Now, here is the main question:
Can Sakura be actually considered a main character?

Quote:

Although Sakura is the most recurring female character in Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto did not originally intend for Sakura to be the heroine of the series, even stating on occasion that he still has a hard time viewing her as a heroine.

I think it depends on the person. When did Kishimoto say that? Just curious.

I got it from Naruto wiki, but I think he said in in an interview called the Art of Naruto in 2007.

Alright. Thank you for telling me.^^

I think Sakura has something really big coming up. I'm sorry, but with all that "Team 7 is Back" nonsense, there is NO WAY that he would give that big of a boost to only Sasuke and Naruto. Kishimoto has made some mistakes, but I really do have full confidence that something big is going to happen and it's gonna be super mushy gushy involving Team 7 being back together.


If that doesn't happen, shoot me. It's just a manga series that I've been keeping track of for years now.

He did give her a boost. The problem is he also made Naruto and Sasuke total dicks and not tell her that punching Madara is impossible.

Sadly Sasuke is the more bigger b*****d than Naruto. Even if Sakura gets another boost of power, it will probably be no actually point now in the story due to the fact that Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara are so OP she would probably still not be of much use as she was supposed to as a main character.

I'll agree Sasuke is a bigger b*****d but its not like Naruto lifted a finger to help her either.

In the last few chapters she has been pretty useless. Kekekekee.

I agree, wholeheartedly. Since Part II, Sakura has been one of my favorite characters and it does kind of piss me off how Kishi toys with her character. He gives her a power-up and sometimes let her do something incredibly badass, then immediately negates that by making her utterly fail. She had so much potential and he just let it go to waste, honestly. Then again, this actually goes for almost ALL of his characters, except Sasuke and Naruto. :/

Her fight with Sasori was really her prime time then it just went downwards imo. I just wish Kishi would give her a moment to shine instead of making her end up looking like fool every time she is fighting. It's like he is trying to feed the Sakura haters.

It might be true that Kishi doesn't care for many of his characters but unlike the others Sakura is a main character. How hard is it to make her not look like an idiot? It just gets harder and harder to defend Sakura. And thanks to Naruto her medic skills aren't even really needed anymore.

I pity her, because she's basically the only female I can look forward
since all the other females are nothing. people critize hinata for jumping in front
of pain, and sakura did pretty much the same thing,
thou naruto and sasuke didn't said anything
lmao, gotta love teamwork.
lmao contradicting the tittle of this thread

And Hinata went against Pain knowing she'd most likely die because she valued Naruto's life over her own, she knew that all the odds were against her.
Sakura just looked like she wanted to impress Sasuke lmao.

wow I can't even, no just no. Hinata wanted to impress maybe, Sakura? What she did for far better, she was the distraction she was not showing off for sasuke. The hell?

And no, she is still a very important medic. Being able to create an eye is not the same as saving someone's life.

Haters are reaching a new low.

If you praise Hinata for rushing in without a plan, and not being able to live though it, but not Sakura who was playing at being a decoy, got stabbed, and it didn't even effect her. This is the 2nd time Sakura got stabbed and was able to heal herself during the injury.

Hinata rushed in, got stabbed, instant KO.

Sakura this, but improves it but not being a meat shield. She is "unkillable"with her rebirth jutsu.

*faceplam*

Sakura didn't analyse the situation at all. She rushed in like an idiot and ended up in a damsel in distress position as usual. I'm not saying she isn't a strong ninja, I'm saying that the way she just rushed towards Madara was really thoughtless. Her attack was completely pointless in the end.
Hinata rushed in with the intention to give her life for Naruto, she knew she was going to die. There is a difference. Sakura's intention was to be helpful, which she wasn't.

I'm not a Sakura hater, I'm just not gonna defend how poorly Kishi writes women in combat.

How is Hinata any different?
She didn't save Naruto.
Both were thoughtless. However, Sakura had Strength of a Hundred Justu which heals any damage the user sustains instantly without the need to make hand seals or even a conscious effort to activate the healing process as long as he/she has chakra left. Another issue is that both Sasuke and Naruto could see Madara's shadows yet no one warned her.

Sakura is only useless when it comes to fighting along side Naruto because he always has to save her because she doesn't realize what she's up against. Yes she is strong but I don't see her as a skilled fighter.

[iKarnezar]

She sucks.

She had the highest grades in the Academy even though Sasuke actually had them, and yet it didn't do anything for her. She mastered the Chakra control exercise Kakashi had them do and yet it was Sasuke going toe-to-toe with Haku.

She cut off her hair to fight Dosu and Zaku and yet it was Lee who jumped in to save her, followed by Shikamaru's team and then Neji's, and finally Sasuke saved her.

She didn't do s**t when the Rain ninja attacked even though she's an expert on genjutsus.

Her fight with Ino was as relevant as her parents.

Visiting Lee in the hospital didn't do s**t since it wasn't even that that inspired her to take up Medical Ninjutsu.

Despite being the only one to break Kabuto's genjutsu, it's all moot since Kakashi could've waken up Naruto easily. She did nothing in the fight with Gaara except get stuck to a tree and reinforce the idea that Sasuke is weaker than Naruto.

Her begging for Sasuke to stay in the village did absolutely nothing but alert Tsunade that Sasuke was gone, but even then, the 2 Chuunin who fought the Sound 4 could've done that...

Finally learning Medical Ninjutsu, she proceeded to do nothing with it except save Kankuro's life, the only character more useless than her.

All she did in the fight with Sasori was break puppets and throw s**t. She did have her convenient antidote, but she never showed off those skills again, did she.

She does nothing afterward except cry about Naruto and Sasuke for a long a** while...and make soldier pills that literally taste like s**t.

She can't even kill or fight Sasuke, her resolve weakens and she does nothing but serve as dead weight for Kakashi to worry over and Naruto to waste time saving. Her confession also didn't do a damn thing.

Her discovering that Zetsu was posing as Neji was clever, but honestly, anyone who knows who the ******** the Hokage's pet is could've done that...

She tried to save Naruto's life, but it's considered moot since the Sage and Obito do it anyway...




So yes, she sucks. A genjutsu specialist with monstrous taijutsu and Kage-level medical ninjutsu, and yet Kishimoto finds a way to make her suck.

Kudos, you misogynistic ********]

since when hinata wants to impress...?
hinata sure was an idiot by jumping
but that was nothing to impress.
even by her annoyance and her stupidity
she tried to save the person she loves, or whatever you want to describe it.

yes, hinata and sakura did the same in a different situation.
yet I can't help sakura when the first thing she says
''sasuke didn't seem to care''

it seems to me she wanted to show off.

so instead of fighting, lets all just applause at
kishi by making all females a damsel in distress.

I agree, but my opinion is
hinata failed in saving naruto (well she kinda did but at the same time no)
it didn't help the situation, plus it didn't help nobody

but even so, I'm gonna give her credit, even if
it was an stupid idea, she at least tried to save the one she loves
even if it means ending her life (too dramatic but oh well this is naruto)
so just for that I'm giving her 1 point.

I blame sasuke and naruto too for not telling sakura about
the shadow's of madara, yet it seems it's a habit of sakura to jump quick
(and I don't get it because she is truly a genius like shikamaru)
in front of the enemy, even in the last chapter, if it wasn't for kakashi,
sakura would have jumped. Again.

so my conclusion:
kishi likes to make women run/jump withou' thinking.
both were stupid at jumping yet sakura is half blame
since naruto and sasuke didn't say anything.

According to the first Naruto fanbook, Ino had the best overall grades in the Academy. She had the highest grade in assertiveness and the second-highest grade in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, cooperation, and class attitude, being beat by Sasuke in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. Second place was Sasuke. Therefore, I suppose Sakura was not exactly a genius.
Granted, Sakura did rush in impulsively, one may argue that she was trying to help her team. For that, does she not deserve one point as well? Sakura's intelligence stems from her consistent high test scores and observational skills.

I never read the fanbook's of naruto
but wow I didn't know that. I thou all this time sakura was second after shikamaru
I was wrong. but damn ino form all the people, not like I am against her
but she rarely appears, then why ino didn't won the chounin exams then.

sorry I didn't say about sakura gaining 1 point since I said she only is taking half blame.
so 1 point and a half? (this is my point of view is not exactly 1 point)

I never either. I actually got it from Narutowiki.
The thing about Ino is that she needs backup support. Chumin exams are 1 vs. 1.
Sakura did note that Ino would have beaten her if Naruto did not intervene. Despite many people thinking that this technique is unbeatable, she can still be forced out of the body if her opponent has a strong enough will.

No, it's ok. I honestly don't really care about the points.

Team Guy never joined in the fight (except Lee). They were observing from the sidelines.
Also, Lee jumped in to save Sakura before she even cut her hair.

Sakura is not an expert on genjustu. She only knows how to break them.
What was she supposed to do? Throw a kunai at them? lol

She did activate Naruto's Kyubi mode.

oh wow I see, yes it makes sense
she is indeed a supportive character, nothing bad at all
and actually I am glad she show her potential, even doing the
same job as her father and even better.

it's quite funny because if im not wrong, ino also rushed into battle
withou' thinking (hidan/kakuzu vs her team)

but if it is now, even if ino may not have the skills or qualities that sakura has.
I wonder how this latest chapters will have turned out?
it seems ino have matured more.

oh well I rather not think to much and just leave it there.
characters are not perfect but still wish to see male characters rush more into battles
instead of females, if you get what I mean.
