Why is Sakura bashed for doing her job??

[Lana Del Taka]

Of course that's what the problemis, what else could it be? She didn't get as much development as the other main characters and that's why she's worthless and weak compared to them.

So going by your logic everyone besides people like naruto, sasuke, obito, etc... are worthless?
OT: nice thread, i agree

 

[~Sovereign~]

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.

i agree

neji was a fighter in the first place, so people hated him because kishimoto ruined his character from part 1

sakura was never a fighter from the beginning so she became a medic, yet she still fought sasori and still didnt get praised, sakura is just hated

i think some people still hate her from part 1, but you'll be surprised how many people dont even hate sakura, ALOT of people just jump on the bandwagon to get + reps

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

she has accomplished enough to be a main character

its just the fact that she doesnt get alot of screentime and kishi kinda messed up her developement but like i said, she still accomplishes alot

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.

people mostly hate her for not helping fight, but thats not her job

and the most dumbest thing people do is hate her for crying......smh

That's exactly what I think, too and I've seen proof of it myself that hating Sakura is an "in" thing for attention and rep.

 

[xCrystalChidorix]

My problems with Sakura are mainly the facts that:
1.) she never really seems to get over Sasuke and
2.) outside of her healing abilities and brief moments of true determination that actually lead to something productive, she's either been useless or a hindrance

However, what bothers me even more than that is the fact that a lot of her fans like to pair her up with every freaking person in the whole show. Now, I'm not accusing every Sakura fan of doing this, but I have literally seen her paired with the ENTIRE Akatsuki, Kabuto, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Minato, MADARA....I swear it's only a matter of time before somebody slaps her into a picture with Hashirama tangled up together under some sheets. -________-'

not getting over sasuke isnt really a big deal to me, its not easy to just say "f*ck it" to a big crush and teammate

sakura isnt a hindrance, she had like one or two incidents maybe but she getting more and more independent

idk who pairs sakura with those people lol

 

[Melanee]

I'd also like to add that when people say they don't like how she treats Naruto, it is meant as comic relief. Misty did the same thing to Ash in Pokemon, Kagome would "sit" Inuyasha, Akane was violent with Ranma, Bulma always picked on Goku, it's a Japanese theme.

When Sasuke was trashing Naruto, Sakura glared at Sasuke and defended Naruto. She did not agree with Sasuke or smack Naruto's head, she was angry at Sasuke.

Even though she's made mistakes, Sakura has a good heart and a strong will. If you exclude the violent comic relief, she is a strong young woman who loves her friends very much.

i agree 110%

i argued with someone about this before, they hated sakura for hitting naruto but its for comedy

 

[staticdash22]

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

Failed response is failed.
1. You provided no logical, coherent argument to back up your claim. Where are these super feats that she's achieved being a medic? Bring factual, prominent feats to the table, not fallible & fallacious arguments like your opinions.

2. Fighting is the only way to be useful....period. Nuff said, oh and you mad?
She didn't help defeat the 7 swordsman, she defeated a zetsu and EVEN TEN TEN defeated a zetsu, let alone she helped take down kakuzu. I thought sakura knew naruto better than anyone? LMAO. I thought she was on his team long enough to know what he's all about. I though she had a big mouth like kushina? I thought she liked to hit people? So, why when naruto was being torn down by obito and about to cry, she couldn't be the one to "slap" him. I thought she liked hitting people? I thought she had a "crazy" personality? Doesn't she like to open her big ass mouth all day long? Wshe remind naruto of his ninja way?

Lmao. You know what, I've got a proposition for you. Listen here: I'll agree with everything you said if you can answer this one question:

Why wasn't sakura the one that could empower naruto? If she's not useful in battle, and we don't see her heal that much during the war, she could at ;east empower th main character. She is in fact, the main heroine(sorry, I almost spit out my drink in laughter trying to type that). If you can tell me why Kishimoto did not choose to make her useful in that moment. And no, I'm not accepting a "he wanted to give hinata time to shine" or "she will have a role later on" or "she was just shocked" or "she couldn't move because she had a job to do".

Bring an actual coherent response....I'm waiting.....*arms folded*

I can answer that, Neji's death had nothing to do with Sakura. It was about Hinata's love for Naruto and her reaction to the loss of Neji, and she knew what his words meant, because Neji knew of Hinata's feeling for Naruto since part 1. Sakura had no place in that moment because she barely knew Neji. If it was Sai or Kakashi, then if it was still Hinata helping him, I'd agree with you. Hinata said a long time ago she wanted to stand by Naruto's side and hold his hand, and that's what finally happened.

 

[OfficialRikudouSennin]

Just plain old useless. _.

 

[Pervy Wrath]

I've always loved her character. Sure, her love for Sasuke can be a bit annoying, but that's it, for me at least. Kishimoto just doesn't use her that well

I never said that getting over Sasuke was easy, because hell, if you wanna go that way, neither has Naruto. I suppose what I meant was more towards the way she goes about not getting over him. She's insanely weak about it. Naruto uses Sasuke as a driving force to do better and become stronger. Sakura...well, her feelings for Sasuke just seem to hold her back. Like in chapters 539 and 540:

I mean granted, I'm not saying that she should've jumped into the guys arms and ran off saying, "OMGERD LEZ GIT HITCHED BBY!111!!!" Honestly, the guy might not have even been her type....but she's so hung up on Sasuke romantically that she can't even SEE other people? Ridiculous.

Yes, I'll admit. Sakura has been helpful in certain situations. Like when she fought Sasori with Chiyo. But there's a lack of consistency in her helpfulness...or....rather a lack of consistency in the way Kishi portrays her helpfulness.

When she fought Sasori and saved Kankuro, that was extremely heroic and very useful and she was very determined about it. But, mostly, like in chapters 539 and 540, she's seen helping with her medical skills (which is wonderful), but it's not really called to attention. The main focus is somewhere else, and her talent goes unnoticed. Her importance to the story is really weak for a main character if you ask me.

And yeah, I don't know who's creating these crack pairings with her either. I mean, people have to right to enjoy whatever couple that the stretch of the imagination can possibly come up with, but...really? U_U

quit getting mad, he clearly brought actual responses unlike you who just went on an incoherent rant about nothing. You were clearly being beaten in your faulty premise of Sakura being useless because she doesn't fight very often, so you started crying.

[MissShakra]

good thread, but alas certain individuals will never be convinced otherwise. i cant wait for the day kishi has her doing something physically in the manga that tops all the other characters besides our OP main characters.

shes done alot and shes obviously important and going to be more important as the manga goes on. shes accomplished alot considering theres only been like a week or so going on in the war. actually, ino, hinata, sai, sakura, shikamaru and choji are the only ones whose done pretty cool things so far (i know some of the other village ninja have done stuff but im mainly referring to k9)

 

[Dreckerplayer]

/post



she doesnt suck at fighting, she did good against sasori



so you want every character to be a fighter, but too bad this is kishimoto's manga and wants medics and he said medics wont engage in battles, which is why sakura doesnt fight




why? because i compared it to real life?? lol

you hate a drawing just like i talk about a drawing....your point??

I'm not concerned about other medics, it's just Sakura, a supporting character, who we basically grew up with, is NOT showing ANY improvement in her taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjustu(which she apparently had an affinity for). She has character development, and she has fans.It's not fair to them that she's not been given any real one on one battles!

It was unfair for her to even become a medical ninja, who does very little in the manga!

 

[Aresfour]

Sakura's personality is just.. a clear bytch. i dont care if she's strong or weak. i just hate her for the way she talks, thinks and does.

sakura hitting naruto is put some comedy and fun in the manga/anime, naruto is not harmed at all, smh

sakura didnt hit naruto when obito was talking to him, simply because kishimoto was developing hinata's character because neji just died

I can answer that, Neji's death had nothing to do with Sakura. It was about Hinata's love for Naruto and her reaction to the loss of Neji, and she knew what his words meant, because Neji knew of Hinata's feeling for Naruto since part 1.

explain to me how saving people lives is useless

I've always loved her character. Sure, her love for Sasuke can be a bit annoying, but that's it, for me at least. Kishimoto just doesn't use her that well

thats her biggest problem, no screentime

but thats kishimoto's fault, nothing we can do about that

i agree but let me state this:

EVERY main character has some type of weakness or thing about them (and now all 4 are trying to fix their problems)

naruto - he's selfish and tries to do EVERYTHING by himself, but now, he's starting to accept teamwork more and more

sasuke - he's driven by revenge and wants everything to go his way, but now, he's talking to the kages to see if he can changfe his mind about revenge

kakashi - he's kinda regretting his life with how he failed his teammates, but now, he's getting more and more confident and all thats left for kakashi is to know why he killed rin, im sure he has a good reason

and sakura - we all know sakura's biggest personal problem is her emotions, but now we have to wait and see what kishimoto has in store for sakura, sakura seems to be getting more and more fed up about sasuke and showing her emotions little by little because everytime she thinks about sasuke she gets mad or depressed and that isnt healthy, and eventully she will snap out of it and i see it happening soon

quit getting mad, he clearly brought actual responses unlike you who just went on an incoherent rant about nothing. You were clearly being beaten in your faulty premise of Sakura being useless because she doesn't fight very often, so you started crying.

he's just mad because i proved him wrong but simply stating basic knowledge, i didnt have to post links because its basic knowledge straight from the manga lol

then he starts to call the manga wrong AND go on a person rant, this only proves he cant handle the truth

good thread, but alas certain individuals will never be convinced otherwise. i cant wait for the day kishi has her doing something physically in the manga that tops all the other characters besides our OP main characters.

shes done alot and shes obviously important and going to be more important as the manga goes on. shes accomplished alot considering theres only been like a week or so going on in the war. actually, ino, hinata, sai, sakura, shikamaru and choji are the only ones whose done pretty cool things so far (i know some of the other village ninja have done stuff but im mainly referring to k9)

i agree, some people cant be convinced but i still wanted to point this out to the people that has a brain and can comprehend a character

sakura has changed the war when she figured out the zetsu sstrategy and she is still healing people, she already did her job and the war isnt over but people are blind to the facts

I'm not concerned about other medics, it's just Sakura, a supporting character, who we basically grew up with, is NOT showing ANY improvement in her taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjustu(which she apparently had an affinity for). She has character development, and she has fans.It's not fair to them that she's not been given any real one on one battles!

It was unfair for her to even become a medical ninja, who does very little in the manga!

And i agree...mostly

Sakura isnt developed very good by kishimoto but that doesnt make her a support character, like i said before, sakura's accomplishments are main character status, the problem with sakura's character is the fact that kishimoto does give her screentime and upgrades as much as the other main characters and THAT is what makes people blind to her success of medic jutsu and accomlishments in general.

sakura was suppose to have genjutsu by now but just because kishimoto hasnt given it to her doesnt mean people should bash the abilities she gained instead

Sakura's personality is just.. a clear bytch. i dont care if she's strong or weak. i just hate her for the way she talks, thinks and does.

i disagree but this is your opinion and you can think what you want to
