Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Chapter 22 thread

Not going to spend 40 minutes dumping because nothing interesting happened. By all means if someone else wants to go for it.

Ugly ass motherfucker.

What is Love?

What an absolutely disgusting color page.

For a seconf there i thought the thumbnail said dorito

she's gonna send Daemon to rescue Boruto, right?

Who?

40 pages for 2 rasengans and hardly any dialogue

Either Daemon or Hima because boruto is done otherwise

Hima and who?

Why Koji says Boruto has no chance? The fight looks tied.

Did you finish the chapter

jura hasn't landed a single hit

He’s not even trying though. Meanwhile Boruto’s hits are doing absolutely nothing.

Boruto dies then Sumire brings him back with science. Saradacucks will seethe on the corner.

is there a single well paced v jump manga? seems like not a single writer they have knows how to pace things for a monthly release schedule instead of a weekly ine

mom, can we buy jojo

we already have jojo at home

jojo at home:

The editing situation over there is pretty grim. It’s the time out corner for unworthy shonen jump where writers can do whatever they want without jump caring.

Not a fan of Uzuhiko being tied to the planet. It should be an ability Boruto can charge up on his own. Even if he’s resisting using his karma and Ōtsutsuki stuff he shouldn’t lack this much potency. However it’s still salvageable if we view this version of Uzuhiko as a pure ninjutsu version and there is a much more powerful and complete shinjutsu version, which makes me think back to that one Shibai panel.

Ikemoto’s lack of creativity when it comes to these fights is concerning. To the point it seems he’s purposely resisting elaborate abilities, as usual we can only hope for the future. At the very least if he was going to keep Boruto and Jura’s fight this short and straightforward he shouldn’t have spent 40 pages on it.

What a divine cover.

this manga wouldn't even be that bad if the pacing was faster

What is love?

Baby, don't hurt me

One thing i really like Boruto as a character is that he doesn't try "TNJ" the enemy.

When Jura asked about love i was already expected two pages of Boruto explaining what is love and all that "power of friendship" bullshit.

It’s ironic and hilarious how Sumire copes in the same way Jura cope does. That love is a weakness that leaves exposure and Boruto must “logically” stay away from Sarada to protect her and others he cares about. While in actuality it’s the opposite: Boruto, and Sarada, derive strength from love despite the contingencies. Boruto happily fought alongside Sarada against Hidari while Sumire was drooling on the floor. These past 2 chapters go to show that Boruto and Sarada are just going to get even closer to each together and will probably fight together again soon.

So, Jura´s shinjutsu work like the bijuu bomb/rasengan huh?

Well yeah Boruto’s actions have been a walking contradiction to Sumire’s rant. She only said that stuff because she’s a jelly slut. Except last chapter removed all the contingency from Sarada’s end since she’s magically powerful enough now to compete with everybody. So now it’s nothing but a clear road and skies for Boruto and Sarada to get together and passionately have sex. Just as Ikemoto intended.

Meanwhile Sumire….

pinkshit

delusional

sasuga

Boruto thread

Dead thread

Jiren enter to sve this thread.

Sumire sure is lucky.

Everyone is busy reading the manga to care.

Sarada was obviously going to get a power up but unexpectedly Ikemoto front loaded it so she can be relevant throughout TBV I guess. Sumire is stuck in the role people thought Sarada was going to be stuck in. Kawaki’s personal crybaby pocket pussy. Kinda like Sakura but without the bitching and slapping.

Interesting. I agree. I don’t think Sumire is unreasonable or outright WRONG but she isn’t suited for Boruto and with the context of the latest chapter her lashing out at Sarada comes across as even more petty and immature than before when before I gave her more benefit of the doubt. She should just sit things out, she just doesn’t seem mature enough for romance in general. I think an off screened epilogue pairing would be best for her if she’s meant to pair up.

What did you think of the Ikemoto Q&A? I thought it was disappointing.

KawaSumi is SasuSaku

Grim

we finally got to know kawaki's favorite dessert flavor, so all is well

There was no way the Q&A was going to have anything truly interesting. I’m disappointed Momoshiki’s future sight got retconned into a nothingburger. At the same time I’m kinda happy Boruto didn’t get it in retrospect. Having it would remove too his personality and decision making way too much. KK’s future sight is really dry to me and I can’t wait for him to kick the bucket.

It only works because Sarada can get magically powerful in an instant due to live like all Uchiha. Sumire's rant is for normal people.

literally me aura

It comes across as someone who doesn't know how the plot device eye works. Naruto's generation didn't no either so Boruto's generation doesn't know. There are barely any Uchiha's left unless you count the Shins with their discount Sharigan.

Most important panel of the chapter.

Damn, we waited a month for it to end pretty much where it started.

I'd rather read the Yashahime manga which is actually good and the art isn't shit

Kawaki is getting with Eida though.

Oh yeah that relationship is actually abusive with him threatening her.

God I hate ikemoto

Somehow Ikeomoto hasn't figured out that he needs to pace the manga differently on a monthly schedule. The panelwork and pacing feels more appropriate for a weekly manga.

Breaking habits is hard when you are old.

This abortion makes GT and Super look like masterpieces.

Color pages look more and more like a delinquent manga.

I was re watching the OG anime the other day, and I still liked it, despite its glaring flaws.
Inu and Kagome were such a good couple (though kagome did a lot of heavy lifting), I wish more mangas had strong romances like that.

Is yashahime actually good? I didn't hear good things about it.

Ikemoto seems to be inspired by high fashion, kinda like jojo, which I hear he's a fan of.

They did another parallel between Jura and Jigen/Isshiki. When he said he has a bad habit of getting too excited when fighting someone strong, it's the same as when Jigen beat the shit out of Naruto and Sasuke and called it his bad habit because he expended too much chakra.

Makes thread without the intention of dumping the chapter or posting the link

Why make the thread in the first place you dumb motherfucker?

Eida is kind of a bitch and she’s technically powerful so I guess she’s better matched than Sumire. Sumire might be kind of a petty jelly simp but she’s still nicer and deserves better.

Kawaki really isn’t likable enough now to merit a love interest and I’m skeptical he can be improved enough to warrant one.

Who’s ready for yandere Sarada?

Is that omnipotence?

Don't pop a vein trying too hard, bro.

I would even say this is a better manga than One Piece. That's probably the truth you're afraid to hear.

I feel like Ikemoto is ready to go weekly but Jump is holding him back since Boruto is the only reason people buy the magazine now that DBS is on a indefinite haiatus

Ikemoto

Weekly

He'll never be competent enough for that schedule.

So wtf even is Sarada's Mangekyo ability? Multiple kamui portals?

Literally what makes you think that?

Kind of, but she can select what they attract. So she can choose herself, or her enemies, or their jutsu. It’s more versatile than the long-range Kamui.

Black holes. You literally saw Ryu's body bend. That shot was precisely there for dumb shits like you to stop calling them portals.

Once I started reading it I realized how tricky Q&As can be and how much of a trap they can be because you need to be really mindful of what you answer. I thought the Q&A was harmful in a sort of meta narrative level. You are correct that nothing interesting will be revealed meaning that what does get revealed is ultimately inconsequential and will not be expanded upon because it shows that the writer doesn’t have the time or interest to show the answers in manga format. Himawari’s living situation disinterests Ikemoto, Daemon’s reaction to her feels like a nothingburger now too. It overall comes across like Ikemoto is careless.

The good questions/answers were the ones about the sibling’s character designs and Jura’s notebooks.

Seems like gravity control

I know people like to hate on this manga but i do like how much Boruto has grown. The artist has also improved a lot compared to the beginning, while his biggest problem is still the pacing.

Why does Naruto's son mog him?

Read the last chapter slowly.

Alright, this was soulfull as fuck.

He was fed on Hinata’s giant milk tanks. Naruto probably only had baby formula

Jura is mountain level at best.

the background

JOUGAN BROS WE’RE BACK!

We never left, it was shown on the last episode of TV Boruto.

Now, more than ever, I am convinced it is Jōver

Daemon vs Jura
who would win?

What makes me skeptical about KawaAda is that her plot-line is seemingly her realizing she's too good for Kawaki.
Like you straight up have the characters essentially telling her she deserves better, something completely unheard of in setting, which is funny because Kawaki was never as morally bad as Sasuke was in his edgy phase.
It could still be a red herring though so my doubt isn't 100%.

You fags really lost the plot, eh?
Also

Ikemoto once again using a stock background and overlaying a character on top of it.

There's still no answer for Daemon's abilities, Jura can be hit and injured so unless he has the immunity to Eida and Daemon like Otsutsuki do then Daemon would probably win by default.

Jura unironically tanked this

That was some grade A bullshit.

This should’ve never been a monthly manga

Dunno why I clicked
I don't wanna talk about Boruto and I did not read this chapter

Ikemoto's lazy.

he cancelled the rasengan effect
i think the way uzuhiko works is by rotating opponent mind/brain so it'll cause destruction sense of balance and diminishing motor skills

I can't believe this jobber would job to the most basic Boruto enemy.

Think of his poor wrists anon...

Boruto is my favorite male anime character.

Flying Raijin doesn't work on long distance, especially in clutch situations

What about that one time Minato used it across half the continent? To safe Guy from Madara's orbs in a split second?

What makes me skeptical about KawaAda is that her plot-line is seemingly her realizing she's too good for Kawaki

It’s not that, exactly. It’s that she’s finally contemplating giving up on him after 3 years of him giving zero fucks about her. There’s a zero percent chance of them getting together for the sole fact that she is an ayy. Sumire has a small chance because she’s the only character that hasn’t been disingenuous to him and he actually seems to give a tiny inkling of care about what she think of him. Not to mention Ikemoto frequently correlates them with each other. So it’s either Kawaki dies a fag or lives long enough to rape Sumire.

It’s so fucking tragic that /bort/ is dead and Anon Babble was down for Sarada’s ms chapter. It would’ve been the perfect month for prime shitposting /bort/. Especially since she was all “fuck sumire”

Don’t forget what Ikemoto said

It would have been one of the biggest threads since the original Sarada vs Sumire chapter. I feel like the romance threads are a lot more active than usual.

No wonder Jura is confused.

I just made another Bleach hate thread.

Imagine this is your mom

Did you mean to post this in the /dbs/ thread? /bort/ posters are neutral to Bleach.

Goddamn how hold is Boruto now?

It’s crazy to think this thread is nearly 8 years old and the story just finally started directly addressing romance

cuckwaki is losing Eida to Boruto

FTFY

15

16

Why would Naruto and Hinata dress their daughter in a short skirt with thigh highs?

The youth wear clothes like that now.

The Yashahime anime sucks but the manga is great. Rin helps defeat the final villain by shooting it in the face with a gun

16

It's 15, Boruto was admittedly still 12 by the time NNG ended.

And show me your source that he’s 15 thank you very much

In the current manga he should be 15 but the flash forward scene sheet from 2017 says he's 16.

You’re assuming this is like shippuden where Naruto transitioned from 15 to 17. But it’s likely TBV will be short and Boruto already looks pretty old. 16 is a safe bet especially since the timeskip started right next to his birthday.

He was a manlet in that sheet though

I forget sometimes that Metal Lee is actually related to Rock Lee and isn't just an anime friend of Boruto like Denki. He isn't even in TBV after almost 2 years.

Boruto was 12 when NNG ended in the manga

Manga states 3 years passed since then

Cmon now.

Metal Lee is actually related to Rock Lee

What I thought was he was some random kid, like how Gai and Lee aren't related to each other.

To be honest it's probably best to ignore information that older than a certain point since they changed the direction of the story.

I was agreeing with you and also explaining how people think he's 16.

EXACTLY 3 YEARS

Seriously

Behead purplecucks.

It's happening and there are those who refuse to accept it.

Kawaki is getting with Sumire

The fact that Kashin Koji is full doomer concerning Jura implies Daemon also loses to him.

Pretty sure Ikemoto forgot about Daemon

How can you sincerely draw this and not kill yourself, so fucking gaudy lmao

Ikemoto Q&A.

I don't want to read anything from him that isn't a suicide note.

Really answering those hard-hitting questions. Bravo Ikemoto

And now he's 16

Momoshiki's future sight is not Shinjutsu and is just a personal ability and can only see bits and pieces of the future and is inferior to Prescience.

This is an aggressive retcon.

Nobody ever asks about why Sarada and Sumire are immune or about the unknown Otsutsuki characters from part 1.

Ikemoto Q&A.

Is this recent ?

He couldn’t see his own fate and was proven wrong by Boruto not losing hope

Yes, it was in V-Jump with the chapter.

This makes me feel really bad about Ikemoto’s story planning because it does feel like a retcon even though it arguably isn’t. And if it isn’t then there isn’t really anything cool about how Boruto was able to pull that feat.

The biggest retcon about it to me is that it's not considered Shinjutsu. What is it then? Momoshiki's schizophrenia?

what growing up without a father does to a girl. Ikepedo might know women almost as much as Kishisama.

Still nowhere near the retcon level of Daemon’s palm shit

If he wants to save this manga he should probably switch it to a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. The reason anyone could put up with Naruto is because it moved fast enough and came out fast enough that you didn't mind reading it each week, you were "invested" after awhile. Boruto moves so slow that you don't have that effect anymore to rely on.

I don’t know what made them think people wanted to know more about the inner working of boruto. Hell not even boruto fans want to see more of boruto take a look at this boruto story time hour

weebcentral.com/chapters/01JVQ3SP509TTV20PB92TRQR1F

I miss Kodachi.

Did you even read the chapter. It’s 40 pages for 2 rasengans. There’s nothing worth posting outside of individual panels.

holy hell Kikyo's sister is still alive?

Exactly. The detail just isn’t consistent with what Ikemoto is telling us which just bolsters to argument that he’s making things up as he goes along.

The manga doesn’t deserve /bort/

I would like to see him at some point discuss what he would've done with the timeskip but the guy apparently doesn't like to talk about his past works.

I knew the chapter was going to be boring since nobody bothered to leak it early. Notice how the chapter with Sarada's MS first being used was leaked immediately.

It's stated as such, no reason to believe otherwise.
Besides, you know how Ikemoto is, Naruto was also 15 at the start of part 2.

How can Daemon sense someone's DNA?

He’s 16 bud

It’s not literal. Ikemoto is saying Hima with Kurama is more powerful than Naruto with Kurama.

Proof?

Hima reeks

You Saradacucks are still forcing this shit? Get a life, this is so pathetic.

it's afraid

Common sense. TBV isn’t stretching a 2 year timeline like Shippuden, the conflict will happen in less than 2 weeks. And unless we get a birthday chapter then he’s 16 already. Also 16 is the ripe age to lose virginity to Uchiha puss.

no it’s just in the anime and manga

Says the one seething by said shit

whorada will never have Boruto though. his interests lies elsewhere.

Tracemoto

If he didn't mention Sarada and Sumire's immunity but mentions Himawari's potential, this just tells you that Himawari has served her purpose in this story and will not do anything meaningful.

Two characters that absolutely hate each other

Yeah your mexican youtube thumbnails really matter in this discussion of the canon manga, eidashitter

I blame this entirely on studio perriot they tried to make their own ships again just because Kishimoto rolled over for them the first time not happening this time which is probably why they refuse to adapt the rest of the manga, they could have done it this year, Bleach isn't airing and speaking of Bleach those dumb sons of bitches and their Ichiruki nonsense has caused so much uneeded flame wars I hate them

they refuse to adapt the rest of the manga, they could have done it this year

When the Sarada chapter came out last month people were posting about it being confirmed to be in production.

You're assuming Ikemoto really cares about this stuff.

Should would be in her early 80's by this point so it's not that surprising

Purplecucks have to cope with her literally and figuratively being cucked by salad boldly hugging the love of their lives in front of her.

I'm becoming convinced that Ikemoto still doesn't exactly know why Sarada and Sumire are immune.

they refuse to adapt the rest of the manga, they could have done it this year

All 4 volumes of it that have come out since the previous adaptation.

That is an edit from the anime where she hugs Bort

She will have one hype moment like Konohamaru

Them being related to Eida would be the easiest and funniest explanation

Would be really funny if the reason is never revealed in the manga, like with Isshiki's doujutsu.

How badly do you think Sumire seethed here when Eida asked Sarada about Boruto instead of her?

You gotta keep these cards open for the day you need to through down some bullshit to dig you out of a writing hole.

like with Isshiki's doujutsu.

That's the shittiest thing about the Boruto manga. Most of the worldbuilding is designated to outside material like the anime, the Naruto website, or interviews.

Well, it has to be love because that is the whole theme of Naruto and Boruto. I'm guessing he doesn't know an interesting way to explain it without it feeling forced, which is impossible for Ikemoto to do.
She might do Twin Lion Fist, and then she will job like what happened last time. Or she might use Kurama to revive Boruto.

Probably a lot, but I think it’s because of her abnormal upbringing. Kind of like Naruto’s sasuke obsession. Maybe she thinks only Bort could love someone like her

Sumire, Ada and Daemon being distant relatives of the Harunos would be a sight to behold.

Otsutsuki SakuyaGODs will be eating GOOD if that was the case.

Sakura is affected, though, so I doubt it. Unless Ikemoto will just suddenly reveal that she actually isn't.

Maybe she thinks only Bort could love someone like her

That’s a very astute observation. She’s lonely as shit. She has no notable friends, family, and lives alone. Getting called class rep doesn’t help at all. Boruto is the one positive outlook in her life and yet he’s only a pipe dream.

I love my pink wife.

Does anybody else get the feeling Ikemoto is setting up Sumire to witness Boruto and Sarada’s first kiss in the ultimate cuck moment? There’s absolutely no way he has Sumire and Sarada’s talk it out. He tends to avoid meaningful 1 on 1 conversations at all cost. He’s going to blow Sumire’s brains out.

cuckold fantasies

Saradacuck, that is clearly not going to happen, but you need your shitty cuckold fantasies.

Burn, Saradacuckold.

projecting

Sumire’s cuck reputation is never going away

The OG series would have really benefitted from the gang visiting Sakura's house and parents. Like they go there after every mission to sit down and have a meal together over there and hang out. Would have been a good contrast from Naruto and Sasuke being orphans and maybe even another motivator to Sasuke thinking he's gone soft and needs to leave.

I will laugh when the kiss chapter comes out and Sumire is the one who wins. I can't wait to see you passive-aggressive saradacucks be put in your place.

Every few years the perception of who is "winning" shifts.

do you guys think you have it in your hearts to forgive Tite Kubo?

When Boruto landed on Sunagakure.

Are we forcing a rivalry between Bleach and Boruto?

The Two Blue Vortex

Uzuhiko and Ohirume

that german sheppard that just wanted to chill

I don't really care because before Boruto ended they were having production issues and we were getting legit unfinished episodes and reused animation.

If it had kept going we'd have more memes like Bort crying for random people to spam.

They should’ve ended it after 219. There were already visible problems in the Ao arc.

are you implying the -immense- success of Bleach TYBW was not the reason the Boruto anime was flushed down the toilet in a very disrespectful manner?

Bleach dropped out of tv tokyo's top 5 most profitable anime while Boruto took number 1. Bleach fans have been on a warpath against Bort fans ever since.

I mean, SP was already shitting themselves before Boruto even aired. Anyways, this is the second time Bleach vs. Boruto is mentioned in this thread.
I only see Bleach vs. Boruto in these threads, but I don't really go in Bleach threads at all, so it might be different.

I feel like /dbs/ is the place to go to try to bait about Bleach. The Giselle and Rukia posters already have them enraged.

Thank God, they got rid of SHITailed least.

Top BoruSara moments /bort/ is looking forward to

combining Uzuhiko and Ohirume to create a death beam vortex

generally styling on enemies together showcasing the duo they were always to be

hand holding panel

flying around the village together Aladdin style

first kiss

birthday celebration (fingers crossed)

beach/pool episode (fingers crossed)

embarrassing fanservice moments, such as Boruto accidentally walking in on Sarada with her shirt off

What else am I missing

the fuck is this tokyio revengers homo shit

Sarada's hokage inauguration with Boruto right beside her.

remember when the anime tried to pretend Sakura had sex appeal by focusing on her ass sometimes even through the girl has no curves to speak of not as a 12 year old, not as teenager and not as an adult

-immense- success

lol.

That’s kinda far into the future like eos, I’m looking at relatively near future

Jobbing to BlackClover

To be fair, the Bleach anime has a bigger barrier of entry than Boruto, which is mostly a SoL in the Naruto world.

Power couple

Boruto and Sarada are the most developed Narutoverse pairing and they have the most positive interactions by far.

Conversely Eida and Kawaki is the most negative in the entire series.

Sumire is the cuck though, which is why you’re posting fanart and not manga scenes of her getting cucked or Boruto not giving a single shit about her

Eh Kawaki gave Eida the luxury of living with him, unlike Sasuke with Sakura WHICH IS STILL AN ISSUE TO THIS DAY BTW

I will laugh when the kiss chapter comes out and Sumire is the one who wins

and she kisses Kawaki

Sakura pulled a second house out of nowhere in between Gaiden ending and Bort starting and the Uchiha District was left as a smoking crater, Sasuke doesn’t have a home to let her use

I hate love triangles because one character I like is always going to end up sad.

what color is your bluray?
