This is mainly a Boruto account, but I might talk about other things from time to time.

I think it's some real Western bullshit to hear Kishimoto honoring his former assistant's work on Boruto and see people responding with "See, Boruto ISN'T CANON." This is his hand-picked successor who he's been working with for the entire run of the series and he's trying to give him credit for it.

@ChronicInsom: Shojoji is an antagonist in Boruto that even fans seem to forget. He barely registers but I think he has contributed quite a bit to the series both narratively and thematically. (Thread...

Yeah, but reading strictly from the manga, his Byakugan is the likeliest outcome. The Jogan could still come around but it has to be a fresh intro. The fact that they are parallel stories allows for that kind of thing I think

We know that Kawaki's right eye is a scientific ninja tool & that's likely the reason why he didn't awaken Isshiki's Byakugan there. But what if, in this scene, Kawaki was shedding a tear & the eye being a tool kind of blocked it..? (A stretch, but entirely possible given the context of the scene)

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex #38 sneak peek 1 mirrors Boruto's page at the end of volume 1. Both characters are operating with some level of guilt about how their pillars ended up. Kawaki's is coming from a sense of love (madness) while Boruto's is coming from a sense of powerlessness/failure.

Isshiki can manifest them using both methods. Jigen could bring them out of his neck too, so I think it's not as rigid. They can just do whatever

It's one of those things with reading Boruto tbh. Ikemoto is a master at writing the story in this tense way, from the way he structures the pages themselves to the way the characters talk. I see it as a strength because you almost always feel a sense of foreboding whenever the plot is plotting

I think the village council don't quite understand the catastrophe that awaits if Shikamaru is removed as Hokage. Any other person would antagonise Jura the minute he helps himself to some dango treats because they lack the background he has & that would quickly lead to the worst possible future.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex #36 sneak peeks 1 and 2. My initial thoughts are; - Koji's hair looks majestically drawn - Kobu is back, huh? Please Kakashi help Shikamaru with this guy

Watched Obsession the other night. Not sure I can add much that hasn't already been said, but it was fantastic. Extremely unsettling subversion of the nice guy trope, packed full of interesting commentary on codependency, coercion, and manipulative relationship dynamics. Really got under my skin.

Yes! The earlier arcs are really savvy writing that pair the Shinju love with love in the rest of the series! It's really cool writing.

You might be cooking with this, I never picked up on the parallels in earlier arcs but you're probably right. Ending up as a parallel to Kawaki's development is gonna work wonders especially if it contributes to Kawaki's own development

Hm... That's interesting. I honestly can't think of a trajectory for his arc beyond him developing empathy/love & losing it 🤔

There's no lore to it that I know of, it's just part of Senju Park that's prominent in the anime. The roots look like the top of the Shinju hideout as well, hence the theory

I'm late by like 3 days but my review of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex #35 is as follows 😭 (check ALTs please)
Jura looking at a book filled with cat pictures and thinking to himself "cute...?" (Excuse the French, but it's the best scan quality out there)This caught me by surprise because I never imagined we'd see this tree in the manga. This leads me to believe that Ikemoto is keenly aware of the map of Konoha. Way more than we think, lol. I also saw a curious theory about how the Shinju hideout is literally underneath this tree and I can't unsee it nowThis panel also adds to what I said in the last picture because this bridge here was where a lot of Team 7 conversatoons happened, super nostalgic if you think about it
