Spiritpact has a similar world setting and themes which are two connections to Naruto. I guess it depends if a tie with the magazine that publishes a manga (and most manga are owned by a few companies so there would be a huge amount of overlap there) is more important than the content the series espouses.

Since you haven’t heard of it before now what better way to raise awareness than the affiliation? People who like Naruto will likely feel the same about Spiritpact so you have potentially found an anime you would love that you would have otherwise never heard of. Ah, thanks for explaining, yes generally speaking affiliations are made between similar anime to let others know what to expect in them. That is a fair point about you not using the wiki’s affiliates but they are certainly a great means on Fandom since unlike other sites there is not actually a way to recommend similar series. Affiliates are also a great at building connections which is good for us and I guess for the Fandom site overall. It’s always nice to foster better relations between things after all, in my opinion.

I am sorry to hear you feel that way though I can only recommend that you watch and hopefully appreciate the series. I would also make the same valiant determined effort on behalf of Naruto if you were an admin for Spiritpact who currently felt that way. Maybe some time to reflect would be beneficial, I do hope you have a change of heart. I just think both series are amazing and hope the affiliation goes ahead.
