Each part went on entirely too long. I like Mitsuki. But man getting through each episode was draining me. The villains were lame. Old Rock guy…bleh. I felt like the character growth was minimal.
Only thing that was refreshing was that someone actually properly apologized for their actions.
I just realized that Kishimoto's new series is Samurai 8…And that bothers me so much cause it feels super uninspired since Samurai 7 is already a show lol.

Really? Samurai 7 is hardly that influential in Japan compared to the film 7 Samurai. Samurai 7 itself didn't do anything new with the films themes.
Check out my podcast for conversations about Greatness in anime, sports, music, and whatever else we can think of.

Not that it's influential but that it's lazy titling lol.
I just picture Kishi sitting pitching his show and he's like and it'll be called Samurai 7! And the editors are like Uhhh…There's already a show. And he's like shit..uh..Samurai...8.
Funny thing is that his brother once made a manga that was somwehat translated as Avengers 9.

By that logic Samurai 7 is lazy too. Because they just took the title of one of the most influential Japanese movies of all time and reversed the 7 and Samurai 
Boruto lamenting over child parent day is super annoying. So what if Himawari is out with your dad? You have a mom too! Ugh. Poor Hinata. Such an ungrateful son.
I do secretly enjoy these weird episodes that give us more slice of life stuff. Sai has been growing on me each time he shows up.
But for every character that starts to look cool weirder stuff happens to another. What in the world is going on with Shino?
Wow that was bad
Like really bad
Like seriously bad
16 chars of yes it was so shit
So in the last 16 years ninja technology advanced so much that a cyborg can go toe-to-toe with Ninja Jesus?! That's bullshit, and the kind I don't believe.
Man Naruto got nerfed bad.
Ninja tech OP!
Yeah that was pretty lame. Even under the excuse that he's fighting specifically so the kids don't get hurt.

Believe it :ninja:
How fucking hard can it be to have a clone blast her from behind with a rasengan while's shes absorbing a bait-rasengan. Are we even trying here, author?

Seriously. The fight choreography is lazy. Despite the handicap of the kids being nearby he should still have speed and power and the clones. This arc basically just makes Naruto look weak. There's nothing about this woman that makes me really think she should be such a problem.
Just read the latest chapter….. wow, that was so bad, the fight scene choreography was so bland and stale it was almost like nothing was happening, the only thing I liked about it was the Lava Rasengan, I didn't know he could do that
I remember him doing it once in the war when he had the four tails beast inside him but then I thought I remember Madara absorbing it from him, and all the others tailed beasts
I believe what you're describing happened after Naruto went Sage mode since Naruto wouldn't have had the other tailed beast inside of him when that happened as Obito and Madara already had possession of all but Kurama and Gyuki.
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

When they started this new story with the flash back giving the impression that everything goes bad and only "this new guy" can save the world, they put forward the real possibility that everything that was put in place during the Naruto will be taken down. Naruto, Sasuke, Killer B, etc all of those super powered characters have to be beaten by something that only Boruto can stand against. If you think about it, it had to happen that way. In a world where the two guys who are so powerful keep things running smoothly, you have to remove them to make more conflict. Same problem they faced with the new star wars movies. If you have all powerful Jedi Luke around, then nothing else really becomes a problem.
Or you know you can just write a cheap excuse to remove them from the story for a while. Or handicap them for whatever.
Like idk oh wait I know ninja tech you know because technology something something infinite possibilities

idk, it looks like he still has them here, and is using son to make the lava rasengan

"He's able to touch Madara's pole and still be okay…"
Sometimes I miss the 6 hundred billion armadillo penis rainbow series of old.
Wow. This is some uninspired fighting from Naruto. How does a 40 page chapter feel so short?
It took what, 3-4 chapters for Naruto go: “Oh you can absorve chakra? How cute. Here’s a fuckton of it. Let’s see how much can you take.”

The anime for Boruto is back to repeating the formula of having adults pique Boruto's interest in something non ninja related and then turning out to be a bag of dicks lol.
This is one of the few shows where it really doesn't feel better to binge watch…I was behind by a lot apparently.
Kakashi and Guy wandering around with Mirai is a nice episode. Low stakes. Showing the Kakashi Guy friendship is kinda a nice palette cleanser.
Boruto will be moving to V Jump.
@Kaizou:

I'm kinda surprised Boruto was just on Jump since it wasn't weekly.
Latest chapter brought up the mark resemeblance that Tsunade and Sakura have. Kinda surprised it may have a connection to Karma. But maybe it makes sense? Weren't the moon people the originators of ninjutsu? Or am I mis-remembering.
You know, I've been a member of this forum for a while.
I've posted in the Naruto threads for quite a bit.
I was here when the infamous Armadillo penis appeared.
I haden't regularly watched the Naruto anime at that point because of the filler.
And here I am, in 2019 after seeing on Toonami that Shippuden decided to advance on not THE Armadillo, but apparently ANOTHER armadillo. A female one for the sake of the fillers.
I don't know how to feel at the moment.
Reading these Boruto chapter hurts…
Butt hurt Naruto and Sasuke fans crying in a river some where over this latest chapter. I like the characters but with them out of the loop the new generation can grow, its even better to see them evolve during the War times which should break out after Naruto's loss and crushing defeats let out.
On the bright side Kakashi will likley be brought back into action with Naruto currently out, I'm sure he's looking forward to.
The enemy is on the move now, should be hitting that time skip soon than.
Over all fun chapter and looking forward to up coming events. Wish the flipping Anime would get to this part of the manga UGH!
Well thanks for spoiling it, I guess.
Honestly, what's so difficult about grasping the concept of "spoiler"?
The chapter was officially out on the shonen jump app yesterday. I thought we didn't use the spoiler rule once those official chapters dropped.
I don't even know what to think about this series anymore. Everything after Kaguya showed up just feels like such a big pile of bullshit that I can't take it seriously. Why is this guy able to defeat the two gods of the ninja world by himself in a single chapter? Who even writes this series? It's not Kishimoto anymore, right? Since he's writing Samurai 8 now (which isn't that good either, to be honest).
To be pretty fair even for all the power Naruto & Sasuke had by the end of part 2 they couldn't even hurt Kaguya to the point she had to be sealed away again.
If you don't understand how this guy is on the same level as Kaguya or higher, then you're not reading the series. Probably just going in and out
Lest we forget, everyone peaks at 16 in the Naruto world…...and in shonen in general.
How lame and boring would it be if Naruto and Sasuke were just invincible, untouchable gods? People had the same reaction when Naruto had to slightly, kinda try against Delta. It's so dumb.
People think that things are "Dragon Ball like" that once an enemy is overcome, the main characters will just use them as a measure stick for mooks of the next baddie.
I always liked the times that Batman lost in the animated series, once when a random mook seemed like he killed batman, and then when he finally decided to give up the cowl in batman beyond. Them not being ninja gods, but real people with real bodies that would die if they slip in the shower or they let a bullet enter their chest is ok, them being lifeforms capable of reacting to anything, and rearanging their inner organs to protect from damage, or to always be a shadow clone is.. ok-ish, it is also kinda not about consistence (even tho it is nice) like characters being with their guard down outside battle, or just tired in consecutive missions, or underestimating/overestimating an enemy and adjusting their strategies accordingly, or conserving resources for later, or a lucky break out of the opponent.
It is about enjoyment of the situations they present, as if it was enjoyable, the nitpick wouldn't be the main theme of this conversation.
I'm sure it is terrible, but I'm just as sure that "power level" isn't the answer.
Man, this thread is at page 495. Once upon a time we would have been organizing a song and planning the wrap party by now…
also this thread has been running for five years. Far cry from the good ol' days where we burned through 500 pages in 3-5 months.

Well doesn't help that Boruto isn't a weekly series. And currently the arc isn't really all that interesting at the moment. But maybe now that Naruto and Sasuke are incapacitated they can focus on the kids again.
Naruto is pretty much dead for a lot people.
Even before Burrito started.
Jesus Christ I have such intense nostalgia for AP's Naruto-Bleach threads.
Truly nothing will ever fill that particular void in my life.
Keep looking, do not force it, and have fun.
To be honest, I'm only reading Boruto to be able to make jokes here when the time inevitably comes.
Boruto is neither good nor bad enough to produce such jokes. Only from the shambling and still moving corpse of a freshly killed giant can such magnificense grow.
Yeah, it started of well with introduction, but then just took up middle ground.
Such a shame. I don't see OP or, like, MHA, becoming ridiculously bad any time soon either.
I should just be grateful I got to experience the Naruto x Bleach train wreck in its blazing glory.
So I am watching through a fanmade cut of Naruto/Shippuden with a friend for the first time (in return some other friends will watch One Piece). I've actually never watched past the original Rescue Sasuke arc and dropped the manga somewhere in the 300s. I've kept up with some of the Boobs, Videogames threads and I played the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, so I know the general plot, but this is the first time I'm going through the whole story. We're currently in the first Shippuden arc and I thought it would be fun to skim through the Bart Simpsons threads along the way. It's fun how quaint 2005 was, although you very quickly start seeing people realize something is missing.
Anyway, this post was made on the day Tobi first appeared:
Hey boys and girls, wanna make your own crazy Naruto theory? Well, just take one new Tobi character from this chapter, look at his hair and mask with a hole on his right side, switch the syllables in his names and add an o at the front and TA-DA! Your very own "Tobi is Obito!" theory.
and one of the responses:
beware of the narutards, they're here to twist your mind. if tobi is obito, then yondaime is naruto's dad.
