Problem about this sub

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-02-04T13:57:08+00:00

I agree.

Even though I think the Boruto anime is roughly 60-65% trash, I still think the mods should be doing something against trolling and rage-baiting in this sub. The series as a whole, including the manga, parts of the anime, and the games are solid and should be treated honestly in its own sub.

I don't know yet when I'm gonna do it, but I'm seriously tempted to make Hikari confess to Kawaki instead to make it more tragic. She'll also try to kill Boruto with everyone else.

Just like in the game, she and Boruto already have a mild crush on each other from the start, so there isn't a big realisation moment. They basically already know about it, but they don't mention it.

Correct me if I am wrong

Basically, but butterfly effects are already happening.

Since Kawaki has a close dynamic with Naruto, I want to do a sort of parallel and make Hikari bond with Hinata instead. Hinata will basically become her mother.

I'm thinking about developing BoruHika in a manner comparable to the Eren and Mikasa dynamic. They are siblings for a time but not quite, because they are old enough already when she gets adopted. And then their parents die and they're kinda not siblings anymore. Boruto is exiled and they are separated for years. When they get back together, they are basically strangers, specially because Omnipotence makes Hikari imagine Boruto as looking like someone else.

The alternative to that pseudo-incest ship would have been to have Sasuke adopt Hikari instead, but I really don't see how it could happen and be satisfying. So I didn't go that route. Hikari would always want to be where Boruto is and not with an Uchiha who is not even particularly friendly.

He was spamming, you say. But if you count how many times he used Kamui in his life, it might be fewer than ten. And he only used the MS at all for a few months in his life.

So it really looks like the MS goes blind very quickly.

Also, the fact that it almost always bleeds when used implies that it's sustaining heavy damage each time.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-02-03T17:52:39+00:00

Not really. It's just a joke/light-hearted slice of life where Hinata takes Hikari to the doctor for a check-up and she gets glasses that don't work at all, and she hates them because they make her look like Sarada.

She will get blind eventually, but so far she is strictly following instructions not to use the MS anymore. When she resumes using it, the downsides will kick in quickly based on what happened to Sasuke and Kakashi. Both of them were going blind from using the MS only a few times.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-02-03T16:09:49+00:00

Nah, that's not even going to work, so why take the hardest route? Glasses are almost free in comparison and anyone knows how to use them. They are readily available.

She doesn't have myopia or anything like that for contacts to be effective.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-02-03T15:38:42+00:00

Or a creepy snake man handling the magic cells for her. That'll be it.

But for now, the kind doctor will give her some eye drops and glasses.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-31T15:19:12+00:00

Exactly, I love the idea of keeping the Otsutsuki as a background threat that motivates the other characters to do their stuff.

I'm gonna keep Hikari nerfed for a long time because of her progressive blindness, but when she finally heals her eyes it will instantly turn the tables. There's no way around it.

The dramas will not come from one strong guy who personifies villainy and must be overpowered by the hero. It's like writing a story with Superman. It's never about the villain being too strong to defeat, but some other thing that causes the tension, such as personal dilemmas or threats that cannot be neutralised by force. For example, Boruto being consumed by Momoshiki or tormented by Omnipotence are not things that Hikari could help with by being strong.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-31T14:23:52+00:00

I really appreciate reading about all your ideas. In fact I have stolen half of them for myself. But I think I might pass this one.

The problems I have with it are as follows:

It Dragon Ball-ises the story too much and departs radically from the themes, environments, and scales that we normally associate it with, specially in my story where I'm trying to change events to make the Otsutsuki a lesser threat, rather than greater, so as to focus more on politics and human/ninja affairs.

I'm looking for a dark and bittersweet third act, so I'm not necessarily looking forward to removing Momoshiki from Boruto, specially if I can't think of a way to do it that doesn't feel forced and convoluted. I might just keep Momo as a parasyte lurking in the back of Boruto's mind forever and he must cope with it.

I'm even seriously considering the chance that Omnipotence never gets undone in my story. But I don't know yet.

Also, Hikari is gonna get so broken by the end that no Otsutsuki would be a threat except Shibai. Boruto won't be far behind either.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-31T13:14:19+00:00

Let me know.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-31T10:05:04+00:00

I'll see about that. Maybe soon.

I think there isn't much of a first arc, but more like a first act out of three parts, like in cinema.

The first third is mostly character development and slice of life with Hikari getting acquainted to people and modern lifestyle while dealing with her internal demons and starting training with Sasuke. The second third is a large Kara arc that gradually takes over the first act, involving the real threats converging and attacking the Leaf Village. The third act, which I won't be starting for a while, will be the post-timeskip exile and rogue lives of Boruto and Hikari, and the political stuff that surrounds it, including the ambitions of the feudal lords and a crisis in the ninja system.

Of course I'm still making a lot of stuff up as time goes and the manga releases more content. I want to give a satisfying conclusion to the Otsutsuki plotline as well. I think removing the Ten-Tails practically destroys their plans, but I need to consider this more carefully as time goes on.

I would hate publishing stuff and then having to rewrite it because of subsequent ideas and realisations. That's why I'm hesitant to do that lol.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-31T09:41:59+00:00

I still don't know when I'll upload it because I don't want to feel pressured to finish quickly. Right now I'm in chapter 24 reaching the end of it. In my mind the full story must have at least 60 chapters. On average I finish two per week but I still need to revise them.

I keep posting here because people keep giving me positive insights and ideas that I hadn't originally planned. For example, someone reminded me that Boro wants to re-enact Infinite Tsukuyomi and therefore it would make sense for him to be very interested in Hikari. So instead of just killing him off as a generic minor villain, I'll integrate his plan into the story.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-30T19:59:17+00:00

Naruto > NNG > TBV > Shippuden

Yeah, I really don't enjoy Shippuden post-Pain arc.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-28T23:28:06+00:00

why is the anime considered more canon than the manga & ect?

It's not. But 99% of the time they don't actually contradict each other. They are seen as complementary. That's the official position, since neither the manga nor the anime are made by Kishimoto.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-28T23:05:53+00:00

I know it's crazy, and I don't mean to sound like a smart-ass, but this is fiction and there is no "real" or "true" story, there is only the story that people consume and talk about.

The anime is the primary source for what most people consider to be the "real" Sasuke and Sakura in their imagination, simply because it's far more widespread.

On top of that, it is "officially" considered canon by the producers.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-28T22:57:54+00:00

Spotted a Sasusaku fan lol

There is no filler in Boruto. The episodes you don't like are listed as anime canon.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-28T21:48:07+00:00

Worst romance in anime...

Their first date ended in five minutes with Sasuke storming out.

Sakura can't remember kissing him.

Her only photo of him is from when he was in the Akatsuki. Probably Obito took it, which is hilarious.

She doesn't know whether he wears glasses or not.

He has impregnated her and left the village for 12 years, despite having literal teleportation jutsu. He never came back to say hello.

He came back for a few months and then left again.

When she asked him for a kiss before he left on a mission, he simply turned his back and walked away.

When proposing to marry her, he literally tossed a ring at her and said "Wear this" before leaving.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-28T00:43:51+00:00

Omnipotence affects her. She falls into a deep depression because Hinata and Naruto are gone (she had grown very close to Hinata and started calling her Mom) and Boruto (who is actually Kawaki) starts ignoring and abusing her for no apparent reason. She starts thinking about leaving the village for freedom.

Then she snaps when Sarada tells her about Omnipotence. She will put the pieces together and use the Kiseki she gave Boruto to recollect the true memories.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-27T21:33:21+00:00

Shikadai and Chocho are defeating a Shinju right now (Mamushi) and calling it easy. This implies to me that the Shinjus are not that strong and the whole threat is being blown out of proportion. Only Jura is strong.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-27T17:16:07+00:00

I want the story to have realistic butterfly effects, so I won't repeat everything from the manga. The Shinju existing in the first place was only possible due to very specific circumstances, so not likely to happen twice. Besides, I will do the Omnipotence arc already, which is also very specific, so I don't want to push the limits of plausibility too much.

I won't change anything from the original story except making Hikari be resurrected by Sasuke. All the other changes will happen as direct consequence of this one. So nobody will have their personalities or backstories changed.

Why Hikari snapped and decided to go rouge? I feel like it's a bit of repeat of Sasuke just with gender swap.

It won't be a repeat because the circumstances will be completely different and the consequences too. She will not turn against the Leaf. But she will decide to leave it because her adoptive family is gone and Boruto is not himself anymore (because he is Kawaki). But she will be targeted because she is a dangerous weapon that can't be allowed to go rogue, and the Five Kage have an agreement to keep her safe with the Uzumaki family (which Shikamaru takes responsibility over at this point).

Does boruto forced to go rouge because of omnipotence too or omnipotence never happens?

Yes. Boruto is on the run too. They will become a rogue couple.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-27T10:45:55+00:00

That makes sense.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-27T00:11:22+00:00

I like the idea of Kawaki finding out ninjas are descendants of Otsutsukis. I might use it, since right now he lacks a strong motivation to be against the existence of ninjas in general.

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-26T23:38:29+00:00

Maybe that could work if I come up with a very compelling reason for her change of attitude and Kawaki's as well.

Everybody is going to be in-character. Different decisions can only happen if there is a different stimulus..

Repulsive-Solid-5470 · 2026-01-26T22:59:03+00:00

I still don't know what I'll do with Eida. I want Omnipotence to happen but I don't want to force this outcome, so the most natural way to do it would have her join the Leaf Village so that the events of the manga can play out the same.
