What changes in the manga would have made Sakura a likable character?

[Kishi Uzumaki]

Kishimoto making her the hottest female in Narutoverse will do even the people that hate her will like her

 

[Ovan]

I never understand why people get at Sakura for liking Sasuke? Hinata been playing pass out stalker since part 1.

She improved greatly in part 2. Some people just don't appreciate it due to the massive salt that built up during part 2. I think a lot of Sakura haters are just on a massive bandwagon because it seems cool to fit in.

 

[V h o]

Manga never called her a heroine or at least that I've seen.

OT:

For me:
Change of personality (don't care for Sakura's personality at all)
Better development, character wise and combat wise
Better feats in general
Actually having an arc around her, could display feats and abilities
Changing her goal, not being a burden or whatever is horrible for any character less enough a MC
Her attitude towards sasuke should be different, her actions towards sasuke downplay her intelligence
Things that downplay sakura should be removed, like getting back slap by kurama tail, hit by kabuto's butt, failing to stab an eye, etc.

A lot of other things as well

 

[rinnegan human puppet]

make her on par with naruto and sasuke. right now she's still below tsunade she's the only member in team 7 who hasn't surpassed her teacher since she hasn't shown anything tsunade hasn't shown.


make her punch sasuke in the face, she has to honestly, so she won't look like she has garbage self esteem.

make her a better female rode model.

Why should a character be likable to be a well-written character? I find this likability nonsense so stupid. It has nothing to do with merits of characterization. Get it through your heads.

Yeah, I don't get this either. Sakura is bad for liking Sasuke, but being a petty little ****ing stalker is such an awesome thing to do.

Get over Sasuke, like Ino did. Her love for Sasuke was first superficial then Kishi forced her love into having a meaning. It's like he tried to give her a bond to Sasuke like Naruto but obviously it's not as strong as Naruto and Sasuke's. to be honest SS has ruined Sasuke's character so far in the Gaiden series

She wasn't over him till 699, that's for sure. I mean, she married the guy who looked like the next best thing. Kishimoto even made the characters comment that he did look a bit like Sasuke.

So being a stalker is worser then being totally neglected by your partner for 12 years?

 

[Kirokill]

So being a stalker is worse then being totally neglected by your partner for 12 years?

You don't say that both of them were bad characters. Oh, not you. No..

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

You don't say that both of them were bad characters. Oh, not you. No..

I judge them as I see them. Sakura had more chances of being a better character then Hinata. Yet she failed due to the author's poor writing.

 

[SatanicGod]

If she actually became worthy of everything she asks for and gets, that would be nice. Also if her character had some serious serious tragedy like Naruto and Sasuke she wouldn't pale in character depth alongside those two,

She is just an entitled idiot for the most part if you ask me, that's what bothers me most about her character and makes her unrelatable to most of the people imo.

In her defense, Kishi was trying to go for a normal girl when he made Sakura

 

[NukaCola]

Just calling Sasuke on his bullshit would be more refreshing.

 

[Kirokill]

I judge them as I see them. Sakura had more chances of being a better character then Hinata. Yet she failed due to the author's poor writing.

And Hinata? Bad or good?

 

[SatanicGod]

You don't say that both of them were bad characters. Oh, not you. No..

When has Naruto attempted to kill Hinata?

When did Naruto defect from the village to get assistance from Konoha's number one enemy at the time?


When did Naruto ever call Hinata annoying?


When did Naruto ever do anything that should've made Hinata stop caring about him?


What reason does Sakura have for loving Sasuke?
What reason does Hinata have for loving Naruto?
Compare those two answers and see how Sakura is much worse than Hinata.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

And Hinata? Bad or good?

She is good for Naruto standards. Bad outside of Naruto.

 

[Kirokill]

She is good for Naruto standards. Bad outside of Naruto.

Just wanted to see your point of view. Good to see, indeed.

When has Naruto attempted to kill Hinata?
He did not.
When did Naruto defect from the village to get assistance from Konoha's number one enemy at the time?
Error 403: Caterpillar pass - Gramm Too low
When did Naruto ever call Hinata annoying?
He did not.

When did Naruto ever do anything that should've made Hinata stop caring about him?
Accepting Obito's offer, which she managed to snap him out of it.

What reason does Sakura have for loving Sasuke? Childhood crush that failed to banish upon growing up.
What reason does Hinata have for loving Naruto? Encouragement.
Compare those two answers and see how Sakura is much worse than Hinata.

Cool down the fire in your heart. For you are human, anger does not solve. But misunderstood, yes? And so you know.
Nothing to you.

I never understand why people get at Sakura for liking Sasuke? Hinata been playing pass out stalker since part 1.

She improved greatly in part 2. Some people just don't appreciate it due to the massive salt that built up during part 2. I think a lot of Sakura haters are just on a massive bandwagon because it seems cool to fit in.

Because Sakura originally liked him or shallow reasons and was nothing more than his little fan girl. Her mistreatment of Naruto didn't help.

Hinata's a stalker undoubtedly, but her reasons for liking Naruto are genuine and she saw what no one else saw.

Its a pretty basic explanation.

 

[Darth Uchiha]

Never being created.

Because Hinata loved Naruto because he showed her kindness and encouraged her to believe in herself, he protected her constantly and she relayed him by protecting him. Sasuke on the other hand more or less always treated Sakura like garbage, and, you know, tried to kill her. In other words, Hinata loved Naruto for who he was, Sakura loved Sasuke because of a childhood crush that she refused to let go of.

 

[MinaButt]

Not being so thirsty for Sasuke would help.

villain sakura, join akatsuki perhaps.
