You are right, I cannot counter anything you said because we are talking about something that does not have a definitive answer.
There is no point in countering each other because it'll keep going in circles.
No matter what I say, you'll never see the similarity between Karin and this Sakura. And no matter what you say, I can never NOT see the similarities. This topic is such that we will always be opinonated i.e we won't change our minds. Hence its pointless to continue to argue and its best if we agree to disagree.
Yeah, I can see Sakura is her own character, not some copy of a joke that Kishi thought while bleeding out of his ass. I never thought that would be a useful skill to have, but I guess it is.
