Would the series be less popular with a Girl Naruto?

It would be more popular. Probably would have surpassed One Piece if Kishi was willing to do fanservice.
B-But what about the incel sperg lords who can't self insert as a girl?
Probably

>male lead is also best girl
So much wasted potential.
Considering that there's a series in which during their 3rd season they decided to try and push a female co-protagonist and ratings immediately fell off, it's not very likely it would have caught on due to it not appealing to young boys.
shoenen is about relating to masculinity, so yeah a woman would be off mark
>Screaming about how much you want your male friend (who you kissed) to come back to you is somehow masculine
fujos wouldn't like it anymore because they wouldn't be baited in by the barely-contained homolust between sasgay (he's so cool) and naruhodo. the whole reason sakura looks like a man is to try to trick them but it didn't work nobody liked the gorilla.
fpbp
Genderbended Team seven with a male Sakura as protagonist would have been Kino
Pure cancer

>worst girl gets the best theme
It's not fair bros...
Shit taste
considering how he treated cuckura what makes you think if naruto was a girl s/he would have fared any better?
>considering how he treated cuckura what makes you think if naruto was a girl s/he would have fared any better?
He wanted to fuck Sakura because he's straight and she's a girl. Girl Naruto would want to fuck Sasuke instead and would probably be another Fangirl. Her relationship with Sakura would be like Sakura's and ino's: friends but rivals
>naruto is a girl
>sasuke is a cringy fag
>basically the whole story as before but with the gender change of naruto
>basically at the end naruto friendzoning sasuke after being on his tail for most of the story
>Naruto retire as Hinata-kun's wife
That would kinda work
Yes.
If Girl Naruto was released back in 1999 (technically 1997) it would have probably flopped or got cancelled after like 5 years, or maybe survived but would have been rather under the radar.
At least it probably wouldn't have been popular enough to probably make it to western shores.
It would have been especially shit if Naruto was the only gender flip.
A bullied girl trying to bring back her emo male asshole friend, whom she would presumably be in love with? Nope.
And if it was completely gender flipped, I don't even think it would work.
Hinato as a pussy man in love with Naruta, and and a 2 to 1 ratio of women to men? Nope.
It might have been popular now-a-days, but it would wear off like Medaka Box or Senran Kagura.
No way it would have survived back in 1999.
Definitely wouldn't have made it abroad.
They would lewd her instead
T.incel sperglord
Sasuke was the designated self insert of the series.
But that would require Kishimoto to write a female lead, which we know he can't do
It would of flopped
Hinata dies and Naruto marries Neji instead
nah.. i mean ranma was popular
They're different materials. Ranma was a love and romance-focused story as well as being a bit of a shonen battle manga, so the female mc worked.
Naruto is a girl, so Sasuke becomes edgy asshole love interest bent on killling Itachi and there's a ton of sexual tension between them until they try to murder eachother for a few years. Sakura becomes a rival in love but gives up when he leaves the village. Rather than the super girly version of Naruto I imagine a tomboyish character.
Jiraiya is a much more uncomfortable character, maybe Neji falls in love with Naruto instead of Hinata and Hinata is a bitch instead of a shy girl?
Oh also in the second half we get busty short haired Naruto becoming the 9 tailed fox Goddess from our dreams.
I dont get genderbender.
Why cant we all just appreciate naruto as he is and not have to turn him into a girl to be able to wank to him?
What if it was yandere sasuke
Naruto was literally willing to abandon Hinata, his children, and the village to be a hobo with Sasuke.
Fem Naruto would never settle down with anybody BUT Sasuke.
>99% of female Naruto art is just Sexy Jutsu wearing his clothes
Real fucking inventive. There needs to be more tomboy genderswap.
This guy gets it. I'm fine with wanking to him just as he is.
Bullshit
Lol, fem naruto would be arguably worse than Sakura when it comes to loving Sasuke. Fem Naruto would literally worship his dick.
A yandere regular sauce? Well it would completely change the whole "Naruto chasing Sasuke" dynamic and that is like 75% of the series so it's really hard to tell
Yeah, it'd be less popular.
But it'd probably be more popular if a different male character was the MC instead like Kiba, Lee or maybe even Shikamaru
Or Sasuke maybe, surely he would be the obviois choice here
Honestly, if Naruto was a girl and Sasuke was still a guy, I would call Naruto a typical woman for chasing the bad boy and I would hate it.
Also, I probably wouldn't watch the series to begin with because i was 8 when I started watching and if the main character was a girl I would have thought it was a girls show like Winx club. Thank god Naruto wasn't a girl. I wouldn't mind if Sasuke was a girl though, because then it would be a story about undying love
>Got away with literally everything
>Got bullshit power ups out the ass
>Special snowflake eyes.
fpbp
would've been the biggest fish in the industry had naruto been a girl. it's funny because kishi admitted he can't write women, but all he had to do was slap a sports bra on naruto every time he had his shirt off and he'd have written the most popular tomboy in history. none of the dialogue or characterization had to change; none of the other characters would have to interact with girl naruto differently. maybe a slightly wider waist, 2 slightly defined breasts, and boom: hundreds of millions of additional starbucks.
hindsight's 20/20
I-is this /u/?
If Sasuke was a girl the shitposting about the character would be even worse. People already call Sasuke insane and irrational and hated his betrayal of the village. If it was a woman people would say she's a stereotypical overly emotional female on top of that.
you forgot that during the Chunin exams, Kishi said that Sasuke was way more fun to write than Naruto
>cute lesbian ninjas save the world
I like
I honestly see your point but 99% of Fanfics are about NARUTO being an epic GOD who gets WIMMENZ
If sasuke was a girl she'd have to literally become a breeding mare to revive the clan
I would not mind
Not the issue here, imagine writing that. When team 7 introduces themselves Sasuke's all like "i will kill my brother and revive my clan!" How would Satsuki handle this? "U-Uhm i will kill my brother and then get impregnated like 12 times!"
Kiba would definitely bring in the furry audience
A breeding mare for Itachi?
Would you fuck Naruto if there is a chance of him accidentally undoing his illusion in the middle of sex?
Now what if Naruko was actually Sasuke's dream girl?
Possibly, we don't know how a female Sasuke would react to Itachi. Though who's the breeder doesn't really matter
Doubtful, Sasuke would definitely be Naruto's dream guy though
Would Naruto let me fuck her?
He's too weak to be protagonist. His clan would have to be massively buffed for it to work
Yes and it'd still be shit.
>What is Soul Eater?
Would still be pretty based
What about pairings? It would be too confusing
Sakura is a female self-insert for the shoujo audience and literally a fujo.
Which proves a male Sakura + female Naruto/Sasuke would work as a Shounen
Not really, it wouldn't translate well because Kishi wrote Sakura with women in mind. Most men cannot relate to Sakura's behavior at all. You'd have to heavily rewrite that character for the male audience in mind.
imagine if naruto was a girl and the whole show was just her crying about her lost love and getting wet whenever he showed up to tell her to fuck off.
would be really hot.
Karin is more of a self insert than Sakura,at least they don't hate Karin.
A male Sakura would already be different from a female one though. Crush on Sasuke being the same, everywhere else he would be different. Boys have different requirments upon them, you can't just be a useless fangirl(boy). Male sakura would be base Naruto tier
Better than what we have now
Fanfiction exists of that user.
If Naruto was a girl,it would have been shoujo ninja manga.
The bigger question is: If Sasuke was a girl, would Hinata stand a chance?
Hell the fuck no.
Hinata never stood a chance anyway, kishimoto literally pushed her in at the end of the manga. The fact that people didn't complain more is suprising
Hinata wouldn’t have even been on the radar.
Yeah, things would be different just based on the genderswap alone. Much about Sakura would be utterly repulsive in a guy. Shit on a cute girl that's interested in him, be a complete simp to an edgy bitch that tries to kill him, break up with your best bro over this ho, cry about being more useless than two girls.
>Hinata never stood a chance anyway
Only if it was going Brokeback Mountain. Kishi didn't have the titanium balls for that.
Right, male Sakura would unironically date female naruto. Males work differently from females
hinata barely won out over sasuke with him being a dude.
This is also a good point. If Naruto was so crazy about Sauce as a guy, he would be straight out obsessed if sauce was a girl
This would be the case for a number of shonen manga, because the relationships between males are more passionate than the ones with females. It's what hooks the fujoshi to begin with.
women can't into rival/comrade dynamic so just ship them as faggots
