I’m pretty bothered with the way Sumire’s character is developing. A girl who was introduced as super badass slowly begins to turn into Hinata 2.0. How do you guys feel about this?

Slowly begins…? I don’t think you remember her introduction. This is who she is. It was never an act you know? Do you think her first appearance in episode was fighting Boruto and Mitsuki?

Why do people always compare her to Part 1 Hinata?

Sumire isn’t even that shy. She’s softer than most of the other girls, but she’s not any more shy than Namida. Heck she took on the class rep role, so she’s clearly not afraid of working in leadership positions. Sumire is by nature a quieter but more observant person (which is why her keeping an eye on Amado is in character). She’s been groomed and manipulated by her father to basically be a spy and a walking suicide bomb, and now that she‘s moved on from that part of her past she’s just a bit awkward because she’s trying to find her role in life. Just because she’s a bit more demure (and even then, we’ve seen her become very serious even after the Nue arc) doesn’t mean she’s a clone of Hinata, who is also a far more complex character than just “shy”.

Boiling down both characters as being the same because they’re vaguely on the “shy” side and have a crush on the MC is a disservice to both.

Also PSA: You can like both Sarada and Sumire. It’s not a competition. Both are very good girls, so stop comparing them when they themselves are good friends in-universe.

Don’t care. Her character was ruined after the Nue Arc so I simply moved on for potentially good written female characters like Sarada , Tsubaki and Himawari

Most of the comments under these post are ridiculous tbh ,we are still believing the fact she’s hinata 2.0 when it’s clear both are different

The Fandom only care about female character if she get some fights and appears in anime otherwise she’s trash ,in ch 65 sumire literally told about a important information about code but all are sleeping on that bcoz this fd believe female characters are only well written when they fight ,no wonder boruto is for kids

Not a fan of sumire but I don’t dislike her either she’s an okay character just like namida and wasabi

I agree and I hope she actually shows her bad side and goes you know

I loved her little introduction arc, and Nue and all that stuff. SO its a bit sad watching her just kinda fade away.

Don’t really care for the pushing of her with either Boruto or Kawaki as well.

I’m more annoyed with the fact that a person with the same personality as the old MC’s love interest is being considered as a love interest for the new MC.

I wouldn’t mind her character if she was just another side character.

People defending here how they changed her character here cause that’s “who she truly is” don’t understand that that’s who the writer decided to change her to be. All things that happen is not just the natural curse of life cause that’s not real life. That’s the author being like “nah, you girl, means you don’t get to fight and be cool, you stay and cook for husband”. I like watching and reading Boruto, but you can’t ignore how sexist this universe can be.

Also, stop fucking comparing her to Sarada “oh but I prefer sarada” bro both characters can have nice developments and show up more

Could you stop with Hinata 2.0? Hinata was not like this. If you don’t count fillers that is

Hinata is the embodiment of shyness while Sumire is a normal supportive character. Hinata only approaches Naruto while Sumire does not only talk to Kawaki but she is one of the few who did not judge him because he was an outsider. I may be biased here but I think she is just a wholesome supporting character like Himawari and it is just the fans of Hinata are saying that they like Sumire because she is just like the kid Hinata.

She’s been doing more than any other female lead in the manga at least. Some other characters haven’t been apart in years in this.

I don’t care about her or sadara, theyre both boring

Characters in this series barely have any relevance. Most of the anime is filler anyways.

Nue will play a large role in the future (hopefully… possibly… maybe…?)

I support women in stem sooooo no lol

She was great when she was anime-only but the manga writers liked Sumire so much that they brought her into the manga to be Boruto’s love interest and now she doesn’t have much to do but wait until she marries Boruto and think Amado is sus in the meantime

She’s probably going to have some sort of payoff with Amado. She might even be the one who outs him.

Unfortunately her being introduced early as a badass means that this is probably going to end in some kind of “Worf-effect” where Amado takes her down by pushing a button on his wrist watch or something…

I hate the stereotypes, period.

They make all the girl shinobis useless housewives at the end of the day because Japanese culture is very old fashioned about women. In their mind women stay home cook etc and man go to work.
