Good luck. She looks like a bootleg rock carving of Miss Piggie that got dropped 4 or 5 times during shipment.

I'll admit it's been a minute since I've read/watched Naruto but what what point was Sakura ever a strong female character

You don't remember her taking out Sasori with Lady Chiyo?
That's basically the only thing she's done in the entire series.

I...actually don't. And I used to be a lightweight nerd for this series way back when iirc.
Damn.
That was 100% out of character for her though. She's been useless with flashes of worth for the entirety of the series. Naruto as a whole is a cesspool for weak female characters.
And there's people that want the girl to end up with the guy that keeps trying to kill her! Makes me sick. I'm tired of abusive relationships being glorified. It's bothers me (when it prolly shouldn't), but that's because it's so unhealthy.
Sakura really started off part 2 as a wonderful character. Its mind boggling how she was slowly but surely turned into a punching bag both emotionally and physically, instead of a heroine in the manga.
I hope once this manga ends there's never another like it. Nothing is remotely acceptable about the women in it, nothing. A spare few gems is never enough to excuse the overall presentation.
lovesick idiot has been her character from the start though

I know I didn't follow it much after that. I was like "this stuff is getting weak especially this Sasuke/Naruto shippingesque crap."
Naruto is more lovesick than her though.

There are plenty of strong females in the series that don't get a lot of the spotlight (if any at all). It would have been cool if he was trying to make a statement on battered spouse syndrome (or something akin to it) with Sakura, but he's not, and his handling of Sakura has been juvenile as fuck. Her love for Sasuke was cute as a crush, when they were kids, but since then she's been a waste of a character, whom can only do things when her male friends come to help her out. Her love for this jackass causes her to be crazy irrational. Tsunade should have slapped the fuck out of her.

Tsunade was cool until they nerfed her.

hey guys Sakura knocked the final boss upside the noggin' to setup a Naruto-Sasuke two way finisher. That's something, right?!
Kishi is trash, the manga has be horrible to its characters for a while now.

Really good title.
When Naruto finally has a female character stronger than all the protagonists, she basically has no voice and has a shadow man speak for her...

well it is about anti-vaccination so of course it blew up
I channeled JC
It wasn't ooc. She was supposed to come off more mature and so was Naruto. They both were destroyed in characterization for the sake of continuity and to keep fans interested.
Both have an unhealthy attachment to Sasuke, people are blindly mistaking his bond with the guy for 'normal' friendship, when in reality, it's still an abusive relationship.
But you're correct, the only girl I can recall being decent was Ino but she can't save this hideous manga.
She wasn't the only one. I think EVERY girl had something pertaining to romance as a motivation. Save maybe a few.

Really? I must have missed something cuz I remember her being pretty strong and able to hold up her team during the war with her leadership. But then again, I shouldn't be surprised if she was degraded given what's happened to everyone else.
Did you read another story? She was always screaming and being deadweight in a fight.

It was just an excuse to post a Bangs song.
Ino? I fell off around the time the war got started but Tumblr blog I followed used to keep me somewhat up-to-date til I stopped following. I saw a panel of someone coming back from the dead and Team Shikamaru was fighting the guy and she looked like she was handling everything pretty well.
Maybe that was fake?
Funny that the weapon fruit chick is treated as a joke, cause she could be legit dangerous.

I hate that Konan died to one of the most bullshit eye-hacks ever. She's up there with Itachi, imo. The way she sonned Obito was grand.
not really
you got real issues? then as long as you handle it like an adult - you'll typically be fine unless there's some massive underhanded corruption at work (which i've seen and dealt with myself and... it does exist but never in a place where you'd actually see this posted)
but outside of that, man... people can't get 'fired' in the military, so putting up with bitchassness makes shit rough for everyone else actually doing the job - and we all get paid the same regardless too so the common response to stuff is 'stfu we all know it sucks but it sucks more when you got dead weight on the team'
She was never strong, she was ass from the near beginning.
As opposed to turning into an elf to son someone I guess
They weren't kidding with that Deejay nerf
I'm about twelve-ish volumes behind, I think. I should catch up to see how much more ass-pulling Kishi has been able to pack into this (insanely drawn out) finale.

Count Blackule aint even safe in here, with this black on black crime
Remember Phase Two of the Chunnin exam when Kishi tricked us into believing he was gonna do with Sakura, but then he had her tie with Ino (probably the weakest kunoichi in Phase 3) during the tournament and sit out every major arc till the end of Part 1. Including the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, where scrubs like Kiba and Choji got pushed over her.
Good times.
Naturally, both are seldom seen and have shit for character development.
Good times.
TenTen's only motivation was wanting to be a great kunoichi like Tsunade and Temari was just about dat ninja life/looking out for her bros.

Destiny...let me set up custom rooms in PvP with no supers (or supers always on) or no vehicles etc don't mind if it won't count towards crucible marks or whatever. Let me have fun you dicks.
Provide a system for 'team no friends' to compile a raid team in game, like a bulletin board. Give some marks or something to those who sign up to help and follow through.
5 years on what Bungie?
