General & Others Naruto series should not have been named Naruto

[Tai long]

Am I the only one that feels the series should not have been after naruto with the amount of screen time and importance the author gave to other characters like sasuke

Always thought that calling the series like the mc was dumb. Imagine instead of Hunter x Hunter we got "Gon". Instead of One Piece we have "Luffy" and instead of Dragon Ball we get "Goku". Like fr, show some originality.

 

[Finalbeta]

It looks too centric I concur on that

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Maybe Konoha would have been good. But in the end there is an alliance of many villages so maybe that would have been "bad" too. By the way Naruto sounds very japanese,i think its a perfect name for this story.

Yeah, but we also have "Dexter" & "Hannibal". Show named after M.c can work,the problem is that Naruto isn't an interesting or unique enough character to shoulder that weight, people didn't tune in just for Naruto.

Edit: some grammar

 

[Jaguark101]

Call it "Talk no jutsu"
jokes aside, Maybe "The tale of Naruto Uzumaki" or "The Jinchuriki"

That's a very good point. The character that is named after the show should be able to carry this weight easily. And Naruto fails to do so.

 

[Zolo]

it should have been named sasuke

 

[Finalbeta]

it should have been named sasuke

Are you another Sasuke worshipper bro?

 

[symbiote]

It should have been completely unrelated like Bleach was.

 

[MarineHQ]

Sasuke was the main protagonist

 

[Adam-san]

Sasuke and naruto are trash.

 

[Calypso]

Should have named it
"2 strong ninja and 1 useless kunoichi"​

 

[notAfanboy]

Spiderman
Batman
Superman
Loki
Thor
Ironman
Venom
Hulk

Huh, oh, wrong thread. Sorry.

He is intetesting to me.
The story revolves around Naruto.
Naruto upbringing
Naruto's past, present, future.
Naruto's training.
Naruto's 9 tail.

Is there any arc where Naruto was not a key player?

 

[Sasparan]

Naruto is just short of the true name of the series. True name of the series is:
"Naruto and Sasuke complicated love story."

Other than my lame joke Naruto is a decent name for the series at the end of the series it mentions that Kyuubi is sealed inside Naruto and he became a Hokage. Its Narutos story and the name shows us that.

^ this pretty much

Itachi was my favourite

Now I've think about it, Oda could have named Sanji "Naruto" instead if Kishimoto didn't come up with Naruto first.
