Sakuras Shanaro

[ATD]

Im not a sakura hater, she did a great job in the war and she has the potential to surpass tsunade soon, but her fans often use the arguments in vs matchups that her punch to the ground is not avoidable.

She killed a lot of mini jubis with this attack, but that doesnt mean she can one shot every skilled ninja with this punch.
To me it is clear, ninjas who are having a bit intel on her kowing that her punch to the ground will splitt the earth, will be able to only have to jump away from her.

Her attack is very predictable, she jumps in the air striking out her fist and screams: Shanaaroo !
Part 1 naruto( fight with sasuke at the vally of the end) was able to close the distance from the hashirama stone monument to the madara monument in a second with a jump.

Every other ninja should be able to jump out of the radius of sakuras punch.
What do you guys think about this ?

"Shannaro" Punch Analysis​

Sakura is running behind Naruto and Sasuke.

She takes one hit at a juubi clone and sends him far out passed Naruto and Sasuke. Now she takes 1 leap into the air.

Lets look at the distance Sakura makes with 1 leap. The punch made the clone go flying with enough speed to zoom passed Naruto and Sasuke. With 1 leap Sakura makes up almost the same distance with her speed.

In the aftermath of the punch we see Sakura in front of Naruto and Sasuke looking almost like a dot indicating how far of a distance she made. They are seen covering themselves from feeling a bit of the shockwave of the punch but of course with the distance she made they weren't in range of the attack.

We have seen this quite a lot and it has already been discussed how much destruction came from the punch and how many enemies were taken out. But lets do a review, we see all the giant pieces of earth in the air and the height at which the enemies go up.

Now lets say enemies do survive the initial blast, that blast will have to in someway injure the opponent or at least put them off their balance in a groggy state to fall down to the ground from a dangerously high height. If the opponent survives that then they deal with the giant pieces of earth flying down to crush them.

Its not just a punch to the ground, the opponents have to deal with the shockwave and aftermath which can be just as brutal as the punch itself.

The wttack is predictable, but the destruction can't be measured

 

[ATD]

.............................

Sasuke and naruto stopped running after sakura hit the mini jubi, thats why she managed to land in front of them
and the distance between them in the picture, sakura standing in front of sasuke and naruto isn't that far, so the impact of the jutsu of sakura wasn't go that bright, the impact is more going upright, so it would be easy to dodge the punch with the same jump sakura does.
Ninjas can jump very far, it should be no problem avoiding that punch.

Sakura hack such lack in feats that an analysis was done on one of her best feats. You Sakura fans are hardcore

Your leap analysis is flawed. The way the shot is angled, the birdseye view makes it look like her leap was far when it fact, she only jumped high. If she was closer to the ground and the she was still close to the fodder then thats accurate speculation. Your basing it off a shot which makes it appear as if she's leaping far and Fanboys fall for that illusion. Her distance between Naruto and Sasuke is nothing in particularly special and im not hating but 15-20 meteres? (Rough estimation) impressive but not impressive enough to call it a valid "feat".


It was a JUMP it wasn't speed and as usual Kishimoto has skipped to parts where it makes Sakura appear like she has FTG speed. If your expecting him to show sakura running every meter untill she gets to the target then i really dont know what to say to you.

The speculation made on the jump starts to turn into a misinterpretation of the shots taken.


The impact of the punch is only infront of her, otherwise her, Sasuke and Naruto would of been caught in the punch. I notice you didnt do any analysis of the drawback of her punch. IF the punch does in fact cause that much rubble and dust to kick up, she then can not see her enemy. Please also note Sasuke and Naruto stopped moving after she started er assault.

And you cant accurately measure the attack from a 2D still-image perspective.

lol it wasnt a jump, she leaped forward. She passed Naruto and Sasuke with her speed and caught up with the clone she hit, you can literally see

you that she is moving forward and not just going up in the air.

If you want to talk about birds eye view well she wasnt exactly right under the clone she hit but she made up almost the same distance, she isnt that high up in the air.

I dont even understand what you mean when you say its only infront of her, you are literally blind if you dont see destruction from all sides. You dont even make sense. Sakura leaped forward so no one would be hit by her punch, which is why Naruto and Sasuke were not caught, you really dont make any sense.

And lol if she hit anyone with this attack, Sakura wouldnt have to worry about not seeing anything from dust as the opponent would be dead or seriously injured.

Your argument was a joke bro. You literally came up with BS to attack my argument and you failed hard.

Well this was indeed a great counter.

Well this was indeed a great counter.

you guys dont give up, quite frankly it woulds be a waste of time

 

[Power Bottom]

The punch is ko for most ninjas who

A.) Don't have the durability to survive it or

B.) Don't have a justu to dodge it

 

[super yang]

No, the punch is not a ko for actual ninjas , OP.
and it didn't kill any juubilings either, but knocked some away & stunned some that couldn't get out of each others way.

its not a proper ninjutsu, nor does it have any direct or precise 1vs 1 tactical implications or utility. the jump does leave her open as well as the ensuing dust cloud.

there is no offensive/radiant heat/collateral destruction property to the AoE of the technique as the launching effect comes from the catapulting earth... its not C2 clay or Zukkoku. this is the biggest myth.

and while it can be done from a dead neutral pose, the tremor build-up is still relatively slow & casually dodgeable by fully sentient opponents, w/o even using their trusty D-rank jutsu... its not a fuu'ton.

it works on Sais chojuu giga or Kidomarus web shenanigans? sure...its a -crude- tactical implement used to buy time/space
So, say..it stops Mifune from blitzing her 4 example~

but to say it works on Darui/Asuma, or even Kiba/Shino?... nope.jpg
only in biased fanfics

It's not a ps slash, it can be measured

 

[ATD]

The punch is ko for most ninjas who

A.) Don't have the durability to survive it or

B.) Don't have a justu to dodge it

B) many ninjas have shunshin (fusing chakra in the foot speed)
Sakuras punch only destroys things in front of her, so one can easily jump over her to her back and one is safe.

Extremely false; Sakura's punch destroys everything in the surrounding area.

 

[ATD]

She passed Naruto and Sasuke with her speed and caught up with the clone she hit

The problem is in the same link you showed naruto and sasuke stopped running and both were turning back to look what sort of noise they could have heard (naruto was surprised, leads me to think the punch against the jubiclone was loud)

After they stopped running and just standing there the clone passed the 2 of them. (ofc due to sasuke and naruto are not moving)

its not really that special that sakura jumps as fast as she hit the clone, she pushed off from the ground after all, which leads to more speed, every ninja can do that, part 1 naruto closed the distance between hashirama monument to the madara monument in 1 sec, cause he pushed off from sth.

lets go back to the destruction range

You must be registered for see images

Sakuras back showed in the direction of naruto and sasuke (The distance between them isn't that big), the area behind sakura is damaged just a little bit.
Don't get me wrong the destruction in front of her is impressive, but it would make no sense if there is an radius around sakura ( she would hit herself if the earth would split directly under her)

here back in the days of early shippuden the smaller version of the war arc shanaro

You must be registered for see images

it works the same, the area behind sakura is not that much damaged than the area in front of her, she is not the central point of the impact, she creates the most destruction in front of her.

Like femme said by herself, her punch is predictable so one can easily jump pass sakura when she is still in the air to avoid the critical destruction.

Btw after the attack sakura seemed to be a bit drained, cause she didn't noticed the big fat jubi clone and couldn't react to him (naruto and sasuke did the job)
So the punch has more weaknesses.

 

[ATD]

Extremely false; Sakura's punch destroys everything in the surrounding area.

Not really, because she would blow herself up

 

[TheEvilOne]

Not really, because she would blow herself up

And why would she? It would be awkward if she would kill herself with her own technique.
At any rate, this is irrelevant because the manga itself has shown she destroys everything around her.

 

[Zee U]

A completely worthless attack againts anyone with sensing or enhanced vision, like the Dojutsus, or anyone with reflexes superior to the user (and not being capable of dodging a Mokuton Needle isn't a really good evasion feat). Not only it leaves her open by jumping, but the dust cloud blinds Sakura as seen when the two Juubilings were about to rape her with her not noticing their movements, unscathed by the "explosion".

Just the same, old, unfocused attack. Nothing impressive.

 

[BenjerminGaye]

As nice as the attack is ppl overrated it's "Shockwave" calming that it killed all the juubi clones even though a Juubi clone snuck up on her the very next panel.

Those were new clones and much bigger.
