To me, it's one of those "kids will interpret it as a forehead poke, but adults will interpret it differently." They make that joke as well (when Sakura first mentions it Salad pauses for a moment before calling her mother a pervert).

Have we actually seen the Hidden Mist village to this extent in the series before (I don't remember if the Zabuza arc actually took place there or not)? I also liked that one scene where Boruto and the gang were essentially playing Ninja Uno.

Yeah, the only manga related content so far was the flashforward at the very beginning, Salad Gaiden, and the Hokage Ceremony which was an expanded version of the final chapter of the original Naruto manga. We're not even in the same time frame as the Boruto manga at this point (the manga is also only released monthly which would be very hard to adapt into an anime if they were playing this straight).

The current chapter also seems to confirm that the anime and manga are in direct continuity with each other (Boruto mentions taking a field trip to the Hidden Mist back in his academy days which is of course the focus of the current anime arc). As such, going by today's episode apparently the Curry of Life arc from the original (or Raiga at the very least) is now canon. Larryb fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Oct 18, 2017 |

JahRoo posted:I think the swordsmen were revealed in the manga (and Raiga had an appearance, so he's been canon since that appearance) but not a lot of information was given about most of their swords, other than Zabuza's, samehada, and Chojuro's. Most of the details surrounding the seven swordsmen were anime only. I know his swords appeared in the manga during the Ninja War being used by his predecessor, but I don't recall Raiga himself ever making a cameo (I could be wrong though). I suppose it could be possible that he was actually thought up by Kishimoto for some kind of supplementary material and the anime writers just decided to actually use him for a story arc.

When was the last time we actually saw the Sharingan get used for its original purpose (that is, copying techniques)? I swear, this show is almost like the anti-GT. Both are continuations of established properties done by different writers with little to no involvement from the original creator and both try to incorporate elements from the previous 2 installments into its stories, only here those elements are used in a way that shows the writers actually understand them. In fact, I think some of the stuff in this show so far is actually better than the Naruto manga (or the later half of it at any rate), it's kind of impressive.

When he did the clone attack on whatshisface (Kisame's son), Boruto hit him with an open palm (so not a Hyuga technique per se but probably the closest we've seen from him so far).

Flytrap posted:The Hyuuga fit half of their family with magical seals that would mind rape them to death and burn their eyes out to make sure nobody could steal them. Yeah, I'm guessing Naruto did away with that tradition pretty soon after becoming Hokage (if it hadn't been abolished beforehand that is). Though in regards to the second point, have we seen Inojin use any techniques from his mom's side of the family yet? Usually whenever we see him fight he tends to borrow from Sai's playbook instead.

Despite the excessive amounts of filler (which I'll admit, there are some arcs i actually kind of like) I actually think the Naruto anime (both of them) is better than the manga in some aspects, mostly due to the fight scenes and the fact they actually bother to explain some aspects the manga just sort of glosses over (such as Anko's connection with Orochimaru). Hell, some characters like Tenten have gotten more screen time/development in a single episode of the anime then they have in the entire manga combined and despite being almost exclusively original material so far the Boruto anime has been surprisingly decent.

I just always found it weird that in the main manga she seemed more like a prop than she did an actual character. I think she's only shown actually fighting like twice in the entire thing, every other battle we typically just cut to the aftermath and leave the anime to fill in the details.

JahRoo posted:I'm worried that they'll try to establish some kind of continuity and eventually adapt the manga, which has been bad. It's already adapted the flash forward that started off the manga as well as Salad Gaiden so that's pretty much a given. Also, since about 90% of this show is anime-exclusive stuff can you really call it "filler" per se? Now that Boruto's team will finally be formed next week I'm guessing there will be a few more arcs to establish their relationship and then they'll jump straight into adapting the movie (hopefully in a heavily altered format to account for the new cast members), after which we'll probably start getting some manga content. The manga has already established the anime is canon to its events after all. I agree that the anime-exclusive arcs have been much better so far though.

EmmyOk posted:The best thing about Boruto (still haven't watched yet) is that the artist realised that Naruto looks best in the jacket type thingy and that the tracksuits look best when the jacket is unzipped. These are the secrets for the best Uzumaki designs. The manga is once a month, the anime is weekly like the previous two shows were. But, kind of like is the case with Dragon Ball Super, the anime is the superior product of the two so you're probably better off just sticking with that.

Even so, Sai still ended up being a better husband/father than Sasuke ever was so I think Ino wound up coming out ahead in that regard (of course, if your main competition is Sakura that's not exactly a high bar to clear).

JahRoo posted:I think there were a few points in that fight where sakura genuinely did something cool and unexpected. She was one to prepare the antidote (which even chiyo couldn't do), used her strength to merk both of his puppet bodies, and faked being poisoned to get an almost fight ending punch in. Of course she needed chiyo's help to win the fight, but I don't think that was a problem at that point in the story. Nobody was really strong enough to beat akatsuki members on their own, and it made sense that they needed the advantage of someone with insider knowledge. Yeah, not counting movies and anime filler I think her only real accomplishment after that was beating up a Zetsu once. She also held her own for a little while against the Sound Ninjas in part 1 but still wound up having to be rescued anyway. Come to think of it, I believe the only female ninjas in this series besides Sarada that have had a modicum of success as far as fights go are Tsunade and Ino. Sarada is also an Uchiha, which means she has a lot more built-in advantages than her mom did as well. Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Jan 25, 2018 |

True, if you think about it Sakura in part 1 was actually lower on the totem pole in regards to fighting than even Tenten was. She has no actual skills beyond the very basics and what she does learn later all comes from Tsunade's playbook (which Sakura still never really uses quite as effectively). Which kind of makes me wonder how Sarada learned to fight as effectively as she does considering her mom pretty much sucks and her dad is barely around.

It does suck that Sakura never really develops a special skill of her own the way nearly every other character does (like I said, even Tenten is better at fighting than Sakura is initially and her role was basically "background prop that gets a few lines occasionally"). Though to be fair, the Rasengan/Chidori were technically borrowed techniques as well (the former coming from Minato/Jiraiya and the latter coming from Kakashi). Speaking of which, I kind of hope Sarada learns how to use Chidori eventually (if she hasn't already that is, I forget).

Bort so far has only shown partial strength from his dad (and his tenacity to inspire people, i guess) and nothing from his mom. It's pretty clear who the better one is. He does tend to use a bit more Taijutsu in his fighting style (occasionally doing it open-palmed) so I guess you could say that's from his mom (he also had that weird one-eyed Byakugan at one point). But other than that no, he hasn't really used any Hyuga-style techniques yet, which is kind of weird considering that Hinata probably would have had more time to train him what with Naruto being busy as the Hokage and all. Conversely, Himawari hasn't been shown using anything from her dad's playbook yet, though to be fair we still haven't seen her actually fight yet beyond effortlessly kicking her brother's rear end a few times. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:salad's most important trait is something she didn't get from either of her parents- mental stability Let's hope it lasts, she is still an Uchiha after all.
