Darth TNT posted:You know it still feels so weird that they have Orochimaru still around. Well, it's been way less than a day since Amado defected and then they immediately had to do an emergency evacuation. So in the anime they really haven't had the time even consider that option.

honestly, is Orochimaru the kind of person you want knowing about any of these things you've just discovered?

 Maybe the road getting here wasn't perfect, but I really couldn't ask for a better sendoff for the character I mean, maybe Naruto dying peacefully of old age and something something Kurama dies with him so his power can't be misused in the future, but that's fanfiction territory

Sometimes the anime handles the manga content better than the manga itself does, this is one of them (another instance was the little touches they added to the final Naruto Vs Sasuke fight in Shippuden).

I thought the manga was fine in that it was hit all the important bits but as it turns out I really like indulgent goodbyes too so I loved this anime expansion. Unrelated, the exciting new Boruto pun of Rinnegone.

Yeah that chapter was...underwhelming? It felt like it was over just as things got started and Code's powerset isn't that interesting in action so far.

There is one thing I found amusing at least. Code is still completely under the control of the Ada and he doesn’t realize it, even if Kawaki did. Do we want to talk about the responses Ada gives to what she hears? She’s terrible.

I'm sure Codes going to have some OP bullshit on display, but frankly this manga feels like it's had power creep fatigue since the last Shinobi war. I wish they'd just go with simple betrayal and deception to advance the plot at this point because the new powers haven't been particularly interesting, especially as they castrate the old guard to try to force the new villains to shine. I want to see what happens to lead into that time skip intro just enough to expend the 5 minutes to read the monthly chapters but it's not surprising how dead this thread generally is compare to Naruto's peak popularity

tbh whenever I check out the Boruto manga I am just reminded of how much better the anime is. Especially when the anime covers manga content and there's a big difference in quality.

Hell, the anime actually managed to make the Boruto movie good via its in-series remake (thereby removing any need to ever actually watch said movie).

Speaking of, considering how many movies the original series and Shippuden had I’m sort of surprised they haven’t tried to do another Boruto film yet.

Since I don’t think the manga mentions anyone on Boruto’s team being a Chunin I’m guessing one of the anime exclusive characters (but if one of them does it’s likely gonna be Sarada and/or Mitsuki, though the thought of Boruto technically outranking his dad is funny at least).

Their ranks have not come up in the manga, but they could easily be one. Also I made a mistake in wording there are 10 kids and 5 Chunin slots. They are going to pair off and the winner of the fight becomes a Chunin. So 5 of them will be Chunin. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Hahaha Boruto just grabs the arm popping out his neck to yank Code back through the portal. And glad to see the old Sage mode tricks in action.

If I'm remembering right she went to try and save Naruto off screen after Momoshiki captured him only to end up getting dunked on. I miss the rare opportunities of her actually being able to contribute.

Seriously, even Sakura and (I think) Ino have gotten a chance to kick rear end on occasion. Let Hinata do something besides just being a housewife/mom already

Alright...I do not like how Code fights. It's decent in concept (Laying belts down as the medium for his teleportation is a pretty clunky way to give him a unique gimmick), it's just such a pain following what he's doing from panel to panel and mucks up the flow of action for me. Maybe these old eyes just ain't what they used to be.

Darth TNT posted:New chapter Shikamaru's powerset is extremely helpful in fights, though. He just needs to hit Code with a single shadow binding and the fight will skew massively in their favor, whether Code can break free or not. Shikamaru's powerset is only balanced out by him being a lazy rear end in a top hat as a kid, and that people who know what he's fully capable of would never give him the chance. In a group fight against one person, Shikamaru is some of the best backup around.
