Some of the things he said after the ending was so cringe. I feel like hes someone whod see the world like Andrew Tate. Oh, a woman giving up on her feelings, thats wrong, shes low value!
That whole comment from Kishi never really sat well with me, it was always a rather odd thing and really didn't set a great precedent as an author.
Hello person who hasn't been on since before I joined this site. Did you enjoy the one-shot?
1. Her daughter may have some daddy issues, but she is still the most likeable of the new main cast. Mitsuki, Orochimaru's son is just Sai with worshiping Boruto being his entire character; he is the second most positively received. Kawaki is Sasuke but the author's avatar this time. And, Boruto is a spoiled Naruto with behavior you can see a lot in fanfic that try to 'fix' Naruto and make him better; IE he whines and has hissy fits non-stop while thinking he better and more morally right than anyone else. Comparatively, Sarada is Sakura 2.0 with all her flaws removed (not saying that is a good thing,) her daddy issue are understandable as well as being delt with quickly unlike Boruto's which just drag on, and she has a goal of being Hokage. Comapred to her teammates' wants: to be her top enforcer because Boruto thinks Sasuke is cool, Mitsiki's just continuing to worship Boruto, and Kawaki's...something something kill Boruto which if he wasn't so stupid I be very supportive of.
It also helps that she is the best parent of the main cast, besides Orochimaru: Sasuke literally avoided his family for 12 years, Naruto neglected his to focus on his job, and Hinata passively allowed her family situation to get worse.
Granted Hinata having everything she ever wanted given to her and still does nothing probably hasn't helped her. When her defenders normally relied on pity because she was clearly the most oppressed character ever.
2. I always took that statement to be something his editors and assistance said in arguments to convince him to go with nH/SS. "Kishimoto-sensei, Sakura can't abandon her love for Sasuke or the fans will see her as a terrible woman." Not helped that is also the clear line of thought that exist in the Last. It is what Sakura's speech to Naruto boils down to. He said it in an interview because that's what he was convinced his fans believed, and what the Last was based on. Of course that backfired, especially in Japan. Of course, it not who said it first but is heard saying it that gets the blame, and he really should have never said it in the first place.
I didnt read the one-shot, I feel like Minakushi is narusaku-baiting. Ive been burnt too badly perhaps.
1. Thanks for the breakdown of Baruto, I dont follow it closely. I just meant Sakura, a girl who wanted love her whole life, ended up with an incomplete family.
2. Perhaps Kishi was influenced from other people, but ultimately, hes responsible for what he did. Nobody wouldve believed me if I went back in time and I told people that the author literally handed the ending of their own manga to an animation studio.
