I would have expected an mod not to be sarcastic and be the bigger person.
OT
Yep I liked her speech.
Did sarcasm kill? It often has a role as comedic relief. But meh, I digress.
I love sakura, and i don't particularly like hinata.
That being said, i do feel like sakura does need more development. She has a long way to go to match the level of main character sasuke and naruto are. I'm banking on her getting (hashirama's) slug sage mode.
If you look at the power-wise department of the manga than, yes, you could say she needs development.
But if you look at the mentally-grown characters, than dare-I-say she's one of the best developed.
Wow that was a long thread, probably missed something, but it seems to me, that you are just as one-sided as most youtube reviewers. Of course it's hard not to have an opinion. I wouldn't be able to it either, I guess, though I probably am one of the people thinking, Sakura's character potential was sort of wasted by Kishi, and now she is just gaining a little unimportant screen time, so Kishi can prolong his chapters and "satisfy" some fans on that part.
I am not one-sided, I was only speaking about a certain thing. Of course I could've made an essay about the meanings behind Kakashi's talk with Obito as well, but that seems to be on everyone's lips, doesn't it?
What do you define by character potential, if you don't mind me asking?
Just curious.
That said, it also seems more like a thread trying to defend Sakura, and that you are mad at the people, who dislike her and call her useless. To be frankly it's an opinion based statement, which you probably can't change with this thread. Yes medical ninjutsu is difficult, but not rare, and not many will see it as anything special, unless it's Tsunade's regeneration technique... This opinion you can't change. Besides, the "hate" for Sakura, is because Kishi made her so weak towards Sasuke.
I am not trying to defend Sakura, I am showing a part of her role, meaning and such in the manga. Different terms. Mad? Sorry if I disappoint by saying no. It's not like I don't hear this every time. I don't go with the herd, usually, so no, worng again.
It's not an opinion based statement, if it would have been, I wouldn't have had manga panels to do so. It's more of a factual opinion, given how everything in this manga connects. You just have to be observant enought to see.
It seems like you didn't get my point about medical ninjutsu. And it's an opinion based on childish misbehavior, if you ask me, as all-through-out manga can prove wrong to the ones who call her different ways. Useless? She's not. The fact that she doesn't have all this arsenal of flashy jutsus it's more of a matter of personal preferences. But that doesn't make her useless.
As for the hate for Sakura... I wonder how many of you know from where this whole madness started. I bet you don't, because you just went with the flow. But that's another thing.
Also I don't agree with the titling statement. Her speech wont do much. Surely it made the alliance make one last effort before they would die, but future chapters may reveal, that Kishi once again, will take screen time away from the alliance, and use it on some long dead hokage's, who will take the main part of the fight against the Juubi and Madara. The fact that she made the remaining part of the alliance believe in themselves, is of course great, but it's not like it'd made a difference, is it? The ones truly dominating the entire fight is Naruto and Bee. Naruto knew the hokage's + Sasuke were coming. That is why he spent all his chakra defending the alliance till they would arrive.
Her speech already did. Encouraged the whole Shinobi Alliance, or at least, the remaining ones, and made them fight. But it isn't about what much it will do, this was about the implications and meanings behind it, which, it seems you didn't get it.
How should we know Naruto knew since nothing like this was shown to us? Plus, it seems you don't know Naruto's character that much... But, I'd rather not get into it.
Also if you compare to other big "speeches" (lets exclude all of Naruto's speeches, as almost no speeches for obvious reasons can compare to them), I can agree, since to be frank, we don't have many big speeches in front of many people in the manga. So yeah it has great impact, but in the eyes of fans, it wont reach many of the golden speeches with much less people though.
In the eyes of the fans... well, you do hold some truth there. In the eyes of the fans probably means nothing, however, in the eyes of those who truly read and analyze this manga will probably mean. And a lot. Because, as I already said, this speech holds many great implications and allusions at the overall manga and it's meaning/message to be conveyed.
Thank you for this, I always seem to be the only one on Sakuras side lol. I dont understand how people hate on her when shes one of the better shinobi of the K11 and one of the greatest kunoichi weve ever seen. Just because she doesnt have giant swirling chakra bombs or shoot fire out of her eyes doesnt mean shes "useless". As Kakashi said she is very likely to surpass Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, and shes only 16.
Don't mention it, dear!

Well, as always, 2 things: a name + a bandwagon effect. That's all.
As for the other stuff, like always, there are things people missed when it comes to her character.
sorry to what I have to say but even if it is a speech sakura didnt developed her character is that because she always think about sasuke even when he try to kill her she had two chance to kill him but no hinata on the other hand when she got out from her shyness and was able to talk to naruto making him realize neji true words meaning that is a developed character until sakura stop punching other people for every action they take and try to understand other people and realize that no every thing in the world is sasuke than we will have some character development like Ino did Ino realize punching other people for every action they take and not try to understand other people and realize that no every thing in the world is sasuke is only childish and stupid that is a character development
Did she think about Sasuke during this speech? I doubt it.
After they left Sasuke, did she think about him? No, she was only thinking about Naruto.
The only time she was shown to be thinking about Sasuke was in chapter 540. And I am not here for pairing drama.
And why do you bring Hinata in here? Why the need to compare? I really don't get people like you...
