I now understand why Kishimoto never settled on an outfit for Temari
She’s surprisingly difficult to style
An unspoken “rule” of this little design exercise is to create outfits based on their main look. So I had to pick just one of Temari’s, and I’ve always liked her black and red kimono from early Shippuden. It’s classy and stylish as all heck, and black was just made for Temari.
(Side note, I actually really love how many outfits Temari got to wear, despite not liking them all. To me it just read as her being fashionable and stylish, and wanting to experiment with her look. Plus I love a tough girl with traditionally feminine interest, and it’s never considered a bad thing. Temari, I salute you)
And again
Like every other girl in the series
Temari got fucking ROBBED
She was incredible in Part 1, actually allowed to have fight scenes and be a power house. And then Shippuden rolled around and we never saw her. It’s such a shame.
I don’t have a proper idea for her story yet, all I do know is that I want her to stick around longer. Develop her and Shikamaru as a potential couple. Have her inspire the other girls like Ino. Have her fight Hidan alongside Shikamaru maybe, that would have a nice buildup. Maybe have her apologize and reconcile with Tenten after snapping her back in the Chunin exams?
Could also be interesting to explore her trauma from having Gaara as a brother, idk the potential is there.
She’s just another case of a good character being lost in a series that’s overstuffed with them. I guess I’m at least grateful we got Temari being amazing in Part 1, which is more than any of the other girls got throughout the entire run-time.
