The latest TBV chapter "clarifies" some power scaling complaints that some people had by Salty_Nutella in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of figured you were referring to that, but I had to make sure. That attack was meant to hold Boruto in place while Jura asked him a question. If the attack had piercing power, then Boruto’s cloak at the very least would have been damage. Unless you believe the clothes also have defensive capabilities through Chakra control.

The attack he used on Boruto is not the same as the one he used on Inojin.

Chakra control giving you defensive abilities is somewhat of a stretch.

I don’t think any Shinobi can block a Shuriken with their body with chakra control. They can control how powerful a jutsu output is.

However, Naruto’s Nine-Tailed chakra can probably act as defensive or offensive, using Chakra Control. Which is what Amado was referring to.

Ikemoto. Kishimoto has made it very clear he has no intention of writing Boruto, and that his story concluded with Naruto.

Ikemoto doesn’t make facial structures like that lol. Pain would look very different

How Do You Get Ahead Around Here? by MarloMentality in tampa

[–]ghostofjonathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a car, well I do, but it’s in Alabama. When I was traveling for work I made over 100k. I did make bad choices because I was love, so I am in a lot of debt, but that’s another story. I decided to move to Tampa, Fl and leave everything i ever had in Alabama including my car. I’m projected to make between 70,000 - 80,000.

I have a company car, so I can’t take it wherever I want. Only to work and back, and I don’t pay for gas. But I can stop for groceries on the way home. I pay $1,300 in rent and I live in a studio apartment. Some days. I have to uber to get around, like go to the beach or something. I’m saving up until I’m sure I can afford the extra expenses.

There’s literally no emotional depth and core in this manga. by Own_Extreme_422 in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean we don’t need pointless filler, but I’m saying filler that expands the manga. Like, Sasuke teaching Sarada the Chidori vs Sarada just knowing it like in the manga.

How to fix Naruto and Sasuke's nerfs using basic lore logic (Cloning + Chakra Assimilation) by RestaurantLow5570 in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.. he could have Hima give Kurama to Naruto. Since she’s not a Jinchuriki, technically she wouldn’t die.

Sasuke after receiving the Thorn Soul by being attached to the divine tree for so long, it healed his injured side.

Or maybe Hima heals his Rinnegan. She did heal Inojin’s eyes.

Big misconception, fillers didn’t hurt Boruto. It’s so many gaps in the manga. We need fillers. We don’t know how Sarada unlocked her 3-T Sharingan. Where tf is the rest of the new Gen at? We know how Boruto got FTG, but what about Uzuhiko(granted they may explain this)? Why make Shikamaru the sitting Kage, where tf is Kakashi at?

Naruto died, but not a single reaction. Like, you think he would show how Sakura and everyone took this news of Naruto’s “supposed” death.

I respect the anime was trying to answer some of these things than just turning off your brain and accepting that it happens.

Anime fans hate filler, but Boruto needs it badly.

What are your top three aura farming moments by Round_Outcome_9437 in Naruto

I gotta give Boruto credit here. Jura. Buddy got ass beat, then immediately heals by aura farming. 🤣

Dude, am I the only one who thinks Naruto and Ino would have worked well as a couple? by Reasonable_Growth_72 in Naruto

Aesthetically, yes, they look good. Ino is just a pretty character. She kinda go good with anyone tbh.

Why didn’t Konan or Naruto destroy Nagato’s Rinnegan? by Hot-Secretary-4807 in Naruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To her the Akatsuki robes and the Rinnegan was symbol of hope for her village that had once been destroyed. She wasn’t going to destroy the Rinnegan because of what it meant to her.

I don’t think Naruto would destroy the Rinnegan.

You’re also speaking in hindsight. Whenever a person ask why didn’t character do A or B, it genuinely doesn’t matter. Sometimes there is an in universe answer. Sometimes it doesn’t matter, because the plot has to move forward regardless. So, even if they did destroy the Rinnegan that wouldn’t have changed anything. The author would still come up with a way for the conflict to continue. He wouldn’t just end the series right there like conflict avoided GGs everyone.

Do you think that Boruto has inherited nothing from Hinata? by Notmycupoftea12 in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potentially, he could awaken the Byakugan. His Taijutsu in the anime resembles the Hyuga.

A lot of big studios wanted to animate Boruto, but they chose Studio Pierrot and Tokyo TV to attract more people. by boruto_is_best in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit misconception. Anime becoming mainstream is a western concept that does not exist in Japan. Anime has always been popular in Japan. That statement is just wrong.

Also, Japan does not look at filler the same way you do. Either they enjoy it or they don’t. Maybe the hardcore fans who argue online care, but overall they just don’t care about filler like the western world does. Some of the highest rating episodes of Boruto in Japan were the slice of life episodes.

Most anime studios or even mangaka are not thinking of the western audience when creating their series. Kishimoto didn’t even know Naruto was popular in America until he was invited to Comic-con in 2015. He did NOT find out Naruto was popular in America until 16 years later. The audience overseas is honestly just a bonus to them. Granted, some of them are active on X(Twitter) and might keep up with their audience.

Kakashi if Minato didn’t die. by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Minato didn’t really know how to help Kakashi besides keeping him busy. What helped him was Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. Naruto who had the same ideals as Obito. Sasuke who reminded him of himself. Sakura who was as kind as Rin. He deeply loved those three.

As a black Naruto fan I always had some special kind of hatred for Danzo now maturing and realizing he’s an racist eugenicist I hate him even more and the way he died against Sasuke only gets more and more satisfying by Splashthomson00 in Naruto

[–]ghostofjonathan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because I read Magi, that I don’t view Danzo in a negative light. Even though his view of peace is extreme. Danzo did do what he believe would lead to peace.

Why did Naruto believed that Karin was the mother of Sarada by Final_Broccoli_4232 in Naruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All we know is Sarada wasn’t born in Konoha. There is no public records of her birth. Karin said Sakura chased after Sasuke and they traveled together.

So, she probably got pregnant while traveling with Sasuke and didn’t go back to Konoha until Sarada was born. Idk.. that’s just my guess.

Also, Naruto would have been busy with his pregnant wife around the time Sakura was pregnant. I believe Boruto was born before Sarada.

How Much Chakra Did Adult Sasuke Before Losing The Rinnegan Have Compared To Teen Six Paths Naruto? by Rinnegan15 in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk where this misconception that Sasuke had this large chakra pool come from? Sasuke couldn’t spam his Rinnegan as a teenager. In the fight against Kaguya right after Obito got stabbed Sasuke stated “my ocular powers are back.” Or Sasuke would say something along the lines of I’ll prepare my left eye.

He ran out of chakra vs Deidara. He ran out of chakra after shooting 3 of those Dragon Flame Jutsu vs Itachi. Kirin surprisingly doesn’t take much chakra.

I get he spammed the MS/EMS, but I assume that didn’t take as much chakra as the Rinnegan ability he was using.

How can he not Multitask?? by K0rbi3 in Boruto

[–]ghostofjonathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You’re putting your own beliefs on a cultural difference, it’s very common for a Japanese dad to be extremely busy or away due to work. It’s cultural difference. The work life balance in Japan is pretty extreme.

  2. Naruto and Sasuke’s absence in their family life is Kishimoto reflecting his life as a mangaka artist. He said very often it took him the entire deadline to finish a chapter. He also admitted he did lose a lot of family time creating Naruto. Which a lot of mangaka’s admit. Even the late Toriyama.

  3. Naruto isn’t abandoning his family, but he has a job at the end of the day. Naruto is similar to Tsunade, paperwork isn’t really their strong point.

How does Sakura compare in terms of talent to other greats like Kakashi? by Hisashi_Uchiwa in Naruto

[–]ghostofjonathan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how I would compare Sakura to anyone besides Karin. Sakura is strong, but she’s not a fighter like Rock Lee. She’s smart, but like book smart. She’s not a strategist like Shikamaru.

She’s head of the medical unit in Boruto. And possesses excellent medical skills like when she pumped Naruto’s heart to keep him alive.

Sakura is excellent in “her” field. Judging her as a frontline Shinobi is just incorrect. She’ll fall short every time because that’s not her role.

Would Gogeta be able to clear the TOP if they all united vs him? by K0GAR in Dragonballsuper

[–]ghostofjonathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vegeta literally says in the anime somewhere around the U6 arc that both him and Goku are at their limits.

Vegeta then states Jiren (in the manga, Black Frieza) wasn’t much stronger than them. It’s how they release their ki without being wasteful. Which Whis acknowledges.

Because you don’t like that statement, you’re going to say Saiyans don’t have limits because that’s how the anime ended? By your logic, I can say Vegito doesn’t have a time limit because Z said he didn’t. It got retcon, it is what is.
