That last one is filler and Queen Sakura didn't even take any damage from Madara's attack.

Lol Sakura tanked a sword to the stomach and got back up on her feat in seconds but the same can't be said about the kick Danzo gave Karin.

You tried it.

Doing what?

Keeping the main antagonist alive?

Preforming medical ninjustu (CPR)?

>Karin saving Sasuke moots what you were trying to say

>Karin isn't medical ninja

- Talking about Karin forgetting how to breath in battle.

Nothing else.

Doesn't moot anything, Karin cried senseless when Sakura was in danger, Sakura collected herself and maintained a calm disposition while taking the measures to save Naruto!

>Karin isn't medical ninja

Who said she was? let's talk healing.

- Talking about Karin forgetting how to breath in battle.

Sakura may have for got to breath I'll give you that but her hand never left Naruto's chest cavity nor did she ever stop pumping his heart.

But let's talking fight alongside Sasuke.

Sakura's attempt to strike Danzo failed.

One big difference between Karin and Sakura is Karin's background in comparison to Sakura. Karin's entire village was burned to the ground and every villager murdered, including her family. As the sole survivor, who knows how long she wandered around before Orochimaru found her and took her in. He's the worst possible person to provide with a sense of purpse and identity, but he does. He groomed her from a young child, and of course she clings to the perceived generosity, being too young or naive to know any better. She was subjected to experimentation and all manners of cruel and painful shit. She grew up in Orochimaru's labs, being subjected to all manner of depraved behavior and sights. Perhaps, in this way, seeing Sasuke's smile again may have reminded her of some sort of light, probably one of the few true acts of kindness she can remember receiving. So yeah, Karin's horny and aggresive, but considering the way she grew up, I think "I just wanted to see you smile again" is a pretty rare kindness and humanity for one to still possess.

Meanwhile, we have Sakura. Both parents alive and loving. Multitudes of friends. One of her friend's only desire in their friendship was to see her truly blossom and reach her fullest potential. Two of her friends, as well as her first friend, are willing to die for her. Had a normal, trauma free childhood. Has people constantly trying to protect her. Trained by two legendary ninjas. Lives in one of the strongest villages surrounded by people who care about each other. She has and had more than 95% of the characters in this manga, and she displays less backbone, self esteem, and substance than a side character who had virtually none of the things she was blessed to have in her life. My point being that Karin's depravity can be understood through her depraved upbringing. Its not an excuse, but we don't have to expect much from her. Meanwhile, Sakura is the heroine of the series and is content with being treated like garbage and her highest aspiration is getting this guy that makes her feel like shit to be with her, and can't even drudge up any substantial or intelligent thoughts about his person or communicate anything of depth about her feelings .

Another difference is that Karin is made of tougher stuff than Sakura. Perhaps its why Sakura looks just as pathetic in comparison. While Karin didn't shed a tear when Sasuke tried to kill her, Sakura breaks down. While Sakura's world comes to a screeching halt when Sasuke doesn't notice her in the face of one of the strongest ninja in the world, Karin wouldn't have batted an eye. She may be horny, but Sasuke's brusque or otherwise plain manner of expressing himself doesn't tear away at her self esteem the way it does Sakura. Even normal things, such as telling her she can't come with him on his redemption journey, send her spiraling into self pity and angst.

This isn't some anti Sakura, pro-Karin thing, but it is sad that the main heroine and girl in the pairing is really no different than the character they love to bash in comparison, and practically anything that can be said about one doubles back on the other. Like the manga shows, Sakura's sole advantage and relevance to Sasuke being she was on Team 7, and any Sasuke fangirl on his team would have gotten the D just the same. Sad, but hilarious.

Who said she was? let's talk healing.

Learn what Karin's chakra does the person who consumes it and then we can talk on head level.

may have for got to breath I'll give you that but her hand never left Naruto's chest cavity nor did she ever stop pumping his

All I asked you was, show me a panel of Karin forgetting how to breathe in battle, I didn't ask you for anything else. If you can FIND it, then the discussion is over.

umm please don't attack me but ;-; can we accept the fact that Sasuke chose Sakura for a reason and respect his decision? sure Sakura is flawed but she has some good quality. i know some of you are upset because Karin never got with sasuke i understand cause i'm an Ino fan and she married sai just because he looks like Sasuke lol SasuIno had worse chances than SasuKarin so i understand you...so can we stop the Sakura hate ;-; -hides in corner as she hear shots fired- don't hurt me! -squeals-

What don't be shy! It's okay to have different opinions. I completely agree with you. People take it too far with the Sakura hate. She's not as bad as people make her out to be.

I actually do know how her chakra works and in return her unorthodox healing methods.

Karin can heal 1 person Max and once a day to be safe while Sakura has enough chakra to heal 100,000+ shinobi's at once plus auto regenerate another individual(s). Sakura has knowledge of the Anatomy, Physiology, Toxicology and can even preform surgeries.

Karin's healing abilities are inferior to Sakura's and if you don't know that then we can talk on a "head level"

Now as far as the rest of that this goes..

When you can find a scan of Karin offensively contributing let me know.

When you can find a scan of her still preforming adequately through distress and fear, let me know.

 

[SilverJay]

They're blinded by their hate for her and LOOK for reasons to hate her which is the annoying part. Sakura has so many good traits but people choose to ignore them.

 

[Narusaku619]

No she was naruto's first heartbreak.....she basically used Naruto to get what she wanted...

 

[Dannie]

How bout no?

 

[Obito the supreme jin]

No because she screwed up the manga.

 

[Endles Waltz]

If not for Sakura explaining love and giving advice, we would not have Naruhina.
If not for Sakura encouraging Ino, we would not have SaiIno.
If not for Sakura breaking Shikamaru out of that genjutsu during Chunin Exams, we would not have ShikaTema.
If not for Sakura being extremely forgiving and understanding, we would not have SasuSaku.
If not for Sakura there would be no next generation children.

All hail Queen Sakura!

Damn, dat Sakura. :lol
