Why is it really that Sakura is such a disliked character?

[Pirate King Luffy]

She's always chasing someone who clearly obviously doesn't like her.
Also because of this she would get her teammates in danger because of her obsession with sasuke.

 

[Anakin Skywalker]

If the tool keeps you alive, we give it.
Samehada didn't.

so what now we start giving credit to every kunai,shuriken and katana instead for the person who used it.... its like saying every shinobi is powerful bcos of the kunai they use :|

what do u mean samehada didn't .....kisame used samehada in almost all his fights

EDIT:

since u didn't read my previous edited post here see it now

chapter 265 the very first attack by sasori was dodged by sakura because chiyo saved her ...without chiyo, sakura wouldn't have lasted for 2 seconds ....but without sakura, chiyo would have lasted until the iron sand by 3rd kazekage puppet

i hope this clears up ur misconception and hope u stop giving credit to sakura for sasori's defeat

...the credit of killing sasori always goes to chiyo ....chiyo makes the killing blow but sasori chose not to dodge it...
so its like partial suicide + chiyo's tech ,.... sakura was used as a puppet by chiyo

sakura was only a tool used by chiyo to defeat sasori.
later she saver chiyo's life and all it great and i accept that

 

[devilsinhell]

she acts according to what the character was sketched by writer..

Samehada let him for Bee.

And wasn't it a say in Naruto that a ninja was as powerful as the tool they use?

i cant help but wonder you actually created an NB account for this :|

And the reason he would've supposedly won is because even Chiyo said he made an attack through which he should've been able to see. Chiyo herself didn't want to kill him, as well, Sasori came back to his human side by not, supposedly, killing them.

The end is simple, let them or not, he is dead, Chiyo and Sakura got alive.
Deal with it.

sorry but there was more to that fight

ya so what kakashi used zabuza's sword ....thats what tools are supposed to be ....anyone can use the tool they get their hands on

wat really ? you should bring a manga scan to prove it

but i can prove you this with manga scan "A master with a pebble can still beat a novice with a shuriken." by zetsu i can bring the page if u want

any way we are going wayyyyy off topic

the bottom line is
95% people who dislike sakura bcos of her personality,character and attitude .....
only some trolls say she is useless

and u are over hyping sakura by saying she beat sasori or 50-50 sumthing like that ....this is not true

 

[Raikiri10]

She's good for nothing and adds nothing essential to the storyline the only feats she has now are ones that Kishi hands out to her in charity because he knows everyone hates her so he tries to keep what little fan base or lack there of happy with a little victory for her here and there which is understandable what pisses me off though is with everyone dying at the moment why can't he throw her death into the mix the opportunity is most fitting.

 

[Umari Senju]

I know, I have that on Tumblr.



If the tool keeps you alive, we give it.
Samehada didn't.

While it's true Chyo bad Sakura attached to her chakra strings, if you recall Chyo was amazed at how well Sakura was doing on her own. Chyo stated that she only had to make a few minor adjustments from time to time but the bulk of the fight was all Sakura. Plus Sakura created the antidote for Sasoris poison, and beat the 3rd Kazekage puppet pretty much on her own. She may appear weak at the moment but that's not her fault, that's Kishi's fault for not developing her character better. And sbr is suppose to be his favorite too. What a shame...

so you are saying without the antidote they would die right

then its because sakura they have won she is the one who made the anti dote lol who made you think its chiyos its sakura antidote

we dont give credit to a tool

sakura wasnt controlled the whole fight and you know it
with out her super strength chiyo couldnt beat Hiruko herself not to mention sakura had to do the punch by herself chiyo isnt the one who make her punch so sakura is not a tool
she survived the smock bom by explode the smock again without chyio help
she took down some of the Hundred Puppets
she through that sealing thing on sasori
she saved chyio by pulling sasori to her
she distroied sasori puppet
sakura dodged the iron sand by herself again without chiyo help and without sakura chyio couldn’t do it
sakura distoried the Third Kazekage
she survived Satetsu Kaihō with only a scrash again without chyio help
sakura made the antidote
sakura risked her life for chiyo by taking the attack instead

so she did fight without and with chyio help both did very good jop chiyo did the final blow (sasori let her) but that doesn’t mean sakura didn’t fight

 

[Blaze Release]

I believe majority of those who hate Sakura are influenced by the random hate for her and adhere to this 'norm'; hating Sakura. Other's hate her because of her feeling for sasuke, another hated character. Personally the idea of hating any drawing in Kishi's handbook isn't to my taste, but each to their own.

But reading this thread especially the latest posts makes me wonder, if the point of the manga is seeking in or not. The manga isn't just about flashy ninjutsu's and powerful ninja's, its more than that. I always wonder why people complain about character needing help in a fight, or the fight wasn't a 1 vs 1 situation, but i ask you this. How many ninja's have fought a strictly 1 vs 1 fight and by that i mean summoning excluded, the answer is very hard to come to answer you'd have to dig deep to come up with a reasonable answer.

Manga from the very start of the series has told us that team work is very important, something that it seems people still cannot wrap around their heads when they complain about a character receiving help. [

Its this very reason which lead Itachi to fail and later acknowledged the power of teamwork. Also lectured Naruto on this [

Manga isn't hard to understand once you open your mind and let it sink in

In the fight agains't Sasori neither Chiyo or Sakura wouldv'e stood a chance in a 1 vs 1 situation. However they took advantage of their strength's and came up with a way of getting past Sasori. Both contributed just as much, i can assure you in getting past sasori

 

[Fecal Matter]

Why is this turning into a Sakura + Chiyo vs Sasori thread???

Is everyone trying to prove that she's weak/strong? i don't see Sakura as a fighting type or a mountain busting character,she's a medic and medical nin is pretty damn important in fights like the one Naruto's in now.

 

[Draphsin]

so you are saying without the antidote they would die right

then its because sakura they have won she is the one who made the anti dote lol who made you think its chiyos its sakura antidote

okay she made the antidote...so what iron sand still wouldve killed her (first/seccond image) and still without chiyo she would be a pin cushon

Where there's smoke there's fire, there are plenty of valid logical reasons why her character is vilified by the fanbase. For starters first impressions last, and she didn't make a good one, I'm sure even her most avid fans would agree that she was beyond the tolerance level of being annoying by her constant gawking and wooing of Sasuke-kun in Pre-Shippuden era, not to mention her constant moaning and crying when something bad happens (If she's not part of the solution, she's part of the problem) along with her almost non-existent skills in battle, I think it's justified to hate her, and no, hating her is not a witch hunt to demonize her in order to beatify Hinata, it's just simple rational observation that her Pre-Shippuden persona was not only lacking, it was incredibly vexing.

Sakura in Shippuden era had some improvements, she was trained by Tsunade as a medical-nin and she gained physical strength, but aside from the Kazekage Rescue Arc I couldn't recall anything positively significant she did ever since. Her only autonomous decision (killing Sasuke) ended in failure because she hesitated in dealing the finishing blow, she made a bold-face lie to Naruto "confessing" her love for him, yes she intentions were good that she wanted Naruto free from the burden of the promise he gave to her, but did it work? no, Naruto even became more suspicious, he was even able to see through her facade immediately, so in that respect she failed too. Sakura is just a very unappealing and flawed character.

Funny discussion. Sasori weak? Chiyo defeated him and not team Chiyo/Sakura? Sasori killing himself?

What did people smoke today?

Sasori was not weak. Actually he is one of the stronger Akatsuki compared to Hidan, Konan, Deidara... Plus Chiyo, who people overhype abit when it comes to bashing Sakura, acknowledged Sakura's value/power several times. Without Sakura, she would have died, Sasori would still be alive and the story would have gone differently.

13-17 year old boys dislike tomboy gals that's all. And now they take away any small credit. Silly.

Only sad thing is that Kishi didn't keep that path up. When she was fighting Sasori, she was badass. She was shining in this part but then Kishi forgot about her.

lol sasori>sakura & sasori >chiyo, it just so happens both of them together make a bad matchup for him (ie. of other bad matchups, kisameVgai or KakashiVobito or even deidaraVsasuke)

EDIT: hey heres an idea...why dont we give sasori his parter so its 2v2 (akatsuki work in pairs no? so this wouldnt be uncommon) then we'll see if sakura/chiyo can last 5mins

I agree on that sasori is stronger than both of the but sakura and chiyo together was great team i was just saying its not only because chyio sakura did 50 of the jop

Here's another idea, why don't we give Sakura and Chiyo the number Sasori and Deidara would do from their jutsu?
Although it was 2 vs. 1, it was actually 101 vs. 12.
Or how Kishi says, 2 vs 1, 100 vs. 10.
