#937693 Boruto: Naruto Next Generation Episode 2

How the kitten burito has more like sasuke? Maybe neji but not naruto unless there's a threesome between narutohinatasashuke. So it's kind true from what narusasu fujoshi said that burito is like the son of that gay pairing. Isn't that too much for the studio who hate sasuke to pretty much use his characterization?

I said that, in the movie and the manga Naruto claimed that he was more like Sasuke then Naruto. It was obviously a lie and just to make Bolt "cooler" by saying his personality was more in line with the edgy popular rival Sasuke then the Shounen standard idiot hero Naruto. But if they think they convince their fans of that. They would probably think that they convinced their fans that BS is the uniting of NS, nH, SK, SS,  SH, and SNS fanbases as well.

The problem is Kishimoto didn't bother to create a Hinata clone in either the ending, the gaiden, or the movie. And when the manga didn't do so either but instead copied the movie as well as seemed to go for BS. Well, by that point why add another girl after two years? Everything seemed to be pointing to they were just going to do BS and avoid any pairing conflicts, so they didn't get a repeat of NS vs nH/SS. Which no matter what those fanatics say. The pairing obsession conflicts did damage Naruto because it annoyed a large number of fans with the fact the story was being ignored for none stop 'who will end up with who' debates. Which got worst once people though Hinata was entitle to him after the Pein arc. Then when at the end all that matter was 'who ended up with who' at the sacrifice of everything else including its popularity. So starting up another pairing conflict with this franchise right now as closed to the edge it is seemed idiotic almost suicidal. Sadly we ignored how Hinata obsesses those moe otaku fanatics are at SP.

Well that's kittening stupid even since both rukia and ryuko could kick hinata's ass with no problem.

A rock defeated her.

Burito would be print by the license holder. Shuseia will not ship it oversea.

So none of the volumes have been shipped overseas? None? None. Not A Single one? So then, how did Lucky get a physical copy of the first volume written in English to take pictures of?

 

Companies need to print volumes of their manga which they then put in stores and online to sell in order to make money. If they think they got a hit or they just want to put their product out there to get as many customers as possible they will print a lot of copies which they then sell to distributors for them to sell to customers.

 

Also, in some cases companies will just print off a lot of copies to hide the fact that their product isn't selling in stores. Marvel has been doing that for years, where they been trying to hide the fact that their comics aren't selling by giving stores more comics then they requested. So when surveys like these are done they can show of comics that been printed to hide the fact that their comics aren't selling in stores.

 

Now again I don't think Shueisha doing that, yet. I think they still believe the Naruto franchise is an international seller, and that problem they been having with Boruto so far are because they have lost the Japanese fanbase. So once they got the boruto volumes they have them translated and sent to as many stores internationally as possible, and when you send three volumes to as many stores as possible across 20 or so countries it very easy to print 450,000 volumes. Now if they are selling? That is a different story.

 

Boruto at the near bottom of Shueisha's list and it can be wiped out any time. That's what happens when a story kills the plot and the main characters.

They have more manga then just those twenty. They will probably keep it going either just thinking either that is just some bad luck at the start of the story and the manga will bounce back or they are going to realizes that the Naruto franchise is no longer the money maker it once was and lower their expectations.

 

Couldn't it work the other way? Do you think Viz would scrub the line because of its sexualized nature and her being 12?

 

We have had instances before where Viz will change lines completely to suit their needs. They probably realized how inappropriate that line would be and how it would force them to boost the rating up. So they changed it while keeping a similar meaning.

Posted by Bail o' Lies on 12 April 2017 - 07:57 PM

When I heard it 4life it sounded enough like kun for me to groan in disgust. Even if it isn't the case. The traditional habit for addressing the Hokage is Hokage or their number then add sama for both, she calls him Hokage Naruto Sama, which is very redundant.

 

The main two things I notice of the episode is one) it is very generic while going through a lot of standard shounen tropes, and two) they put A Lot of focus on this new girl which sounds like they want to have either another go at the love triangle of NS vs nH/SS with BS vs BS or remake the events that led to the last (I can't call that development nor a romance) with this girl.

 

The first one just make it kind of bland and dull especially since the episode is of lower quality then the first episode. Both in animation and story.

 

The second well first off her design is really generic and bad. Her main color is just purple to the point most of her design is just various shades of purple. She wearing a sailor outfit which is about the most uninspired thing you could make a girl wear in a piece of Japanese entertainment. Say what you will about Hinata's design but at least she never wore a sailor outfit. Also they are not even attempting to make it somewhat original unless you count it being various shades or purple as original, it is just a standard sailor outfit. Her hair comes off as they first copied hinata's hair but thought it made their intentions too obvious so they added in the twin braids and then didn't bother to add any detail to since it looks flat and lifeless. Then to be honest she had more screen time then Hinata did when she was her age, but its not involvement in the plot it just reactions shots. She is both over-shown and under-important just like Hinata. Which makes the possibility of her being another Hinata along with the generic plot very blatant.

 

Well Lucky it's good some of them are happy that it is incredibly generic, predictable, and is just copying the original anime. Not that I think it will interest new or old non nH fans or anything. Seriously, they are going to disinterest any of the old fans that are not nH from watching this. For one I'm pretty sure that this will upset the SS since this makes their child possibly unimportant to the plot, and with all the kitten that been poured onto that pairing since the ending it must be draining their resolve to stay with the series. And since SS before the ending was the bigger of the two especially in Japan that means they are slowly hemorrhaging out their larger fanbase again. First the fan that love that story with the ending, now SS with what they done since. Then you get the people that were willing to give the bolt anime a chance (if they somehow didn't see the writing on the wall with that manga) since it just copying Naruto but somehow even more generic and is going to have all the same problems at the end. New fans (ie the children in Japan) well since it so generically bland I don't think kids are going to be as interested in this when they can be watch more interesting stories that are better told then this one has been so far. Which is going to drop their rating when Boruto stops being new the kids are probably going to watch the first few episode realize subconsciously its bland, then go bad to watching something else.

 

My hope if that this anime dies off either before the year end or near the beginning of next year. I may be off probably because SP is desperate to keep this going and will for as long as they can.

Going by their sense, Hinata has to be the one for Naruto, so let it be for the other Hinata this time. They made that choice for Naruto which gives the same fairly for Boruto.

I was kind of hoping with a new writer and director they wouldn't be falling for the same trap. Granted it will make some of the nH fans happy, but I'm pretty sure it will drive away all the other fans that were giving Boruto a shot. Let's just hope this means the anime will hopefully die quicker death then I was expecting.

Posted by Bail o' Lies on 12 April 2017 - 10:45 AM

So because of the peace, the academy changed from a place where hopeful ninja's went rigorous training to more general schooling with the option of learning ninjutsu. So why wasn't Bolt already enrolled in this school before he turned twelve again?

 

So Bolt was suspended for his antics last episode. Bolt tries acting cool about everything. Shika tries chewing him out while Blond Sai watches from the classroom. Cue opening, seen it so skip.

 

Bolt enters the classroom trying to act cool while announcing himself, everyone just stares. OH GOD A GIRL THAT LOOKS LIKE HINATA! So apparently Hinata was on Bolt's case because of the suspension I guess. We see a mental image and...it is just Hinata looking over him doing school work while smiling. He freaks out over this!? Then again it is Hinata smiling, but at least you can't see her eyes then. Bolt forgot his text book and pesters Shika to share with him. Oh god! The hinata clone even sounds like hinata, and is friend with the Fat Filler and Salad. Hey turns out that Bolt and Salad have hanged out because their parents are friends. Which I guess means Hinata and Sakura set them up for a group dates when they were little. Salad is annoyed when people think they are childhood friend though. Ugh, "The Clone" (that's her nickname from now on) said "Hokage Naruto-Sama-Kun." Ugh.

 

...What is Blond Sai wearing overall with a hoodie? He is very and fairly blunt. What is with the Hinata Clone's design? Its all shades of purple. Imagine hinata's hair with spikier bangs, a long braid or two that good down to her hips at least, and a sailor uniform. I like Blond Sai. He chew Bolt out, calls him privilege, and says he isn't even worthy of his trust. God The Clone has a lot of lines.

 

So Bolt is the second best in class, Salad is third, and the character we haven't meet is first...Please tell me it is not the clone. Oh good its not. Wow the all kids designs are kitten. A Ha Ha Ha well they call him "the repeater, " and he failed the exams twice. He does have a nice hat but what is with the ropes? Naruto is the strongest hokage. Well he was suppose to be that but I don't believe it. Oh the war ended Ten years ago. Wait... two years from the war to the last...these kids are eight at best? The repeater is obsess with strength and goes on and on about it. Train Boy tries to stick up for him. Repeater continues to act like a generic shounen bully with a laughable belief so Bolt will have an easy moral and opponent to defeat at the end.

 

Shino is forgotten again. Are they in the chunin third test parliamentary area or is that just suppose to remind us of when this franchise was successful? They are putting too much focus on the clone for my liking or my ears. Does she have one long braid or two artist make up your mind!

 

Fight scene. So the guys is strong as fighter but book dumb which is why he was held back. Can we have him as our main character? And here is the speech that acts as a second wind while defeating his opponent's stupid value. Skipping. Everyone respect Bolt now even the repeater has changed his way.

#936725 Naruto Shippuden Anime discussion thread

Posted by Bail o' Lies on 09 April 2017 - 11:40 AM

Well, to be fair, Tsunade was Hashirama's granddaughter, Tobirama's grandniece, and was under tutelage by Hiruzen, so while she may not have had any dedicated "training" done, she more than likely at least had a bit of off-hand experience through the former three Hokage. Also, her experiences alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru probably instilled a lot of life lessons and such in her.

I believe being Hokage simply comes down to how each person does it based on their own beliefs and not because of any sort of formal training (though I'm sure that, in some cases, there are at least some basic things taught like what to expect on the job). After all, Tobirama presumably became Hokage right after Hashirama died, Hiruzen was named Hokage by Tobirama on the spot just before Tobirama sacrificed himself to allow Hiruzen and the others to escape, and Hiruzen named Minato the fourth without any such training, so I'm guessing a lot of the leadership qualities are meant to be built via potential candidates having already proven themselves as strong and capable Jonin senseis to a team (Tobirama for Hiruzen and co., Hiruzen for the Sannin, Minato for Kakashi, Rin, and Obito), like how Minato had unquestionably done at least.

Unfortunately, we already know that Kakashi wasn't really THAT great a Jonin sensei and was most likely chosen to be the sixth Hokage far more due to his war-based reputation and relation to his father,

And Naruto was never truly a "leader" in anything. Sure, he could inspire people with Talk no Jutsu, but that's not the same as actually leading anyone personally into battle, making (personal) sacrifices for others for a greater good, having to defer your own beliefs at times because they just don't work at times, and so on, If they simply wanted someone who can talk pretty, then he could've become a movie/TV star, be in commercials, tour the country and sell bonds or something ala Captain America initially, or something, but it's pretty obvious that being Hokage is WAY beyond him BECAUSE he never had a chance to build up the necessary qualities nor had any idea what the job truly entailed beyond simply being "the strongest". He never got beyond that naive view of what the job was.

It's like how little kids in the US naively think becoming the President of the United States would be one of the best and coolest jobs ever because all they see at the moment is being the one in charge, like a king, emperor, CEO, or something who would call all the shots, and obviously have no clue whatsoever about how much hard work is actually required, how they can't simply do whatever they want and will have to make compromises, how there is FAR more to the world besides just the US and having to learn that their decisions aren't always limited to just the US and have consequences, and so on.

Kakashi got the hokage role because SP put him there for Hinata's Big Movie. There is no logical reason he should've became hokage if Tsunade was still alive. Kakashi was always consider a potential candidate for the position in case of emergence in part two if Tsunade were to die, but he never wanted the position nor was interested in it (ignore what Obito told him to do, because that was something kishi had to add because SP made him the Sixth in their movie by that point.) Tsunade since she decided to take the position of hokage made it clear both in universe and out that she was holding the position until she thought Naruto was ready to take up the mantle. So there no reason for her to hand the title over to kakashi instead of just waiting for Naruto to grow up other then; The Last.

 

Your right that Naruto never became a leader. We don't know if he became a jonin. We don't know if he trained a genin team. Hell we don't know if he has ever led a team period. All we know is that since the war arc he married hinata and had two spoiled rotten brats with her. Hell we know that shikamaru probably trained a genin team because he promised to train Asuma's kid.

He really shouldn't have that much if he uses shadow clones. Also I heard naruto only became hokage recently then if that's the case then why does bolts have daddy issues.

Did you see the hokage inauguration? Both his kids are spoiled brats. The daughter is actually worst then Bolt. The reason Bolt acts this way is he never actually seen his dad have job before. It is never explained what Naruto did before he became hokage, so we can only assume he just spent that time with his family. (Maybe every once and awhile he could have gone on a mission but it could be that since his wife family is loaded her father could be financing his family while he wait for till Kakashi passes the job down to him.) But because he was never trained for the job before he became hokage. He immediately became overwhelmed by his new job that he had to neglect his family to handle it. Since he has less time for his family then he used to, Bolt resents him and his new job because he isn't playing with bolt as often as he did before the job.

 

So Bolt is lashing out the Daddy isn't home as much as he wants or is used to.

First episode revealed that Boruto has the Tenseigan like Toneri. And that was while he was still a academy student

He not even an academy student yet at he end of the episode he is enrolled. He also knows the shadow clones jutsu. Also he like eleven when he father was in the academy since he was at least six.
