This past chapter, 90% of pages looked like the ones above.

-Someone’s face
-A zoom in of someone’s face (their eyes)
-Someone else’s face
-The side of their face

I understand these panels are all dialogue but still… It’s been this way the whole manga. NNG included (although there was a bit more complexity there).

To clarify, I don’t mind extensive dialogue. But when every panel seems to be necessary to zoom in on the side of someone’s head?

Overall, every page ends up feeling like a predicable cycle in a sense where I would most certainly skim through the illustrations quickly if there wasn’t dialogue to accompany it.

The first time Code threatened her, he got stomped right on his face and was used as a welcome mat after 3 years by our goat.

But now, Code gor his first W after soo much people kicking his ass..by KIDNAPPING Sarada, for which Boruto is a main reason for proposing such a bad plan.

Now that he has the guilt, how far would he go to save her ?? Not to forget the promise he made to sasuke (which complicates this arc even further) and the assurance he gave to her.

I'm biased. No one will ever top Boruto's entrance scene at the beginning of TBV...except Boruto himself...maybe...later. 😂

What's your choice?

think about it guys. the very first time shikamaru asked edia to check the past to see if amado's motives regarding "his daughter" were true, she very vaguely brushed it off saying akebi did exist and she died, without stating the details that would explain the truth behind amado's motives. plus, in the same chapter, both kawaki and momoshiki doubt amado's words. and now again, when koji asked her to check what amado did to him, he suddenly gets an update and the enquiry is forgotten? i really suspect amado and eida are working in cooperation, or atleast that amado has placed certain type of limiters on eida that lets him control her in a way that doesn't reveal his true intentions.

This specific dialogue makes me wonder what Amado truly means by "putting his own mind at ease".

Can it be that he needs to ensure certain events happen and prescience will guarantee it?

Naturally, you would think he wants to aid in a fight with Shinju, as he framed it himself, he "wanted to do something helpful".

Are we okay with Amado simply knowing that messing with Koji's brain will decrease the cooldown of a shinjutsu? Without any trial and error, he is just that smart. Do you think his intelligence is enough to wave this interaction off? At some point, Amado said that even if he lost his memory and did not recognize his work, he would be able to detect it because the way he manufactures his craft leaves certain signature. It's like an artist recognizing their own craft just by looking at it. Is it perhaps something along those lines?

He had just learnt that Koji has prescience and obviously was clearly intrigued enough to make a move.

Slightly after this specific dialogue, Amado asks Koji whether he has ever seen Kawaki put Karma on his daughter and we see this

This could simply be a visualisation of that event occurring. Not a memory, or an actual future event. But, when Koji responds and claims that he had never seen that come to pass - it makes me wonder.

Technically, if Koji did in fact saw Kawaki putting Karma on Akebi, relaying that information to Amado would make him a singularity of fate. So, it is better to either not say anything, or simply lie.

Koji seems to come off a little defensive too because he overexplains and mentions that data fetched from Ten-Directions is stored in his memories, almost as if that is a factor that guarantees him being genuine. Sure, we can argue that this little detail is simply Ikemoto speaking to the readers through Koji, rather than Koji panicking - I suppose that is a fair point too.

Either way, I believe Koji lied and he did in fact saw Akebi being resurrected.

I am really excited for the future, seems like Koji and Amado will now both have access to prescience. We have entered a stage of their ultimate chess match where Kawaki and Boruto are their pawns fighting for "the best possibile future". I can already imagine them getting a vision and plotting against each other. What could go wrong?

Also, the definition of the best future likely differs for many.

a. For Amado it's Akebi's resurrection

b. For Kawaki it's Naruto's safety

c. For Boruto it is Uzumaki family coming back, and I suppose safety of the shinobi world.

One more thing, the Karma that Kawaki is supposed to implant in Akebi is suspicious to me. Why is Amado so certain that this is going to work? From the way he phrased it, he seems to put all his faith into it, which indicates he is not entirely sure, but this is basically the only thing he can do.

How can he know about all of this? Can we assume that he acquired this knowledge while working alongside Jigen?

In my opinion, Amado had been deceived. Basically, his love for Akebi was used against him to execute a certain plan. What that is? We're about to find out...

At the very least, the interrogation team should go through all his items and computers.

Not just leave this guy sit in his lab all day, untouched.

Then you have Eida... why not ask her to see what has happened?

That's a bit of a plothole....

As we know, Boruto can use small metal pieces (pins, shuriken, his sword) to teleport in the same location of that metal piece using a jutsu similar to his grandad's FTG.

I've already made a post like this but I didn't receive a real answer and the recent events in ch 35 and 36 make me more doubtful.

old post https://www.reddit.com/r/Boruto/comments/1ts0dbg/borutos_pin/

from the beginning.

Boruto put a frog with a pin (leaf villege symbol) on Code in ch 3 after he hit the enemy with a rasengan. Code escaped and Boruto teleported to the pin and reached Code. Shinjus appeared and Boruto escaped (probably bringing back that specific pin because is the same pin he gave to Kawaki in ch 24, but Boruto might possess more pins of the same shape).

Later, after bug's clone death, Boruto in ch 34 teleported to Code's place using a pin (circle and cross shape). How did that new pin end up there? in ch 35 Boruto asks Sarada to be kidnapped to bring pins to Code place. But in ch 34 he teleported out of nowhere and he clearly borught back that pin (circle and cross shape) otherwise he wouldn't have asked Sarada to be a lure.

Maybe I missed something reading TBV and thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Imagine if one day Amado actually succeeds with whatever plan he's cooking up. Just remember he's doing all of this while there are people who can monitor every single thing he's ever done in the past and present, plus someone who can literally see the future. If he still pulls it off that's actually insane, and also the reason no one knows Amado’s plan yet especially Kashin Koji is because right now, his plan is destined to fail. But if you really think about it, this actually works in Amado’s favor. It gives him the chance to change and adjust his plans moving forward. Especially now that he knows there are people with powers like Koji who can easily figure out his true objective, so amado plan failed in current future sound like blessing in disguise for amado

A big question I personally had from a few chapters back was the timeline of when certain events happen.

Momoshiki & Borutos deal for example would’ve meant that Jura is alive during the big Kawaki vs Boruto fight (since Momoshiki hadn’t taken control of Borutos body yet)

Koji confirms that in most timelines Kawaki is dead (whether by Jura, Boruto, or some other reason is still to be revealed)

So we can at least determine that Jura will be handled after the Kawaki v Boruto fight due to the way it’s been described to us as of now

Of course with the future actively being changed with every decision Koji makes this can’t be 100% certain but as the matter stands this is the chain of events.

Kawaki vs Boruto -> Jura Final Boss Fight
(with Kawaki possibly sacrificing himself to stop/kill Jura)

As far as I’m aware this is right but if I have missed something let me know

in the recent chapter, amado acted sad when he found out akebi wasn't revived in any of the futures koji saw, right? well that's exactly what he wanted. the moment he realised koji has the ability to see all possible futures, he realized he could be in danger as koji would then know his true goals. so he decided to abduct koji and find out just how much he knows about his motives. but instead of doing so directly, he asked him if akebi was ever revived in any of the futures. if she was, koji would be aware of his motives. but if she wasn't, koji would have no idea what he's upto. and that's exactly what he was counting on. and in order to make sure he never finds out, he altered his "brain waves" as he stated, making sure koji wouldn't see any future involving amado or akebi. but just so koji wouldn't get too suspicious, he also "enhanced" his ability, or atleast made it seem so. this guy is a genius.

Do you reckon kawaki will uphold his deal to bring back Amado's daughter through the karma?

Saving this guy was the dumbest thing Boruto did 🙄

so wouldn't it have been possible for sasuke before he lost his rinnegan to just sneak up on it [the 10 tails hidden in the other dimension] & seal it in his body like obito, madara, hagoromo?

plus he had the rinnegan too, perhaps like hagoromo he could've have made new bijuu out of him

any since jyubi/10 tails is supposed to be a mass of nature energy & nature energy hits it best apart from taijutsu, shouldn't the new cast have a sage, sure mitsuki is ok but like kinda weak no? we'd need something of hashirama or naruto's grade i think

what do you think

Idk man, rain fights just hit different

Knowing Homura and Koharu, they'd choose someone they already know, and close to Danzo. I bet on these:

1. Kakashi (reason why I said "next in charge" and not "next)

2. Sai

3. Yamato

4. Orochimaru

5. Kabuto (not a konoha shinobi)

The last 2 are unlikely but not impossible

1. Shizune

this’ll be fire animated

I wanna join the Jura Tea and Book Party Timeline!

Shikamaru walks in on Temari and Jura having a tea/book group meeting which leads to Jura saying “Greeting Lord Shikamaru, we were just discussing Pride and Prejudice while your wife was just teaching me about…spilling the tea I believe it was”

(This is all part one I know nothing about part 2)

I wanted to give Boruto a chance. Everyone slanders it cuz Naruto and Sasuke are washed or whatever (its lowkey true and not true, ill discuss that later) I wanted to give it a fair shot so I can hate on it or defend it proper. Also there isnt gonna be a structure to this im just gonna talk about my feelings in however way I feel them, I'll still try to make it readable though! Also I suck at using punctuation marks so take note of that.

The first 20ish chapters before Kawaki got introduced we're SO BORING. I get it was set up and about Momoshiki but goddamn it was so boringgg, I get the ninja tech stuff and I admit im not the smartest guy, im sure it had a deep meaningful metaphor in it but I deadass just thought that they were so lame.

AO was pretty aight as a villain tho. Most of the Kara members are okay, I guess. Not as interesting as the Akatsuki but its not like all the Akatsuki were THAT interesting anyways but I would say the best of Kara (Jigen and Koji) are more interesting than the worst of the Akatsuki. (Hidan is kinda lame)

Everything post Kawaki is genuinely some of the most interesting shit I've read. Kawaki is a hateable, compelling, understandable and the same time hard to forgive guy. Hateable in a sense he is kind of an idiot who is GENUINELY obsessed with Naruto it is kind of creepy and because of that obsession it motivates him in a way you get it. Compelling because he's just so interesting, wanting a power he loathes, and using the same powers he loathes to kill other Ohsutski is dope asf. Understandable cus yk his dad sold him, he was abused and manipulated and while he is obsessed with Naruto but I do think he loves him and really does care.

Boruto is genuinely really well written, apparently Kishimoto isnt the main writer and just advises but goddamn is Boruto actually a cool character so shout out Ikemoto. I cannot lie at the early stages of the series he is annoying as SHIT, BUT HIS DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD. He calls Kawaki his brother and thats just heart warming as shittttt, Boruto at the end of part 1 I genuinely one of the most well written characters in the whole naruto verse. He is lowkey my favorite character.

Naruto and Sasuke are washed as shit bruh. MY GOATS. I mean I get it they had to do it because how else could they make the Ohsutski a threat if they werent yk but man is it sad to see them like this bruh. On a writing level I think they're well written, Naruto is a worse father than I thought he would be AT THE START, but he locks in and I love the fact that he sees Kawaki and Boruto as his actual kids thats really good. Sasuke is lowkey just there to look cool but I really love the fact that while he wasnt there alot he really does love Sarada and would literally not trust HIMSELF because he loves HER that much, they are both good fathers, not perfect but to assume perfection is foolishness.

I wished Mitsuki was actually explored on a bit more, I read the bonus chapter about him and that was pretty fun and while he did get interesting near the end I think it was a tad too late. Sarada is def gonna get more to do in part 2 I can already tell so im just gonna read that and see whats up. All the other kids are aight, daemons funny. I CANT WAIT FOR HIMAWARI AND WHAT SHE DOES IN PART 2!

Overall I'd say Boruto really isnt that bad. Is it as good as Naruto? I mean fuck no but I dont think Boruto is bad by ANY means, its not fair to compare it to the Naruto manga but that's just how it gotta be. Once I started to accept my goats were just fodder and side characters it did get easier to stomach but I get how now everyone can really see it that way. Would I recommend Boruto? honestly yeah, its pretty good post the 20s

Moegi hasn't been relevant in the manga basically ever, but she was shown in kashi koji's vision. Why do you think that is. What role do you think she will play in the near for her to be shown in the visions.

Someone mentioned having to wait two months on Viz. Just curious. Maybe a holiday?

Used the leaks flair because the system is paranoid.

She has the combat experience and was always loyal to Kagura 'til the end. She decided to redeem herself by her own choice and decided to proudly become a ninja from de Hidden mist once again.

Plus, if Sarada ever becomes hokage, they would be besties uniting even more their own nations after decades of hostilities. A great way to restore the Uchiha's honor.
