[Spoilers] Spoilers: Hinata outshining Sakura at her own game.

[Traffy]

That's the root of the whole problem with Sakura. It's now apparent that Kishimoto might be regretting or even admitting his mistake with Sakura's character. If this is Sakura's only purpose, then it is very offending to females. I've already started hearing it on youtube a few minutes ago. Sakura does not represent the females in naruto, but she is the MAIN females, she's suppose to be at the center stage, being badass and self-independent. She's suppose to be a strong female character. My problem is that She has no unique abilities, that are only unique to her. She relies on the standard shonen female archetype to get by. Kishi has admitted his mistake, by making skura a medical ninja, becauae now she has to stay on the sidelines while fodders and secondary female characters like Ten Ten steal the spotlight. It's becoming clearer that Kishi is using the medical ninja rules to explain why sakura isn't fighting, which works to his advantage and it can cover up his mistake. it seems to me like kishi has plans for the whole konoha 11 except sakura because she has rules to stay on the sideline.

I wouldn't count her out just yet, the battle is far from over and Kishi is full of surprises. Although if all she did do was heal people for the rest of the battle then I would be a bit disappointed even though she would be doing her job.

hinata is also a medic yet she was on the frontlines, im sure that there were even fodder medics on the frontline. yet sakura wasn't even in this chapter....smh

Hinata's not a medic.

 

[Gokillerz]

sakura's is in the next chapter

 

[iKaras]

Why is it that every time Hinata does something it's somehow attached to Sakura? Appreciate a character for what he/she does, not for what someone else didn't do. Also Sakura would never be on the front line as she is a medical ninja and follows Tsunade's medic laws as stated here:

You must be registered for see images

Though I agree that Sakura shouldn't be on the front lines...a single panel is probably at this point asking for too much. She'll get her shine once Sasuke is done with whatever he's doing with team Taka and Oro.

 

[iKaras]

And all Sakura did was absolutely nothing again.....

:scorps:

She is doing stuff. It's just that its not important enough to draw on a panel.

 

[Boltzy]

Sorry but who is Sakura again? (I stared reading Naruto from chapter 598 and on) never heard of her.

One does not simply....start at manga 598 -.-

 

[CARNAGE98]

heh, yeah you go Hinata!:T_T:xd

Anyways, Sakura doesn't really belong on the front line, medics should be the ones at the back otherwise they would get slaughtered, and the alliance would be worse off in the long run, she's important (I would think) in getting the wounded back up and all, but still awesome how Hinata was able to help Naruto again right when he needed it

 

[Honord Sage]

Hinata is now the First Lady of the Manga.

 

[Spartan117]

Hinata is now the First Lady of the Manga.

+1

Hinata is behind naruto's back protecting him now. In fact she has protected him more than anyone.

 

[apple pie of doom]

I thought Sakura's game was friendzoning Naruto and make him feel bad.

I hardly see how Hinata beat her at that.

 

[Twin Steps]

Well, that's to be expected

My problem is that She has no unique abilities, that are only unique to her. Sakura is not a terrible person, she is just a bad designed character.

Kishimoto made her a "normal girl" and now it looks like that came back to bite him in the butt. She is now just "meh". The average joe, the average female. Nothing unique about her. It's now apparent that sakura's purpose was to balance out naruto & sasuke's tragedies and because of that, she has nothing special to offer.

She relies on the standard shonen female archetype to get by. Kishi has admitted his mistake, by making sakura a medical ninja, because now she has to stay on the sidelines while fodders and secondary female characters like Ten Ten steal the spotlight.

I don't think it would be very useful to have regrets about creating a character, he has a story to focus on. If he had regrets about her, he wouldn't be practicing what his own characters preach. "It's too late to have regrets," or "The moment I second-guess myself it's all over."

 

[Honord Sage]

Point of Fact No one but Hinata could have heeled Naruto in the middle of battle, For Sakura or any Medic they would have to pull Him of the battle feel His arm to find the dislocation point before setting in,Do you think Obito or Madara were going to stop to let Sakura fix the shoulder? No Only Hinata with Her eyes can see the separation and reset it at that speed in the middle of combat.

 

[Melanee]

I think Sakura's not part of the main panels at the moment because she can't really relate to Neji's death in the way Naruto, Hinata and Lee can, and the same for Ino and Shikamaru with their parents. Hinata being there and helping Naruto is all she ever dreamed of doing and she's getting that chance, she's finally shinning and it was thanks to her cousin's sacrifice.

Sakura's role will probably revolve more around their meeting with Sasuke again.

Too cry again? or to sep up and do what is right, That is the question.

You are absolutely correct , I agree that she will play a role once Sasuke returns to the battlefield because a majority of Sakura's character involves around Sasuke sadly. If Sakura doesn't get good involvement when Sasuke shows, then Kishi really has forgotten Sakura lol, I'm just saying.

 

[AaaaNinja]

I kinda think, I'm not sure because I'm only recalling a couple of examples, where Sakura entered a funk when big things happened without her, where she'd become depressed that she isn't able to do anything. She could have retreated into herself, or further into the background as a result. If it turns out she's needed for a certain thing and she's discovered like this, she could be a weakness for the Alliance; if she's not part of the specific plan but her skills are needed for support. In the same way that it seems Hinata isn't part of the plan but is already carrying out tasks to make it go smoothly.

 

[Melanee]

She needs to punch Sasuke in greeting if they all end up reunited in a good way, then do as she pleases. lol

All joking aside, none of the med-nins are chakra-powered because they can't enter the battle without the chance of being killed so she's sort of stuck with her duty at the moment.

Yes, instead of punching Naruto and complaining about Naruto She needs to punch some sense into Sasuke, but will She do it? Thats the question.

Wait are you making that up? I didn't see anybody left behind when the bird flew. Every ninja drawn on the page was powered-up.

 

[Melanee]

I hope so. Everytime she did it to Sai I would wonder what would happen if Sasuke was on the receiving end? lol

You can love someone purely... but not to the point of ceasing up in front of them, unable to do anything but allow your emotions to overcome you and nearly get you killed! That is not the strong-willed Sakura that Chiyo said she was.

Chiyo said in foreshadowing that Naruto would be Hokage and Sakura would surpass Tsunade, so let's see the proof! Naruto's doing his part already!

Wait are you making that up? I didn't see anybody left behind when the bird flew.

Oh sorry, I didn't specify! lol I was referring to why she wasn't centered or shown in the panels on the main battlefield when Naruto was giving chakra to everyone. Right now if she's part of the bird, then she's at the back where it's safe.
