My first time defending Sakura. (Character Development)

[Solo]

So true, look at all the One Piece characters. There all developed far more and far better than in Naruto.

OP is a free roam world. Naruto is a stationed world. I can't speak beyond this as I don't watch/read OP.

I wish if the dislike button is still there lol.

indeed.

agree, One Piece is far above naruto in terms of character development and other things.

I'm talking about each character that joined the crew. They each had a detailed flash back and a full arc to go along with it.

 

[Konohas gelber Blitz]

Neji's character development was done. Only problem was Kishi missed an opportunity to show how much Neji has character had developed. By not having Neji meet his dead when the Kabuto's Edo Tensei was in play.

I won't say done. This was just the beginning of his development. He was a kid and changed his way of thinking but in NS and I totally agree with your statement that Kishi missed an opportunity to show how much Neji has character had developed.

 

[Dissonant Values]

Kishi has always sucked in the character development department.

Debatable...I'm no Itachi lover, but his development was flawless.

Yeah, you're probably right. Her life is boring, so there's really nothing to touch on. Whereas, Sasuke and Naruto, and lots of other shinobi have actually been through real sh!t, they've felt pain, anguish and an immense need to define themselves after such hurt. Sakura doesn't know any of that. The only thing she'd ever gain is strength, and watching her gain it would be boring, as there wouldn't be any pay off, heck she doesn't even have a really powerful reason to want to seek strength. Kishi tried with the "saving Sasuke, easing Naruto's pain", her rivalry with Ino, and trying to establish a concept of worth built around her strength. But it all failed. And it doesn't matter. Because really, Naruto and Sasuke are the perfect pair. Their identities work in sync, and the alterations made in the manga to support each character formed the best possible version of Naruto and events. It's true.

Naruto's scale adjusted to match each character's (Naruto and Sasuke) paths. It was all built around them and THEIR development. The rest of K11 really had no chance because this manga really isn't about them.

 

[darkprince]

Even she never experienced pain of sasuke or naruto level but still she seems to understand them very well in shippuden.I think its included in character development.

@ bold, yeah because having your family killed is fun :|

If anything she had a good life.

Really? You can't determine how something is written contextually?

Pointless reply.

Nevertheless, I'd love to have my family mutilated. I'd be on cloud nine

*sigh*

You said she had a boring life. So if she had a life like Naruto and Sasuke who's family died her life would of been fun? (opposite of "boring", is "fun", derp).

That's what your saying. It doesn't make sense.

I said that in comparison to Naruto and Sasuke her life is uneventful. It doesn't evoke as much interest, in other words, it's dull from a narrative perspective in the context of Naruto.

Which is part of the reason she doesn't receive as much character development as the more complex characters.

Glad you cleared up the confusion.

No problem.

 

[Nakamazi Itchigo]

She isn't useless, she's incompetent..that's all I have to say about her Zzz

 

[Silverforsakenhamster]

It's character development if Sasuke actually loves her back.

 

[fayeon]

I don't want sakura to have a great clan so she can have character development She won't be sakura anymore

I just want her to get rid of her weakness (emotions )

And have new jutsus as well (genjutsu or Summon)

If kishi give team 7 more moments like in the old days it would be a lot better too

Kishi has always sucked in the character development department.

I agree with that not only sakura every character in naruto

compared to other chounin animes naruto is a shame

 

[Totsuka gg Amaterasu gg]

what a terrible thread

 

[Joshutsu]

I would say chiyo dying was sad for her but she didn't know her that long. I've always tried to tell people this though, they often say 'oh if sakura gets a powerup it will be such an ass pull it won't save her development'. Highly false Sakura as a character i would say development wise has had a ok bit of it.

A power up is not farfetched they don't have to show everytime someone develops a new jutsu or all of that jazz. Off panel with a flashback is just as good. She needs to have some form of character growth at least.

 

[FatalChakra]

He probably has no experience with woman.

Yeah, probably
