Hey, this means the anime staff can do poo poo like the Iron Naruto mech but keep it canon and be important for when the big story beats happen. I'm alright with trying that.

Well at least they're sticking with her original design rather than what she looks like in the current manga so that's good at least. Hope she gets handled well enough but I'm not holding my breath. By the way, how much involvement does Kishimoto actually have in this series (or, to go back to the Dragon Ball analogy, are we looking at a potential GT or a Super)?

Actually, from the one frame in the PV, she seems to be wearing the manga's outfit, just streamlined for animation.

Boruto also has his special borutogan from the getgo. I'm gonna finish this episode, the setting is really interesting, but I think i'll bail out while I can.

Boruto launching a train car into the Hokage Monument to get to class on time was better than anything in the entire war arc.

That poo poo almost makes me want to keep watching future eps.

There's some really cute and good stuff, but there's a ton of flags already telling us it'll get to Shippuden's big dumb escalation boringness really quickly. You got the stupid edgelord open, Boruto's Borutogan and the OST's only way of going into action is with heavy rock that feels out of place for the child action because it'll likely fit when gods are fighting or whatever.

It just hit me that they're totally going to spread the Ninja Academy into a whole 26 episode thing, and then do a second OP for the third cour that features Sasuke because they'll adapt Scarlet Spring. In six months and some change we'll get Sasuke about to stab his daughter.

Do remember that Shino got taken down Singlehandedly by Mitsuki.

Decided to go back and see the Salad Gaiden episodes.
1) That ED was excellent
2) It was amazing to relive the hype of "Sakura's life is MISERY"
3) I saw it with my girlfriend and she said "He's going to ask who she is!" when Sasuke and Salad were about to meet, only to scream when he pulls a goddamned sword on her instead.

What a good story that was :3: Suigetsu's DNA Test is joy.

I think, on top of it being a good set up for the story, you gotta consider that Naruto can't possibly be a 9am to 9pm Ninja President *and* a 24/7 father. Shadow Clones aren't infinite stamina, and both roles are a massive burden. He's already shown to be constantly burnt out with being Hokage, which is the job he has to do, so i'm guessing it's more of a failing to find the right balance of sending out clones to spread himself all the time, and not being able to afford messing up with clones in the office.

My favorite is Naruto trying not to lose it in front of the children when Suigetsu says the DNA tests came out positive for Sasuke cheating on his wife.

The discussion on whether the glove thing is good or bad boils to two things:
A) Is Boruto in the wrong? Yes, he is cheating by using an extra magic thing that nobody else can use.
B) Should the glove be allowed? Possibly. I'm still on Naruto's side that the Chunnin Exam shouldn't be the beta test site for a weapon that can shoot every jutsu ever. It can deffo be a cool tool to be used and should be slowly integrated into the ninja world.

Grandpa Hiashi just wants an genetic cocktail out of his favorite grandson, of Oro can throw in some more good genes and a special eye or four into Mitsuki then im sure he'll be happy for them. Man, Hiashi's masterplan is going beyond expectations, the Borutogan seems on par with rinnengan for detection rolls.

Naruto dabs to connect with Boruto. Sasuke will not allow Naruto to one-up him yet again and unleashes the Mangekyo Sharingan to copy Naruto's dabbing technique. Probably uses his sword to fulfill the dab.

Ended up watching the recent episodes. 127 is Boruto and Sarada on a quest to buy Make-Out Tactics since Jiraiya wrote that book and they want to learn about him. 128 kicks off the arc proper, so i skipped 'till near the end and saw Boruto and Sasuke get transported and realize when they are.

I kinda dig the whole data decompression thing. I am loving floored that it's NOT what Jigen's up to, and, in fact, Jigen's deal is that spongebob episode where Plankton takes over Spongebob's brain to try and steal the krabby patty. Like the panel showing the parasite aspect looks like that episode.

And the fandom looked at each other uncomfortably, unsure whether to celebrate or rage.

So does that mean the current guy will just be doing the "art"?

So, the guy being replaced, Ukyo Kodachi, just did the writing. Mikyo Ikemoto is the artist and will continue to be.

Honestly, I'm super ready for Boruto to go down in quality from this lol. Like I'm sure the overall goals for the story will stay the same, but it'll end up feeling less interesting than it has for this last year.

Give me more episodes where Sakura gets drunk with Ino (and Hinata drinks tea and judges them) because she can't believe Sasuke is actually training Sarada to be an edgelord and doesn't see the red flags of her saying how she needs more power.

This might be me overanalysing, but I think there's a fair dive in quality in this chapter. Kurama's boxer and nuclear fusion analogies took me out of things for a sec, and in previous chapters the office segments were helping build tension with how they were cut inbetween battle pages, while this time there's just the one bit there right before the arm stuff.

Yeah, I think Kurama and the Rinengan eventually come back, but for the next several years (both IRL and in manga) we're dealing with like start-of-great-war power levels for Naruto and Sasuke. Which is still high, but no longer Literally loving Gods. I like that.

Decided to read this latest chapter, mostly because I heard that Sarada unlocked the Mangekyo. That was pretty lame seeing her do so halfway through the chapter just to ask Sasuke to take care of Boruto, and then she gets like three or four panels because everything else is setting up the timeskip.

I miss the old writer. The concepts here are pretty cool but the dialogue is soooo exposition-y and then Sasuke spells out how this is mirroring Naruto and Sasuke like every other character in Naruto Shippuden was.
