So, what is it exactly? Countless characters have received power ups, usually with no foreshadowing, warning, or reason, and it goes unnoticed. Why the interest in Sakura? Fans AND non fans seem to be utterly fixated on her, to the point that it has dominated every conversation; even here. She is just another character with whatever abilities. Why are you pulling out all the stops to either prove or disprove her powers? Wait till you see them first, for god sake. She has thrown one punch, jumped a quarter mile, then punched the ground. BAM, all the information you need to write twenty seven threads amirite?

My real question is, why? What do you love about Sakura so much that you can't stop talking about her?

Because she has a history of being utterly useless and some people can't seem to forget that and let it go.

The hardcore fanboys on the other hand are, well...fanboys.

It's actually because there are so many haters just sitting on the bandwagon that are angry they don't have someone to bash anymore.

It's because Sakura's character development is too wishy washy. One moment she actually does something then she's crying again. If Kishi put more time into character development I think there would be less haters for all characters.

My only complaint is the total lack of developement for the technique.

NOT ONCE was it hinted she had this ability. In fact, the Sasori fight was practically dead set saying, "this is the new Sakura"....didn't some of the titles say Sakura blossoms?

Back on topic. This came from literally NOWHERE. Not a single character other then maybee Itachi has had this happen (his Susanoo...).

On top of that, the excuse is, "Oh...had to spend three years collecting chakra for it....and conveniently now it is ready." Seriously?!




While it wouldn't fix the retardedness of the Chakra Charge concept, this would have prevented an ass pull.


Pain Arc: The Hyuga notifies Sakura that Naruto is pinned down

Sakura: Damn...if only I had more stored chakra...




^^^^Forshadowing isn't very hard....and when its used it makes for AMAZING writing. Look at One Piece. During Sabody Doflamingo says and Era of Smiles like a casual troll and 4/5 arcs later we figure out that ACTUALLY WAS SIGNIFICANT.

Now it makes sense that Sakura could learn this, but its crappy writing that Kishi made 0000 hints.


Not Sakura's fault....Kishi's fault.

We see Naruto train for Rasengan, we learn Oodoma Rasengan came from his 2 year training, we see him train Rasenshuriken and Sage Mode. We see him face Kurama.

We see Sasuke's will to live activate his sharingan. We see fighting Naruto awakens his 3 Tomoe. We see taking Itachi's eyes.


Nothing like that for Sakura other then medical healing.

Let's look at it this way
The NB is heavily divided between hating Sakura to loving Sakura with little to no middle man
The hate and love for Sakura are very intense on both sides, not unlike many other fan love/hate, except Sakura can be considered a fodder meaning that now that she has a new powerup, people will gush over this chapter, and people who hate her will focus their views on defending their bashing and debating people who are Sakura fans

But it's really feeding into hype, like when we discovered Tobirama's FTG
or a better example being the chapter where Itachi sealed Nagato into Totsuka, which led to many Itachi vs threads, most notably being Itachi vs Minato, the long, unsolved, really unsubstantial, due to lack of evidence on both sides, debate

And soon will come Sakura vs threads of this extent

In short, this is the cycle of events that will happen until the end, but what makes this more special is probably that Sakura has yet to show any great feats or hype besides medical jutsu and strength

The haters talk about her a LOT more than the fans. :sweat:

Sakura gaining her masters skills is a natural logical progression, just like Naruto learnt most of his techniques from Jiraya and Sasuke learning from Kakashi and Oro.

Furthermore, Sakura has done nothing yet she's only demonstrated enhanced speed and power. Wait till she starts summoning and who knows what else she learnt.

If anything this chapter have proved her detractors are a bunch of irrational deluded trolls. We Sakura fans were patiently waiting for years for this and I am over the moon with the fact that Kishi has begun to do Sakura's character justice. Note that I mention "begun" because I expect so much more to come and the trolls can eat crow.

What did they expect? That the war would end and would be standing in the sidelines. Thankfully Sakura fans had enough of a brain to realize her prominence would resurface once Sasuke is back in the picture.

Nothing really, there are the fangirls who are overhyping her now, and then there are those who are saying that nothing has changed and that she is still behind Naruto and Sasuke.

One replies to the other, they get butthurt and you now have a heated discussion.

I don't get something, did she release the jutsu or did she just show that she has finally stored up enough chakra to release the Jutsu?

Everyone is just excited team 7 is back together again. It's also fitting how:

Jiraiya trained Naruto

Orochimaru trained Sasuke

Tsunade trained Sakura

team 7 may be the strongest team in Naruto history.

I thought that if she had this power she also cudda used it when she was about to get "Uchiha Raped" by Sasuke at the bridge b4 she was saved, yet again, by Naruto... But this was actually the 3 year anniversary of when she started gathering chakra so thank God the actual war didn't start 3 days prior cuz she wudda died wit 99% of her required chakra stored...
