What does Twilight have to do with Hinata's character? [QUOTE]Sakura's growth over the time skip easily out shines Hinata, who has shown exactly one new move guys.
Sakura has had one moment in the spotlight and thats in the rescue gaara arc, she hasn't out shined anyone.
Ain't that awesome? And who wants a character with flaws, that you can relate to? I just want all sorts of goodness in the world.
At least Hinata doesn't bring nothing but pain and suffering to the main protagonist and overcompensates her uselessness by being a medic ninja.
Being tied to Sasuke and Naruto is still better than being tied only to Naruto.
O rly, your the one that said chicks with no individual goals or motivations are crap but they are a dime a dixen in this manga.
Sakura became strong so she could help Naruto save her friend.
Yeah it's not like she could improve herself just so she can make a difference in the world like a certain Hyuuga right? But she just improved for one boy and how she feels for him.
She chose to do this and she came a long way. She has forged relationships with the likes of Tsunade and Chiyo, building on top of bonds with Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi.
Of course she formed new bonds more than Hinata, she's a main character. Hinata unforunately doesn't have a proper buld up like Sakura due to her being one of the side characters and a basically a mystery outside her clan and feelings for Naruto. But her progress is decent enough, because we don't even see Shikamaru bond more with Ino or Chouji compared to Asuma. You're saying Hinata should have more relevance as a character astonishes me, you sure you hate her?
Hinata can not say the same because the only time she is seen, it involves Naruto. Until she does something that is worth the words capable, don't bother using the words.
Naruto is the main lead, everything is invovled to him. But just because thats her only character point as a side character doesn't mean it makes her irrelevant and useless. It actually expands her character above most other characters because her only thing that seperates herself from the rookies is her feelings for Naruto and how he helps her progress.
She is boring because she does nothing.
She saved the main character from being captured and even before than is an execellent tracker and spotted the Uchiha hideout with her Byakugan before anyone else did so. Sure she's not a healer and medic nin thus expanding Sakura's usefulness, but no one has that sort of plot relevance to Team 7.
She always talks about Naruto and how he changed her and how he saved her and how she loves him and I hate that. It's annoying as shit.
You never had a role model in life did you? You want to calll Luffy annoying for Shanks inspiring and leading him to e a great pirate or Spiderman being inspired by Captain Amaerica and Ben Parker for being the person he is today. Some people have a person that drives them and helps shape their confidence and insecurites so that they can motivate themselves to meet that standard. Even the main character had a role model and that was freaking Sasuke, and Sasuke's role moder was Itachi it doesn't stop from their, Madara role model was the guy who handed him his ass, Shodai. Overall Hinata's a character who build herself from the ground up thanks to a boy she likes and how his struggle and his personality helped change that. I repsect people who owe themselves to others.
Fan boys get boners because Hinata has breasts. Big deal. That's boring.
So loud and irrational chicks are your thing huh, must be a machoist.
Sakura again, has had normal conversations with characters like Chiyo and Sai.
In the end she never really learned anything from their experiences or characters, like I said she's stuck on Sasuke. She's all talk and no action.
Hinata might get to talk to her team once in a while, but other than that, they have no real bond.
Your confusing lack of screen time to lack of real bond.
Yes, I have not read the manga. Even though I stated how amazing and great that one particular scene was. Her jumping in front of Pain doesn't show she can take care of herself....at all.
Yeah, she did take care of herself. She did soemthing that all the others wouldn't do because they were to caught up in the aftermath of Pains attack plus she saw the fight with her Byakugan and saw Naruto fall. Now she made a difference and saved Naruto. Sakura didn't have the benefit or the timing to stop 4 tails because she yet again didn't know her limits, plus Yamato told her not to interfere because he can surpress his chakra, she did so anyway(cuz she's fickle like that). Hinata's actions were vital or else Naruto would have been captured and killed.
Lee & Neji became strong after hardships that would make little Hinata kill herself she's so frail.
Lee and Negi didn't live under a strict and imposing father than forsaked her life for her younger sister and made her train vigorously to death to hone a clan head even though she his own daughter and flesh and blood. The pressure must of caused her to be self conscious and extremely timid. I relate to her.
So her Daddy didn't like her? Whoop dee doo. Sasuke's didn't like him either, so can I say he is an awesome character for working hard and mastering the fireball? No I can't.
Sasuke is a genius in the making, he was trying to impress his brother more than his father. Sasuke doesn't have that problem because he is supposed to be a tragic character with a shitload of talent. Hinata's character is supposed to be one of hardship but inspiration and growth. She had problems, she had trials and still she overcame her hurdles and became a fine kunoichi because like Naruto she was a loser and a failure but still worked hard and strengthed her resolve.
There's only so much hardworking characters can get out of me before I say I don't care anymore. Hinata is nothing more than a character bound to Naruto who "grows" because of him.
It comes down to which case seems more enderaing to the fan really. It's based on opinions just like the majority of your arguement. Hinata to me represents true strength of mind and body despite what her initial flaws are. She's shy and soft spoken and still has more heart and soul than any other female character I've seen in this manga, because every other chick is to confident and well aware but not unpredictible and relatable enough IMO. No one saw it coming when she came to Naruto's rescue and at least buy Naruto time to get the Kyuubi out.
Even Sakura had a better reason to grow than him. Speaking of the Chunin exams, Sakura overcame mind control if I'm right. Though Ino was low on chakra. That's still more impressive than "Naruto-kun, I'll be strong." *Slap*
Wow, you base Sakura's PIS victory on Hinata's beliefs and confidence. Sakura had nothing to be better, because she was fixated on Sasuke didn't care a squat for anything but Sasuke, she only wanted to improve herself because she wants to be their for her emo boyfriend.
Talk about shallow. Hinata not even entirely Naruto focused, she cares about Neji as a person and aspires to rival him. And just because it's not elaborated on, doesn't mean she doesn't hold her team mates over Naruto, she views them just as precious to her.
Sakura saved more lives during the Pain invasion that Hinata.
The quality outweights the quantity. Of course, it was Naruto and Tsunade who saved the village overall.
She took down one of the Summons with a nice punch and went to the hospital to help medics.
So? Konoharumaru one shoted Hell Pain, you're bias for Hinata has no bounds. Any sane and proper person would view the entire Pain arc as a cesspool of character fanservice that help contribute their part to the invasion. But you single out Hinata as this burden on Naruto and the manga because LOL your blind to your hate.
That's still more than Hinata, who did one thing, however helpful to the plot it may have been. Hinata would have been paralyzed in front of Kyuubi form Naruto.
The author had made the girl save the main character from certain doom, thats all that I need to accept. At least she didn't scream out for the main character ala Princess Peach
Really though, it doesn't matter. Sakura still does things, Hinata does not.
LOL Sakura holds everyone down and ruins characters, Hinata does not.
Sasori being the plot made me lol. All the villains have to die eventually so I may as well call PIS on them too.
The fact she made an antidote of screen that surpass all the suna medic nins and even Chiyo so they could fight Sasori's iron sand hax is PIS of the highest order. In fact, without Chiyo, Sakura would have died the first attack by Sasori and even then Sakura really did nothing significant she was controled by Chiyo 80% of the fight.
In fact the only reason Neji beat Hinata was PIS, amirite? Sakura had help with Sasori. A lot of help. But she contributed just as much to his defeat.
LOL yeah, Sasori didn't even go all out and take the fight seriously, add to the fact Chiyo was fighting, Sakura was the decoy/puppet and Sasori was made to kill himself via emo flashback. Disappointing, evne after all that Sakura is still weaker than all that when she got kicked by Omoi and owned by Kyuubi.
