Well, the mangaka of Berserk, Kentaro Muira died.
Summary Time: Chapter 58. The Right Job for Idiots and Bastard...well for once it wasn't a single word title, and clearly the right job is working on Boruto as only idiots and the bastards that wanted this mess should be working on this crap.
The cover page is two pages this time of the cast. What the hell is the Punk wearing? Is he going to the opera? Maybe I should have called him the Punk of the Opera. Their clothing is very uninteresting compared to Naruto's old cast get ups and half the cast back then were just wearing those flak vest.
Art is still awful.
So, the chapter starts off with Naruto giving Bolt the meds Madoc gave him from last time. He apparently just gave his son the pill bottle instead of having it tested, of course like I thought he would. CHRIST THAT FACE!!! Sorry, Bolt decides to just swallow one, which surprises Naruto, and Ikemoto shows that he can't do a proper gag face reaction. How can someone fail at that call themselves a manga artist? Generic talk about accepting risk.
Nail criticizes Bolt for taking unknown meds adding risks to their plan to give Karma to Punk. Oh and for once Cups and Salad are involved in this little group. Salad tells them to stop arguing which leads to Nail arguing with her, while Konohamaru and Naruto watch on. Hey Konohamaru, aren't these brats you're students? Oh right Boruto started wearing Sasuke's old headband with the slash through it...this is the first time in awhile I think they have even remember he was wearing that, because I don't remember seeing that in other chapters. Hell, they didn't even remember it for the cover pages. Anyways, Nail find the meditation drills they are doing useless so he wants to spar. Konohamaru wants to intervene for some reason -I think it was because it started by sneak attack- but is stopped by Naruto. Salad tries to remind him that she is suppose to make the decision as team captain, who he recommended her being in the first place. I hope you an all see their attempt to try to keep her relevant when it clear that the story itself is increasingly making her irrelevant.* Nail brings up more of his trouble backstory and how he was always trained in grueling combat drills.
Nail does his tree arm thing. Salad launches a fire attack, and shurikens. Nail does a fake out with a Shadow clone for another sneak attack. Bolt blocks saying Nail going too extreme. And it turns into a match between Nail and Bolt. Nail wins they do things his way, Bolt wins Nail behaves. Again, what I said above.* It would have been better if Salad had this fight to assert herself as team captain instead of being saved by Bolt, but this is the Nail and Bolt show. Fight. Fight. Fight. Bolt activates karma...isn't that something he is suppose to avoid doing!?! Throws a lighting attack that beats Nail because he is not uses to not having Karma yet. Again, why are they relying on something they have been informed was dangerous and rapidly was consuming them? Stock Shounen speech about friendship. Naruto is proud, Konohamaru says he sounds like Naruto. Nail wants to get stronger.
Next chapter June 20th.
