Overhated, Overrated, Underrated, Underhated
Whatever Sakura is, he have to have done something wrong to get such a massive mixed reception out of people.
>>
>>283370868
She doesn't do anything but Kishimoto writes her as if she was important which makes her simultaneously overrated (by the story, telling us she's a lot more competent than it actually shows us) and overhated (by the fanbase, expecting more out of her because of that).
>>
>>283369136
Only incels hate her. She's a literally me character for women
>>
My favorite shonen MC.
>>
I never understood the strong hatred for her.

Being 100% honest, it always felt to me like bandwagoning and resentment by proxy because most of the viewers probably self-insert as Naruto, the loser who overcomes his fears wins in the end with "hard work" (before everyone found out he's actually as genetically gifted as one could ever be)
>>
>>283372668
>really smart and talented but doesn't have to do anything because she has some big strong men to do stuff for her but she's still highly respected and seen as competent
She really is, huh.
>>
>>283369136
I don't hate her but I definitely found her disappointing after things started looking up for her in the Kazekage Rescue Arc
>>
>>283369136
I will always love Sakura
>>
>>283372969
Also Sasuke calls her a strong women in the Sarada spin-off. That's better than sex for women
>>
>>283372902
She's a manipulative bitch and brings nothing to the overarching theme of generational trauma. She's useless for all of base Naruto and in Shipudden she is only around as a TF2 chakra dispenser to heal everyone back to health.
>>
>>283372668
lol you're underaged, girls absolutely hated her
>>
>>283373082
Sakura was #3 at the global popularity poll
>>
>>283369136
>>283370868
We have proof that the Anime showrunners, and Kishi editor hated Sakura, they wanted to go full gooner over Hinata.

And that Kishi Editor would actually show hate videos about Sakura to Kishi. Just to convince him that to ignore Sakura.

To the point that Sakura is missing at least 2 major fights she was supposed to have, post timeskip. And all this hate prevented Sakura/Naruto which is definitely the original intended plan. See the zero Hinata setup in the entire Manga.
>>
>>283373499
>And all this hate prevented Sakura/Naruto which is definitely the original intended plan.
I believed you up until this.
>>
>>283373499
Kishi editor was a huge Uchiha fan because they fans love them. He fucking loved Sasusaku because it was the most popular het pairing by far
>>
>>283369136
I just find funny she's called the Genjutsu specialist during Part 1 but later they simply become an Uchiha weapon.
>>
>>283373075
>She's a manipulative bitch
How is she manipulative?

Telling Naruto she loved him was a badly thought out, desperate measure. She wasn't out to hurt him.

So, "manipulating" someone because you don't want them to get hurt is le bad? WOW
>>
>>283376604
She could have used any other reasoning; instead, she lied about loving him, playing with the crush he used to have for her.
>>
>>283372981
This basically. Sakura's always shown flashes of potential, where you're like, okay, "NOW she'll get good," only for that potential to quickly fall by the wayside. The first time was in the Forest of Death against the sound ninja, after which she remained largely useless for the rest of pre-Shippuden. By the end, we're supposed to buy her being comparable to the rest of team 7, which is laughable. And don't even get me started on her battered woman syndrome with Sasuke.
>>
>>283369136
Uh...She's not hated enough.
>>
>>283376837
See >>283373578
Allegedely Kishi wanted to develop Sakura but his editor wanted her to remain as a Sasuke fangirl for sales and it worked

I don’t think there’s a more overhated one piece character than this guy. Unique and badass, well written, an actual REAL pirate, who gets called useless cuz he loses a lot. To one piece fans a character who takes a lot of Ls=poorly written pointless character.
>>
>>283376940
Anon...you realize this is a poll for who should get their own manga spin-off, right? You don't actually believe Kakashi's dead father is more popular than Sasuke, do you?
>>
>>283373075
>and in Shipudden she: saved Kankuro from Sasori's poison, helped Chiyo beat an Akatsuki member, healed Naruto after using 4-tails, kept Naruto's heart beating after Kurama was extracted from him, gave Obito chakra to get Sasuke back from one of Kaguya's dimensions, helped Naruto & Sasuke seal Kaguya, healed Naruto & Sasuke wounds after VoTE
>>
Sakura is fascinating to me as this rorschach painting because the people who like her have these moments they praise but totally misunderstand how dreadful they are implied to be.
Sasuke just before leaving the village after her confession thanking her- because she said something so ignorant and absurd that it sharpened his resolve since his team members could not understand him at all.
Or Sakura and Obito opening a portal that Sasuke barely gets through by switching places with a flak jacket. The moment afterward is framed romantically but Sasuke is definitely thinking that he would have sacrificed her to die in Kaguya's desert dimension as the stakes were so high. Meanwhile Sakura has no sense that she would have been treated just like Karin if this piece of equipment hadn't randomly dropped where it was a target for his ability.
>>
>>283376887
Wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know how much more focus on her would've helped in the long run since Kishimoto seems to struggle to write female characters and romance in general. Tsunade's the only one I've seen most people agree on as well-written.

Naruto was an annoying dipshit in part 1. She had every right to shit on him.

Rock Lee wasn't an annoying overly perverted midget.
>>
>>283377314
Sure but she was also saying that... to another orphan.
>>
>>283377314
For some reason Kishimoto thought it would be good for her to lack social tact in which she might have blamed his deficiencies on being a borderline feral child without explicitly mentioning being an orphan, what he went with instead is nothing short of early character assassination.

I do think drowning down Naruto when he's the only one who's still with her when Sasuke dumped her ass is still a dick move
>>
>>283376968
I think Kidd gets shafted a lot because Oda clearly wanted him to be important but Law proved to be a much more popular character than he anticipated
>>
>>283373969
she is manipulative because she is inherently dishonest, she literally has a double personality for whatever reason, which was never explored.
Ino has the label of being the barbie bitch but she is shown to be honest and straightforward.
>>
>>283376940
This wasn't a total popularity poll you retard. It was a vote to determine who got a spin-off. You really think Shisui fucking Uchiha is the fourth most popular character in Naruto, over the protagonist AND his unrequited gay love interest?
>>
>>283377538
I think Kidd's role is fine. He's always meant to be Luffy's rival so he can't have the same flexibility as Law did.
>>
>>283376940
in Japan i've seen Sakura figures literally sold at 300yen in the sale bin because nobody was buying her.

Anon. From the very beginning. He had the nine tails sealed within him. We all knew Naruto might've gotten some insane buffs with just Kurama living inside him

None of these people know the pain of being a Megumi Fushiguro fan

I think the anime showrunners put their bets on Inocoin because they made sure she got nicer treatment than Sakura.
>>
>>283375435
He's pretty funny and unsettling, adds that "humans can be worse than demons" theme that gets played out with Sensui

>>283369136
I never hated Sakura, she's pretty empathetic and fuckable in part 1, but Kishi does have bad writing, so I can't deny disliking how she ruined her friendship with Ino as kids, and nearly Naruto after that "I love you" stunt.
>>
>>283372777
>>283377661
At the very least both Deku and Megumi are very popular despite their immense hate from the fandom

Sakura isn't

>>283377661
What Gege did to him was vile. A useless male deuteroganist with a Sasuke type of character is just unheard of until Megumi exists
>>
>>283377661
Every time he is about to summon Mahoraga is to remind us that if he did absolutely nothing in the timeline would change. Truly the character of all time.

It's still bad in the sequel despite literally not appearing yet. He is still the punching bag for some reason

>>283377661
It's worse being a Megumi fan because he quite literally never achieved his potential and didn't even fight in the final arc at all. He just flat out disappeared until it was finally time to save him for reals

You're right, I don't. I could tell he was a fucking loser from the get-go.

The higher ups are chickenshit nobodies who Gojo can intimidate or execute at any point, he flexes one butt cheek and the story gets back on track.
>>
>>283377661
He was the universe's favorite punching bag and so did the fans. Whether he tries to do something or trying not to do something. He still gets punished

I don't get the point of him being alive. Didn't he like lost his shikigami?

Ino is supposed to be a stacy yet you see Naruto and Lee simping for Sakura because they assume Ino is too bitchy.

Saying Toji is cool is a stretch.
Bro kills literal teenagers for money, sold his own son, and still has beef with teenagers

>>283378127
He had an "oh shit, Sylphie" scene after tutoring for years.
Then failed to critically think about how the teleportation disaster had on his family which made Paul furious.
My reading comprehension is fine and I'm only a youth if you're a boomer.
>>
>>283378217
He didn't forget Sylphie while tutoring Eris. He thought about her frequently. Even with the anime cutting down on his internal monologue from the novels, it still shows that he made a figure of her while working in Roa. The "oh shit" moment was a realization that his promise with Eris to share their first time conflicted with his plans to attend the Ranoa University of Magic. It had nothing to do with forgetting Sylphiette existed.

And he sure as hell didn't forget Zenith. Rudeus was caught in the epicenter of the mana disaster. He had no idea how far reaching it was, nor could he have had any means of guessing that it was cataclysmic enough to reach his hometown that was 7 days away from his current location by carriage. He forgot to write home because he was preoccupied with actually getting there, but he absolutely never forgot about his family.

So yeah, you're wrong on both fronts.

I do get the point of his writing but I think the story should've toned down a lot on his potential. Everyone keeps saying he's this super great sorcerer but he's been more of a liability than an asset. not helping the ones who did say it were literal top tiers like Gojo and Sukuna so you gotta wonder where Megumi's development is going only for him to be used as a buff to Sukuna to kill Gojo

And the mahoraga spamming didn't help either when he has so many tools he could've used from his own technique
