Nah. You just failed to pick on the flaws.
What?

Sarada wears glasses- physical handicap/ flaw.
Glasses isn't a flaw lmfao.

It's too early to comment on how these characters will be shaped finally but
Uh-huh

, Sarada has other flaws- she hides her weakness by wearing an attitude at times
When does Sarada or anyone state she does this?

- like in one anime episode when she was trying to learn to balance on water - she lost control and was noticed by Boruto and friends.
You said Sarada hides her weakness, but what weakness is she hiding here?

She acted as if somehow they were at fault for questioning her presence to silence them.
A tsundere basically

This personality quirk can be attributed to both of her parents. She also has her moments of insecurities.
LOL...

Otherwise a character wearing too obvious flaws on the sleeve for the sake of it, is also an example of weak writing. It shouldn't be forced in the story.
Sarada is too perfect IIRC atm. You literally saying glasses is proof enough IMO.



She was not facing them alone even if she landed some blow in the end. Find the page you are referring to then we can talk further.

The OP was stating that the Mary Sue aspect isn't in her personality but rather goes into detail that her Mary Sue traits comes from her power, particularly the Sharringan doing everything for her when Sasuke and co had to work hard for it.



From the OP
Sarada:
On the other hand, Kishi realized his mistake so he took notes and made Sarada as a refined version of Sakura with better improved personality and given her proper objective thus expanding her future potential role in the story. With that in mind, Kishi glued the idea about Sarada better portrayal as a female cast by becoming a Front battle rather than backup supporter to the point that she was given ALOT of free handout powerup without any indication of buildup and training which so far leaves a huge stain on Sasuke and other uchiha prodigies. This could fluctuate her character progression if she continues to go on a Mary Sue route.

The last arc and also even this Gaiden Pic proves the point.

Having Glasses or not is insignificant when she has a 1T Sharringan that can somehow, when push comes to shove, just grab someone's else moves and copy and past it into battle with no effort.


Boruto is a genius and we know he also has his own dojutsu but unlike Sarada we see him making things on his own (even with how he utilizes his shadow clones or that Boruto stream he was trying to figure out via 3-5 episodes) as well as testing and figuring things out on the fly through trail and error.


Plus his Jougan itself didn't just spam all of its abilities like some mad eye from the get go. He basically had its bare bone abilities and then it goes dormant again where he has no control over it. Even his current curse mark has him struggling to try and figure it out.


Now compare it to someone getting 1T then somehow entering a match where they never showcased a said affinity before and low and behold they don't make their own move but just spam/copies the enemies or people close to them.

She needs to make things into her own and that is her problem. Boruto has his own problems he has to address as well.

Glasses aren't a character flaw :lol
S-Sarada has character flaws! She wears glasses!

S-Sarada has character flaws! Remember that one time she was walking on a raging river and she fell in because Boruto and co saw her and she didn't want to be caught!


Jesus Christ. In any case Manga Sarada is confident, smart ,strong ,intelligent , etc.

Can someone explain to me an actual character flaw? Because even post-CE Boruto has flaws. We just sat through an entire 2 chapter period where Boruto had to mature in his understanding of ninja tools, and Katasuke himself.

Meanwhile...

Nah. People just jumping guns and acting as if they understand what a Mary sue or Gary stu is. Half the people using these terms can be found ranting at mangaka for not turning their favourite in to a Stu and don't even notice it.
But I do know what a Mary Sue/Gary Stu is. It has nothing to do with my fav. All I want is a story where a protagonist doesn't have everything come to him or her easily like Boruto :lol

Saradas attitude is her flaw we saw in the latest episode sometimes she tries to act like she's too good for some things. But she's a nice kid and it's the same with Boruto. They have minor flaws but I admit Saradas flaws are not very outstanding but she's still fine the way she is.

IMO I can understand how Boruto is presented that way, but I think they sort of capped him in that nature. For example:

> He's smart, but he doesn't study enough. So he comes out probably top 1-5, but he isn't #1.
> He's talented, but he doesn't train enough. So he might come out top 1-5, but he isn't the strongest.
> He learns ninjutsu techniques fast, but they aren't strong ninjutsu techniques. Like when Boruto was trying to copy Mitsuki's wind scythe technique, but failed (when he blew Iruka's hair with that small ass wind burst). Mitsuki said that he made it impossible to copy,
> Or when he finally learned the Rasengan, but it only made a small dent on the tree and it looked pathetic size wise.

Outside of that, I don't really think he learned anything fast. Outside of the power up seal that he got from Momoshiki. He's been training off screen, but I guess that's the problem?

I don't see anyone else training on screen either though. This series just brushes past training altogether.

That's the point Indra you don't see him training and hes the MC there are only hints. I don't see the other being shown training either. So when they develop their skills and the struggles they go through to get where they are, are unknown for this reason. That takes away from all the characters somewhat and it leads us to believe they're perfect.

Your right. The lack of exposition on training in this series is a big offender, hugely.

We only see them training by statements but we never actually see them train. It's sad, honestly.

While Boruto is getting random hints, they neglect other characters completely so we don't even know what's going on. At the bare minimum we need a training arc.

Every other chapter they are just getting gifts and toys. Lmao

We definitely need a character arc I personally think they should've focused on character development but including some training as part of it. Even in Sarada's case it was only mentioned she was coming back from night time training with her sensei(kagemasa episode) that's the last we heard of that.They showed a glimpse of ino shika cho.

I personally think they're trying to rush everything through and move onto the tech arc with Kawaki onwards which is kind of bad. They're doing a huge disservice to the series as a whole by not focusing on characters and their struggles.

Let's hope kodachi screws his head on and writes a training arc and SP make it.

Dude if we get to the time skip with no training arcs, just BS techniques coming out of the ass. We are in trouble, big time. :lol

Kodachi please :lmao:

Yawn. Making jokes with out of context statements and ignoring rest of the posts, is the only argument you have even with support of a group? I'm still waiting to get what makes Himawari and Hinata non Mary Sue in your assertions using the same criteria in an objective manner, seeing how much you guys hype these characters. But I was told Hinata distressing over Naruto was a flaw yet Sarada's distress because of her parental issue isn't.

But I do know what a Mary Sue/Gary Stu is. It has nothing to do with my fav. All I want is a story where a protagonist doesn't have everything come to him or her easily like Boruto :lol
Nah Boruto doesn't fall in Gary Stu case either. Boruto is son of hokage, his father is an elite nin at this point, his mother holds a KG and got his father's friend another elite nin Sasuke to train him- he is lucky in that manner and bound to get that much of a head start. You can't take away that from him without killing off at least one of parents or make them go alcoholic or something or handicap him seriously or make him an adopted son to devoid him of KG or Uzumali heritage etc.

You can't take away enough talent from him either and still make him Hero in a shonnen. Unless you plan to write Don Quixote. Hence the minor flaws.
