Get ready for years of Tumblr shipping to pay off....and then be ignored for a few more years until some final payoff.

It's hard to believe Hanabi was once superior to Hinata in terms of skill.

It's like an endless combo of gut punches with the feels this episode. sad

I can only imagine how agonizing it was lol. There was no followup until 2-3 arcs later in the final one. How about that.

Guys guys it's fine, it's all part of Hisashi's master plan.

Yeah, I can understand why Naruto couldn't address it right away, since he doesn't know how to process love because nobody has ever told him they loved him before, but there was no reason the wait had to be that long.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

[up][up] And to top it off, there was more Naruto/Sakura teasing in the interim. Kishimoto was milking it for all it was worth.

I was waiting for someone to reference The Hyuga Conspiracy. [lol]

Honestly the whole thing could have been done better.

Like I don't know it just shouldn't have taken so Goddamn long for it to be acknowledged.

[up][up] All hail Hiashi. That man is a fucking genius.

I definitely agree it took way too long to get back to her on that, especially when she has important moments with him later on.

I think everyone can agree that the buildup to this entire relationship could have been handled a lot better than it ended up being.

Hey now, Hinata gets to hold his hand and fight alongside him in the final arc. tongue I guess she didn't mind the wait given the payoff.

(But yes, it could've been handled better, even if Naruto not understanding the concept of romantic love does have a certain logic to it.)

Okay I think the animation is decent but the art is fucking wonky as Hell like in Super.

Damn poor Naruto. Helped someone & he gets shit in return.

There's something strangely satisfying watching young Naruto boast about his dreams...and then realize that he'll actually do it.

Unlike Pokémon, the main character actually succeeds at his dreams. (It helps that his goals are actually tangible.)

The lesson to be learned about all this is that shounen mangaka can't into romance well.

@X: It also helps that Kishi realizes a main character fulfilling their dreams doesn't automatically mean their character arc is over.

[up] Yeah, I just don't get how TV Tokyo thinks that you can't tell a story with Ash if he ever wins the League for once in his eternally 10-year-old life.

You'd think villains in Shonen would learn not to hurt the hero's loved ones in front of him, but nope.

Won't lie, that last scene was really well done. You can see the complete and utter despair on Naruto's face. DELICIOUS.

[up][up][up] Its cause said mangaka can't be bothered to give a damn to write it decently.

Honestly just it give it a little focus & development, my God.

As much as Naruto gets a lot of flak for all the typical shonen pitfalls, when it does emotional drama right, it really does emotional drama right. This episode is genuinely upsetting.
