I'm still just sad, sad to see that when a major event is coming in the manga, notablity the possibility of a death, rather than be concerned, people are either going to be unsurprised that its obito or rather hoping its sakura and its just sad, I mean even now, the aspect of her living is by all means just because of kishi's writing, if she isnt as critical to the main moment right now or the fight then her death wouldnt entail anything important, yet people only want it because they say it would do good for the story, not it wouldnt, I mean the whole aspect of character investment, well kishi made her invested a lot with others like naruto and tusnade and just plain being with team 7, isn't one of sakuras merits supposed to be maturity in the end if she started out hating naruto and blindly infatuated with sasuke? Considering the conflict she has had from the course of the story, isnt there a need for a resolution on her part? Well to most fans, no, there isnt because they just plain dont care about sakura. My disgust to this, its just plain embarrassing how fans really just want her death to come, I mean they ignored her for a long time and now its they want her dead. I know sakura isnt the biggest character, she is a main but still people treat her like she is unimportant. Trying to ignore her is like ignoring a fair porition of the story, about 30% give or take. She is part of many moments yet people act like Hinata somehow was always there or she is somehow a bigger character. Its just sad, sad that people only want a death to occur because of their preference.
I mean I can even make justice out of this argument for a character that died simply because she didnt do much to the plot or have any real form of development: I on my own, liked it when Andrea died in the walking dead tv series, it was just, it wasn't that Andrea was useless, she literally was the problem, its like the writers just deliberately went out of their way to make her as much of a kitten up as they could. I'm not criticizing Andrea for her loss with Amy, I'm not criticizing her for her efforts that were good when she met well, she literally caused much more chaos than was needed how?
- They literally made her the title of the "stereotypical dumb blonde" seriously, she couldn't smell danger if it was in front of her, she thought Shane was ideal, she was in love with the Governor, even after knowing what he did, she just got in bed with him and refused to kill him, seriously, this was a guy she met only a few days prior, I mean storywise she couldnt kill him, yet she let him run free even as she tried to get peace with the prison and woodbury.
- The biggest offense to most fans, she shot Daryl despite being told many times to not shoot not shoot, she did.
- She basically told Dale, the old dude who was really the only one who cared for her, to screw off only to regret it when he died.
- She told beth to basically kill herself in the hopeless world, just because she lost her sister, others should do it.
- She didn't even get retribution or closure, she was killed in such an easy way, it was just, meh, there was no saddness, no regret, the writers just abused her character to no end. She was killed in such an easy way she could have escaped, but no, it was just, lackluster, her death didnt even contribute anything in a series which is known for character deaths and otherwise giving them meaning. I mean hershel, the most recent to die, his death was like the last voice of reason for the survivors went away, he was killed in such a brutal way, people cried. People were sad when Hershel died. People were sad when Lori died giving birth to Judith, people were sad when they saw Michonne's past, people were sad when Dale died innocently this had an adverse reaction on Carl, The death of Karen though she was a very minor character, impacted Tyreese and Carol (who killed her in an effort to prevent an infection from spreading) and even then, Carol told this to Tyreese and offered to let him kill her, to end her guilt, but Tyreese forgave her and said though he was mad, we needed each other and for Judith (Rick's daughter) to survive. People cried when Sophia died and this was devastating on Carol. People cried when T-dog died sacrificing himself for Carol to get away, people were sad when Oscar, a prisoner died, after showing how though he was once a criminal he had role in helping others survive. All of these deaths, all had meaning, even the racist redneck Myerl went down fighting in an effort to kill the govenor and though he failed, he had a change of heart letting Michonne go rather than offer her as a prisoner to him. Yes people symphatized more with the racist redneck than Andrea, notice the problem? In a series which is known for death, to die doing nothing, espcially as a character running in 3 seasons, thats just bad. People almost celebrated the departure of Andrea, because the writiers just butchered her character so much reducing her to such a terrible underwealming and lackluster, ugh, she is the one character I never minded being killed off in any and all series I ever saw, I mean she really was just that badly written, she is like the slippy toad of the walking dead, no one likes slippy in the star fox series, we always just want to shoot him down to avoid his annoying voice, this one just just oh my god.
But unlike the walking dead, wishing death on sakura, theres no merited reason for her to actually die. She is important, she doesn't cause problems, the writers and kishi follow up on her and made her go from a small weak idealism girl to one who grew, gained new abilities, came to respect naruto, views sasuke uneasily now. Theres a much different view of her from point a to b to c, but Andrea, oh boy, she literally was a problem and the writers never made her change for the better, she was literally just so out of touch with the events, its a character like her that deserves all the hate sakura gets, Sakura gets stuff done at least, Andrea was literally one who just made more problems than there had to be. I mean seriously, she trusted Michonne knowing barely anything about her who kept her safe for 8 months, then comes to trust the governor within only 3 days about and doesnt support Michonne. Thats just terrible writing, thats a reason that makes you just hate a character then and there.
