Boruto (New Naruto Era - sequel anime and manga)

One scene and she's already more impressive than Kurenai ever was.

Still pissed that Hiruzen has multiple grandchildren and none of them have used Monkey King Enma as a summon.

So Boruto is not only wearing Sasuke's headband but his cloak too while wielding his sword.◊

So Sasuke is Boruto's Jiraiya?

He's his other dad.

I don’t think Sasuke is fit to be anyone’s Jiraiya....... or well dad for that matter either.

I dunno. Sasuke is a piece of shit and Sakura does deserve better but his relationship with Sarada and Boruto is quite charming.

Sarada and Boruto good for each other and too good their respective dads.

Well at least Rancid Sauce is finally there for his daughter.

Took him well over 10 years to not be a complete deadbeat piece of shit....... but I guess it could have been longer.

"Sakura does deserve better"

highly debatable

Sakura partially brought this loveless relationship on herself.

Partially? She kept pursuing Sauce for literal years while he was nothing but clear with his (lack of) intentions regarding her. The relationship is entirely her doing. She could have turned around and tried dating Naruto or Lee or anyone else whenever she wanted, but she chose to keep going after Sasuke.

Also, Jiraiya left Naruto alone for over a decade despite being his godfather. The comparison to Sasuke's parenting is apt.

When the abuser himself calls out how ridiculous her entire obsession with him is, ya know there’s a problem.

I mean Sauce is a homicidally insane freak with the emotional range of a fence post & a chimp that just got kicked in the nuts but Sakura is the one who actually pursued him & is the driving force of the “relationship” so yeah she really did brought it on herself in the end.

Also oh yeah Jiraiya abandoned his Godson. The reveal that he’s actually related to Naruto just made the whole thing of him growing up alone even more bizarre.

The fact that their relationship is basically the opposite of real-life abusive relationships is what make it so weird. In real life, the classical abusive relationship is one in which the abuser acts like they own their partner, and manipulates them to control them and keep them from leaving. Sasuke is a jerk who wants nothing to do with Sakura, make it clear that he wants nothing to do with Sakura, and eventually gives her a pity fuck to get her to leave him alone.

If they gave her a deeper reason why she loved Sasuke, it would be less pathetic than it already is. However, we are supposed to see her obsession with Sasuke has matured from being a school girl crush to a mature understanding of another. However, what is seen on screen is that Sakura still acts as if she has a crush, rather than being married to Sasuke. Even as they are married, it's heavily implied they haven't kissed and it's devoid of any hint of affection. It still amazes me that this ship has any supporters due to how obviously toxic and unhealthy it is.

Which is why Sarada found it entirely plausible that she was a stalker/kidnapper.

Momoshiki's Super Mode looks way different than it was in the movie. Interesting.

is it the manga version?

It is!

Jiraiya was awya from the village keeping tabs on one of the most dangerous criminals alive and building a huge information network to help protect Konoha in addition to feeling horribly guilty about Minato dying and unsuited to raising a kid.

As for the episode...gotta say I really like how they went with Momo's manga form, and how breezy the fight is going. Should have the Momo fight done next week or the week after.

No matter what justifications there are Jiraiya still abandoned a child to a miserable existence of loneliness & being a social pariah for most of his childhood.

Its the same fucking excuse with Sasuke & Sarada really.

Something he was not aware of because he was working on protecting an entire nation. He hadn't been back in Konoha for 12 years.

Also it falls under Show, Don't Tell because we're told he did those things offscreen. Not shown. Except maybe in the anime

He wouldn't be aware that the current leader of his village & his prized student died & left behind an orphaned infant despite everyone in the world including other villages knowing of at least Minato's death?

Yeah sure lets go with that.

Its stupid as fuck really.

It smells like a retcon that has many plotholes.

Um, we know he knew about Naruto. He left the village when Naruto was a baby, presumably trusted his teacher to look after Naruto and focused on protecting the village.

Well then he made the wrong decision cause Sarutobi did a shit job of looking after Naruto.
