaming took off, add in the successful live action (which can be shown to people that refuse to watch cartoons,) and its likely the One Piece is more well known than Naruto is at this point. Not helped that its been stuck in it nadir in terms of relevance since the ending, and by Boruto's poor reception not helping in getting out of it.

 

Think about it. The One Piece's live action adaptation has been worked on for years and has been released. The Naruto Live Action Adaptation has only been announce it has writers that are going to start working on it; after One Piece Netflix was shown to be a success. That saying they (Shueisha/Netflix) didn't have enough confidence to risk doing it first, and instead went with One Piece. Because they must have seen it as more likely to be profitable. Now that it is, they are now willing to risk a Naruto adaption.

 

Hell, remember that Naruto had a live action movie that Lionsgate supposedly been working on for the past 9 years that has simply been milled around by putting some writers on it to write a scrip, then store it.

You really can't forget about me, can you? I never said anything like that. Since you quoted me months later, I will clarify some recent events for some delusional fans who are still mourning NaruSaku death after 9 years.
 
I stated that they would disregard the Boruto manga storyline due to its poor quality and Ikemoto's inability to craft a compelling narrative or produce decent artwork. This has nothing to do with the canon couples.
 
The producers admited that:
 

 
As you can see, they would rather create their own story instead of use Ikemoto story. 
 
- Instead of focusing on Boruto and Kawaki, they shifted their focus to Sasuke and Naruto.
- Rather than the Otsutsuki, they centered their attention on the Uchiha clan.
- Instead of the Karma power, they focused on the Sharingan.
- War and clans conflict instead of the aliens.
 
 
At this point they're just try to milk out the Uchihas and popular plots then tried to hide it by adding Boruto's character in the game.  

 
Despite your alleged popularity of NaruSaku, which led to a decline in the franchise's popularity due to fan backlash, the game producers remained oblivious and made no alterations to the canon couples. Instead of developing an alternative NaruSaku family, they introduced a New Team Special featuring Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada. 
 
As you can see, Nanashi was just an Uchiha wearing a blonde wig instead of a NaruSaku daughter from another dimension. Let's hope that every blonde character introduced is a NaruSaku son.
 

Also today is the official couples day in Japan.
They still are using the Canon Couples propaganda and ignoring NaruSaku.
 

 
 
They released a pair of rings referencing and paying tribute to Sasuke and Sakura.

Let's wait. Maybe in 2050, a NaruSaku son from another dimension will appear, or Kishimoto will express regret for his canon couples decision, stating that he lost his wife based  Sakura to Sasuke due to the influence of the evil editors and Hinata fans.

NaruSaku represented one of the last (if not the only) of truly good storytelling this series had to offer. As people have pointed out to you many times, the setup has been there since chapter 3.

This series has abandoned all attempts at meaningful storytelling, hence why Boruto is the universally acknowledged trash fire that it is. For all your sad efforts at appealing to popularity (i.e. hey guys, look at this random poll I found that ranks SasuSaku as the greatest anime pairing ever!), this is a truth you are utterly unable to ignore; your precious pairings coincide with a formerly universally popular series that has gotten so bad that an entire alternate future video game has to be released just so people might acquire some interest in the actual finished product. Whereas you see this and grow frustrated, I see this and smirk with vindication.🤣

You keep your canon trash fire (where in recognition of how awful these characters have become, Naruto and Hinata literally become fodder for the ole stuffed in thr fridge trope). I'm content with fan creations (art, doujin and fanfiction) celebrating not what is, but could have bee.

And I'm sorry, but there's no way that poll can ever be taken seriously.  NaruHina and SasuSaku ranking higher than TwiYor and Kirisuna is an absolute joke.  Especially when even the series itself has taken cracks at NaruHina by pointing out that Hinata is an incompetent mother via Naruto insulting her for abandoning their children in a crisis, to Toneri straight-out saying to Boruto that Hinata was a consolation prize for his father.

Higher than Kirisuna??? What!! 

 

That's definitely a joke! 

[ThroughWithLove]

Kirisuna is so popular that it became DLC it an entirely separate series (Tales of Arise). Nobody but the most ardent Naruto fanboys gives a crap about Sasuke and Sakura (which is why the SS manga failed miserably).

The beautiful thing I love about Kirisuna is that that they didn't take the story waiting to become a couple... it happened during the very first arc of the series, and what's beautiful is seeing how Reki Kawahara (at least Post - Fairy Dance arc) focused on how their lives are after becoming a couple and its something  wish many other writers would do! 

 

 

Naruto fanboys are just too stuck in sand ignoring what writers do to execute a beautiful love story sub plot.

We can debate at how much of a sell it will turn out to be, at least. if if it actually happens, and in the mean time we can laugh at the development hell it is currently going under. There is clear debate and hesitancy on whether it will be a bust.

I'd personally stick to Loid.    But that's just me

 

but yeah you know a relationship is sad when what's holding it together are the kids and nothing else if at all. The husbands ARE NOT EXCITED to see or spend time with their wives. The story clearly points that out

[Bail o' Lies]

Live-action is currently on the works... oh boy.

Not just one but possibly two.

 

I think it was mentioned a few pages back...

 

Oh what do you know. Yesterday, they had another announcement about the Naruto movie.

 

So lets do both.

 

Lionsgate's Naruto Live action movie: From what I recall and suspect. This was part of the deal for Kishimoto to go along with the ending and the planned sequel, "Boruto." Kishimoto is a huge fan of Hollywood movies and probably enjoyed the idea of his story becoming a Hollywood movie. Problem is that the ending happened and Naruto fell from its lofty perch. Which moved it from being made to constant production & development.

 

Every Hollywood Movie Company has thousands of IPs that they own the movie rights to, but never plan to actually make an actual movie out of; they have those rights to make sure their competitors don't have them, so they can't make millions from that IP. Now of course, they would eventually lose their movie rights if they didn't do anything with them, especially if those rights were given by another company. So how do they make sure they keep the movie's rights? Simple, by having a movie in constant production/development. They do this by having a guild writer write a script for them. Then they have some low level exec read it. Then they store it. More likely that script may be use for another movie later on. Sometimes they even get a director in between jobs on board as well.

 

That was Naruto's Live Action Movie's fate for the past nine years. Every few years or so they get a writer to write a script for a Naruto movie to assure Shueisha they are working on it. Maybe a director if they really need convincing. Then store it once they stop asking questions. Citing difficulties of some kind as justification.

 

If that has changed recently, it is only because of Netflix's One Piece, not anything Naruto related.

 

Netflix's Naruto: Apparently at some point, they gave the right to a live action tv series to Netflix. Which they then gave to one of the writers of Witcher: Blood Origins. Now Netflix is far more willing to produce the stuff that they buy the rights to; so this may actually be released. And its up in the air, if it will be another One Piece, or one of their regular live action adaptations of an anime like their Cowboy Bebop live action adaptation. 

 

Again, this is due to the success of the Live Action One Piece; not anything Naruto related.

Lol Id laugh so much if they made Naruto and Sasuke gay. We all know what Netflix is like as unlike Oda. Kishi has no balls so hed do whatever Netflix says.

The time to make a Naruto Live Action was early 2000. 2012 at the latest. Now a day it going to be a mess.

 

They will probably try to make the cast different races, gay, or trans.

 

Naruto: The one that is going to have the most focus on their representation changes as he (even that is probably going to be in question) is the main character. Are they even going to even try to make him have Blue eyes and Blond hair? If he is a minority, they are going to go on and on about how oppressed he is, and if he is white, then he can't complain about it or will get lectures on 'white fragility' or something like that. Then, if the progressive decided that he is "queer coded" and they stick with the canon pairings...Oh the hissy fits that will happen. And, if they even shown the sexy jutsu, then they will also declare him trans.

 

Sasuke: Will probably be fine due to them just needing to make another Kylo Ren/Edward Cullen/Jon Snow. I pity the sap they get in the role though. As he will be stalked after by desperately lonely women for decades. And there will be blood fights between him being gay or not.

 

Sakura: Depends, if they remove her hitting and lecturing Naruto. Either she will be a kitten or they will have to come up with things for her to do so she isn't seen as useless therefore problematic and sexist. So she may be turned into a girl boss.

 

Kakashi: Will be played by a semi-famous actor, so either the best actor or clearly barely putting in any effort, that is likely years too old.

 

Shikamaru: Will probably be lectured and reduced as a male character can't be the smartest especially if he is lazy casually smarter than everyone. Unless he is a soy face hipster that a stand in for the writer/director. May end up in a gay couple with Chouji. Remember, men can't be close friends to modern writers. If they are close, they must be gay.

 

Ino: Likely made into either a complete slut or covered up more than a nun in convent. Also, she and Sakura/Tenten/Hinata may end up as lesbian couple. 

 

Chouji: Will largely be fine due to being the fat kid. Problem is he will go from pudgy/big bone to morbidly obese. With lectures on body acceptance.  

 

Kiba and Shino will probably be fine...they will probably be made gay to have another gay couple

 

Hinata: Depends. Do they see her as regressive or a self insert? If they think she is regressive; complete personality change. If they see her as themselves. Did anyone see Velma? Think that and that's not even getting into the Hyuuga clan issue.

 

Lee: Will probably be fine...if also made gay. Either in love with Guy or Neji.

 

Tenten: Is the most sporty of the girls, so either lesbian or trans.

 

Neji:...Depends how they handle the Hyuuga issue.

 

Tsunade: Girl Boss

 

Jiraiya: Castrated. 

 

So a for possible outcome for a Naruto Live Action. Imagine a gay transgender Steve Urkel chasing after Edward Cullen, when he not constantly moaning about how oppressed he is, while Ken Watanabe playing Kakashi keeps pulling his mask down to show his face every five seconds, and the women they get to play Sakura will constantly quip with a smug look on her face as well as she will on social media declare that all fans of Naruto are sexist that shouldn't complain about anything as well as saying they shouldn't watch it.
