I guess he should spend his patience on hating Kishimoto instead since he's the one who created her, huh?Well no one is bothered with this detail. I'm surprised Mei was not listed - her having flashy abilities is enough to be counted as a "developed" character for many.
Thing is Sakura couldn't fall in love with Naruto ( guys don't like rejection) , still Naruto was longing her for a considerable period( annoying girls whose own target of crush is looking is focused on someone else and isn't even looking at them) was enough to get her hated to begin with. It didn't help that she had no Flashy tech or more exposed body to make her more interesting for fanservice lovers. On top of it some wanted their favourite character to get a girl with better gene-pool or clan ( arranging married for profit.. cough* and most of them would scream at arranged marriage idea.)
It didn't help that she was part of the team 7 with most OP characters of the manga and instead of just making sandwitches and being just another Rin( just a nice supporting medic+ damsel in distress to be protected), she kept trying to be able to keep up with them- Something which instantly would make her a target for misogynist fun by all.
In the end despite being the most developed female character, Sakura still doesn't satisfy expectations of many users because of one draw back on another as stated above. She has realistic ambitions and limits and weaknesses as well. But while making her Kishi constantly struggles to make a place for her in a shonnen where women are needed but not allowed to overshadow the males characters. Right there but a step behind.
Hinata on the other hand was presented as an ideal wife material for most of the guys out there- good figure, polite and devoted and she has bayakugan and inheritance of Hyuga clan to boot.
No one is going to question why she didn't try to take care of a wild Bolt drawing on hokage faces during such an important meet in the village. Shouldn't she be more alert about picking him from school and taking him to Neji's grave when his antics seem to be well known? No one would let Sakura get away with that kind of negligencep) if she was the final pairing. Even her child cannot be her own and her relationship must be abusive(Interestingly enough even some Sasuke fanboys join this idea- tells something about the kind of fan they were for that character) to satisfy the hate.
It's funny that people are so passionate about her character ( even if negatively) even after the ending of series when they are no longer discussing Naruto or Sasuke all that much. it can be a topic for a thesis.
Of course not. But you have infinite patience to hate imaginary character which didn't do anything personally to you.
The Last of Sakura's character.
- Thread starter RedRobin
- Start date
Every fictional story has imaginary characters. That still doesn't negate that we cant talk about them.
Of course she got what she wanted. Why wouldn't she get what she wanted? She cried, pleaded, begged and even pushed Naruto to get what she wanted. But guess what? She's still a 1 dimensional character with many flaws.
That seems to be the only thing in this entire story that mattered to her and even boosted her character, which is sad, considering that most of her development (negative) was impacted by negative actions from the guy she claimed to love.
Still don't think that's pathetic? That's laughable.

Yup.The fact that a whole essay needs to be typed on why she is not pathetic when there is nothing that deep to her character says it all.Also I had valid expectations from her even though I was not a fan.Needless to say I was disappointed.I didn't even get to know why she loved Sasuke because they have nothing in common honestly.Basically she wasted my time reading the manga as far as she is concernedWell no one is bothered with this detail.

And before you say I am talking about NS,I am not.It would have been better had she stayed single and NH have happened

That link for a blog from from a member is hardly anything but his opinion. I see him posting negatively all the time blindly ignoring everything which conflicts with his conclusions or view even slightly.
Why would I be wasting my time reading that crap? Unlike him I didn't waste my time reading or watching a series which would feel that horrible to me. If he is trying to make a living of sporking Naruto then it's up to him. His blog is at par with this OP:

I didn't explain any depth on Sakura's character. I was going in depth for the haters reasons. ^^ Seeing that you do not have patience to read long text, it's not surprising that you missed it. But if you would have you would probably disappointed again since you assumed it was about Sakura's character and it would be turned out about the hater's obsession with her.
Sakura was only 17. I don't see why a girl should remain single whether she got her love accepted or not. It would be even more stupid that she stays single for a guy who rejects her.
Your expectations were yours alone not the publishers or the writer. There were those who expected otherwise and your personal expectations do not make make their expectations or writer's opinion any less valid either. It was never about what you thought how it should be.

Not wasting my time. I noticed that blog some time back and it couldn't generate one percent interest in me. Defending what? She doesn't have very likable personality for anime watchers with little fanservice( neither flashy techs nor body) nor is complicated enough to make her interesting in other way. That's all to it. The hate for her is surreal though. She was never meant to make some extra impact on the story. Yet, people had too high expectations from her - more than Sasuke or Naruto even, it seems.

I have seen how Sasuke treated her throughout the manga.That tells me all I needed to know.It was a happy ending for Sasuke because he got love in his life but as far as Sakura goes the way she suffered for it and ended up with him sends a bad message.Murder attempts and "Sorry for what?" questions and the way she accepted his apology in the blink of an eye dont really help either.Realistically it would have made more sense if after he became a good guy it was actually shown progressively how she once again begins to accept him and mend old ties
Also what I meant was she could have ended up with anyone except Sasuke.I would have actually begun to respect her then.Not anymore now.I also still dont get the reason why she loves him and exactly WHY does her love get stronger?Does she like being battered?
I was talking about the text DarkAkatski posted. I didnt read yours because it wasnt directed at me
The writer may put in whatever shit he wants in the manga but I got every right to judge it by real life standards and based on that Sakura is a battered housewife.Thats just the way it is and its not just me by the way.There are a lot of polls done on various forums on which pairing was the worst to be canonised in 700 and SasuSaku always wins by a longshot.Its all because of a reason
The way you are saying anyone would think there are a limited number of haters for Sakura Lol
She is hated because of valid reasons.She is also the !main heroine.That means she will be held to high standards

that's your main problem Radon87000 => expectations
btw, if you already lost your time because of her and the manga, why are you still here complaining about everything?
you're not gonna ruin the manga for the ones whom loved it with its flaws and mistakes you see, it's just ridiculous to watch you hurt yourself with your own frustration and insidious logic again and again and again...
move on, it's done, you were and will always be just a reader and this peculiar manga is OVER.
what you are doing now is useless, plain and simple.

That would mean Sasuke is still back in the darkness and Naruto has achieved zero. That his promise to Kakashi means nothing and he refused the artificial arm out of sheer arrogance. Forum polls from disgruntles users doesn't affect my perspective. I tend to use my own brains and I don't have any reason to believe such an assumption to believe that battered wife crap.
@bold So do I and I respect your opinion.If you think a single apology is all it takes to leave all the negative crap he did with her thats your prerogative.There hasnt been any positive development between Sakura and Sasuke anywhere in the manga prior to 699.Its always been Sasuke making Sakura miserable.Some people love tragic love stories I guess but that doesnt mean you bash people who hate on it.Romance is supposed to be a positive thing.Its there in NaruHina and all other ships but isnt there in SasuSaku.Naruto did call Obito the coolest guy ever and the guy had killed his parents.Ino's father is dead partly because of Sasuke yet she was fangirling when he arrived.That I should be forced to accept whatever Kishi does because he is the writer is retarded.Lets agree to disagree
When was I trying to ruin the manga for you guys?And when did I say the entire manga was crap.If you take just the plot and story line into consideration it was a great manga till the Kaguya arc.Its value diminished after that and I have every right to state my opinion and that does not translate to ruining the manga for others nor does it mean frustration.You loved it.Great.
I also tend to find the "logic" of the pro supporters flawed.Its personal opinion.You cant force someone to change it or not express it
