Lmao, I take you are at a loss for words here and cannot corroborate or make any auxiliary input to substantiate without fucking up. Good choice staying on the safe side.
Nope, even if they are similiar, they're different enough and the user's of those techs have other things to offer.
They're still productively the same, by-products of the same idea, if you will. Even Naruto's KCM is nothing past an attempt at subtle emulation with hope it will go unnoticed. Too bad, we saw it for what it blatantly is, a copy-paste job done well by Kishimoto in order to invigorate the series. Most arsenals in Naruto in fact are copies, which finds us where the point was being emphased. Naruto and Sasuke aren't exempt from the extraordinarie permeating the series. They are just as guilty as Sakura, if not worse, as the more Kishimoto gets inspired with a character, the more copy-paste shit he pumps into it. Luckily for Sakura, she wasn't of tantamount interest and lucked out as a result. But it seems like for some fans, her lacking Pikachu-reminiscent skill-sets and some Dragonball Z cash-milking concept makes her a bland comparison, as you have said many times before.
Cool, this doesn't excuse Sakura's horrible writing. I already know Naruto is badly written, but he still has things enjoyable about him, and no, Naruto is not all about power development. His moments with Haku, Zabuza, Hinata, Neji, Gaara, Iruka, Pain, Jiraya, Sasuke, Bolt, Himawari, and so on all attest to how much emotional development and non-power development he has.
Himawari? You just put her in there because no way could there be development with her that I could call development? Lmao. Talk about trying to elongate facts just to make a point more eye-popping. And Naruto really actually isn't interesting. I.e after he's ascertained to be what you would call, an extremely developing character with almost no noticeable development at second glance due to its inconsequential impact. Naruto staying the same throughout the series makes veritably no difference for how it's just how it should be. He never makes decisions out of which calamity could take place, out of which lives could be put in danger. Everything he does or whatever decision he makes is what you would expect from Goku, even if it might be slightly peculiar to him. It's nonetheless a shoe-fit thing, where he's just filling the characteristics most found in Shounen protagonists. Same for the deuteragonist, Sasuke, but at least you are on the edge of your seat when a moment of decision-making presents itself like when he talks with Hashirama and is left to decide whether he wants to protect Konoha or resume his plans with destroying it. But at the end, he's still very much what we expected him to turn out to be; not a single moment was I not guessing and getting it right with these two, except a few moments I slacked with my guesses. For Sakura, at least I wasn't expecting Byakugou to pop up, or for her to be pivotal to Sasuke's rescue from the desert dimension. She had me guessing, despite there not being some giant Chakra humanoid doing amazing sword slashes and Kurama clones flying around all over the place.
When has Sakura ever extracted even 1/4 that kind of emotion from the viewers? During her big forehead flashbacks against Ino when she broke their friendship over a crush, only for INO to be the one to reconnect?
There's a good analysis on what that really signifies I read last year. I should be able to make a thread on it with personal insight if I ever find the points brought up which should steer it towards the right direction; but that's not really why the friendship was compromised. Ino always mocked Sakura for her dependency on her, and how she didn't seem to grow out of her shell. When Sakura breaks up the friendship, she's breaking out of her cacoon and showing to Ino that she can stand alone with the same air of confidence she has. The friendship from the way it's told Sakura aspired to become like Ino because she admires her, this before Sakura finds her confidence, and grows some balls under Ino's courageous demeanor. It all ties up with some manga scans for visual presentation, but I'm not too energetic at the moment.
Hence why Naruto's series is successful and hence why Sakura is universally hated. If you can't see the difference between Naruto and Sakura in writing, I can't help you.
It's not really her fault she's voiced by a really annoying, naggy voice in the dub version and got Konohamaru'd for most of the series.
The difference only really exists in combat ability, and that's where my point with Konohamaru has been contributing to that point, which to this point you have been ignoring. Hasn't Konohamaru been getting incessant hate and being constantly called names? This is exactly what makes characters universally hated, it's actually not for how the characters may be badly written. Do your own research, if you are capable, and ask exclusively fans who aren't exposed to the internet poison how they personally feel about certain characters in Naruto. It's unlikely you'll get answers along the lines of Sakura being useless, because there isn't anyone to ingrain it in them.
What happened after she got Byakugo? Got cocky and needed saving, got sidelined immediately, outshined by Tsunade, thinking of Sasuke while fighting, letting her insecurity and emotions dictate her actions, leading to her being in need of saving, etc.
Which character doesn't get cocky when they're escatic about their own improvement in power even in the slightest bit? Neji, got cocky and thought he could brawl with Kidoumaru without getting scathed. Sasuke got cocky after attaining Chidori before he got humbled by Naruto upon ascertaining its destructive power, then enraged. Naruto, your majestic hero, got so cocky after attaining KCM that Itachi blatantly warned him about shouldering roles he cannot carry alone. Sakura getting cocky for a moment has no bearing on her character overall, and that's not even cocky when the whole truth to why she was so forward with showing-off was to prove she wasn't a burden anymore. Her not succeeding on that part that was the author's decision, but for your enquiry on that, you have been answered as Sakura enjoys standing back to back with Sasuke and Naruto more than when she was smashing the mini-Juubi's around, as foolproofed by her tearing smile.
Even in Gaiden, just when you think she has changed, she still has a temper, even worse than before in fact, still is getting saved and sidelined, still lying, and still can't get Sasuke's attention.
So? Sasuke is still stoic and standoffish, and Naruto still smiles almost unnecessarily. You can't take away a large part of what makes up a character and then hope for fans to think that's going to be impactful. Switch Sasuke and Naruto's personalities and that will enrage a lot of fans. For Sakura that might have been the way to go, that might have been not, but for the most part, she's calm and doesn't act impetuously, which is why in the Anime she doesn't charge up at Shin when they're found in a very sticky situation, and is calm enough to find a way around it with Sasuke non-verbally, that's a different Sakura to the one you would have encountered in early pt.1.
so where is Part 2 Sakura's character development outside of getting CES and YS?
Kishimoto wasn't interested in developing her power-wise obviously, and was probably running out of ideas at the near end, considering he gave Naruto RSM which he later on takes away, then gives Sasuke Rinnegan powers of which only one is ever really used. Talk about redundant gimmicks.
But I do agree that power isn't everything in terms of character development, as I enjoy both Kakashi and Hinata's characters, as you pointed out. But Sakura has neither personal or power development, not substantial enough for someone with her screen time, anyways.
Sakura is actually a depth character. You are just stuck ups that can't get over the fact she got some respect from Obito and made Kaguya a punching bag for a moment. If you can enjoy Hinata with how boring she is, then let Sakura fans enjoy her for what she brings out on the table, instead of being salty about it and going for a doctorate in the subject.
Oh please, as if fan reactions from SS faps means anything in terms of how well the writing is. Like, are you f-ing joking? Seriously? SS stans who wet themselves over forhead touches, passing comments, and subtle eye glances saying Gaiden was good means it's good?
That's all on what you think it came from, but it's factually true that Sakura churned good reaction in terms of the fight, I honestly don't know when you got off track there. You could get all preachy, but you're just as guilty of getting moist over impressive feats as Sakura stans, as you fervently call them. You still got moist over Hinata inheriting some purple chakra that turned out completely useless used independently.
Everyone enjoys a well animated fight scene. Has nothing to do with Sakura herself. Next.
Right, so all fights with Sasuke and Naruto cannot be seen as their fights and just choreography that should be credited to the workforce of SP, and when has your idea of development suddenly shifted from cool fights? I see double-standards here.
This coming from the guy who says people have a shallow view of character development, only caring for power, then always bashing Hinata, a character who's development is primarily emotional. Wowzies. :lol
The point stays the same. No need to get on the emotional side, I've only been approaching this dispassionately, don't try to make it a heart-to-heart about poor Hinata.
Kushina would have punched the ground had Naruto asked a simple question about his father?
Lmao, how would I know, but Kushina is portrayed to be punchy like Sakura, so take a guess. I don't really know about smashing the ground without the strength though. The likehood exists with her having the balls and CES to grand that possibility. You don't think she can throw a punch at her son or do anything comically harmful when she throws a fit? Temaru whooped Shikadai's ass too and she's somewhat your
tsundere, like Kushina, or
tsunda, I might have them mixed up, but you got 3 mothers with fiery hearts and violent tendencies and Hinata is the only one seeming to not go the physical route when portraying feelings of disagreement with the child? You know, it's more weird Hinata doesn't touch any of her children than Sakura or Temari or Kushina doing it. She does it psychologically, so I give her props for that. What stays in the mind is always more impactful and could terrify the child, so she's winning the fierce battle.
Show a scan or stop lying. You Sakura stans are so shameful trying to undermine other characters just to justify Sakura's very clear lunatic tendencies.
Lmao. How are Kushina and Sakura any different when Minato sees the resemblence? Are you denying the observation of a once-in-a-life-time genius? I don't reckon.
Show a scan or stop lying.
Lmao, you're such a dumb-ass, you know damn well this can't be justified with physical evidence. It's plain obvious Temari would whoop a child's ass or have Shikadai blown away with her fan if it was to make fun or make a comical scene out of it. In the end, it comes down to context, and you always miss that completely. No wonder the comprehension lessons advised comments that pile up in all threads with you and salamander, your comprehension abilities only goes as far as your subjective view dictitates it, or could just be plain moronic.
Show a scan of this or stop lying.
I will have to reiterate what I said above here.
Oh so she's not the first.
Which female in the Naruto series has actually soloed? I might have forgotten.
