I wish they weren't taking this direction with the series.

I liked Boruto creating Boruto Stream and I liked him coming up with clever ways to utilize his jutsu. I don't like harnessing the power of a dead Ootsuki to be OP asf.

Idk, guess I'm just tired of "huge power inside protagonist that usually comes out under duress and may have bad side effects but it makes them hella powerful so they eventually learn to control it). It's like everywhere.

Naruto and Kurama

Sasuke and Curse Seal

Meliodas and his demon powers

Midoriya and One for All

Eren and his Titan form.

It's suuuucccchhhhh a common trope. I thought that by making Boruto a lazy prodigy, they'd be getting away from this. He'd have to think of unique ways to advance and continue forward. This kind of storytelling was why I got into Naruto. But nope, just slap an Ootsuki in him and he'll be fine.
