Ninja Of War wrote: Again, the anime and novel expand in two different ways with regards to Izumi. So I don't see how not picking a side, is cherry-picking. There are two ways to not pick a side: accept both or accept neither. In the comment from Squinty that I originally quoted, he was using the absence of something in the anime as evidence for why the same something in the novel is suspect. That seems like choosing a side.

I don't mean to pick on Squinty, in case that's how I'm coming off. I only followed this thread sporadically and happened to notice that one thing he said. It's likely his views are more consistent/fleshed out than I'm giving him credit for.

Ninja Of War wrote: I doubt that's what @Squinty is doing. If @Squinty says: I find more validity in a feat if there's more than one source confirming it.Then why not accept that as a POV? I have no problem with that rationalization, hence why I responded to it with, "okay." But if your POV excludes a particular media, then why get involved in a discussion about it? I don't watch the anime or read the Boruto manga, and therefore would never get into discussions about either, because I know nothing about them and don't benefit from debating their merits.

Ninja Of War wrote: One user and I are probably to blame for most of that word count. Though, I would add that it was repetitive usage on what we actually meant. But we got to an understanding, which means something good at least. Well hopefully you've sorted things out in a way that it won't be repeated elsewhere. This thread started off as though it could be a fun what-if about whether or Tsukuyomi would work as a hyperbolic time chamber. And then things went south.
