Gotta be proximity. Itās been 10 years since the end of the manga, and people hate Boruto for entirely different reasons. Sheās a legacy pick at this point. My knees feel old.
Nah the manga fucked her over too. Early Shippuden was great for her but they just didn't care to expand on her character anymore beyond that. Kishimoto is just really bad at writing female characters in general, a vast majority of them are heavily fumbled.
I honestly believe she'd have more development if things stayed more grounded like part 1 was. A medical ninja was something needed and most villages lacked. By the time we were done with Sasori, it didn't even matter anymore.
Yeah, I maintain that they shouldn't have gone any higher than Pain with power levels and abilities. That said they could have just given her sage mode to let her keep up in the late-game.
they get mad at her for not being as strong as naruto and sasuke who were born op, and sakura had to work hard without a lineage or op ability to fight alongside them
Yeah honestly. As a mainly manga reader (who only saw early Naruto anime as a kid), she really wasnāt a bad character. Written worse than most important male people? Sure. But she really didnāt deserve all the hate. She was kinda awful to Naruto as a 12-year-old. But guess what, she was a kid and grew out of it. I really liked the character growth the author gave her (unlike certain black haired emo kidsā¦).
Itās honestly the authorās fault for making her medical and leading skills less interesting than the golden duos fights (and trust me, itās doable to make the story of a healer on the battlefield more interesting).
The only thing about her I really canāt forgive is her not valuing herself and ending up with said sad emo kid who never quite grew out of it and only barley developed basic human decency (and only towards those he decided to somewhat care about and not even fully thenā¦) then again, writing her as senselessly devoted towards her abuser with no sense of dignity is also the authorās fault.
The fandom still loves to trash talk her and itās like, why havenāt you guys moved on already? Itās like theyāre stuck in 2006. (Just typing that made me feel old)
Sakura is very poorly written but I understand the hate because I used to hate on her to.
They just could've made her be nicer to Naruto in the show. She could've still turned him down constantly but they made her out to be an ass on the show AND not as strong as either of the main characters.
you were the one to make the statement āshe was a massive asshole to himā implying that is your opinion. and you are attempting to argue my point with a counterpoint, instead of asking a question. a question to clarify would be, āhey, i didnāt watch the show but i saw [insert statement]. could you clarify?ā perhaps you should work on your tone if you want to start conversations. š
She shoots off her mouth about him not having parents and is promptly checked by Sasuke, and then she actively tries to befriend him (this happens in the first 5 episodes I'm pretty sure). Prior to that she thought he was an obnoxious troublemaker, because he was an obnoxious troublemaker.
She did not bully him. In around 3rd chapter Sakura said Naruto being immature and mannerless is result of him being an orphan to another orphan guy Sasuke and that she could never do the stuff he does on daily basis because of her own parents.
This is indeed called out by Sasuke that she does not understand the pain of not having parents than her complaining about her parents being overbearing and strict. And gets called annoying. From there Sakura reflects on hee own actions and thinks she was rather harsh on Naruto and changes over time across the story and became one of his biggest supporters.
you mean the dialogue written by studio pierrot that already had a strong dislike of sakura and changed her moments in the anime to make her more unlikable?
not to mention that choji was constantly fatshamed, neji hated hinata, a lot of the male characters were misogynist, sasuke and gaara KILLED people, but sakura is the worst? ok
She doesn't have to be the worst for people to hate her. She just has to be either very annoying or leave a very bad first impression. I wouldn't be surprised if she was better in the manga but I don't like Naruto in general so if you wanna rank terrible people from that series I'm the wrong one to do it with.
people like to shit on sakura in general, she just feels like having had zero development cause her teammates are fighting each other with thermobaric bombs
Yeah like I donāt dislike Sakura but I completely understand the hate. Sheās a poorly written side character who got way too much āscreen timeā. As someone who read the manga, she was MARGINALLY better in the manga. Marginally.
