So I saw a post about anti shikatema, and they had several very valid points.

They compared it to Taming of the Shrew

They didn't like how Temari got thrashed by Shikamaru in their Chunin match

(On that note, canon has really only ever shown Temari beating female opponents)

Temari is shown being abusive to Shikamaru in Boruto

These are excellent points and I feel like addressing them because I'm bored, ShikaTema is my OTP, and why not.

Okay, Taming of the Shrew is lauded as a great Shakespearean play and honestly, I don't see the allure of it. I identify as a pretty hardcore feminist, and basically nothing about a "husband" torturing his "wife" into doing her "womanly duties" is redeemable. If ShikaTema were just like TotS, I can see the dilemma. However, Much Ado About Nothing is a much better play, and honestly the one I would compare ShikaTema to personally. The characters are both intelligent and sarcastic and actually agree to be with each other, like ShikaTema.

Shikamaru admitted that without backup, Temari would have won, but really he got the victory. And that was fine, cool fight. We learned that they are both intelligent and that introduced the characters to us. That interaction didn't really build the ShikaTema ship for me. The moment that launched the ship was when Temari saved him from Tayuya and impressed him with her "scary yet beautiful smile." "She's subtle as a rhino 🦏 and Scarier than my Mom." And then she comforted him in the hospital (the best she knew how). Because in this arc, not the Exams, they both developed respect for each other's skills and hearts.

As an aside, someone else pointed out that Temari is only shown to win against girls. And I had never noticed that. We are certainly led to believe that she can and does regularly kick guys asses, too, we just never see it. And that is definitely a problem with the source material :( #KishiWhyMakeGreatKunoichiAndNotUseThem? #LetGirlsKickAssToo

In a nutshell summary?

WHO DO I HAVE TO PUNCH IN THE FACE FOR DOING THIS TO MY POOR BABY GIRL

Why does Mirai look like someone took 10 years off her with a Benjamin Button no jutsu?

Somewhere Kabuto is plotting revenge on Mitsuki for stealing his ninja card exposition gig. they may not look like much, these ninja trading cards...

So @borutoverse asked me to translate the trio from Sunagakure if I had time, so here it is. (I didn't typeset it because I wasn't completely sure I had the permission).

Exactly, and Kishimoto ALWAYS shipped both NH & SS because you can clearly saw it via his interviews, databooks, the manga itself, etc; and many people from the NS fandom were too blinded because of the ‘paralulz’ and anime fillers, they didn’t read well the story; Now, on Kubo, on the other hand gave lots of interviews, poems, colorspread etc in favor of IR, which contradicts the ending. I’m very sad and dissappointed

I think here is where we are going have to agree to disagree.

hmm…makes sense, however, when people compare bleach’s eneding with naruto’s ending in a negative light, I will flip my tables

The big difference here is that unlike Kubo, when Momma SJ decided everyone had had enough fun and it was time to go home from the water park Kishi did not keep stopping to splash around in the kiddie pools that were those shallow god-awful excuses for fights and constant “GOTCHA!” power-ups while the fans waited for him impatiently by the packed-up van yelling “Oh my GOD hurry up and get over here, we should’ve been on the road by now!” D:< And then of course they had to break every speed limit to get home before dinner time.

If that’s the way he wants to end Bleach, it’s very dissappoiting; but I don’t know, that ending doesn’t make sense, but in the end, we just have to wait and see
