Why do you think Boruto isn't in a rush to bring everything to light and get his parents back? It's because deep down he himself knows that right now it's the best course of action to keep them there.

Not one conversation Boruto had with Kawaki involved unsealing his parents, if you read between the lines it's obvious that Boruto also agrees with what he did at some point during the 3 years.

Yet the fandom is trying so hard to paint Kawaki as the unjustifiable bad guy who isn't deserving of forgiveness even though the MC doesn't oppose him and he wasn't the one who activated Omnipotence, it happened subconsciously.

How old are they and what is there role ?

The story is clearly set between Shippuden and nng, and will likely show Naruto and Sasuke fight in between the two. I have no idea how Narutostans are coming up with the Boruto is decanonised story. From the looks of it shadow Rising won’t last too long either, it seems like a mini series akin to jjk modulo.

Boruto is here to stay, it’s successful, and was actively being advertised in shibuya the other day, if it were unsucceaful they wouldnt be advertising in goddamn shibuya would they, right before a Naruto even alas. Pull yourselves together Narustans, stop being a hive mind of misinformation and pure toxicity.

My favorite parts are visits to the shop keeper, I hope when they launch the anime we will get a slice of life from Jura just shopping and visiting cat cafe

Shonen protagonists are often viewed in a way that they always have a personal goal, have their happy ending and "yaaay".

Like Naruto becoming Hokage and having a family of his own.

Boruto used to have the goal to become a Shinobi like Sasuke and now,he is literally already living this goal,but I feel like the older he gets, the more I think he doesn't see a future for himself and that his life as a "Shinobi in the shadow" is gonna end pretty "quickly" for him.

His goal is to "restore the Uzumaki family."

However, does he include himself when he is just called Boruto Otsustuki now?

Do you also think that Boruto has become someone who absolutely doesn't care about himself anymore?

And if so, what do you think about this?

Simple question, is it by design that on Boruto, young Narutos hair is super short and way less spikey. Is this by design? Or just a silly design mistake

In the flash forward we see Kawaki wearing a scarf to cover his neck. But I do feel like this clothing is taken and somehow similar to Codes clothes under garments.

I made this Sarada fanart before I met her voice actress last April! I wanted to share here ❤️

Let’s say we are in an alternative reality where the story ended with Naruto and Sasuke vs. Juubi-Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki was never introduced.

After the final fight Hagoromo took back the Indra and Ashura chakras from Naruto and Sasuke. Leaving them respectively with KCM2 and EMS. The rest goes all the same.

Fast forward to Boruto’s times. Who would be the next villains? What threat would you create for Boruto’s world? You can invent anything you want as long as you think it would make a good story to be told in the Naruto universe.

Kishimoto and Naruto having the same posture, both overworked and stressed, and reasonably so. Idk, Naruto might be sloughed even more.

Can I just say I love that Ikemoto didn't try to make Naruto into this badass all the time. He of course has his cool moments, and he's very strong, but he still retains that goofy side of Naruto which is essential to his character. I just love it.

Obviously, Chapter 700 puts Boruto and Sarada in the canon. They were introduced by Kishimoto himself in the final chapter of Naruto.

The current cope being spread around is that all the content produced thereafter (Boruto NNG + Two Blue Vortex) is not considered canon since "Kishimoto didn't write it/it's not his manga".

This is completely false.

Kishimoto has always been overseeing the series. To begin with, Kishimoto was the editorial supervisor of the series, while starting from Chapter 52, Kishimoto was officially credited for the story drafts. When Kishimoto says "this is Ikemoto's manga", he means the day-to-day routine – Ikemoto makes detailed scripts and draws it; however, Kishimoto has the last word, reviews every single chapter and used to provide the basic story outline for the series up until then.

Kishimoto literally stated:

• He goes through every single chapter because he's still a part of the team.
• He created the major points for the story draft as a template up to the end.
• He and Ikemoto discuss changes and proceed accordingly.
• Kishimoto would never have done Boruto if Ikemoto had not agreed to take it up.

It's not a pointless side project. It is the creator granting the permission and supervision for the official sequel. It IS canon. You can dislike it all you want but don't be pathetic about "it is non-canon."

I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest fan of Boruto. I’ve spent my time keeping up with it mainly out of curiosity rather than as a fan of it. I’m not one of those rabid Naruto fans who’s been obsessed with demanding it get retconned or acting like it killed my family and burned my dog alive. I’ve made my peace with its existence and just accept it for what it is.

And while I think it’s lackluster in many areas, I also understand that there are certainly things to like about it, and I’m happy for the people who can band together and enjoy it, even despite it’s flaws. After all, Naruto wasn’t perfect, it had lots of issues as well.

However I think that something that always bothers me is how it’s treated when you bring up how Boruto has overall mishandled its legacy characters. Aside from Naruto and Sasuke, the other legacy characters have very minimal roles and some iconic legacy characters are just not present at all. And I think this is probably the biggest sin Boruto commits, worse than any potential bad art, worse than any plot lines. And when it comes to Sasuke and Naruto, they are either stagnant and in the exact same spot that they were in before the time skip to Boruto, or just make decisions that don’t make sense in the larger context of the character.

My issue is how so many people will disregard this by saying “It’s Boruto’s show, not Naruto.” Essentially saying that those old characters don’t matter and don’t deserve any attention since it’s not their show, and I think this is blatantly false. It also confuses me a ton, because I imagine a lot of people who came to Boruto like Naruto, so why are you ok with this blatant apathy to some of the most beloved characters in the franchise?

Yes the show is about Boruto, but it’s still set in the world of Naruto, not only that but it’s set only 15-16 in the future. Boruto owes its existence to Naruto, and as such there should be a certain respect and reverence given to the more iconic characters of that franchise. Seeing our characters continue to do cool things is almost like saying thank you to us for supporting it and while I get it that can be seen as pandering, by doing what Boruto has done and actively just ignoring the older generation of characters it just kind of alienates people who maybe wanted to see their favorite characters in some form that wasn’t a bland piece of plywood.

And I’m not saying make the show about Naruto, but at least have the characters play a larger role as mentors and teachers, as icons and legends. Let them exist to teach the younger kids how to be like them, and then let the kids surpass them in a way that feels natural and not forced.

There was a way to do this in a way that didn’t feel unearned and forced, and I genuinely think that this is the worst issue within Boruto, it doesn’t seem to really respect what came before it. If this issue were fixed, I’m sure Boruto would be looked at much more fondly.

Anyways, this was a yap, and I’ll probably get downvoted to hell considering a lot of Boruto fans will see that I said I’m not a big fan and then immediately ignore everything else I had to say. But I just have a hard time understanding why so many fans of Boruto just seem to have such an apathy towards anyone saying they wished the older generation was more present.

Shout out to my little brother in the last two photos for helping me put on the belt and taking pictures of the fit!

why is Boruto hated on? i’ve loved Naruto for a while but i’ve been really getting into it more. I started Boruto a bit ago and am on ep. 132. I’m aware it’s different than Naruto, like story telling, symbolism, the vibe and meaning to things just aren’t the same. It is also not dark at all. (I believe it will definitely get dark in some way) In terms of where the story and the world of Naruto is going I think it’s good, of course they are going to build off the Okutsuki. With the announcement of Naruto : Shadows rising I see people being happy saying that Boruto’s “not canon” first this isn’t even confirmed or debunked, right? second, are people just hopping on the hate train that’s been around since the show first came out? Wtf is wrong with Boruto?

Bro why are there genuinely ppl in this day and age still believes Deamon NEED TO TOUCH someone to reflect their attacks. Yall brain are either smooth asf or u just have reading comprehension of a rock.
This single panel literally debunked that shi yet there are still ppl that believes he need to touch to reflect their attacks.

Kawaki is apologizing for "keeping them sealed for so long" feels like a subtle shift in his mental state because up until now, he treated sealing Naruto as a cold necessity that required no remorse.

Is this foreshadowing him making a desperate mistake later or will someone force his hand to enter the dimension?

I remember when Boruto out of all people summoned Nue when he was an academy student. I always thought that this isn't just coincidence,but hey😅.

Would you enjoy it if Nue returned?

Boruto uzumaki in my art style..

I hope you really liked this..

This is the combination of the previous and present time skip design...

I really enjoyed it..

May be i will draw Naruto next...

Bye have a nice day..

My big sister actually brought me this Boruto because I wanted it so badly in 2022. She surprised me in the mail, and I brought Kawaki for myself to go with Boruto.

I mean just looking at the new sneak peak, you can tell he doesn't even want to do this, but he had no choice if it meant keeping Naruto safe. Kawaki's actions were never meant to destroy but to save and rebuild and I'm glad Ikemoto is giving us an insight into his mind.

He isn't trying to kill Boruto in the flashforward, we have no idea who actually destroyed the village and at most Kawaki seals everyone temporarily.

In terms of foreshadowing, Boruto was always the one most suspicious in my opinion, I'm telling you just like nobody saw omnipotence coming, I'm placing my bets now that the Flashforward is a trick and Kawaki isn't the bad guy.

Who is this very special, specific person in his life?
