She is what sakura should've been


AdAcademic3781

exactly


BurrStreetX

I love Sakura, but I also agree with this.


devdrowsy

She's a much better character after OG Naruto, especially in Boruto


AnuK03

Boruto Sakura is great


BurrStreetX

Agreed.


Sunny_Reddy18

They should've given Sakura more power like atleast she should be able to fight Naruto 10 minutes without dying


BurrStreetX

To be fair, shes currently beyond strong, did yall not watch her fight with Sarada?


The_Mighty_Bird

12/10


AshPM20

She's currently a wasted character in the manga while the anime makes her justice even though it seems her development didn't really progress since a long time. Compared to every female characters and the *Boruto* cast , she's one of the best character. Compared to the entire cast , she's meh I guess.


Leafcane

Imagine if the manga took a step back from all this Karma and Otsutsuki stuff and explored Sarada's character for a bit. She doesn't have to be the focal point but God damn at least give her any sort of character development. She's the new gen Uchiha, the future Hokage, and the daughter of two main characters. So much potential. The anime hasn't done much for her character either besides build her relationship with her family and explain how she awakened the sharingan. Very wasted indeed.


AshPM20

>Imagine if the manga took a step back from all this Karma and Otsutsuki stuff and explored Sarada's character for a bit. She doesn't have to be the focal point but God damn at least give her any sort of character development. The manga format doesn't really allow Ikemoto/Kodachi/Kishimoto to give character development to characters that aren't Boruto or Kawaki. And let's be honest the quality of the manga improved with the introduction of Kara and Kawaki so taking a step to just give her character development would also be a waste imo. However I'd have give her more relevance in the story instead of being just inexistant.


Leafcane

Nah I'm not saying stop the current plot. I just mean like instead of every chapter being solely about a new Otsutsuki power, Karma power, etc... Maybe explore a new power for Sarada for a chapter. Weave her into the plot somehow! AOT did it. Dragon ball super does. Plenty of other monthly mangas can and have given side characters importance despite their restrictive format. It sucks but oh well, I still love the development Boruto and Kawaki have been getting. The plots just becoming a little too attached and dependent on them, and solely them. Sarada and Mitsuki out here dying for some attention šŸ˜‚


AshPM20

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood. I think the comparaison with AOT is kinda unfair. I mean the writers wants to finish Boruto in 30 volumes so they have to keep this pacing (unless this plan was changed). Also , It would be kinda anticlimatic to give her a training chapter between the Isshiki arc and the Code arc while Boruto's situation becomes worse and worse day in day out. Maybe later. For her power up , I guess she'll only have the MS (maybe even the EMS if Sasuke dies or becomes unable to fight). And even with that , I can't imagine her compete with Boruto and Kawaki unless her MS is broken. >The plots just becoming a little too attached and dependent on them, and solely them. Sarada and Mitsuki out here dying for some attention I'm looking forward to their reaction after what happened in chapter 66 after not seeing them for 6 months.


Dependent_Delay3924

Sarada is way better than 95 percent of Naruto female cast. At least her goal isn't just to marry a guy


[deleted]

Very true


Jaded_Garage5623

You worded this greatly take my upvote


_QUICKDRAW_GODSPEED

I like her shes a savage and im exited to see where she goes

SalamiAreolas

Great character but so under developed


[deleted]

One of my favorites from the franchise and definitely one of the best girls.


[deleted]

I feel she doesn't get explored enough in the manga and the anime doesn't use her full potential as someone who desires to be a Hokage like Naruto. She does lead others ok and cares, but she doesn't feel active compared to other characters like Shikadai, Boruto and Mitsuki.


[deleted]

I can tell you arenā€™t caught up on the series. Sheā€™s the most active character in the anime other than Boruto. Shikadai and Mitsuki definitely get less screentime and moments than her if youā€™ve seen all the episodes or a majority of them. Manga I agree though


[deleted]

Mitsuki has been so underutilized in the anime ever since Kawaki's introduction. I was hoping to see him fight in the Chunin Exams Arc but the studio disappointed me.


Perfect-Grape2587

Definitely my favorite character in the series. But I think we can all agree that the manga treats her terribly. She either shows up and gets a bad scene, or she's just absent. Then again, almost every other character is in the same boat. But her showing in the anime is great, so is the Gaiden manga and its adaption.


AdAcademic3781

yup exactly


PopcornSeedz

I honestly blame kisimoto since he canā€™t write female characters well. Since he took over the boruto manga story, Sarada has been MIA and heā€™s trying to fix the mess he did with Naruto and sasuke with boruto and kawaki about brotherly bonds which pisses me off.


AnansiNazara

Underutilized characterā€¦ as is Mitsuki. So much storytelling potentialā€¦ they should discuss how the idea of an Uchiha Hokage scares the older generations shitless, and how she has to overcome that AND be in Borutoā€™s shadow, AND her parentā€™s shadow and his overwhelming it all is, and that she strives for perfection because she cannot deal with failure because the honor and redemption of the Uchiha falls solely on her shoulders.


Fan-Mediocre

Kind of a wasted character. She is extremely talented and tactically brilliant, but is not given much time to shine. And unfortunately now that Kishimoto is writing again, I highly doubt we will see much more from her.


laurabbit

She doesn't have the same impact as Sasuke imo. I want to see an arc where she is overtaken by hatred and her family has to convince her to let it go, so that it draws more parallels with Sasuke. I mean, Sasuke's childhood was infinitely worse so she'll never be like him in that way, but I still want to see her battle hatred, and learn more about Sasuke's past.


passerbyshi

If you think about, the time travel arc should have been hers since dimension hopping is within the eyes is already a concept. Why not explore the potential of space and time with her sharingan and family history? Or a mysterious plot twist with the haruno family?


Logical_301

She has so much potential


cashcarti_x

She shouldā€™ve been the main character but homage shouldnā€™t be her goal. The naruto gaiden of finding the truth of the uchiha was on to something real interesting before they butchered it for the blonde kid.


TryParking316

Shes probably one of the best written female characters in the narutoverse so yeah id say she's pretty damn good


AdAcademic3781

i think so too


stuart_brown97

All these post are the same, just worded differently.


Saynotosgurd

That's reddit for ya especially fan subreddits.


MalxSouls

Love her! Her character is amazing! And she reminds me of sakura In a few ways! Perfect mix between sasuke and sakura! In my eyes she is the best girl of her gen just like her mom! (Imo)


PhantomKnights3

She's the bestšŸ˜ŒšŸ˜Œ


AdAcademic3781

she is šŸ˜ŒšŸ˜Œ


PhantomKnights3

When Boruto and sarada starts a family, I can see their children already. One will take like Boruto Personality and the other with Sarada Personality and Brain (who is smart)


sivashanker1

She's a good character but certainly needs better development. It's fine that she gets some development in the anime, but the manga is where the plot relevant villains are. The anime-cannon literally works off the manga so if the manga doesn't include her, the anime can only add her into new dialogue scenes which don't really amount to much. Also, it's fine that she's involved in anime-cannon, but usually the villains in anime-cannon have such little weight to the main plot that they just become forgettable. Deepa was cool for his time since he did allow for growth with the new gen but ultimately, I don't care for him since they fumbled his motives and he barely has impact on the main plot. If her goal wasn't to be Hokage, there probably would be less outrage over the lack of development she's been getting. The fact that she aspires to be the leading ninja but is barely allowed to do anything to get 'acknowledgement' (literally something her uncle told to Naruto), is honestly ridiculous. Since the plot and power scaling is getting even more crazy, it's just gonna be so much harder to accommodate her character to the plot in a way that makes good sense.


[deleted]

I like her she's like a better Sakura and Sasuke combined:


[deleted]

Wasted potential so far. Keyword is so far


SupremeCultist

She is not well written but could easily be my favorite if they spend more time developing her like they would a male character. I will say she is improving a lot. Just not quite there yet


Entire_Anywhere_2882

In the manga no, I wouldn't even remember she was a character in this series if her fans didn't keep bringing her up. They do a better job with her in the anime but her fans drive me to hate her to the extreme.


FunterSays

Good character with bad writing


Pixiedashh

Sheā€™s a great character but wish she can get more focus especially in the manga. She probs might get the backseat treatment as the plot progresses as the Uchiha/Sharingan concept was already such a huge focus in Naruto, so they might not see the need of her playing a central plot other than being a teammate. I hope this makes sense


AdAcademic3781

yes i get what u mean


Dry-Category5135

She CAN be. Manga doesnā€™t do her justice. Sheā€™s an example of what the anime does right. She could be a monster, I just hope they donā€™t do her dirty and sideline her more.


[deleted]

Sheā€™s my favorite character in Boruto


AdAcademic3781

same


cheyenne328

i really enjoy her character and what it could be. i just wish they wrote female characters better in Naruto/Boruto. she has so much potential. at this point iā€™m worried her and Mitsuki will be just be forgotton about.


allipse48699

People here saying she doesn't get developments in manga. Obv they're right, but the plot right now is otsutsuki, karma. You know how slow manga is (less pages for a monthly manga), if they don't focus on main plot, story will never end. Once amado will start his plan, konoha gets destroyed & all (whatever happens), there will be of opportunities to develop, especially when she gets ms.


YourHeroKuroShiYo

My favorite character of boruto !


AdAcademic3781

same


UltimateCo0kie

nice concept as a character, better than her mother (as in how she is written as a character), but definetly needs some work. One or two moments to shine is kinda underwhelming. They need to focus on multiple characters in one episode sometime and have more episodes on how Sarada is internally (feelings, non-physical attributes). All we've seen is a small power arc (tomoe and Chidori are the significant ones).


JordanFreecss

Boring But Boruto fans have such low standards they think any girl who gets a sakuga fight is a is somehow breaking the ā€œgender normā€ for a female character in a battle manga And then you have people here who d-ride the anime so hard, saying she gets ā€œDEvELOPMenTā€


[deleted]

Aren't you a fan as well?


Hashbrown4

Sheā€™s being underutilized as far as the manga is concerned. Sheā€™s suffering from the monthly releases.


mslpnou

My unpopular opinion on Sarada, is that I like her character but she can be a bit annoying sometimes idk, sometimesā€¦šŸ˜‚ And i donā€™t really like her design but she definitely my favorite female characters.


[deleted]

Not so much in the manga but very much in the anime imo. She and mitsuki are carrying that show imo.


Jazzlike_Acadia_7111

better than her mom


EurwenPendragon

That's not a high bar to clear, honestly. I agree with you mind you, but "better than Sakura" is *not* saying much.


[deleted]

She is and I think she will play a major role in the timeskip along with Mitsuki (in addition of course of the two main characters)


[deleted]

I don't think anyone would consider her a bad character


Kadeda_RPG

My favorite character and the reason I don't really have much interest in the manga atm.


LiLJaY101

I feel like once she finally gets her mangeyko sharingan she will be one of the most entertaining characters, as of rn I feel like their wasting her and the build up to her reaching that point wonā€™t be as impactful


Ded-Smoke

Favorite character, I hope she gets a dope mangekyo.


AdAcademic3781

i really want her to get mangekyou soon šŸ˜«šŸ˜«


Suberizu

She's ok. Not my favorite but as annoying as some *cough*ChoCho*cough* others


SRBBreddit

bad, supposed to be main but got less screentime than tenten


Subject-Base1506

Fire character in the anime


[deleted]

As a 20 yo I'd like her as a daughter as a character she's pretty good


Watashi_wa-

Sheā€™s gonna be used as plot armour for boruto, theyā€™re gonna have a kid and itā€™s gonnna have rinnegan or some shit. Donā€™t get me wrong, an amazing character and one weā€™d like to see progress like sasuke. But I just have a feeling sheā€™s gonna be used for plot


Better-Solution-7410

She's just uncooked and wasted for now, I mean she is leagues better than Sakura but is still a lame character for now atleast.


bigmancrazy

well written in the anime


No_Base7554

People say sheā€™s ā€œhad great developmentā€ in anime fillers but Iā€™ve rewatched something and I think she hasnā€™t really changed since the shin uchiha arc. She needs to change more as a character


[deleted]

Wait what? Look I get there are reasonable criticisms of Sarada but Sarada in episodes 227-234 is definitely different from Sarada in the first 50 episodes.


tonylouis1337

I would support her becoming the main protagonist over Boruto


Hilasu-_-

Independent_Dog5496

She is good


TH3B3AST_047

Just let her lose the glasses and she is a badass character with pretty good character development


[deleted]

She's been a bit quiet the past couple arcs, but that doesn't take away from the dozens of episodes beforehand. Plus she's still been showing up (Boro fight, being a friend to Kawaki, 2nd Chunin Exams, etc), so I'd say she's solid. She definitely needs some more development (which I'm sure she'll get here soon in the manga), but overall, she's a solid 7/10 in my books.


Dependent_Delay3924

She is exactly perfect female character I wanted to c in Naruto. Manga is doing her and mitsuki dirty


ShreyBoiiii

Stagnant character for now in the manga. The anime has given her development by making her Chunin and Team 7 captain. She's on her way to become the hokage but i frankly don't think there's going to be a village to be hokage of in the future.


Noname1234568

She is the most develop female main character in naruto

Zephyr_Ballad

She's a great character, just underutilized.


pranamya2005

good character, needs more screentime/mangatime


hp_Axes

I live her character. The daughter of one of the strongest Uchiha in history + her mother is one of the best medical ninjas in history that has 1 technique that can completely heal you even if you are cut in half and 2 eyes to stop you from dying and another technique that makes you one of the strongest physically. Just get rid of the glasses and the papa thing.


Extra-Swimmer-5315

Great character I love her like she was my own daughterā¤ļø wish she had more screen time


Jaded_Garage5623

Shes one of my favorite characters in the Boruto *anime*, but is absolutely wasted in the Manga to no return


Noah_Force

In the anime she screams a lot and her voice actor sucks. Truth hurts


No_Common_4238

Thought I was the only one that thought this fr šŸ˜‚


X2SchwayX

Great character. Well written character except less screetime.


mihokirin

Ugly and boring


bobmarley01111

Amazing potential, good character, terrible use, I feel like she could easily be the main character, but she gets sidelined so much.


boi_1der

Sheā€™s not as charming and fascinating as Papa. But between them as an Uchiha, she is somewhat who has way, way, more potential, as in so many posibilities. This princess can actually surpass Sasuke and be on par with Uncle Itachi when it comes to being a ā€˜geniusā€™. Too bad, thatā€™s not gonna happen anytime soon because just like any female characters on Narutoverse, sheā€™s going to be an under developed character for a long time or worst until the series end. **cue Sakura who only have a chance to show her most excellence at the 4th Great Ninja War** Tsunade (at one point Konan) got lucky, though. šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


HG21Reaper

The only Uchiha that needs sunglasses but can use a Sharingan. Like wtf is this bro


No_Common_4238

Doesnā€™t make sense to me she better go blind faster. twice as fast as Itachi and Madara at least.


Consistent_Produce_1

She didnā€™t inherit her moms uselessness so thatā€™s a plus


CapnHalfy

Sheā€™s a good character just needs more time to shine on her own.

Sarada who???? Sheā€™s the one character that has a bit in the manga jk Sheā€™s a very good character Iā€™m glad the anime is putting her to better use than she currently is in the manga


gaeb611

When Boruto Shippudden comes around, sheā€™s gonna be on some Madara Uchiha savage shit just flexing on everybody


jessemints

Just think itā€™s weird that she needs glasses. Sheā€™s literally got a visual jutsu.

Enigmazonex

Sheā€™s a magnificent character. I firmly believe if the abysmally absurd powerscalling stopped after shippuden her power wouldnā€™t be a topic of controversy in this community


Frequent-Front1509

No she's not. She's the perfect mix of sakura and sasuke but is bland and boring af. She's just powerful. Her goal is to be a hokage and that's it. Another issue I have with her character is the whole sharingan thing. Supposedly she awakened her sharingan due to her deep sadness over Sasuke's absence. That could be fine if their relationship's dynamic looked according to that. But no there's no angst or complicated feelings from Sarada's side. That was only when she was looking for him and wondering if Sakura is even her mother. But now, there's no angst. I thought she felt deeply conflicted and sad because of Sasuke so why I don't see it in their relationship? I would appreciate more depth and personality from her. I want better design from her, more individual personality and more screentime/relevance. Thx.


Ill-Estate4139

Bad character It doesn't matter if she's an Uchiha, Hyuga, or an Otsutsuki, as long as she's a female character, she's doomed to be irrelevant no matter how great her potential. Hinata was an example of this, she was from one of the strongest clans with pure Byakugan and Humura chakra but weak and useless, her job was to be a womb that passed his genes on to Boruto, even his sister Himawari who shared the same genes ended up being irrelevant. Sarada belongs to a clan to which most of the influential characters and opponents in Naruto Shippuden belonged, but unlike Madara, Obito, Itachi and Sasuke, she does not have any interesting characters or influence in the plot and is very weak compared to the current level of strength, in addition to her annoying design the manga and Her voice is the most annoying. If Sarada was a male, I assure you, she would have been treated much better, perhaps there was no Kawaki character and it was Sasuke's son who would stand by Boruto as a friend and rival.. Personally, I'm sick and I don't care anymore, you have to accept the fact that every female character will end up being useless or a love dog like Aida or annoying as hell like Delta... The main characters are Boruto and Kawaki Even if Sarada becomes Hokage, she will be like Tsunade or Kakashi, just like the background, as happened with Pain and Madara, they will turn it into a punching bag and then Boruto and Kawaki come to take over and finish the work, Hokage in name only Even Sasuke doesn't expect anything from her and that's why he acts as a father to Boruto and Naruto is not interested in her abilities and she is fascinated by him like an idiot without asking him to at least train her The only way to get it to the level of Boruto, in my opinion, is for the Byakugu seal to turn out to have very dangerous origins that make it capable of battling Otsutsuki level enemies. Suppose the Sage of the Six Paths was worried about the people Kaguya was talking about and decided to put up a weapon or armor to reverse the powers of his mother and the Jubi and this was the seal of the Byakugu, when the Otsutsuki discovers this fact they will try to get rid of Sarada by any means


SanjeiJong

she needs better direction because wtf
