@Jiton About Sakura: you, pal, just said everything that went through me ol' thick head about Sakura's opinion on Sasuke. You see, I'm a guy who has been pondering long and hard about such things. I see all the conflict in the world, and how people keep on fighting each other. In this specific instance, I see women who are beaten, mutilated, and even killed simply because they know how to spell the word "it". I'd hate to make such a controversial analogy, but it's so true. Sakura was tormented by Sasuke for four years, yet she doesn't do anything. From my viewpoint, that's setting a bad example for the millions of women around the world who are being abused daily. If Sakura were to break free from this, I'd see her as the anime version of Malala Yousafzai - like, for real.

For the prophecy thing, I don't mind that. For one, there WAS a prophecy. And two, the prophecy had implications that Naruto actually wanted. Whenever characters try to break free of a fate, it's often something bad like their personal death. Had he gone against that "fate", he'd become just like Obito. As for Dragon Ball, I was referring to how unrealistic it is in literally every circumstance, particularly death. I suggest you watch the first Shippuden movie in order to get a further grasp on this.
