Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto became really popular soon after they started. A good shonen anime usually shows its greatness from the first episode, and both of these series did that.
Even though they have different stories and characters, Naruto is often compared to Jujutsu Kaisen because they have similar ideas.
Now, fans are arguing again about which is better, Jujutsu Kaisen or Naruto, and they’re especially talking about Nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen and Sakura from Naruto.

Nobara is What Sakura Was Supposed To Be
Nobara Kugisaki was a bit arrogant at the beginning of Jujutsu Kaisen, especially after Yuji helped her out of a tough situation. Over time, her personality shines, and she becomes more likable.
On the other hand, Sakura has a rough start in Naruto, mainly due to her insensitivity to Naruto and freezing up during crucial moments. It takes some time for her character to change. It’s important to note that Sakura starts as a child, so comparing her beginning to Nobara’s isn’t fair.
However, a video on YouTube, posted by Ohara two years ago, is titled “Kugisaki Nobara Is What Sakura Was Supposed To Be.” The video compares Nobara and Sakura in their respective shows and states that Nobara is better than Sakura.

And, as the video stated, Nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen is better than Sakura, fans agreed with it. However, there are others who believe that Sakura is unfairly overhated in the anime for no reason.
Nobara is “Badass” Female Character in Jujutsu Kaisen
Nobara embodies both femininity and strength better than Sakura. Unlike Sakura, she actively participates instead of just watching others in tough situations. She doesn’t compromise her femininity to be strong, and she doesn’t follow clichés by being overly feminine to be seen as strong.
Nobara’s character strikes a realistic balance between both qualities, reflecting how real women can be in comparison to Sakura. Additionally, Nobara’s fighting style with a doll and a hammer, which is a unique way of fighting, is cooler than Sakura’s who use to summon Naruto while in trouble.
Nobara low key grew on me more and more as the show progressed, her technique was hella unique too which made her fighting style quite interesting

He lowkey right though. Sakura is overhated for sure but Nobara is done way better even if it was short lived. Plus her fights are way cooler. Sakura only fun fight was carried by a senior citizen

One fan thinks Nobara did well in Jujutsu Kaisen, even better than Sakura in Naruto. However, they also say Sakura is unfairly disliked. This reflects that the preference between characters may depend on what you enjoy in a story and the qualities you like in a character.
