It's like an endless combo of gut punches with the feels this episode.
The Kishimoto fake-out turnabout. Oh, the shipping wars it perpetuated...

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.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarI definitely agree it took way too long to get back to her on that, especially when she has important moments with him later on.
Improving as an author, one video at a time.Hey now, Hinata gets to hold his hand and fight alongside him in the final arc.
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.)

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarUnlike Pokémon, the main character actually succeeds at his dreams. (It helps that his goals are actually tangible.)

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.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarYou'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.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Ride that bicycle in Ninja Heaven, Hinata. You had a good life.

This animation looks awful.
