Why Hinata Is The Worst Female Character In Naruto

Hate to break it to you, but the answer is, it's gone to the dogs

[@Suto_Ko]

yep, in the anime, Hinata was trying to earn her father's approval. She wanted to prove to him that she could be a strong ninja and that she was worthy of being the heir to the Hyuga clan. Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga, was a very strict and demanding man. He wanted Hinata to be the perfect ninja, and he was not easily pleased. As a result, Hinata often felt like she was never good enough. However, Hinata never gave up. She continued to train hard and to improve her skills. She also continued to try to earn her father's approval. Eventually, Hinata's hard work paid off. She became a skilled ninja, and she earned her father's respect. In the end, Hinata became the head of the Hyuga clan, and she led the clan into a new era of peace and prosperity. It's unclear what happened to Hinata's desire to earn her father's approval in the manga. However, it is possible that she simply grew out of it. As she got older and more mature, she realized that she didn't need her father's approval to be happy. She was a strong and independent woman, and she was proud of who she was. It is also possible that Hinata's desire to earn her father's approval was simply not as important to her in the manga. In the manga, Hinata was more focused on helping Naruto and on protecting her friends and family. She didn't have as much time or energy to worry about what her father thought of her. Whatever the reason, it is clear that Hinata is a complex and well-developed character. She is a strong and independent woman who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She is also a loving and caring friend and family member.

He wrote Kushina and her relationship with Minato way better The one shot made me cry Where was that for your main character Kishi?

[@TrafalgarWaterDLaw-dl5cm]

I think it just works much better because of Minato and Kushinas personalities. Minato is an introverted quiet genius and Kushina is an extroverted passionate hot head. It's watching two individuals positively influence each other to bring out the best. And grow from childhood affection into a perfect family and marridge. If they didn't die they'd propably be the best parents in the show feat. Grandpa Jiraya and uncle Kakashi who booth had close ties to Minato and Kushina. Naruto is a hot headed idiot who even in Shippuden has no clue of love. He is more obsessed with Sasuke then anyone else wich would make you question if their kiss was more then comedy.. Hinata just... exsists as timid shy love interest obsessed with him since day 1. Zero buildup or actual growth. We even saw how Kushina and Minato needed alot of time and buildup to even really grow close. Hinata swooning over Naruto just eisting felt extremely unnatural.

Sakura did ALL of that only because she thought of him as a friend but he was so starved for affection that he took in all of that as his chance at getting the romantic affection ( which would've worked if the author developed on that ) . He simply couldn't get why this girl who doesn't really talk to him would love him and stalk him and come to save him when her teammates needed being saved more . He didn't even acknowledge Hinata because he didn't care about her , at all . That should've been the end of Hinata's affections .

[@raymondbermudez555]

Sakura Haruno was a supporting character placed into a main character role. Hinata Hyuga is a side character from the very beginning. Sakura got her handful of moments because Kishimoto had to give it to her since she was the main female character. He didn't need to give Hinata anything but establish her as Naruto's future passive wife. Girls are not treated well in this franchise.

[@TrafalgarWaterDLaw-dl5cm]

Yep. The most interesting one Tsunade just serves as Sakuras teacher who becomes an exsact copy just..better for no reason? Tsunade as s direct descendant of Hashirama himself is born with a Senju body and giant life force and chakra pool. Her grandmother was a Uzumaki of the leading family who provides even more chakra and life force. The Hatunos are just a random family. But somehow Tsunade has none of that ever really acknowledged. And Sakura surpasses her despite having neither of this. As every Uchiha we meet in the story ALWAYS has that eyes and potential of the clan. Even Sarada as half Uchiha isnt limited with a tainted Sharingan or anything. But apparantly Kishi forgot about their counterpart the Senju who got Hagoromos demi god bodies and chakra.

[@t-masterrules5085]

Lol, I'd be more specific and say anyone without ties to the Uchiha or senju isn't treated well. Naruto Shippuden should be dubbed Naruto Uchiha to be honest. They completely forgot all the side characters , lee, tenten, neji, shino, temari, kankarou ,kurenai, Asuma, to name a few

My issue with Hinata is that in Boruto, she’s NARUTOS WIFE and THEN Boruto and Himawaris mom. She doesn’t have a life outside of that besides tagging along with Ino and Sakura sometimes. What about Kurenai? Wasn’t she the closest thing Hinata had to a parent for a while? Why is she not even involved in the life of her senseis kid? Shikamaru was. What about Shino and Kiba? Sure, they are busy, but because SHE isn’t, she should be able to make some plans with them. Sakura runs a children’s mental health clinic, is a medic, still trains herself and Sarada, and still manages to find time to hang out with Ino. Ino helps out with the mental health clinic, is also still a medic, took over from her father, trains her son, and still finds time to hang out. Hinata doesn’t even train her own kids it seems, Hanabi seemed to take over that aspect

[@drfarhanasultana2867]

Well Hinata is the only mother to train her children. Sakura training Sarada is filler. Sakura isn't an active ninja anymore and hasn't been going on misson for 10+years and her fight with shin was much shorter and she isn't as fast as sp potrayed her to be in the anime but hinata was seen going on a mission with her father in the parent and child day novel and she had a fight with hanabi her sister who is an active jonin and trains everyday and she one shotted her. and Sakura and Ino are best friends they went out on vacations and went on cafe and other places with each other so clearly sakura has free time + Hinata has 2 children where everybody else has one and boruto at first was a brat but later developed into the most mature kid of the series and himawari is the most well behaved kid in the verse and hinata spends almost all of time with her. Sarada often spends time alone and had suspensions that sakura wasn't her mother and ran away from her home to comfirm that she also said bad things to her mother and inojin is the rudest new gen character and he definitely isn't as good as boruto or himawari. So Hinata is the best mother she still goes on missions and hangs out with her friends and family and she worked with orochimaru in naruto retsuden

[@Eucalyptus-g5n]

Hehe good jokes there are hinata training her kids ? Then why there is no scenes of it Hinata going on missions ? I think she's still chunin and gave up on shjnobi after marrying and having kids Best mom ? May be still boruto acted shitty. Boruto set right because he saw naruros true strength and thoughts Sarada hates sakura ? Nah she said mean things because of angry on sasuke not on her mom Sakura ino have free time more than hinata ? Nope I never saw hinata doing another work except cooking cleaning kids and staying home Sakura is head of konoha medical department she's the director of many hospitals she takes care of sarada Sakura opened many child health care hospitals she also trains herself is the best medic in the world still hangouts with ino and maintains good relationship with her teammates and friends one eg is sarada knows who shizune is and she knows many people related to her mom and then there is himawari who doesn't even know Kiba who is her mother's teammate I really question does hinata have a life outside naruto and her kids and that four walled house Sakura has a life outside rather than just staying with sasuke and having sarada she's an amazing Kate level shinobi And I think sasusaku couple has maturity and understanding and teamwork among them we can it when fight with shin uchiha Sakura and sasuke didn't meet for almost 7 to 8 years but still had teamwork and understanding its like sasuke saying my wife's not weak and sakura telling aarada that smth like this is not enough to defeat her papa and even though they don't spend much time together uchiha family actually understands each other so well like sasuke being concerned about how to be with sarada and asking Sakura and Sakura gives him advices about it all naruto did was to feel bad that he can't spend time with boruto and himawari and then hinata is like don't worry they understand like a 34 year old should understand or a 12 years old should ? I feel hinata kept naruto before her kids always even after mom's momoshiki defeat and all people comes back she first hugged naruto and then boruto its like she worries about naruto more than boruto and at same scene Sakura and sarada together hug sasuke as a family that looked more warm and sakura always put sarada before sasuke because its obvious sasuke is stronger and won't get easily defeated and sarada is just a kid she need more attention even they were not together uchiha family has great chemistry among them and naruto family in the starting was always dumb bonding like for hinata whatever naruto does is right even ignoring his kids for work she should have taught boruto more than hating his fathed

And it is never mentioned that sakura owns (multiple) hospital and tell me when is sakura mentioned as head of medical department in canon material?

And she hugged boruto way tightly than naruto. Naruto also called hinata strong multiple times such as "hinata is very strong,no one in the village would dare mess with her" in the last or "your mother is really strong when she is angry"and you don't know this kid,but being a homemaker is a exausting job and just because they stay home doesn't mean they are not busy. and you know that hinata cared for kawaki a lot and kawaki talked about killing boruto and hinata slapped the hell out of him is proof she is a good mom. and sakura NEVER DID ANYTHING SHINOBI RELEATED IN BORUTO.

I actually really respect you for having the balls to say this. Hinata is very beloved, so it’s quite unpopular to criticise her in the fandom. She’s a shy, moe, submissive girl, and I know that people love those ‘waifu’ type characters, and her endless support and love of Naruto is endearing to a lot of fans. It’s understandable why people like her, but she has so many unacknowledged writing flaws of hers that I’m glad you brought to light. I get some people hate Sakura and love Hinata, but the double standard you see in the fandom is crazy. People say Sakura’s character revolves solely around her love interest when Hinata is clearly a more accurate example of this. People praise Hinata endlessly for standing up against Pain, an enemy far stronger than her, to protect the man she loves whilst Sakura already did the same thing against Gaara in part 1 which goes pretty much unacknowledged. Sakura has far more feats and accomplishments than Hinata, yet it’s Sakura that’s called useless. It’s true that Sakura is a main character whilst Hinata is a side character, so it makes sense for Sakura to have more, but when Hinata does show up… she barely does anything. In The Last movie, the movie where she’s suppose to be the heroine, Sakura somehow manages to do just as much as her. Hinata has the role of damsel the whole time.

They definitely weren’t planned.

[@Suto_Ko]

I agree that the anime did a much better job of developing Hinata's character than the manga did. In the anime, Hinata is a competent and likable character who is always trying to improve herself. She is also shown to have a strong bond with Naruto, which makes their relationship more believable and believable. In the manga, on the other hand, Hinata is a much more underdeveloped character. She is often shy and timid, and she doesn't have much to say. She is also not shown to be as competent as she is in the anime. As a result, it is more difficult to understand why Naruto would be attracted to her. I think that the anime's portrayal of Hinata is much more realistic and believable. It is also more consistent with the overall tone of the Naruto story. After all, Naruto is a story about overcoming adversity and achieving your dreams. Hinata's journey from shy and timid girl to competent and confident ninja is a perfect example of this theme. I think that the anime did a great job of developing Hinata's character, and it is one of the reasons why she is so popular with fans.

The only reason why Naruto ended up with Hinata is because of her popularity nothing more... it happened at the last minute 2 years after war in a movie or technically in a FILLER using a 5min gentjutsu forced and artificial like that just for FANSERVICE. And why would Sasuke love Sakura back ? He tried to kill her 2 times mistreated her in the middle of a war put her under a gentjutsu and literally said that he has no reason to love her or to be loved by her so why all of a sudden would he develop feelings for her ? she wasn't even by his side after he left Konoha for 3 years nor in Shippuden and even before he left the village Sasuke clearly considered her as a team-mate so why would he develop feelings for her after nothing was between them ? she's like a stranger to him.

[@maravreloaded]

The reason why NaruHina or SasuSaku or any CANON ship is that they never would work following basic human interaction. The reason why those couples exist is because Kishimoto thinks that _"girls who leave their childhood crushes are terrible people."_ Yeah. That's the level of the mindset.

I’d like to see a video on why Sakura actually tells the original “Naruto” story better than anyone, hear me out: Sakuras parents actually have no shits about her. They weren’t great ninja, and their generation and the ones before we all constantly at war / dying. ( imagine, sending you’re daughter out for training, when there are demi-gods, and you know that you need at the very least a strong bloodline just to survive). She has no real talent. Yes, she studied very well but that’s it. Later - we figured out that Naruto want just talented but he was god tier, but his chakra was just funky due to the seal, and he had an ungodly amount. And even despite this insane nerf, he was able to learn shadow clone - a super special move in a single freaking night. Sakura was always miles behind Naruto & Sasuke, yet she did he best not to not drag them down. Not only did she became an insane healer which was ungodly difficult, she also proved she could keep up with top tier characters. ( not win, but survive and/or assist. That is INSANE. Because she has no eye hax, she had no dumb chakra beast, she has no kekegenkai, she never even got a single compliment on her chakra reserves, or physical strength until post time skip, fighting kakashi) The story started out about Naruto; this lonely guy with no family/friends/talent. But the fact is, his parents were there the entire fine, the entire lead village was watching him, he was insanely talented. Sakura is hated by the fan base, she is ignored by her own village. But she never strayed. She is the true MC.

[@justinarzola4584]

[@Suto_Ko]

yep, It's true that Naruto was never really interested in Hinata romantically until after the Pain arc. He had always seen her as a friend and teammate, but he never really thought of her in that way until she confessed her feelings to him and risked her life to save him. I think it's important to remember that Naruto was still a very young and immature boy at the time. He was also very focused on his goal of becoming Hokage and protecting the village. He didn't have a lot of time or energy to think about romantic relationships. But when Hinata saved him from Pain, it showed him how much she cared about him. It also made him realize that he had been taking her for granted. After that, he started to see her in a new light, and he eventually fell in love with her. So, it's not surprising that you might have forgotten that Hinata liked Naruto when she saved him from Pain. After all, Naruto hadn't really shown any interest in her up to that point. But it's a really important moment in their relationship, and it's one of the things that helped Naruto to realize that Hinata was the one for him.

[@banshotenin1178]

Even in the real world, the amount of women who are interested in men who don't give 2 sh!ts about them is astounding. Women love mystery and not knowing where they stand with a man, that's why they love romances, dramas and reality TV. It feeds their emotions. That's something a woman will rarely admit or even understand about herself, but actions speak louder than words. And when a said man reciprocates that interest in her, a certain percentage of her attraction to him drops because it validates her knowing that she is "worthy of attaining him". So both Hinata and Sakura's obsession with Naruto & Sasuke respectively (who both chose to pursue their own goals over the love interest of the people who wanted them) makes 100% in the real world. Women are attracted to men who are driven to prioritize their own dreams and pursue them. Once the man makes the woman the focus...she starts to lose respect and attraction over time. Simple fact of life because it's biology

[@dev-xb2dw]

@@Suto_Ko In my opinion, Naruto wears his heart on his sleeve, if he thinks someone is cute or if he is attracted to someone he makes it clear. The instant he sees Haku, he blushes, comparing Sakura's prettiness to Haku's, Naruto is an open book when he likes someone, and is attracted to someone. And also Naruto does think about romantic relationships and dating quite frequently, from Chapter 3 in fact, the love triangle is included and becomes a prevelent part of Team 7's dynamic. Even in shippuden, Naruto tells Sai that he don't feel as if he can confess to Sakura as he hasn't bought Sasuke back. To be honest, I really don't think Hinata's sacrifice is anything too memorable for Naruto. I mean shippuden is littered with mountains of flashbacks to Naruto's most important people and important moments. I think I've seen the scene where Naruto shakes Gaara's hand at least 5 times. Even in the scenes where Naruto remembers his most important people its always team 7, Jiraiya, Iruka, Tsunade, etc, front and centre, while Hinata is shown in the back next to Shino and Kiba.

[@Suto_Ko]

I agree with you that Naruto is an open book when it comes to his feelings. He's not afraid to show his attraction to someone, and he's always been interested in romantic relationships. I also agree with you that Hinata's sacrifice isn't as memorable for Naruto as some of the other sacrifices that have been made throughout the series. He's seen so many of his loved ones sacrifice themselves for him, that it's hard for any one sacrifice to stand out. However, I do think that Hinata's sacrifice had a significant impact on Naruto. It was the first time that someone had sacrificed themselves for him without asking anything in return. It showed him that he was loved and appreciated, and it gave him the strength to continue fighting. I also think that Hinata's sacrifice is important because it represents the power of love. Love is what motivates Naruto to do the things he does, and it's what gives him the strength to overcome any obstacle. And, whether or not Hinata's sacrifice is memorable for Naruto is up to the individual viewer. Some people may find it to be a very important moment in the series, while others may not think it's as significant. But there's no doubt that Hinata's sacrifice was a selfless act of love, and it had a positive impact on Naruto.@@dev-xb2dw

For all the Hinata simps who are Sakura haters calling her a useless fangirl… they tend to forget that Hinata is also a fangirl of Naruto. And if they deny it, then they have double standards, and thus act with hypocrisy. As a Sakura fan, I acknowledge that Sakura is a fangirl, but I also acknowledge and accept that she did more than that, especially after being on a team with Naruto… someone she professed she hated. Those 12 year old word choices no longer held true as Sakura spent time with Naruto. Hinata… didn’t get any development that actually stayed. Hinata got rare moments in Anime Filler, but they never carried over to the next canonical episode. If after Naruto settled things with Nagato, HINATA was the one who stood in front of the Villagers and welcomed Naruto home, with a hug and a smile, then MAYBE Naruto and Hinata being together would have weight. You can’t decide an endgame pairing but never give it natural continuous development. Hinata only had a small handful of individual moments that don’t really connect outside of a timeline, and certainly never built upon each other. Hell, the flashback scene in The Last directly contradicts the timeline, plus Hinata really doesn’t try to free herself, doesn’t try to get Hanabi’s eyes back. For all that the Hinata simps praise Hinata, it’s gotten to the level of praising participation by giving full marks with honors. Don’t bash Sakura for actually improving herself if Hinata doesn’t nearly get a fraction of those same developments with the amount of praise you give her. Just saying.

Even in the war arc bro, they made her so useless, and again a lovesick puppy for Naruto. In The Last Naruto Movie they did the same thing.. again. Making Hinata a damsel in distress like always. It’s like they took what made her special, and like it or not Hinata’s writing actually gets worse throughout the show. Especially in The Last Naruto Movie. They made her so weak and fragile. She had no character development throughout the years, and just became a housewife for Naruto. Something she was destined from the beginning.

I agree lol that the anime community has become more focused on physical appearance and action sequences in recent years. This is likely due to the increasing popularity of shounen anime, which are typically action-packed and feature male protagonists with superhuman abilities. However, I believe that there is still a place for character development and complex female characters in anime. There are many shounen anime that feature well-developed female characters, such as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hunter x Hunter, and Attack on Titan. There are also many seinen and shoujo anime that focus on character development and complex female characters, such as Violet Evergarden, Fruits Basket, and Your Lie in April. I think that the anime community is still capable of appreciating character development and complex female characters. It is just that the most popular anime tend to be shounen anime, which are typically more focused on action and fanservice. I hope that the anime community will become more diverse in the future, and that there will be more opportunities for character development and complex female characters in all genres of anime.

I have seen so many people argue about how Hinata is great only to end it with " Big tiddy submissive waifu" ... It reduces her already badly written character. But in the manga art , Sakura isn't even flat , Hinata isn't an F cup as well ( although more curved ) .

[@hratchmarashian2849]

It was a nice video. I mostly agree with what this guy said. The only thing (or rather, the major thing) I didn't like was 2:55 when this guy said "yes. Naruto & Hinata were always endgame. Ever since Hinata was introduced, she's had a crush on Naruto. It was obvious Kishimoto was planning for that from the beginning." I really hate when ppl keep saying he planned this pairing from the beginning. It's easy in hindsight when all is said and done to say "he planned it from the beginning. NO HE DIDN'T! Every time Kishi was asked when he planned NH, he always gave a different answer. In one interview he said he planned them from the beginning, in another interview he said he planned it somewhere in the middle, and in another interview he said he planned it toward the end. Which is it Kishi, beginning, middle, or end? This is the same guy who said he made Madara too powerful and he didn't know how to beat him. Naruto's kids don't have a Byakugan, and they have whiskers. They SHOULDN'T HAVE WHISKERS! Naruto has whiskers b/c Kurama's chakra mixed w/ Naruto's in Kushina's womb... so unless Naruto himself gave birth to them, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE WHISKERS! Why don't those kids have the byakugan? It's not like the Sharingan, you're born with it, you don't awaken it later. As for the next part... "Ever since Hinata was introduced, she's had a crush on Naruto" I'm really sick of ppl saying Hinata having a crush is good enough for development. Apparently what this manga is trying to teach is if a woman has feelings for someone then it's set in concrete. What about the mans feelings? Apparently we men get no say in the matter; no say in how we feel at all. We should just be subservient to the woman's feelings. So if a woman has feelings for me (a man) in real life, I get no say in the matter? On a side note, I think this mentality comes from ppl thinking men are just horn dogs who don't care where they stick they're dicks. So if a woman has feelings for a man, the man has no say, like he's a prisoner, and has no say in the matter. As a man I'm offended. NH fans think Hinata having feelings for Naruto means he has to reciprocate said feelings like he owes her. NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING. IF SOMEONE HAS ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR ANOTHER PERSON, SAID PERSON ISN'T OBLIGATED TO RETURN THOSE FEELINGS! 3:11 "It's not developed at all in the Naruto series" yeah no kidding. Let's assume for a minute Kishi really did plan this pairing from the beginning... I'm sorry Kishi YOU SUCK AS A WRITER! If you can't be bothered to develop the (supposed) "main pairing" of your series, then you shouldn't write. I know that sounds harsh, but It's the truth. Kishi's excuse was "I'm bad at writing romance"... well sorry but you gotta learn! NH wasn't planned from the beginning, I'll even go so far as to say it wasn't planned at all (but that's a different conversation all together, one that I really don't want to get into b/c it's late and this comment is already pretty long). The only thing I believe Kishi planned (albeit very poorly) was the Naruto & Sasuke fight at the Final Valley (the final one at the end of the manga). Alright this post has already gotten very long. I'll just leave it with this final thing. My rule for analyzing an anime is this: If it didn't happen in the manga, I don't care. If Studio Pierrot wrote it I especially don't care. As for Hinata fighting Pain, might've been a cool fight in the anime, but didn't happen in the manga (b/c it was done by a studio that had a hard on for Hinata). Hinata said I love you to Naruto and he still ignored her after that. You would think if it was all planned from the beginning then Naruto would've talked to her afterwards. The fact that they weren't developed at all (poorly at best) tells me Kishi didn't plan any of this or he REALLY SUCKS AS A WRITER. I tend to lean to the former (and even the latter in some arguments). I've ranted long enough. I'll leave it at this (I know i've said that a few times lol, this time I mean it). NH was not planned from the beginning, if it was Kishi would've developed it properly. There's a lot more I could say, and I've only scratched the surface. So many things I could add on to this, but then I'd need a blog lol. If you've managed to read to the end, hey thanks! More power to ya. Peace!

I feel like Hinata's reason for liking Naruto was pretty clear. She saw him as someone with the confidence, social boldness and willpower that she felt she lacked. He was thought of as someone who couldn't accomplish anything and never stopped defying that, she felt similarly, being in her sister's shadow. I think this is shown in the Chunin exams but not all that much later.

[@afrikasmith1049]

I think Kishimoto wasn't in a relationship with anyone and wasn't good at drawing experience from the real world as a result, but I could be wrong and ........ 1: He could talk to his parents or friends about their experience assuming it's appropriate in Japanese culture. 2: He could read other books and consume other media with well written female characters.

[@lnsflare1]

I would argue that Sakura is probably the best written character in the series. This isn't that much of a compliment.

[@captain_buggles]

As much as I like Hinata and Naruhina, I flat out admit that 90% of it comes down to liking the more fleshed out version of Hinata in my head, relating to her because of her social anxiety, and wanting Hinata to get what she wants. Its why I feel like people who just jump straight to making her not shy anymore when they "fix" her kind of miss the point. If social anxiety was something you could just choose to suddenly get over, it wouldn't be such an issue in the first place. In my experience, I don't think I'm ever going to "cure" it, technically, and I don't say that out of low self-esteem. It's just how it is. The anxiety only ever becomes less debilitating, so that you still feel it, but you can at least do things anyway.

[@Normandy1998]

Honestly since i got back into the Naruto, did realise while sakura is called useless, she's not the worse as honestly hinata in Shippuden i remember like 3 scenes with her

[@banshotenin1178]

Sakura is only called useless because in dangourous situations (compared to Naruto & Sasuke who are literally the main characters, are reincarnations of hagoromo's sons & come from ninja family backgrounds), she's often ineffective and/or stands in the corner calling for Sasuke or Naruto and barely gets a moment to truly show her own growth (unaided by other's like Granny Chiyo etc) But the biggest reason she's called useless is due to the hate she's generated especially in Shipuuden by being a complete insenitive b*tch to the protagonist. If Hinata was a b*tch she'd be pretty hated too. But instead she's essentially the opposite of Sakura, humble & kind due to her timid nature. So despite being a bit poorly written and under utilized, she's is still a far more likeable character than Sakura as you can actually still root for Hinata in Shipuuden. Also because most of the Naruto fandom is male demographic is makes sense why Hinata is liked over Sakura. Men generally don't like @$$holes and/or b*+ches. Women often do, but me not so much.

Kishi seems so utterly incapable of writing women as human beings rather than copy pasted cheerleaders for the male character it‘s so odd man! Like, he can clearly write characters well but as soon as one of them is female his brain just breaks.

Neji didn't need to die for this, they just wasted a really good potential character in Hinata.

[@Unrealizedthoughts0]

Truth be told, Almost every character fell off near the war arc. Hinata never reconciled with her father, Neji died for no reason, Rock Lee hasn't done ANYTHING since he was 13, Anko did nothing, the Jonins in the Chunin exams did nothing. I think IMO Hinata SHOULD'VE been asked by Naruto to come with him when he was getting KCM1. I think we're at a point where people hate Naruto in general now. PS: Kishimoto just doesn't follow up with characters well enough (He can write female characters, he just has a problem with the characters in general).

[@lapplandkun9273]

I got this from a Tumblr post that sums up my thoughts well. If you are of fragile constitution, or in other words, a hinata wanker, don't read this then: ”HINATA IS STRONG AND THE BEST KUNOICHI” Hinata is generally really bad as a shinobi and I’m not sure where the claims that she is strong come from. Hinata’s entire character revolves around her being weak. This could have been fine if she actually developed, or if she found some other area for herself, yet she’s mediocre at best and a waste of panels at worst, because she never becomes good or strong at anything. She’s not only physically weak from start to finish, but she’s also the equivalent of a damsel in distress. Everytime Hinata attempts to do something, she ends up failing, getting beaten up and having to be saved. She lost to her sister who is five years younger than her, which is what marked her as a failure in her clan. She tried to fight Neji in the chunin exams and ended up coughing up blood and losing her consciousness, and Naruto had to beat Neji for her. After Kabuto heals her fully, she spends the rest of part 1 either sleeping or missing in action. Very underwhelming. If this had been only the beginning, it would have maybe been fine, but it’s a reoccuring pattern with her character. She throws herself in front of Pain, managing to do nothing but get one-paneled and almost killed. Even at the start of the war she had to be saved by Naruto. She tried to run to Naruto and tripped over a rock. Actually, she’s so weak she got Neji killed, when he had to jump in front of her so she wouldn’t get impaled. Why is she even in the front lines when she can’t fight? Even in Naruto the Last movie she had to be saved multiple times. In Boruto the movie she is still useless and reckless, leaving her daughter’s side to help Naruto, ending up defeated and having to be healed by Sakura once again. I can’t say she’s mentally strong either. She has the personality of someone who hates conflict and tries to avoid it as best as they can, to the point of agreeing with others on everything, as Neji pointed out. Even without him saying it out loud, most of Hinata’s moments that aren’t her thinking about Naruto are her doing exactly this. This is not the personality of someone who is strong mentally. It’s the personality of someone who is too weak to have their own mind, someone who will go with the flow and is easily led and convinced. It can be dangerous the more you think about it. Hinata is also the bystander who never stands up for Naruto despite liking and admiring him. If she’s a compassionate girl, why isn’t she showing this by reaching out to Naruto and befriending him? Why doesn’t she show he’s not alone? Why is she only drawing inspiration from him? I don’t normally watch fillers, but there was one filler scene unrelated to Hinata where this girl says if you only look at the loser and do nothing, you aren’t much better than the oppressors, which probably wasn’t meant to be a call out for Hinata, but ended up being so anyway. Another thing that’s annoying is how she is berating herself often, yet doing nothing, it comes off as self-pity. Even in the Last movie, she is talking about how she must be a bad sister for knitting a scarf when her sister is in danger. Then why are you doing it and not stopping? Of course everytime this happens Naruto must cheer her up because she just can’t stop moping around and doing something herself. Aside from all this, from the very beginning Hinata’s honor needed to be defended by Naruto because she couldn’t stand up for herself. Of course, after Naruto’s words she did stood up for a moment, and that was good, but it should have been a wake up call which altered her course. Instead, she kept doing the same she always did. If we take the Last movie into consideration, she’s still not strong enough to do anything even about her crush on Naruto. She needs genjutsu and Sakura to do the work for her. So even when it comes to the only thing she cares about 90 % of the time, which is Naruto-kun, she can’t do anything about it. That’s really sad. ”HINATA IS KIND AND SELFLESS” There’s one mistake I see people make often, and that’s assuming characters that are quiet and shy are automatically kind. I wouldn’t say Hinata is as kind as the fandom makes her out to be. She simply comes off that way because you don’t really see her have her own opinions or disagree with the other characters. Hinata’s shyness on the other hand is most of the time a fetishized quirk to appeal to certain subset of fans. Her shyness doesn’t stop her from taking exams or hanging around Shino and Kiba or talking to characters other than Naruto. She also has enough attitude to rub Neji’s status as a house slave in his face during their match, but because she stutters Naruto-kun every five minutes she’s supposedly kind. Kindness is shown through actions, not through standing around and stuttering. For comparison, we see Ino befriend an unpopular kid like Sakura, and give her confidence. That’s an act of kindness. Did Hinata ever cared about helping the branch members in any way? No. She’s supposedly “kind” but like I mentioned before she never shows this kindness by standing up for Naruto, or reaching out to him. She simply stares at him behind a tree and draws inspiration from his suffering. The only time she can actually stand up is to selfishly confess her love and die. She even said she felt like being selfish, and like I said she knew there was nothing she could do, she was told she’d only be in the way. She came there only to confess and commit suicide. This actually reminds me of another anime where this female character, after being unable to receive a male character’s love killed herself in front of him and said "now you’ll never forget me”. In the end, she cares about nothing but her own hormonal urges. Hinata tried to help Naruto cheat to pass an exam at the risk of disqualifying her whole team. This is the first individual action we see her character take. Did she consider Shino and Kiba during that moment? No, she didn’t even have an inner conflict on whether she should do this, whether it’s right towards her teammates. Even Naruto considers he might get Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura all in trouble if he accepts Hinata’s offer, which is why he doesn’t do it. Then when Hinata wonders if she can cheer for Naruto during his and Kiba’s match, she thinks Kiba might get mad. It’s more about how Kiba views her rather than whether she should cheer for Kiba because they are in the same team and should support each other. During the Pain attack, she left an injured shinobi, who couldn’t move, to go to Naruto, even when said shinobi told her she would only be in Naruto’s way. She didn’t try to save people, she simply wanted to confess and act in front of Naruto. This is about a threat to the entire village, which includes her comrades and her sister and she’s thinking only about her romantic feelings towards a guy she had maybe two conversations with and who barely remembers she exists. How is she better than Sakura? War arc really was the icing on the cake that Hinata’s character is only about Naruto. We should not forget the infamous ”Naruto-kun’s hand is so big… so manly…” is that really the right time to be thirsty? When Neji just died? Shikamaru mentions that he could help out Naruto as a right-hand man and then Hinata thinks “I-I want to be by Naruto-kun’s side too.” Then there’s of course the scene where she starts running to Naruto, leaving her post and teammates, even when Naruto is a mile away and already in the hands of medical ninjas, and even that ends up her pathetically tripping over a rock. Kiba has to remind her to use her byakugan because she is too busy gushing about Naruto. Eventually her only last line is “Naruto-kun”, when everyone is put into IT. It’s like a parody by this point. She doesn’t have any concern for her sister, her father, her teammates, Kurenai or her baby. It’s just “Naruto-kun” like it always is. Even in the Last movie, she is knitting a scarf for Naruto during the mission where they’re supposed to save her sister. Who brings a scarf on a mission? Why is she thinking about her romantic gift to Naruto so much she has to take it with her on a mission which focus is saving her sister? She even looks more devastated when Toneri tore the scarf apart than she ever does for Hanabi’s sake. It’s just silly and selfish. So yes. Fuck her character. Fuck everything about her. She's not strong or appealing to look at. She has no characteristics that are interesting. People only say she is because she blindly sucks Naruto off and is obligatory token female submissive wife. Lucy from Fairy Tail is better than her.

You do know this people are ninjas right, and they already know of kwaki's history. I mean, he's already killed Boruto once before, before announcing his intentions to do it again and I believe Hinata knew that already 🙄...so it's really stupid of them if you really think about it. What would have been more realistic is Hinata being totally apprehensive of keeping a boy who looks like a bad influence in her house with her two beloved kids. Shy or not, women are actually really protective of their kids and their intuitions are almost always accurate. Hinata lacking any of this, despite having the Byakugan, which is stated to be the eye of insight is even more reason to count against her

[@egiptwielki5693]

This phrase 'I love you', it is translated from '私はナルトくんが大好きだから' - 'Watashi wa Naruto-kun ga daisuki dakara'. And the most common use for daisuki is 'love' when you say about a hobby or beloved animals or favourite food. Like, 'I love dogs', 'I love pizza'. It may sound ambiguous and not as straightforward as the translation looks like. Besides, her character is based on Japanese culture. Hinata is making subtle moves, even though she is introvert, and probably has some kind of anxiety. I don't see her really making bold moves towards Naruto. But I still agree she could have been written better.

However, her Sasuke-obsession is annoying, especially after he becomes a genocidal psycopath, her agressive bitchness and hipocrisy towards Naruto, Sai and Konohamaru is annoying and her stupidity and falseness in the "let's kill Sasuke" arc is pathetic and consecrated her as one of the worst charaters in the series.

@@princeyoutuber-yq8hf 1- Ok. That's an opinion. But somehow you state it as it is some sort of fact, or science. 2- And I agree with that opinion. After all, my answer wasn't "Because Hinata is kind". No, her kindness is ONE OF the reasons why I think of her as a nice charactet. Not THE REASON. It's a build up of things. Her kindness, compassion, empathy, eventual hard-workingness and strength of character during the chunnin exams, plus chosing to give her life fighting Pain instead of just letting Naruto be taken. Plus having the resolve to not falter after Neji's death and helping Naruto to cope with it and overcome it as well. Plus, the gentle fist, the air palm and twin-lion fist are cool techniches. All that, subtracted by her very annoying narutocentrism, generates my opinion of her. I don't find any character good or bad because a single adjective. Perhaps you don't consider value in any of all these points, and absolutely everything you can compute about Hinata is the annoying narutocentrism. And that would be as valuable an opinion as stating that the narutocentrism is awesome. Just an opinion.

I probably will get some Salt for saying this but if you go by the manga hinata was never a big deal to begin with she was always a slide character that Faded into the background Its Studio pierrots Bias towards her that made her a fan favourite to begin with givein the Amount of filler that was used to make her look cool 😂 Compared to the other females in the series

[@stanleyphinazee5354]

It's funny cause she is voiced by the same actress of another character...orihime from Bleach. And orihime was submissive but way better written and showed her strength when needed even though she did not get much screentime after the rescue rukia arc.

Thank you 🎉

[@Atticus-Catnipp]

All Kishimoto needed to do was to put Hinata into team 7 instead of Sakura. It literally needed her to be a damsel in distress for Naruto to be worried about her. That's the worst foundation for a relationship

[@ayhamahmad2277]

She was never supposed to end with Naruto to being with sakura was but she was back then and hinata was more popular than her that kishimoto editor told him to change the plan and that because the anime sakura is way better in the manga

[@istalkghosts497]

For crying out loud, she had to be kidnapped for naruto to even take any notice of her. That's how abysmal hinata is as a character. But no, you're the problem if you don't acknowledge guilt tripping and genjutsu to be the peak of romantic story telling.

[@Mimi._.Haruno_]

​​@@istalkghosts497I love Sakura, like, she's my fav anime character but her and Hinata should've swapped teams She would've benefited from Kurenai way more, as they both had an affinity for Genjutsu (especially the theme of Kurenai's Genjutsu matching Sakura's whole Blossom motif). And they still could've kept her as an important character, just on a different team As for Hinata and Kurenai, they could just have Kakashi be the one to take her in when her father disowns her. It would set up their relationship from the beginning

[@DGJAKSUHLK]

I think you should just stick to power scaling. I don't know if it was filler but I remember Naruto saving Hinata from bullies. Since Hinata is from such a strict clan like the Hyuga clan it's possible that Hinata appreciates Naruto's kindness. Also people sometimes like another because of personality alone. Hinata was a less relevant character than Sakura in the start of the story. There was not much high expectations on her, she fulfilled basic requirements like having a good personality and playing her part in events to the best of her ability. While Sakura the main female character. People call her useless because she disappointed them when the time came and there were moments she said terrible things to Naruto and even Sasuke was triggered, overall Kishimoto might have slipped up, making her personality misunderstood?? I also noticed how you tried to make Naruto hate the villagers more in your rewrite, just because it doesn't make sense to you. But the thing is people are different. Naruto might just be gentle and are less prone to feeling hate and ends up being sad overall. There is no right or wrong emotions, it depends on inherent desire. I personally respect Naruto because he didn't give in to hate but tried to better himself to prove them wrong and be accepted.

[@grannywisconsin7119]

Wonder how strong is hinata would be if she was trained by tsunade just like sakura?

[@lilveltheplayer2164]

Wondering that myself considering Hinata would have to be a healer if she wanted to actually learn stuff from Tsunade because the Hyuga are about gentle styles, not brute strength like Guy & Lee.

[@Suto_Ko]

If Hinata were trained by Tsunade, she would be very strong. Hinata is already a skilled ninja, and she has a lot of potential. With Tsunade's training, she would learn how to use her chakra more effectively, and she would develop new and powerful techniques. Hinata would also benefit from Tsunade's knowledge of medical ninjutsu. This knowledge would allow Hinata to heal herself and her allies, and it would make her more versatile in battle. Overall, if Hinata were trained by Tsunade, she would be a very powerful ninja. She would be able to use her Gentle Fist technique to defeat even the strongest opponents, and she would be able to heal herself and her allies.

[@justinarzola4584]

I think Tsunade's healing would of worked well with Hinata's other teqniques.

[@ivanbluecool]

Hinata really had nothing to lean on. She should have been on more early missions as they did send neji so why not hinata as well for the gaara arc? Her master got wrecked so hard she became a house wife after using genjutsu on itachi. Kiba was a feat for Naruto to defeat and shino was very underused especially when he could wreck a majority of the cast And that's without mentioning the other groups. Shikamaru was lucky like sakura to get to drop a Akatsuki member before things became god mode

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Even Sakura and Ino are more useful than Hinata.

she gives off pathetic woman who is constantly pining upon unrequited love. that's why people are like, ''oh poor hinata, if only naruto took notice of her'' yada yada yada

They literally had to make a whole movie to try and make up for the fact that they had no real development throughout the series. 🤣

[@valkgaming6256]

you know, i wouldn't say kisimoto is embarrassed to write something romantic. Especially when he literally made a panel of konohamaru transforming into two dudes in a weird position!

[@connorwilson6543]

I'm not gonna call Hinata the worst female character just because she was under-developed. That is obviously a flaw in her character, but I consider Sakura to be worse due to her abrasive nature in general, her obsessive affection for Sasuke that still continued even after he tried to kill her, and because unlike Hinata she got a ton more screen-time yet hardly did anything with it.

[@azureascendant994]

Kishimoto should've had an assistant writer (If he did I have no idea) who would make up for his writing weaknesses such as personality traits and female characters. Multitasking is, after all difficult for a lot of ppl. It's not soo much Hinata is a terrible character, but how she was handled. A character whose purpose is to solely revolve around the mc and take their wounds isn't a character at all but a device. Good video anyway. 👍

[@flyte707]

i don't think hinata and naruto were planned the whole time kishimoto just copied the love triangle in dragon quest: dai no daibouken and the character in that series who was shy got rejected in that series whereas the character who was similar to sakura seemed to have a change of heart rather than chasing the guy who didn't return her feelings

[@Some_guy_passing_by]

It's really obvious. He probably stopped giving a crap after Pain arc ( it's obvious that someone told him to give Hinata a moment, he did and then it's never mentioned for 200 chapters) and then rushed those ships . He also said that women aren't supposed to give up on their first love without being horrible people.. so yeah , that's another thing. The romance in Naruto was all sorts of wrong. Naruto and Hinata smooching in the moon .. where there is no air ...

[@James_Wisniewski]

You know it's bad when Orihime from Bleach is a better female character/love interest (if you don't believe me, go back and watch the first two arcs again). Then again, Bleach has a lot of awesome female characters compared to other Shonen. The only better ones I can think of are, like, Dr Stone, One Piece (if you ignore that Oda can only draw two types of female characters), and Jujutsu Kaisen. Attack on Titan too, though it feels weird to think of that as a Shonen all things considered. Wow. Naruto is really lagging behind in the female character department. The only good one is Tsunade, and maybe Temari.

[@aoishiro6622]

Let's not get overboard here. Female characters are always badly written in Shonen. You're not going to make people think that Bleach and One Piece are doing better. Orihime isn't a good character (similar to Hinata but Hinata in OG Naruto was far more interesting), Rukia disappeared after she got rescued and the rest are all side characters. One Piece is even worse really. I don't get how you can think Nami or Robin are good characters. Recent Shonen that did his female characters justice would be Chainsaw Man. Because they feel like actual characters with relevance to the plot, not just fan service a la One Piece. Compare the impact of Makima, Reze and Power with Nami and Robin and yeahhh... Let's be nice and just say that the One Piece girls are only here for the pose.

[@CourageUmoh]

I've never beem so offended by something I completely agree with. Thankfully, there's fanfiction for this sorta thing.

[@divyanshuprajapati4953]

Shikamaru and Temari had better relationship then Naruto and Hinata

[@jaredgreathouse3672]

In other genres of fiction, we still have supporting characters who have THEIR OWN story lines. Take the show Ray Donovan. Ray has 3 brothers, and each of them have their own stories and things that make them interesting as characters, even though they're not Ray. Same with Ray's children, and Ray's dad, Mick (even though he plays a much more central role here than Ray's brothers). They're not the MC, but they have cool stories and have their own subplots. If Naruto did this with Hinata and other characters while not deviating so much from the main plot, people like Sakura and Hinata would be much better as characters. This is why Dygo's rewrite is cool. Hinata actually SHOWS development, even though the show is obviously still about Naruto, she's a very effective side character and love interest for Naruto.

[@ayhamahmad2277]

Blame the editor who didn't allow kishimoto to aid more arc like he wanted to and that what happens to the side characters they need more arc to focus on them but they didn't allow him to aid
