Re: too big 4

(Anonymous) 2008-03-14 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I have to argue a bit with the idea that how big a role a character gets is based on their personal strength. Yeah, Naruto has an advantage over other characters strength-wise, but I still wouldn't call him uber powerful, or even close to the most powerful character. For most of the series everyone from Sasuke to just about every adult could kick his ass, and these days while he could give most people a run for their money, I still don't think he'd win over absolutely everyone. There are also characters like Chouji, Shikamaru (smart? yes. World's most powerful ninja? Not even close), Rock Lee, Hinata, and heck, everyone's favorite sensei Iruka, who get considerable screentime (for not being one of the four or five main characters) despite not excatly being the most insanely powerful ninjas in the Naruto world.

So yeah, it's about doing your best and growing in strength etc. etc. familiar shonen trope, but I think Kishimoto does a pretty good job of growing out of the "ew, weak girls lets go practice ninjaing somewhere else" that it brushes in the beginning. And even that beginning makes sense because Naruto is maturing as the series goes on and, hypothetically, growing out of the girls are only good for looking cute and/or having cooties phase.
