Naruto to Boruto Discussion Thread

[Nierre]

I mean you can say what you want about whether you believe it was dumb or not.

You see Boruto as just a 12 year old child, Sasuke saw more than just a 12 year old child in Boruto, and he was right to bring him. There's really nothing else to it. If Boruto hadn't been there, they would've died.

All I see is Damage and Shadow coping hard

Classic Damage/Shadow take

....you will never get Naruto into sextillions to decillions of times FTL. it's just not gonna happen nor is it true no matter how much you like Naruto

Doest matter speed is always equalised on the site

Drake Uchiha

foul

 

[SlendVeny]

Even weakened he would still be leagues above boruto. And he still should have been able to absorb that rasegean

That Rasengan was Naruto and Boruto's chakra working together, and it destroyed his arm before his eye could fully absorb it. Simple as.

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Well that's the default cope we use here whenever Boruto messes up scaling. And that's gonna happen a lot.

Oh god

It is dumb

Just because it turned out alright doesn’t make the decision less dumb. It’s like taking your 5 year old inside a tiger pin cuz you think they might hit a tiger with a tranq dart or something. And even thinking on it, shouldn’t have momoshiki been able to see boruto’s vanishing rasegean with his byagukan?

Nah, it's like setting the 5 year old on the sidelines in a tiger pin with 7 adults specialized in capturing tigers to teach them how to capture tigers.

Both of his arms were still intact when he got hit by the rasegean

 

[SlendVeny]

He held up the arm to block it and it was destroyed along with the rest of his body.

I mean the franchise is full of Drakes

Oh god

Get used to it. Also watch the timeslip arc. Your reaction would be funny I predict.

That's a terrible comparison.

It turned out alright because Sasuke knew Boruto could help in the fight and knew he had the guts and will to do so. I'm not going to bring a 5 year old into a tiger pin if they can't do shit. Boruto could do shit, and did do shit.

Boruto was only able to do anything because Naruto and Sasuke were able to set him up to successfully do so.

You don't know more than Sasuke about what's at hand so you can't say "Sasuke was wrong to do so and so". Sasuke decided that Boruto was an asset to the fight, and brought him along, and was correct. It doesn't matter about what you may feel about the whole thing.

That was peak filler scaling shit. Reminds me of in the Part 1 anime, where Genin Rock Lee and grown-ass Might Guy were matching each other in some crazy-ass puppet shenanigans fight.

 

[Ryzen7900X]

Doest matter speed is always equalised on the site

there's the problem. in most other VS debating platforms, speed is almost never equalized and Goku is unequivocally beyond anything Naruto can do in terms of speed. frankly I think Goku's speed is far more impressive than his AP anyway

A 5 year old can do stuff with a tranq dart so idk about that.

I’m talking about his vanishing rasegean

 

[HelloThere1089]

Tbh Moral Absolutism is pointless in fiction and real world.

 

[SlendVeny]

Ok, now imagine that 5-year-old had a rifle and was trained in how to use it.

Off-guard feats are mad common in fiction, and it barely fazed Momoshiki.

a 5 year old with a dart vs a tiger

vs

6 God Tier level Ninjas + 1 Genin that someone of Sasuke's caliber saw usefulness in despiter there being other Chunin, Jonin, and Anbu around vs an Alien god

it's not a comparable situation at all

 

[Nierre]

Agreed.
Which is why I don't really get the point in the nitpicking lol

Now image the tigers are immune to bullets

7 God Tier Ninjas if you count Naruto, who he knew was already there.

 

[SlendVeny]

Otsutsuki aren't all immune to Ninjutsu, that's Juubi-only.

Anime only, in the manga it just twisted his shoulder a bit and he went "zoinks"

Of course it is because the adult believes the 5 year old is capable of making a change

True but I’d image a genin wouldn’t be able to do anything agianst an otsutsuki

Anime only, in the manga it just twisted his shoulder a bit.

So anime isn’t cannon? Bro got damaged?

 

[Nierre]

So anime isn’t cannon?

it is but we take the manga adaptation over the anime adaptation of the same arcs

speaking of which i should make that crt soon

 

[Ryzen7900X]

how does it feel knowing Naruto is faster than every Gold Saint in Saint Seiya right now?

 

[AnimesFreak2]

Also in the anime Boruto unlocked Jougan against the weakened Momo so

 

[AlternativePrinciple]

Hopthetical speaking, would the anime Profiles consider filler as cannon as well

 

[AlternativePrinciple]

Don't think that's going to last, considering when uchihaslayer drops that speed revision and make every god tier relativistic to light

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

12 year old

literal child soldiers

 

[SlendVeny]

True but I’d image a genin wouldn’t be able to do anything agianst an otsutsuki

Naruto is a Genin.

So anime isn’t cannon?

 No

Bro got damaged?

Barely, it's standard off-guard stuff.

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Naruto is a Genin.

His the hokage actually

 No

Well I guess that might make some things better

Barely, it's standard off-guard stuff.

Bro shouldn’t have even been off guarded though. Maybe I’m messing up the bygukans abilities but homie should have saw that coming

 

[SlendVeny]

His the hokage actually

A Hokage who never passed the Chunin Exams.

Byakugan users get offguarded all the time. See: Sakura punching Kaguya.

 

[AnimesFreak2]

iirc Kishimoto even said in an interview that Naruto became a Hokage from Genin because he thought it would be funny and very Naruto like or something like that


Sadly that post war scene from the anime where Kakashi promoted him is probably just filler sadly

 

[AnimesFreak2]

Wait iirc Kakashi might not have even promoted him

he just said that Naruto had to study really hard to become Jonin

 

[AnimesFreak2]

Either way it's stupid though and def one of Kishi's more weird decisions

Like there is no reason Naruto shouldn't have gotten Elite Jonin rank at minimum after beating Pain

At that point he had matured heavily, was by far the most powerful shinobi in the village and so on

 

[Ryzen7900X]

Don't think that's going to last, considering when uchihaslayer drops that speed revision and make every god tier relativistic to light

well at least he is still faster as of now

 

[Avengershows]

So anime isn’t cannon? Bro got damaged?

To the manga? No
To itself? Yes
They're 2 different continuities, it's pointless to label them canon and not canon.

I think you still need to pass the Chunin Exams. So, we need an actual thing where Naruto and Sasuke team up and beat the **** out of a bunch of children, no "Senjutsu is banned."
