Sakura Haruno Is Bad At Taijutsu

[BLAZE]

Jyuken and Goken can also one shot , but that is not my point , my point is she need to be skilled enough on order to land a hit

konohamaru using Jyuken and Goken
she became hokage

actually you have a fair point , take in example Taijutsu specialist are only specialized in o
1vs1 fights , while Sakura turns are more essential in wars

yes sakura is not 1 vs 1 specialist but she has advantage in it since her AOE is large and sure kill if she wants

same pain arc SM naruto or Hebi sasuke are closed ranged fighter but either FRS and kirin can decimate long range enemies

Yes she does and there has been countless of manga scans offered that says she does, you just hell bent on not receiving arguments in Sakura's favor becuase it undermines your threads purpose.

there has been 0 manga scans depicting sakura's 1 on 1 taijutsu

sakura here is a chunin here...lmaooo so @ bold I'm not taking that seriously...ebisu and gekko are not average jonin by the way



no I'm not...I'm comparing to guys like omoi...did you miss this entire thread?

THE IRONY of this comment...this entire thread is me putting sakura haruno's taijutsu in perspective

The irony here is that I did....the Sasori fight. Aside medical jutsu all she had left was....Taijutsu


But I think what you are looking for is a fight like Kakashi VS Obito or Naruto VS Sasuke to put her Taijutsu into perspective as you would have us believe. You know very well Sakura has no 1 vs 1 one fight other than the Chunin Exams against Ino. So the best we get is the Sasori fight.

I'm not trying to say she excels in Taijutsu. She's a med nin not a Taijutsu specialist. She excels in healing not one on one combat.

That's all the energy I am willing to give on the subject.

Tbh this tread should be closed. Pretty far off topic and it's constantly being derailed.

Isn't this how Sakura threads usually go until they are shut down? We haven't gotten to the name calling portion of thread yet...at least not in abundance . Once that happens (maybe another 10 pages from now) it will get shut down.

I said my piece though, but you know how these Sakura debates go. This horse is beyond dead so I'm uttahere:

there has been 0 manga scans depicting sakura's 1 on 1 taijutsu

there is same where she was losing badly

 

[Mori Jin]

16 Pages! Just take the L sakura fans she ain't got no worthy Taijutsu feats for the main heroine of the story.

 

[Zombaee]

You think sakura could even touch madara? hell no

well that is true

This thread as been dunked many times, the only L being taken is not admitting it lol

"Sakura Haruno is not very good at being aware of her surroundings"

Meanwhile, Sakura is evading acid from space-time portals from short distances AND saving Obito by suddenly shielding him at the same time.

Being attentive to Chiyo and her directions which included grabbing something behind her while still evading multiple weapons and their attacks from every direction.

"allowed freaking OMOI to counter at the speed of light and send her flying"



She countered white Zutsu's attack with speed if not just as fast as Omoi countered her attack (not at the speed of light though).

Side note: I hope you were using "the speed of light" as a hyperbole LOL

Anyway her taijutsu is above avarage at best but she beats Omoi.

So let's understand that Sakura is a medical ninja, meaning taijutsu is not her area of expertise. The little bit of taijutsu she does have is impressive, considering the average taijutsu skill of a medical ninja is likely very poor.

She makes up for her mediocre taijutsu by being able to one shot, quickly perceiving and analyzing combat styles (V Sasori), and being able to trade blows by healing.

Tsunade's taijutsu is just as sub par, yet she was able to get by just fine. Why would someone who is trained in evasion be skilled at CQC, when her purpose is to keep her allies alive and stay away from combat?

How in god's name is this a topic worth popular discussion on the front of the forum...

Actually, as I'm writing it sort of makes sense. You have the appropriate click bait title consisting of: "controversial character with equal fan and enemy base" followed by "inflammatory assertion." Then the content from the OP is fuel to the flame whether or not it is a strong foundation or not (which I personally believe is weak in this case). Then you just wait for the offensive and defensive teams to come forward with trolls mixed in. I'm bored so I'll toss an opinion in here.

I kinda hate how the OP sets up an incredibly weak argument out of the gate. It's probably by design on account of what I said above so I'm falling into the trap just like Vegeta with Cell. How is the first panel any indication of Sakura not being aware when she clearly is if you look at the page for more than 2 seconds? it's clear all three of them were caught off guard and reacted to Karui (shoutout to my boy Choji for snaggin it). Also, if one instance of her being countered is enough to conclude she's shit in taijutsu you'd need to apply the same logic to everybody who has ever been slipped a clean one, including Jiraiya, Tsunade, Lee (off the top of my head).

Sakura's "technique" is weaker than a fair deal of characters. What I'm referring to by technique is form, style, and grace. All that fancy stuff that we see in fights like Kakashi v. Obito, Madara v. Shinobi alliance, Sasuke v. Naruto (last fight) we don't get with Sakura. The best we get is the Sasori fight, which is probably her prettiest fight. However, she's no worse than Tsunade or the 4th Raikage, both of whom are bulldozers but we call them good at taijutsu despite them being relatively the same. Only reason the Raikage is any good is because of the lightning armor and Tsunade is the same as Sakura. The latter two are mirror images of each other by device of plot development. People are arguing "take away..." and removing a device that makes them what they are. Remove the lightning armor and strength from Rai and Tsunade respectively and they're scrubs.

People seem to be arguing more about her technique rather than her effectiveness or how lethal she is in close range combat. I kinda hate Sakura but she's not bad at taijutsu relative to the Naruto universe as a whole. She is likely among the most lethal fighters close range. If you want to compare her to characters like Bee, Madara, and other relevant characters; depending on your scope she's above average, which is by no means bad.
