Something from my notes while I was watching Shippuden
It’s weird that Naruto married a woman who is quiet, introverted and has special eye powers. During my time watching this god forsaken show, I noted down that Naruto seems to attract introverted shy downer boys like Gaara and Sasuke. I guess there is something about that type of personality he likes in dudes. I am still very doubtful that he would like that personality in a woman because he criticized his future wife who had the same personality but in the end, he seemingly married her. It’s like he married a female-ish Sasuke. Like someone who superficially sounds like him on paper.
For Sasuke, he doesn’t seem to like a lot of people outside of his family. He tolerated Naruto’s extroverted, loud and confident behaviour. He was annoyed by his obsession with chasing after him though. I don’t blame him he gets it from both sides and it’s not like he has a mentor to ask for advice on how to deal with it. Anyway, I’ve seen him ignore Sakura who has a similar personality to Naruto at times. She’s tomboyish and has the former traits. He low-key criticized her for being obsessed with him. He also doesn’t seem to visually like pushy women, but it might be because every woman so far has been pushy in their advances and flirty towards him. There is no shame for whoever has a crush on him. But he doesn’t seem to mind it as much when Naruto does it. I mean he does mind it but he didn’t say it’s disgusting or anything. It’s again weird that he married Sakura because I always felt like he didn’t like that kind of woman but he’s okay with it when it’s a guy to a more tolerable extent.
Those two really did marry the female version of their “type”. But again, the impression I got so far was that they didn’t like that personality if it was the opposite sex for whatever reason.
I know I just finished the show but I feel like LITERALLY everyone married the wrong person. Everyone should swapped partners. More people should be single, some people shouldn’t be dead while others I’m shocked they survived (looking at you KIBA AND MIGHT GUY) and others who aren’t married yet for some reason.
Sakura and Naruto, I love you both dearly but you both married the wrong people in my eyes. But this also applies to everyone else so don’t come for me (this wasn’t in my notes but I have to put this in here - I’m just copying pasting my immediate thoughts I wrote in my notes lol)
It’s just weird. I followed a strict anime filler guide and it makes me feel like I missed something.
Food for thought
Oh also Sasuke totally gives off I have commitment issues, bachelor vibes and just lone wolf identity. Kinda like Jiraya but not a pervert or a writer. More like he just wants to be alone even if it meant being away from society. To me, he will always prioritize himself above everyone else because he has way too much baggage. He just comes across as someone who wants to be in solitude. It’s unfortunate because he had such a bright future when he was a kid but in canon, he seems to be married while living his bachelor lifestyle from the ending.
