Will of Useless
Hello there NB members, today I’m going to break down Kishimoto’s Will of Useless. Feel free to add traits and personalities that I might have missed. Thank you

• Centralized around a male character
If the female said character is following/talking –about/or has talked about constantly about this “male” character with him not being around (or when he is around, which then makes it worse)

• Stalking another character (Outside of Missions)
If said female character stalks/follows another character in the series, without the person’s knowledge or doing so. In which the female character watches silently over them as a hawk waiting for its prey.

• Catchphrases; -dattabayo, Shannaro, etc
Now I know what you are thinking. “The main character, his son, and his parents have that catch phrase. They aren’t useless” Well when a character uses a catch phrase it usually binds them to a state of never-ending fulfillment in which they will presumably have traits of their forefathers, who have said that catch phrase (usually). Leaving them to be unoriginal, bland, and not surprising in most actions that they will do. However, they will leave a sense of nostalgia, but only if we have seen their ‘forefathers’ act the same way.
Ex. Bolt saying –dattabase
Ex. Salad saying - Shannaro

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a character has more than two of these traits, then it already is too late.

What do you expect? Most good characters in the show are the same.

Sasuke, Nagato, Jiraiya, Naruto, Itachi, Tobi (Not Obito Lol), Madara, and Kakashi are all good characters who aren't alike (varying)

I meant "good" as in against "evil".

Naruto, Hashirama, Minato, and Jiraiya are all very similar.

OT; Powers aside, their characters are still original.
I didn't list all of them: Tsunade (Before we knew about Dan, but she wasn't even revolving around him), Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Danzo (Interesting guy you have to admit), Minato, Kushina (Whoever compares her to Sakura ... lost their mind. Kushina is a woman who exhibits a motherly feeling),etc

I see what you mean.

Sakura does compare to Kushina though, Kushina's husband himself confirmed it.

She looks similar, has a similar personality, and now that Sakura is a mother she also exhibits that motherly feeling. ;)

What?
Sakura near Kushina is understandable for their hot temper. However, Kushina's character is humble/sweet/and a bit shy. Sakura is a bit rash/outgoing/and emotional

They are similar in terms of their "temper", but Sakura is a carbon copy of Tsunade. Not Kushina.

Nothing about Sakura in Chapter 700 makes me think of her as a mother. She honestly looks like she is babysitting.

What? First, that line really irritated me.
Sasuke will never, ever, EVER, be on the same level of Minato. Minato, however is on a league of his own in terms of being; Kage, Father, and Husband. Please, do not mock his name again by comparing him to Sasuke. Not even Naruto has reached that level of love and care for his own child, and under those circumstances too. I cannot believe such blasphemy.

lol calm down I didn't compare Sasuke to Minato, I only compared Sakura to Kushina. But now that you mentioned it Sasuke really does compare to Minato both in terms of looks and calm and coolness, they are both geniuses and have similar wives.

Look at my last post again I included the parallels for Sakura and Kushina.

lol at the babysitting comment, we saw her as mother taking care of her child, she welcomed her home and talked about her guy issues, these are things mothers do.

Sasuke being calm and collected does not equal him being near to Minato. Sigh, please. Kakashi and Itachi are Minato too I guess. Everyone is a Minato. Even Naruto is a Minato when he fought VOTE2 with his calm demeanor about not wanting to kill his best friend.

Anyway, no she isn't. I'll just give you two examples in how these two characters are different;

Kushina; Got picked on in the Academy. Beat up people to the floor, and told them she would become Hokage
Sakura; Got picked on in the academy. Started crying and Ino helped her, never had any dreams that existed outside of Sasuke.

Note how Sakura would only hit Naruto because they were close, yet Kushina was totally different with her anger. I'm not even getting into the deep stuff unless you REALLY want me to discuss it.


Two absolutely different characters here. Having one or two similar traits is common in literature. You just need to know how easy it is to depict the real, between the former.

Well of course not every single detail of their characters is the same, but they still share many similarities like I displayed earlier.

Sakura is the closest character to Kushina in this manga.

Also Sasuke is more similar to Minato then the others, he looks a lot like him and he maintains a cool demeanor like him, they are both geniuses and also have similar wives.

I. A lot of character share similarities. Though what defines them, makes them different.

II. No. Under that logic, Tsunade is also the closest character to Kushina in the manga too. Minato compared Sakura to Kushina by her temper, but I applaud those who believe "temper" define Kushina/Sakura as characters. That'll be sad

III. ...What Itachi/Kakashi/Hiruzen/Hashirama/Hell even Naruto are all cool and collected in battle. + The rest of the Uchiha's who are all displayed as being "cool"/ Villians too

Kishi and his damn paralolz XD

Endles is right about Kushina/Sakura, it was made this way so the red herring would work with the narsak plague but in term of powers, you are right Sakura is just a bad carbon copy of Tsunade.


i think it's a lack of motivation and imagination sometimes but oh well it's too late to change anything, look at Boruto and Sarada, they are just like their daddies Lol

Bolt to me is like his father/Early young Konohamaru. He also does facial expressions, sulks, and just carries himself in a way that is not like his father. The way he dresses in black/red too, he just seems a bit darker. A brat XD

Salada is definitely like her mother/father. I can see Sasuke's cold like demeanor, so I'm thinking she'll be a tsundere. Though she never talked in class. So is she quiet?

I really hope Kishimoto makes her more Sasuke than Sakura, however this Shannaro thing is bugging me.

How does that hug make them the same character?

Exactly. They all have the same temper, but that doesn't make them the same characters. I hate when people use that to justify their similarties, when they are both entirely different.

Tsunade/Sakura/Kushina when angered - Beat the shit out of someone, usually a guy.

They are not the same characters, but they are very similar, Kishi made those parallels loud and clear.

The new kids are not exactly like their parents, like you said Bolt is more like a cool brat with his expressions and clothing.

Sarada has clear traits from both her parents.
