Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Chapter 22 thread

IMG_7563.jpg - 800x1000, 141.35K

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

62647843.jpg - 980x550, 92.87K

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.

short shorts.jpg - 232x419, 35.34K

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.

hautecouture.jpg - 736x1104, 100.94K

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?

IMG_7566.jpg - 1638x2048, 294.79K

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!

IMG_7567.jpg - 1402x2048, 218.67K

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?

0677-015.jpg - 2133x1600, 963.85K

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.

Boruto's jutsu is not Minato's Flying Raijin. We learned this several chapters ago, they don't work the same way. They just call it Flying Raijin because of what it looks like.

minato teleported using an object that he had already marked
boruto teleported using chakra that he detected either from an object or a person

Is nobody going to bite this? I was anticipating some good (you)s

They released a chart not too long ago comparing Boruto and Minato’s ftg. Boruto can only teleport to metallic objects and long distances take time.

Boruto FR is more like IT from Dragon Ball.

I want Kawaki and Eida and Daemon and Amado to all die

Kawaki is Naruto's claimed son and Boruto doesn't want to kill him so there's almost no chance of him dying.

Eida is a 50/50 chance but she is also Kawaki's main love interest.

Amado is probably one of the secret final villains so he'll most certainly die.

Kawaki and Eida's children will have disgusting hair colors.

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”

IMG_7521.jpg - 766x771, 249.82K

Don’t forget what Ikemoto said

TRUTH.png - 1277x543, 805.71K

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.

Sarada.jpg - 800x800, 81.82K

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

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

Really answering those hard-hitting questions. Bravo Ikemoto

IMG_8599.jpg - 1280x720, 107.6K

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

IMG_2872.jpg - 1152x1581, 865.07K

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

47r7i94.gif - 480x270, 2.05M

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.

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?

IMG_1312.jpg - 1124x1670, 673.85K

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.

love3.png - 2048x1536, 2.84M

I love my pink wife.

file.png - 1920x1080, 2.48M

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?

owatta.jpg - 904x1084, 334.64K

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.

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

IMG_7568.jpg - 1448x2048, 264.82K

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.

Boruto's last bluray came out like years ago and somehow it's outselling bleach.

KawaEida is healthier than SasuSaku

kek

Mitsuki is cucked too but nobody ever mentions him.

Really speaks volumes about Bleach if Boruto of all things is mogging it.

The SasuSaku being the most toxic relationship meme will never die.

file.png - 500x277, 151.5K

Why are we (literally) consolewarring here? I just want to have a nice shipping thread.

if Boruto of all things is mogging it.

borutosales.png

This reminds me of an idea I had for TBV. The manga takes a break from fighting and Boruto is finally able to relax and uneasily roam the village. But he doesn’t stay at his old house because it’s too uncomfortable. So Sarada takes him in as she’s his only ally and that’s his only place of safety. There’s no guest room or anything so he sleeps on her floor only for her to quickly invite him up to the bed. Come on Ikemoto don’t fuck with me.

There's no way he mentioned the Bleach game. The game is so dead that it only has 100 people playing it.

Shippuden destroyed their positive relationship.

it's crazy how Bleach can be forced into relevancy and still can't outsell black clover, not even close to Boruto

outsell

you are coping in revenue.

Sasuke repeatedly tries to murder all of his friends, stabbed his teammate through the gut, and no one holds any of it against him, he’s just written like shit. Him calling her pathetic and saying he has no reason to love her is genuinely a weird writing choice when you know he’s marrying her at the end of the series

He shouldn’t exist. Sumire should have been the third team member.

During the Bort hiatus I actually watched Black Clover because I remembered people talking about it in these threads. I liked the characters but the arc about the elves was way too long.

Vanessa was my favorite and I would have loved to see more about her and the Witch Queen.

That would make the love triangle even worse and sumire even more pitiful

But they brought it back at the end. It's Kishimoto's fault for not giving Sakura and Sasuke their own time, and no, the novels don't count, and if they did, they didn't do anything, nor did they give us anything about their relationship to stop the shonentards from keeping their shitty headcanon status quo meme from dying.
Sasuke is a mentally ill retard who saw his own brother kill a bunch of kids and his own family members, of course Sasuke will go crazy and say stupid shit. lol

file.png - 700x494, 469.85K

Tsubakibros, are we still here?

Sakura having no reason to love Sasuke isn’t stupid, it’s true. Kishimoto called it totally arbitrary at the start of the series and his best attempt at changing that was having the antisocial porn-reader say “damn Sakura your love sure has changed”

Here I was thinking Kawaki and Sumire would develop a sweet endearing slow burn relationship but now it appears Sumire will unironically straight up fucking rebound. I can see her getting pent up after seeing Boruto and Sarada kiss and later in the day just spontaneously pecking Kawaki on the lips because fuck it she has nothing to lose, she doesn’t care anymore she just wants to feel something. How up is reboundcoin right now?

Okay, no more (You)s after this one. You had your fun. Everyone thought or knew this game was a scam from day one.
Damn It feels like it's Groundhog's Day. I've seen this post before. I've seen this take before...

Denying reality

Bleach bro. 7th place isn't that bad

She's an ascended filler character, anon. There is no "should've been" for her, she's lucky to even be in the manga at all.

reality

does your reality come with a date?

Saradacuck got bored and started to consolewarfag.

I told you how pathetic this creature is.

GODrada out of NOWHERE

Everyone thought or knew this game was a scam from day one.

Naruto Mobile is in the top 10 of the most successful android games. i don't see boruto on the cover of that one either.

They all got a shot of Shibai DNA

I think Hinata's love for Naruto was extremely badly written. I wish they had more development and they just spent more time together. It would have been cool if between arcs Naruto and Hinata would just do shit together, that would have been really nice.

At the same time, people complain that Naruto didn't really notice her until much later yet at the same time complain she had no screentime or anything. Maybe Naruto didn't notice her that much for that very reason? That she just wasn't around that much. Meanwhile Sakura was in his face constantly so obviously his first crush would be easily more directed towards her.

I do wish though that they justified Hinata's love a little better. Hinata seriously loves Naruto for like 10 years straight and never ever gets any reciprocation until they're like, grown ups. Even seemingly somewhat accepting when Sakura has her scene with him after he beats Pain, that just gives me the impression that Hinata wouldn't mind being cucked as long as it's Naruto. I know Hinata is supposed to that perfect wife trope but it's not that believable to me that Hinata is just that loyal for so long while Naruto just outright ignores her advances.

It's funny, it's like Naruto is Hinata's Sasuke. People bitch at Sakura because she is so loyal to Sasuke after so long and all he's done but Hinata slobs over Naruto for way longer. Granted Naruto is actually a nice guy but still, the guy has done for her. I don't think he even told her thank you for risking her life for him. That Pain scene was so fucking pointless in retrospect, what's the point in having that confession if it's never addressed? Naruto straight up ignores her confession for years. Kishi wanted her to be the heroine but he doesn't follow up on anything, goddamn what shit writing.

The manga readers get the bad version of Sumire.

In the anime she is devoted to Boruto because he saved her but still loves Sarada too. She has her own friends and is generally popular with most young characters and Shino.

I appreciate your word pasta I really do but this is a Boruto thread so do the same thing but for a Boruto ship please

P-Please let me watch STACYmire.

that seething mutt that ends up belly up is the pinkshit is this analogy btw

Sakura never wanted Naruto though. She wanted Sasuke, and she won.

IMG_8604.jpg - 784x1145, 101.04K

She moved to the lab 1/3 into the anime and became friendless and only capable of superficial relationships. She has a neat backstory but let’s not pretend the manga is some great departure from the anime. She very much is the same person.

Sarada, the emotional cuck who is always crying
vs
Sumire, the poker-face QUEEN who is hard to read.

Here is your CANON sumicuck panel

i hate the born yesterday genius villain trope.
i hate the arrogant talking down to everyone villain trope.
i also hate the "what is human emotions" villain trope.

ikemoto pls.

Why Boruto reacted like an imbecile before a simple question with no ill intent behind?

He was born yesterday but he’s not a genius or arrogant. He genuinely wants to learn shit. I’ll easily take Jura over fucking Chode.

Why would it, Boruto still doesn’t give a shit about Whoreida

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

So why make a boruto story time hour if your there’s no intention on posting the character? It’s bad enough that a thread died for this they should have just called it the boruto discussion thread or something.

Everyone is busy reading the manga to care.

i chuckled.

All of this would be fine if 'ruto mocked him more.

Code is like, intentionally made to be a joke villain. So I'm not really bothered by him.

But Daemon can't fly.

Is that faggot a ninja or a pirate?

pinkshit

Seethe more, bitch.

sk-335.jpg - 504x609, 35.92K

Pretty high, it's too late for the alternative. Nothing happened in NNG, nothing happened during the timeskip and even now Sumire is still seething over Bort so I don't think it matters what Ikemoto writes it is absolutely gonna come across like her rebounding.

He might do something like 'they denied their feelings the whole time' but it will still look like a rebound. Unironically the most romance development Sumire has is with Sarada because by Ikemoto's logic proof of love is doing risky dramatic things for the target of affection and Sumire has ONLY put herself at risk for Sarada (multiple times).

Boruto’s FTG is awful compared to the real thing, I legitimately cannot think of a single thing it does better than the real thing.

coping by pretending the image isn't real

Bleach simply isn't popular in japan. it's niche.

IMO this is basically proof that the reason Sarada and Sumire is love. TBV revolves around the theme of love.

Naruto hadn't been sealed away yet, Daemon felt the 'FUTURE SYNERGY' meaning that things in the future can affects things in the past in this story meaning . . . Sarada and Sumire can be immune due to FUTURE SYNERGY (love) if they pair up with Bort and Kawaki.

Why the fuck is this faggot wearing some kind of bra?

in japan

the cope continues. it happens with immense success.

She’ll be fine, with them tied down she can begin seducing Boruto and/or Sarada

Kawaki x Sumire isn't happening period. You fell for a crackship.

She’s always been a bit of a BoruSara fan, wanting that kind of affection for herself and Kawaki. She’d probably masturbate while watching them make out with her jougan.

Manga Sumire is only Sumire in name. You can edit her design and change her name, but keep everything the same and you wouldn't know the difference

Daemon…

All that ad space needed and it still can't crack top 5

money sink.

It's not even the Flying Raijin. It's just called that for simplicity's sack. Boruto is just using Otsutsuki Space-Time jutsu. But this funnily implies that the jutsu Tobirama created is more efficient than the Otsutsuki's.

It’s in the anime and manga though

Moroha was the only good thing that happened.

*Setsuna and Towa

I think it would have been for the best for her to have a different name and design

Eida is already one foot out the door with Kawaki this would just confirm her suspicions. Kinda sad for her but hey if Ikemoto is willing to pair up Hima and Inojin then Code is right around the corner.

Boruto is getting with Eida
Sumire is getting with Sarada.
Kawaki is getting a sword to the heart.

pair up Hima and Inojin

Himawari is 13 years old you idiot.

Still coping when Ikemoto is 100% going to have Ada win everything.

Yuri ending

That would be too based.

the contention is that maybe it could happen in the future albeit badly, hence the 'rebound' pejorative. I think purplefag is the only one left that still likes the idea of this pairing I otherwise don't see much motion for it anymore after they made Kawaki SO unappealing, he doesn't even look good anymore.

Funny, but Kawaki is Boruto’s beloved brother. It would sooner be revealed his Karma was affecting his emotions or someone used shinjutsu to make him evil or something stupider than killing him off.

Most people only shipped KawaSumi to get people to move away from BoruSumi, but since Sumire's crash out in front of Sarada, Kawaki being a constant jackass, and the recent chapters with Sarada, they don't need to ship it anymore, but there are some who still fell for the gaslight who are likely going to be in for a rude awakening down the line.

Anyone it find it funny how Ikemoto will talk about Boruto, Kawaki, Sarada, Ada, Daemon, Himawari, Code, Jura, but not Sumire?

It’s almost like we ship it because we believe in it

Sumire has a big chapter coming soon, I bet it will be chapter 25, where Sumire's subplot gets a big reveal.

In theory it could be interesting but we know nothing interesting happens in Bort. Personally though I would REALLY hate if Eida ended up with Code especially as a rebound over KawaSumi. Eida still mostly sucks and I truly disliked her at first but now I think she's the female character with the most depth. Kawaki sucks too but he isn't as bad as Code. Code's possessiveness and incel shit is extremely repugnant to me because he has never shown any self reflection, at least Kawaki acknowledges he is a bad person. I would rather Eida DIE than end up with Code.

I think he just isn't that invested in her character but he still needs her around for plot reasons. He's obviously very keen on Eida because this is the second interview where he's chosen to talk about her.

Because Sumire’s rebound is one of the big plot twists of the story. The same reason Ikemoto spent this “Q&A” on nothingburger questions. He can’t and won’t reveal anything pertaining to the future of the plot.

He's obviously very keen on Eida because this is the second interview where he's chosen to talk about her.

Yet there is still this delusional insistence that she'll be cucked. Lmao.

Eida will likely die before making any big decisions

Yes, I'm sure Sumire is SO important that Ikemoto is trying to keep everything about her under wraps despite freely talking about the actual major characters...

Naruto himself was cucked

He's obviously very keen on Eida because this is the second interview where he's chosen to talk about her.

They were both clothing related though. I would hardly consider it significant. The former being a juxtaposition to Sarada who actually has meaning behind her clothing choices.

And?

Yeah I’ve sold all Nuecoin, it kind of seems like the perfect opportunity to establish her as a combatant has already passed

Because the story makes her a cuck

I would hardly consider it significant.

It's more significant than not being mentioned at all like Sumire. Kek.

I remember this theory back when /bort/ was still schizoposting and honestly it makes a lot of sense if the intent is to eventually redeem Kawaki desuarchive.org/a/thread/250172686/#250190492

there was once a lot of speculation about that very topic, I'd forgotten all about that theory but it can still work

People still read this thing?

If this Q&A is anything to go by he’s only talking about the stuff that doesn’t actually matter

no we mostly just complain about it

Maybe it says more about current One Piece but I unironically think Boruto is better than it now.

I remember this theory, but I doubt Ikemoto would do that since it would take away too much agency from Kawaki.

He didn't mention her in the interview in France and still didn't mention her in the Q&A. He doesn't give a shit about Sumire, dude. She's just there to push Sarada closer to Boruto.

Of the recent Q&A its one of the only good responses because it's the only thing that fits the format well. Q&As should not be spent on important plot points or SoL of past events but things like design processes are great for the format because there is no good way to fit that into the story and it helps readers develop a fuller sense of the characters. On a meta sense it does show that he does in fact care for these characters and is excited to tell you a little of the thought process behind them because he did think about them.

There's no good reason for why he hasn't said anything about Sumire which is why it makes me think he doesn't care about her. I don't think either really says anything about the endgame pairings though.

yes but if he cares about redeeming Kawaki that might be more important than giving him agency

I do not envy SP for having to figure out how to square the anime continuity with where the manga went because how the fuck are they supposed to explain away Nue?

She's just there to push Sarada closer to Boruto

And to suck off Kawaki. Sorry but I’ll take the actual manga content of Ikemoto consistently keeping Sumire in the plot and maintaining a connection with Kawaki over interview cope not meant to reveal anything more than fun facts, except of course that Eida’s relationship with Kawaki is broken.

Sumire is a tragic tale. Nobody really cares about her. Sarada isn't really that close to her and Sumire herself knows that. We've seen Boruto emotionally invested in the people he knows, but when Sumire spoke to him he was like "Oh, hey." and that was it. The only reason Kawaki even speaks to this girl is because she works with Amado and Amado thinks she's an idiot. And unintentionally by the anime, when Sumire got replaced by Tsubaki, her team barely even talked to her anymore. Sumire is just a girl of convenience to everybody.

I think it just indicates that she probably won't die

I mean she could still be Neji'd for BoruSara or killed for Akebi

Delusion: The Post. It's not happening.

Everything Sumire has done intentionally and unintentionally has worked towards Kawaki’s benefit. She’s never yelled at him, got angry at him, or hit him. There’s nothing gentler and sweeter than ripe purple pussy.

IMG_6858.jpg - 1284x1722, 787.1K

Why are Jura's bijuu bombs so damn small? That shit is 4 tails Naruto size. He's a 10 tails.

I want to know the story of scruffy and how he became top dog. What a chad, rolls up and every bends the knee for him.

Why does she still care about Kawaki when Sarada completely hates his guts? He’s done enough horrible things to warrant it. But she hasn’t told him off. She even understood why he killed Boruto, which no one else besides his family could.

Yes, she's the perfect person to arrange the wedding between Kawaki and Eida.

Its true and yet I think that all happened completely by accident I don't think any of the writers were intending this interpretation. I think Sumire's character assassination is honestly the worst I have ever seen and I feel bad for her fans.

Can't wait for this to be animated.

He likes to use them as bullets to snipe people. He can make them big if he wants to, but he doesn't since that'll destroy too much of the area.

I mean she could still be Neji'd for BoruSara or killed for Akebi

We have to maintain a minimum amount of hope for Sumire. All the doomer dialogue is surrounding Eida which gives Sumire a solid chance at happiness.
Would she still sweat?

I like this idea a lot. I remember it being proposed in past /nart/ threads. At this point I am completely convinced that /nart/ and /bort/ could have written a better Nart and Bort than what we actually got.

All the doomer dialogue is surrounding Eida

Where? There is none of that in the manga.

Relax, Sumire, I’m totally sane.

Take note. This so far is the nicest Kawaki has been to anyone in TBV. He even told Mitsuki and Hima to fuck off.

Kawaki routinely stresses his intentions to murder all aliens, is the idea that he’ll return Eida’s feelings after Boruto beats him up and talk no jutsu’s him? Because he’s kind of a dick to her

Her conversation with Mitsuki, the fact that Mamushi is after her, etc. Do you even read?

is the idea that he’ll return Eida’s feelings after Boruto beats him up and talk no jutsu’s him?

Happened with Sasuke.

Mamushi is obviously being set up to fight Daemon. She's not dying. Ikemoto already admitted he doesn't like killing characters. Why on earth will he kill Ada, his waifu?

Eida I never stood a chance for the sole fact that she is an ayy. Kawaki admitted as much.

I think this is why I don't really like it I still think the most beleivable pairing for him out of any naruto/boruto girl is Tayuya. Maybe it isn't very optimistic but someone trashy who would be willing to get into domestics with him seems believable to me lol

If Sumire went villainess I think it would work better like anon suggested. Right now she's just way too good for his ass. It's like a game of hot potato but instead of a potato its a live grenade. There's genuinely nothing appealing about Kawaki right now.

Why on earth will he kill Ada, his waifu?

And how many covers has she gotten? Let’s be real Sarada is his waifu

Eida will not die and she will not be paired off, she will live in celibacy and remain pure for Ikemoto

Yeah but Sakura was kind of divorced from his grievances with the world or avenging his clan, this kind of sounds like if he married Danzo

/nart/

You mean the obnoxious shitpost restroom from 2024 that drove people away or do you mean further back?

further back, like the threads from 2022 and 2023

Why on earth will he kill Ada, his waifu?

So no one will defile her and she’ll remain pure forever?

I think they’re both pathetic in their own way

IMG_7421.jpg - 1440x2012, 275.23K

Ah, I see. Yeah, a lot of creativity was put into Naruto and Boruto's settings in threads back than they they would ever actually get officially.

A fate worse than death. That’s why she will probably die. After getting raped by Mamushi of course.

It was probably me posting the same shit back then lmao. And we have the huge benefit of hindsight and seeing what works and what doesn't while Kishi was flying by the seat of his pants week to week trying to juggle a million characters and plotlines. I won't defend Bort's writing though. The people working on it learned absolutely nothing from Nart and took all the wrong things forward.

guys do you know what is the absolute worst thing about boruto.
naruto just doesn't feel right. he doesn't feel like naruto at all.

Bort couldn't dream in a million years of pulling off a kino TnJ like Nart did routinely.

It's because he's older and not the MC anymore. If he stayed exactly like he was when he was in his teens he would act like a manchild.

It's because he's older

you mean terribly written excuse for a character that doesn't resembles his old self at all. he just doesn't feel right. and he was so immensely unsatisfying as hokage.

The Pimp House arc was the last time Boruto was decent.

Anon no one is saying it would be good or sensible. Everyone thinks Ikemoto is a bad writer which is why this still seems possible, because it all sounds like shit from a shit writer with a bias for his pet waifu.

What did you expect him to be as Hokage? It was always presented as a boring desk job unless your got invaded.

I think it's funny the thread got to 400+ comments and its all just shitting on Ikemoto kek

thinks

He IS a bad writer. If he wasn't, why didn't they have him write it from the start instead of having Kodachi before they fired him?

He's the worst thing about Boruto. I'm 100% certain if he was replaced all the problems with the series would disappear.

It was always presented as a boring desk job unless your got invaded.

lol it's like you are trying to piss me off with more of ikemoto's bullshit re-writes. making the position of hokage just pure bureaucracy is another grave sin in the writing of boruto. it's just lazy. yes the hokage would occasionally appear with a bunch of papers but they were first and foremost the mentors of a ninja village. they are not the mayor of a civilian town. naruto as hokage in boruto was a failed rushjob.

fine

everyone KNOWS Ikemoto is a bad writer

I think we can agree on this. It would have been a better manga under Kodachi.

lol it's like you are trying to piss me off with more of ikemoto's bullshit re-writes.

That's how Kishimoto had it, retard.

Tobirama is legitimately a genius far beyond anyone else in the series.
FTG? Literally better than every other Space time technique.
Edo Tensei? A better form of immortality than anything else shown in the series. Easily better than Karma.
Shadow Clones? Endless EXP ability.

It makes me sad. Naruto is a real gem in the rough that could have been easily elevated with a few rather simple edits and additions. Fixing Boruto is much harder but the theories that people had here were genuinely very good.

That's how Kishimoto had it, retard.

stfu i literally just corrected you dishonest moron. a hokage is the mentor and leader of the ninja village not the mayor of a civilian town.

but the theories that people had here were genuinely very good.

The ayy schizotheories were literally the first I've ever seen the Otsutsuki made interesting in this fandom.

dishonest

Did you speedread Tsunade's entire Hokage term? And besides, Naruto was still a mentor and leader, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the bureaucratic aspect of the job, which is the majority of it. How else would the village remain stable?

Same. In the insane hypothetical that they were made canon I think the audience would have actually liked the Otsutsuki. When I see complaints about how they as a concept are inherently flawed and boring I just shake my head because it isn't true but I can't deny that in canon they ended up extremely dull. Maybe one day AI can make it happen lol

you don't even understand what dishonest means. having a couple of panels with paper work doesn't mean that's what the hokage is.

How is the village stable if that's not what the job is?

schizoposting

remind me. (actually i never give a fuck about online discussions of anime I watch, i only care years later for the lols)

Bort just needed another draft. A villain group that finds a way to use the special powers of the Ayys of the past to power themselves up to Naruto+ levels is a premise you can work with. They just needed better motivations and characterizations.

hokage being a paperwork pusher is the hill you are willing to die on?

The 2020 Naruto storytime and the Naruto/Boruto threads up to mid-2023 were a magically time.

Boruto will probably have another fake death soon. He will be revived in Code's body.

Yes, because that's a big part of the job. How else is the village running? Do you think Naruto just orders shinobi around?

No way it's been 5 years already. Wow

a big part

headcanon.

Thinking either Kawaki (Limiter removed) or Daemon (sent by Ada will show up. Maybe Momoshiki will be allowed to come out and bust Boruto out of this. Or maybe a new Otsutsuki will finally appear.

You thinking it isn't is headdcanon.

can't blame him
The manga is so shit that his energy instantly disappeared right after he created the thread

you are being dishonest. you are misrepresenting the position of the leader of a ninja village to cover for ikemoto's lazy writing. having a couple of panels on a desk doesn't mean the hokage was a paper pusher. you have conveniently ignored every single one i have posted with the hokage being a LEADER to repeat the same shit like an autist.

23452345.png - 1913x1080, 1.87M

Are you talking about the one that started from the two different statues in Kaguya’s dimensions people thought were her parents or a different one?

For context people were making these theories at the time assuming that Boruto was a competent production, that the story was planned ahead of time and was synergizing with the anime and novels. As such there were a lot of theories but just take a gander.

to cover for ikemoto's lazy writing.

Already told you Kishimoto did it, he was the one who first displayed it. Stop dodging and accept that you are wrong.

there were a ton of theories, one of my personal favorites is the Otsutsuki being space jannies that prevented the universe from falling apart

Stop dodging and accept that you are wrong.

you have conveniently ignored every single one i have posted with the hokage being a LEADER to repeat the same shit like an autist.

post paper work. from the manga.

Omnipotence was a cheap and lazy plot device.

fyi those are medical reports. yes every instance of tsunade being over books in the manga is medical related. your one saving grace being tsunade doing paper work is canonically shot down.

The Hokage doing loads of paperwork was a Naruto anime invention.

For me it's wasabi.

I wish she was in the manga.

Or maybe I shouldn't.

Naruto is fine to me. But Sasuke... he acts like his entire personality got sucked out of him. He acts too stoic and awkward. He's like this in the Gaiden, the Boruto movie, the Boruto anime, and the Boruto manga.

canonically there is absolutely no fucking reason why kakashi gave up his hokage position just for naruto to step up.

Naruto is fine to me.

he is barely a character. he does retarded shit all the time to justify brutos behavior.

he does retarded shit all the time to justify brutos behavior.

Like what? All I can recall is the stuff in the movie and that was resolved in the same movie.

his lips are feminine

doing paper work with a clone. scolding his kid for "technology lmao". literally everything about naruto in boruto is so lame

But that was all in the movie and that was all from Kishimoto projecting his family issues onto Naruto. In the anime he's kinda like Hiruzen without the questionable aspects and in the manga he was a major character who got a lot of action before being sealed (I want him back in the story at this point, though).
