Sakura in this photo looks like a tsunade clone! 

 

To me sakura needs something to stand out when she grows older, I don't see her turning into a tsunade clone appearance wise. 

yeah, but it should be the other way round coz we see sakura first in the manga. anyway she doesn't have that bangs anymore, her bangs now are more normal.

I actually think they should have done Sakura's hair like that bath scene where It was all shiny and curly. I think they want to recreate those bangs and put it in the manga.

1 explanation might be kishi wanted to keep the suspense for sakura's byakugou by using her hair to hide the seal (like the manga cover), and a second explanation might be that she got caught up in the fighting that's why her hair are messier than usual... but no one's else hair changed... sasuke's bangs are neat and shiny as hinata's lol

Well around the time, Sasuke didn't take damage or anything. I mean look at that latest colorspread. Naruto looks damaged, Sakura looks rough with dirt, and Sasuke looks clean. Now it has changed, but it was funny at the time.

  I want to see this all the time....

Naruto will do, at least every night

Naruto won't be able to do a thing if he sees Sakura like that ... In other words, he'll go unconscious with a nose bleed. Lol.

Ok I am now convinced that half the Male NS fans here have the same trait Naruto and jiraiya have.

[TouKen4Life3g]

@Baka-chan and Redragon88: lol at those. I admit, I find the second one more accurate but I guess when talking about amount of fans, the first make sense, as much as I don't like to say it. Still, pretty funny.

What makes you say that? Though I am guilty on this.

Shouldn't it be obvious as NaruSaku.

While I do respect some of Naruto's traits (his determination and joy) I would rather never in my life act like him. Not that I can't be silly from time to time, but not Naruto's type of silly.

 

But now that you've mention it I think that fact is an excuse haters use to bash NS fans. They claim the guys simply see themselves in Naruto and want NS to happen because we were rejected by a real life "Sakura" so we want to compensate with the story.

 

While rejection is part of life I haven't had any drama of a long standing unrequited crush (I move on rather fine, plenty of good girls in the world) so I've never had any "Sakura" to dealt with. Don't know about the others.

I know that it's being said something similar about NH. Guys like having a girl like Hinata.

 

Well, not all the people are the same.

[TouKen4Life3g]

I have a "Sakura" though not in the level of trying to win her heart, not that I went on contest mode. I remember hearing her crush in the same class we were in and I was like "ok". Later, after developing feelings for her, I tried the best not to feel jealous in front of her. I always respect her, just have to keep some inside to show her you're not hurt or don't make things complicated. Well, those days ended, but I guess that's how I see Naruto, except he actually witness an embracing moment, regardless that Sasuke didn't show anything in return. Life is funny.

In my opinion i dont like shy girls xD

[Inferno180]

I really just wonder what Sakura's next event will be if everyone else did that attack to breach Obito's shield down.

 

Well if anyone has a moment coming up its kakashi, he has been in the kumai dimension since 629. About time he gets back in the action.

 

Actually I realized something funny. In the pairing debates, both sides are equally guilty of just saying "well the other girl will just be okay off this way or that way."

 

Well this isn't an argument that can be brushed off, think of it like this. Who has had more time invested in development overall, dynamics with Naruto, and correlation to the story? Yes Sakura.

 

When people go saying the sidelined argument will happen to a character, they basically say that everything can just go the way it is without any resolution or minimal closure.

 

So essentially when many argue against NS, they basically just want Sakura's character development to just go off the side. Yet there is plenty wrong with this statement: think about how much kishi invested in Sakura with what he chose to write, in fact a simple notion is just going back to character corrleation, who they interact with a lot.

 

If we look at Sakura, ignoring Naruto, who else does she associate with highly? Kakashi, Sai, mainly Tsunade, Ino, the rest of the K11, Sakura has reserves for who she can associate with and still have importance. Basically if not team 7, she can associate with Tsunade and still have a niche role to end with or without Naruto. All Sakura's assocations have basically a solid intergeated establishment somewhere in the story, team7, the sannin, team 10, most likely more exist.

 

Now look at Hinata, who does she associate with aside from Naruto? Kiba, Shino, Kurenai, her clan (including Hinabi and her father) and Neji. Yet a few problems with the first 3, Kiba has had some stuff for never anything overly important with Hinata, just teammate association. Shino is a minor character, not much on his end. Kurenai is even more scarce, her real role is just a mother to her unnamed son. As for her clan well, Hanbi has not even been seen since the chunin exams, her father is just there as her father and her clan as her clan. The majority of this, not really overly crucial to the story and from what we have seen from Hinata, well its still dwarfed immensely by what she has done with Naruto and Neji. Neji was her only other major corrlation but he died. So if Hinata's corrlations are rather, insignificant. They haven't been brought to the forefront of importance. She has team 8, her clan, and well naruto, but not counting Naruto, her clans story has been very limited, not even part of the sage story. Team 8 is just there in a limited sense too. This isn't even taking into account Hinata's limited development.

 

So if we had to get finish a character's development, who would be easier addressed? Sakura or Hinata? Hinata has Naruto, but Sakura has Naruto and many more. So who can essentially be "wrapped up" easier in their development? Yes its Hinata, basically going back to the whole simple ideal of more screentime = more importance. Hinata has more time than some others like tenten and shino, but the real factor is in the time kishi has put her onscreen, not much was significantly accomplished by her compared to others like Shikamaru or Tsunade who also are outdone by the main characters for obvious reasons, they still make enough associations and rather ties to others on screen in which we can see correlations that are brought to the forefront and flow of the manga as the story moves on.

 

Thats essentially the horse in the stable, people cannot just say Sakura can be done like this or that, no. I mean even going by the dynamics of who actually changed more regarding Naruto, theres a major difference just in how they both first saw Naruto, Sakura hating and being arrogent at first going to closest friends, concerned, and believing in him rather than Hinata who always loved him but was just shy. See? Yes Hinata always loved him but thats not change, thats been a static condition on her, if it came to Sakura actually loving Naruto in the end, its a much bigger dynamic than Hinata merely just needing to no longer be shy. See the ordeal? Sakura would have gone from hating Naruto and loving Sasuke to in the end loving Naruto after all the issues with team 7 compared to Hinata who all the time just had to overcome her shyness. We even see Sakura have a few moments thinking about Naruto and conflicted over the Sasuke stuff, but what about Hinata? She just loves Naruto and thats been pushed forward a lot, but its not really dynamic, its just something repeated and people wait to see if she overcomes her shyness or not, thats really all we see from her. Reason many of us have faith in NS is because of this dynamic for Naruto and Sakura, that how much Sakura has changed from hating him to being concerned  and compassionate about him after learning so much about him over the course of the story. Its a much greater difference of Sakura going from this negative to positive outlook on Naruto compared to Hinata who always had a positive outlook, just with a shyness rock in her way.

 

Even then, we see on screen Sakura slowly changing her outlook on naruto from hate to friendship, thats fact. HInata in her time remains so static, at this point, would Hinata's focus on Naruto really just be the late version of part 1 sakura's early ideal of sasuke in a nutshell? I mean NH has more content than SS but its still outdone by NS so much, its hard to imagine Sakura just being sidelined as many people keep trying to say she will be. Its not going to be good to just brush her aside, Sakura is very important to the story. Hinata isn't that critical. Its just something many people may not realize but its just that simple, main character means very important, minor character not so much.

Good luck explaining this to the NH and Hinata fangirls

In western Hinata is much popular than Sakura truly is

 

A side character being popular than the main character bugs me alot

 

And mostly they like hinata is becuse they saw her in fillers defeating lot of strong enemies but in reality she gets her ass kicked

 

and then they go saying Sakura is useless Hinata has byakugan , Hinata defeated lot of enemies she sacrifaced herself for Naruto! without her half of the villiagers would be dead! etc etc etc.

 

But hey Sakura is still much popular in Japan  :)

Well, off to write Sakura appreciation post. Before I go, here's one question:

After going back to anime (me), I realized the studio really likes to add more or emphasis more on the most likely endgame pairing. Note: I say most likely because it's up to the author to actually close the deal or make it like "Well they definitely best candidate but I won't close." That said would you say that the anime increased your liking for NS or any other pairings in general? Why?
