"it" was so clearly referring to the situation, not to a character?

I just think Orochimaru would deliberately choose the pronoun that discomforts and outrages everyone around him, because it amuses him to be uncomfortable and outrageous.

But whatever, mods gonna mod.

I once caught a probe for jokingly predicting that a streamer would not react in the expected way by envisioning a snooty french stereotype. It happens.

"They" would have been the more correct non-gendered/a-gendered pronoun to use there, just something to remember for next time.

Ah, but that is my point. Orochimaru chose to shed their humanity and become an immortal snake demon. They are monstrous by careful and deliberate choice, seeking not redemption or justification, but embracing evil as a way of life. They deliberately challenge rules and norms, simply because those rules and norms exist, and might limit them in some way. I posit that Orochimaru would choose the pronoun that is the most offensive, because it is the most offensive, and Orochimaru delights in offending.

We forget, because they are a good parent, that they are not a good person.

Using 'it' for a trans/GNC person without their explicit request is generally considered dehumanizing, because it's been used that way over and over. There are real people that use it/its as their pronouns and they largely don't do it to offend.

All that said, that was entirely too much thought to put into it, and I blame the fact that Boruto's getting no chapters and episodes for a while.

The Sasuke Retsuden manga had a very cute ending. Sakura managed to make Sasuke blush.

Actually there's an episode of Boruto about this that outright says they use "they"!

55 pages long, and features Minato developing a Jutsu; likely Hiraishin, given his apparent age in that art is far younger than he was when he was using it

Boruto manga continues in August, and the 20th Anniversary episodes air in September

I mean, I'd hope it's not Hiraishin because it was apparently a Second Hokage jutsu first so a lot of it would be just him "improving" on an existing technique, which I don't know that it makes for a very compelling story.

50 of the 55 pages will be him trying to come up with a name and everyone around him going "please shorten it for the love of god"

The last five pages are for the name of the Jutsu

The one-shot itself is pretty sweet. The ninja world really sucks though, although I think we've known this for a long time.

That hit a lot harder after playing Final Fantasy 16, since Dominants and Jinchuriki have a lot in common

Minato's name game on point as usual, so thank god he's got people to temper it for him

That Minato chapter was legitimately good, those two are definitely Naruto’s parents alright (in all the best and worst ways)

The Boruto manga’s still set to return on August 20th right? Not sure about the anime but I imagine probably this fall/winter at the earliest

How do you do, fellow Regis?
It's crazy to think that we finally have a name for one of Jiraiya's other students who trained with Minato. They were introduced over 20 years ago, and they were never mentioned once since. It's especially odd as they are candidates for the whole prophecy about his student thing, and this is only the 2nd time we've seen them.

But I guess there's really not much to Minato is there? It was really Kushina's story.

Man, is that page only not loading properly for me? Meh, guess I’ll wait for the official translation.

Kishimoto was an okay artist.he has a pleasant style, but it gets cluttered sometimes. At least he avoids 5 faces syndrome.

It did feel like a stealth story about the other character, which is nice! The franchise could use more characters about that rare type of person known as women.

Honestly, ever since the announcement, I kind of expected the story to be about what it ended up being about, but I still liked it. Also lmao, considering how Kushina was treated, I guess in retrospect, Naruto *really* did get treated decently for a jinchuuriki.
