Who would you say is more hated among the two most hated universally hated characters in shonen in history?The embodiment of useless female characters or the saddest most pathetic excuse of a "deuteragonist"
>>288027689Sakura is at least cute, right is just an extremely poor man's attempt at Gray Fullbuster.
Megumi is a filler Shonen Jump trope that not even the author gave a fuck about. The fact this loser and Gojo are the most popular characters in Japan says everything about their shallow tastes
>>288027689Megumi's existence is just so fucking weird. I've never seen a deuteragonist. Especially that of a Sasuke clone gets treated this extremely badly. Everything about him is just sad and pathetic that I'm honestly surprised when I saw the popularity poll and he was third place of all things.
>>288027689At least Sakura stayed for most of Naruto and Kishi bothered to remember her despite outright admitting he never like her.Megumi on the other hand just doesn't exist. You can really tell Gege regretted creating him, let alone making him a major character..
>>288027689Megumi is way more hated than Sakura. He genuinely does nothing on top of being weak despite the story glazing him to have the potential to be a special grade sorcerer. His entire character legacy is him being a joke. Not even Sakura at her lowest got it that bad because you can chalk it up to Kishi being shit at writing women but Megumi had no excuse because he's a boy
>>288027689MegumiHis run as a character is just so legendarily bad that he makes Sakura look like a well written and useful character. It was that bad.
>>288027689Sakura has always been dislikeable since the early parts of Naruto so it's not a surprise but Megumi is a sad case where he quickly erupted as one of the most hated due to how pointless he ended up being in both as a character and as a fighter after showing so much promise. Of course, anyone with a brain is aware that this Gege refusing to even let him be a character. Like there is no feasible reason why he was so useless in the Sukuna fight when everyone is tearing off their limbs to even save him. It just doesn't make sense. Like there is no reason why he was not allowed to take part into the Zenin arc despite being the literal heir of the throne.
>>288028221I'm pretty sure Gege never wanted to write Megumi to begin with. How Megumi was handled is so abnormal because he really should be an important character but every time the opportunity rises up. He just gives up and let others do the dirty work for him.
>>288027689Megumi represents JJK's legacy, soulless crud that reads like it was written by AI. Good riddance.
>>288027759Gojo actively does something in the series though. He deserved his popularity. It's Megumi where you should question the standards of japanese people because he really does nothing other than being sad. All of his popularity is just nothing but headcanons because he doesn't do shit in canon
>>288027689Sakura never got an image as humiliating and rep destroying as Potential Man and that's not even counting all the actual humiliating stuff that happened with Megumi.
>>288027689The fact that Megumi is somehow still one of the most popular characters in his series tells everything that you only need to look pretty to be popular Because holy shit, I've never seen such a terrible character. I can guarantee you if Megumi wasn't pretty, everybody would hate him.
>>288027759>>288028725Is Megumi even popular anymore? All the slander and hate he has garnered up for literal years must've negatively impacted his popularity.
>>288028766Only in Japan. Nobody should be surprised they're way more tolerant of him than everywhere else where he is outright hated,
>>288027689I don't think Megumi is hated.I think the people who are harshest on him are the ones who liked him and are disappointed that he didn't live up to his potential.
>>288027689No one seriously hates Megumi.
>>288027689Megumi was so bad that I honestly think Yuno wasn't all that shit. He's still the worst BC character but he's miles better than the nothingburger that is Megumi.
>>288027689Megumi is more akin to people making jokes about him. But there is real malice in some of them but not allSakura hate is pure genuine though. If you're a naruto fan who's into shipping, you can feel the genuine vile hatred people had for Sakura.
>>288028884I see Sakura hate as more on someone who is such a bitch that she'll gladly treat an ostracized kid even more of an outcast despite Naruto has never really treated her badly unlike with how Sasuke treated Sakura and yet Sakura has the hots for Sasuke instead. That's really messed up for a lot of people and why her hate feels more genuine.
>>288028921Sakura is a realistic bitch to the core. She pushed a lot of people's buttons who has to face someone like her in their lives.
>>288027689>another Sakura thread
>>288027689Megumi was screwed over by a malicious mangaka, but as a character he ranked good to decent until his whole character got SUKUNA’D without chance or development.Sakura was just worthless and literally stayed the same (weak, never actually improving, no more creative fight, helpless , still obsessed about sasuke but not enough to actually stand her ground and truly fight him) until the very end .She was truly one of the shittiest heroine ever existed
>>288027689Megumi is literally a product of Gege hating him so much that he got denied of even being a character.
>>288027689Sakura was a child so she has somewhat of an excuse for early behavior. Megumi is a joke. It's no contest Megumi clears.
>>288027689Megumi, no contest>Has the worst personalities of Sasuke>But has the uselessness of Sakura>And has the screentime and irrelevancy as Tenten To have all three aspects of the most hated characters of Naruto into one character is a feat in itself. I didn't think it was possible to create a character this shitty but Gege did it. Out of pure spite even
>>288027689Megumi is literally more useless than Sakura. There's no way he's ever recovering from that reputation.
>>288027689I heard Megumi was based off Gege’s older brother and he’s jealous of him, is that true?
>>288027689At least good things happen to Sakura every onw and thenMegumi is still on the constant conga line of humiliation for many years and it's still ongoing
Megumi is "hated" because people had high expectations of him, potential you might say, sadly, nothing about his character paid off. His "hate" is borne out of frustration because of how badly his character was handled, about how he could have, and should have, been so much more. The jokes and memes are how people cope about it, but even then those very jokes are all about how he could have been so much better. It's like laughing mad, laughing out of anger or sadness.Sakura's hatred however is very true hate. People genuinely dislike her as a character, as a person, her role in the story, her actions, and lack of thereof. There's no potential to lament being loss here because even her base core initial character is nothing to write home about, because even at the end of the day her powerset and skillset just became Tsunade 2.0. Nothing unique, original or with any thought behind it. She has no chemistry with anyone, if anything she only brought down people because of how awful her personality was.Megumi was someone who was let down by the writing. Sakura had no writing at all. Very big differences.
I don't think even Kishimoto hated Sakura as much as Gege hates Megumi. Gege chose to dump Megumi in the garbage and all of his character along the way he got replaced by literally every other character who fulfilled Megumi's role Nobara, Yuta, Choso, Todo, and even Maki all fulfilled what Megumi should've done. He's just so underutilized that he literally became the same as Tsumiki. A one and done plot device only to never be mentioned again
>>288027689Megumi hate or slander in this case is based off on how Gege did him so dirty that he literally doesn't even exist in the series anymore, That all of his potential development and plot points are dropped off like that. And as far as hate goes, it's just agendafags and powerscalers who have a massive hateboner for him. He's loved by female fans Sakura is true hatred however. You have to be a kid growing up reading or watching Naruto to understand why people just don't like Sakura. She's just insufferable and the worst part is that she's also a main character with shit tons of screentime.
>>288027689Sakura is more genuinely hated. Megumi is just a weird case study. JJK is not even 300 chapters long so for him to be ignored by Gege despite being set up as the series deuteragonist is just insane. People complain about this in regards to Nobara but Nobara had no plot relevance so she was okay to push to the sidelines but Megumi is narratively important and it's Gege malicious side to toss him at the worst possible moment I repeat. Original JJK is 271 chapters. It's actually quite small for a big shonen series so any form of sidelining will immediately look bad.
>>288027689For all the gripes about Sakura, at least she has a personality. I can't even tell if Megumi even had any interest traits. And no, "potential" is not a personality trait. That just means he has the potential to be interesting but he is just so fucking boring that I never cared about his suffering.
>>288030529I don't count agendafags as real opinions. A story shouldn't rely on feats and aura as if it was a sports match. JJK is not built like that. And speaking of agendashit, One Piece is really bad with this as well with its agenda fanbase
>>288027689Megumi is just over exaggerated because of how rampant is slander and agenda but he's still one of the most popular characters as long as you don't engage with agenda. Sakura is way more hated for reals though. Nothing can truly replicate her hate.
>>288027689Sakura has always been pretty shit since the start, The basis of her character being a boy obsessed lovestruck bitch is not a good sign. Megumi, while I don't think he's the worst character in JJK nor he's all that bad. He really shouldn't be a deuteragonist. If you look at his journey as a whole, he feels so disconnected with every other character. An anon mentioned this before but his friendship with yuji feels so hollow and empty because Megumi was never actually there to help Yuji. Can you guess who did help Yuji? That's rightNobara who helped Yuji with the Death Paintings, Sukuna, and MahitoTodo who helped Yuji when he's at his lowest., Also helped him fight against Hanami, Mahito, and SukunaChoso who helped Yuji when he's at his lowest but also helped him against SukunaYuta who helped Yuji against Sukuna You'd think the one who should be the closest to Yuji aka Megumi would also help him, right? No, Megumi's contribution seems to exist on a separate space away from everyone else. His last fight in the series, Reggie, was really some random nobody who also died in the same fight so he didn't later help the others against Reggie like Higu, Kashimo, and Takaba did. I do feel bad for the boy though. He really was robbed out of every relevance he could've gotten in the story.
>>288031815Megumi's core concept doomed him from the start though. If Sakura's doomed because she's always a whiny boy obsessed bitch, Megumi's concept is that he's an intentionally weak loser who chooses to stay a weak loser. It's hard to sympathize with his suffering when Megumi made no effort to get away from his shitty fate. >inb4 you just wanted him to be a gary stuI don't like Yuta either. He's the opposite of megumi's problems is that nothing bad happens to him and he gets too much good in his run. Yuji is a good example of having a "weak" MC who still pulls up and keeps on fighting. Megumi is weak but gives up way too easily. This is not a character that people should look up to. And the one person he cares in the story has no screentime so when Tsumiki died, none of us felt anything because Megumi never interacted with her.
To think Megumi was originally going to be the MC for JJK, he would've easily surpassed Deku and Tsuna as THE WORST shonen MC.
>>288028821>that huge difference between Gojo and everybody elseKEK. I think it's safe that most people were reading JJK just for him.
>>288031942>TsunaIt was a miracle KHR didn't air during the covid era. Imagine the slander he would've gotten had KHR been running in Jump today
>>288031992Tsuna got shitted on hard in here when it was running. I can't imagine how worse would it be with today's audiences.
>>288031992As much as Tsuna sucks as a MC in terms of development, when the call needs him to fight for his family and friends, he would eventually get up and fight. You can't call him a bum like Megumi. He would still fight despite crying like a bitch 10 minutes ago. And unlike Deku, he literally never forgives his enemies so you won't hear him say shit like to someone like Byakuran as "You need saving"
>>288031992>>288032010Tsuna wouldn't get slandered hard when compared to those two. The ending to KHR is a nothingburger but he still has his position as the vongola boss, has his friends, and he is unironically one of the most powerful characters in the series since he never lost his powers. Meanwhile, nobody knows what happened to Megumi. Like not even a status update.
>>288031815>>288031867Gege just had no interest in even writing Megumi. Like for a supposed deuteragonist, he lacks literally everything that his role even needs. He has no rival to keep on challenging him to greater heights, most of his fights are against random people. Meanwhile, fucking Nobara got Mahito and the Death Paintings. Megumi never met Mahito for fuck sakes.
>>288032141Megumi had a mentor although everyone knows Megumi is such a bum that he chose not to train with gojo for whateve reason despite it could literally only benefit him.
>>288027689The correct word for Megumi is pure disappointment because he really wasn't a character despite the immense "ahem" potential he had. Sakura is just pure shit.
