The Heart of the Debate

As for the anime and manga lovers, probably none of the characters can be discussed with no mention of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga’s characters’ chemistry. The ending of the series “Naruto Shippuden” is more specific with Naruto and Hinata and that is something which raised controversies among fans. For some it was a satisfying end to a storyline that has been brewing for a while but others felt that it was rushed and not properly executed.

The Build-Up: Was It Enough?

Since the early series of Naruto, Hinata and Naruto’s relationship was merely a subplot. In regard to developing feelings for Naruto, Hinata’s emotions were evident right from the start of the series while the latest was not exactly aware of her crush. Thus, their relationship was never portrayed as the main goal and motivation of the entire series. However, Naruto’s main progression was his progression as a ninja and this was specifically his mission to be the Hokage.

Hinata’s background and support for Naruto are rather heartwarming, which raises but did enough evidence exist to support the pair’s coupling in the future? Some of the complaints for the series include that Hinata’s role was not developed well in relation to Naruto and changing them to a couple at the end felt forced.

The Romance Angle: A Mixed Bag

Concerning Naruto’s love interest throughout the series it was more of speculation. It had been expected that the right companion for Naruto would be Sakura Haruno who is shown in the series to have a confusing relationship with Naruto. Most fans agreed that Naruto would end up with Sakura because they have a historical relationship as they have grown together.

However, the author Kishimoto opts for Naruto to be paired with Hinata instead as a tribute to a less flamboyant but at the same time profound affection. Thus, for Hinata who persists in reciprocating Naruto’s oblivious love, the true essence of love was showcased. For some this was a breath of fresh air compared to a more apparent or typical romance seen in anime.

The Ending: Closure or Letdown?

Thus, the epilogue of “Naruto” gives a viewer a glimpse into the happy future life of Naruto and Hinata — marriage and children. To some it was a fitting finale to their favorite tale. It represented the latest evolution of the character of Naruto and the creation of his happy family.

Then there are those that consider that this resolution was not earned in the right manner. It has missed the potential opportunities for revealing more on the relations of how the two characters – Naruto and Hinata – advanced from friendship to romance. The final episodes of “Naruto Shippuden” and the “Boruto“. This is because until the end of the “Naruto Next Generations” series, their relationship’s progression was not given the sort of analysis that would have answered many of the questions that were left hanging.

Fans Weigh In: Diverse Opinions

Finally, it is crucial to state that there is a vast range of opinions in the discourses concerning Naruto and Hinata’s ending. Some viewers enjoy the ending for what it is: Hinata’s devotion and love and the fact that she is finally rewarded for her devotion in a post apocalyptic world. Some users believe that the romantic connection happened too quickly, and the selection of the couple was not explained clearly enough.

This divide shows the different explanations that are a result of the complexity in telling a romantic story in a long-running series. Imaginations or expectations of different persons differ significantly and, therefore, it is very difficult to meet all these expectations. Because the decision in episode 798 is never going to be as popular, Kishimoto’s narrative move at least helped complicate the discourse of the manga regarding what constitutes a satisfying romantic ending.
