About Sakura

So based from what I’ve seen in this show so far. Sakura seems to embody this idea of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (SFP). It’s an idea in both sociology and criminology which suggests that if a person is being labelled with names based on their looks/appearance or any beliefs that a person may have against you, then this may influence a person to supposedly live up to those beliefs that people had of them in the first place.

In the first episode straight away we see Sakura is struggling to keep a hold of his own identity and who he is, as seen with him walking on a tightrope trying to make it on the other side. But he’s being clouded with all these thoughts of being seen as a ‘monster’ or ‘weird’ or even ‘gross’ just because of his hair and eyes. Eventually he breaks and decides to say “fine, that’s who I am, and I’m going to live this way”.
Even during the episode when in Bofurin, he acts hostile to others out of his perception that he is indeed a ‘bad person’ or a ‘monster’, so he should be seen and accepted as such right? But this town says “screw that” and literally welcome’s people like him with open arms. It’s the idea that this kind of place exists isn’t normal to Sakura because in the past he was always being accused and seen as a bad person, and that’s just how delinquents like him are supposed to be seen, as big bad intimidating figures who disrupt the peace not preserve it; my man can’t even take compliments that’s how much he’s been through mentally with the hate/assumptions.

All in all, I think this really does highlight an issue that many people like Sakura go through. Especially in today’s day and age with society making people feel unwanted and like outcasts, hence my proposal on SFP.
(I may be wrong and you don’t have to base this on what I say. I’m just applying something I’ve learnt here because it really stuck with me when I saw how Sakura was acting with other characters and such; I may not be right too on what SFP fully means but I just wanted to put my word out).

Overall I really like this series and I can’t wait to see more come from it!
