Kishi's horrible writing - Sakura

[Ken Kaneki]

Dude this argument is ridiculous

I'm sure most of us could see her removed from the manga, and it wouldn't make a big deal. Rock Lee, TenTen, Neji and every secondary character aren't really important at all either.

The story consists of Sasuke + Naruto + Villians. No one else gets development like the Main character and Uchiha's.

Otherwise story is about Naruto and his meeting with different kinds of Uchihas


In regards to "relevance" in NARUTO-VERSE..
Sakura is far superior than anyone from her generation except Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara.

You forget Obito , Kakashi, Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Itachi, Jiraya , Minato etc. Each of these have so less panel time, yet they bring a new turn to the story

 

[Blejziken]

Well, I have no intention of going into any useless argument.

I saw a lot (and by that I mean a lot) of anime and manga, from all eras since 70s, and probably even earlier, various genres, and countless characters...

Sakura is one of more decent female heroines in general.

In any case, you guys are so adamant in pointing out how she is bad character, that it seems to me that you simply hate her; otherwise, I don't think she would be so important to you to even mention her.

Why not then spend your time talking about females that you like in this series?

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Orhime actually remain relevant to the Bleach's plot, Sakura was just there.

Yup not to mention how multi-dimensional her personality is. She can go goofy to serious in quick time. I would say even her powers suit her. They don't look so misplaced.

Bleach gave a personality to females which is a standout for me. Naruto females can't match that.

OT: Sakura is pretty average female character. Just a normal villager turned main character.

 

[Blejziken]

Orhime actually remain relevant to the Bleach's plot, Sakura was just there.

She really wasn't important before Hueco Mundo arc, and even then all there was to her character was saying Kurosaki-kun all the time.

Rukia is okay, but I don't really see her all that much as heroine anymore, she is pretty much like just one of Shinigami now.

But, in her defense, I think she is in situation most of characters are, both male and female, and that is because, IMO, Ichigo takes away any spotlight from others, whenever he appears to saves the day, which is a really bad thing.

Unless you are Ichigo, Kenpachi, Toshiro, Byakuya, and maybe, just maybe Renji and Uryu, you aren't important, even if you are powerful.

Best example of this is probably Yasutora who is considered one of the main characters, but even in Fullbring arc which was suppossed to be his, he got his place stolen by focusing on Ichigo bringing back his powers.

What? Are you crazy ?
Now you wants to compare Sakura with the Legends like Hashirama and Hokages?
Sakura should be compared only to secondary characters and others females


Obito and Madara are the main villains of Part 2. They had much more panel time than Sakura.
Itachi is the main villain until Pein and Sasuke's brother who massacred the uchiha clan.

I already said. No one else gets development like the Main character and Uchihas
Otherwise story is about Naruto with Uchihas

Minato is the Forth Hokage and the Father of the protagonist
Hashirama first Hokage.
Tobirama is the Second.



Kakashi has more panel time than Sakura.


Let's not forget.
Without Sharingan Kakashi is useless.
Kakashi admitted. Sakura is more useful than thim
Kakashi got ghost sharingan with Susanoo because he was feeling useless

Sakura is the only one who didnt receive any powers through bloodline; Kekkei Genkai, tailed beast or the sage.

Anyway Sakura is a FEMALE not A MAN.
Did you wants to compare her with a male characters in a sexist manga?

Tsunade, Chiyo, and part 1 Hinata were decent characters.

You're right, Tsunade and Chiyo were both pretty well written, and I wish that characters like Tenten, Temari, and Ino got some more screentime and development (Tenten especially.) Hinata had a LOT of potential, but part 2 just washed away her dreams of changing the Hyuga clan and becoming stronger and replaced it with 'Naruto-kuuuuuuuuuuun!'

 

[Conspirator.]

I agree. If Sakura was a side character, I wouldn't be so bothered by her development, since she had done a lot of good things on the sidelines. But she isn't a side character. Lol

 

[1Told]

the orphan stuff was the first trigger for me and the fact that she punched and used Naruto like a toy all along the manga sealed the deal forever, i could have ignored her if this never happened tbh because she's not relevant neither interesting as a character or for the story.

i remember my first though when i saw her was that girl is freaking fugly and annoying af :wesobi:

 

[UchihaKira]

Sakura in part 1 was implied to have issues with her parents and her clan(implied by the symbol she always has) is never explained. All because she was unpopular according to Kishi.

Hmm I dont recall that, probably because I havent read all the way through part 1 in a while. Do you have a chapter I can reference where its stated she had parental problems?

 

[Ownfoolz]

Yet she was important enough to stay alive through the entire show, how unfortunate U_U

 

[JorgeTown]

Yet she was important enough to stay alive through the entire show, how unfortunate U_U

I guess Kishimoto didn't know what to do with her. Being as she was never his idea to begin with

Oh well. What can you do

 

[Made in Heaven]

Yet she was important enough to stay alive through the entire show, how unfortunate U_U

Staying alive doesn't equal importance.

 

[Ken Kaneki]

A good death has its own rewards

 

[Honord Sage]

You do not have to worry about Sakura with Sasuke still doing His walkabout She has to stay in the village to take care of their daughter and only do in the village jobs and work at the hospital. The only trouble She can get into is with Her cooking Her Daughter is skinny and small a good indication of Bad tasting cooking. So don’t worry about Sakura and Her character development,She is not the leading Lady that Job belongs to Hinata.

 

[Beatrix]

Tolerable side character - terrible main character.

Look at the development the rest of her team got; Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki.
All of them have backstories so vast the eclispe pretty much every other character in the series - put them together and they overshadow Sakura in the most ridiculous way.

Then look at the development Naruto's eventual love interest got; Hinata Hyuga, Hyuga Clan, Curse Seal, Neji Hyuga etc.

Then we have Sakura...
It's been said there was supposed to be a "clan thing" or other issues with her parents (ones not seen in canon is that so? That don't revolve around her being the biggest **** in the manga for resenting the fact she's not an orphan and "free" to do as she likes, to not be embarrassed by their existence - at age 16/17).
That this was not done because she was "unpopular".

... that makes no sense.

If anything the fact that she was unpopular but was set to remain a 'main character' should have been incredible incentive for Kishi/others to have her backstory/family etc more developed.

Sounds like they gave up on her.

Sakura does lack a lot of development in many ways, including her background, fights and Kishi should've portrayed her feeligs in a better way or at least write a better reason for them. However, I still think she is great for overcoming her lack of power, the fact that she didn't belong to any prestigious clan and because she was confident and a hard worker. In part 1, I think the fact that she is mean to Naruto and selfish is just natural for her age and especially if she didn't share the same traumatic background as both Sasuke and Naruto, she is just a spoiled girl. In school, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" and children can be really cruel to the weakest ones. Sakura was just a representation of the village's reactions towards Naruto and we all know 12 year old girls always fangirl over the coolest guy. Even so, at least she managed to mature to someone selfless who would care a lot about others and Naruto, someone who still hopes and believes in the good in Sasuke and she does have awesome skills.

 

[Shruikan]

I would say she is a average character and considering the fact that she is able to fight on par with dojutsu users like Hinata proves that she did try to avert her fodder fate but yes certainly among the best females in the manga.I would rate her a 6 on 10

I still like her personality though.I find her funny and tomboyish xD

She didn't really overcome her lack of power. Her goal was to catch up to her teammates and not be a in distress all the time. Which she failed at.

She can't shine more than Naruto or Sasuke or as much as,since she is a female, and she did get way stronger so in a way she did overcome the lack of power she had in part 1.

I have yet to see a shonen manga out of the 3-4 I read in which a female heroine caught up power scaling wise to the MC and his rival.Generally girls dont get spotlight in powerups in shonen
