Didn't the first chapter have a page of some mysterious boy facing off Boruto in the ruins of the village?

So once again the Springtime of Youth spinoff adaptation we'll eventually get will be the best part of the series, got it.

Oh great they're introducing Sarada with a 'battle of the sexes' episode next time. With the nuanced gender politics Naruto has shown so far I'm sure this will go down just fine  Also there's been a severe lack of Cho Cho, the best character. That said I'm liking Metal Lee, the second best.

Larryb posted:The fact that there is no Sasuke-like character to drag things down (yet at least) is a major plus yes. So far I actually like this series better than Shippuden and am interested in seeing where things go from here (hopefully things won't go completly off the rails as we get further in though). I hope Sarada doesn't eventually fall into the usual Uchiha trap of doing something insanely stupid later on though (or at the very least I hope she ends up being more like her uncle than her dad). She's the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and someone who willingly married and had a child with Sasuke Uchiha. She hasn't got a chance.

Larryb posted:Boruto's class president (I forget her name but she's exclusive to this series) and Choji ended up marrying some Cloud ninja whose name I also forget (I don't think the two characters ever interacted with each other once in the entire series actually, even in anime filler). I think it's Sumire? And the Cloud Ninja was Karui. Unrelated, but I hope the 'let's just bomb this poo poo' girl shows up more, she seems fun.

We can scratch 'killed his brother' off the list, it was more like a 'forced to assist in his brother's needlessly traumatizing long-term suicide plot'. Like Itachi explicitly wanted Sasuke to kill him so he could return to the village as the hero who killed Itachi.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:no, that conversation stated that he didn't carry them because he didn't have the opportunity to charge them. hence the messenger birds. but my point is, sasuke easily could have stayed in touch with his family even if he was intent on staying away so that the village wouldn't turn against them. he never did because he doesn't care about sakura and salad and likely has another family somewhere. He uses lightning style jutsu too, it would be trivial to use himself as a battery.

The thing I don't get it that once again nobody actually corrects Salad on Karin not being her biological mother. The DNA results were the last thing she saw, remember? As far as she's concerned she's happily adopted. (Also what was the Ino thing about? Surely Sakura and Ino hang out enough for her to not be weirded out by her knowing Sasuke, and Salad knows she's a happily married woman. What has Sakura told her.)

They had to force the Ino-Shika-Cho connection somehow. And at least Ino and Sai tried to give him a name; Ino's own parents clearly didn't bother.

seiferguy posted:My honest feeling is that Rock Lee is an orphan, with his parents possibly killed in the 9 tails attack. When he's hospitalized after Gaara nearly kills him, no one shows up. The fact that he looks up to Might Gai like a dad seems to validate this. IIRC there's a flashback to when they first met although I don't know if it's anime only or not - Gai takes him on as a student after being inspired by his desire to keep training without chakra.

I think I caught Sasuke and Sarada in the crowd at one point - I wonder if they get their own episode? The english dub's close to hitting that first arc about deadbeat dadsuke too so that should be fun.

Larryb posted:Is it still the same voice actors playing the original Naruto characters (as is the case in the Japanese version) or did they switch some of them up? Same VAs as far as I can tell aside from adult Konohamaru, although Naruto's VA feels like she's lost a bit of energy. They were just ending the Gaiden arc and are about to start the Mist arc, last I checked. Sarada's dub VA is very good imo.

Flytrap posted:Suigetsu was testing Sarada's DNA against her own umbilical cord. To be fair it's not weird to assume the umbilical cord your coworker keeps in a little box in her desk belongs to said coworker. What's even weirder is that he knew it was even there, although I guess watercooler chat in Orochimaru's lair is pretty out there.

Larryb posted:Off the subject, not sure why it took so long but they finally finished dubbing the rest of Shippuden fairly recently. They started releasing the Boruto dub before finishing Shippuden, along with The Last, so that must've been confusing for dub anime only people who probably exist somewhere.

Larryb posted:On another note, how much formerly anime-exclusive content eventually wound up being adapted into the main canon? Off the top of my head we’ve got: Raiga, that Sand Village girl who had a crush on Gaara, the Uchiha Cats, and I believe one of the novels referenced Blood Prison. Also the design and names of Sakura’s parents came straight from Kishimoto himself, he just never wound up using them in the manga. I'm pretty sure the Uchiha cats were in the manga first, just before Sasuke fought Itachi. They popped up in the anime a second time for a much later filler episode that went back pre-Shippuden to give Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke (and Itachi) fuzzy cat ears for some reason.

Blockhouse posted:Kashin just got cast for the anime and it sure isn't Jiraiya's voice actor In both dub and sub, Obito had two different VAs - one for when he was Tobi/Obito, and Madara's actual VA for when he was pretending to be Madara. Wouldn't be hard to have pre and post reveal VAs. IIRC in Obito's first appearance as a kid, he also had a different VA to Tobi. Pyrotoad fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Actually given how much it popped up in Shippuden's anime filler/that one movie I've decided that they've decided to canonise alternative timelines in the manga in Boruto so this is the Jiraiya from that other timeline where everyone's personalities got flipped so he's the evil one in the Tsu/Ji/Oro trio (or Orochimaru is the only good Sannin in that timeline for true opposite day shenanigans) and he decided it'd be fun to check out the other timeline. It's valid.

Sasuke is talented AND works hard though, even as early as the first couple chapters Kakashi comments that he knows jutsus he shouldn't typically know at his age. In a flashback we see baby Sasuke burning his face training to master the fireball jutsu for his dad. Plus, anything he learned after the clan died outside of the school standards would've been self-taught and he still made it to the top of the class. Given the official shinobi method for dealing with orphans was 'eh they'll be fine all alone', we can assume nobody was teaching or tutoring him, just like nobody taught Naruto.

There was also the plot hook that Naruto would change the system that created Haku and Zabuza, which lends itself well to the idea that maybe there would be a moment where Naruto has to look as his dream of being Hokage and ask if that's what he really wants to do, if it means perpetuating this system. Also him challenging the system, the backlash that results, and perhaps a 'Team 7 escapes from the village' arc instead of a Sasuke Retrieval arc. Instead it turns into weird almost-fash 'The Village is Everything' poo poo, with genocide survivor Sasuke learning that it was for the best his clan was genocided because they were genetically doomed to evil anyway, or Neji dying

Darth TNT posted:Everything about Itachi is awesome. I'm still reading along on the Mangaplus daily release and he's just really well handled. It's unfortunate that Sasuka is a bit unhinged. I mean that's literally all Itachi's fault though. Sasuke was doing pretty great until he popped up - even Orochimaru was concerned that the curse seal wouldn't take because Naruto had such a strong influence on him.

Orochimaru was killed twice already by Sasuke and then Itachi and didn't die. He can't be killed in a way that matters.
