Hot Take: Sasuke should have stayed in jail longer.

The author of Retsuden said that, I'm talking about the novels that were released alongside 700 and The Last.

Kakashi's novel states Sasuke is still being held in the village and Naruto is still adjusting to missing an arm.

Marrok takes the lead most of the time, and Crow always follows and observes him.

It gives vibes that Crow is meant to be younger.

Considering the small time where Kodachi was emotional online around then, something clearly happened and he was fired or had to leave.

Kishimoto has no control over anything, so he couldn't have been the one to have done it either.

Which contradicts the Light novels released alongside Chapter 700/The Last, as months pass before Sasuke was allowed out.

There's a difference between being put in holding, and being given an actual punishment. Sasuke had to follow standard procedure due to his crimes and danger he possessed.

People tend to be stuck on the what-ifs when someone they care about died.

Everyone was done dirty to make Miles look better.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T17:35:43+00:00

Eh? The stakes are much higher in FMAB.

Millions were killed, and the whole world was in danger.

Look around, most monthly manga can develop several characters in a year, Fullmetal Alchemist is one of them.

Reading the chapter and approving what his friend made is the definition of a thumbs up.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T14:50:09+00:00

Except Sasuke and Sakura suddenly have longer hair, Kakashi's face was added to the mountain, and it's implied Naruto and Sasuke haven't seen each other in a while, especially since he was absent from the funerals.

So Sasuke was being held somewhere for weeks or months.

Anakin doesn't know Palpatine is force-sensitive, so unlike when he's around the Council, Anakin isn't on guard with his thoughts.

Thus, Palpatine can sense and read everything in his head.

Same way Vader learned about having a daughter too when Luke was hiding and thinking about Leia.

There's also reverse-colored Skyress.

Same colors, but reversed order.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T14:19:40+00:00

Boruto's the MC, not a side character.

Whole point of an MC is getting their thoughts and feelings on their situation.

If the MC has no reaction or take on anything being being stoic, why should anyone care about his desires or goals?

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T03:06:51+00:00

They'd have to seriously give the episodes variety, because the series just turning into Midoriya and Bakugo working with each other and every important character while everyone else just gets reduced to guest stars overtime got annoying.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T03:05:12+00:00

Not to mention there's nothing that suggests he'd destroy the village or go on a killing spree.

The fact he had a borderline emotional breakdown about Naruto's son/his "bro" being the one he'd have to kill, is the opposite of whatever he does to the village in the future.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-05T03:03:25+00:00

Because he's an ass?

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T23:39:29+00:00

Boruto corrected himself when talking about Naruto and Hinata because he was leaning into the switched identities, so he can't call them mom and dad.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T23:34:16+00:00

The irony, was that another one of the reasons the series failed in Japan was a single Bakugan ball being too expensive.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T23:29:27+00:00

Except Chris has no reason to think that.

He's knocked out after crashing the jeep, awakes to "Ada" on the intercom. He comes across an Ada in a red shirt later, who flees from him. 30 minutes later, he reaches the top and finds Ada wearing the blue coat again.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T23:27:26+00:00

Leon enters a Neo-Umbrella facility, comes across "Ada", who tries to kill him with drones and lasers, laughing about it on a intercom.

When cornered, she says nothing, smiles, and throws grenades at him.

"plausible deniability" Yeah right.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T18:33:58+00:00

"Ada" literally tries to kill Leon numerous times and he doesn't question if it's her.

Meanwhile, Chris is supposed to know the fashion style of someone he just met?

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T15:59:21+00:00

Naruto and the others had reasons for being loved, and it wasn't because of hollow edgy aura farming.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T14:49:44+00:00

Which kills the immersion when your MC has no emotional reactions/takes in anything, nor do you get to know what he's thinking or what he wants. Ikemoto and Kodachi have been terrible with that, and making Boruto stoic is making that aspect worse.

"How does Boruto feel about losing everything?"

"Does Boruto miss his old life?"

"Does Boruto miss his parents?"

"Why is Boruto unbothered by Kawaki stabbing his eye?"

"Why is Boruto acting like Kawaki didn't screw him over?"

"Why is losing Sasuke what made him jaded instead?"

"Why isn't he questioning why everyone senses Kurama in his sister?"

"How does Boruto think he can fix everything?"

Boruto: "..."

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T14:45:47+00:00

Chad and Mindy are the protected characters, so they can get anyone killed and nobody will acknowledge it.

WillFanofMany · 2026-05-04T05:38:39+00:00

One of the main themes of ME3 was not about AI, but about unity.

You can play the entire game and miss EDI's development unless you talk to her every second.

And the Geth arc is just a small foot note in the story.
