Why would these people choose to have such a meek and subservient caricature like Hinata for a spouse? I mean do they find the concept of someone who will live and breathe only for them with no other defining traits that appealing? It sounds almost depressing how they would elect to have someone who is incapable of living for themselves or other motivating drives share that type of interpersonal relationship with them -- no ambition, no confidence, nothing. They come across as being narcissistic in a way.   

I do know that it appears to be largely thanks to popularity that Vegeta is still active in DBZ. Unfortunately, that same benefit doesn't appear to extend to Gohan, Trunks or Piccolo. What an odd coincidence that is. Naruto in certain regards is similar.  

If there was any sense of an honest and even-handed justice system in this series then practically every villain to trudge onto the scene would be in chains for decades as a minimum sentence or dead. Even the ones whom you could describe as having a moral framework that overlaps the accepted notions of right and wrong have still killed, persecuted, or fought for those who seek to undermine the health and livelihood of others at one point or another. I would have no qualms with someone like Orochimaru whose crimes have absolutely no moral justification that have impacted thousands in such horrific and repugnant ways being executed. That man is a monster, pure and simple, and the fact that an elected official like Naruto who is sworn to protect the well-being of the people in Konoha and act as a role model for human decency would not only turn a blind eye to Orochimaru's actions, but openly correspond with him according to what some here have said should be grounds for impeachment and prosecution. 

What if they do Naruto Super, using the already made movies content but now on anime tv.

The Dragonball series mishandles their characters even worse than Naruto does in some respects. With the exception of Vegeta who appears to have been given immunity to this trait for whatever reason, the cast of characters are discarded after an arc or two's worth of nominal significance. Rather than kill them off to instill some kind of worth or context to their existence so they could at least be utilised in some way, they're constantly revived using the plot device known as the Dragonballs. You're left with a swollen list of characters who have no intrinsic purpose to fulfill besides occupy the background and stroke the egos of the villains or Goku/Vegeta. I can't tell you how much I've grown to despise DB for this. Part of me wishes for the anime to fail so that Toei can understand that they need to innovate their franchise rather than stick to tired old formulas.

Can Rock Lee move at The Speed of Sound?

The speed of sound is approximately 340 m/s. I'm not certain whether Lee's optimal speed is equal to that or not. He can unlock upwards to the 6th Gate, but whether that is equal to or greater than the speed of sound is unknown. Regardless, he's still one of the most powerful members of the K11. The only ones more powerful than him being Naruto and Sasuke themselves. 

Oh, how I yearn to see someone incite Sakura for her blatant hypocrisy. She decries Naruto's love as being a byproduct of his rivalry with Sasuke while ignoring the fact that she ended her friendship with Ino over a hormonal yearning for Sasuke while pledging that they were rivals in the pursuit of "love" now. The callous manner in which they discarded all of Naruto's feelings for Sakura was harsh enough, but it really pisses me off when they fail to acknowledge the fact that the excuses used in obliterating said feelings are the same crippling attributes that help make her infatuation over Sasuke look toxic. 

The problem with her development was that it was on-off-on-off. Kishi drops her, then picks her up again. She does something amazing just to revert back to selfish weak girl or is simply forgotten about. She fights Sasori and we never see that side of her again. She gets her seal and kicks ass, but has to be saved by her male comrades she was so eager to reach up to. She expresses mental maturity in the war with two great speeches, just to end back to "why don't you love me Sasuke?".

There wasn't a realistic means for her to compete with her teammates once they started acquiring absurd godlike powers. It's the same as the tired old debate over how to revitalise the humans' roles after they were eclipsed by the Saiyans and their transformations in DBZ. At best, had Slug Sage Mode actually been made a reality and if it were combined with her seal, she might have been able to rival SM Naruto and MS Sasuke. A commendable level, but still incapable of making any significant difference against the figureheads of the opposing side like Madara. 

Original topic: I had a faint suspicion that there might be a potential upset where nH and SS occurred, albeit they were faint. There were also moments of complacency and near-absolute self-assurances that Naruto and Sakura would come together, but unfortunately the screeching masses got their dream pairings and now we're left with a battered and broken franchise where development and accountability mean nothing. 

That is why i said 'I THINK' right? im just stating my opinion on the matter, to me this can't never be finished/complete until he state which is true, so far his interview just keep contradict the older one. He should have do this be clear not adding confusion, NH was plan from the beginning, then NH was plan in the middle, he even go as far to use his OWN WIFE as a shield to justify the ending, really?? is he a REAL man? using your own family to cover his own mistake? he is a father a head of the family he should be the one who protect his own family and now that rabid fans insult his own wife because of him.

Really??? is this FINISHED?? complete?? someone insult your wife and then ok whatever im leaving to write something new.

I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that he was using his wife as a deflection apparatus. All he's doing is describing how the final choice for pairings almost created a rift in their household. What he states in regards to citing her as an inspiration for Hinata was articulated more in the context of that he was trying to achieve some kind of short term appeasement with her because she was furious over a specific manga character not becoming romantically involved with another one. If the grounds for whether you're happy or not in a relationship is based upon such flimsy notions then perhaps your chief concerns are misplaced. Having your own opinions on the manga is one thing, but to allow it to dictate the terms of your actual marriage in real life is just silly.

It's funny that WSJ video has omitted the wife being upset that NS never happened 

I don't see why he or anyone else feels the need to justify it. If it was truly what he intended from the beginning then there shouldn't be so much attention committed to the question. Kishi should simply move onto his next project and hope that any future pairings he tries to create are better supported in that series. 

I've been keeping up with it, well mostly skimping (I think this is the correct word for not watching it entirely just skipping forward to what interested me).

It's ok, I guess. The animation is fine except for one episode were it sucked. As much as I liked Battle Of Gods (well just the fight), I find the new DBS quite boring. The magic is gone or I'm just really picky.

I also saw Resurrection of Frieza, and was disappointed with the logic behind it. I found it quite stupid.

What's wrong? Didn't care for Frieza rivaling Bluper Saiyan Goku in 4 months time? How about Gohan not being sure that he can still use Super Saiyan? Maybe it was Piccolo being taken out by someone claimed to be Zarbon-tier that annoyed you the most? Or could it be that the series has become so totally derailed that we now have Roshi taking on Frieza's army while Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Goten, and Trunks get sidelined because it's too much for them? 

That's just the movie. Personally, I have yet to watch either of the films or the new series. From what I've heard, it's just a muddied down rehashing of the films, as you said, with much more filler added in. 

Yeah, SP pretty much made her popular, they made her more important than she really was. I mean you can see Kishimoto at first (again, I say at first.) one, she looked more like a boy than Sakura does when Sakura first appears. Even in later chapters Hinata still isn't that well drawn, she actually looks pretty dang creepy. Kishimoto also doesn't have her appear in the manga till closer to the chunin exams (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), then after that he barely develops her character at all. Heck, she's barely even in the manga! Kiba's dog appears more times then she does. 

 

On the other hand SP made her "cuter" and more feminine like, they over sexualized her, (starting at 12 flippin years old with the naked waterfall dance in a filler episode) and make her small scenes from the manga, bigger and longer. They go as far as to add scenes that never happened in the manga. They even make her animation look better than everyone else's, including Naruto's, who is the main character.... They even allowed her to appear in early stages of the Naruto anime, (pretty sure) the third episode, to have her say one line, "I guess I won't be on the same team as Naruto." 

 

So, yeah, all SP's doing and fans just fell for her. 

Technically she was 13 during that filler scene which is the Age of Consent in Japan. Regardless, it doesn't make it any less repulsive that a professional animation studio would exploit the imagery of a young child like that. 

Sasuke still has plenty of blood on his hands, no matter how Kishi tries to absolve him of his past crimes. The only reason why he's not being escorted to a tribunal in chains is because of some half-assed excuse about him being one of the key players who helped bring an end to the 4th shinboi world war; while that may be true, it was made explicitly clear by Sasuke himself that he was only fighting to preserve his own ideology. Exonerating him for something like mutually assured survival would be the equivalent to handing Orochimaru a clean slate to continue kidnapping, torturing, and experimenting on innocent people for his own aims simply because he showed up close to the end to throw some snakes around a tree branch and bite Spiral Zetsu on the neck. Ironically, that's what happened since he's apparently in the spin-off according to people who have read it with no one batting an eye that this sociopathic mad man is still on the loose.

It makes things worse each and every time you see a character further in the story say "Sasuke killed Itachi" when that couldn't be further from the truth - Sasuke being effortlessly owned throughout the entire fight all because of Itachi wanting to push him into a corner to draw out Orochimaru and get rid of the Curse Seal, so just letting Sasuke pull out more, then keeping just slightly ahead until the very end, where Susano'o put Sasuke at his most helpless..And this was also with Itachi's eyes being like...99% blind and conveniently on the verge of death anyway from some unnamed illness that is never explained how he got to begin with, all just to allow Sasuke to "win" and get the Mangekyo. Itachi may as well have just killed himself overall. Even Obito told Sasuke that, had Itachi been serious about killing him, then he could have done so instantly whenever he chose.

I didn't care for Itachi because of the simple fact of him being written as a Gary Stu who could do no wrong, that includes his almost flawless performance in combat. Did anyone ever legitimately outmanoeuvre him with no strings attached? The closest example which comes to mind is Kabuto bisecting him after feigning unconsciousness. 

I seen one of the reviews. It stated that BS will likely be the new NaruSaku (with all the rehashed NS hints in the film) pairing because it was gravelly hinted that Bolt and Sarada will get together in the future. Well who wants this NS consolation prize from Kishi?

What incentive could Pierrot have for fostering that abomination? It's not like any fan of nH/SS who denounced NS for the "violent" dynamics that isn't a hypocrite would be supportive of that drivel. There's nothing to be gained from implying anything since the series is coming to an end after the anime is finished. And do you want to know something funny? This so called "development" is all derived from the film created by the studio that did everything it could to paint the NaruSaku relationship in a bad light. If you ask me, they can shove their crap into their collective skulls and let it fester there. 

Has Kishi said anything true, nowadays?

That he pitied Hinata enough to give her a prize? That Sakura is obsessed with Sasuke? At least those two comments have panned out. Now whether you believe this film is actually his "crowning masterpiece" or not is up to you. Personally, I believe it will fall into the same category as all of the other obscured Part 1 and Shippuden films that were ranked as average to below average. Compared to "The Last", however, that's a step up.
