Summary Time: How can a monthly series have this many delays?
So last chapter (from like two months ago) they manage to knock down Molding Cannibal. So Richie Rich and Bolt give each other a high five. They explain how Richie stab Molding in the back. What is up with their faces?
Title page has a picture of Sasuke. The artwork makes it look like he has gain some weight.
Bolt's face looks even worse now -what is with this artist and faces-, while Molding gets up. They are shocked that a high rank wanted criminal doesn't go down in ...what two hits? Molding taunts them. Bolt tries acting cool while charging up another rasengan, but he can't attack because his tattoo starts acting up. But before Molding can attack them. Cups binds him with his long rubber arms move. Then Salad delivers a kick to the neck. No her outfit still the same, I think some people were wondering if that was the reason for the month off. Which does knock Molding Cannibal out. She does a pose... wait I never realized that she had such a chiseled yet misshapen jaw line. *laughs* God Cups looks even worst. Bolt clearly ask why they're there and how they found him... wait. How did Bolt find Richie again? Did the kidnappers give the fire lord their address? Its been so long I can't remember that detail in this bland generic story. Richie is in awe of the team. Oh. They must have used a snake to track their scent because Cups pulls one out. Also the tattoo shrinks, I guess since Bolt is no longer focusing chakra into his right arm. He remembers something Molding Cannibal said. Salad ask him whats wrong? He says nothing?
When they go to the tower they get yelled at by Konohamaru. The Fire Lord runs in to reunite with his son. He is impressed with how brave his son has become when he sees him again. When they are leaving Bolt gives back the card. Guess he wants to find it on his own? They make face like they now consider themselves rivals? Then they shake hands.
The team goes to the store. Bolt failed to get the card yet again. Salad decides to buy a pack. She gets Orochimaru. She seems disgusted and/or upset. Cups casually mentions that Orochimaru is his ...parent? Oh right, they mentioned that at the end of the movie but they didn't do that bit in the manga. Salad freaks out. Bolt looks at the cards then to the sky.
Back to Richie...If anyone predicted that the card Bolt wanted was a Sasuke card. Congratulation. You can probably also predict the sun will rise and set tomorrow. Nice to know he has time to pose for a card picture but not to spend time with his family.
Cut to Ibiki, Sai, and Sasuke interrogate Molding Cannibal. Where he reveals his knowledge about those tattoos and the group that is looking for them...*sigh* Meet our new Akatsuki folks! Anyone hoping this series would be the slightest bit original...Well, at least this group wears hooded cloaks and opera masks, instead of hood-less rain clocks and conical hats. Also their six of them.
I see the numbers 9 11 at the bottom of the last panel. That better mean that the next chapter comes out September 11th...What a perfect day for a Boruto chapter to come out.
This took at least 6 months, this story arc should not have gone on for more then a month; at best. I swear the anime could finish this up in two weeks. This story needs to speed up.
