I thought it was obvious enough that I'm joking.

 

I thought it was obvious so was I.

 

 

That is cool...thank you. Though doesn't this actually help my original point? Sakura calling Lee Lee-San shows that even in his dream he doesn't fancy his chances of being with Sakura.

I seriously don't know how this fight is going to work. It's now Kaguya vs leftovers (Team 7 and Edo?). A whole volume worth of fighting her. I do think the next chapter could be the actual last chapter of the volume. It wouldn't be the first time.

So, I guess I'm happy that I don't know what to expect. Unless Sasuke hands over those cheerleaders thing to Kakashi and Sakura, I do look forward to the battle.

Force of habit. I could have sworn there was a pairing with a person still calling -San. I'm trying to remember...

I saw a drama in which the character was dating someone she was calling -san. But I think that once your bond is very strong you stop calling the person -san. I don't know, it's just speculation, we should ask someone who knows don't you think?

It's like all the NS fans who wish Sakura was calling Naruto "Naruto-kun" once NS will be canon, they don't get that it would be like their relation was decreasing. Not calling him -kun shows that they have a very strong bond, even if at first she didn't use suffixe for him because she didn't care about him enough to call him -kun, now she calls him Naruto without suffixe because they are close enough. Calling him -kun would be like they are less close than they are now. It's like Kushina was suddenly calling Minato "Minato-kun" just because they are married. It doesn't work like that.

Maybe Lee just LIKES being called by -San? its the equivalent of mr/mrs. Like Mr. T, it sounds tough and manly.

I'm not sure why suffixes are so hard for people to grasp but -Chan is a often attached to a boyfriend/Girl friends name. Mamoru and Usagi being a prime example. I mean they are pretty much the pinnacle of "True love" status but she goes around calling him "Mamo-chan" and he calls her "Usako" as in Little Rabbit. As close as they all are, all the Senshi call Usagi with -chan. Not because they aren't close but because its a cute way to call one another. 

Not using a suffix with someone you don't know or are not friends with is probably one of the rudest things you can do to someone. ( by Japanese standards at least.) 

The fact that Sakura does it, and it does not bother Naruto- and never has says a lot about his feelings towards her. He doesn't consider it disrespectful even when she was doing it during her first appearance if I recall correctly. Naruto doesn't NEED to stop calling her by -chan to be closer to her. Its just a what he likes to call her because he thinks its cute, it has nothing to do with being close or not close.

But yea, what you said and more.

So what's the difference between kun and san?

One is annoying and one is ok. I'm kidding, but I do think someone should explain it here.

Are there allot of fans who want Sakura to call Naruto by Kun? I thought that was in the minority, I hate the idea personally, I like it when Sakura calls him by just his name, I don't know why it irks me when ever I see fanfic, or Doujin where she calls him Naruto-Kun, it's the opposite with Naruto, because as far as i'm aware Sakura is the only person he used -chan with, everyone else it's either on a first name basis, or by thir title. the ones he cares for more get a nickname, Pervy-sage, Baa-chan, Teme, Sakura-Chan, Kakashi-Sensie, Iruka-Sensie, With everyone else he's first name basis as far as I know, Ino, Shikamauru, Neji, Lee, Hinata.

[TouKen4Life3g]

As strange this may sound, but I refer a girl screaming a guy's name limit to 3 syllables. I mean it's odd how most of them ends before going to the fourth. "Natsu!" "Luffy!" "Eren!" "Ichigo!" "Naruto!" "Ed!" and the list goes on. When it comes to screaming, don't go more than 4.

Again, weirdest talk yet.

[Tsuki Hoshino]

I'll try to do that; 
 

-San is the equivalent of Mr/Mrs/miss in the English language, Its gender neutral and can be applied to equals of any age. Its both informal and formal. Married couples CAN use it when referring to one another, but that is a bit formal. 

-Kun is used by those of senior status addressing those their junior- like Kabuto or Iruka calling Naruto, "Naruto-kun." Its generally used to refer to boys, but the rule is not stone and it can be used when referring to a girl, such as an older male employee to a younger coworker. It can also be used by a teacher to female students. ( i forgot to mention this...and it was one of the more important parts!) Its also used by females when addressing a boy they are like or have known for a long time.

-Chan is a diminutive, its used to show that the speaker finds the person likable or to cute up a person's name. It can be used for babies, young women, young children, lovers, or close friends. 

-Sama is a formal version of -San, its more respectful and used for those of a much higher ranking then oneself. its also used when referring to customers and audience members, guests and deities. 

Its important to remember that these rules have SOME sway to personal preferences between two individuals.

I will be happy when Sakura stops thinking about their backs all the time before she does anything...and just does it because she's a bad@ss in her own right and she knows it. Power-up or no, if she's still having that flashback about them walking away from her before she draws on her own strength, then she's not using her full potential. She needs an emotional power-up.

 

She will never have their power. She will never be on their "level." But that's okay, because she does things they will never be able to do. She can heal, she can use her chakra to mend tissue and bone. Those ham-hands only know how to destroy, but Sakura knows how to restore, to resurrect from the dead. In my book, she's already at their level if not beyond. She's the top medic and the top kunoichi. She's mastered two fields in the time Sasuke and Naruto have mastered one. 

 

I don't care about the power-ups. It doesn't matter to me if she gets another one or not. I'd much rather see her believe in herself for a change. Her self-esteem is where she needs the power-up. 

This is something I can clearly relate to since am not the type of person who keeps asking for my favorite character to get any power up, this has never being my main focus when it comes to this manga but character development like Naruto acting immature and cannot live without Sasuke behavior, while Sakura lack of independence and her submissive behavior around Sasuke are things that needs a lot of work from Kishimoto.

This, so much. Sakura is never going to be on the same level as Naruto and Sasuke power-wise, that's especially clear now that Sasuke and Naruto have been revealed to be predestined for greatness, while Sakura is just a "normal girl". Power ups aren't the issue, not really. Sakura is capable of amazing things, but she still seems to doubt herself because she's still trying to measure herself next to her teammates. She needs confidence, in herself and her own abilities, more than anything.

 

I would still like to see her definitively surpass Tsunade though. That much I'm hoping for.

[TouKen4Life3g]

The idea of her going against Kaguya is a huge feat, unless she get rocked and do nothing. But we'll see. Kakashi, I'm still wondering.

Unless she gets multiple injections of Byakugou steroids, I don't see that happening.

Like I said, we'll see. I mean punch her once would be something else. But who knows. Her resume starts with "challenging Kaguya to the death." Nothing else is written.

I know, but I just don't see her attempting to do the same strategy that failed against Juudara and then to try it on Kaguya?

[NaruSakuishere]

Kishi obvious has a plan for her to be going up against Kaguya, otherwise I don't see no reason for her to be there. I'm just wondering if it's a power-up, and if so, will it be enough to put her on par with Naruto and Sasuke.

Who to say do it again. That's like her keep dodging from Sasori all day instead of knocking the blocks. You learn from the battlefield, now execute your next move.

He's been shown to basically being a god. She can't make any assessment by charging in or doing whatever. Their just that invincible. I believe she will have a part in the battle, but I don't know how exactly.
