This is true. Back then, this site was the only safe space for NS fans. It was horrible then.

you forget the nh fans probably praise that waterfall scene from that bug hunt filler arc with hinata dancing while nude

I had thought about this for a while and I believe Sakura is one of the greatest anime characters in history. This isn't even about her characterization or how she is portrayed in the manga/anime because there are better characters in the anime world. I say  this because I have never seen ANY character in ANY anime or manga bring out so much toxicity in fans. Just her presence alone bothers them (and it is mostly men who hate her and some women) so much that it shocks me.

 

I saw a twitter user said that Hinata is better because she probably has better *private part* in retaliation to a Sakura fan. They reduced Hinata's entire character into being a sex symbol and breeding machine.

 

The most ridiculous ones I have seen is because Sakura treated Naruto bad, rejected Naruto and loved Sasuke too much. It is almost like they WISHED she stopped loving Sasuke and liked Naruto instead. I know a lot of these fanboys self-insert themselves as Naruto but I don't think they are even satisfied with their Queen Hinata. Its almost as if they wanted Sakura to end up with Naruto because they keep bringing up that she treated Naruto bad and rejected him and loved Sasuke.

 

To make matters worse, I even saw some calling 12 year old Sakura a WHORE for not liking Naruto but Sasuke. She is only 12...a literal child.

 

Anyway, some claim she is irrelevant but they cannot stop talking about her instead of their milk-eyed queen. Sakura is so powerful to be honest. I am so proud of her exposing the misogynist and incel behavior of Naruto fans. This fandom is so disgusting but thank god that Sakura has had a resurgence in popularity especially on twitter where she has so many supporters.

 

I agree on Sakura being one of the greatest character. Why?

 

Because she's a mirror... she's a mirror to the humanity inside of us and the reality that we're nothing but mere human beings, not always a part of the elite.

 

And that ticked people off... cuz it reminded them of their own weakness. It reminded them of the hard work needed to change your status. And kids nowadays aren't used to hard work.

 

They want instant gratification which you usually get when you're an elite due to your status, so that's why they hated her.

 

She represented everything they hated in the world and themselves. Sakura wasn't their comfort character. She was the challenging one.

 

So they found comfort in the elite characters, because to them, everything due to the virtue of their elite statuses, meant finding the mental comfort.

 

Observing Sakura's phenomena from a social point of view is really interesting.

 

From a spiritual one, as well...

The failure of Sakura's character arc is probably the worst thing about Naruto. Seeing her arc properly resolved had the potential to be so satisfying  Someone who's weak, shallow, mediocre, annoying who becomes the total opposite of that. She was challenging and it was easy to hate her. But that all had a purpose and should have been worth it. It would have been really nice in the end.

 

If I end up talking to anyone about Naruto IRL I end up in the role of Morpheus from the Matrix: "What if I told you... That Sakura Haruno should have been one of the best characters ever?" It's a shock to people. Like "I always hated Sakura ever since I was 6 years old"  Yeah, so did I. But it wouldn't have mattered.

 

Take the red pill.

This was the perfect contrast to Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura had the most development and character evolution of almost any other named character in the series. She was a regular girl with no special abilities to speak of. She was constantly bullied and formerly shy needing her only friend to stand up for her and had a crush on the quiet cool kid like all of her other peers. The point of her character was to grow out of all of that, to be more self confident in herself and love who she is, be more compassionate and considerate of others and and an overall stronger person. Her changing feelings for Naruto was just the icing on the cake. That is what made her a great character for many, if not all of us here. But her detractors would hear none of it. She was the scum of the earth to them because she was not a lovesick Naruto fangirl/bimbo that only goes, "Naruto-kun is so cool! Naruto-kun is so cute/handsome! Naruto-kun is so dreamy!" Like Naruto DESERVES. But when she actually becomes more affectionate and emotionally protective of Naruto, they all go "HOW DARE SHE GET IN THE WAY OF NARUTO'S ONE TRUE LOVE, HINATA HYUGA!!!" The Naruto fandom's double standards and hypocrisy is amazing I tell you. And I mean that in the most ironic way possible.

Yes he is as is riku in kingdom Hearts

Yup, and Bucky did all he could to make things right, like his becoming Captain America in the comics when Steve was thought to be dead.

Right even in the movies he regrets what he did plus you buy why Steve tries to save him since we saw them as friends in the first captain America movie.

Apparently, Osamu Kobayashi died this week. He was an anime director. Among his work. He did Naruto Shippuden episodes 480-483. Those were the exploring the relationship between NH SS episodes along with Gaara and Shikamaru and Jiraiya and Kakashi. He also did concept art/image boards for the Last.

 

He also worked on Someday's Dreamers, Paradise Kiss, and Beck.
