no no, i just edited that art you posted before to remove the pupils in mspaint in the color version.

also the apathy boruto has earned is incredible. i've gone around here to tumblr to reddit to SA and the reaction all around seems to be a big fat 'ehh'.

Well that makes sense. I mean everythings done. The myth arc completed, everyone happy, the main character achieved his dream. This is kinda an obvious cash-in. Lets not forget were stuck with Naruto's brat of a son as the protagonist who has none of the pathos or interest his father had.

Not to mention, the way the finale of Naruto was set up, the only way we could possibly have enemies that Naruto couldn't deal with would be ridiculous retcons and Nuke-level bullshit.

Who needs retcons? Just have some extradimensional aliums who ate other Fruits come in, it's happened before it can happen again.

Also she can use Juuken , so she already has chakra.Guess the fruit just gives you the abilities of the Juubi's host.And Kaguya's extra stuff.

Did Peirrot expand on her fight? I don't remember her being this lucid or chatty.

Probably.Not a bad move,Kaguya being durrr all the time would make for some odd expansion.

The opening, animation wise, is great but I don't like the song much. Why are Pierrot so hit and miss when it comes to Naruto openings? They did great with Bleach.

PS: When Naruto and Kaguya clash, where the fuck did that epic OST come from? Naruto has always had so-so OST, excluding Akatsuki and Pain, so I was genuinely surprised.

I was thinking of the catch phrases/goals and ages of the "Big Three" shonen protagonists, then started thinking of their maturity. I think Ichigo is the most mature, and Naruto matured quickly towards the end. Despite Luffy being the oldest, he's basically an immature, functional moron.

Age (note that each series had a 2-3 year timeskip at some point)

  • Luffy: 17, 19
  • Naruto: 12-13, 15-17
  • Ichigo: 15, 17

Catch Phrase/goal:

  • Luffy: I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
  • Naruto: I'm gonna be Hokage! Believe it!
  • Ichigo: I'm gonna be—at your ass! How's it goin?

Maturity:

  • Luffy: Despite being the oldest, he's basically a self-centered (plus friends), non-thinking functional idiot. As the most popular by far, is he the role model for Japanese youth? Actively denies that he's a "hero" and usually discourages that idea in others (occasionally selflessly).
  • Naruto: Started out as a brat with acting up in an effort to get positive attention after being mistreated as a kid, but once he lost his "friend", he started becoming more responsible without needing that attention. Pretty much lost the brattiness and became a role model.
  • Ichigo: Pretty much always the most mature. He has his moments of brooding loner, but he looks out for his friends and family, and seeks help where needed. The most "adult" of the three.

The sad, REAL American dichotomy

This new opening's pretty Sasuke focused. He's the first into action when it looks like Naruto has given up? Also, Sakura beats goo!Hinata while Kakashi is on the defensive against goo!Lee. I can't say I'm happy with either of those.

Next episode is filler, but interesting filler none the less. At least we see a backstory for Kaguya.

Its kind of hilarious Kaguya has the same old lady voice in her flashback.

I guess the Emperor is going to be Kaguya's babydaddy?

You know what I'm still surprised by?

The fact that I still haven't found a doujin starring Kaguya. It's strange. Usually, when a powerful female character is introduced into a popular franchise, it doesn't take long for the doujin circles to put out a doujin in which that character gets raped and/or reduced to a sex slave, usually to Gonk(s).

Thats cause you can't make out how womanly built Kaguya is... most hentai pics make her have a nice build between Tsunade and Konan IE Athletic Milf quality

and Kaguya doesn't have much of a chaarcter... she already comes off as kinda sub servant to Black Zetsu and the whole Dominate powerful females is the kink. IE if Kaguya was alot more assertive and expressive... Yeah she'd have been gangbanged by a bunch of random nobodies by now.

An Observation

The thing we're suppose to infer is before His position as Hokage Naruto pretty much spent as much time with his family and kids as possible and Naruto himself hasn't yet figured out that fine balance between the two. IE Naruto is suffering typical Japanese Workaholic syndrome -He was oversleeping before his own inauguration ceremony now you can't pry him away from the office with a crowbar

IE Boruto the movie based on the one shot where Himawari kicks your ass about his inauguration doesn't take place that long after so Naruto hasn't been Hokage for very long maybe just a year.

Hence why Bolt feels as forgotten as he does.

Basically Naruto's not yet learned the Third's skill of slacking off all day XD
