Sakura's plot hole release

[Made in Heaven]

Actually she does have a degree of physical strength, that's why she categorized as having Herculean strength. Also please remember that Chakra Enhanved Strength; enhances your strength or makes it more deadlier.

Having her strength referred to as such isn't proof that her strength isn't from chakra, and the fact that CES increases strength isn't proof that her normal strength is even remotely deadly, and her lack of built muscles make it even more doubtful.

She trained under Tsunade. That's all we need to know that Sakura's physical strength was pretty massive.

In part 1, Tsunade could easily send Naruto flying with just a flick of a finger. Naturally, Sakura acquired almost as much in her 3 year training with her, or her being called a genius was all for nothing.

As I stated before Sakura has no feats in the manga showing her strength.

As I stated before, she has a degree strength and that's justified by CES enhancing her strength natural strength. Adding chakra to her punches simply makes her punches stronger then what they are naturally but as you can see her BARE FIST was able to break kaguya's horn. I'm not saying she has formidable strength in comparison to Tsunade but she has a degree; she negs Tsunade in CES too.

Which is why her fist are nothing to joke about.

Also you have to remember its not a matter of them absorbing the chakra (I may have said in error). Chakra simply does not work unless its Rikudo OR senjutsu. Atleast based on Obito and Madara

I concur, , there is massive plot holes that put the fight in Team 7's favor such as Kakashi and Obito moving through heavy gravity and Sakura having enough chakra to travel through Kaguya dimensions(as mentioned in the previous chapter). Another example is Kaguya being established to absorb chakra attack, yet she tries to avoid a regular chidori by Sasuke wasting chakra in the process and doesn't absorb Kakashi's attack. Even Naruto uses large chakra attacks against her in chapter 688 even though he wouldn't in chapter 684 because she'll absorb it. Its like Kishi forgot about her abilities. So the plot hole just doesn't stop or begin with Sakura but again I'll have to stick to my original argument, Sakura must have a strong enough degree of strength to break Kaguya's horn. It's a plausible and logical determination...

Tsunade uses CES too.

I don't completely disagree with you but I'll say again: whether what classification you consider Sakura's natural strength to be there's a strong enough degree of it. I honestly can't argue against @boldwith certainty just like you can't affirmatively argue against her degree of natural strength being strong enough to crack her horn. Also, stipulating if someone has a degree of strength or not that's categorized as Herculean and any based on body mass or muscle. big muscle doe'nt always mean you will be stronger than someone smaller.Strength is more neural adaptation caused by high threshold motor unit activation. If you trained for hypertrophy you would get stronger but you might not be strong relative to your size.

It's an obvious plot hole. She was literally forced by the writer to be there, you know, just so it can be a team 7 moment. Sakura doesn't possess raw strength like her teacher Tsunade. She utilize CES, which shouldn't work on JJ's/Kaguya.

 

[wanderingcactus]

eh its really to make her "relevant" well not really.

She's only there to complete the whole Team 7 BS anyways. same with kakashi.

In any case, your argument about her releasing chakra when hitting is null.

Any NORMAL chakra released is, as you say, ineffective against Kaguya.

But she still punched her. Now you may argue that it was not a normal taijutsu punch as her strength is backed by chakra.

Again, it's to make her relevant.

While others get nerfed to be relevant or to get them to fit to the story, Sakura and any other useless female char gets a buff.

So just blame Kishi's crappy writing. The only one that remained TRULY useful and relevant females are Ino, Tsunade, and Mizukage anyways.

Even Kaguya is trash. She was this all powerful being then gets nerfed. This medic ninja gets buffed to the point she can touch a goddess.

I don't even know why there's a discussion about whether or not Sakura deserves glory since Kaguya is written poorly and therefore all the threads regarding feats during the fight is moot.

Nothing should have worked on Kaguya outside the seals.

It's plot that anything hit her.


We're talking about someone who very bones can reduce all organic life into ash on contact.

See in a almost full 360 degree field of vision.

Absorb all chakra.

Faster than anyone in the series.

Can re-create worlds.


Sakura is the last person who should have been able to even touch her. And that's not saying much seeing how Naruto, Sasuke and the others shouldn't have touched her either.

nerf hammer got her real good tbh.

It really should've been how Sasuke and Naruto took down Momoshiki or close to that.

Again, that too was BS because suddenly Boruto was the only one that could take him down. but at least Boruto had some god genes/chakra in him unlike Sakura. Kakashi was debatable as Obito gave him his chakra, Obit was jj at this point, but really? Sakura?

Like her mastery of the seal is not even Tsunade's level and she can't even take on Madara. Then we have this apprentice suddenly delivering the finishing blow on a goddess.

rsm naruto want able hurt kaguya with physical attack
but exhausted saskura could able hurt her that was bs/asspulls/Outlier/Inconsistency/Plot-Induced Stupidity

If she wanted them dead they would have been done for at that moment.

Neither of them could even react to her speed and couldn't move their bodies the moment she touched them.

 

[Detonator99]

Lol at people saying that just because its a taijutsu attack means that sakura ca harm kaguya... because it can't! Kaguya and her horns are way more durable then a fodder punch since she was able to tank a bunch of rasenshurikens who were enhaced with biju and rikudou senjutsu at once without taking any physical damage.

So yeah, it is still a plot-hole.

 

[TheEvilOne]

It is still a physical attack. She is using chakra to empower her strength. 8th gated Guy was the only one besides her who was able to physically damage a Jubbi jin, so this feat is more amazing than people realize.

Based on manga's definition of her attack she shouldn't have hurt Kaguya since the punch RELEASES chakra.

Similar to Gentle Fist concept

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

Kishi took pity on Sakura fans and gave Sakura that one punch. Yep plot hole.

Not according to the ViZ translation. Just give me some time to find it.

Where is the manga scan that shows that normal punches and standard chakra release wouldn' t work to push her down?

I dont know the entire Juubi Jin arc where they needed Rikudou or Senjutsu power to beat Obito and Madara.


Also this:

Black Zetsu said his mother can absorb any Jutsu

It's TSB that are immune to chakra and punches, not the bodies of the users.

Kaguya lacks battle skills and wasn't fast enough to recognize that Sakura's punch was chakra enhanced.
Or Sakura used another punch technique than the one described in the scan you posted.
