The inconsistency is real!!
I mean look I'm not against prequel stories, but you also have to consistency when it comes to the original timeline. Like Boruto's eye showcasing the byakugan in Episode 1 prior to him joining the academy does come out of nowhere. I mean when you open the episode it's the first couple pages for the manga chapter 1, and that was fine since it was years into the future after the movie. However, having it be a thing that Boruto is born (possibly) retcons that part of the story as far as the anime is concerned. Same thing with Hinata you don't see her being what Boruto describes her to be in the first couple episodes especially when you have the movie. She lets her son do whatever she wants, and 4life knows exactly what I'm reffering to when I mention that because as a parent she fails.
It doesn't matter that she's showcasing those qualities in the anime, but again it's a damn prequel so things need to line up with what's already come, and last I check Boruto The Movie came out long before The anime did.
Ugh.. I can't believe a series like this would stoop this low, and I know There will probably never be a day where I make peace with this series cause the damn ending took away any credibility it had left.
Remember its not just a byakugan as some people have pointed out. It is a tenseigan, much worst and far more bull-kitten-ty.
The problem is with that lines is have we even in the anime ever seen Hinata get mad? She may have gotten serious, but has she ever gotten mad? Even then the next episode when Hinata was watching over bolt all she was doing was smiling while he freaked out. So even they don't even show her getting mad and going disciplinarian on him when she had the full rights to.
Honestly I been thinking about it and there is vast difference between Naruto's and His son (I hate this term) Talk-no-Jutsu. Both how they do it, and what the message is behind it. As I mention above how both are handle are vastly different despite the same out line; "Naruto was an idiot that when people first met him nobody respected, but slowly over the course of an arc he would convince his nay-sayers to believe in him after showing them his hard work. grit, determination, empathy, and sticking with his values. With Bolt, he walks in everyone thinks he is a jack-ass then he wins a fight then everyone worships him." And the message behind them are the complete opposite.
Lets look at the first two people both of these two main character changed through their actions Konohamaru and Inari for Naruto and Train Boy and The Repeater for Bolt.
Konohamaru starts out as a boy trying to assassinate his own grandfather. His reason for doing this is he feels he doesn't have his own identity and he is merely living in his grandfather's shadow, so by killing him he hopes to gain recognition beyond being the Third's grandson. After Naruto teaches him the sexy jutsu, and gives him a speech about how difficult the path to becoming hokage really is, this changes Konohamaru into a hard working boy that wants to work his way to becoming hokage.
Inari starts off as a pessimistic boy who thinks standing up for oneself is pointless because all it leads to is death. After both Naruto and Inari learn more about each other, Naruto intense training, and saving Inari and his mother. All this was able to changed Inari into a boy that was willing to stand up to Gato even if it meant death and was able to convince the entire fishing village to stand up with him.
Train Boy is a coward that father wants him to become a ninja because he was a ninja before he became rich and feels that it will toughen up his boy and teach him good work ethics. Bolt tells him to just ignore his father by logic is that Bolt's father is kitten and doesn't follow through with his punishments so Train boy should just ignore his father because of that. Then Bolt runs off because it late and he doesn't want to get his mom mad at him. Then Train Boy get possessed, fight happens, and then he goes to become a ninja just like his father wanted along.
The Repeater resents the fact he was hold back despite his obvious skill because he didn't care about the other education in the school that wasn't ninja training. His resentment leads to him acting like a bully, that then Bolt beats up. Then he goes to all his classes like a good boy.
Now Naruto deals with people that normally have lost faith in themselves, the people that have given up and have just taken the easy road what that maybe:killing the hokage, being a pessimistic spoiled brat, a psychopathic killer, a fatalist kitten, nut jobs that want to destroy the world, and so on. Then through Naruto's actions and words he inspires them to not give up on their dreams or life and take the difficult path in order to pursue those once abandoned dreams. Since Naruto was alone for the first 12 years of his life all he had were his dreams and if he gave up on those he would be the same as all those he faced, and changed.
Bolt despite his initial claims that he is a rebel that ignores adults and doesn't care about what people think because he is just too awesome. But if you look at how he actually behaves and what he ultimately teaches those two boys is conformity, and obeying your adult figure in your lives to the point that their desires are more important then yours'. He is ultimately just a brat that wants his father to discipline him, and he has no goal other then continue Sasuke's line of work because it looks cool.
