Sort of curious how they’re going to handle things from here on as once Kawaki showed up I don’t remember there being many gaps in the manga story where they could insert some more anime only content. So I’m wondering how they’re going to avoid catching up too quickly.

There's also Kawaki repairing the vase they can use as an episode dumping ground, given how everyone was more familiar with him once it was finished in the span of a single page in the manga

Holy exposition dump

I see Samurai 8's spoiled Kishi something fierce in that regard

Is that better or worse than having characters pull abilities out of their butts as the story went on though?

There was a lot of foreshadowing and callbacks in Naruto (albeit some of it is only called as such with the power of hindsight now that it's a completed work)

Kaguya was subtly foreshadowed as far back as Pain's Invasion where Nagato says that the Chibaku Tensei he made to capture Nine-Tails was nothing compared to the Sage of Six Paths, who made the moon, yet it's such a throwaway line until Hagoromo shows up and talks about his mother hundreds of chapters later

Sasuke also brought back the "You're not afraid, are you?"/"What's the matter, scaredy-cat?" shtick in chapter 647

I'm sure it'll make sense in the anime after 100 episodes of Kawaki and Boruto hanging out and going on various missions

Well episode 203 disappointing

The manga literally gives them an opening to do numerous episodes for Kawaki to grow as a character and bond with Naruto and the other genin, but they simply skip straight to the fight with Jigen, despite literally saying that the clash with Delta was a while ago, and Kawaki shows off a power he didn't have previously

Every since Kishimoto came back, the art seems to ape his style more and more of recent, or at least look closer to the Boruto anime character models.

Weirdly enough, Konohamaru gained his manga appearance in the anime for a few episodes during the Ao arc

The fight on the water being a direct homage to Naruto and Sasuke's first Valley fight was a nice touch - Naruto even combo'd Isshiki the same way

And Kawaki hiding while an enemy threatens to kill his teacher hearkens all the way back to the first episode/chapter of the entire series


Still wish we had more filler with Kawaki bonding with the rest of the cast, because his affection for the Hokage and familiarity with the other genin really felt rushed

Maybe the road getting here wasn't perfect, but I really couldn't ask for a better sendoff for the character

I mean, maybe Naruto dying peacefully of old age and something something Kurama dies with him so his power can't be misused in the future, but that's fanfiction territory

I forget, is Delta actually fully an android or a human with some mechanical parts?

Either way it is kind of weird since she clearly had a mind of her own before this as mentioned and can obviously feel emotions considering she fell victim to Ada’s ability.

She's a full cyborg whose mind gets uploaded into a new body when it gets destroyed

In the anime, Amado destroyed her spare bodies so no one else could use her, and then built a new body for her in Konoha

It's fine but the way the author draws Sarada in the cover makes me deeply uncomfortable.

Yyyeah, ever since Sarada got her wardrobe change there's been a few brow-raising images in official media

The anime avoids it by keeping Sarada in her original outfit and doing nothing with her for months (years, now?) at a time

Meanwhile, Manga!Konohamaru continues to be an eyesore, hooray!

Gonna be kinda weird to adapt Sasuke's Story into the anime, given he's currently down a Rinnegan thanks to getting stabbed in the eye
Granted, filler's never cared much for the timeline, but still...

I've always heard Sarada is very popular and hearing Cherami Leigh voice her has me intrigued.

But gently caress, I never even finished Shippuden. I've always wanted to sit down and watch Naruto from start to finish and make up my mind on whether or not it's good. I need to do that before I get into Boruto. But man that's a lot of anime.

There's a fanmade Naruto Kai series that truncates the series down to 72 volume-length 1.5/2-hour "movies"

Alternatively, play the Ultimate Ninja Storm games

And...really, the Boruto series is mostly self-contained, so you're really not missing out on much watching it blind as its own thing (granted, 270+ episodes is a massive ask of anyone, and a lot of it isn't manga-related, but gives a lot of focus to the entire new cast to the point the manga feels incomplete without having watched the arcs surrounding the manga chapters)

The manga has 5 arcs
The anime has 23

The manga's first arc gets adapted from episodes 51-66
The manga's second arc gets adapted from episodes 141-151

Haven't been reading or watching Bort. Has Sasuke done anything especially edgy or stupid after Naruto Gaiden?

Nope - he's pretty chilled out nowadays, and honestly the only people getting any focus in the series for a while now has been Boruto and Kawaki; Sarada and Mitsuki have barely been relevant for a while, and the anime's currently giving Himawari, Boruto's sister, the spotlight (although it's still primarily Kawaki-focused)

Do we know how many chapters this miniseries is supposed to last out of curiosity?

The novel is 10 chapters, and we just reached the end of chapter one's events, so probably in the ballpark of 18-25 manga chapters depending on how they pace and show events

Can't wait to see how Sasuke handles everyone being interested in Sakura since they wear rings differently...

"Sasuke no."
"Amaterasu yes."

I don't watch Boruto so forgive me but it's still wild to me that Itachi wasn't actually lying back in Part 1. Someone you love does in fact have to die to give you the Mangekyo. Maybe Tobirama was right about evil brain chakra.

So I guess, to be relevant to Boruto, Sarada needs to have someone die to be as strong as she can be. Again, very hosed up. Also she'll then have to steal someone's eyes to not go blind. Even more hosed up.

Very early on in Boruto Sarada activated her sharingan just because she was so happy to see her father, odds are there'll be a less traumatic way to get its upgrades

It's triggered by emotion, and was thought to involve negative emotions due to all the fighting the Uchiha have been subjected to

The Uchiha are capable of the greatest love and the greatest hate, so hopefully we'll see more of the former than the latter

If I might offer some arcs to watch?

The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (Episodes 19-24) - Sarada focus

Chunin Exam/Versus Momoshiki (Episodes 51-66) - Boruto focus

Mitsuki's Disappearance (Episodes 71-92) - Mitsuki focus


The rest is pretty much the manga chapter adaptations
Mujina Bandits (Episodes 141-151)

Kara Actuation (Episodes 157-175)

Ao (Episodes 178-187)

Kara Clash (Episodes 188-205)

Ōtsutsuki Awakening (Episodes 206-220)

it's entirely possible that madara and sasuke are the only two to ever achieve eternal mangekyo. i guess kakashi sort of did so very briefly?

Obito's spirit inhabited Kakashi after his death against Kaguya which let him use both mangekyo and manifest Susanoo, rather than a proper EMS, which needs two pairs of eyes, rather than a shared pair split among two people
