Well I would argue that Shonen Jump didn't care about pairings, but rather only if it made money.
SP: "We are going to make Naruto and Hinata get together."
SJ: "Okay....we don't realy care. Would it make us money?"
SP: "Mayb-.....Yes, it would make us tons of money."
SJ: "Then do it."
So while you would be right about that SP and the Hinata wankers just wanted Hinata to give Naruto sexual healing...SJ probably only care about money.
I mean, let us not forget that SP did this:
And the illustrator of Food Wars did this:
They drew the "heroines of the other anime" and look who is there? Hint: It is not Hinata Hyuga
So everyone KNEW NS was supposed to be the canon pairing. Everyone knew and expected NS to be the end couple, but because of Studio Pierot and Kishimoto blatently biased editors....Hinata got top billing for something she wasn't even supposed to be apart of.
This is how we know it is a retcon. Everyone knew and they forced it to not happen. It is as simple as that, but pro-enders want to make believe in the stories of "red herrings" and the idea that NH was planned from the beginning. Kishimoto couldn't even plan 1 month in advance in his story, how are we to believe he planned NH 15 years in advance?
This is true. If they were to showcase Minato and Kushina...it would only put more doubt in the idea that NS should have been canon in the first place. Especially if Minato was fleshed out to be more like Naruto.
Heck, I hate it when NH pro-enders say that Naruto is like Kushina and Hinata is like Minato when Minato HIMSELF said that Naruto was like him and Sakura was like Kushina. Red herring my ass.
Oh yes I know. I was just remembering an older point you were making in that Making NH canon because either company "wanted money" was contradictory to how they acted and planned this thing out, and that the data says otherwise. something along those lines
Yup, it caused a huge uproar for the brief time it was on Twitter. And NH fans were torn between being outraged over the sanctified image of NaruHina being "sullied' by a hentai scene...to ridiculing us because it was taken down. I kitten you not.
HY-PO-CRI-SY!!!! werent't all those wankers BEGGING Naruto and Hinata to have sex because they wanted them to get married? What they expected them to be some sort of "chastity couple" after explicitly being show that Boruto was born in the first place? Not to mention, how many of them actually salivate towards NH hentai doujins.
