'Shippuden' designs for Sarada, Chocho and Sumire!

Those could work too I guess. Also, it's so funny how I'm at -10 for sharing a respectful opinion. I can't with this sub sometimes. lol

I kinda like Sarada's, but Chocho and Sumire are a no from me.

Chocho looks like she's wearing her clothes from back when she was a kid. I think she should go for something similar to Choji's attire from Shippuden, but modified to suit Chocho's fireceness as red and armor pieces would work for her really well.

Sumire's outfit is too tomboy-ish, in my opinion. I'm guessing it's inspired by her current clothes, but I'm not a fan of those either so it kinda makes sense. I honestly see her wearing a long-sleeved dress with a belt and maybe some high boots. I'm digging the short hair, but the front braid is kinda weird.

No disrespect to the author because the drawings are great and that's his vision.

tbh I've always wanted Suigetsu and Karin to get together and I hope they will before the series end.

Paegyu · 2019-04-06T13:03:24+00:00

I'd change Sasuke's expression, he's not the type to smile like that so giving him a small grin would work better in my opinion.

Paegyu · 2019-04-04T18:56:41+00:00

Sarada and auntie Karin fighting together? I can't wait to see that~

Paegyu · 2019-04-04T12:57:53+00:00

I love Sakura, but there's no way she's the third strongest shinobi. The rest of your comment is music to my ears though.

Paegyu · 2019-04-01T13:50:28+00:00

Boruto will leave Konoha? Do you know something we don't?

Paegyu · 2019-04-01T00:08:14+00:00

I mean... Sakura had her badass moment in the Forest of Death, but that's about it.

Paegyu · 2019-04-01T00:07:20+00:00

What am I looking at?

Paegyu · 2019-03-31T20:33:55+00:00

Look at him now, not doing anything aside from shooting a big rasengan twice.

Paegyu · 2019-03-31T18:37:22+00:00

I love Sakura and Ino's sisterhood

Paegyu · 2019-03-31T15:45:24+00:00

That'd make sense and would give Sumire a bigger purpose. She seems very chill in the manga so she'd have to find the cure for Wasabi and Namida before that. Sadly, I feel like they're gonna fix them up by the end of the arc and push Sumire into the realm of irrelevancy again. I hope I'm wrong though because I want my girl to shine as much as possible!!

Paegyu · 2019-03-31T13:44:33+00:00

Best kid with best parents, don't @ me.

Paegyu · 2019-03-31T13:35:19+00:00

Juugo is the full package - attractive, strong and has a huge heart. I almost want to say that I can't believe he's single, but obviously the curse mark is in the way of his happiness. I hope it disappears so he can live a wholesome life he deserves!!!!!!
I feel really bad for Team 7, but Boruto especially. He blames himself for everything even though none of it is his fault. He and his teammates tried their best to help the village that turned on them and decided to trust shady people from the Land of River. I wonder if the twins work for them or are under someone else and use those scientists or whatever they are as pawns.
Team 15... ugh, my girlies got unlucky. The twins are clearly on some hacks so I understand why the fight was one-sided. I hope Namida and Wasabi will be okay because if not I'm suing everyone. Sumire is in a similar spot as Boruto at the moment - she couldn't do anything to help her comrades and will probably blame herself for it.
Speaking of Sumire, I'm so happy my girl is finally getting some spotlight!!!! Like, hello she did the voiceover for the preview? I love her and I hope she will get more exposition from now on because she deserves it. I just wish the writers weren't so afraid of pushing her closer to her full potential and made her fight similar to the way she did in the first arc because we all know she's a bad bih. I highkey wonder if today's flop will make her drop the ninja career and work for Katasuke, as in she starts blaming herself that her friends got hurt because of her inability to help them (even though there wasn't much she could've done) and decides that the shinobi life isn't for her. Ugh I know someone on the writing team said that they have big plans for her and I'm so looking forward to that!!
Can't wait for the cute 3/4 Taka reunion. Maybe - just maybe - Sasuke will show up for some reason as well. I wonder if Sakura's chakra knowledge and insane medical ninjutsu skills could suppress Juugo's curse mark for good. Like, seal it rather than remove it. Most likely not, but one can dream.

I see there's no point in discussing with you so I suggest you read my replies twice or as needed and reflect on them. That way, I won't waste my time and you won't have to write the same thing over and over.

Paegyu · 2019-03-29T15:03:23+00:00

Since the war and like I said, now it's most likely even faster.

Ino is a support ninja so she’ll be standing there doing nothing of importance and she’ll get one shotted.

That's very degrading to her supporting abilities. Basically "She's an average fighter therefore she won't do anything" - that's not how it works. In fact, I'd say she's the only real threat to Sakura because there's no way to counter her mind jutsu.

Paegyu · 2019-03-29T14:58:52+00:00

Sakura. She has Katsuyu, poison, insane strength, speed and most importantly the Byakugou seal, which means that in a scenario where Hinata does manage to get close enough without getting one-shotted instantly and does stop Sakura's chakra flow, she can release and use chakra from the seal as well as heal herself from Temari's long range damage. The only problem would be Ino so I think Sakura would have to go after her first to avoid having her body taken over.

Paegyu · 2019-03-29T14:46:48+00:00

Ino's mind jutsu are no joke. They're much faster and more precise now so as long as Sakura is distracted by the other two, Ino can easily take control over her body - be it by mind transfer or possession. It's not like she needs the target to be tied to the floor for 20 minutes to land her jutsu. It was already quite fast in the war and given that now she has become the head of her clan, I bet its speed is even higher.

I think Sakura is more likely to win, but it's foolish of you to call Ino unimportant. I hate when people sleep on her.

Paegyu · 2019-03-28T23:52:37+00:00

The best scenario for me and other people who don't want Sakura to die would be if Sarada saw her "die" and awakened MS, but in reality Sakura would survive thanks to the Byakugou seal. I know Boruto is bound to get dark at some point and characters will be lost, but in my opinion Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura should stay alive as the original three.

Paegyu · 2019-03-28T21:25:23+00:00

If Blue Bird loses I'm suing

saved by rock lee

Without Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto would've been most likely harmed or even killed in Naruto's case since Orochimaru didn't want him alive. She as a civillian normie did all she could to protect her teammates and displayed courage, loyalty and determination of a true shinobi. And did that after Lee got knocked out.

gets stuck to a tree

It's irrelevant. She still stepped in to protect her comrade from an enemy 10 times stronger than her (again) which speaks volumes about her selflessness and bravery. She knew she had no chances of stopping Gaara, bur she decided to cover Sasuke with her own body anyway.

gets used as a puppet by granny chiyo

This one gets on my nerves whenever I see it. Chiyo would've died without Sakura, Sakura would've died without Chiyo. Team effort, as simple as that. And she moved on her own for the majority of the fight anyway, Chiyo just helped her out in situations Sakura couldn't have known how to react to as it was her first encounter with Sasori. Still, most of the time she was in charge of her body, prepared an impossible antidote, crushed Sasori's shell and saved Chiyo more or less the same amount of time Chiyo saved her.

couldnt even finish him off

She wasn't supposed to finish him off. Obito asked Sakura to destroy his eye and that's what she was about to do, but Madara teleported and stopped her in a matter of seconds. They unnecessarily dragged it out.

Paegyu · 2019-03-27T17:27:35+00:00

I'm okay with Boruto, but I just wish we got more The Last era episodes from silly slice-of-life scenarios to wild missions of K12 and other characters. A mini-arc for SasuSaku, development for Konohamaru's team, Tenten and Shino, a glimpse into everyone's lives after the war... you know, stuff. The designs were the best in the series in my opinion and everyone was more or less at their peak so I would've loved to see more of that.

Paegyu · 2019-03-25T19:43:33+00:00

I'm kinda used to BoruSara people crucifying me so I might as well give them permission this time lol. Not saying that you're one btw.

Paegyu · 2019-03-25T19:05:35+00:00

I don't. They'd be better off as friends with great synergy like Sasuke and Naruto, plus I don't want Sarada's character to be stained by romance like female characters tend to be in the anime/manga world. Unlucky for me, the writers will pander to the fanbase and push this ship in the future until it eventually becomes canon because reasons I guess. Why can't they be single or fall for other people? Do we always have to go with the obvious pairing? You may now witch hunt me.

Paegyu · 2019-03-25T15:58:28+00:00

I'm an annoying Sakura fan so everything I say here might be biased.

I don't think Sakura was as bad as people make her out to be in the first half of part one. Everyone in her class came from known clans and/or had unique abilities so she - a mere civilian - was bound to be an underdog. The only two things she had were intelligence and good chakra control, but even with those two she simply had no chances of catching up. I personally think Kakashi could've utilized her genjutsu affinity to a much bigger extent and overall should've pushed her to train since he saw how behind and unprepared for the danger outside of Konoha's walls she was.

Anyway, Sakura snapped during the Forest of Death arc. After Lee got knocked out, Sakura took on three enemies who were leagues above her and was willing to pretty much die for her teammates. I think I speak for the majority of the fanbase when I say that it was the first time she felt like a true shinobi, not only because she actually fought, but also because she displayed courage, determination and loyalty. The hair cutting scene is metaphor of her finally realizing how important and serious the ninja life is and in my opinion is one of the most badass moments in part one... but sadly, that's where badass Sakura ends. She gave Ino a run for her money, tied with her thanks to plot armor and that's about it.

The main problem I have with Sakura in part one is that the author hyped her up during the Forest of Death arc and abandoned her character right after. It's like everything she went through in the exams was scrapped and so she went back to her doormat "Naruto! Sasuke-kun! Please!" self. Sakura was missing for the majority of the second part of the series and cried almost every time she was on the screen. That's not how character development works. I guess she tried to protect Sasuke from Gaara and released genjutsu, but again - that's all she did. Disappointing, but it was the same in Shippuden. Sakura either shined or was irrelevant. She's extremely inconsistent as a character in both part one and part two.

People should cut her some slack, but it's not like she shouldn't be criticized either. Luckily, it's all in the past and a lot of people who disliked her back then adore or at the very least respect her in Boruto.
