I started watching Naruto as a teenager and then finished it in my mid 20s. Watching Naruto and Hinata in the last episode was like watching a childhood friend get married while leaving you and his bachelor days behind.

I wouldn't say Naruto is my favourite anime or even the best anime out there. But it happened to be the one I grew up with and got attached to. Honestly, a bit of an underwhelming last season for Naruto. Lots of fillers, and the Kaguya and Exploding Humans arcs were quite boring.

The big underlying lesson for me is that love conquers all. The relationships that you form with people are all that matter. Value them.

Indra and Asura (Ep 420)
A very interesting episode that goes into the lore and world-building of Naruto. Indra and Asura, and therefore Sasuke and Naruto, represent a lot of the dualities we see in life.

Indra - Talent determines success. Our destinies are predetermined.
Asura - Hard work determines success. Our destinies are shaped.

Indra - Wisdom says we are nothing. Every human is alone.
Asura - Love says we are everything. Every human is connected to the world.

Indra - Power rules the world. Life is suffering and everyone is selfish.
Asura - Love rules the world. Life is joy and everyone loves everybody.
