I no longer believe Sakura to be a main character after looking back on the series.

Your Sakura obsession is so unhealthy.

What makes a main character? What aspects of her character would lead anyone to believe that she is of importance to the story in the same way that Naruto and Sasuke are.

Becuase law dictates that there must be a pink haired woman in every anime with connections to the main character.

Yikes!

What's the difference between her and someone like Jiraiya, Gai, Itachi or Tsunade?

Never mind Sakura was his teammate.... Sakura has a stronger protracted connection to Naruto (the protagonist) then all of the people you listed. Sakura was also his closest peer (besides Sasuke) in addition too being one of the first people to believe in him while Sakura was one of the first people naruto devoted himself too.

Does she have solo fights?

Not having a solo altercation isn’t a prequiste for being a main character, it’s simply your opinionated standard.

deep backstory full of depth that only a decade long series could provide?

This is just a reflection of his bad writing, touché.

Sakura wasn’t created to have a deep back story or a complex one, kishi has stated many times that she meant to be a normal girl or a ordinary one but I believe he dropped the ball in that case.

Side note: why are you so invested in campaigning how bad of a character she is? I mean if you finder her character lackluster and flawed doesn’t it deserve this much attention? You a fan deep down.

What perhaps, Kishimoto was shooting for, is a character with a life that was to be mundane, but thanks to Sasuke and Naruto, turns into a roller coaster ride leading to defeats of the highest caliber. Sakura was the most normal out of the monsters that she graduated with. Even Kiba can be noted as a monster/beast because of his ability to turn into a wolf man of sorts capable of drilling into anything, even the ass. So really, Sakura wasn't measuring against these half-humans, but had a run of catching up to them, to getting her own/awakening her own monstrosity, behind the veil of her normalcy. Looking at her now, she's just as a monster as them or worse, she can punch people into space now theoretically, and she's also got her own monster to look after her in her immobile days (Uchiha Sarada) and a man-eater of sorts who can warp people's memories and torture them with a pseudo Tsukuyomi or even put them into limbo dimensions, if he doesn't behead them like he almost did one of the Shin clones. So Sakura's now leading an abnormal life, contrary to the one she would have been leading, had Naruto and Sasuke not transpired, or precisely, if she wasn't put in Team 7. The story of the normal girl turned into a monster begins then, which eventually plummets to now, as a beautiful female beast sworn loyalty to Uchiha Sasuke by marriage.

Whole lotta excuses.


Sakura is more important than the man paramount to his philosophy on life and gave him true purpose?

Jiraiya teachings are being passed on to the younger generation.

What level of importance is Sakura to Naruto compared to Jiraiya?

Or even those he views as his Suns.

You must be registered for see images


What life-long lessons and things to reflect on did Sakura provide to Naruto for him to view her above them?

Promise of a lifetime? The curse of hatred and transmigrations among everything else eclipsed that.

What's with all the Sakura/Hinata/Female threads from you today? Did some female piss you off recently?

Sakuras devoation to protecting Naruto’s dreams is what abled him to pass down those teachings as a father and hokage.

Remind me when Naruto devoted himself just to keep a promise he made to Jiraiya or any of the other people you listed. [/QUOTE]

The connection and the dynamic between them is on an entirely different level.

Or even those he’s sworn his entirety too.

Bingo!

What life-long lessons and things to reflect on did Sakura provide to Naruto for him to view her above them?

Sakura was never meant to teach anything nor does she have to in order to have a stronger and more immediate connection/relationship. Naruto was the one who was suppose to teach Sakura, he was giving the life-lessons which Sakura received by simply watching him face adversity.

Promise of a lifetime? The curse of hatred and transmigrations among everything else eclipsed that.

Nope! “The curse of hatred” was something Naruto inherited, was forced onto his shoulders out of necessity or something that fell into his lap. The promise Naruto swore to keep to Sakura was something Naruto created out of connect/love not wasn’t required to take on.​

No they didn't, Sakura's devotion was not to Naruto's dream. The gap between those panels are hundreds upon hundreds of chapters and are eclipsed by Jiriaya's. Sakura doing all she can to save a friend's life does not mean she's devoted to him.

Several instances is her looking for Sasuke. Several times is Naruto literally saying, "I'm here too, Sakura-chan" when she's in the vicinity of Sasuke.


You're telling me Sakura's connection compared to his god father that gave his direction as a ninja that could change the world, gave him his name, and ideology that he still mentions to this day.

Isn't as deep as Sakura's?


The one that Sai tells her causes Naruto grief and pain on the same level of a curse.

And what does she do? Causes him more grief. Telling him to abandon his best friend, with her still believing his pursuit of Sasuke is still due to her when it's much bigger than that.

Naruto Uzumaki told her to her face, through all of her lies. That regardless of her feelings, that there's a bigger picutre and he's bringing him back for his own sake.


This change in ideology was thanks to the Pain arc and Jiraiya's teachings. Things he holds close to his character and would always defend.

Don't say stupid shit.



In what universe is his God father, teacher of himself and his father and person who named him not as deep as Sakura's?

His final moments were of his student.

He literally willed himself back to life off the power of that alone.

That level of devotion is greater than anything Sakura could ever come close to doing.

Name one female character on par with Naruto and Sasuke in development, depth and popularity.

There's NONE.


The fact Sakura is the best is like saying this shit has less corn in it. That's nice, but it's still shit.

Sakura was never meant to be originally in the manga. His editors thought Hinata was to boring and wanted someone more edgy.

Even Kishi’s own wife wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura and was mad when it didn’t happen. Couple those tidbits with the fact that he openly admitted he didn’t know how to write female characters and you have what we got.

So no. Kishi never intended Sakura to be the main heroine, but we got her anyways thanks to Shonen cliche tropes.
