Talk:Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Image
Shall we use the image from the announcement page for the article? Norleon (talk) 11:39, December 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why not? But I prefer the issue cover of WSJ that will contain the first chapter of this series (if released of course). Until that time, we can use this image. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 13:44, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Chapter references
Okay. So at one point, a few users felt there was no need to specify the name of the manga we were referencing, because at the time, it was blatantly obvious that we were referring to the Naruto manga, as there weren't multiple manga series to document at the time. However, with this new Boruto manga, I would guess that the need to specify which manga series we are referencing is indeed important now, right? None of us anticipated there would be another series that continued the Naruto manga. Over a year ago, I had edited hundreds of articles to make the change. I am willing to change those back (or request the usage of a bot, whichever is wanted, though the bot does not get everything) for the upcoming monthly manga series. I would think using "Chapter 0, page 0" and "Boruto chapter 0, page 0" would be confusing without using "Naruto chapter 0, page 0" to specify the former. But I must ask first: Does anyone think this change is necessary for the upcoming series? Or no? 23:14, March 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * It would make sense to do this. Munchvtec (talk) 23:17, March 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * I was discussing that very thing with a few users on chat. Which is also why I stooped making redirects for the Naruto manga as I najed them "Chapter ?" because like you said. We didn't anticipate a new manga series. Of course I'll need to rename them "Naruto chapter ?". To answer your concern, I agree that referencing pages "Boruto chapter ?" and "Naruto chapter ?" is what we should do. However, I don't think a bot is necessary. There are plenty of users to helo out on this change. --Rai 水 (talk) 23:24, March 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * Seeing how this discussion is now in the forum, it makes this one redundant. Makes things inconvenient for me, but whatever. Do as you please. 06:59, March 22, 2016 (UTC)
 * Soooo, are we decided on this yet? :x 00:34, March 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't know how the chapters will be numbered. If it starts with chapter 7+11 or 711, the change seems unnecessary, but if not, i support the change. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 06:12, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Reboot
So now that first chapter of the Boruto series is out and its chapters don't continue from 700+10, we can start making the changes to references - changing "Chapter ?" to "Naruto chapter ?". My question is, should we, when referubg the Boruto series, put "Boruto chapter ?" or "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations chapter ?". --Rai 水 (talk) 20:57, May 4, 2016 (UTC)

Canoncity
If supervised by Kishimoto, would it be canon?Cloudtheavenger (talk) 02:11, May 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * "The series serves as an official continuation of the Naruto franchise". --Sarutobii2 (talk) 02:21, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

Chapter release dates
Should we start including the Japanese & English release dates of the chapters in there infoboxes, like we do for anime episodes & volumes? It would be more informative imo. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 18:33, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Anime article
So, isn't there an article for neither Denki, the character introduced in the first anime episode of Boruto, neither an article for the episode itself. HygorBohmHubner (talk) 21:51, April 6, 2017
 * I usually create the episode articles, but I don't believe the infoboxes have been updated to understand there are two anime series now. If I filled out all the appropriate fields, stuff would get a bit wonky. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:11, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

So, what you're saying, there won't be no Boruto anime episode articles? HygorBohmHubner - Talk
 * There certainly will be. I'm just saying that as things are now, they'd have to be created without filling certain infobox parameters, or without infoboxes at all until they can be adjusted. I asked about them in the thread about the episode, but no one really noticed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:34, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Novel
Novel Version?. --Sharingan91 (talk) 15:05, April 26, 2017 (UTC)

5 years
Where was it said that the anime takes place 5 years before the manga? There's no source.Yahyanime (talk) 21:24, April 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Boruto episode 2 says it has been 10 years since the world war, and the Boruto movie which the manga starts off with is said to be 15 years after the war. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 21:29, April 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * ...although I don't give a rat's ass about Naruto anymore, I maaaaybe should watch the anime, for the sake of my timeline... are there any more dates or anything? • Seelentau 愛 議 21:52, April 27, 2017 (UTC)

Novel "titles"
Just in case someone wants to create articles for the novels, here are their titles or... well, what is said above the "Novel 1/2" on the cover: • Seelentau 愛 議 13:34, June 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Novel 1:
 * Novel 2:
 * In the moment, I've added titles on this page. --Sharingan91 (talk) 17:28, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

Vol 73 + Question
The Scarlet Spring arc is finally getting animated. Now, my question is: It says, "Ghost Incident arc" so do we have an official name for the second arc in the Boruto manga? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 18:42, July 8, 2017 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
 * Currently there's no name for the current manga arc, though given the plot it should be renamed to "Mujina Bandits Arc" if it doesn't receive an official name. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 20:11, July 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * He obviously meant the anime... :)--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 23:21, July 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * @Sarutobii2: I agree, we should call it that name. @BerserkerPhantom: Yes, sorry, I meant the anime. I should have clarified. Thank you for the clarification. In any case, yes, I am referring to the anime. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 23:44, July 8, 2017 (UTC)Kiumaruhamachi

Novel 1
On this page we have it called "The New Leaves Soaring Through the Blue Sky!", so why is it in the novel debut section in the infobox is it called "The New Konoha Ninja Flying In the Blue Sky!"? --Rai 水 (talk) 04:36, March 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Bump --Rai 水 (talk) 19:01, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Because nobody updated the debut section since August 2017, I suppose. • Seelentau 愛 議 20:03, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * So is the official name the latter than? If so, I'll get to changing it and the redirect. --Rai 水 (talk) 20:06, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * No, the one in this article. • Seelentau 愛 議 20:33, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok. So to be clear, it is called "The New Konoha Ninja Flying In the Blue Sky!"? --Rai 水 (talk) 20:35, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * ... • Seelentau 愛 議 20:41, March 21, 2018 (UTC)

Did you misunderstand what I was asking? --Rai 水 (talk) 20:55, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * No. • Seelentau 愛 議 21:16, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * So what was the "..." for? I know I used latter, but I was talking about the name used on this page. If it is called the latter, than the infoboxes need to be updated. If not, the name on this page needs to be changed. --Rai 水 (talk) 21:22, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think you know what "latter" means. • Seelentau 愛 議 22:35, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Why are you avoiding my question with snarky remarks for? Either you can help me or you can't. Like I said there are two different names. If you know what the name really is, then make the edit(s) please. --Rai 水 (talk) 02:49, March 22, 2018 (UTC)

To clear things up, he did answer your question: "On this page we have it called 'The New Leaves Soaring Through the Blue Sky!'..." "So is the official name the latter than? If so, I'll get to changing it and the redirect." "No, the one in this article." "This page" = "This article" = "The New Leaves Soaring Through the Blue Sky!" is what he was referring to as the correct translation. So not "The New Konoha Ninja Flying In the Blue Sky!". EDIT: Updated the infoboxes accordingly. 04:16, March 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * @Windy Thank you. Much appreciated. --Rai 水 (talk) 04:19, March 22, 2018 (UTC)

I answered the question with my first reply: "so why is it in the novel debut section in the infobox is it called "The New Konoha Ninja Flying In the Blue Sky!"?" => "Because nobody updated the debut section since August 2017". No idea why Rai would think the official name is the one in the infobox. • Seelentau 愛 議 16:01, March 22, 2018 (UTC)

Official character English names
A book that i believe came out with Japanese 2nd Boruto dvd boxset features English names for characters that differ from the ones we use on the wiki. From the names, which articles should be renamed if any? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 08:00, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell (I didn't bother with the anime), they're just romanised differently, no? Or do the characters in this pamphler have entirely different names? • Seelentau 愛 議 13:17, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Those names are written in another romanisation system. Different methods of writing (eg, Wāpuro vs Hepburn) but still the same. --SUIV (talk) 13:52, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * They look like the names Crunchyroll uses (ex. Killer B -> Killer Bee), so... No? We don't use viz names either (C -> Shee, Onoki -> Ohnoki, etc.), so why should we use these?--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 15:01, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

Anime arcs
Apparently, there are six arcs? The page doesn't give any names, but it breaks the anime down into six stories/events... • Seelentau 愛 議 18:48, March 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * So let's pretend a few of us don't speak Japanese and cannot interpret that page. Does it tell us what those six arcs are?--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 19:09, March 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, what the pictures show. I think the only difference is that the page differs between Academy and Ghost Incident arcs. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:25, March 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * The Ghost Incident at the earliest begins at episode 7 judging by the image used. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 18:13, March 27, 2018 (UTC)

Found this game on the anime's website that i guess is in relation to arcs. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 02:53, April 5, 2018 (UTC)

Arc Names
This scan where the Graduation Arc was officially named, this scan named the upcoming Boruto Chunin Exams,  (sharing the same to Naruto's) implies it a seperated arc and there's will likely a cut-off to Versus Momoshiki Arc.--Sulina (talk) 12:16, April 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * By any chance do the scans indicate what date/episode the two arcs begin/began? Trying to determine how accurate our arc pages are after discovering this which seemingly lists the Graduation Exams Arc spanning from episode 34-37. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 10:01, April 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * Some arcs and details are there, total 06 along with episodes covering, as listed:
 * Eps. 1-16 (already stated here);
 * Eps. 17-24;
 * Eps. 25-32;
 * Eps. 34-37;
 * Eps. 40-42;
 * Eps. 43-47;
 * This also said the upcoming Chūnin Exams event from Boruto: Naruto the Movie story will adapt into in the anime in April but no confirmation about how long this arc goes beside the old info about reincorporating Kishimoto's initial movie draft we already knew.--Sulina (talk) 15:32, April 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * Appreciate you taking the time to look into the matter. Taking into account what Seel posted right above, what should we do? The two arc structures conflict with one another. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 16:21, April 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * DVD BOX1 contains episodes 1-15, explicitly named "Academy Entrance Arc", notes that it spans from Boruto's entrance to the Academy to the climax of The Ghost Incident (ep. 15). Unlikely, BOX2 includes eps 16-32, consists two arcs: Sarada Uchiha Arc and School Trip Arc.--Sulina (talk) 19:38, April 7, 2018 (UTC)

>Regarding the "Chunin Exams Arc". You do realise, @Sulina, that it's the Vs. Momoshiki arc under a different name, right? Or are you really confused, 'cuz if you are, please tell me so I could be certain that you're not trolling... Just like the Sarada Uchiha arc was re-named for the anime release. The poster clearly emphasizes that the Momoshiki fight is part of the arc, and the Vs. Momoshiki arc contains the Chunin Exams in the manga, and on this wiki, we follow the manga's choice of arc precedent, so...--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 20:46, April 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * From the scan I provided, beside the arc name, no details about the story and it never states that the Arc will focus on VS Momoshiki even though the visual showed Ōtsutsuki trio. Well, you can put them aside. From @Sarutobi, the Chunin Exams from Boruto Movie will be adapted into the latest arc borrowing element from Kishimoto's draft for the movie. Possibly, following suits of the short length of previous Boruto arcs, there'll be more than 01 arc we could see in the anime series. --Sulina (talk) 16:02, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * How can there be two separate arcs when the poster specifies that it is for this arc in particular (an arc that starts in April, they said), and that it'll contain Boruto's fight with Momoshiki...? O.o Some flawed thinking if you ask me.--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 17:14, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * For promotional purpose maybe? People would heat up for a climax boss battle rather than a group of genin showing off their skills. Believe me, I'd like to see more specific details but...--Sulina (talk) 17:30, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * And you mean to say that TV scans are not for promotional purposes????? o.O Wat?--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 17:32, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * Did I? The scan shows Ōtsutsuki villain trio but possibly they're not the main focus of this arc but the upcoming Chunin Exams, or not, that's what I meant "promotional," in addition to what I said above.--Sulina (talk) 17:38, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, what? "Not the main focus"? Opening, ending, promotional material, etc. would suggest otherwise. I don't think you know how promotional material works. :/--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 17:44, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * "Product image for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary." like this? Unless it explicitly says that the arc will adapt Momoshiki's fight, I won't think such case happen. Chunin Exams Arc for Chunin Exams and we should wait for further announcements.--Sulina (talk) 17:51, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * It did. And promotional material for anime doesn't work like that, it's done months in advance, and is used to get people hyped for the zenith/high point of the arc in question.--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 17:55, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
