#also if you watched the anime and didnt read the mamga then it doesnt help

[sakuras-divorce-lawyers]

You do understand that you just proved my point because 3/4 of the points you brought up were related to her crush on Sasuke

Correct me if I'm wrong but these seem to be your arguments:

Sakura fought Ino over Sasuke

Instead of focusing on strength, she focused more on being "girly" and trying to get Sasukes attention

She has moments were she obviously cares WAY more about Sasuke than Naruto, and behaves hypocritically because of that

Sakura is still obsessed with him even after rejection

Sakura (and Naruto) care too much about Sasuke in Shippuden

Sakura leaves behind her teammates to try an "save" Sasuke

The only two points you made that don't really have anything to do with Sasuke are these (my counterarguments are in italics):

She lied to Naruto with the fake confession (She did this because Sai said that Naruto only was chasing Sasuke to make her happy. She knew that Naruto was hurting himself while tryomg to pursue Sasuke so she wanted to pretend-confess so Naruto wouldn't have to be in pain. I liked this scene tbh but if you think that her decision was stupid/arrogant then ig it's just difference in opinion :/ You have every right to not enjoy this scene.)

She got stronger (???? Why does this bother you??? You were literally just complaining about her being too weak in part 1. And idk why you said that only Sasuke surpassed his Sannin because Naruto and Sasuke are insanely overpoweted. They could fold 99% of the entire cast. If anything, they don't deserve the power they had because the entire otsutsuki plotline was stupid alien/destiny/reincarnation bullshit that got thrown into the final arc last minute for no reason. On the other hand, ever since Sakura started training with Tsunade she was preparing to unlock the byakugou and it was repeatedly stated that the byakugou would make Sakura more or less as strong as Tsunade. Her power up was planned/hinted and it makes sense. Being mad about her power up feels really illogical and hypocritical to me.)

You also mentioned that Sakura already was petty to Ino before Sasuke got involved, but that is not true. They were best friends and they put flowers in each other's hair and shit. There is zero evidence that they ever fought prior to their Sasuke Love Triangle (Unless you can find a page of the manga that proves me wrong? Maybe I overlooked something?) Also, they were both 12. Of course 12 year old girls would be annoying and boy-crazy.

But yeah, at the end of the day your response has A LOT of focus on her feelings for Sasuke. The vast majority of the criticisms you made were about sasu/saku or sasu/saku related which means my op was right 😳

i've seen some massive anti-sakura posts in my day. But the thing is... 99.9% of the evidence these people use to say that she is an "evil human being" are scenes revolve around her crush on sasuke. If that doesn't speaks volumes about how bad ss was to her character, I don't know what will. Honest to god if kishi had her get over sasuke at the start of shippuden, then her role would focus around her good traits (her strength, her gratitude for her friends, her ambition). Instead she has gone down as one of the most hated anime girls of all time.
