About Sakura Haruno's durability wording

[Monkey_Dunno]

So, according to the durability section of her profile:

At least Mountain level+ (Took hits from Shin Uchiha. Tanked a Bijū Bomb from a Version 2 Bijū Cloak Anbu Captain)

Now, I understand that tanking has a lot of interpretations beyond being unharmed by an attack, but this wording would easily make someone who hasn’t read the novel believe that Sakura just took the Bijūdama, with the amount of damage received by it being determined by the reader's interpretation of tank; either as being moderately harmed or just shrugging off the blow.

Problem is, she didn’t even took the blow.

"This is bad!" Leaping backward to one side, she crossed her arms in front of her face. "A Biju Bomb?!"

Immediately after she had this thought, a lump of chakra was launched from Kido's mouth.

The spherical lump had likely been compressed within his body, but the moment it left his mouth, it swelled up to a diameter of a meter or so, and headed straight for Sakura.

She managed to evade a direct hit, but it still glanced across half of her body. And from that alone, the impact was tremendous.

The force of the tails paled in comparison with this chakra blow, and Sakura went flying into the woods, smashing through several thick branches before slamming into an enormous rock and coming to a stop.

Sliding down onto the ground, she couldn't stand again right away. Just breathing sent a fierce pain racing through her body. She checked that her limbs would move properly as she finally stood back up

The novel states that Sakura evaded the direct hit, but half of her body was glanced and that alone was so powerful that the tails that where previously impaling her pale in comparison. And it's worth to point out that Kido stated that he would try not to kill her if possible.

And that's why I think the durability section should be reworded or just removed.

Eh...

Still an impressive feat. Actually, iirc every single Bijuu bomb is rated quite a bit above Sakura's current durability.

So as it stands, we're not even suggesting Sakura could tank a FP Bijuu Bomb head on.

I agree with Manzi so far.

Uh… yeah, because those Bijuudama are from the actual Bijuu. Sakura fought a jinchūriki. So that doesn’t really relate to the premise of the thread at all.

This isn’t about the feat being impressive or not. It's that wording is up to misinterpretations.

Saying that someone tanked a Bijū Bomb it's not gonna be seen as dodging the main impact but being glanced over and ending up injured from it.

 

[PrinceofPein]

It needs to be reworded but yeah the fact that it hit half her body and she stood up afterwards is impressive

This is a Jinchuriki Version 2 cloak like the ones Naruto and Bee have, even those bijuudama from Jinchuriki are all High 7-A and above.

 

[Ragazz]

well, half of her body still tanked it. so its not really any less impressive, unless you're implying that one side of her body is tougher than the other.

Monk is implying that the wording needs to be changed. Not that it wasn't valid or impressive

 

[YungManzi]

Ok, what do you guys propose the justification be changed to?

 

[ZoroNotZolo]

Maybe something like "Stronger than her War Arc self, took part of the yield of a Version 2 Jinchuriki's Bijuudama and got back up afterwards with relative ease"

still kinda cap that Sakura doesn't scale to MKCM Naruto and EMS Sasuke

Agreed.
