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

For a second I thought he summoned Orochimaru

I guess that's what it's leading to - again. That lion/snake demon is related to Mitsuki (based on the preview) who is actually related to Orochimomu.

At this point Boruto the Movie has been remade more than Spider-Man's origin story.

I've only played UNS2 (it goes up to the Invasion of Pain) and already the balance was hosed without introducing Madara and 10 more Naruto and Sasuke forms.

This chapter has virtually no backgrounds. It's almost all action lines and vague rocks.

Ikemoto has vastly improved his art in most areas and his action panels translate well to me.

This fight has been awesome; very old school Naruto vibes and not just hurling nukes.

I might be in the minority here but I'd like to see the B-cast of characters participate more beyond Naruto/Sasuke/Team 7 getting all the action and I could see Kishimoto doing so. Rock Lee, Kiba, hell give me Tenten.

Kishimoto really said get these old fucks outta here

Kishimoto said where we're going we won't need eyes.

Honestly I'm satisfied with the Rinnegan getting taken out, Isshiki's Byakugan being useless, and Kawaki winning with a simple shadow clone. It seems like Kishimoto's turned over a new leaf.

Yeah Naruto ain't dead. I expected more from the last cliffhanger and Sasuke just shrugged it off.

Was Kawaki shooting skin blades from his feet?

I'm in the camp that Kurama isn't dead yet. That didn't feel like a final goodbye. There must be residual chakra somewhere, maybe the Ten Tails that Code is raising?

Code finally factoring into the story makes sense in retrospect. He's a blank canvas for Naruto and Sasuke's power reset. But drat, Kara is a disaster of an organization.

Haven't watched the anime in awhile but I caught the last episode because of the love I saw it was getting. drat, when Boruto's animation is good it's good.

Eida's character design and abilities are such polar opposites of what this manga offers that it circles back to being entertaining. Most of this chapter was exposition but I'm fascinated by her.

I guess I need to watch the Jigen fight episode.

Anyways, the manga. Amado's going to pull a Kaguya to Isshiki's Madara.

Daemon's ability is completely broken and doesn't benefit combat at all so I'm not looking forward to those fight chapters.

How many chapters has it been since Eida has been introduced? Because Code's done nothing since then. If you told me it all happened in a single afternoon I'd believe you, but apparently Konoha's been searching all the while.

EDIT: Honestly, this should just be a slice of life manga with low-stakes conflicts.

And in thats time Amado has put together an entire conscious android weapon for Konoha.

That chapter was nothing but the last anime episode was good. The Baryon Mode reveal was underwhelming when I read it in the manga but this episode hit all the right emotional beats.

I hate how young Hinata is drawn. Something about it is uncanny.

I guess that's how Naruto leaves the story.

I wouldn't hold my breath since Naruto has dimension-hopped before, though it finally looks like this chapter is setting up the pieces:

- Naruto and Hinata are out of the picture.
- Himawari may have a unique ability, or this situation will prompt her to become a ninja.
- Himawari is potentially a weakness for Daemon.
- Code's army has the numbers to attack a defenseless Konoha.

The question is will we really have to wait through a timeskip to get to another Invasion of Konoha?

Me in February: I don’t know, I just don’t see how there’s going to be a timeskip anytime soon.
Me in March: goddamn

I’m wondering what Code’s army is all about though. Who are they going to attack? WHEN are they going to attack?

4 month hiatus? :negative:

I'm excited for the timeskip but this chapter reads like a rushed wrap-up.

Not sure how I feel about this timeskip. The pacing is very weird.

With Naruto's timeskip the Sasuke rescue plot continued but it also soft rebooted in a way with the new Team 7, the Akatsuki, and the Hidden Sand mission. This is basically a direct continuation of the plot that could've happened the next day and not 3 years later. In this case the timeskip feels like more a rebrand to generate interest again. We don't really understand the extent of Boruto leaving for 3 years before he already comes back.

Why do Shikadai/Chocho/Inojin have baby faces still while Boruto/Sarada/Mitsuki look old

This is probably my favourite page from Boruto so far. I'm not even interested in the shipping for these characters but the wordless realization from Sumire that she's not the one is so good.



Also love this spread. I agree that we don't need more new named characters but seeing Eida actually get scared and try to play it off is a great moment.

The anime may be delayed until 2027/8

Pierrot wants to put out higher-quality content, and is switching from weekly to seasonal releases

Going from a 4 month break to 4 years is insane :psyduck:

This chapter kind of sucked. The Boruto vs Mitsuki fight was boring and the talk no jutsu metaphors were extremely hamfisted.
