If interview is true Kishimoto gives up on Sakura, consequence SS is canon
And I’m supposed to believe SS wasn’t the final nail in Sakura’s character coffin?
Kishimoto stopped caring about Sakura and so she was put in a relationship with a guy who verbally abused her throughout the final act.
I know what the rallying cry is going to be “oh Kishimoto crapped on Sakura but at least she got SS, at least she got Sasuke!”
Sorry to tell you folk getting Sasuke was part of the process of Sakura getting crapped on and downgraded as a herione.
SS is the byproduct of the author no longer caring about the development, well being or future of a character aside from being a means to an end
