What? You don't think this kid aged 10 in a miniskirt is sexy and appropriate?
Sarada's design alone ensures that, if at some point the mangaka gets caught for child porn, my response will be either a surprised pikachu meme or a Fry shocked meme.

I do wonder what was wrong with her Sakura Lite outfit. Pants (or at least shorts, I guess) are cool and good, Son of Naruto manga maker.

It's kind of nice to remember that Sarada, at least in theory, is stupid powerful and will only get more that way with time.

Can Sarada get a new outfit? Asking for a friend.

That was always kind of silly when we had Naruto and Sasuke spending all night in the woods to learn to walk on trees.

Remember when Sakura was the best at that and that was the last time she was the best at something?

When Kishimoto said he was bad with female characters, I think he was understating things pretty hard.

So the general consensus is that you stick with the anime for Bort, right? Which I guess makes it different from Naruto where you stuck with the manga.

Finally giving the show a proper watch I'm really enjoying it about... nine-ish episodes in. I think Sarada might have done more than her mom did in the first series already. (Hyperbole, but only just.)

Naruto as of yet doesn't seem a bad dad, exactly, just busy. Like what happens when your dad is the President.

I am more fascinated by Inojin. Sai and... Ino? Man, poor Ino really had nothing after being 'the other one who liked Sasuke.'

Not only has Sasuke not seen Sarada since she was a baby the only picture they had of him was from his Team Taka days.

In happier news, the episode about a day in the life of the Uzumaki family was a genuine delight. I love Himawari hitting Naruto so hard the Nine Tails felt it and going slasher villain on Bort.

Sarada might get relegated back to supporting character but I’m impressed she got her own story arc. That said like somebody else said, Sasuke’s real jutsu is getting people to project their emotions onto him.

Sakura got a cool moment. That’s a jarring experience for the Kishimoto-verse.

Nah, Sarada has a big role to play. But I was very happy that Sarada was 100% set on pulling a Sasuke and abandoning the village, but this time Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu worked and brought her around before she did anything stupid.

And goddamn I wished Sakura had more moments like that in Shippuden.

The Ultimate Ninja Storms always make me feel wistful because there everybody gets a cool finishing move and the one in 4 for Team 7 at the end of the Shippuden arc is pretty baller, what with everybody summoning and powering up and it wouldn't have been that hard for Sakura to not just play healbot, right?

To stay positive, Mitsuki was also low-key hilarious in Sarada's story talking to Cho-Cho. "Your case is pretty advanced."

30 episodes into Bort and Sarada had a fight she wins handily. At the same time in Naruto her mom had... learned to walk on a tree.

Dear Kishimoto: Did you see the latest episode of the Boruto anime, specifically Sakura being the bad bitch of chakra control and/or bulk landscaping? Why weren't you doing this back in Shippuden? The world wonders. Sincerely, literally everyone.

First and most importantly: :hmmyes:

And Sarada essentially combos this with the Sharingan, right?

Man, Naruto is really the least interesting part of this series isn't he. Jiraiya seeking his destiny, Sasuke seeking revenge, all way more interesting than Naruto being a dumbass.

I don't quite feel that way about Bort, though? He at least has some more interesting dynamics going on. Although I do wish we could skip to he and Salad being friends already.

I don't think "joy" is an emotion Sasuke is capable of. I'm shocked he could even say he has a wife.

There's probably a joke about how it's good Sakura has super strength because she needs it to do the relationship's heavy lifting in there somewhere.

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

Like a lot of women in shonen battle, Sarada is very cool but it's most in potential.

Mirai's one of those characters who, like a lot of the supporting cast, are cooler in theory than in practice so it's neat to see more of her.

I mentioned earlier she's part of why I would be interested in trying Boruto but while reading up on discussions of it, somebody said they've completely neglected her character or a long time now. Apparently the claim is they've neglected every character except a couple.

Welcome to a shonen battle series!

I would also like Salad to do things. And get a new uniform, maybe.

Naruto literally had to be kidnapped by Momoshiki and Isshiki to get him out of the village, and I'm looking forward to that happening a third time when we finally get to the events in the flash-forward at the start of the series where he's MIA

Wait, wait, wait, Kishimoto has gone on about how he stopped developing Sakura because she wasn't popular and she's in the top 10? Over the villain who spent years grieving his 13-year old crush???????

I think the secret is Kishimoto is just super lazy when it comes to his female characters. She wasn't popular because he didn't do anything with her because he thinks of his female characters and all it is just a mental shrug.

Yeah, Himawari’s another factor in this as unless Kawaki’s appearance is altered in the eyes of other people then she should be able to tell that her “brother” looks nothing like her (also didn’t they say something a while back about her potentially being a threat to Kawaki?).

Speaking of, I wonder who’s going to be taking care of her now and if we’ll get to see her at least as a genin after the inevitable timeskip

Isn't her maternal grandad still alive?

And yeah, I get Eida's really powerful but Himiwari does have a vision-based kekkei genkai so you'd think that'd be a decent hax around it.
