YMMV / Chunin Exam Day

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: Many cruel jokes become even funnier because they are being repeated again and again, with increasing levels of ridiculousness (like Sasuke being gelded and blinded by Gaara, with increasing amount of female Naruto clones cheering on him each time, while real Naruto makes even better picnic for Kankuro and Temari each time, or Hinata sealing the whole main family with caged bird seals).
    • It also crosses the line thrice in one case, with jokes on Sakura becoming funny, and then sad again when you start feeling sorry for her.
  • Karmic Overkill: Sakura. While canon Sasuke hadn't done anything worse than mild teasing and being antisocial, this version is under vast amounts of Adaptational Villainy. But Sakura's sole "crime" was not wanting to date Naruto, for which she's subjected to decades of humiliation via the loops. Even after she's brought into the loops and undergoes significant Character Development, she still suffers years of being ostracized until she asks Naruto to permanently kill her to end her loneliness. Even readers who dislike Sakura end up pitying her for all she goes through.
  • Strawman Has a Point: When Naruto insists he's not interested in Sakura anymore, he claims that if she was genuinely interested in him she would have accepted one of his date offers. The problem is, by his count Naruto asked her out thousands of times over four years. Even if Sakura had thought of him as a friend, being asked on a date multiple times a day (on average) doesn't mean he's persistent or genuine about his feelings. It means Sakura needed a restraining order against him.
    • Sakura actually demonstrates several cases of obvious concern for Naruto in the early chapters that put the lie to much of the author's assertions about her; even when the author is working to sustain the premise he can't resist undermining himself by having Sakura bash herself because she cares about Naruto.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: Sasuke and Sakura to different extents.
    • Sasuke is repeatedly stated to have no redeeming qualities but also gets mutilated, murdered, publicly humiliated, and mind raped on a regular basis. For example, in one loop Ino possesses Sasuke and makes him soil himself then declare that his clan has to play with their feces in order to evolve their Sharingan. Afterwards, Sasuke is threatened with death if he tells anyone what happened.
    • Sakura is finally brought into the loops after a loop of the harem members bullying her to various degrees (such as making her wear a tiny bikini while they all have covering one piece swimsuits with skirts) and offering to have sex with Naruto in exchange for training. Sakura spends an unknown number of loops (implied to be several years) as an outcast, to the point she once offered to let Naruto "do any depraved sexual act he wanted" if he'd just show her some affection again. It's only when Sakura asks to be left out of the loops, functionally killing this version of herself, that she's officially considered redeemed and brought into the harem now that she's "putting others before herself".
