Boruto |OT| Naruto Next ERA
- Thread starter Desmond
- Start date
Lol you learn not to listen that guy.
Whats also impressive about Boruto is that in didn't launch until April so its had like 5 weeks less than the other shows.
I've come to really appreciate the Nue arc, simply because it set up a lot of cool stuff for both the anime and manga (and also gave us Sumire.)
EDIT FOR EPISODE 59:
Seriously, why couldn't the entire Chunin exams be as fleshed out as this episode? This was way better than the last two episodes.

Inojin and Shikadai's reaction to losing felt pretty realistic given the circumstances.
I did like this episode. Shinki being as edgy as Gaara adds some flavor to this arc.
Also, in the movie

Shinki uses a puppet to distract Metal, but so far we haven't seen him using that technique yet... maybe they scraped that
Episode was alright. Shinki vs Cho Cho didn't do anything for me.
I guess it makes sense for Boruto to only be caught cheating later in this version since there are named opponents beyond Shikadai this time. And also it's cool that her, the tool only popped a single Shadow Clone instead of a blatantly suspicious 10+ in the movie.

I was wondering about the puppet myself honestly and yeah I think they did
I liked this episode, didn't feel rushed. Also Shinki's backstory helped to flesh him out. Hope he comes back more.
It's not as if Boruto needed to cheat: we've seen other people breaking free from Shikamaru's jutsu in the past, it's just that Boruto is so used to everything being so easy to him that he had to go and use the ninja tool because it was the easier exit again.
Man Cho Cho keeps on impressing
She needs a butterfly mode but also lightning armour akin to the Raikage, then she can be Yoruichi
but hey Kote Boruto predates both of them and is Kishi's input into this story so what the heck

NUE arc and Mist arc Boruto scoffs at Kote device Boruto

I think that's the key detail: We know Boruto doesn't need to cheat, but Boruto himself doesn't believe that. Everyone's conditioned him so much to feel like he needs to step out of Naruto's shadow to earn his respect. The scene with the Kote in the locker room reflected upon that; he was going to put the Kote away and fight fairly. He WANTED to do that. But then he heard Shikamaru and Temari talking to Shikadai and giving him advice and prepping him on. He feels that, in order to earn that from Naruto (and Hinata to a lesser degree), he NEEDS to cheat.
I feel kinda bad for the kid. His whole story's tragic so far, and I felt really bad that not even Hinata's gone to see him to have that prep talk with him.
Yeah Boruto makes me sad but he'll learn soon enough we know and we'll have some cool adventures with him soon without the Kishi drama.
Planning to watch the latest ep soon can my gf and I expect more than 10 seconds out of Cho Cho or does she go the way of the Inojin

you can expect Cho Cho taking a majority of the episode
he might now argue about manga sales :P
I thought that in the anime we would see him doubting about his own skills or something like that, those episodes about the Byakuya gang made me think he was about to get an unpleasant experience that would make him doubt about himself, the role of the shinobi and so on, and at one point it seemed to me that it was about to happen but in the end nothing of the sort happened.
(... and then Sasuke comes and tells him "is that thing a Rasengan? It's awfully small" and Boruto had to go and see Katasuke out of frustration. You see, we should blame Sasuke).
Cho-Cho was utterly amazing this episode.
Yeah, Sasuke screwed up there, no doubt about it. Boruto's accomplishment there was actually amazing and that's probably the closest he's ever been to resembling Naruto's demeanor. But unfortunately the perceived criticism he got from Sasuke demolished his self-worth.
It's weird, because Sasuke's otherwise a pretty effective teacher. But I guess he felt the need to let Boruto fall on his ass rather than correct the misunderstanding.
Boruto actually kind of reminds me of Hinata before she took over Naruto's personal nindo. Someone who considers themselves a failure and always gives up too easily.
Oh wow, this was a pretty great episode. I see you Cho Cho! I feel pretty bad that they all lost, especially Shikadai, fucking cheaters suck man.
All of that filler or w/e was really rough to get through, but can't lie, definitely helped in gradually making me care about these guys. Come a long way from when I first just saw them as derivative clones of their parents lol

This is too good. I'll never get sick of this.shameless repost
Boruto has 5 fatal flaws right now that keeps him from realizing his true potential: overestimating his abilities, underestimating his opponents, not relying enough on team work, entitlement, and impatience.
The capture the flag is one of the biggest examples of this. He severely underestimated his opponent thinking his four clones could protect that flag. Even the most average ninja can summon ATLEAST 2 clones. So why the hell did he not think of that? There was no reason Mitsuki shouldn't have been guarding the flag with him. Sarada could of went for the opposing teams flag all by herself.

Can we really blame Sasuke for that tho? Boruto got in his feeling and left mid sentence.
If Boruto wasn't so impatient, he could've fully mastered the Rasengan and successfully learn the kills Sasuke was trying to teach him.
Yeah, I think a little bit of blame could be placed upon Sasuke for not reading the situation better. I also think things probably would have gone a little bit better had Sasuke explicitly called out Boruto's usage of the Kote.
Boruto's got an interesting dynamic going on here. He seems to take blunt criticism fairly well, as long as he doesn't perceive it as an attack on his personal character. His later training sessions with Sasuke show this when Sasuke doesn't sugarcoat any of his criticisms. But that criticism of his Rasengan was something Boruto kind of took as an attack on his character, and he didn't take it very well as a result.
I have lately been listening to the wonderful soundtrack of Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden. Stuff like Senya, Sadness and Sorrow and Shitsui are still songs that can touch me deeply.
I have watched around 30 episodes of Boruto and I have not found any impactful pieces of OST yet. Do you guys have any recommendations?

There's only one OST out right now, and it's largely consisting of tracks that appear in the first two arcs.
Some noticeable tracks to listen to:
- Kaze ni Nare (Become the Wind)
- Mozen (Fiercely)
- Boruto ~ Musou (Boruto ~ Unparalleled)
- Sarada ~ Shintsu (Sarada ~ Heartache)
- Kakugo (Resolution)
- Sarada ~ Toshi (Sarada ~ Fighting Spirit)
- Hakunetsu (Climax)
- Youkon (Vigorous)
When the OST with the sad track that plays when Ryogi and Shikadai have their break up comes out, let me know.
"It's All In The Game", by Qyoto has probably become my favorite of the three Boruto opening songs. It's a shame the animation associated with it is god awful, because it could be so much better. The actual lyrics to the song sum up the movie arc extremely well too.
New episode was good.
Really have to wonder how deep Mitsuki's feelings are for Boruto. Dude is like his sole motivation for doing anything.
The way that kid acts around Boruto is just weird at times; like giving up just because he saw Boruto, combined with the whole "Sun" thing. Plus, stupid filler aside, I'm not sure what the big deal with him using Sage Mode is given that least one other person has it anyhow. The whole "I can't use it if I want to stay with my friends" thing is just really unusual. I hope they explain it later.
I'm also personally starting to wonder if there's some connection between him and Toneri. The two of them have a strikingly similar appearance, with the primary differences being where Orochimaru's traits show up in Mitsuki's face.

I would imagine that Mitsuki going sage mode would get others to start asking questions and looking into his parentage. No one except a few know Mitsuki is Orochimaru's kid, not even Konohamaru knows. People in the village may not like Orochimaru's kid roaming around the place. I mean we've seen how unreasonable they were when Naruto was a kid. Not to mention the other villages might have issues with this as well.
I don't get how people would make that connection tho. Certainly his use of SNAKES of all things would arouse more suspicion then Sage Mode?
Nice episode but now I'm wondering how are they going to proceed with the scientific ninja tool stuff.
More people use snakes than Orochimaru, but the people who can actually use Sage Mode? And at HIS age?
There are actually more sage mode users (counting the dead) then there are snake users. >.>
Not saying that the sage mode itself alone would make people assume he's Orochimaru's kid, just that it would have people question who he is and then they would look into it.
That just goes back to the fact that the snakes themselves would arouse more suspicion!
I hope they actually have a legitimate justification for those "Don't use Sage Mode" crap, because I aint buying that it's about keeping his identity a secret at all.
I think the reasons compound upon each other. Like snakes raise an eyebrow, but going Snake Sage mode while your a genin raises a "Alright, who the fuck is this kid?!"
first half yeah, second half with shinki/mitsuki was pretty good and it's obvious they're saving their animation talent for the most significant fights
New Boruto chapter this week is pretty good
art is also still steadily improving, just an all around progress in story and art

can't believe we were robbed of a Sasuke training Sarada scene T___T
And yeah the Mitsuki stuff is... lol. It actually makes me wonder what they're planning with this kid long term. He seems to have faded into the background in the manga. I like him, but I feel like he should stand out way more than he does considering his background.
EDIT: speaking of the manga, sweet chapter.... the manga has really been coming into its own lately imo
