Fan-Art Brings Naruto’s Lively Spirit Back to Life Post Transformation Blunder

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Naruto’s older avatar was met with heavy backlash due to the drastic and unnatural change from his original appearance.
– Fans took matters into their own hands with fan art to bring back the Naruto they know and love.

From a distinctive ninja to the vibrant lead character who is highly adored by the masses, Naruto’s appearance has constantly created a buzz. Originating as a subtly appealing ninja, Naruto, designed by Masashi Kishimoto, transformed into a character featuring a bright orange suit that established him as a unique manga character suitable for the shonen genre.

Naruto’s Controversial Transformation

Controversy struck when Naruto’s design evolved as he grew older. Typically, age maturity showcases characters’ beauty, both in terms of their physical appearance and maturity. Indeed, most characters from the series received a well-suited transformation to exhibit their journey over time, primarily highlighted in “Boruto”. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for Naruto himself.

To represent the aged Naruto, Kishimoto provided him with a short haircut. While this was an attempt to give him a grown-up look, it seemed to do more harm than good. The artwork indeed made him appear older, but at the expense of Naruto’s joyously familiar facial features.

Negativity Surrounds Naruto’s New Look

These changes sparked considerable negativity, turning this transformation into one of Naruto’s worst. With Naruto being the protagonist and a beloved character for many fans, the backlash was immense. Fans were left disappointed with the abrupt change that seemed to drain Naruto of his liveliness, leaning towards a more subdued look.

The Power of Fan Art

Despite the dissatisfaction, fan art came into play to rectify this censure. A fan art shared by Twitter user @King_Sukunaaa revived Naruto’s earlier vibrant look. Naruto’s cherished hair was back to its original form, and the radiance was evident on his face once again. His vivacious personality shone through, much to the relief and delight of the fans.

Fan Art vs Masashi Kishimoto’s Design

While Kishimoto certainly endowed Naruto with commendable strength and characteristics, “Boruto” seemed to lose a part of Naruto’s lively persona post his transition into a Hokage. Life appeared to have slowed down for Naruto, which garnered mixed reviews from avid followers. On the contrary, the fan art depiction of Naruto was like a breath of fresh air for fans who were disappointed with Kishimoto’s representation. This artwork provided them with a sense of relief, affirming the Naruto they had grown to love.

Watching Naruto’s Journey

Naruto continues to be a popular series available on Netflix, taking viewers on an exciting journey featuring the lead character’s transformation over time. Although Naruto’s appearance may have changed in the recent adaptations, his legacy and the love fans have for him remain constant.

While the manga world witnessed a transformation that wasn’t welcomed warmly, the power of fan-art showcased the character’s essence that fans had been yearning for, thereby redeeming Masashi Kishimoto’s perceived blunder.

Remember, whether it’s a change that receives a thumbs-up or down, Naruto continues to maintain a consistent presence in the hearts of his fans!
