Board Thread:Boruto Discussions/@comment-31278419-20170502155353

They've been kinda dashed. I'm only up to the third episode and already they did something that made my friends and I who watch anime together scream out, "What?" That moment was when Boruto asked Hinata about the byakugan. Ten years old already stronger then many ninja who are already genin rank or even chuunin rank cause he can use shadow clones, the son of the hokage, and Hintata Hyuga and he doesn't know what the bysakugan is? What the hell is that garbage? His aunt Hanabi is the head of the clan at this point, as was his grandfather. That's so stupid it boggled my mind there is no excuse for him not knowing about the byakugan or Hyuga clan in character. Out of character yes, it's to explain to the new viewers what it is, but it could have been handled so much better. Boruto asking about that is so far one of the dumbest things I've seen in Boruto and Naruto combined. It's one thing when Naruto asked back in the day because they were setting up the clans and explaining them to the readers. Now though pretty sure most viewers know what that the byakugan or hyuga clan is.

This just makes Boruto look stupid and Hinata and Naruto look like bad parents/relatives of the hyuga clan that one of their freaking half hyuga kids doesn't know about that. IT'S STUPID THAT ANYONE DOESN'T KNOW THE CLANS OF KONOHA ESPECIALLY THOSE TRAINING TO BE SHINOBI OR WHOSE FRIENDS ARE PART OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT CLANS! IT'S AKIN TO LIVING IN MEMPHIS AND BEING RELATED TO A TEAM MEMBER OF THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES AND NOT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE. COME ON! I had high hopes for the show for some fights have been decent and smart like Metal Lee vs Boruto, Inojin, and Shikada, but my god if I could smack the writers without getting sued I would.
