The problem is not so much Kishi's writing, but Ikemoto's drawings. Not only does he have terrible design ideas, but he is a really lazy designer, you can see it both in the fights (look at the ones in this chapter, in which Mitsuki does nothing but spm giant snakes and Boruto dodges them) but also in the statistical panels.In short, kishi remembered they are ninjas not ghost in the shell.
You look at the last part of the chapter: six pages of Boruto stuck to the wall with the same expression on his face.
Uh ?OK, like Dragon Ball GT we'll retcon all this and start a new, keep what worked and start fresh"
They do, but as Sumire explains, they prefer to believe their memories.Just look at the terrible levels of writing and plothole used to justify the timeskip, like no one is looking at the family portraits?!
Let's see, in the best case scenario Naruto will return when the matter is resolved, but already proving to the world that he is alive would be a big advantage for Boruto, since this would make Kawaki a liar and would make him no longer wanted.And what's the end game here, Naruto comes back, he's not Hokage anymore and the country tried to kill his son, Konohamaru got screwed over, where is the end game here aside from kill Kawaki which Kishi doesn't have the guts to do.
Sorry, what does anime have to do with it?The only character that has been largely accept is Sumire, and the ANIME TEAM made Hinata 2.0, not the author who was fired, what does that say about the level of writing here? Not only that but the numbers are in; Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke sell the merchandise and Kishi allowed all three to be written out of the story in the dumbest ways leaving fans extremely annoyed and unsatisfied. So much so the anime was cancelled; do you know how BAD an established series like Naruto has to do to suddenly have their anime cancelled like that, BAD
Ah, now a forum is proof of the existence of a fandom.Just look at this site, mangahelpers is HUGE and "Boruto" hasn't been updated here since NOVEMBER. That's pathetic for Naruto, which used to have as much active user buzz as One Piece and Fairy Tail!
What ?The anime is projected to return 2027 and it's looking like that actually isn't going to happen at all!
I don't think anyone expected it. Boruto sells well for the magazine where he is and he is fine with it.That and the manga sales are no where near the Naruto levels, whoop dee doo, Blue Vortex had a bump, it's a timeskip volume those always have a bump.
Ok.,,So no, there is no "fixing this" there is either accept it and end the series in disgrace, pull a massive retcon to restart (which that ridiculous Eida power already showed Kishi isn't agaisnt idiotic asspulls for "plot"), or the most likely answer: Pulling a "GT to Super" and make a new sequel and win all the fans back with Naruto and Hinata as the stars
Wow, this will definitely lift things up....
But if Boruto is as bad as you say, why didn't they close it years ago? Evidently they like it in Japan.There is no fixing any of this, I shouldn't have to stomach through, how many chapters and YEARS of real time disappointment to just suddenly get to "Oh it's starting to get a little better", that's unacceptable and not gonna happen. Especially when all the story beats he's trying to do, again, were done much better in "Naruto". How about actually surprising us and KILLING the bad kids this time and show us you mean business Kishi?
