@Eric Still, even that ignores development. How the hell does someone fall in love with a girl after not giving a &#^* about her in a matter of seconds? The apology may have meant a lot, but then again Kishi also chose to ignore things previously laid on the table shortly before, like the lifetime promise (Ch. 693) and the forehead comment (alluded to in 699 - unless Sasuke's daydreaming about Itachi again).

@Bambusek Agree, though with other pairings (which I can't mention) there was at least development on both sides. You yourself say that the others are one-sided. As for DB, we didn't need a hardcore romance when we had Goku and Gohan's parental bond.

Eventually, things really don't add up to one another in numerous ways. Like it or not, the movie will have to clear things up since it's the only thing that can. Kishi's putting emphasis on romance anyways.
