Why Sakura can't set things on fire by glaring at them.

[Byakusharinnegan]

Before you start flaming, no, this is not one of Femme's threads where she desperately tries to convert you to Sakura-ism. I'm just saying. You can hate Sakura because she's 'mean to Naruto' (which she really isn't anymore), but you can't hate her because she's not strong.

Because Sakura was never supposed to be the OP sort of character that you see blowing up bridges, Kishi himself said he didn't design her that way. She was supposed to represent the other side of humans, the side that Naruto and Sasuke didn't; the hesitation.

Her struggles throughout the series to gain more acknowledgement I felt were good, even great. Because at the beginning, both Naruto and Sasuke essentially had acknowledgement: Sasuke was the Uchiha genius, and Naruto was the Kyuubi vessel.

Who was she? The bright haired little girl from some civilian family. The only reason she was put on the team was to balance it out, she didn't have any special purpose. She at first thought that it would be all about her, but realized that it wasn't going to happen that way. As even Naruto surpassed her, she became desperate and made some rash decisions.

The reason she became a medic was a sort of realization; she would never be as strong as Naruto and Sasuke, so she was going to help in a different way. Because she really wants to just help.

And to top it off, Kishi himself said that her character was never going to be the strongest.

I really can't take the people who say she has no development seriously. She started out as vain, selfish schoolgirl in part 1 and became more and more compassionate and aware of Naruto's feelings. A lot of people judge her just by her actions in part 1 while they like to pretend she hasn't developed at all. Thing is, she loves Naruto as a brother. It wasn't like that in part 1.

I'm just trying to get people to realize you can't necessarily hate Sakura because she's weak, or has no development. She has more development than you realize, and she was never supposed to be the extremely strong character. That was for her teammates. I'm not saying she's a flawless character, but all the Sakura bashing is getting stupid now.

I don't dislike her because she's weak. I dislike her because her personality is overall, extremely annoying. She's overconfident in herself and continuously goes around spouting her nonsense stating that she's equal to the likes of Naruto and Sasuke, and yet, she always manages to get herself in a situation where she needs to depend on other people to save her life. It's both pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

I'm also having a hard time understanding your title..​

I don't see how this explains how she can't set things on fire by looking at it.

It was sarcasm, to say that she's not OP.

 

[-Sky-]

She's pretty immature. I dislike some of the things she's done, like playing Naruto and going to Sasuke by herself, even though she wasn't prepared for it.

She lets her personal feelings sway her way too much and it's rather annoying.

Did you know... sakura was to remain 10 years old forever??? but it was changed because they find it would have been hell for the viewers to have her as the last surviving and youngest character in the series

 

[kunde]

She's not a fodder char - Agreed

She's useful- Agreed

She's annoying as hell - Agreed.

Da hate u.u

 

[Cursed Prince]

I used to dislike her for being fodder in part 1, then I disliked her for still loving Sasuke, cuz it was obvious he was meant for Karin. Now I dont really have a problem with her. She's gotten pretty strong and her attitude has changed. She is annoying though. Trying to kill Sasuke? gtfo

 

[Azearl]

hmm..havent really tought about this but that doesnt mean i like her nor i hate her i am a neutral or doku,but anyways it was good seeing this theard .XD

 

[paratise]

I think her development is too inconsistent and lacking for a main character and that's it.

I never cared for power levels of a character; and people who know my faves would also know they are not power houses at all. Weakness is a shallow and dumb reason for disliking a character.

 

[Byakusharinnegan]

Yes, there are logical reasons to dislike every character. I'm perfectly fine with you guys not liking Sakura for good reasons, some people just tick me off with their mindless Sakura hate.

 

[awesomeseimei]

Sakura not being OP is fine. But her still loving Sasuke is just wrong. It seems too much of a stretch by now.

maybe sakura is ash ketchum in disguise,as I guess both are 10 forever and both are useless .lol.XD

Her development is inconsistent.

That's because she's the girl the two man protagonists want to protect more than anything...

Lmfao. Her being a girl does not change anything. She, like her master, is very confident in her own ability. The only difference is that while Tsunade puts her own life at an extreme risk to save her allies [Summoning Katsuyu and ordering her to take care of the other Kage before herself], Sakura allows her overconfidence to put herself in

Naruto I understand, but Sasuke is debateable.

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

She doesn't have a affinity for it man . Kishimoto created her as a stereotypical girl that screwed her character in part 1 but in part 2 she is better . i agree with you except sakura loving naruto like a brother . she loves him as a friend .

If you recall Tsunade was just as weak when she was afraid of blood. Sakura, like her master, was useless until she decided she needed to finally get even. BTW how did Sakura not put herself at risk summoning Katsuya and healing the entire alliance. Also wouldn't you say that Tsunade is just as overconfident while fighting Madara, where the tsuchikage had to remind her of her resolve? It's simple logic really, Kishi is trying to say to us that she is Tsunade's true successor.
