KArin destroy a few arms, you guys are hyping her too much.
Sakura or Tsunade wouldn't ended those things quickly.

You go realize that they had to be nerfed to low chakra and healing others, so that they wouldn't solo them things.
So I guess you're saying that Tsunade and Sakura are stronger than Hiruzen, Ay and Tobirama(whoever was fighting against the Buddha) while you're saying that even elites who had trouble would be outclassed by Sakura?

Yeah, I think you need to leave.

Fetal damage gg :sdo:
Yes Fetal Damage, Sakura cannot and will not die from any type of impalement, burns or any other inflicted onto her physically as long as she has chakra in her seal. Manga Fact!

Also, none of that has anything to do with sensory skill.
I was replying to a response left by someone who was getting off topic but of course it doesn't have anything to do sensory, it does however support the conclusion of Sakura being superior to Karin.

Sakura can't stand a chance against this. All the elite shinobi could not get near the Buddha statue and Karin rekt it. That's some force.

No one in this manga (including Tsunade) has demonstrated destructive brute force behind their fist equivalent to Sakura's feat.

She destroyed an entire landscape without breaking a sweat and with only 1 punch.

Sakura's destructive power > Karin's by far.

Recover from fatal wound? Bounce back from any physical damage when her sensei herself couldn't do it after being cut in half? What has sakura actually tanked in this whole manga?
1. Naruto's kyuubi mode tail hit made her unconscious..
2. Kabuto's butt made her unconscious.
3. Simple punch to the ground made her lose consciousness
Her greatest feat is to survive a stab from a stick. Whereas Karin survived fatal injury from SZ and regenerated in the next second as if it was nothing. Destroyed buddha then.

Karin's abilities wold be far more suited to a small unit: intricate sensing and tracking, and the ability to heal her comrades as necessary, whereas Sakura's talents are best used en masse on the battlefield via Katsuyu.

Should Karin fully master the Adamantine Chains, she'd be above Sakura, though. Those can bind something as powerful as Full Kurama, and can be used both offensively like with the Buddha and defensively as a barrier.

Karin is. She can heal u almost instantly, she's in the top 3 in terms of sensing. Helpful in interrogation since she can tell when someone is lying. Her chakra chains are extremely useful for restraining and taking down large scale attacks. And she won't cry like Sakura. Also she's a great observer and is very intelligent so she can give good strategies during battle

Sakura is the better support nin, and I don't even think I have to explain myself. The only advantage Karin has over Sakura as a support is her sensory skill, which is undoubtedly extremely useful, but Sakura's other qualities outweigh it.

- Sakura's biggest trump card over Karin is Katsuyu - basically, you get two supports for the price of one. Sakura can canonically heal whole platoons with Katsuyu without expressing fatigue, can you imagine what would happen if Karin attempted that?

- Intelligence-wise, they're pretty much equal, though Karin has the edge for completely figuring out Izanagi, while Sakura made an okay deduction about Tobi's Kamui.

- Sakura has the better stamina, the much more advanced medic skills that aren't limited to people simply biting her, the immensely larger chakra reserves.

- Can also be a front-line fighter, if needed. While Karin's Chakra Chains are impressive and very good for big targets, they aren't really an issue to single opponents [ ], and she herself is extremely weak physically [ > ].

I like Karin more than Sakura just as much as the next guy, but get real, people. Lol

Tsunade could have bounced back from bisection and Katsuyu confirmed that by insisting that she piece Tsunades body back ASAP but she instead ordered Katsuyu to devote her chakra in keeping the other Kages alive.

The Baykugo Seal grants the following techniques.

Creation Rebirth - By releasing the great volume of chakra stored in her forehead at once, the body's cell division is forcibly stimulated by proteins, reconstructing all organs and all tissues making up the human body.

Strength of a Hundred Technique - regenerates the user's wounds via accelerated cell division, the Strength of a Hundred Technique has a continuous, automatic effect that will heal any damage that the user sustains instantly without the need to make hand seals or even a conscious effort to activate the healing process as long as they have chakra left.

Sakura has the seal that grants those two S-rank abilities.





1. Naruto's kyuubi mode tail hit made her unconscious.
She actually wasn't unconscious, she remained coherent but was in shock which why she remained on the ground holding her arm (unconscious people don't hold things).

2. Kabuto's butt made her unconscious.
Correct when Kabuto flew into her (when she was off guard) but what you saying? Sakura like anyone else isn't immune to being knocked out. Should I pull up scans of characters being knocked senseless?

You do understand that Sakura is granted regenerative capabilities right?

If Sakura was fatally stabbed like Karin was she would've like Karin instantly recovered but what makes Sakura's ability superior is the fact that she can do over 10x back too back. While Karin can only bite herself once (max is 2x)..

Overall i'd say Sakura is better support,but for Sasuke specfically i say Karin.

Sakura is a strong fighter,Sasuke didn't really need that considering he himself is a great fighter,plus he has Jugo,and Sugeitsu for that position.For his team he needed a sensor ninja,who can track their enemies.Karin was the perfect chioce,and her healing is more conivienent for quick usage,like in battle.She's healed Sasuke multiple times in battle,while Sakura has been shown to heal people on the sidelines,not literally during an ongoing battle like Karin.

Anyways, i'll take Sasuk's words on the matter.

You keep yapping about how Sakura knocked Kaguya "senseless" when that isn't even close to being the case Lol She absolutely tanked that shit of punch.

Being knocked senseless is what Kabuto's damn ass or Omoi's one-shot kick did to Sakura.

All that looks good on paper, but according to the mangafacts, she just terrible. All that power she got, but don't know how to utilize it to its fullest potential. Karin is not a fighter, yet she utilize her abilities more than Sakura.

So stop looking at the tools and look at the character. Sakura is more deadweight than Karin.

I love how you're comparing main character Sakura to side character Karin.
I'm comparing their abilities which is completely adequate.

Itachi is a side character, right? Yet compare Sasukes pre-SO6P sharingans abilities to his.

Isn't Madara a side character? Do we yet compare his ability to Sasukes?

That argument is tired, through and delayed.

Come better than that!


Anyways, i'll take Sasuke's gesture and eye contact on the matter, after being saved by Sakura.

Fixed it for you.

You keep yapping about how Sakura knocked Kaguya "senseless" when that isn't even close to being the case Lol She absolutely tanked that shit of punch.

Being knocked senseless is what Kabuto's damn ass
I'll give you that, Kabuto flew into Sakura "unintentionally" and knocked her out while she was "off guard".

Doesn't change this..

Omoi's one-shot kick did to Sakura.
1. He didn't one-shot Sakura, she was completely coherent and even stood up right after.


2. Omoi got a pitiful lick, which was due to circumstance.

Head up, Sakura low-diffs him in seconds.

Dead weight

  • An oppressive burden or difficulty.
I'll give you that to an extent but she's been contributed greatly to her team and the overall plot.

Madara and Itachi technically aren't side characters

Itachi and Madara are no where near being in the same league as Karin. You'd have to be completely delusional or stupid to that. :lmao:

I'll give you that, Kabuto flew into Sakura "unintentionally" and knocked her out while she was "off guard".
She wasn't off guard. Unless you want to tell me she's stupid enough to let her guard down in front of Orochimaru and the Kyuubi. That ass flew in her face because she has crap reflexes.

Don't care. But Sakura's punch didn't have much of an effect on Kaguya in terms of damage.

1. He didn't one-shot Sakura, she was completely coherent and even stood up right after.
No, she stayed on her ass and cried about Sasuke-kun. And that did count as a one shot, as that is all it took to pin her will to fight down for good.

2. Omoi got a pitiful lick, which was due to circumstance.

Head up, Sakura low-diffs him in seconds.
Yeah, yeah. All I know is that Omoi would win against pre-seal Sakura. Lol

It's funny cause Sakura had to help Obito save Sasuke. But their was nothing she could do. Laughable.

The Stupidity and delusional falls on your ill equipped comprehension.

Who compared Karin to either of those characters in regards to a radius in power or league?

I certainly didn't, what I said was that

1. Sasuke is a main character (fact)

2. Itachi & Itachi are side character's (fact also)

3. People adequately compare Sasuke, Itachi & Madara's sharingan's ability (another fact)

4. That same comparison can be applied to Karin & Sakura's supportive abilities (hope that's not over your head)

Instead of being hostile and immature, slow your row and read.

Let me know if that's not keen enough....



She wasn't off guard. Unless you want to tell me she's stupid enough to let her guard down in front of Orochimaru and the Kyuubi. That ass flew in her face because she has crap reflexes.
Yea she was off guard, she couldn't stand to see that her best friend and someone she loved dearly transformed into a monster all on the primus of trying to retrieve Sasuke (a burden she put onto Naruto).

Don't care. But Sakura's punch didn't have much of an effect on Kaguya in terms of damage.
Again, you can moon walk around the this all you want but Sakura's clean lick on Kaguya did 3 things:

1. Drew blood

2. Rearranged her exterior (broke off her horn)

3. Prevented her from escaping Sasukes & Naruto's attempt to seal her.

Manga facts all day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, she stayed on her ass and cried about Sasuke-kun. And that did count as a one shot, as that is all it took to pin her will to fight down for good.
No a one shot leaves you unconscious and incoherent, Sakura wasn't either of those.

She got right back up on her feet and even offered to heal Naruto's beaten up face.

Yeah, yeah. All I know is that Omoi would win against pre-seal Sakura. Lol
Sakura stomps Omoi with her seal or summon, CES is all she needs.

Laughable low-dif.

to be fair this is quite senseless. you are comparing two completely different situations with different contexts and trying to make a silly point out of it. what would karin have done against infinite tsukuyomi? lemme answer, nothing because well.. she was zetsu fodder like the rest of the alliance.it was a grave near helpless situation for the non god tier ninjas, sasuke even labelled kakashi with the same not useful tag. not to mention, sakura ended up proving him wrong later on by providing support to obito which saved his ass from the desert, healed his arm that had been cut, stopping the blood flow hence saving his life again.that situation is in no way a knock on her usefulness overall.

OT. depends,karins sensing is good for tracking down the enemys location alongside her healing but sakura dominates in terms of healing a larger number via katsuyus and she can assist in combat as well. overall though, ill go with sakura.
