The Notorious ZSB posted:I do not even remember who Sakumo Hatake is to have any idea why he's in the top ten. Kakashi's dad, but I couldn't tell you what he did. I wonder if Sakura had some sort of massive fan campaign or something. Good for her.

All i remember about Kakashi's dad is that he died and was maybe an assholey hero with some reputation that made young Kakashi also an rear end in a top hat that gave his friend a huge complex.

Did Kakashi’s dad even get to do anything on screen in anime filler for that matter?

Despite being a war hero, he had a bad reputation for messing up a mission to save his comrades which made young Kakashi one of those "the mission is the only thing that matters" jerks when he was a kid. He showed up in the manga for a page or two during Kakashi's near death experience. I think that was when Pain attacked Konoha. It was a nice scene. He also recognized that Guy would be a good rival for Kakashi in Guy's dad flashback. Also he killed Sasori's parents. Hypocrisy fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Apr 13, 2023 |

It was less a popularity poll and more a "I want a short story featuring this character" poll and if you vote for Kakashi's dad you're more likely to get a story that features a younger Kakashi Maybe

voting for characters that seemed interesting but never got any focus seems reasonable enough to me. for the rest, i'm guessing people just ignored that it wasn't a popularity poll and voted for their favorites.

Sakumo Hatake was widely popularized in Japan by a decade-long series of yaoi fan novels.

Every time I see Sakumo shipped with anyone it's always Orochimaru. Let the concept of being shipped with Orochimaru sink into your brain.

Pretty crazy, but I like the way it's going. I'm now starting to see some path to the flashforward where it's not as bad for Konoha as what it seems? Like some bizarre alliance between Boruto and crew + Code and his Juubi army where they're used to neutralize Konoha but not kill everyone in order to get to Kawaki. There's still a lot of heavy lifting there to get Code on the same page as Boruto when it comes to fulfilling Code's desires, but they might be able to make something work. So basically it becomes the flip of Orochimaru's or Pain's attack on Konoha, with Boruto actually leading a force to take it down.

Dawgstar posted:Good chapter, but I'm going to need the chapter cover to take it down by at least twenty percent. Yeah, I’m still really not a fan of how the manga artist draws Sarada (compared to the anime where she’s much more sensibly handled). Otherwise things are getting pretty good now Speaking of the anime, any word on when that’s coming back or when the new material set in the Naruto timeline they announced a while back will be coming out?

That cover... I'm not sure if I'm more weirded out by Sarada's outfit or how grossly out of proportion her head is to her body. It looks like she's mid transformation into a Titan.

It is all rushed because there's a bunch of it missing. And that's why the manga hiatus, so Kishimoto can finally dispose of the last of the cruft and make it 100% his own story again.

It’s still kind of weird the anime ended where it did as opposed to, say, right here. I imagine once the manga resumes we’ll officially be jumping forward in time (though I imagine it’ll still be a little while longer until we officially catch up with the prologue). Speaking of the anime, it’s looking like we might not see it again until late this year at the earliest (though apparently the new material set in the classic Naruto era will start this September): https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/anime/boruto-naruto-next-generations-release-schedule/

Where did the anime actually end? I've only seen a few episodes early on and got into the manga I think last year year. Assuming it stopped short of this month's manga, I'd imagine they'll pick up at the beginning of the skip and show these recent events through flash backs.

Larryb posted:Right after Kawaki “killed” Boruto and the latter got better Initially I agreed with your complaint but it'd probably just end up some awkward Boruto Harem with Sasuku as the pissy stringent and ever present father figure. Presumably it's going to be a few years of serious training and prep and while Sarada getting proper training with Sasuke would be cool, ultimately we already know this is leading to the big clash between brothers. Plus, Sasuku probably wants to keep his daughter safe since there's a fair chance he'll be considered some rogue at this point. There's a whole lot to scrutinize if you think deeply into the whole scenario, so I'll just stop there.

Much like DBZ the kids of the crazy powerful heroes make their accomplishments look like trash with next to no effort. Unlike DBZ we likely won't be falling back on them to bail out the story, since this was already a passed the torch deal before it started focus, but Sarada obtaining the Mangekyo because of this? Boruto being told he's way more mature than 12 or whatever because he isn't an emotional wreck? Didn't land for me. That said I am looking forward to whatever time skip we're gonna get.

Seems like the memory change is still active and is constantly reinforcing itself. Good to have confirmation. Seems like Sarada really spoiled Momoshiki's plans. Boruto really has his dad's heart.

I am kind of curious what Sarada and Sumire are actually going to do now since they’re the only other ones who know the truth. Also Himawari’s basically an orphan now so I’m wondering what’s going to happen with her as well (or how Sakura’s going to react to her husband going rogue again) I assume Shikamaru will become the 8th Hokage in Naruto’s absence at least Larryb fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 20, 2023 |

Maybe a mangekyou from love doesn't leave it's user blind. Or maybe it won't affect her much if she doesn't spam it the way her father and uncle did.

Kabuto also has an entire orphanage of spare sharingan to harvest if Sasuke can't give her his before he dies (or he pulls an Obito and gives it to Boruto to get to Sarada) (yes, they have to be related for EMS to trigger, but between Kabuto and Orochimaru (remember him? Where is he? Is he safe? Is he alright?) I'm sure they can figure something out)
