I am not one-sided, I was only speaking about a certain thing. Of course I could've made an essay about the meanings behind Kakashi's talk with Obito as well, but that seems to be on everyone's lips, doesn't it?
What do you define by character potential, if you don't mind me asking?
Just curious.
Potential for further development. I don't know if you read One Piece, but one of the things Oda is extremely good at is creating character potential. He has made so many brilliant characters with extreme potentials for many great future chapters. And many times he brilliantly succeeds with using these potentials in future chapters. An example is Hatchan who once was an enemy, and later shows up, and plays a big role in the story by affecting Luffy and Nami very deeply!
Kishi has created many great character potentials in part 1, but when he was introducing Akatsuki and his entire (but brilliant!) plot, he kinda failed at using these potentials and turning them into something great (the characters created in part 1, that is)!
Surely Sakura had much screen time, but yet it was usually in awkward situations. To me it would have been great, if Kishi had developed Sakura further, after all she was Tsunade's pupil, we could have expected more chapters for her, where she perhaps learned some new jutsu or whatever, and perhaps Tsunade and her would have a serious talk about Sasuke, so we could get Sakura to open up, having her entire character potential widely opened before us. That would have so much benefit for the story, as Kishi later used her feelings towards Sasuke as a big deal in the story, and I am sure it ain't over yet.
I am not trying to defend Sakura, I am showing a part of her role, meaning and such in the manga. Different terms. Mad? Sorry if I disappoint by saying no. It's not like I don't hear this every time. I don't go with the herd, usually, so no, worng again.
It's not an opinion based statement, if it would have been, I wouldn't have had manga panels to do so. It's more of a factual opinion, given how everything in this manga connects. You just have to be observant enought to see.
It seems like you didn't get my point about medical ninjutsu. And it's an opinion based on childish misbehavior, if you ask me, as all-through-out manga can prove wrong to the ones who call her different ways. Useless? She's not. The fact that she doesn't have all this arsenal of flashy jutsus it's more of a matter of personal preferences. But that doesn't make her useless.
As for the hate for Sakura... I wonder how many of you know from where this whole madness started. I bet you don't, because you just went with the flow. But that's another thing.
Nope. Manga "facts" about medical ninjutsu does not make people's opinion about it "false", since there is always something better to compare with. Kishi ended up creating a power difference between staring characters to be way too big, so either you are among them, or you are trash. That is why some would call Sakura "fodder". I mean, her healing can't compare to Naruto's anymore even, given he has Kurama chakra, the key characters just keep being developed, and the bi-characters are left behind, as I said above. Sad IMO.
Well enlighten me, if you are so sure, when that "madness" started? It's not possible for any person to get any detail of the manga after all. Personally I think it came during the chunin exam and the cursed seal on Sasuke. Team 7 truly experienced some hard things there, and got bonded in a different way, although the part, where she wasn't able to "stop" Sasuke (in her own terminology) plays a big role too.
Her speech already did. Encouraged the whole Shinobi Alliance, or at least, the remaining ones, and made them fight. But it isn't about what much it will do, this was about the implications and meanings behind it, which, it seems you didn't get it.
How should we know Naruto knew since nothing like this was shown to us? Plus, it seems you don't know Naruto's character that much... But, I'd rather not get into it.
Lol, you are quite offensive. Hope I didn't offend you, that was not the point of my reply. However, the implications of her speech was quite obvious.. And you did put much detail in describing it, though you might overanalyzing a bit in some cases, but that is just my opinion, so nvm that.
Naruto knew, first of all due to the way he replied to Minato.
Second of all, Madara felt Hashirama's chakra. I'm pretty sure Naruto can match his sensor abilities. We already saw, how great a sensor he has become (again the key-char getting developed every time, here again I could have wanted someone else to be the sensor for him perhaps... nvm).
3rd, Naruto posses the ability to sense people's attentions, so he probably already knows, that they come in will to help him, yeah even Sasuke too.
4th, Naruto is stupid, but when it comes to protecting his friends - even if you think I don't understand his character, it is you, who don't! Naruto was already told, that casualties cannot be avoided! I think both Neji and Hinata made it clear to him how important it was, that he regained his chakra, so they would have a chance to stop the Juubi.
By using all his chakra on defending his friends, he would eventually end up with the Juubi killing all of them anyway.
He already realized this! But if there was just a slight opportunity to stop people from dying, he would take it, and that is why he is defending them, cause he sensed backup coming. Else it doesn't make sense. But lets wait and see
In the eyes of the fans... well, you do hold some truth there. In the eyes of the fans probably means nothing, however, in the eyes of those who truly read and analyze this manga will probably mean. And a lot. Because, as I already said, this speech holds many great implications and allusions at the overall manga and it's meaning/message to be conveyed.
Possibly, but I do not agree to the same extent. Surely its implications are good, but I don't think its effect will not be as important.
