Sakura stans reasoning that since her family's background of simple civilians as a reason for her being poor at fights is bollocks. I'm saying this since one of the three unifiers of Japan came from a family of poor farmers and yet, he defied the odds and became a powerful warlord himself. I'm talking about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who started as a sandal bearer to Oda Nobunaga, another fellow unifier. Thru his own skill and some luck, he became one of Nobunaga's trusted generals. He didn't let his peasant background stop him from being one of the unifiers. Then, her stans are telling us that her family's background is a disadvantage to her being a kunoichi, just again, bollocks. They make her look bad and the biggest irony of all, they also claim she is the strongest kunoichi, which is again, bollocks. She got a bit better than her sensei Tsunade on using the techniques the latter created. It's not similar to how Naruto and Sasuke managed to improve or create their own techniques based on the things they learned from Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Anyways, her stans will still use this as they don't know where their princess stands on. Plus, they are so demanding of Japanese toy makers to create and/or rerelease some of figures, some even went on attacking Megahouse for creating many Hinata figures. Unfortunately for them, Megahouse only listens to the market and from what we all saw, Hinata's figures sell. I'm not a big fan of Hinata but I bought her wedding figure. Not regretting it ever since.
P.S. - On the Bleach side of things, many people who read the manga changed their opinion on Orihime and saw how her treatment in the early Bleach anime from the hands of Studio Pierrot and Noriyuki Abe is the main reason for the unreasonable hate she received from some fans. They now understand why Kubo disowned the early anime, particularly the first two arcs and with the release of TYBW, where Kubo is supervising it plus having a new set of animators and a director who knows how to respect mangakas, it really revived the interest
I’m actually jealous you got Hinata’s wedding figure. I’m waaaay behind on them 😩
And yes there are many examples both in real life and in Naruto of how what type of background you come from doesn’t matter, I shouldn’t have to name all of the black ancestors that have proven this and they were in much worse conditions than Sakura. And like you said she is basically hanging off the coat tails of her teammates who just so happen to be the title character and main rival.
I promise you if Sakura wasn’t part of Team 7 she would’ve went away like Toriyama did to Launch.
You’re correct about the Bleach thing too. I actually look forward to the many figures and merch Orihime will have when she gains popularity at the last battle when she backs up Ichigo.
