Reasons why Hinata is listed as one of the main characters in Boruto anime

[Shruikan]

Kishimoto believes otherwise since he regretted making Sakura the MC and not Hinata.

Of course he says that now that she married the MC. He had 15 years and yet didnt do it. That says a lot

I see so many deleted and edited posts lol. Salty Sakura fans... and I think one of them is a mod lol.

I want to see a Sakura free Boruto anime/manga as much as possible and this I guess is the first step towards that.

 

[Koibito]

Damn NB, kinda sexist to through a fit about NARUTOs wife and BORUTOs mother, the byakugan princesses, Hinata being a main character. In what story would a woman in these roles, who is shown to have a fairly high battle capacity not be a main character? Nobody is complaining about naruto being mc, if hinata is JUST his mother than Naruto is JUST his father right?

Hinata would have made a better heroine objectively speaking anyways.

Well Kishi and Ikemoto already realized that and are now correcting their mistake by cleaning the trash...:th:

Depends on your personal tastes. If a timid girl like Hinata were on the team I would not have liked the manga as much

Hinata would've been even worse as a heroine if she's such helpless girl like sakura who will just be overshadow by the male character especially know how clitche when Timid girl and rowdy guy always ended up together. It's gonna be bland as f***. I would like to see Hinata being savage asf when she gets some mental breakdown.

Himawari is what Hinata should've been.

IMO I don't think so.

I haven't really seen Himawari 'shy' at all, nor timid or even a breakaway character like that. Every-time we've seen her, she's either been extremely bubbly, cute, or sad.

For instance when dealing with her father not being there, she doesn't get angry like her brother. Meaning she isn't as bratty.

When it comes to her older brother in their interactions, she's sweet and gentle, however she doesn't show it in a 'Hinata' way. She jumps up and tackles her brother in for a hug, basically she isn't afraid to go at it.

Another point is that Himawari doesn't really take shit either. When Boruto tried to pry away her toy, she fought back, and when he broke it, she got pissed off. Another thing you don't see in Hinata's character: Standing up for herself, getting angry when someone does something to you that you do not like, and hitting people who piss you off.

I mean the differences are there, I think. I remember there was this one gif someone took of the Movie, and Boruto was 'cheating' -- aka winning the match. Himawari stood up and started clapping while jumping, and Hinata just smiled while sitting tightly.

From that point of view, I thought it really represented both their characters. Himawari reminds me of both Naruto/Hinata, she has her mother's kindness, but she also has Naruto's fire. If that makes sense.

IMO side by side you could see the portrayed her as more outgoing than Hinata by far, and to be totally honest, she's a hidden jewel in the dirt. She has a wild side that is reminiscent of the Kushina trope.

Of course if Hinata stayed timid the entire time, it would have been annoying. However, Hinata's story arc, before she was made into a pairing fodder, was about her becoming more confident in herself and becoming stronger. Due to her being a side character, this was largely ignored and done off panel, but we still saw how she grew as a person through moments like confronting pain, after Neji's death, during the Last, or when she attempted to rescue Naruto from Momoshiki. If she were to have been a main character, her story arc and development would have naturally gotten more screen time. The fact that you still call her timid when she is no longer like that is proof how badly her character was ignored.

Hinata would've been even worse as a heroine if she's such helpless girl like sakura who will just be overshadow by the male character especially know how clitche when Timid girl and rowdy guy always ended up together. It's gonna be bland as f***. I would like to see Hinata being savage asf when she gets some mental breakdown.

Even if we were to assume that both Sakura and Hinata were not overshadowed by Naruto/Sasuke and got just as much screen time and development, Hinata would still be the better option. This is due to the fact that Hinata has her own story to go through (Heiress of the Hyuga), whereas Sakura's revolves around the two other main characters (Being Hokage and Killing Itachi), Hinata has MANY very obvious similarities to both Naruto and Sasuke, the former's being pointed out in the manga, whereas her similarities to Sasuke are abundant in her past and relationship with her family, whereas Sakura has absolutely no similarities, and Hinata actually has an interesting fighting style that could have gradually developed alongside Naruto and Sasuke's unlike Sakura, who went from holding kunais in battle, to healing, to punching, to punching really hard. The Gentle Fist style would have provided for a far better fighting style development than that. Hinata's personality is also far more compatible with both Naruto and Sasuke's, whereas Team 7 with Sakura was just a mess.

Another point is that Himawari doesn't really take shit either. When Boruto tried to pry away her toy, she fought back, and when he broke it, she got pissed off. Another thing you don't see in Hinata's character: Standing up for herself, getting angry when someone does something to you that you do not like, and hitting people who piss you off.

Hinata never really had any opportunities to show this tbh. Sure, there was her cowardice during her fight with Neji,but she overcame that with Naruto's help. After that, she was never put into a situation where she'd have to stand up for herself, at least not ones that could directly be pointed out.

You also have to consider that a person's personality doesn't really change much once it's established. Look at Sasuke, he's still cold and a loner despite no longer being a brooding revenge-seeker. It's because, like Sasuke, Hinata's past shaped her personality, and with the way her family treated her, its to be expected she'd not be as angry as Himawari or confrontational.

Although, being angry and aggresive isn't equivalent to fighting back when the going gets tough, as shown with Sakura or Choji (initially). Hinata on the other hand, calmly plucked Hanabi's eyes out of Toneri's head and faced off against pain. Sure, she's not being aggressive, but that doesn't mean she wasn't fighting back. Not everyone needs to scowl and let out a battle cry when they're standing up for themselves or others.

And I personally prefer Hinata to be that kind of calm and cool-headed person since it far better suits her character design, fighting style, and backstory.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

I don't know why Sakura fans are crying about Hinata getting some attention. Sakura was one of the MCs in Naruto and she was useless and a complete disappointment so it makes sense that they are cutting her out as much as possible from Boruto. But I think wasting some of the panels on her is unavoidable.

 

[Hakke]

Himawari would make a great heroine

Agreed

 

[shelke]

Well Kishi and Ikemoto already realized that and are now correcting their mistake by cleaning the trash...:th:

It wasn't a mistake. SP added her there. She wasn't in the original script, yo. I thought I told you that last time? Ikemoto is simply following the original script.

Hanabi would have made a great heroine

Correct answer.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

It wasn't a mistake. SP added her there. She wasn't in the original script, yo. I thought I told you that last time? Ikemoto is simply following the original script.

Did anyone confirm that. Either way it doesn't matter though, I glad that she's not there.
