Naruto is one of the best animes of all time, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Recently, Masashi Kishimoto talked about one of the flaws he would have liked to correct, and now an interview has come to light in which he confesses the reason behind one of the worst aspects of the work: its romances.
Naruto’s romances don’t make sense
Both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden have been more than capable of providing plenty of emotional moments that can bring tears to anyone’s eyes, especially with “Sadness and Sorrow” playing in the background. However, where it has failed to resonate is in the romantic relationships between characters, some of which are seen as forced by fans of the series.
One of the clearest examples would be Sasuke and Sakura, where no one understands when the Uchiha develops affectionate feelings for her, especially considering his attempts to kill her on several occasions. And even though they share a goodbye scene at the end of Naruto, this is not enough to justify why they end up married. While Boruto has tried to address the situation, the development of the romance remains unchanged.
The same cannot be said for Naruto and Hinata, one of the most clear-cut romances from the beginning of the series, thanks to the release of the movie “The Last.” Even so, the public felt that it was somewhat forced with slightly awkward scenes. Ino and Sai were another couple that no one quite understood. In the end, the only consistent couple in the universe might be Temari and Shikamaru, who are seen together on different occasions throughout the work since their alliance against the Sound ninjas.
Recently, a fragment of an interview with Masashi Kishimoto has come to light through Reddit where he was asked about this issue, and his response was very clear: the creator felt embarrassed to depict romantic scenes. It’s a shame, as many fans of the series were hoping for some sort of development in the relationships between characters, something that didn’t happen until near the end of Shippuden.
