Although Sakura is a main character, her character is not well written and it does NOT represent a realistic womanly figure. I am not going to rant but im going to give evidence as to why Sakura isn't a main character material so people can stop using the phrase "That's your opinion" ITS MANGA FACTS im using, so its closer to the truth! this is about looking at both the good and bad so don't think this is a biased thread.


Her teamwork

Dont get me wrong, i would be a legit "hater" if i claimed that Sakrua had NEVER shown any sign of teamwork because she did a good job WITH chiyo on Sasori, considering she had little to no experience with S-ranked ninja

After realizing she couldnt do anything alone at this point she allowed Chiyo to control her so i give her merit for using her initiative BUT this fight got to her head and her confidence after this turned into arrogance. with her new found experience and victory came the recklessness.

Naruto tails incident
when Naruto was facing Orochimaru, Yamato explicitly warned her not to go near Naruto yet she decided to do otherwise and run into a mindless Naruto hoping to accomplish what exactly?

If Yamato hadn't jumped in when he did Sakura would of had some serious wounds, worst than the one she had gotten originally. This is both selfish as well as reckless since she had knowledge of the situation and still decided to get in the way.

Sakura even realizes that she can not do that much for naruto

Pain arc

Moving on from that, there is the Pain arc where she did as ordered and healed the wounded... for a while and then she decided to spectate the main fight. now im not going to have a go at this because she wasn't the only person to do so but where was her recklessness when Naruto was about to get impaled? Hinata was the only one to jump in a stall as well as trigger kyyubi. Though what Hinata did was reckless, she had NO team to work with and her courage for going out there by herself clearly shows us just how committed she was. Sakura however did make the decision that they needed to get hinata out of the commotion and heal her so again, another merit. (All of this was ultimately pointless since Rinne tensei got casted afterwards but how was anybody to know this? )

Danzo arc

The next time was her putting her teammates to sleep so she could single handedly go after Sasuke and we all know how that turned out

This is demonstrating just how selfish Sakura is whenever it comes to Sasuke and her judgement is clouded as a result, but ill touch more on character later. The fact that she wasn't willing to work as a team also shows ignorance and stupidity. Kakashi had come just n time to parry the chidori.
Not long after Sasuke went blind and lets keep in mind he now has legitimately tried to kill her and yet...

Ignoring explicit orders for her own safety and for the great or good of the mission and almost got herself killed when Kakashi could have ended the mission.

Saved by someone else yet again. Plot shield had saved her once again. She knew full well that she couldn't do it and yet recklessly went in. Remember she didn't even know Sasuke was blind so she was planning to fight a MS sasuke.. This is putting even more of a burden on Kakashi and are making Naruto and Kakashi fret unnecessarily. Im just saying, if they really care for Sakura then why must she act so carelessly and put her life at risk, knowing people are going to worry? if that's not selfish then i don't know what is.

War arc

And now we come to the most recent one! She came from Kamui with NO INTEL on the current battlefield, didn't think to ask any questions and made assumptions, rushing in telling everyone she will be a diversion while she is running.

She got saved again after that and didn't cause much of a distraction. People can view this as either her risking her life selflessly to benefit the fight or they can see my point of view. The thing is it wasn't selfless because she knew Naruto and Kakashi was going to worry for her and she didnt know weather the distraction was going to be successful or not. Though she is using the 4th medic rule, she is not utilizing it to its fullness. Tsunade at least knew what she was dealing with.

However i cant just talk about the bad, before that she did help aid Tsuande in healing quite a lot of People via yin seal and Katsuyu so her ability to heal massively is something no one can necessarily take way from Sakura.

Sakuras Character Development
You must be registered for see images

Sakura has made little character development since part one and im not even being biased here. From part 1 she has had a crush on Sasuke and back then it was a bit cute but once you go into a time skip you would think she would have realized life by then. Okay fair enough your going to go and rescue your teammate but for god sakes let the past stay in the past. Hebi sasuke was very clear by his emotions in Orochimaru arc that he had no feelings for Sakura and yet she was still lusting after her. That is not a typical real life reflection of a woman and if people think it is then i think that's a very big insult to women. Your basically saying your/they are incapable of letting go feelings for a man regardless of what he says and does to her; even resent her.

He was prepared to use Kirin and kill them all and you Sakura fans are telling me that despite Sasuke attempting to pierce her with Chidori blade

That she isn't confused? it doesn't stop their either

Anything Sasuke Related, Sakuras judgment and reasoning are all thrown out of the window and this is basically connoting that a woman always needs a man to drive her, to push her and also says that women are arrogant. This is not a real life portrayal of women.

It wasn't even just Sasuke, she had a try with Naruto too!

Im being dead serious now, i honestly believe she was thirsty here. Why else would she come up with such a poor speech? We all know she doesnt liek naruto and Naruto himself...

You must be registered for see images


Wasn't buying her little speech.

SHE BARELY KNOWS SASUKE! they had little form of conversation in part one and even less in shippuden. How is it logical for someone to risk their life for someone they barely know? that's not love that's stupidity. At least Naruto has an excuse. Its not like shes oblivious to the fact that Sasuke was a douche towards her because she Explicitly said it
You must be registered for see images

So i don't understand how someone can be so daft and still have feelings for a person she doesn't even know.

You must be registered for see images


Up till recent chapters shes still looking for Sasukes affection which 100% confirms that the confessions was a load of bull. She is always trying to impress people to show everyone what she can do without regards to those around her.


People say she is hated because she cant compare to the rest of Team 7 and she hasn't got any OP eyes but thats a load of bull. Its her character and the fact that she always feels it necessary to make people worry thus giving them burdens they don't need. Plot shield has saved her far too often and its clear that there are a lot of people that care for her well being.

Ill have to stop this here though, hope you guys enjoyed and share your serious view on it. I personally dont like Sakura as a character but Sakrua fans need to realize that just because someone doesn't like sakura it doesn't mean they are a hater. Haters are biased. Ive just proven that i am not of that category. You cant let personal judgment cloud your view on a character.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think she's a well written character at all.

She has only done the little things, but nothing that can seriously affect the storyline

The things that come to mind would be

Fighting sasori along with chiyo
Saving Naruto along with obito
Protecting Naruto/sasuke along with lee + team 8

The funny part is, in all three cases, she's not even the main focus; its chiyo who does the majority of the fighting and Intel, she's the one who kills sasori and its thanks to her mother-father puppets.

Its obito who is credited by the 8 tails for saving Naruto's life, with the mention or acknowldgedment of sakura's deed.

its lee who protects Sakura when her booby traps fails, and team 8 also pitch in while she doesn't really do much other than bite zaku's arm

Kinda pathetic tbh

So you where serious about that realisation thread.

On personal note, I would focus on emphasizing her poor character developement more than decisions she has made... but I cant disagree with a single word you said.

And I just want to say, if someone was to do the same to my favourite character, I would respect their opinion just because they put so much work into it.

I have nothing against Sakura and am completely content with her.

But..
I completely agree that Sasori fight really amped up her arrogance.

Teamwork - Her recklessness is what makes her realistic. Sakura is a smart level-headed shinobi but as Kishi has stated she represents human weakness which is her letting her morals and feelings take over. Sakura is a girl who despises seeing others being killed even if they have to die. That's why she couldn't bring herself to kill Sasuke. That's why she couldn't bring herself to kill Obito by taking out his eye. That's why she became a medic. That's why she's realistic. Imagine if YOU were in a world where you had to kill others for a living. I bet you would be the same way.

Sakura's character development - Sakura wasn't trying to save Sasuke because she's in love with him. Like Naruto she wants to save him because of their bond. Kakashi even said that her feelings for Sasuke aren't the same as in part 1. Sakura doesn't like this new Sasuke she likes the Old Part 1 Sasuke who was willing to die to save his comrades.
