not to be that girl who connects the dots, but him specifically having this “consent first and foremost” personality fits quite well with his hypothetical mate’s background
Only thing hot about what happened between Azriel & Elain is him asking multiple times for clear and enthusiastic consent. Only other character I remember doing that in the Maasverse is Chaol
PEOPLE FORGET KISHIMOTO LITERALLY ADMITTED NARUTO’S POWER CREEP HAD BECOME A PROBLEM 😭
By the end of Naruto, Naruto & Sasuke had become SO powerful that fights had basically turned into giant KAIJU battles.
Kishimoto himself said:
“Naruto and Sasuke [were] becoming so strong and the battles getting bigger and bigger…”
And when BORUTO started, he was already worried that watching kids fight afterward would make everything feel SMALLER.
So his solution was to change HOW battles were expressed.
That explains why Naruto lost Kurama and Sasuke lost Rinnegan.
#ONEPIECE1196
The monster trio all had to lock in mentally to grow into who they have to be in Elbaph
Luffy got reminded of his importance in the world
Zoro got reminded to think highly of himself
Sanji got reminded to love himself
No other Shonen does it like One Piece
