I think the main issue with the female cast, and especially Sakura, is not really what they got to do, but what they had the POTENTIAL to do. Characters like Kushina and Tsunade served their roles in the story well enough. While we don't know how high level of a ninja Kushina was, she was at least strong enough to have a nickname like other big name ninja and she had a varied enough moveset. Tsunade did suffer from being the weakest among the Sannin, which was an unfortunate prevalent theme in the trio groups. The healer tended to be the weakest among them and Tsunade was a two-trick pony with only strength and healing to her name. Kushina was at least good at sealing and had the Uzumaki Chains. Kishimoto just never let a female character really shine for most of the series. And look, I'm not some radical Twitter user that demands women get moments to shine, but there are moments where it makes SENSE for a female character to shine and she just... doesn't. For example, when Sakura says that she feels she has "caught up" to Naruto and Sasuke in the war arc, the fanbase collectively scoffed at the notion. It was an un-earned moment. Sakura really had no reason to feel that and the fanbase didn't believe it either. But that moment, if properly built up to, would have been a big character moment for Sakura and fans of the character, but it just didn't go that way. If she had kept that feeling of inadequacy in comparison to Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke, and then finally got a big fight win, THEN that could have happened. Just imagine this: Naruto and Sasuke are fighting with all their might but are hardly making any headway, and then eventually Naruto, and even Sasuke with some reservation, ASK Sakura for her help and working together they demolish their opponent. That would exemplify her importance in the group and that it isn't just about having the Sharingan or Demonic Beast power, but TEAMWORK which is what Kakashi preached since part 1. I think something Kishimoto really struggled with was payoff to many character arcs. Kakashi got his, Naruto did, and Sasuke too. Many of the other female cast got reduced to housewives and irrelevance. Hinata being a prime example of that. And I get it, people are going to settle down, but what do we know about Hinata besides the fact that she dislike the Branch Family Seal and likes Naruto? Like honestly, WHAT do we know? Yeah, exactly. Hinata is another character that people wank in terms of writing. And I don't hate the character, but again, she was just "Naruto-kun" for 95% of the series. She got some development during the Chunin exams and then it just straight disappeared. Don't even get me started on her horrid "romance" with Naruto that was one-sided until Kishimoto just retconned Naruto's feelings. Naruto was neglected, but not emotionally retarded. He had issues, but he could appreciate someone's affections. Moreover, to harp on the point of payoff, Hinata's moment of bravery against Pain SHOULD have been a bigger moment. We should have seen her slowly build up her courage to tell Naruto how she felt, or her gaining more self-confidence in herself in a fight. Then, when she fights Pain, there could have been payoff for said development. But all we see is her acting the EXACT same as she did pre-time skip and suddenly gaining this surge of confidence to face down a greater than Hokage-level threat? Get real. I'll stop the rant here lol.
The real problem is that there is not enough space to focus on all these characters Naruto has 700 chapters which is not enough to fix This problem you have to aid more arc to the story and that the problem because kishimoto can't do anything about it because he doesn't have freedom to aid more arc to the story the editor has more power than him original kishimoto wanted to have more arc before the chunin exam like visiting each other village introduce each other team but they forced him to cut down the female characters are great they just need more screen time and kishimoto can write a female characters he give sakura her best arc and fight the problem is that she needs more screen time she was supposed to end up with Naruto sakura has more screen time with Naruto and moment than hinata hinata barely exists in the manga the only reason she ended with Naruto because she was popular character because of fillers because love her so much that they made her a movie while they hate sakura so much that they cut a lot of her dielog and moments in the manga and the last movie kishimoto wasn't involved with it was the studio dygo made a video about why Naruto should be a longer go watch it
I love how you're talking about Hinata's clever moves during pain fight while showing manga panels where none of it happened... whole fight is anime canon other one panel as well with Temari throwing Madara away... but not bad video.. also love moment when Sakura jumped over Sasuke against Gaara and same with Chiyo against Sasori.
Top three for me is probably kushina Tsunade temari. Very fleshed out female characters overall that had a ton of development even if one like kushina was only in flashback. Personal favorites ajisai as she did more than konan in Akatsuki somehow. Hinata who had a good start but never did much after pain because Naruto forgot. Sakura wise. I think I like her in Boruto most due to having it all. She's strong. Got Sasuke has a child while getting some scenes fleshing out their romance. Sasori fight sakura is peak sakura in terms of a fight. Though she was great in chunnin exams and feel underated for stopping Sasuke from going more wild since he was asking who hurt her. Ones I wish did more. Shizune as shes gifted. Konan who definitely should have gotten more fights before Obito and jiraya. Rin to show how Obito truly became the way he did as she was just there for the most part
On the sakura part. I've softened on her with comparing with later shounen females and she's a lot better than most of them. I'm not gonna say which series but sakura at least has a use with healing compared to most of the main girls Only girl I'll say is better is Noelle from black clover but her problem is her recycling plot line of having no confidence to having all of it as a beast fighter. I get she's young but at a certain point you are one of the most op in the verse so those remarks should roll off. Back to sakura Though she honestly should have been on the Tsunade arc to learn healing sooner and start that student sensei relationship earlier. Part one she did do some good things like has the best learning feats. Saving Naruto from a sneak attack. Protecting Naruto and Sasuke in the Forrest even though she knew she had no chance against the sound ninja. The scene with Sasuke before he leaves is very tragic as Shippuden her healing and power were great. But she honestly should have gotten more fight scenes between sasori and the war to let her grow into that character. Especially when Naruto was training rasenshurakin she should have started gaining more jutsu for that. War arc honestly she should have been the one to fight and beat some part 1 foes showing she has truly grown. Zabuza and haku were a perfect opportunity. Boruto she won. Most anime girls would wish to get in that situation getting the guy. Married a child and still being strong. Basically to end. Sakura lovers haters or in betweeners. It could have been worse so give her a second chance by rereading the story.
@@TheLightningBlade yeah I get she wants to stay with Sasuke when Naruto goes but she could have used the time to learn a few new tricks to set up Shippuden better. The anime filler we see her skills healing Naruto showing she's dry talented.
Absolutely not. Tsuna is the superior ninja. Her ranking is appropriate. She’s the #1. Shawty pulled up to tussle with Infinite Madara. She’s a jaded, old, war veteran. Yet, my girl still pulled up. Front lines. Her feats were insane for someone who’s been out of the game for over a decade. Also she still pulled up after going through a coma that was meant to kill her. Y’all, please stop playing with Lady Tsuna. She’s casually flexing IMMORTALITY. Yet we ignore that part about her😅. Tsunade is like a roach. You cannot get rid of her. Shawty was cut in half and still said “who needs healing👀?”. Literally healing all of the Kage while “dying”😂. Ain’t gotta like her but she’s still #1. It’s time to accept it. That’s the first step ☺️
@9:00 yes because there was no hatred behind the time he kocked her out or the chidori he put through her chest in front of the team Edit: i mean @ 8:45
This list aside from tamari was a list of “scraps” to me. I think time should have been taken to highlight Naruto’s glaring problem of their female characters. Hinata and Sakura and not well written characters AT ALL in my opinion. The well written ones like tamari and Anko get no screen time.. the the one well written character that does get ample screen time, tsunade, still feels neglected when compared to her peers the sannin. Most all the female characters get shafted unless they have a love connection to a male character. Their power scaling is always the weakest. Even if they are on a higher tier such as tsunade and mei, they are still the weakest on their tier. My list would have been Tayuya, chiyo, temari, and tsunade… there’s really no fifth choice…
Sakura vs Hinata.. Who Wins??
Sakura no diff
Sakura, not even a question
Sakura
Hinata.. if she has long range air palm she can possibly shut down Sakuras chakra network from a distance
Sakura punches the ground and hinata gets sent into orbit

Chiyo and Tsunade were the best female characters in the show.
💯
Chiyo and Konan imo.
I can think of two big reasons to put Tsunade at 1
I love how you're talking about Hinata's clever moves during pain fight while showing manga panels where none of it happened... whole fight is anime canon other one panel as well with Temari throwing Madara away... but not bad video.. also love moment when Sakura jumped over Sasuke against Gaara and same with Chiyo against Sasori.

Good pics 😎
Hinata is definitely not worthy of # 2 😭😭😭😭
She is atleast with the anime extra scenes
On the sakura part. I've softened on her with comparing with later shounen females and she's a lot better than most of them. I'm not gonna say which series but sakura at least has a use with healing compared to most of the main girls
Only girl I'll say is better is Noelle from black clover but her problem is her recycling plot line of having no confidence to having all of it as a beast fighter. I get she's young but at a certain point you are one of the most op in the verse so those remarks should roll off.

Basically to end. Sakura lovers haters or in betweeners. It could have been worse so give her a second chance by rereading the story.
For sure! I think she could have been written into the story better not better written as a character necessarily
@@TheLightningBlade yeah I get she wants to stay with Sasuke when Naruto goes but she could have used the time to learn a few new tricks to set up Shippuden better. The anime filler we see her skills healing Naruto showing she's dry talented.
1)Tsunade
2)Konan
3)Chiyo
4)Sakura/Hinata
5)Kushina
for me
Anko and Ino are my favorite females. They are so underrated.
You left out Haku.
Indeed I did 😂😂
😅😅😅.
"she" is dude)
He is a boy😑
Konan is Best Girl!!!
Chiyo,Tsunade,Guren,Konan,Temari. Yea, a filler character is better written than most canon ones.
Can yall do
stich(lilo and stitch) vs naruto/bijuu
Powerpuff girls vs naruto/bijuu
11:33 I died laughing 😂 😂
😂😂
Since you did wolverine vs the akatsuki last vid, i would like to see you do godzilla vs the akatsuki
Honestly.. that be really interesting!
Godzilla is more of a match for the full ninetails and even then has better durability feats.
Sadly most of them are poorly written. Kishimoto really dropped the ball.
It is up to opinion but I think for they could be they’re decently written
I think an interesting topic is how strong the naruto movie villains are and how they would do against the Akatsuki
Oooh not a bad one!!
Didn’t Menma stalemate the entire mirror Akatsuki for a while? He’s pretty cracked
@@lynnusuk2092 well many say who loses to pain or itachi but idk
Depends on what version of part one Hinata wins mid Shippuden it pretty tied
Kushina deserves first place in the rank

I'd put Chiyo or Tsunade in that spot.
Another video?!? Let’s go!
You know it! Trying to to keep on the game 😎
goatnade
Sakura smashes hinata with a single punch. You've got to be kidding me for placing hinata higher than sakura and temari. 😂❤
This ain’t about skill bud lol it’s about character lol 😂😂

Well that’s.. technically true 😅
