One Iconic Naruto Character is LGBTQ Officially Confirms Boruto
While it may be surprising that Naruto has basically no canonically LGBTQ+ characters, Borutochanged that. As potentially problematic as the decision is, the sequel series confirmed that the classic villain Orochimaru is actually genderfluid.
Orochimaru is easily one of Naruto's most iconic villains. Throughout the unique series, Orochimaru is obsessed with obtaining immortality through swapping bodies with influential ninja. This most famously occurred with both Sasuke and Itachi, though the brothers were separately fit to prevent their bodies from being taken over. Despite these notable setbacks though, Orochimaru would approach back from several deaths. Orochimaru actually managed to make it to the end of Naruto alive, despite everything, and Boruto followed up on this by introducing Orochimaru's clone/son and the one ninja with a cooler sage mode than Naruto, Mitsuki.

It’s always a bit tough to admit that a character one loves is bad representation.
That said, sometimes it’s also completely fucking undeniable; and so, it is with a dense heart that I must admit Orochimaru from Naruto and Boruto is a fairly terrible depiction of a nonbinary person. Which seems rather immediately visible once I type it.
As gay as basically everyone in Naruto is subtextually, Orochimaru is the only character whose queerness ever makes it into text — in Boruto, he’s asked about his gender and says quite clearly that he’s neither male nor female and doesn’t particularly care. This serves as confirmation of what has always been there — Orochimaru strives to achieve immortality by borrowing the bodies of others, and he’s never been concerned with what sex those bodies occur to be, only that they’re suitably strong. We know at least one of the bodies he’s occupied was female, and during the Chunin Exams he disguises himself as a woman. He’s androgynously beautiful. In the scene where he encounters Kimimaro, we see him wearing a woman’s kimono. None of this is what makes him an example of bad representatio
Ah, another shipper who ships a ship where author implied twice they never kissed. And whose couple never had a meaningful conversation in a 700 chapter manga. And linking me to some SS stan who gave Elon Musk money for bluecheck mark. 🤣 A nice ground to stand on. Okay, I will mentor you by the hand since you don't come across to understand. It's okay, illiteracy is a ordinary problem these days. I will put this in easy sections for you, with added links.
Also you and your "queer" nonsense... we are talking about gay, homosexuality. Not slurs.
About the interviews:
The Kizuna thing isn't even written by him, it's an article by another person. These books aren't written by the mangakas ever, they do not have the time nor is the article written from Kishi's pov. Shocker, people compose a lot of things in anime merchandise that the creator isn't even involved in. [link] If it were written by Kishi, then an interviewer wouldn't have had to ask Kishi years later whether brotherly relationship was what he was going for with Naruto and Sasuke's bond, and Kishi wouldn't have had given such a cryptic respond where he mulls ov
In the complicated dynamics of decisions to project narrative relationships into erotic relationships in the form of fanfiction, the dynamics of aesthetics and classical harmony may come to soul as a methodology for creating such relationships, however, by looking at the archetypical concept of the “trio” (two contrasting male protagonists with one sole female protagonist) in Naruto, Kingdom Hearts, and Invade on Titan, we can see that the dynamics of the duality of appropriation in fanfiction and resistive exploration and voice define erotic relationships based upon the objectification of male bodies via powerful power dynamics, narrative underdevelopment, and abusive relationships. These dynamics then subvert other relationships within the narrative. Through this phenomenon, we can get a enhanced understanding of the inclusion of media through fanfiction and projection of personal motivations into these fictions in relation to all to common trio archetypes, and the dually appropriative, resistive-to-normaitivty creative process of fanfiction writers to construct a communally sourced narrative that projects the canon onto the new based upon the dynam
