from becoming a pairing.
>>283854189Because they're afraid of/don't have faith in true love. Kishi and Kubo don't seem the most trusting or loving of the female gender. The other two do though.
>>283854189In the naruto and sakuras defense.Sakura liking Naruto would have made perfect sense.They spent a lot of time together, and it would be natural for her to eventually develop feelings for him. That would show emotional growth and fix one of her biggest issues as a character, her shallow, one-sided love for Sasuke. In fact, Kishimoto himself hinted at some point that Sakura was starting to develop feelings for Uzumaki.Naruto deserved that ending. He always fought for her,and seeing the protagonist finally win the love he had always longed for would have been a fair reward for his journey, a true hero's closure.And honestly, that look they share in the picture has more chemistry than most of Kishimoto's canon couples, only Minato and Kushina beat them.Bonus reason: Kushina herself told Naruto to find a woman like her, and Minato, who knew Kushina best, even mentioned that Sakura had a personality very similar to hers, not to mention they even look alike.
>>283854189Because many children read those manga, and including serious romance will make them stop reading it
>>283854268>and seeing the protagonist finally win the love he had always longed for would have been a fair reward for his journey, a true hero's closure.No one sane wants to see someone "win" the love of someone who treats them like dogshit. Naruto is a good person who deserves someone who saw the good in him. Not yet another person who fucked with him because of the nine tailed fox.
>>283854189You answered it yourself, it's accidental. Any man and woman that become close platonically as long as they're not radically out of each other's league or have no respect for each other, even if they don't want it, develop a dimension to their relationship that relates to sexuality. They either have to actively reject this dimension, decisevely cutting it away from ever surfacing, or they have to entertain it to see how they feel once romance is on the table. The second option is better because once they entertain it they can have a sober perception of it and reject or accept it without regrets or suppression. This is why Sakura deceptively confessing to Naruto was actually what led Naruto to fully getting over his crush. The second it was on the table he realized he didn't actually want it.
>>283854189Shipfags hallucinate the chemistry and project it on fictional characters due to issues with their own lack of love life
>>283854189Aren't Natsu and Lucy actually teased to be a thing though?I don't read it but pic rel is actual official art.
>>283854189>accidentally
>>283854189The author not following your shipper delusions is not a retcon.Also it's funny that you're posting NaLu as if it's not an exception to the multiple confirmed main and side character couples that Mashima has written.
>>283854189I think romancefags should kill themselves. Agreed?
>>283854489Luffy x Nami is hallucinatedSo is the Fairy Tail couple (I think, I don't remember much of Fairy Tail)But Naruto has had a crush on Sakura, that's canon romantic subplot.
>>283854503>>283854506>16 seconds apartFTcord is here I see
>>283854602It was a complete coincidence. Just usual 4chan hivemind.
Man has /a/ sunk so low guess its time for a break.
>>283854189Most of these are just shipper delusionCould've posted something like Soul and Maka and it would make more sense
>>283854189>another retarded sasukejeet thread
>>283854189It's an unspoken rule that a shonen series has a hero and heroine. Sometimes they're not a couple but are expected to appear in a cover together to market the series.Simple as that
>>283854189>chemistrywhat it actually means>male and female characters interact way more than their designated love interests.
>>283854503>Aren't Natsu and Lucy actually teased to be a thing though?Yes and no. It's clear that Mashmia never designed them with the intent they'd get together. While fans started shipping them hard, last I checked he'd never really gotten on board with it himself. So over the years he's been happy to throw shippers fodder like that, but hasn't given them any real development like other couples in the series have gotten. He seems to prefer leaving things open ended given the ending to the original series. Granted I haven't kept up with the sequel so I don't know if anything has changed, but I'm fairly certain if things had changed it'd have been spammed enough for me to see it. Thus we have the current situation, where Natsu and Lucy's parallel world counterparts have a kid together, but the characters themselves haven't explicitly expressed any romantic intent, and it wouldn't be odd if the sequel ends with things still be open ended and ambiguous for them.
>>283854189Why do you hallucinate, then pretend your hallucinations are real?
>>283854189>Sakura>"you're an orphan yikes omg saske">good chemistry
