Sasori shouldn't have lost

[zahari]

If he didn't create large objects with the Iron sand he would have won. Small projectiles are fast enough to catch either Sakura or Chio, but plot had to make him lose

 

[Red Flag X Drake]

He let himself lose at the end. He would have been able to kill them

 

[Retsu]

Entire manga follows plot so I don't see what makes his case any different from anyone else held back by plot

/Thread.

 

[FemmeFatale]

Sakura and Chiyo were avoiding everything he threw at them.
He wasn't counting on Sakura's strength

 

[Ldude]

He died of his own choice.

 

[Nebula]

So it's clear sasori > sakura?

 

[jgusw3]

I agree. During the battle, he had a change of heart and let them win.

 

[UltraPain]

Sasori could have just put iron sand in their bloodstreams. Obviously he could have annihilated them but chose not to.

 

[FubukiShirou]

I mean only thing Sakura could win a fight against would be a sound ninja fodder from part 1 but against other opponents naw, Sasori just got plotted like mad.

 

[Jinx Hex]

He said he let them win... so

 

[Sugiyama]

But he did...

Exactly.

 

[super yang]

it doesn't matter if he lost to pakkun, his strength was clearly & quantifiably demonstrated.

he is top 20 imo

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

He had to 'coz of plot.

 

[Conspirator.]

The entire manga is plot as others have said, thus Sasori had to lose. He himself admitted he let them win in the end.

Kishi does have some sanity to make Sasori say that at least.

Yin Seal Sakura stomps Sasori and Katsuyu is an overkill.
Sasori doesn't possess the means to kill her, that fodder poison ain't gone help ether.

The funny thing is Sasori would still wreck her. and you guys keep bringing up Katsuyu Puppets>Katsuyu.

So, you acknowledge his defeat was necessary for the plot, but for some reason think he should've won against Sakura and Chiyo? What exactly didn't you get?
