Kishimoto is messing with minds of teen girls

If there are tween girls reading this manga, chances are they are here to see the romance. That's all good, we all hope Kishi writes something worth reading in that department as well.

It's common knowledge Kishi can redeem irredeemable characters making them out to be people you could have been friends with, if only...
Kishimoto is free to write Sasuke to be anything he wants him to be and make him into this kind character, which would make SasuSaku understandable in the end.
I wouldn't mind seeing it, mostly so my actual OTP is guaranteed.

But here's the problem: Real life people don't work that way and some young girl reading this manga may think they do.

Things Sasuke has been through and his past behavior score him quite high on the psychopathy and narcissism scale. He isn't a full fledged psychopath for several reasons, but he certainly has shown himself ****ed up enough to fit into a large array of criteria which lean towards it and open a palette of personality disorders. People with personality disorders and with a past as Sasuke's are 99,9% of the time irreparable. If one is interacting with such a person, they are advised to back the fu*k away and stay away by every responsible psychologist.

Such people become and stay abusers, co-dependent, abused, depending on their personality. Kishi may be free to commend Sakura and call her sweet for wanting to save Sasuke, for not giving up on Sasuke, via Kakashi's inner monologue, but in the real world we don't call that sweet, we call it stupid.

The reason Naruto is not as stupid as Sakura in wanting to "save Sasuke" is because Naruto can stand up to Sasuke. There is 0.1% chance to heal such a person and it requires one to act as a new parent. You have to be able to stand up to them once they cross the line, and re-educate them. Only Naruto's pushy personality and power are on par with Sasuke's, in order to have any chance to "save him". (Not a yaoi fan, I mean in a platonic relationship.)

"I can save him from the dark." is the mantra of every female victim of long-lasting abuse.
All we need is the "Look what you made me do." said by Sasuke, and we have us a Naruto Springer show.

[Reraru]

The truth has been said.

Smarter teenage girls won't be fooled by such a childish manga though

I honestly thought that Sasuke was trying to chop through Sakura in this panel, Zabuza and Haku style haha.

This is where we are? Trying to bring real life into a manga just to prove your disapproval?

 

[cowardly1]

Wow...I...agree...although I've repeated these sentiments numerous times myself; of course they were not taken so kindly by supporters of the maligned pairing...

Kishi simply doesn't understand people. That is the most glaring issue in his manga, at least since the latter half of Part II.

spoken like a real teenage girl, amen to that, sister

Awesome insight! I love this thread

As a past victim of domestic violence myself, I can agree with the fact females tend to stay with that person while everyone calls her stupid. My ex never tried to actually kill me per say (tho he did threaten it a lot) but if he did try to shoot me with a gun or something, I highly doubt I would've stuck around

In the case with Sakura, it's him trying to stab her with chidori and then again later on but she still has feelings for him. Definitely a horrible move on Kishi's part. Part of her character development should have been to grow OUT of that infatuation and face the reality that Sasuke was a traitor to the Leaf.

That would have made her much more of a role model. An actual strong women. Not a strong woman still making childish (and outright dangerous) decisions.

Femmefatale would disagree. She would say all girls are idiots like Sakura. That's how girls are -.-

 

[Made in Heaven]

Its kishis way if doing it, so whatever.

Also this is fiction not real life

 

[Flakez]

I can see this thread getting hot.

Nice one, btw.

Yes, he does, he's just targeting this Manga for a Shonen audience. If you read Kishimoto's Mario, you'd see that he can be darkly realistic.

Bro this isn't Romance Manga
XD

All girls should hate sakura, she likes abuse and that's not something good

 

[Punk Hazard]

Kinda like Stockholm Syndrome eh? I think Sakura just caught Narutoitis, his determination to save Sasuke has reassured her it's possible, and I'm pretty sure she intends for Team 7 to save Sasuke together by giving him the family he lost back again in a new form, not just by herself.

But what you're saying is definitely understandable.

I think he was actually attacking one of the Shadow Madara .... the angle of Sword is far to awkward to slice throgh either Sakura or Madara or both .... not to mention Sasuke unlike Sakura knows that simple slicing would not help in defeating Madara in the slightest.
