Boruto being a tsukuyomi dream has been a theory for a while, especially with salty fanboys who don’t like Boruto.

Sasuke giving Naruto his literal dream of being the Hokage and lifelong best friendship while actually living out his mission of tearing down the establishment would be more interesting for sure.

Becoming a bit of a CW teen drama, but there's a decent amount of intrigue with the strategizing. Kind of fun that they're worried about being deemed threats to Eida when they're probably potentially her most desired chances at actual friends. Hopefully they give some reasonable explanation why the girls aren't affected by her charm.

The bedroom scene felt so awkward, especially after confirming they’re underage. If next year we find out this guy has questionable tastes I for one will not be surprised. That said, cool chapter. Neat that apparently Kawaki can detect Momoshiki I’m not sure if I’m disappointed that the Sharingan isn’t the reason for Eida resistance. I have little faith that the actual reason isn’t going to be teen girl power somehow.

I don't really like whow the young characters like Sarada are drawn at all, but to be honest, reading the chapter on my cellphone, nothing about the bedroom scene struck me as tasteless? It was very explicitly a pillow fort/girltalk kind of scene.

Oh right, Sumire's got the whole Hashirama cell-made seal that lets her work with Nue and Sarada's descended from Kaguya, so that might be why they're immune since they both register - however dimly - as Otsutsuki?

Which combined with the setting, the subjects and the precedent for how he draws these girls that gives it a bit of an aftertaste for me. But maybe I’m overly sensitive at this point.

Oh I mean, Sarada's character design in the Boruto manga, and how the artist dude draws it in particular, is really bad, I agree. Anyway, what's up with Naruto and Shikamaru and everybody just not bringing up any of the other methods used for resurrecting people, even if just to give Amado an excuse to blow them off? Naruto's had no less than four different ways to bring people back from the land of the dead in some way, all before Boruto started.

An Edo Tensei version of the daughter is basically like the cyborg version of her, not the original real flesh and blood thing. Can Sasuke even use Rinne Tensei? We only saw him use a few of the powers in his fight with Naruto. And with his eye gone, can he even do Rinnegan based powers? What other jutsu are left, Chiyo's? She took that to the grave, and Amado would have to find a ninja willing to die for his daughter. Teek fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Dec 20, 2022 |

Who knows, maybe they'll explore the morally just Orochimaru route down the line. Amado's a brilliant scientist but that doesn't necessarily mean he has Intel on all the past ninja and their techniques. It's likely those forbidden jitsu were kept under wraps for obvious reasons, and Amado's previous employers had their own agendas to keep him in their employ, even if they knew of those. Of course a whole lot of shenanigans will likely ensue preventing Amado a happy ending as that flash forward foretold.

What happened to Naruto's NinJesus healing ability at the end of the war? Heck, he seemed to have a lot of powerups in general that have fallen by the wayside.

When he and Sasuke blew off each other's dominant arms, he lost the Sun Seal that apparently was necessary to use his Jesus healing. So it's just gone. The other Six Paths Sage powers were probably tied to the other Tailed Beasts, which he all released after the end of the manga. Speaking of which, did Sasuke's Moon Seal ever do anything? I can't remember.

He hasn’t shown that power since sealing Kaguya. So unlike Sasuke’s Rinnegan, it seems to have been a limited perk that went away when his hand did. Also fwiw, it didn’t seem like an outright healing ability, more like a, “going to move some cells around in your body to stabilize you” thing. So even with Guy, he didn’t heal him. Kakashi assumably lost some muscle mass (and maybe his appendix/spleen?) when Naruto gave him his left eye back.

That's pretty interesting, though even if it wasn't outright healing, that's still ridiculously powerful, maybe outright broken with a little imagination--like turning vestigial organs into replacement parts or even new usable things. Ah well, Naruto was never meant to be an Orochimaru type of body modifications kind of character.

I haven't really paid attention to Boruto much at all, but I was reading this new Sasuke thing (which is surprisingly good so far) and the person who does the art for it is WAY better at emulating Kishimoto's style. Something about Boruto's art has always felt vaguely "off" - like the artist themself is skilled but is trying too hard to imitate Kishimoto's style and not fully succeeding.

Hashirama's cells now should presumably only give wood release and healing factor, since the chakra of Indra and Asura trasmigrated to Naruto and Sasuke. Besides, given they have made up, we don't even know if the chakra will trasmigrate again or if they lost that connection.

Sarada and class president are like...12? and that first panel of them all in the bed is showing way too much of class president's legs for my liking. Otherwise it's still a pretty good chapter, I'm pretty invested in the mystery of Eida's abilities and the drama rhododendron they've got going on in this house. The only thing that could make it better is if they got Code in here somehow.

The age thing also plays a bit weird comparing the manga and anime. By this point in the anime at least, they should be more like 13 years old that many episodes in. If the series started with them at 11, then Boruto's bad birthday happens to turn him 12 sometime around the Chuunin Exam, then that's a whole lot to pack in to a year for all that has came after and will later come after in the un-animated manga content. Could easily see that being something the anime adjusts when we get to this point. Especially if they plan on getting to the 16(?) year old Boruto in the flash forward without a larger time jump than Naruto had.

Speaking of, I’m kind of curious how far away from the timeskip we are now (I believe there was another brief flashforward a chapter or two ago). I also still wonder how we’re going to get from current Kawaki to prologue Kawaki (the latter seemed to show telltale signs that he was possessed by someone)

If he went and did his own thing, it would probably look a lot better. Shingo Kimura, OTOH, looks like someone who got their start tracing Kishimoto's work, and their style fits much better.

The timeskip is something that does happen at some point in the near future, but since Bort's seeing visions of it I'm guessing preventing the bad future is gonna be a story arc.

Turns out after the time skip, Boruto is old enough for Eida and Kawaki is taking out his rage of getting dumped for his best friend out on the village.
