@PharaohSSB I need to rewatch the entire show cus I genuinely can’t remember what Ryan’s relevance was from season to season there were genuinely times where I forgot he was an important character
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 The sasori fight was one of the best fights in all of shippuden we needed more of that but there wasn’t a lot of akatsuki members and they wanted Naruto to face some of them and distribute them amongst the other cast- Sasuke, kakashi, shikamaru, gai etc
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 yeah, a lot of ppl agree. Which is how I also feel about Sakura. Just wanted them to have her learn more things to set her apart from being the second coming of tsunade like maybe learning about elements from kakashi or asking someone abt genjutsu
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 I agree and that’s the problem for a lot of ppl. I don’t have a problem with her having a crush on the “cool guy” it’s realistic for her age. I’m just saying we needed more scenes about her doing things for herself and nobody else
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 I know that for the sake of the story she was supposed to lose but it was literally one of her only fights in shippuden and the series for that matter we’ve only gotten like 2-3 tsunade fights and it could have at least been shown in its entirety
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 I agree but this supports by point that the female characters are sidelined. They didn’t let Kurenai teach them and then retired her.
And I agree they let too much of Sakura be about loving Sasuke, this isn’t an attack on Sakura this is just saying they could have done more
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 That’s exactly my point, she fought him… and it ended off screen cus the cast grew so much they didn’t even give us the full fight
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 Naruto didn’t rlly get nepo baby benefits at his start tho… he just made efforts to teach himself things like the shadow clone jutsu and learning from others like Lee’s taijutsu
Yes Sasuke got special treatment but nothing was stopping them from writing more Sakura training
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 regardless of itachi being stronger than most of the cast Sakura as a genin in p1 still could have learned from kurenai or any other mentor in the village to have a resource for training so that she could develop skills outside of what tsunade taught her
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 and being the best female ninja isn’t a huge accomplishment because they sideline almost all of the female characters.
Tsunade’s most important fight in the war ended off screen… I think that was one of the only fights she had in shippuden
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 Her climbing the tree was a symptom of her great chakra control which is connected to them setting her up to do well with genjutsu that they dropped for seemingly no reason.
You can acknowledge that she became strong & the fact they skimmed on things with her at the same time
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 also they embarrassed her by having her say “I finally caught up to them” during the war just to give Naruto and Sasuke god tier power ups a few episodes later
@RANBY0@IloveViolet100 Chuunin exams arc and then they just gave her a few hospital visit scenes and no training until like the end of p1
Naruto/Sasuke both have skills that they learned outside of their sannin but they didn’t rlly give sakura a lot, just a tsunade carbon copy the most part
@ViviNegroQueen Oh I know this shit has been dead but the entire argument was dumb to begin with because the screenshots in the document actually confirmed that their “relationship”ended before deathspade even turned 18 so they were both minors the entire time…
@ViviNegroQueen cus you know you are literally constantly going back on everything you said 😭 implied it was grooming then said it wasn’t grooming then again implied it was grooming. Idk abt u but I deeply regret reading that… two high school teens sexting is not predatory have a good day
@ViviNegroQueen you just don’t see the irony of you calling people chronically online but thinking 2.5 years is an age gap that warrants this much discussion (when you already admitted this is an age gap that exists within high school)
Like do you think everyone only dates within 1 year of age
@ViviNegroQueen The entire point of this thread which you invaded was just to call out how it basically took people discussing unwanted sexual advances as an opportunity to complain about two teenagers willingly sexting each other with gross roleplay and then stopping.
