I understand liking a ship/character and all but… you can’t possibly be a Sasuke stan if you love this. You may like this author’s version of him, as the author themselves said it’s their version and not canon, but for Kami’s sake don’t argue with people that say he’s ooc because he is.
Kishi’s Boruto!Sasuke - doesn’t blink when his wife is transformed into another dimension by a dangerous enemy (and don’t tell me ‘he was confident in her abilities, Naruto and Sarada had spent way more time with her and they did get worried, also later he proved he has poor knowledge of her medical skills), clearly sees his wife wants to kiss him - turns away, has a freaking cell phone + messanger hawks - Sakura says he never contacts her, how hard is it to send a freaking message and ask how is she or how his actual child looks like. When he finally comes to the village - goes to Uzumaki family.
Esaka’s Sasuke - gets possessive when another guy tries to touch Sakura, wants to give her a ring, says they have this great bond (when in fact they know shit about each other)
How are these two versions supposed to represent the same character/relationship?
I’m not saying Sasuke is some cold and emotionless character, because he isn’t, but he just doesn’t show much emotion when with Sakura because they don’t have an actual bond but their child. He got shocked and hugely worried when Naruto was hit with a metal rod, although he knows damn well Naruto can heal himself in two seconds (like he did), but doesn’t blink when the enemy he and Naruto had a hard time fighting transformed Sakura in another dimension.
SS fans love this idea of ‘cold boy doesn’t show much emotion but he clearly loves this girl and they don’t see physical contact as something they need to do’ while it’s actually that Sakura is obsessed with him(and confirmed in Gaiden that she CHASED after him) and they have no physical contact because Sasuke doesn’t WANT IT, not because they don’t need it. I agree that physical contacnt isn’t the most important thing in marriage/relationship but sorry not sorry if you have a cell phone and don’t call your wife in 12+ years you clearly don’t miss her.
Sasuke is not afraid of bonding or physical contact, he just doesn’t want it with Sakura, hell even he did come to the village he goes to the Uzumaki house first and genuinely cares about Boruto’s relationship with his parents, while he let Sarada believe Sakura isn’t her real mom and doesn’t make much effort, CANON MATERIAL ONLY, to actually bond with her. Sasuke is very clear about his feelings and emotions, as we’ve seen with Naruto and Itachi, and he isn’t afraid to show them, because he doesn’t care about what people think of him. Never has he given any mixed signals that would conclude something he doesn’t actually feel, if he hates someone or loves someone, he’s gonna show it, and not he’s not gonna do that every 500 hundred chapters, you just need to pay his character attention.
Wow that was a long one, again, love the book all you want I don’t care, but don’t make Sasuke seem like something he isn’t.
(Btw thanks SS fandom for ridiculous hate comments when I reviewed the book with this same text)
