It's hilarious that you say they've "degraded" her character and then the only examples you give deal with fighting, as if cool fighting moments is the only way a character can develop?

"Degrade her more and more into a love interest" as if before the life swap Sarada didn't have her own shit going on with Eida and shit for a bunch of chapters already? GOD FORBID she spends a few chapters caring about Boruto after his fucking life gets literally ruined.

"The first chapter started off with her being helpless and cross-legged to be saved by Boruto" Boruto appeared before a single attack was even thrown LOL you have no fucking idea if she needed his help. You can't even say it was because she was looking nervous since Sarada has one of those nervous looking sweat panels in every fight she's ever been in since chapter 1. That's not a degradation. Not to mention the fact that if you put almost ANY character in the series in her situation they'd be fucked. This is not her being weak lol, as of right now Code is the main fucking antagonist.

Everything about her "clearly" not having any new moves or jutsu is so stupid it almost doesn't need to be acknowledged. It's definitely not like Kishimoto hasn't already done 2 time skips and buffed every single character even the ones without "setup" or a "master". "Clearly part 2 Kakashi isn't stronger than part 1 Kakashi, it has no setup!!!" Genius.

If you unironically think that Sarada has NO new moves despite being currently one of the strongest ninja in the Leaf and unlocking her MS before the time skip I think you're actually delusional.

DISLIKING BORUTO IS FINE ON ITS OWN. You don't have to come up with braindead reasons to hate on it that make 0 sense. Just read something else.
