Yup, Boruto and Sarada are basically Naruto and Sasuke. I don't why they couldn't make new moves for them and have them use those. Instead we have Boruto doing rasengun and shadow clones the way Naruto did, and it's just boring. I feel like the series could have done so many interesting things with the next generation and they pick the most vanilla safe story possible.

Eh, it's not so bad. Boruto actually does know a lot of moves. He just likes to spam Naruto's moves too much, Just take a look at the list of moves:




Sarada's the one that needs more moves than lightning, fire and super strength.

I think if we do another thread to split the manga and anime discussion then this is the amp time to do so since we are going into a manga + original arc starting this Sunday. It is the first manga arc ever for the anime since the movie arc was just a movie rehash and doesn't really count.

where is the lie though?

it comes off as Byakugan of a different skin. Might as well have just given Boruto the Byakugan at this point.
Actually in the anime it basically
  • Could see portals and its location before they happen (Urashiki and NUE).
  • Maybe open portals itself or break through dimensions (how he escaped and how he might've put Nue back into its dimension when it wanted to blow up against Naruto and Kakashi)
  • It has precog but byakugan also has precog so whatever.
  • It can see a dimension while in another dimension without opening up some portal.

some others I think but I am not going to go and look it up

Boruto from the academy and Boruto from now is like night and day. Whatever happened to the ninjutsu specialist prodigy? Or whatever they called him during that pre chunnin exam episode were they reviewed the kids.
This chapter and the ones before that had him only use rasengan


Impressive for
Sarada though. Even her Pops did hand signs when he was her age for Chidori, plus it looked stronger then kid Sasuke's.

I feel like you could've just given all those things to the Byakugan and it would've worked the same.

Hell, you could've just made it so that the Jougan is an upgraded Byakugan that happened because of Karma interacting with Boruto's eyes.

I'm going to guess that the anime is going to make Boruto put out new ninjutsu moves versus the manga.

well
the manga Boruto has those two moves, the thunder one and the water one, idk why he didn't use it but oh well, it wouldn't really change anything
the Jougan pretty much is an evolved byakugan eye so it sharing or carrying traits makes sense I guess
maybe it is like the MS of the byakugan or something, who knows
Summon me when Ryogi reveals himself. Whether it be manga or anime or even just an official piece of art somewhere.
This is the real issue right here. I guess you can toss in Toneri now too.

When the series first started I was hoping they'd have Boruto use Sasuke's techniques and Sarada use Naruto's with them eventually putting their own spins on them, oh well

Boruto actually has his own techniques, don't know what happened to them though :/
the sad reality is, the only reason he has his own techniques is because his Dad taught him shit (not even clones) and Sasuke too

oh and for whatever reason he can't use his own blood limits when everyone else is running around with theirs

Technically, the Jougan is his bloodline limit. He's just shit at using it.

Boruto wouldn't be able to use Chidori without Sharingan although maybe he could with the Jougan. So I give a pass on that.

That said, Boruto has used Kakashi's Sharingaless version which is Purple Lightning.

Wish he would main that instead of Rasengan.

It wouldn't be Naruto if it wasn't doing the same teacher/student and parent/child parallels for the millionth time.

Boruto would be far more interesting if he had the Byakugan or could fight in the Hyuga style. Neji with the Rasengan and Naruto's chakra reserves would have been hype for him.

But he has the Jogan which we don't know what it actually is good for, despite the Byakugan already having an OP upgrade in the tensaigan.

I mean Boruto does do Hyuuga Taijutsu fighting. And in the novel, it's stated that Hinata has been training him in the Gentle Fist. (I actually think he's trained more with his mom than dad by the time we start the show)

Like....I don't think Naruto's ever done open-palm fighting.

And the fifth OP also implies that Boruto and Himawari partrake in Gentle Fist training with their mom, grandfather and aunt.

^ does gentle fist training matter if we just see him spamming clones and rasengan like Naruto?

rather he stopped even doing those palm strikes and it isn't really even gentle fist since the real gentle fist uses chakra
he can't because his eye is always dormant

plus the opening pics shown and everything are just fan service, the kid never trains with the Hyuga or Sasuke

his so called palm strike he used back during the academy up until the exams was something he learnt before he even attended the academy and his only taught thing beyond studying

Hinata was his only teacher LMAO (and now Konohamaru)

I say he should just train himself again before he unlocks his dojutsu since we got Boruto Stream, gale palm, and
thunderclap as well as surging sea via said stuff
go back to being different again pre rasengan spam

still he isn't that bad compared to some other new gen kids like Ino Shika Cho and Sarada who literally don't have their own moves

If Toneri returns, I wish to be made aware of that as well.
The forgotten prisoners are increasing lol

I thought Sarada's Chidori looked like kid Kakashi's Chidori.

I think the Chidori moment was great. In the second to last page I was like "no way Sarada doing Chidori", and the next panel was like "HOLY SHIT she did it"

Both Shikadai and Inojin know their parents techniques, Chouchou doesn't seem to know her mother's jutsu though.

Sarada doing Chidori was sooooo predictable that I am a bit disappointed, but it is what it is. Otherwise that was another great chapter. Would enjoy it a lot more if it would be weekly and the art looks great now.

Had to look up what jutsu her Mother Karui had and even then she doesn't have any beyond just lighting release. ChoCho also has lightning release.

You know what would be chill? If ChoCho learnt the Raikage lightning armour and maybe combined it with butterfly mode.

Yeah this arc is pretty cool so far. It'll be interesting to see how this segways into the manga storyline.

It's nice seeing ninjas actually do an infiltration mission lol

Strong silent type dude is probably not the perp...Red-haired dude probably is it since we've had several arcs where the dude thats the closest to the boys ends up being the traitor..Kamata would be interesting, he was writing notes and commissions...

Really cool seeing Boruto do the lighthouse run.

I thought they did a great job of making me doubt everything I thought about Arai last time and almost really thought itd become Kamata (hope thats right name). Still they couldda changed things up and not made it Arai...actually would be interesting if it actually isnt Arai and he too was framed.

Really going to have this arc in the top ones of Boruto.

Also he and Mitsuki are doing a great job and keeping their ninjutsu hidden still.

Kamata not ratting them out was great, good badge of courage, hope his sentence gets reduced arc end, and arai, where you at?

Benga needs to be taken down, don't know theyre gonna do it, oh wait, I guess escape is an option. Strong Silent dude needs to do something, unless hes a rat also?

Todays episode was good, really liking this arc.

Was really hoping when that book fell it was Sarada using genjutsu, she needs to use genjutsu more often.

So they're basically possessed by karma. Interesting. I'm sure Naruto can give Boruto and Kawaki some advice on being possessed lol

That doesn't look like the Jogan.

In fact, there's a war going on in the Boruto reddit about whether the Jogan is anime-only and if Boruto just has a simple Byakugan in one eye in the manga.

So quick question, why are all the women in the manga wearing heels that look very impractical for a ninja?

Epic chapter, glad its leading towards my BoruKawa interests at some future date.

Hope they continue holding off on animating this until we get total and complete conclusion for it.

I wonder if they gonna adapt all this massive chunk of manga content since Momoshikis till now without any filler. They can do something to flesh out some relationship between New Team 7 and
Kawaki
and set up some critical events like...
Sarada doing Chidori
I hope they keep the filler to bare minimum though, but we are talking Boruto here...

The chapter where they showed a montage of Kawaki hanging out in Konoha and getting to know the kids could easily be a bunch of episodes if they wanted lol

What is Kedama doing?! like, is he really just going to sit there, or, maybe he did do something to help Sarada and she will actually signal next episode???

Still Sarada having a major role this episode was pretty good.

Also I loved Mitsuki's fond smile towards Boruto. Cute

LOL Masterful storytelling Boruto writers. Kudos Accolades and everything else for the final few moments. Wow.

Felt like it all made sense.

-Wish we got to see Arai again at least.

Cool looking action this episode, the blurring and filters really made it look special.
