We get obvious foreshadowing to characters next power ups yet everyone still calls ass pull. Sasuke and naruto's new powerups aren't ass pulls they are powerups that have been inevitable for quite a while get over it oblivious fanboys

Fanboys are the ones who say a such thing like "asspull" .

Very few powerups in the Naruto series could remotely even be called "asspulls". Even Izanami has support to back it up.

Only ass pulls I see in the series are the explanations for them. Sakura's Yin Seal is a main example for me.

The only power-up that bugs me is the Yin-Seal. It's not an asspull but it would have been nice if there was more build up do it as opposed to nearly none at all.

The whole naruto series is a asspull, and why not complained about that?

Sooo you say that, I hope you aren't one of the people who call Sakura's an asspull then.

Because basically being under Tsunade and it's the main thign we know tsunade has and its background to medical ninjutsu. I find that most Sakura fans and everyoen in general should have know this was coming. Blatantly foreshadowed or not.

How is it unlikely for someone to learn the techniques of her master?

I agree with op

That's why I said the explanations for them. Not the thing itself.

Sakura's seal really had no build-up, no clues, hints, or anything. Right when it comes for Kishi to make her have a moment he just shoves in the excuse of "holding Chakra for 3 years" I don't care about the seal, but how Kishi handled her obtaining it.

well all haters said about any character who had a power up an asspull power up but for me every single power up is need so that the story can process

because It should have been hinted, like Tsunade telling her how to focus chakra in a part of her body...

I think there is more complaints about Sakura's yin seal and that's because Kishi didn't do so well in foreshadowing it. I would've appreciated a little more hints, but for her to have it didn't exactly surprise me that much.
