Minato is one of the best characters, so I'm pretty excited for this.

Manga 1-Shot About Naruto's Father Slated for July 18


He's the most voted character worldwide and you relegate him to "Naruto's father"? He has a name. People know the name. They know who he is. So why not say his name? He's been in the story since chapter 1.

"Naruto Manga 1-Shot About Minato Namikaze Slated for July 18"

Was that too hard of a title? The Mantan Web source you linked did a better title than you with "Naruto: The story of Minato Namikaze, Naruto's father, in the 55th anniversary issue of 'Jump'......". So you intentionally removed his name.

From this point on, I'm expecting every Naruto article title about a important highly known character not named Naruto to be labeled "Naruto's friend", "Naruto's therapist", "Naruto's Dry Cleaner", "Naruto's son", etc. with no name included.

Just for this comment I'm bribing everyone on staff to refer to him as Boruto's Grandpa.

Voted in by fans of the series who already know him.

Minato was not named in the manga until chapter 239.

Is there some kind of public collection pool for that bribe? Could be an excellent source of future revenue for ANN.

Talk about making such a big fuss about such an ultimately pointless detail, jeez. It's just a title, not the end of the world.

Um I've watched Naurto up to the Pain arc and I'm kinda glad they used the father title since most of the side characters with not enough screen/page time I've forgotten their names. Hell I sometimes need to go the One Piece wiki because the sheer amount of side characters that get reintroduced.
