Poll: Better Support Ninja (Karin Or. Sakura)

[Sakura Michiko]

Sakura seems to be a better support nin. Karin only has sensory but Sakura can heal, summon and heal, even fight if needed.Sakura is good one on one healing and a huge group.
Sakura is like a main healer/tank
Karin would be like a secondary healer that skills like sensing are useful but would be problematic to be on the frontlines.
That's just my opinion.

 

[Naruto X Hunter]

I love how you're comparing main character Sakura to side character 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.

What's with comparing a main character to a side character? Ofcourse the OP can do that when it comes to Karin,cause unlike Hinata,Karin has feats.


And did you forget that after Sasuke said that,Sakura helped save him? Also Sakura's punch on Kaguya worked considering it lead to Naruto,and Sasuke being able to seal her,thus saving the world.

I see you have to go hard on Sakura downing her feats,and such.No one can do that for Hinata since she doesn't even have any.

Keep in mind that having a support you practically have to babysit is more like a hindrance.

Anyways, Sakura is the better support ninja.

• Karin can't handle major injuries like Sakura can.
  
• Sakura has the ability to transfer chakra and amplify ninjutsu.
  
• Sakura is a seasoned medic capable of crafting both poisons and antidotes.
  
• Katsuyu pretty much ends this debate as far as support is concerned; remote healing hundreds at once negs anything Karin can do.
  
• Sakura herself can enter battle with YS, eliminating the need to babysit her. This massively relieves the burden from her partners.
  
• Intelligent w/ great chakra control and can deal with genjutsu to some extent.

Sure sensing is neat, but I'd rather have multiple practical talents as opposed to a few.

Sakura low diffs.

 

[SayWhat21]

Sakura can protect herself, give Sasuke a better attack strategy and her healing is versatile and virtually unlimited.
Not to mention she can just punch the ground and kill most enemies.
And I doubt Karin has her Resistance to genjutsu.



Tsunade healed herself, KArin was nothing more than chakra

doesn't that make her more useful? also tusnade didn't heal her self thanks to suigetsu put her back together and karin for all the chakra

Selective reading and a horrible comparison but since you have nothing logical to sate I won't bother.

Didn't Sakura charge at him and shrug it's off like everything was good because I remember she did.

So are you saying team 7 is fodder?

haha i dont even feel to respond this post bc u clearly didnt understand what i mean) so just forget it bc i dont have time to explain something

You said strong ninjas should have Karin support but weak ninjas should have Sakura support. So I asked you if you though team 7 was fodder because she supported them.

 

[dizzysasukefan]

Also, Femme (or any other Sakura advocates), I think that it is important to note that we are talking about who the better support ninja is. This assumes that they will be doing no fighting at all (or at least that's how I interpret it). If we were talking about who is more useful in combat, the argument for Sakura gains significant leverage due to Sakura's fighting prowess (something that Karin does not really have).

You can't argue with Femme, she is hella biased. I wanted to +rep you, but I can't right now. I owe you one.

 

[dizzysasukefan]

I am assuming you mean a four man cell, if so Karin...If you are talking about a crowd, then Sakura. For reasons given by several others in this thread.

 

[Beatrix]

Karin has the best set of genetic traits and techniques to fill the role of support ninja.

Heal Bite
Eye of Kagura
Chakra Chains

All techniques best suited to someone who isn't frontline fighting but there as support, to heal/sense and restrain. Especially her sensor abilities, unlike anyone else's I've heard described in the series - so obviously she surpasses Sakura in terms of sensing, tracking, reading people... Karin can tell by chakra fluctuations if someone is nervous/lying etc.
So... better at interrogation as well, another "support" role.

Karin gets plus points for knowing when to back the **** down from a fight - she knows her place, will be happy enough to hide her ass and take herself out the situation and prevent herself (generally) from becoming part of the problem.

Not something Sakura has mastered yet.


Tsunade's techniques - at their peak - enable a med-nin to fight in battle, generally on the frontline when sh*t has hit the fan.
Otherwise, unless she's healing she's generally not contributing much to the team - not as much as Karin (potentially) can.

But to offset that, Sakura is superior (so it seems) in terms of medical knowledge... even if Karin can bypass that with her Heal Bite.

 

[Shitenshin no jutsu]

Sakura for obvious reasons. The ONLY thing Karin has over her is sensing, PERIOD.

Healing: Sakura via Katsuyu and the stamina to heal hundreds at once while Karin can barely heal one person without becoming fatigued.

Versatility: Sakura. She can strengthen her partners, has a boss summoning, and can actually join the fray herself if she absolutely has to.

Durability: Lol Sakura.

Intelligence: Karin is slightly better at analyzing enemies. Sakura has infinitely more medical knowledge and isn't too shabby at analyzing enemies.

Offensive capabilities: Sakura obviously, Karin's incomplete Chakra Chains really are not as impressive as people keep making them out to be.

A better comparison would've been Karin and Ino...

You say "Sensing" like it's a minor skill set to have. Her sensor abilities are OP as ****.

Mind's Eye of the Kagura - a unique sensory ability which allows her to track any targets through their chakra signature. Noted by Kakashi as a particularly skilled sensor-type ninja, Sasuke goes on to state that Karin's ability to sense chakra is unlike anyone else's. Unlike most sensors, who normally require to mould their chakra first, Karin appears able to detect chakra targets without any conscious effort. She can greatly expand her range to detect the presence of others, easily discern whether or not a specific individual are among a crowd, pick up chakra from long distances, and determine if targets are approaching her and how many or what species. She can also determine the size of a target's chakra reserve and potency, and even tell whether or not someone was lying through the fluctuations in that person's chakra made from dishonest emotions. She can also find out if an enemy is using a clone technique, and indicate if someone, including herself, is trapped in genjutsu. She can, similarly, conceal her own chakra from others.

My opinion, her Chakra Chains surpass Sakura's... what? Super strength? In terms of potential, the chains blow any shitty taijutsu Sakura has out the water.

Her Heal Bite is exceptionally potent, she healed Tsunade after her battle with Madara - a feat I'm not sure Sakura could have pulled off, why? Because Karin restored Tsunade's chakra reserves.
Please don't delude yourself into thinking that Sakura is remotely capable of that - she's not.

As a support ninja she trumps Sakura for being more useful, for being more versatile, for having the capability to save herself.
