Shes a good character I respect her and your opinion...But I don't think its a good idea to make a thread about her considering your basically feeding the sakura trolls

But nice opinion :D

Sakura's job is to be the female lead of this manga (healing is just a secondary thing) and she sucks at it. She is still at the level of being compared to most side characters and fodders.
not really, without Sakura: Kankuro would be dead, Chiyo would be dead, Gaara would still be dead, ergo the sand village would be in deep shit, the Sasuke and Sai arc would have never happened, Sai's character growth would have been stunted, without Kankuro the ambush division would have lost, without Gaara the Edo kage would have gone unstopped, she discovered white zetsus impersonating soldiers- potentially saving thousands of lives. How has she not accomplished much? she contributes a lot to the plot

It's about time they take her off the manga pages, along with a few other female ninjas. They offend me.

Getting high screentime doesn't mean as much as what she does with the screentime. Seriously even team ten are getting better development than sakura even w/ less screentime. And sakura's accomplishment main character level? Nope it pales in comparism to what the main characters are achieving. You know what? I would not mind if she is introduced as a side character but she is introduced as a female lead later reduced to a side character. I would like her if she is the one that did what hinata did during pains invasion or if she is the one that snap naruto out of obito's tnj. Anyway it's kishi's fault.

I already listed the many ways she's dramatically helped the protagonists. I'll agree she has poor developmental but she definitely helps advance the story.

sexist?

Everyone seems to hate her,but yet Sakura threads are the most popular :D

because they want attention and the quick and easy way is jump on the bandwagon and join most of NB by bashing sakura

if you want to become popular easily on this website, all you have to do is fanboy the uchihas and bash sakura...the sad truth

im not saying all uchiha fanboys/fangirls are trolls but most of the trolls are from this category

Because she's Sakura.

so your jumping on the bandwagon because "she's sakura"??

Getting high screentime doesn't mean as much as what she does with the screentime. Seriously even team ten are getting better development than sakura even w/ less screentime. And sakura's accomplishment main character level? Nope it pales in comparism to what the main characters are achieving. You know what?

all main characters doesnt make the same level accomplishments, naruto does more than anyone but sasuke, kakashi and sakura are main characters too

sakura changed the war when she found out about zetsu, that alone was a MAJOR moment for sakura's character and was a quick developement because it show her intelligence to figure out what zetsu was doing. But people blew it off because sakura is hated and already doesnt get the required screentime so whenever she appears, alot of people pay it no mind and continue to bash her and it was really a tide changer of the war.

and this is just the zetsu moment, now add her medic accomplishments and you'll see that she has been very useful during the war but the hate for her character overshadows her success

Cop out? Don't give them personalities, but if someone criticizes, it's sexism? You have a limited perception.

For me it's basic. If she is a medic she is useless. Period. There is no proof that someone in another village isn't their village's version of "tsunade". There's no proof that there is another female in the alliance that is exceptionally good at medical jutsu. It cannot be proven or disproved, so as it stands she is not useful or useless. I base this off the fact that there are too many females in the series that are medical ninja. If being a medical ninja was a rare skill, then I would agree that she is useful.

But, because kishi made it clear that 70% of the femlaes in the series are healers, then her job is "mainstream" and therefore uninteresting, bland, boring, cliche, regular, , stereotypical, commonplace, platitude, dull, stale, overused, tiresome, and etc.

My whole problem is that she is exactly a medical ninja. If Kishimoto has the NERVE to call anyone a main character, then he better back it up. She better be on the same level as naruto and sasuke.

If not, then she is automatically useless. Nuff said.
If she can't jump into a battle, and help, then she's useless. Nuff said.
If she doesn't have the resolve to do what is necessary to protect the people she cares about, then she is useless. Nuff said.
If she constantly cries, then she is useless. Nuff said.
If she can't even lend help to the main character in the form of encouraging words, and yes I'm talking about chapter 615, then she is useless. Nuff said.

Nuff said. Nuff said. Nuf said.

I'll say this again, if she can ONLY heal, then she is useless. If she only has the overused stereotype of super strength then she is useless. Either kishi gives sakura, her own unique skills that is only unque to her, or she will be delegated to the background as a side character. Nuff said. So yes, sakura is bashed for doing her job. She should not be a medial ninja in the first place. She should be her own unique woman, and an example of a strong female with excellent character development, but that is not the case. She should be "sakura", not Konan, not tsunade, and not a medical ninja. She should be unique to "her". Her skills should be rare to only a few people, or completely to her.

Naruto, Jiraiya, Minato, & kakashi & konohamaru were shown using rasengan = rare skill. You don't see thousands of men doing this technique. Kakashi & Sasuke using chidori = Rare skill. You don't see thousands of men using chidori. Sakura, karin, tsunade, rin, and thousands of other fodder females using medical jutsu = Mainstream skill. It's not interesting or useful because if sakura dies, then shizune or some other fodder females can be trained by tsunade to take her place. Shizune was taught by Tsunade and she's already better than sakura in pure medical focus. So....

*If sakura cannot prove usefulness in ways that does not fulfill stereotypes, and overused cliches, then she is useless 100%*
This is not an argument...this is a fact in my opinion and it's not changing. This is just my view so don't get your panties in a bunch lol.

you clearly dont know what your talking about, so ill make this clear and simple

sakura is one of the best medics in the world for two reasons

1. the entire world is working together during the war right now, so every medic from every village is together right now...and with the expection of shizune and tsunade, sakura is still at the top of the list for important medics at the medic base

2. no one in the entire sand village could heal kankuro but sakura did it and she was the only one make an antidote for sasori's poison

and once again, fighting isnt the only way to be useful, if i wasnt for medics, fighter will be injured and unable to continuously go into battle

It's mostly the only excuse Sakura haters have. If you don't fight constantly, knock out all the bad guys and gain power-ups, you are useless. Other excuses about not being able to kill Sasuke or crying a lot, but Naruto did the same thing. Sakura is more than that and far more complex, but that's not what people want so they call her useless.

Neji gained the same title for most of part 2, then he died saving Hinata and Naruto, now he's praised, as well as Lee for cutting through Madara.

Until Sakura does something epic like that, this cycle of pointless, immature hate will never end.

Agreed, she is a great support ninja. As a main character? I think she lacks. But that is Kishi's fault.

She is'nt bashed for that.
Its just because she friendzoned Naruto that everyone hates her ( and rightfully so ).

Her personality destroys her character completely.

I do dislike portions of her personality. I extremely dislike how she is still in love with the murderous, Sasuke.

Sasuke does seem to be the big problem here, I noticed when people mistook that recent panel with Ino thinking of him as a sign she still loved him, they began bashing her, too.
