Swag sage wrote: Am I the only one irritated at the Boruto story line. They say he is a genius but we barely see him train, he sleeps all day and eats fast food. Kakashi was a genius and he worked so hard he inspired someone who had no hope of becoming a powerful like guy into working hard. Kakashi is a genius. we never saw him train. Itachi was a genius. we never saw him train. Minato was a genius. we never saw him train. Swag sage wrote: Almost all the characters are literally copies of their parents. This was already true in Naruto Part 1. It never stopped being true. Swag sage wrote: Boruto is keeps getting new powers thrown at him for no relevant reason, take the jougan for instance and the on coming “harvest”, toneri would not bother telling Naruto or hinata the people who saved him, forgave him and showed him the error of his beliefs but rather tell Boruto and give him a cool new dojutsu and why, just because? unlike Sasuke, who got his Sharingan at the most convenient moment, or Naruto, who suddenly showed Kurama's chakra out of nowhere. Plus, Toneri apparently foresaw the future. Wouldn't that include knowing that telling Naruto or Hinata is pointless? As to the Jougan, we have no idea, not even the name is official.

Swag sage wrote: Most of the new characters have no goals or things that drive them, just being blunt here. Which is the point. Naruto was born in an era of strife. Boruto in an era of peace. Finding a true goal is difficult in this era. Boruto wanted to become a Ninja for fun, the anime made that clear. Swag sage wrote: Kaguya was raising a white zetsu army for kinshiki and he literally got defeated by people who aren’t close to Hagoromo and Hamura is disturbing. It wasn't just for them. Momoshiki and Kinshiki represent the otsutsuki homeworld. She was preparing to fight the entire clan, not just the vanguard.
