The Hinata Fallacy

In this video I do the same thing that I did with Sakura except a little bit more in-depth I think this video is for the most part just better than that last video I did it's a lot less driven by emotion and moreso driven by me actually wanting to get a point across.

If she lived could've been a really interesting intro into the Hidden Cloud village + the power of near and perfect jinchurikis and what Naruto could logically strive for etc. I think Kishi missed out on a lot of the world building in Naruto by shafting so many supporting characters. It's always a shame to write in someone logically really powerful only to use them as fodder to establish how powerful someone else is. It's lazy.

It was her way of reactively explaining away what she thought was Naruto's dumb disruptive behavior, in the context of her being annoyed about Naruto still being considered an important subject for her to focus on at a time when she just wanted to get her kiss with Sasuke. She was basically just acting like a relatively sheltered young teen with no real frame of reference or context for understanding Naruto's actions yet, which is normal for kids her age, even when they say ignorant things. The fake confession was a product of Sai guilting her into believing Naruto's suffering was all or mostly her fault, when it wasn't, and Sai's assessment wasn't accurate.

People only think Sakura’s useless because they don’t understand a support role, and want her to be a power house, punching the shit out of everything and everyone all the time like in the gaara rescue arc. I’ll admit she could have been written much better, and in part 1 she was annoying af and absolutely useless. But she came in strong after the timeskip, and by the end of the war arc she had surpassed Tsunade, just like Sasuke and Naruto had already surpassed Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Just because she wasn’t a literal God at the end of the series like Naruto and Sasuke doesn’t mean she’s weak. At the end of the war arc I’d say Sakura easily stomps out just about every other member of the Konoha 12. Also keep in mind that Sakura’s parents weren’t even Shinobi, and she didn’t have any kind of insane power up handed to her. In the war arc take away Kurama, and Sasuke’s rinnesharingan and tell me how they stack up against each other after that😂

[@yuvraj..6741]

Yeah, sage Naruto and EMS sasuke still stomp

[@Acecard-jl2py]

The issue is that Sakura has a personality of an archaic tsundere. The idea is that the tsundere wants the guy that they like to be a better person and mature. However, Sakura’s true love is Sasuke. Their dynamic would never work. Ironically, sasuke’s archetype tends to have a more gentle love internet archetype. A sweet and gentle woman that is there for her man to sooth his sorrows. I find it bizarre that Kishimoto took the idiot hot head jerk with a heart of gold and put him together with a sweet soothing Japanese looking girl while also taking a brooding boy and tsundere as another couple. I believe Kishimoto got his tropes mixed up.

[@opaluni]

Thank you!!! 💜 We see this in K Drama's as well. Sakura was written to fit with Naruto. The entire heaven and earth argument or example from Kakashi fits them. Sakura is the head/heaven/mind, who is a perfectionist, preppy, studious, serious and compassionate, but also can be ruled by her emotions, because she doesn't deal with them. Sakura doesn't follow her heart to the fullest, but what others might think she should do. Or in this case....keeping her feelings for Sasuke; despite being ambivalent about them and never deals with them. Sakura stays focused. Naruto is the heart/emotions/body. He follows his guts, his intuition and learns through experience. Naruto can be charming, explosive, mercurial and capricious. He's adaptable, but is strong in body and more solid. He's not traditionally smart, but hi wisdom is more internal. Together they balance each other out and create a whole. I think the reason why Sasuke and Hinata became popular as a ship is because of the traditional dynamics. Sasuhina fits and often have really compelling stories. Hinata feels raw and real around Sasuke w/o forcing him to be something he's not. She doesn't irritate him past a point and softens gradually around her. This ship is seen as crack, but makes tons more sense once clans, attitudes and politics are taken into consideration. Naruto gets under Sakura's skin and reminds her to live. Often flirting, protecting and tempting her. While Sakura tries to maintain decorum, but has a passion that attracts Naruto, and forces Naruto to mature in ways that eventually trips her up to shift their power dynamic...two people who are an alternative mirror of Minato and Kushina, a culmination of Tsunade and Jiraiya w/o a forced narrative. That's why NaruHina feels lifeless and Hinata's a ghost in her own household with very little sway, but to be outshined by her spouse and codependent. Leaving Naruto a workaholic who trusts Sasuke more than his spouse. Or the sad relationship with Sakura basically being a single mother; while Sasuke does everything in his power to avoid his household.

I have said it once and I'll say it again, i don't genuinely think Sakura is useless by any means. When i call her useless it's not because she has literally no use, it's because of her almost never getting to do anything cool on screen, or having a genuine moment to shine lonver than a panel or a few seconds. Even when she does get a cool fight, like against Sasori, it's then downplayed later showing that he wanted to lose and was holding back. Which makes sense for the character and makes them better, it still makes it less meaningful and cool for Sakura. Then she says really stupid and outrageous shit for next to no reason all the time, which adds onto the frustration. Especially when she's suposed to be a super intelligent character who is very learned. While minor, the acts of violence towards MC does also add a slight bit to the frustration. At least with Hinata, while i understand her contribution is very little, she is implied to do well with her team and a decent bit of her onscreen moments are adorable or meaningul emotionally. This makes me enjoy them far more than i could ever Sakura.

I never understood why Sasori changed his mind in the last moment that he needed to die ... Just why ?? To get a hug from mother and father ? It sounds poetic and sad but makes no sense...

Honestly it’s definitely opinion based but I would rather have Hinata that doesn’t do many things in the story but is a good person. Sakura is useful, sure, but she’s just an awful human being. Mainly her putting all the work on Naruto to bring Sasuke back then trying to Emotionally manipulate Naruto by telling him she loves him so he won’t go after Sasuke anymore. You said at the beginning that Kishimoto can’t write women, which is true, however the problem is what we see of Sakura is she’s emotionally abusive and Hinata just has barely any screen time. Two VERY different reasons for them being “Bad Characters”

[@_unmixed_6865]

Your mad cause she put pressure on naruto and mad cause she tried to take the pressure off of him later? That is contradictory you can’t be mad at someone for doing something then being mad that they fixed the thing you didn’t like. Also people always miss context on this shit, Naruto offered to take on her burden she didn’t force it on him she just encouraged him to achieve the goal he placed on himself. And for the manipulation part it’s stupid she was sacrificing her well being for naruto forcing herself to love naruto back so he could be happy just to find out naruto supposedly never liked her. Also despite being rejected she still put her well-being on the line by trying to kill sasuke so naruto wasn’t forced to.

She made things worse for Naruto by "trying to kill Sasuke" She knew she was levels below Sasuke and still tried to kill him, she knew she had no chance to win and still tried to fight him.

Six doesn't know what love is. To say the chapter of Hinata trying to free Naruto knowing she's no match for Pain makes her look like an idiot indicates he has never been in love before and also doesn't understand how human beings who are in love with someone or who love someone behave. Actual love gives everything. We can't assume everyone who has gone on a suicide mission to protect or save the person they love is an idiot. It just means they genuinely love the other person, and when push comes to shove value their loved one's life more than their own. Similar to when a loving parent sacrifices their life to save their child. Doesn't make them an idiot for doing so. Sakura wasn't called useless or dislikes because she was perceived to have done little to nothing throughout the entirety of the show, but because she was a bitch and genuinely unlikeable person throughout the majority of naruto and then proceeded to be unuseful in so many key moments throughtout the show. Had she not been so detestable as a character for most of the show, she would not be called uselessness etc.

[@sixfromtokyo]

Don't make assumptions about my life because of how I interpret Hinata's stupid actions. I'm well aware love can make you do sacrificial things. They normally are not done only in vain. This example is equivalent to A mom seeing her son about to get run over by an 18 wheeler and instead of running to grab the child she stands in front of the truck to try and stop it. Hinata knows she will not save Naruto she knows she will die and thinks she is only prolonging Naruto's death. & That last part about Sakura I have said before in my Sakura video go watch that.

[@banshotenin1178]

@@sixfromtokyo That'd only be equivalent if Pain would just run off if Hinata (somehow) managed to snatch Naruto or if the truck driver would keep chasing the child after missing their kill. Pain was literally after Naruto. He wasn't going to just let him go (where as the truck driver would leave the child unless he was derranged). Thus Hinata had to at least attempt to defend Naruto. Upon getting close enough to him, she actually tried to set him free. That doesn't seem stupid to me. Even Kakashi as skilled as he was, was no match for Pain. Also Hinata getting in front of Pain to defend Naruto was literally the only way she was able to create the distance required to get close enough to Naruto to try and free him. Has she not done so she wouldn't even get as far as she did. Regardless sitting back and doing nothing wasn't an option for Hinato or Kakashi. Both paid for it (But that's literally part of the will of fire and what we've seen time and time again from shinobi in the show). We as the viewer knew how powerful Pain was, they only had an idea coz they'd never seen him in action like we had. And again, seeing the person u love more than anyone else getting their ass handed to them and doing nothing to help because you know it'll likely result in ur death is a little cowardly. Hinata was literally a ride or die.

[@sixfromtokyo]

@@banshotenin1178 Yea in this case the truck driver is derranged because he won't stop just like Pain didn't stop. The situation is perfectly analogous and I know it's cowardly not to do anything I never said Hinata wasn't brave I said she was stupid I know she's a ride or die I never disagreed with any of that stuff my point was that it was stupid to die and don't compare it to Kakashi. Kakashi had a reason to die. Hinata did it to be selfish like she said. She knew she couldn't win she watched him destroy the village she saw him in action the act was just stupid that's it.

[@banshotenin1178]

@@sixfromtokyo Calling her actions to save the love of her life "stupid" because she knew it was a suicide mission is something I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on. Her selfish action allowed the clarity of thought in that moment to realize that it's better to die for who you love or what you believe in than to spend the rest of your life in misery and regret due to making the "smart" decision of self preservation.

[@banshotenin1178]

As mentioned she acted out of love, everyone else in the village knew that only Naruto could defeat Pain (mostly because of Sage Mode), but Hinata, even aware of that, couldn’t stand watching the man she loved her entire life being pinned down to the ground and probably being killed. She didn’t act because she believed she could be of vital assistance to Naruto in the battle, she acted because she couldn’t live knowing the love of her life died and she didn’t do anything about it, even if it meant her death. If that makes her stupid, then she really echoes Naruto as a character. Somewhere in the show Naruto himself says something along the lines of "If doing what I believe is right makes me stupid/wrong, then I don't want to be a genius/right" (Paraphrasing as it's been about 5 years since I last watched the show.) But thanks for the replies. It was nice to get your thoughts on morality and Hinata's "ninja way" derived from Naruto's. Take care bud.

[@VolticWind]

The thing I don’t like about Hinata was she lacked initiative when it came to her relationship with Naruto. She confesses once and then proceeds to do nothing about it for over 2 years, expecting Naruto to actually take the hint and it’s only after she ends up getting kidnapped by Tonari and Sakura convincing Naruto that he never actually loved her that their relationship goes anywhere. Why not bring it back up immediately after the war and start things off on the right foot?

[@RareDust76753]

Maybe because she doesn't want to force Naruto to love her Maybe because she thought she'd die Maybe because they just won a war where he cousin died and she still needs time to heal Maybe because Naruto understood it as friendship think Remember Hinata said a japanese word that means like/love And you know how stupid Naruto can be You are forgetting that Naruto is not perfect that he has his own issues that he needs to deal with and so is Hinata

Something people forget is the fact that characters have a purpose in a story, and how good they fulfill that purpose denotes how good of a character they are, at least in part. Do you say the random street passer is a bad character because they didn't get good enough character development or screen time? No, because their purpose is to just fill in space to make a scene more lively. Sakura is positioned to us as a main character, thus her character not doing anything is her character failing. Hinata, meanwhile, has basically never showed up in the series except to do literally just that, so her doing _anything_ is more than her character needs to do to fulfil her role. Now, that doesn't mean Hinata is the best character of all time just because she outperformed her role, but it doesn't make her a "bad" character.

Hinata is only praised cause she centers around Naruto. Neji dying just for Hinata to have a moment with Naruto is awful writing. Sure, let's kill the lower branch slave for the main heiress to use him as a wingman. Neji literally died like his father. Hinata literally jumped to die for Naruto again when the spikes were coming.... Kishimoto killed Neji for b.s. Hinata only served as a princess character for the hero have babies with. What's even worse is the fact Naruto had feelings for Sakura for years. Sakura should've been allowed to move on from Sasuke and mature. Allowed detachment from being infatuated with him and have personal realizations. Kishimoto had her confess during the land of iron arc and its taken as a complete lie, but it wasn't. It was a grey confession. Naruto had to made into a hypocrite and put into a genjutsu to even pay attention to Hinata. The last fanfic didn't feel natural. Hinata never even reconfessed. And instead of getting a solid after the war film about Team 7 reconstructing their relationships and the world of Naruto....we get a forced ass romance. One that just soured the fanbase. Hinata's only goal was to be with Naruto and her fans literally fight against the claim tooth and nail. Lol She did nothing for her clan, nothing for Neji nor did Kishimoto ever portray jer struggling as an unwanted heiress, because of her perceived weakness. It's shameful fanfiction does a better job of actually expressing a more nuanced and realistic version of Naruto, then Kishimoto ever could. Boruto feels lackluster, fake and lifeless cause the couples don't fit nor carry the series. There's no real dynamic energy there. It makes more sense Madara won and everyone is sharing one gigantic freaking dream. Also, you forgot to mention Sakura pumped Naruto's heart, gave him CPR and shared that moment with him regarding his dreams. That felt more impactful and authentic than Hinata rubbing Naruto's face. Cause why would Naruto break down after losing Jiraiya, hundreds...if not thousands of ninja being killed and the stake of the world is in balance due to one of ideological differences and him facing a dark reality. When his whole entire life is a dark reality and the world they live in is unforgiving, but there are still aspects of light.

[@miteihiro3283]

I’ve been saying it for years: Sakura overall is better written than Hinata. What does Hinata actual accomplish? Nearly getting herself killed multiple times to impress Naruto? Yeah Sakura isn’t a perfect 10/10, she doesn’t do much for most of Shippudden, but SHE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO. Sakura may be physically powerful, but she’s also a medical ninja. She’s not supposed to fight unless she’s the only one left, and that’s coming from TSUNADE. The only time a medical ninja is allowed to fight on the front lines, is when they’ve completed the Byakuyo seal. And what’s the first thing Sakura does after accomplishing that? SHE NUKES THE BATTLEFIELD WITH MINIMAL EFFORT. Hinata kept Naruto’s spirit in the fight, but Sakura kept his spirit in his literal body. This mad-lass cut him open, and manually pumped his heart and used mouth-to-mouth to keep air in his lungs. And if we wanna get into who’s a better fighter, tell me, how many wins does Hinata have? Personally, I can’t think of any. She lost to Neji, didn’t fight ANYONE again until Pain, which she got bodied their too. Then who does she fight one on one after that? NOBODY? If you ask me, Hinata should have fought Kidomaru in the Sasuke Retrieval arc, or at least shown up part way through to help. At least then she could have proven her worth and redeemed herself. Especially since Neji already had his arc and finished it in the Chunin Exams. I’m sorry man, I just personally can’t stand Hinata. She’s WAY too overrated. Hell, TENTEN accomplished more than she did. At least she WON a fight. Against herself, but Jesus Hinata probably would have lost that too! INO does more than Hinata. She tied with Sakura in the Chunin Exams, jumped in with her team to save Sakura from Team Dosu in the Forest of Death, helped in the fight with Hidan and Kakuzu, and was instrumental in fighting off Obito and Madara until the ASF HQ got blown up by the Ten Tails, helping her dad and Shikaku coordinate the ASF. Best Girl Tsunade speaks for herself. Shizune doesn’t really do much, but she did hold her own against Kabuto, who at the time was comparable to Kakashi, a high level Jonin that even other Kage highly respected. Honestly as I’m typing this, I’m just convincing myself more and more that Hinata is more Plot Device than she is a character. I’m done ranting now lol

Imagine a clan that was renowned for their sealing jutsu and being stated to be directly similar to the her son, the protagonist, and all you can think of is a moveset about her cooking and beating the crap out of people with kitchen tools

[@jaredgreathouse3672]

I think that's my main issue with Shippuden. Shippuden is meant to be Naruto, for grown ups or older teens. Yet, the main cast very rarely takes lives of other shinobi (aside from the Akatsuki). Shippuden, despite its powerups, doesn't feel like as mature or complex of a story. Moral questions (like domestic abuse) aren't investigated. The morality of the hidden Leaf and broader ninja system isn't interrogated again until much too late in the story (mainly with Pain and Itachi's backgrounds). I know Naruto isn't a Seinin, but if you WANNA introduce romance, have that shit look messy and ugly as it can be in real life, introduce plot twists. This is why i say Dygo's rewrite is so awesome. It feels like Naruto, for grownups. Had a little more maturity been introduced, it would be so much better.

[@justinarzola4584]

The closest Shippuden gets to those adult themes is some of the political stuff with danzo and the leaf but that's not even explored as much as it should have and was left for the anime to fill the holes.

Hinata was meant to be a innocent character I felt from the beginning

[@FoosBushra]

It’s not fair that you didn’t talk about her family dynamic though for me why I like her is because of her strong will of overcoming the hatred and the way her father raised her and the fact that she was literally suicidal running away from her house all the time and that her father was literally abusive to her.

[@Jate7]

A character being tragic doesn’t make them a good character. Doesn’t save her from being Mid. This issue is literally inconsequential come Shippuden.

[@aut0mat1c11]

Abusive? Hiashi ain't abusive, he's literally a clan head who's got his hands tied all the time for providing for his extended family, as his job as clan head, he trains his chosen heir in which Hinata is a disappointment, she lacks the qualities of a leader, spineless and soft, nice and sweat, those aren't what you look for in a leader of a trained shinobi family.

[@FoosBushra]

@@aut0mat1c11 It doesn’t matter if you think he wasn’t abusive but the facts show that he was mentally abusive to her and calling her a loser at a young age will just lost her parent he put so much pressure on her and discarded her and threw her away she was very lonely as a child.

[@troy6646]

​@aut0mat1c11 last time I checked, saying all those things to ur kid, neglecting them and showing them no real love or care was a form if abuse, regardless of whatever the reason is

[@FoosBushra]

@@Jate7 do you know how many characters in the show have tragic backstory and that is what drives them yes I think they should have done more with her character but she shows us how hard she worked trained herself even though she was timid and not very strong not every character has to do something great to be a good character in the first awkward she appeared her goal was to be happy and to get stronger not the strongest but strong that she can stand up for the people she loves had a character growth from when we first met her she is not the main character so obviously they did little to nothing to show us more but what we have seen gives us enough reason to think her backstory and her growth is enough.

[@billiondavid]

Tsunade next. Best female character. Great video btw.

[@GrayRain0]

Hinata just needed more time. Just a few more filler or actual moments of them on their own. Like easily they could’ve given her moments during a few training arcs. Bringing medicine. Admiring how hard Naruto is working. Talking with him about ninjutsu. Anything beyond the collective 40 words between the two of them throughout the entirety of the series. Kishimoto can’t write female characters lmao. They never get time to breathe while fucking Mifune gets a flashback arc with him and Hanzo. Hinata has issues, but they’d easily be fixed if she ever got screen time. But can’t turn back the hands of time.

[@subratanandy2142]

Hinata was given a HUGE number of fillers, all of Sakura's supportive and sweet moments in manga were given to Hinata in the anime ..yet it did nothing for her development... That's how terribly she was written . The message Hinata gives : keep stalking and obsessing over the underdog , so that when he becomes a hot-shot , you can be his housewife ....even if he completely disregards your confession when you practically went to die for him .

[@oilalalabla9211]

Something that i think may have caused this much hinata love just like the anime pain fight version is the og naruto fillers! They do so much for her character, people had alredy grown attached to hinata before shipuden and that helped, i mean she did have potential🤷.

[@ericLpereira1989]

The video has good points, but it kinda of seems to consider the opinions of a "good" or "usefull" character as too much of a fact. I invite all to consider that whenever a character is leading to good scenes that enrich the story, it can be interpretable as a kind of narrative usefullness, even if the character is not achieving much in terms of usefullness to the people arround them. People like me for example, don't really care how much power a character displays, both in combat prowess or other ways to make a difference, but more on their personality and decisions. Take Lee for example, normally considered a good character by most. He didn't win against the sound genins, nor Gaara, nor Kimimaru. All his sacrifice when fighting against Gaara had "no use" as well, yet I think almost all would agree it was his best moment(like me), and many might agree it was among the best in the show(same). So for people like me, Hinata can be a good character even having a low "usefullness" in the story. While Sakura can be a bad one even if she was even more usefull than Hinata that she already was. Simply because of how annoying and poorly written she can be (her agressiviness towards Naruto and others, her ocasional dumbness, hipocrisy and lack of resolve, her terrible relation with Sasuke,...).

[@austinwoolfe7417]

I just had a whole lesson on logical fallacies in my critical thinking class, funny how the world works.

[@KyngD469]

The reason videos like this exist for Naruto and not jjk or Bleach or One Piece. Is because Naruto has good ideas and terrible execution. It was fortunate enough to pop off and get the 2nd most popular spot next to One Piece. But it doesnt deserve it. It has terrible female characters. Too much talking. Too much ass pull power ups. Went on for way too long. Full of cool stuff with no reasoning. Remember the susano tailed fox mode with multiple rasengans? That was really cool but it has no weight. Its just a cool looking blast. Like 99% of the war arc power ups.

Side characters should get the chance to shine. Otherwise, why the hell did you introduce them? It's not a hard concept to understand. The world is far bigger than the main character. Yes we're mostly seeing things from their pov but a main character can only shine their best with a stellar side cast. It's one of Naruto's biggest weaknesses. I personally think Naruto has the worst side cast of the big 3

Thank you for also bringing up the abusive aspect of Sakura's character. In OG Naruto, she has a borderline obsessive, toxic view of her. And in part 2, Sasuke has a destructive and abusive relationship with her, hurting her and trying to kill her MANY times, and the idea that they end up together in the end is super disgusting. That shit isn't cool in real life, and the idea that we should just have Sakura accept this is HORRIBLE writing

[@gameuniverse5973]

I mean Sakura did straight up try to kill him so he was just defending himself

[@jaredgreathouse3672]

Sasuke tried to kill her multiple times. He also straight up (in his defense) told her that he never returned her feelings, and he's not obligated to like her. So, it's a more toxic relationship, but Sasuke is at fault for trying to kill her many times and she's at fault for tolerating it

[@DiabloTheDark18]

Don’t forget her emotionally manipulating Naruto by telling him she loves him so he could stop going after Sasuke

There's nothing absuive about Sakura. Y'all just dumb. When as Sasuke ever tried to hurt Sakura while they're together? They were enemies the times they BOTH tried to kill each other. Naruto still wanna ride Sasuke's dick even though Sasuke tried to kill him and emotional abuses Hinata everytime he lies and send a clone home instead going there himself
