That's the problem. She suffers no repercussions for her actions or any wrongdoing, besides a flimsy apology. She never gets called out for her bullshit and never feels guilt for anything
The objective problem with Sakura is she is supposed to be a main character on par with Naruto and Sauske. But she practicaly does nothing compared to them.
Well, she does have healing and is considered the best after Tsunade. But yeah, when compared to Naruto, Sasuke and even no Sharingan Kakashi, they are WAY above her.

Sakura isn't weak, but not showing any relevant level of power until the final arc doesn't help discredit the idea. I can't quantify how strong she is because I'm giving a series wide range for her power between sasori and the war. Timeskip implied power-ups are also always screwy especially when the powerscaling goes the way of boruto and super.

The main reason I hate Sakura as a character is that she is an asshole to Naruto and hits him for almost every single little thing that she deems annoying or reckless.
Yes, Sakura could beat Hinata, but would still be no match for Madara. Also, how could she use the same jutsus that Tsunade has when she is not even a Senju? Her progress looks like fan service BS, including that time when she awakened 100 seals when she was just 16 yo.

Let’s not forget all the punches that poor Naruto got for no reason. Or events such as right after Tsunade returns to Konoha and heals Sasuke, the first thing Sakura does is throw herself at Sasuke. Not one word of thanks for Naruto. Another time Sakura falls off a boat and Naruto saves her. Sakura cracks her eye and sees Sasuke and starts thinking about Sasuke giving her CPR. Sasuke tells Naruto to give her CPR because Sasuke doesn’t know how. When Sakura sees Naruto move in for CPR, she punches him. Stuff like this makes me hate her. It doesn’t matter how much power any character has,when a character acts awful,that character gets hated.
Sakura maybe the strongest physically (literally because she's a Tsunade rip off minus the gambling, and better healing), but her L's and stupidity keep holding her back. Her character is literally just "punch Naruto for being stupid, get cocky before being saved repeatedly, copy Tsunade, and dick ride Sasuke even if he's a criminal piece of shit and when he tried to kill me twice, and put me in a genjutsu then act surprised that he's a asshole"
In shippuden sakura teamed up with granny chiyo to defeat sasori, came up with an antidote that saved kunkuro's life, did whatever she could to remain relevant in the ninja war and played a role in sealing kaguya. All of these moments were gone to the dogs after she ended up with sasuke.
I don't fully agree. I know her love for Sasuke is not healthy, and it is toxic,but so is Naruto's. Yet everyone seems okay with Naruto's love for Sasuke, but not Sakura's, lol.
I'll add one thing that always rubbed me the wrong way to all that swag said, her ending her friendship with Ino over a dude who didn't even acknowledge any of them. Ino was a girl who got her out of her shell, helped her like nobody else did with her low self esteem just for her to turn around and slap her in the face. That's pretty vile to me and she never apologized or acknowledged what she did, hell Ino even defended her in the forest of death too.
Over some Dude just Because He was Handsome af. she's a very superficial B!tch That just wants sasuke as a prize. If He wasn't what He was she would punch Him like she Did naruto.
Sakura for me was and will always be (unless boruto improves) a character with incredible potential but it is ignored because naruto and sasuke always get the center of attention in the history of kishimoto, for me kishimoto does not show any interest in developing her from way that it shows that she is strong, in the end she ends up just being a joke which is sad comparing her with other female characters in naruto. (my opinion and point of view, if you don't agree, feel free to disagree.) here is a small example where it doesn't change the story, but at least it would demonstrate her power and the evolution of the character, in the fight against pain instead of being her calling for naruto and not doing anything (which I thought was bizarre the first time I saw her, since she's a ninja and should be defending her house, but that's okay kishimoto doesn't care for the character anyway) I had put hinata in her place and she had gone to help naruto in the fight then she would use an incomplete version of the tsunade jutsu to fight showing that the training she did had a big improvement for her to be able to fight, instead of holding this jutsu until the arc war and don't show how powerful it is with it active mainly because it is considered much stronger than tsunade, then in war she shows that her power that maybe can even rival those two main in the story, in the end I blame kishimot because as much as his story and world of naruto is very good, he makes too many mistakes with his characters, especially the female characters.
I really feel that Sakura would have benefitted as a character if Kishimoto ever showed her falling out of love with Sasuke, considering all the times he looked down on her. I really don't know how he justified in his head to have Sakura keep loving Sasuke, even after Sasuke tried to axe her off multiple times with 0 regret/care. Just imagine a version of Naruto where Sakura realices how toxic Sasuke is, and how down right dangerous he has become after the timeskip, and then focus on having her improve herself/her other skills, instead of just having her be the cliche "person in love" trope whom, because of said cliche/trope, ignores all the massive, red flags thrown her way! Sakura could have been such a good opponent to Sasuke, using her own battle analytics skills against Sasuke's, using her earth and water elemental jutsus to counter his Chidori and fire based jutsus, along with her genjutsu skills to counter his Sharingan, and keeping herself and Naruto healed as Sasuke tracks their punches/kicks. Kishimoto gave her all these advantages, and then throws it all to the side so that he can have her go "Oooo Sasuke, have my babies" whenever she's around Sasuke instead! I wish there had been a Sakura focused arc between the 1st periode and shippuden where she 1) stops having feelings for Sasuke and becomes her own person whoms whole identity/existence doesn't revolve around him, and 2) realices she's going to have to rely/focus on herself as her teacher is busy only focusing on her team mates, and said team mates are always off getting stronger on their own. It would have been so satisfying to see Sakura roll up her sleeves, say "f you all" to her team mates and teacher, and grow strong on her own and become a respectable, independent ninja in her own way using her IQ, observation skills, quick thinking/reaction, battle analytics skills, genjutsu talent, water and earth based jutsus and chakra control. An arc such as that could also have served to show how characters in this world who doesn't come from any spesific clan, and also doesn't have anything unique about them that makes them stand out as an individual, have to struggle more and isn't as recogniced, but instead ignored/put to the side as they don't have anything flashy about them that promises them a great future.
Sasuke is the CHAD type of the show and Sakura is the typical modern woman. She could have any of these nice guys but she wants the attention and validation of the ONE guy who won't give it to her. I will give her a break on the Pain attack because it is plausible to me that Tsunade kept her around because Sakura is one of the, if not the, best medical ninja in the village aside from Tsunade herself. Also, Tsunade stated that she doesn't allow medical ninja to fight unless they have the 100 seal. As I recall Sakura didn't have it at the time and I didn't see it in the shot on the manga when Swag was talking about it. Don't get me wrong, I dislike Sakura. That was just the one thing I was giving her a pass on. Also, as far as powers, she isn't given any special ninjutsu or super spiritual powerups. Hell, I can't even think of a jutsu she used that wasn't a medical ninjutsu. Does we know her nature affinity? Does she know her nature affinity? I think she was meant to be support but Kishimoto didn't know how to write support outside of healing. Even giving her a move like the chakra cloak Naruto used on the army that was the inspiration for Naruto to use the cloak would have helped somewhat.
I think Sakura and sasuke are perfect for each other both are unable to control their desires. Sakuke is unable to control his thirst for vengeance and sakura her lust for sasuke.
even though i dont *hate* sakura the whole "I love you naruto" and basically making fun of the fact that he has no parents never sat right with me, like come on even if you dont actually like the guy or though he was really annoying there are just some lines that should not be crossed also i dont care what the result says Ino won that fight but plot convince kicked in
You can dislike her for being her or how she's written....either way she's hateable..some hate her crush like how she prefers the guy that tried to kill her over the boy who saves her from that other murderous boy she simply wants cause she thinks is hot in a world of depth how shallow can you be and it makes people who have been rejected but still simps for girls feel bad for naruto as she does this to him and her personality backstory and narrative purpose all suck....she's just not appealing to people...sorry to say...in part 1 she is a 1.5/10 character ..even to people who like her in shippuden you have to admit she got kinda boring after a while and predictable...she grew but thats not enough ...
Hinata didn’t become shi she’s the worst female character I’m so sick of y’all giving her credits for nothing. And Hinata can’t beat Sakura, ever. Sakura is faster than her and even if she managed to block some of her Chakra Points, Sakura has the Byakugou. Sakura is massively stronger than Hinata in every aspect that is a fact
@@shreksyq Sakura can't do shit if her chakra points are blocked, the hundred healing needs chakra to work like all jutsu. And what makes you think Hinata is terrible character when Sakura simped for a guy who tried to kill her and her friends?
Sakura fans protect her too much...it's ok to say she was written poorly for future writers not to settle or make the same mistakes.....that's on kishi...and the editors and anime staff..you can do better...she has positives but we ignore them because that just promotes her bad traits as ok ..you can make a flawed 3d unique female but don't make her unappealing unlikeable and this useless to the narrative...nami is how you do main shounen female...copy that
I don't hate Sakura like I use to but I'm still not a fan of her. She really isn't useless as she does have a lot of physical power and healing on par with Tsunade but when it comes to the crazy hax abilities or just overall power that is above hers, she just pales in comparison. Her personality is definitely her worst trait (part 1 definitely had the worst of it but part 2 still had bad moments like drugging her teammates).
Her fans make me hate her...never had a character done less and been given more praise and more hatred given from one fanbass to others for not agreeing with them...she gets defended despite bad writing and it not only sets the bar low for main females but it encourages writers to match that level of not caring and that makes a story worse...trust me...sakura caused a lot of people to drop the series
@@razkable oh I had that feeling. It may be shallow but it really gets annoying seeing her yelling and smacking around Naruto in the anime and movies (she may not do that in the manga as much but it's still super annoying). I could maybe see why people defend her if they say she isn't useless but to say she's the best despite her horrible writing is unbelievable.
So I feel like addressing 3 things so bare with me please. 1. I don't really like Sakura. I think she's annoying and narratively useless. Make Shizune go to Suna and a Clone hit Kaguya, remove Sakura entirely, and nothing of any value changes. And that's really disappointing writing from a series I think does generally have great writing. 2.on power scaling, yes Sakura haters are awful, but I feel like the rise of Sakura Lovers are just as bad. As someone that actually read the Sakura Hiden Novel, her fight with Kido is NOT a good set of feats, it actually has worse feats then the war as Kido is kind of trash. As if the blind hate didn't muddle the scaling waters enough, the love is just as bad. 3. So I addressed Kido being trash, and he is, Drug Kido doesn't even scale to 6 Gate Guy, but the Kaguya arm thing isn't really a great show of speed either. The arm isn't going straight after her, it's all windy and hitting the ground, Naruto and Sasuke just have a conversation apparently unworried about rushing, and the only real indication of speed is Naruto saying they are fast, and he's called things slower then himself 'fast' before, look at the 3rd Raikahe for instance. Not to say it's not a feat, but to equat that to being 6 Paths levels of speed is just dishonest.
1.I can't agree with the speed thing. The Raikage wasn't slower than him at the time. At least by any significant amount. Even in KCM. And I'm pretty sure any other time he says that he's slower. Ig I could be wrong tho. I'm not saying that Kido is So6p tier but I don't consider Obito or 8 gate guy in that tier either so..... 2. I think the Sakura love is going too far but I don't think it's all absurd considering the Narrative Kishimoto was trying very hard to push. I don't agree with "she blitzed Kaguya" but I agree with "she bops Madara". Ironic considering my pfp but.... Maybe I should change it to SakuraXD
@@diondadigger the third Raikage was slower, Naruto hit him and dodged him several times. If not for Edo healing his Rasenshuriken would have killed the guy without Naruto even trying hard. Plus Naruto also compliments people like Gaara who he was faster then. Not to mention that, again, Naruto didn't run to help Sakura or try to help against the arms, he just said they were fast and asked Sasuke to go help her because she was to slow to get away. Not exactly a great concern clearly AND Sakura is there the entire fight and never moves fast any other time, even her big punch was using the Byakugan blind spot. Anyways, Sakura could delete Madara with a touch but her speed has no scaling to his level before Shin(which is it's own mess). The Kaguya fight has a bunch of stuff holding it back from being a straight speed feat, Kido makes her slower and weaker, and in the war itself she just beats some Juubi things that even lower tier characters were beating, and getting stomped by Juubidara. Meanwhile Madara reacts to boosted Ay. He's just to fast and has to much long range Jutsu. Note please that I think EMS madara loses to KCM2+Sage Mode Naruto and Obito stomps any form of Madara before the Juubi. I am not some madara fan boy, he's just got more and better speed feats.
@@nahte123456 Understandable. I agree with all except the no speed feats and blindspot thing. I've always found that interpretation extremely dishonest. There's no way she could fit in the blind spot and even if she could, Kaguya has what is prolly the best sensory in the series. Also there's literally a "!" on panel to indicate she's noticing something and it wasn't Naruto, Sasuke, or Kakashi. And if it wasn't of concern why didn't Naruto just fly over and stop it instead of trying to have Sasuke use a quicker way(AKA Amenotejikara) and waste chakra. It's obvious he wouldn't have gotten there on time. I feel like that was really clear. And tbh Kido isn't an anti-feat. He doesn't have a confirmed or implied strength level except giving poisoned Sakura trouble. He and Shin Uchiha are both useless in scaling tbh.
@@diondadigger She could fit into for a while though, we see Kaguya just not pay attention to her(I will point out after Kakashi hits her with Kamui Chidiri she literally just looks away from him to attack Naruto, she wasn't even taking him seriously much less Sakura) and she only got the "!" When Sakura shouted and she already started to move. For Kido, he's confirmed to be the same level as Sai, Fuu, and Torune, but at the lower end. To say he's start of Shippuden Sai is probably kind. The drug also works on the victims Chakra, as we even see the fodder that use it just run out and stop on there own. And despite people like Sai and Ino being after him his Chakra is never said to be high. So Sai+at best a Version 2 boost+high Jonin Chakra as the source. Reminder that Yagura is Kage+full Sanbi Version 2+Bijuu source. And even Yagura couldn't outsized 6 Gate Guy or Kakashi when reanimated. Also reminder Kido used a Bijuudama that Sakura reacted to as it formed and couldn't dodge. So Kido scales her to below that by the book.
Sakura in the pain arc was busy healing people and wasting chakra and she did not have hundred healings so from the beginning of part 2 Sakura was at half power I don't hate or like Sakura I just had to bring this up
@@marellagreen6611 -Sakura was healing people way before naruto returned- Doesn't matter. When naruto returned sakura was healing nobody she was just screaming for naruto and could've just went in there and did something herself. Why is it that hinata the person that is not in naruto's team is attempting to rescsue naruto? Heck when pain had naruto stuck in the ground with rods it would've made sense for sakura to show up she is the one with super strenght she can free naruto faster then most.
Well I feel Sakura is a good character, plus most of the big issues with her you could say the other main and major characters share some of the same issues or they are worse
Here is my take why sakura can't beat ms madara: I'd say she is stronger than tsunade. I think we can agree that tdunade can't beat ms madara. Therefore although stronger than tsunade, sakura won't beat ms madara.
That really doesn't prove anything, you are saying that because Sakura is stronger Tsunade and Madara is also stronger than Tsunade. That Madara is stronger Sakura because that they're both stronger than Tsunade. You see that doesn't make sense in a debate or power scaling wise.
But that's normal. Some people who watched anime don't give a damn about what their watching just watch and enjoy. Others also don't care to understand what the anime trying to tell us as a viewers.
@@sarveshnathan7559 ok so if ur in a fight then ur caught off guard no she was on guard for feared of being sealed plus she had her Byakugan on and she had sensory abilities
People keep saying that but what yall don't understand that it does not matter and is not true. Because Hinata is not in the main team she is not on screen 24/7 almost every arc. And she is not more useless because whenever hinata gets screentime and she is on SCREEN. She is fighting people like neji or even pain with no hesitation. You would think that the person that would help naruto in a battle for his life for the village would be a team member like sakura but no it was hinata. Saying hinata is more useless almost has no value because hinata is not in the main team she is not always on screen so comparing them is really pointless. And it doesn't help that when hinata is on screen she is fighting neji who is arguebly the strongest genin or pain. You can't say hinata is more useless if every time she fights she is fighting somebody that sakura would never fight 1 on 1. She didn't win those fights but at least she tried and made a move she didn't scream for sasuke or for naruto she just went in there and did that shit.

I don't fully agree. I know her love for Sasuke is not healthy, and it is toxic,but so is Naruto's. Yet everyone seems okay with Naruto's love for Sasuke, but not Sakura's, lol.

Because unlike Sakura, Naruto actually becomes strong enough to slap some sense into Sasuke
I'll add one thing that always rubbed me the wrong way to all that swag said, her ending her friendship with Ino over a dude who didn't even acknowledge any of them. Ino was a girl who got her out of her shell, helped her like nobody else did with her low self esteem just for her to turn around and slap her in the face. That's pretty vile to me and she never apologized or acknowledged what she did, hell Ino even defended her in the forest of death too.
Over some Dude just Because He was Handsome af. she's a very superficial B!tch That just wants sasuke as a prize. If He wasn't what He was she would punch Him like she Did naruto.
Sakura for me was and will always be (unless boruto improves) a character with incredible potential but it is ignored because naruto and sasuke always get the center of attention in the history of kishimoto, for me kishimoto does not show any interest in developing her from way that it shows that she is strong, in the end she ends up just being a joke which is sad comparing her with other female characters in naruto.
(my opinion and point of view, if you don't agree, feel free to disagree.) here is a small example where it doesn't change the story, but at least it would demonstrate her power and the evolution of the character, in the fight against pain instead of being her calling for naruto and not doing anything (which I thought was bizarre the first time I saw her, since she's a ninja and should be defending her house, but that's okay kishimoto doesn't care for the character anyway) I had put hinata in her place and she had gone to help naruto in the fight then she would use an incomplete version of the tsunade jutsu to fight showing that the training she did had a big improvement for her to be able to fight, instead of holding this jutsu until the arc war and don't show how powerful it is with it active mainly because it is considered much stronger than tsunade, then in war she shows that her power that maybe can even rival those two main in the story, in the end I blame kishimot because as much as his story and world of naruto is very good, he makes too many mistakes with his characters, especially the female characters.
J The Great.
I like your analysis on swagkage video.
I really feel that Sakura would have benefitted as a character if Kishimoto ever showed her falling out of love with Sasuke, considering all the times he looked down on her. I really don't know how he justified in his head to have Sakura keep loving Sasuke, even after Sasuke tried to axe her off multiple times with 0 regret/care. Just imagine a version of Naruto where Sakura realices how toxic Sasuke is, and how down right dangerous he has become after the timeskip, and then focus on having her improve herself/her other skills, instead of just having her be the cliche "person in love" trope whom, because of said cliche/trope, ignores all the massive, red flags thrown her way! Sakura could have been such a good opponent to Sasuke, using her own battle analytics skills against Sasuke's, using her earth and water elemental jutsus to counter his Chidori and fire based jutsus, along with her genjutsu skills to counter his Sharingan, and keeping herself and Naruto healed as Sasuke tracks their punches/kicks. Kishimoto gave her all these advantages, and then throws it all to the side so that he can have her go "Oooo Sasuke, have my babies" whenever she's around Sasuke instead!
I wish there had been a Sakura focused arc between the 1st periode and shippuden where she 1) stops having feelings for Sasuke and becomes her own person whoms whole identity/existence doesn't revolve around him, and 2) realices she's going to have to rely/focus on herself as her teacher is busy only focusing on her team mates, and said team mates are always off getting stronger on their own. It would have been so satisfying to see Sakura roll up her sleeves, say "f you all" to her team mates and teacher, and grow strong on her own and become a respectable, independent ninja in her own way using her IQ, observation skills, quick thinking/reaction, battle analytics skills, genjutsu talent, water and earth based jutsus and chakra control. An arc such as that could also have served to show how characters in this world who doesn't come from any spesific clan, and also doesn't have anything unique about them that makes them stand out as an individual, have to struggle more and isn't as recogniced, but instead ignored/put to the side as they don't have anything flashy about them that promises them a great future.
Rock lee who don't have any skills on jutsu is more useful than sakura
Sasuke is the CHAD type of the show and Sakura is the typical modern woman. She could have any of these nice guys but she wants the attention and validation of the ONE guy who won't give it to her.
I will give her a break on the Pain attack because it is plausible to me that Tsunade kept her around because Sakura is one of the, if not the, best medical ninja in the village aside from Tsunade herself. Also, Tsunade stated that she doesn't allow medical ninja to fight unless they have the 100 seal. As I recall Sakura didn't have it at the time and I didn't see it in the shot on the manga when Swag was talking about it.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike Sakura. That was just the one thing I was giving her a pass on. Also, as far as powers, she isn't given any special ninjutsu or super spiritual powerups. Hell, I can't even think of a jutsu she used that wasn't a medical ninjutsu. Does we know her nature affinity? Does she know her nature affinity? I think she was meant to be support but Kishimoto didn't know how to write support outside of healing. Even giving her a move like the chakra cloak Naruto used on the army that was the inspiration for Naruto to use the cloak would have helped somewhat.
I think Sakura and sasuke are perfect for each other both are unable to control their desires. Sakuke is unable to control his thirst for vengeance and sakura her lust for sasuke.
Problem is Sasuke got around it in the end and Sakura is still Sakura lol
@@rahulmathew6396 because he’s job
even though i dont *hate* sakura the whole "I love you naruto" and basically making fun of the fact that he has no parents never sat right with me, like come on even if you dont actually like the guy or though he was really annoying there are just some lines that should not be crossed
also i dont care what the result says Ino won that fight but plot convince kicked in
You can dislike her for being her or how she's written....either way she's hateable..some hate her crush like how she prefers the guy that tried to kill her over the boy who saves her from that other murderous boy she simply wants cause she thinks is hot in a world of depth how shallow can you be and it makes people who have been rejected but still simps for girls feel bad for naruto as she does this to him and her personality backstory and narrative purpose all suck....she's just not appealing to people...sorry to say...in part 1 she is a 1.5/10 character ..even to people who like her in shippuden you have to admit she got kinda boring after a while and predictable...she grew but thats not enough ...
Guess we should blame Kishimoto at the beginning for writing a character like Sakura.
What if nappa and raditz returned.please watch on Seth channel.
After the war, but before the Last, Hinata became a master of the gentle fist style and can disable Sakura's ability to use chakra.
sure but could she ever even land it tho? doubtful Sasuke stays in 1 place & just lets her lol
@@Crunchysopa52 Sasuke? Don't you mean Sakura?
@@SuperboyLilly oh my bad I really did put Sasuke's name there huh lol
Hinata didn’t become shi she’s the worst female character I’m so sick of y’all giving her credits for nothing. And Hinata can’t beat Sakura, ever. Sakura is faster than her and even if she managed to block some of her Chakra Points, Sakura has the Byakugou. Sakura is massively stronger than Hinata in every aspect that is a fact
@@shreksyq Sakura can't do shit if her chakra points are blocked, the hundred healing needs chakra to work like all jutsu.
And what makes you think Hinata is terrible character when Sakura simped for a guy who tried to kill her and her friends?
Glad you watched. Sakura may not be weak, but her character sucks. I'm glad Naruto didn't end up with her.
Sakura fans protect her too much...it's ok to say she was written poorly for future writers not to settle or make the same mistakes.....that's on kishi...and the editors and anime staff..you can do better...she has positives but we ignore them because that just promotes her bad traits as ok ..you can make a flawed 3d unique female but don't make her unappealing unlikeable and this useless to the narrative...nami is how you do main shounen female...copy that
It's disingenious for you to say that Kishimoto would ever let Sakura win Madara. He does not like Sakura, at all, nor want her to be useful.
I don't hate Sakura like I use to but I'm still not a fan of her. She really isn't useless as she does have a lot of physical power and healing on par with Tsunade but when it comes to the crazy hax abilities or just overall power that is above hers, she just pales in comparison. Her personality is definitely her worst trait (part 1 definitely had the worst of it but part 2 still had bad moments like drugging her teammates).
Her fans make me hate her...never had a character done less and been given more praise and more hatred given from one fanbass to others for not agreeing with them...she gets defended despite bad writing and it not only sets the bar low for main females but it encourages writers to match that level of not caring and that makes a story worse...trust me...sakura caused a lot of people to drop the series
@@razkable oh I had that feeling. It may be shallow but it really gets annoying seeing her yelling and smacking around Naruto in the anime and movies (she may not do that in the manga as much but it's still super annoying). I could maybe see why people defend her if they say she isn't useless but to say she's the best despite her horrible writing is unbelievable.
@@razkableSays the one with the Trashnata pfp😭 Like your precious Hinata stans didn’t send several death threats to Jun Esaka and her baby
So I feel like addressing 3 things so bare with me please.
1. I don't really like Sakura. I think she's annoying and narratively useless. Make Shizune go to Suna and a Clone hit Kaguya, remove Sakura entirely, and nothing of any value changes. And that's really disappointing writing from a series I think does generally have great writing.
2.on power scaling, yes Sakura haters are awful, but I feel like the rise of Sakura Lovers are just as bad. As someone that actually read the Sakura Hiden Novel, her fight with Kido is NOT a good set of feats, it actually has worse feats then the war as Kido is kind of trash. As if the blind hate didn't muddle the scaling waters enough, the love is just as bad.
3. So I addressed Kido being trash, and he is, Drug Kido doesn't even scale to 6 Gate Guy, but the Kaguya arm thing isn't really a great show of speed either. The arm isn't going straight after her, it's all windy and hitting the ground, Naruto and Sasuke just have a conversation apparently unworried about rushing, and the only real indication of speed is Naruto saying they are fast, and he's called things slower then himself 'fast' before, look at the 3rd Raikahe for instance. Not to say it's not a feat, but to equat that to being 6 Paths levels of speed is just dishonest.
1.I can't agree with the speed thing. The Raikage wasn't slower than him at the time. At least by any significant amount. Even in KCM. And I'm pretty sure any other time he says that he's slower. Ig I could be wrong tho. I'm not saying that Kido is So6p tier but I don't consider Obito or 8 gate guy in that tier either so.....
2. I think the Sakura love is going too far but I don't think it's all absurd considering the Narrative Kishimoto was trying very hard to push. I don't agree with "she blitzed Kaguya" but I agree with "she bops Madara". Ironic considering my pfp but....
Maybe I should change it to SakuraXD
Exactly
@@diondadigger the third Raikage was slower, Naruto hit him and dodged him several times. If not for Edo healing his Rasenshuriken would have killed the guy without Naruto even trying hard. Plus Naruto also compliments people like Gaara who he was faster then. Not to mention that, again, Naruto didn't run to help Sakura or try to help against the arms, he just said they were fast and asked Sasuke to go help her because she was to slow to get away. Not exactly a great concern clearly AND Sakura is there the entire fight and never moves fast any other time, even her big punch was using the Byakugan blind spot.
Anyways, Sakura could delete Madara with a touch but her speed has no scaling to his level before Shin(which is it's own mess). The Kaguya fight has a bunch of stuff holding it back from being a straight speed feat, Kido makes her slower and weaker, and in the war itself she just beats some Juubi things that even lower tier characters were beating, and getting stomped by Juubidara. Meanwhile Madara reacts to boosted Ay.
He's just to fast and has to much long range Jutsu. Note please that I think EMS madara loses to KCM2+Sage Mode Naruto and Obito stomps any form of Madara before the Juubi. I am not some madara fan boy, he's just got more and better speed feats.
@@nahte123456 Understandable. I agree with all except the no speed feats and blindspot thing. I've always found that interpretation extremely dishonest. There's no way she could fit in the blind spot and even if she could, Kaguya has what is prolly the best sensory in the series. Also there's literally a "!" on panel to indicate she's noticing something and it wasn't Naruto, Sasuke, or Kakashi. And if it wasn't of concern why didn't Naruto just fly over and stop it instead of trying to have Sasuke use a quicker way(AKA Amenotejikara) and waste chakra. It's obvious he wouldn't have gotten there on time. I feel like that was really clear. And tbh Kido isn't an anti-feat. He doesn't have a confirmed or implied strength level except giving poisoned Sakura trouble. He and Shin Uchiha are both useless in scaling tbh.
@@diondadigger She could fit into for a while though, we see Kaguya just not pay attention to her(I will point out after Kakashi hits her with Kamui Chidiri she literally just looks away from him to attack Naruto, she wasn't even taking him seriously much less Sakura) and she only got the "!" When Sakura shouted and she already started to move.
For Kido, he's confirmed to be the same level as Sai, Fuu, and Torune, but at the lower end. To say he's start of Shippuden Sai is probably kind. The drug also works on the victims Chakra, as we even see the fodder that use it just run out and stop on there own. And despite people like Sai and Ino being after him his Chakra is never said to be high.
So Sai+at best a Version 2 boost+high Jonin Chakra as the source. Reminder that Yagura is Kage+full Sanbi Version 2+Bijuu source. And even Yagura couldn't outsized 6 Gate Guy or Kakashi when reanimated. Also reminder Kido used a Bijuudama that Sakura reacted to as it formed and couldn't dodge.
So Kido scales her to below that by the book.
So..what if it doesn't have female characters....it doesn't even matter ..like the show is GOATED
I can debunk everything you said in 0.2sec
Sakura in the pain arc was busy healing people and wasting chakra and she did not have hundred healings so from the beginning of part 2 Sakura was at half power I don't hate or like Sakura I just had to bring this up
People downplay for no reason
She only started healing people later when she was calling for naruto to do something she wasn't healing anyone.

Doesn't matter. When naruto returned sakura was healing nobody she was just screaming for naruto and could've just went in there and did something herself.
Why is it that hinata the person that is not in naruto's team is attempting to rescsue naruto?
Heck when pain had naruto stuck in the ground with rods it would've made sense for sakura to show up she is the one with super strenght she can free naruto faster then most.
@@DBZFANX1000 do you think she has the chakra to fight pain at that point in the story
Well I feel Sakura is a good character, plus most of the big issues with her you could say the other main and major characters share some of the same issues or they are worse
Here is my take why sakura can't beat ms madara: I'd say she is stronger than tsunade. I think we can agree that tdunade can't beat ms madara. Therefore although stronger than tsunade, sakura won't beat ms madara.
That really doesn't prove anything, you are saying that because Sakura is stronger Tsunade and Madara is also stronger than Tsunade. That Madara is stronger Sakura because that they're both stronger than Tsunade.
You see that doesn't make sense in a debate or power scaling wise.
I guess we can all agree some of us haven't read manga much and make a research on databook about their power scaling.
But that's normal. Some people who watched anime don't give a damn about what their watching just watch and enjoy. Others also don't care to understand what the anime trying to tell us as a viewers.

To be honest Hinata is way more useless than Sakura
At least Hinata's more likeable and would be a better main female character.
People keep saying that but what yall don't understand that it does not matter and is not true. Because Hinata is not in the main team she is not on screen 24/7 almost every arc. And she is not more useless because whenever hinata gets screentime and she is on SCREEN. She is fighting people like neji or even pain with no hesitation. You would think that the person that would help naruto in a battle for his life for the village would be a team member like sakura but no it was hinata.
Saying hinata is more useless almost has no value because hinata is not in the main team she is not always on screen so comparing them is really pointless. And it doesn't help that when hinata is on screen she is fighting neji who is arguebly the strongest genin or pain. You can't say hinata is more useless if every time she fights she is fighting somebody that sakura would never fight 1 on 1. She didn't win those fights but at least she tried and made a move she didn't scream for sasuke or for naruto she just went in there and did that shit.
Here we go again. Sakura suckers bring out hinata for no reason and bullying her while ignoring the position of their characters respectively.
