Boruto |OT| Naruto Next ERA
- Thread starter Desmond
- Start date
Unless something later on contradicts this philosophy, I'm going with "Anything that happened in the anime that was also in the Ukyō Kodachi novels is canon. Anything that didn't is decide for yourself if you want it to be canon or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
I wish Sarada came along the journey with Boruto and adult Sasuke.
Also I would've enjoyed seeing Sarada talk to kid Sasuke:
Also I still wish that Kishi hadn't forgotten to give Boruto the Byakugan. He looks way better with it:

With Sarada this is taking place around the time Sasuke left and I don't think they want her to know about all that stuff, at least not yet. Boruto has already been asking questions based on a photograph.I wish Sarada came along the journey with Boruto and adult Sasuke.

With the sole exception being Jiraiya, every single Naruto character has a clone character in Boruto which makes it extremely hard to feel nostalgic about them. I don't miss Shikamaru when Shikadai exists, I'm not eager to see Rock Lee again while we have Metal etc.
Every single episode we are gonna get reminded how much they fucked up with the second generation characters.

Manga chapter is out.
lol at Team 7 + Kawaki deliberately ignoring Shikamaru's orders. It's interesting that Boruto and Kawaki will eventually become Okutsukis themselves. The shot of Boruto there with the Hyuga/Okutsuki eyes makes him look A LOT like Hinata.
Of course, now I'm wondering how they'll beat Boro if he's even worse than Jigen. They likely don't stand a chance, even with all of the crazy powers they have at their disposal.
Also oof at the scene of Sarada wishing Naruto was her father. That hurt emotionally. Sasuke's absence in her life continues to impact her in ways that few kids her age should feel.

Well, that's only really true for Shikadai-Shikamaru, Boruto-Naruto and Metal Lee-Rock Lee.
Inojin, Chocho and Sarada aren't copies of their parents.
Neither are Mirai nor Himawari.
And in Metal's case, it 's kind of expected given he doesn't appear to have a mother at the moment, lol.
Yes, I forgot about them.
Them too.
I wonder if this series would be better received if Himawari and Boruto switched roles.
I guess Sarada would be turned male though if that were to happen though.
Clearly, if they ever do a proper timeskip, Shueisha needs to give Himawari her own manga/novel series. >.>
Also, real talk: The art in the newest chapter is REALLY GOOD. Boruto's design is spot on. Ikemoto actually draws adult Shikimaru better than the anime or Kishimoto does. Sarada actually looks like Sarada in most shots now, as does Mitsuki. And the background art is just downright gorgeous to boot.
Ikemoto's upped his game, and the results show. If this is the kind of quality we can expect going forward, we're in for a real treat.

So when does this take place? Tsunade said Sasuke deserted the village the day before but that doesn't really make sense. Everyone is acting like it's your average day and I thought they immediately chased after Sasuke when he left.
I assume it's after Naruto returned from the mission and before Naruto went off to train with Jiraiya.
What I've heard is that it's a bit of a mis-translation. This arc most likely occurs in the short gap between the first Valley of the End fight and Naruto heading out with Jiraiya.
He's really not. He's in the same boat as Himawari, where he's a good mix of both parents, and thus kind of his own thing. Though it can be hard to tell given that he primarily fights with the Super Beast Scroll and all.
Boruto has different hang ups and everything comes easy to him unlike Naruto. But the base personality is still too similarish though.
Loud, obnoxious, attention-seeking kid that's really into a particular type of food.
A different color scheme would've helped a lot tbh. He should've had black hair like Himawari or the Byakugan at least.
That's just a difference of degree though.
It's like comparing apples. Apple 1 isn't as sweet as Apple 2 but they're still both apples.
I don't think Boruto is particularly obnoxious or loud, though.
Boruto's not particularly loud compared to how Naruto was, but he does have a lot of the same obnoxious traits. It's even acknowledged in series, both anime and manga. He's more like a milder version of Naruto tempered by Hinata's traits than anything.
That being said, he pretty much goes full dere/Hinata at times.

Of course Boruto shares some similar traits, but I wouldn't call him a clone in the same way as I would for someone like Shikadai, who is literally the exact same character as his father lol. Right down to looks, personality, and fighting style. If he didn't bust out wind jutsu like one or two times I would have thought Orochimaru actually did clone Shikamaru.
Obviously, but most people share personality traits from their parents, so it's to be expected.
He's the only acceptable clone because more of Shikamaru, the best character, is never a bad thing
chp 39
lol at making Shikamaru a total hard-headed block-head here., Im still lol at all of Boruto's lines to him.
Kawaki is great, love that this is becoming something about him more so than everyone else.
Hope we see Jigen get backstabbed by another member of Kara

Yeah I feel like Inojin has a very different personality from his father. He does have the same Justus has Sai but they have a different flavor to them at least. If he uses the Mind Transfer type stuff more, it'd be really cool.
It does annoy me that they made him a Chuunin in the same damn way Shikamaru made Chuunin.
Honestly they should have differentiate by giving it to Sarada.
Yeah, Sarada got robbed. She CLEARLY demonstrates the qualities needed to be a chunin.
(Both of them should have been promoted, IMO.)
Thank you. Sarada was robbed. Chuunin and main character status.
So in the end, being a female character won out over her being a Uchiha I see? ;D
Wait, so Shikadai is the only chunin?

I just realized that Boruto performs the transformation jutsu in this episode without using any hand signs what so ever.
Way to be a showoff, Boruto.

this is lowkey awesome. this resembles is the kind of development I wanted to see Sasuke get to at some point with the squad. Sasuke in general is a lot more expressive on Naruto than he is when he gets older though.
Boruto not saying Naruto at any point (unless I missed it at the end). I guess its just weird to say his old man's name.
Love the scene with him and Naruto with Sakura as well as bonding in the apartment. I love he gets to see first-hand Naruto's life.
I hope Sasuke runs into Sasuke, or Boruto does.

I'm not sure if I'm misremembering but the old series, even in the beginning, had a much more serious vibe going on so it's really weird to see Boruto going back to that time and everyone being all-out silly all the time. Especially if this is after Sasuke deserted.
As if Tsunade would be so flippant about a couple of unknown strangers in the village after Akatsuki just infiltrated the village like a month earlier.

Cool episode. Was disappointed that we probably won't see young Sasuke again. That would have been great.
Reminder that Boruto blushes way more than young Naruto

The problem with that is they probably don't want to put her above the rest of her team and it might contradict the manga.
I am guessing he will learn more about it later but we only got 5 more episodes left I believe.
Boruto handled the Sasuke past thing in a mature understanding manner. Especially the "past made you who you are Today" and what matters is who you are now, "I know you're the Sasuke I know because of the Sasuke of the past." and respecting that.
If it was Sarada I feel we would've seen another rage quit scenario like Gaiden. "WHAT DO THEY MEAN DESERTER? ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
lol she is not ready.
