@Babyfriend

That's a good point about Momshiki only stepping in to help if Boruto's life is on the line, though that does mean that the stakes for Brotuo are limited because Boruto essentially can't die unless he fights some form of Isshiki

When did I ever say Boruto's struggles are meaningless? I never said that. I mean, his struggles against that Kara member were pretty meaningless in the end, but I never said all Boruto's struggles are meaningless

Idk your point about Naruto not fighting for his life in the Chunin exams. So what? He has to fight for his life in many other occasions.

You're comparing the Jonin stepping in to save Naruto to Momoshiki stepping in to save Boruto? Lol one issue with that is those Jonin don't just follow him around to bail him out if he's ever in trouble.

Yeah, he can lose if it doesn't kill him, but it does mean that tension is lowered because Boruto himself will always be okay in the end to come back, so long as he's not fighting someone of equal power (which there's basically no one beside Isshiki)

You didn't really acknowledge Kurama not being a get out of jail free card lol, you said he was until Sasuke. But how did Kurama save him when Kabuto nearly killed him? How did Kurama save him when Orochimaru sealed him and tossed him aside?

I don't see how you can look at Naruto and not realize he was nearly beaten. Naruto took most of the damage from their clash, and literally barely won. Digging a hole and punching up from it would be way more impressive if this wasn't a series about ninja who routinely jump huge distances effortlessly and survive ridiculous impacts basically unscathed.
