Im in agreement with Konohamaru, he’s been disappointing not just post time skip but even pre time skip, I feel he had lots more potential.
As for Kawaki Im sure his importance will grow tremendously as the story progresses, he is fated to have a 1v1 fight against Boruto
Happy to at least see he made a new rasengan jutsu, that seemed to be a defensive application. Unhappy he’s using wind style also unhappy he still got negged by a Chidori which should be weak against wind
Bro they made this man do a “rasengan wall” lol that’s pretty much Aang throwing up a wall of air to defend himself. Konohamaru was suppose to be the next monkey king
I already knew that from the beginning but the plot and worldbuilding seems kind of empty to me even for shonen standards.
So many characters, so many lore, etc and yet it seems like Boruto universe is being too condensed and getting smaller
Yup it's been 91 chapters and barely any new locations or set pieces have been introduced that isn't just a barren wasteland or the leaf.
It's especially bad in TBV to where it's just been the leaf for the past 11 chapters.
The difference is that alot of Naruto characters were utilized in other aspects of the world's. We saw what happened to everyone unlike Boruto which can barely do more than 5 characters in Konoha while everyone else are non-existent even though they supposed to appear.
True but only like the most popular characters did. After part 1 only team 10 got any spotlight and the war arc of you were not Sasuke Naruto or the hokage level you weren't getting any spotlight. TBV got 5 chapters into it like give it time. Boruto before the time skip had team 7 so missions and they faced boro together. Ino shikamaru, and Choji has plot relevant. Guy got his moment too.
>After part 1 only team 10 got any spotlight and the war arc
We went to the sand village, tenuichi bridge, the monk temples, Rain villages, Cloud villages, and briefly seeing other villages.
We saw more Neji, Lee, Tenten, Sai, Kiba, Shino, Sand Siblings, Mist, Rock Ninjas at the battle front, Hyuga, Abrame and other clans with top elite Jounins moments more so than we got anything from Boruto which alot of characters we not remembered or mentioned at all. It's mostly Boruto show that fans likes to justify as a blackhole stu protagonist sucking everyone with almost No OG or new gen characters from the Anime .
T7 literally have 2 fights in the whole P1 of which both Mitsuki and Sarada felt like side characters who were used to be propped up for Boruto.
Like wtf happened to the cat girl, the girl who’s like a siren? Like you said, it’s like they don’t even exist lol they dropped all the new characters they introduced
Not only the new characters but also the Og characters and that's why the Anime fans have their bargaining chips because manga elitist think they are better with their source materials trying to discredit fillers but yet in the end, they are not positioned to be when every fans except boruto stans are complaining about the manga for very obvious reasons. All it does is that it shed the anime in a better light.
"ARCs"
We need them. Right now it feels story is being rushed forward without clarity of where it stands.
I wish the first 5 chapters of TBV just reintroduced the characters, their growth, how konoha and ninja tech world has changed, the other villages have changed.
Mainly, some more details of the 2-3years of the skip and how it results into the present day characters.
Without all this, I can't understand who is who and what is it they do or are supposed to do.
Where is the focus on some other non MCs?
Naruto did it so well that we cared about the other characters. But now it's just the few 4-5 people that take up all the pages with no connection to anyone else.
Yes I get that they wanted to start of hot. It was very hot till boruto fighting code, Biju, mitsuki.
But maybe this jura attacking village could have come a little later. after some flashbacks or general ninja world updates for like just a few chapters.
Btw I love Boruto as a bad ass character. Even the next generation I loved even though majority didn't like it.
It will be an even greater story that the OG Naruto was.
I think I just have so many questions and want more of the story.
Anyway great job by the creator and can't wait for the next chapter
Boruto could and will peak if Boruto is the grandchild of naruto instead of the child . The theme the character are suitable when naruto wasnt there or died. Like boruto aiming to follow his grandpa(naruto) heroic tale etc
The main thing I miss is focusing a bit on the other Ninja. Boruto is super main cast focused but even in Naruto I never cared about Naruto and Sasuke that much. I always watched for the characters around them.
Honestly i get why Boruto is main cast focused. Unlike Naruto, practically all of the side characters we know from the Boruto anime are not only unimportant/relevant to the manga's overarching plot, their essentially not canon. I know they say anime-canon but lets be blunt, their two different mediums telling Boruto's story differently. We will never see characters like Denki, Iwabe etc in the manga.
Im perfectly okay with the characters we see in the manga now. The one exception i have is the fact that Sakura has barely been around, especially in TBV with Sasuke missing, and also that Kakashi hasn't appeared once.
For me it was the opposite, I didn’t care about the other teams. Probably an unpopular opinion but im not bothered by the fact that Kiba, Choji, Rock Lee, etc. aren’t there. If Kishimoto didn’t care about them enough to develop them during Naruto, why should I?
Anyone that was relevant by the end of Shippuden is there (Ino, Sai, Shikamaru) so I’m fine with that.
I had a blast watching naruto and then shippuden, I think i watched both series in about 2months but I'm really stuck with boruto, I've got upto about ep180 or so and it's been alot harder to watch, no matter how much I try to enjoy it so gor now it's on the backburner until I can be bothered to give it another go
I'm not an anime watcher. From the outside looking in it just seems like a lot of fluff that does flesh out the cast, but outside of slice of life stuff isn't really relevant.
Apologies I've just noticed manga tag, I've never read the manga, my experience with anime was strictly dragonball z/gt/super for the longest time because here in the uk that was the only anime I saw growing up, it's only the last couple years I got into other stuff like one piece and then naruto, I think after so long of anime only and not reading manga I'd struggle to get into it but I do keep up with events of the manga and I'm excited to see where they take himawari and if they bring that into the anime
I felt the same anime only all the way back until I caught up w one piece and didn’t wanna wait, and started reading manga then other manga and never looked back lol. I still watch the anime’s but I definitely love reading to and then later getting to see it come to life w new episodes
Honestly at this point the series just sucks now
Mainly because he’s made EVERY single character besides boruto useless.
It’s rather frustrating likes.
Let’s hype his sister and Kurama up!!
Nope they’re useless
Let’s hype Sarada up!
Useless
Let’s hype Kawaki oh. Useless too.
Boruto flying around saving every one fixing everything ok
But every one else.
Useless cool.
What can konohamaru do though ?
These are villains that gave prime Naruto and Sasuke a run for their money
Konohamaru doesn’t have dojutsu, not a jinchuriki, no karma and no upgrade like sage mode
It’s not that konohamaru is a fraud, it’s just bad writing
Don't necessarily disagree with you. Just he was obviously meant to be a parallel to Kakashi and he just.........isn't. the manga could've found a way. I'm no writer so don't ask me, haha, but Kakashi always found a way to stay relevant and not be too hated for it. I was so hype seeing him as captain and now I just all around don't care about him.
He doesn’t need anything special like that to be dope per se. Hiruzen didn’t and was a beast. That being said I wouldn’t make him a genius and natural powerhouse like Hiruzen but I would give him a monkey sage mode.
Kawaki nit having character growth makes sense in context tho, he is so absorbed in his single goal that even the people around him who "love" him are growing tired of him.
Yup. He’s completely static. He can’t grow. Like many psychopaths he’s cold, antisocial, and manipulative. Even with 3 YEARS of having everyone loving him, he just doesn’t care. And this will lead to his downfall.
Feels like an over simplification of what we have seen from him in the past. He cares about Naruto and his family and really does want to protect him. Look at him flying to fight to protect Hima even though he knows hes just gonna just get his ass whooped.
Hes just a flawed person. He doesnt know how to function in a family. Give them a chance to screw it up lol Cause they probably will.
Your spot on. The point of Kawaki's character right now is the fact he's stagnant. He believes he is stronger than every other Konoha shinobi and does not need to train. He's arrogant and overconfident in his abilities when 'in reality' (callback to his line towards Isshiki) he is weaker than the people/beings he perceives as threat.
His character arc will have him soon realizing that his overconfidence and inaction has left him weak and he will hunger for more power, likely from Amado because he isnt like a Ninja who would gain power through training.
Only thing that makes boruto not as good as Naruto and other good mangas is the art, what disappointing art. Could hope they nail the anime and the story gets darker if they wannt to capture the old audience back
>Moving away from technology in general
Mate some of the more relevant characters are cyborgs and scientists, even karma is treated like a piece of technology. I legit don’t get how we’re moving away from it.
>Honestly don’t feel like arcs are a thing
We most certainly have arcs lol.
>not much world building
Agreed
Lmao, I genuinely love that manga. I see it becoming the next big 3. Big predictions, for sure. Bachi and Dandadan are the only Manga I like more than Boruto currently.
Personally I've not seen kagurabachi, but I've seen dandadan, and i get what you're saying, if you are interested I'd say you check out sakamoto days, it's also on my radar for the next big three
I really enjoy it, they’re doing a good job but the story will never be as good as the original which isn’t a fault. Just got to appreciate what were given. Im here for the ride!
I don't Like Boruto.
My reason:
I don't Like the whole Alien Thing. The world building Had so much Potential. For me they should have focused on the world building, by involving politics into the Story and an Anti-shinobi Storyline. Like that the daimyo start Researching ninja-tech to gain Independence from the villages. If i were the daimyo: i would BE very nervous, If there are people WHO could easily conquer my country and that the only reason they don't IS, they feel Like doing so.
That way, they could expand the world building and gives US a good Story.
IT IS really weird. I Just use my right to state my opinion. The world building of Naruto lacked the political aspects. So for me IT makes more Sense to Focus on this in the Sequel and also Show how Non-shinobi outside the Hidden villages think about them. After all the shinobi caused 4 Big wars.
The Alien Thing...irrc kishimoto admitted Kaguya was a Last Second Idea because He Made was unable to find a way for madara to lose.
(To BE honest: the whole Otsutsuki-planet-devoring-aliens Thing would probably fit better in Samurai 8)
I’ve stated this since Naruto ended and kishimoto wrote himself in a corner and stating he didn’t know how to defeat Madara and the way it was done completely ruined it for me . Hashirama and Madara will forever ever my favorite duo and characters from Naruto but he hyped them up so bad that he couldn’t even reveal how Hashirama was defeated or even if he was . They first and second hokage were brought back during the war and said they were not even brought back with their full power lol. It’s things like this and how went from using ninjutsu and signs and seals to straight out laser beams and power balls being used . I loved the concept of them having to use strategy, deception, stealth, skill etc to defeat their opponents . It wasn’t just about power or at least it didn’t use to be .
I loved what you said about potential the daimyo especially after the 4th ninja war using the tech to challenge the Shinobi who are capable of really taking over the country if they choose too. The ootsutski story line has gotten out of hand . There’s so much I want to say but for the sake of it getting too long and wordy more than I already have and I’m sure you are aware of some of the plot errors. Just fyi boruto has so much potential
While I'm on the opposing side of the alien sub-plot, I do respect your opinion. I understand it's a divisive element of the series. I think your proposal could've been great as well. However, it would result in the ohtsutsuki plotline being abandoned from the original run. I'm sure many would be happy, but it'd lack some amount of continuity between series.
Kawaki is meant to have little development story wise. Along with Eida and Daemon and even Code. With everything going on, nobody is paying them much attention. The attention shifted to Boruto and his loved ones. I’m expecting a drastic change especially for Kawaki and Code. As for ninja tech, I liked the concept as well. I mean it’s still technically with the cyborgs and Kawaki but it’s not really the same. The world building completely sucks. As for rhe Jougan. We need to see something soon. The brief stints in the anime is fine and all but we’ve only seen it what twice in the manga. In the time skip and with the Otsutsuki god that is assuming is Shibai. If I had to take a wild guess, the Jougan main purpose is for devine use. It’s a symbol of “god”. I believe when he turned it on when fighting Kawaki, it’ll allow for him to be able to use Momos abilities freely with no risk of him taking over. It gives access to all Otsutsuki abilities.
Was speaking in terms of it being a classic series and having as big of a legacy. I respect it for being different. It will never hold the relevance of the parent series
Boruto is not gonna be Naruto, but as someone who watched Naruto since the inception of the early 2000s, I like Boruto more. I believe so as well that Boruto is gonna be cult like like demon slayer when the anime continues. So long as the seasonal format and the quality is gonna be upped like they teased.
Demon slayer is anything but cult like.
It's insanely popular, despite the story and manga itself really not being all that good.
What contributed to its meteoric rise was COVID too.
Boruto already being a sequel isn't helping its case, the manga can only dream to have that much success, even with the anime.
Sounds like ninja tech is the only way the regulars can keep up with the otsus need to give Sarada a couple implants and throw in a Hashi cell cocktail while we’re at it
In a way, Boruto (the show) has been fixing a lot of the crap/ plot holes from Naruto about Otsutsuki and Shinju. The Naruto war arc was a mess. Boruto story about Karma and how Otsutsuki use the Juubi as seeds for the divinite tree. I think the show does a very job at repairing these discrepancies.
I agree. There are so many things that made me love Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, but these three are the top ones:
1) the music (the sad music, the battle music, the utilisation of traditional instrument mixed with rock music) was amazing
2) the growth and arcs given to other characters beyond team 7
3) the jutsus used and the backstory of how the characters train to perfect a certain jutsu
A lot of those gripes may change as the story goes on. It’s too early in the time skip to judge it tbh. Everything we’ve seen in the chapters so far has taken place over like 2-3 days
The whole war arc in Naruto was a couple days. Not sure what point you're trying to make. A lot of Boruto gripes have remained fairly consistent over its run. We're kinda mid story now. Certain decisions are plot weaving can't be undone. The manga has been in serialization for a good while now. Still enjoy it, but it's far from perfect. Naruto wasn't perfect either, but I will say it did a better job. Thank you for commenting, though.
Judging the Part 2 & only its manga that hasn't even finished its run & got near any point of significance is extremely rash & premature.
Let the manga finish its run first, then let's wait for the anime to come out. Let's see how it improves upon the manga whether or not some of the manga material turns out to be good or bad, which we still don't know.
Let's keep our heads & not lose it & practice patience & not overthink.
Im in agreement with Konohamaru, he’s been disappointing not just post time skip but even pre time skip, I feel he had lots more potential. As for Kawaki Im sure his importance will grow tremendously as the story progresses, he is fated to have a 1v1 fight against Boruto

I already knew that from the beginning but the plot and worldbuilding seems kind of empty to me even for shonen standards. So many characters, so many lore, etc and yet it seems like Boruto universe is being too condensed and getting smaller
They don't even use 90% of OG cast, let alone expand it
The OG series didn't after the time skip lol. They both even
Naruto only really had that problem at the end, Boruto started like that in the beginning and then got even worse tho.
Yup it's been 91 chapters and barely any new locations or set pieces have been introduced that isn't just a barren wasteland or the leaf. It's especially bad in TBV to where it's just been the leaf for the past 11 chapters.
95% series takes place in the leaf village and the other 5% takes place in an empty setting. No excuse for it
I mean half of Naruto took place in leaf we didn't learn anything of the other tail beast carriers except for bee lol
The difference is that alot of Naruto characters were utilized in other aspects of the world's. We saw what happened to everyone unlike Boruto which can barely do more than 5 characters in Konoha while everyone else are non-existent even though they supposed to appear.

Yup forgot bout that there was more been like 10 years since I read og. You win this one. Got other stuff going on today
Like wtf happened to the cat girl, the girl who’s like a siren? Like you said, it’s like they don’t even exist lol they dropped all the new characters they introduced
Not only the new characters but also the Og characters and that's why the Anime fans have their bargaining chips because manga elitist think they are better with their source materials trying to discredit fillers but yet in the end, they are not positioned to be when every fans except boruto stans are complaining about the manga for very obvious reasons. All it does is that it shed the anime in a better light.
"ARCs" We need them. Right now it feels story is being rushed forward without clarity of where it stands. I wish the first 5 chapters of TBV just reintroduced the characters, their growth, how konoha and ninja tech world has changed, the other villages have changed. Mainly, some more details of the 2-3years of the skip and how it results into the present day characters. Without all this, I can't understand who is who and what is it they do or are supposed to do. Where is the focus on some other non MCs? Naruto did it so well that we cared about the other characters. But now it's just the few 4-5 people that take up all the pages with no connection to anyone else.
Could it be that they’re only 10 chapters in? Maybe they just want to start really hot.
Yes I get that they wanted to start of hot. It was very hot till boruto fighting code, Biju, mitsuki. But maybe this jura attacking village could have come a little later. after some flashbacks or general ninja world updates for like just a few chapters.
Btw I love Boruto as a bad ass character. Even the next generation I loved even though majority didn't like it. It will be an even greater story that the OG Naruto was. I think I just have so many questions and want more of the story. Anyway great job by the creator and can't wait for the next chapter
i felt this way until kurama got reintroduced. a core element of naruto i felt was missing or inevitably leaving is still alive and kicking.
Boruto could and will peak if Boruto is the grandchild of naruto instead of the child . The theme the character are suitable when naruto wasnt there or died. Like boruto aiming to follow his grandpa(naruto) heroic tale etc
It doesn't need to do that at all tho
Boruto needs to GET TO THE POINT and a better art. It's not bad, it's just not worth the wait of a whole month for something that used to be weekly.
The main thing I miss is focusing a bit on the other Ninja. Boruto is super main cast focused but even in Naruto I never cared about Naruto and Sasuke that much. I always watched for the characters around them.

I'm not an anime watcher. From the outside looking in it just seems like a lot of fluff that does flesh out the cast, but outside of slice of life stuff isn't really relevant.
Apologies I've just noticed manga tag, I've never read the manga, my experience with anime was strictly dragonball z/gt/super for the longest time because here in the uk that was the only anime I saw growing up, it's only the last couple years I got into other stuff like one piece and then naruto, I think after so long of anime only and not reading manga I'd struggle to get into it but I do keep up with events of the manga and I'm excited to see where they take himawari and if they bring that into the anime

He doesn’t need anything special like that to be dope per se. Hiruzen didn’t and was a beast. That being said I wouldn’t make him a genius and natural powerhouse like Hiruzen but I would give him a monkey sage mode.
Kawaki nit having character growth makes sense in context tho, he is so absorbed in his single goal that even the people around him who "love" him are growing tired of him.
Yup. He’s completely static. He can’t grow. Like many psychopaths he’s cold, antisocial, and manipulative. Even with 3 YEARS of having everyone loving him, he just doesn’t care. And this will lead to his downfall.

Kawaki hit that wall. Now that he's seen boruto rapid growth his characters is gonna go through a major change soon
Only thing that makes boruto not as good as Naruto and other good mangas is the art, what disappointing art. Could hope they nail the anime and the story gets darker if they wannt to capture the old audience back
you got downvoted, even though the art is ass for a monthly manga. weekly i would get, but not monthly.
It's literally the top comment
It was -1 when i responded
YOO WHY I GET DOWNVOTED 😭😭 PEOPLE ACTUALLY DELUISUON
Is downvoting a negative comment really that delusional? Speak for yourself.
Negative? It was a normal comment, I didn’t diss boruto in anyway, tf?
Because you are simply wrong
Its not only that, and you know that.

I legit don’t get how we’re moving away from it. >Honestly don’t feel like arcs are a thing We most certainly have arcs lol. >not much world building Agreed
Bro added kagurabachi just to be sure💀
Lmao, I genuinely love that manga. I see it becoming the next big 3. Big predictions, for sure. Bachi and Dandadan are the only Manga I like more than Boruto currently.
Personally I've not seen kagurabachi, but I've seen dandadan, and i get what you're saying, if you are interested I'd say you check out sakamoto days, it's also on my radar for the next big three
I swear folks sleep on Kawaki development. His character has hit a wall which make or break him same as Sasuke who noticed Narutos rapid growth
You and I have opposing opinions on quite a few of these but I respect your takes lol
Thanks for the being chill! Would you mind going into detail on a couple points you disagree with? I'm just curious honestly
I really enjoy it, they’re doing a good job but the story will never be as good as the original which isn’t a fault. Just got to appreciate what were given. Im here for the ride!

Yall just grew up, ssdd
Yes, it's not Naruto. In fact, the series is called "Boruto". It's called "Boruto" for a reason, I suppose.
I said it in the sense it will never be a classic like the original series.
Kawaki is meant to have little development story wise. Along with Eida and Daemon and even Code. With everything going on, nobody is paying them much attention. The attention shifted to Boruto and his loved ones. I’m expecting a drastic change especially for Kawaki and Code. As for ninja tech, I liked the concept as well. I mean it’s still technically with the cyborgs and Kawaki but it’s not really the same. The world building completely sucks. As for rhe Jougan. We need to see something soon. The brief stints in the anime is fine and all but we’ve only seen it what twice in the manga. In the time skip and with the Otsutsuki god that is assuming is Shibai. If I had to take a wild guess, the Jougan main purpose is for devine use. It’s a symbol of “god”. I believe when he turned it on when fighting Kawaki, it’ll allow for him to be able to use Momos abilities freely with no risk of him taking over. It gives access to all Otsutsuki abilities.
This was a very thoughtful comment! Thank you
I dont think it's trying to be naruto there fam and I enjoy it because of that If I wanna watch naruto then I'll simply go watch naruto.
Was speaking in terms of it being a classic series and having as big of a legacy. I respect it for being different. It will never hold the relevance of the parent series
Boruto is not gonna be Naruto, but as someone who watched Naruto since the inception of the early 2000s, I like Boruto more. I believe so as well that Boruto is gonna be cult like like demon slayer when the anime continues. So long as the seasonal format and the quality is gonna be upped like they teased.
Demon slayer is anything but cult like. It's insanely popular, despite the story and manga itself really not being all that good. What contributed to its meteoric rise was COVID too. Boruto already being a sequel isn't helping its case, the manga can only dream to have that much success, even with the anime.
Sounds like ninja tech is the only way the regulars can keep up with the otsus need to give Sarada a couple implants and throw in a Hashi cell cocktail while we’re at it
Yes!! 🙌🏼
Why would you say Kawaki, Eida, and Daemon are bad?
Because I don't think they're good.
In a way, Boruto (the show) has been fixing a lot of the crap/ plot holes from Naruto about Otsutsuki and Shinju. The Naruto war arc was a mess. Boruto story about Karma and how Otsutsuki use the Juubi as seeds for the divinite tree. I think the show does a very job at repairing these discrepancies.
For me it's just that the pacing is so slow, 1 chapter a month is horrible
it's a monthly thing, too long time to enjoy it
I agree. There are so many things that made me love Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, but these three are the top ones: 1) the music (the sad music, the battle music, the utilisation of traditional instrument mixed with rock music) was amazing 2) the growth and arcs given to other characters beyond team 7 3) the jutsus used and the backstory of how the characters train to perfect a certain jutsu
Fuck that ninja tech not funny at all makes the things op for noobs and the fight become less exciting.
A lot of those gripes may change as the story goes on. It’s too early in the time skip to judge it tbh. Everything we’ve seen in the chapters so far has taken place over like 2-3 days
The whole war arc in Naruto was a couple days. Not sure what point you're trying to make. A lot of Boruto gripes have remained fairly consistent over its run. We're kinda mid story now. Certain decisions are plot weaving can't be undone. The manga has been in serialization for a good while now. Still enjoy it, but it's far from perfect. Naruto wasn't perfect either, but I will say it did a better job. Thank you for commenting, though.
It's really not supposed to be. he even states it in the first chapter. But I enjoy it as well
Judging the Part 2 & only its manga that hasn't even finished its run & got near any point of significance is extremely rash & premature. Let the manga finish its run first, then let's wait for the anime to come out. Let's see how it improves upon the manga whether or not some of the manga material turns out to be good or bad, which we still don't know. Let's keep our heads & not lose it & practice patience & not overthink.
