Does Sakura have a back story?

[End of Days]

She has one

-She was bullied because of large forehead
-A girl came who fought off the bullies
-She gave sakura self confidence and became her best friend
-Then sakura ditched that girl to become a fangirl

The End

 

[Shruikan]

She threw her only friend aside for Sasuke's dick

Ino is just a second class Sakura who got the second class Sasuke

I know, i read the manga too.

One piece and oda disagree

Oda is a genius for managing all that and makng it balanced

Kishi is good but the more backstories he do the more loneliness he puts to parallels to naruto bs .
honestly i feel bad for naruto but i am sick of the same backstory over and over again.

Not having a backstory means not having a base for character development. Which is what happened to sakura. She started with sasuke and ended with sasuke. We dont even feel sympathy for her or justify her silly actions or obsession. Even kushina who appears only in flashbacks has a little backstory which describes her characters and shows her growth as a shinobi and a human being

"she started with sasuke and ended up with sasuke "
With this shallow interruption of her love . I dont think you will sympathies even with a backstory .

 

[End of Days]

I think there is a very very slight possibility that there is more to sakura

-maybe she found out that she was adopted and that's why she give 0 shits about her parents and is ready to run off with a boy who constantly puts her down

she just wants to escape her family and start a new family, that might explain her unnatural thirst for D at such a young age a little bit

We could justify her reasons for loving sasuke if we saw more of her own past not involving sasuke. Instead we see a her getting a crush on sasuke based solely on her looks, which later turns into love.

We could justify her crazy obsession for sasuke, as we could for naruto who regarded sasuke as his first friend. Without a backstory we simply get the notion that sakura is a crazy obsessed girl who uses the protagonist selfishly to achieve her love, forsaking her frirnds and family in the process. We cant sympathize with her for such actions, nor we can understand her feelings

Isn't it sad we have to hypothesize the backstory of a main character to justify her motives and reasoning?

We saw them in the anime

No shit frank. That's why I said "in the manga". Anime and movies are not canon, with the exception of the upcoming one.

I wonder what Kisimoto was trying to show us with Sakura. Her whole character doesnt make any sense. She's just another TenTen who happened to get involved with the main story, rather forcefully

Tenten wanted to be a ninja like Tsunade unless I'm mistaken. But yes. Her "back story" is loving Sasuke so much, that she broke off her friendship with Ino, who was the one who defended her from the bullies. Tragic and deep indeed. Lol

I feel kishimoto could have put more effort into her character. Without backstory we dont find the urge to like a character and feel for him/her. We also dont understand the motives behind their actions.

Correct. Due to her lack of backstory, she has zero direct connections to any of the main villians, with the exception of Sasuke. Usually, the bigger your connections to the villains, the more development and fight time you get. This is also shown when Hinata plays a role against Toneri in the movie. Sakura has very little for a MC.

Sakura thought that being an orphan was great such implies issues with her own parents. Kishi could have elaborated on why she thought that.

 

[superturtle]

Sakura at the most is a secondary main character. The 2 that Kishi focused on by far were Naruto and Sasuke.

You gave a backstory with great Depth In a few minutes while Kishi didn't even continue to explain Sakura in 15 years.

 

[Dannie]

1. Being teased for her forehead.

2. Being protected by the one girl that didn't pick on her(Ino)

3. Saw a boy that she liked and thought that she was the only one that liked him(Sasuke)

4. Realized that Ino liked him too so she cut her bond with Ino just to get Sasuke first

I hardly call this little fluff drama a backstory. Talk about having a pathetic and boring past.

No, she doesn't have a backstory at all. We don't know anything about her parents. We don't know what her actual goals are outside of wanting Sasuke's penis. It would be somewhat acceptable if her goal was to be the best medical ninja in the world, but it seems that not even that can cross her mind. She has nothing to drive her foward but Sasuke, which is sad because it makes her look weak and pitiful.

She is on the same tier as most side characters like Kiba and Shino when it comes to back story which is a damn shame. Hell, even Lee has crushed her in the field of written material. Sakura had and still has nothing interesting about her.

> Sasuke left the village
> She decides to get stronger and tag along Naruto to bring him back

^She wasn't even doing that for herself. She was doing it because she wanted to have the strength to being Sasuke back. Do tell, if Sasuke never left the village then she would never even think about wanting to get stronger. Sshe would just waste her years blushing at Sasuke like a fapgirl.

But yes, to answer your original question in quick terms, no. She doesn't and never had a backstory. This also questions in my mind why she still has fans. What is interesting about her? Do people like seeing some girl cry over a boy the entire show? That's quite sad.

Even Tsunade has a backstory and she was introduced way after Sakura. This is beyond pathetic.

Well said. People dislike sakura probably because they feel she doesn't deserve to be a main character in the first place, because they cant find her importance to the plot as she has no background. Anybody can replace a medic ninja clone of tsunade. Sakura's aspiration to become a good shinobi was solely formed by her lust for sasuke, rather than personal goals (ex- lee) or inspiration (hinata)

Anybody can't replace Sakura...they need her perfect level of chakra control in order to inherit Tsunade's jutsu

Kishimoto intended her to be a normal person...thus the lackluster back-story about mundane things such as bullying and having a childhood crush. From her fight in the chuunin exams part of it also seems to have been wanting to step out of Ino's shadow.

You use we a lot...but i don't really agree with you.

 

[1Told]

i red that Kishimoto wanted her to be a nobody, also she was probably created only for the love triangle crap his editor told him to do and he never really planned her entire background and evolution, stuff happened because the MC and his fav character changed so he had to change her too...

the fact that she became Tsunade student was only because both Sasuke and Naruto became students of 2 other legendary saniin, it's pretty obvious it was the only way to show a more grown up part 2 Sakura + the nex GEN saniin.

imo Sakura would have been more valuable with Kurenai as a teacher, also i'm pretty sure that Kishimoto didn't wanted to put Hinata in team 7 and destroyed her to begin with and maybe he had already planned the other teams enough to be satisfied so he simply did his best with this rickety character called Sakura.

tbh, when i saw Karin, it was like the missing parts of her character suddenly appeared, that's why Karin is more interesting than her for me :erm:


it doesn't mean he 100% hates her (even if it's clearly sadistic from him to use such a cliché character aka the shojo stupid tomboy pink haired girl, superficial/selfish/immature etc) i just think he was never interested to work more on her character and no he didn't do this with every females...

Sakura is not interesting because Kishimoto wanted her to be like this: basic :dunno:
