-whether sarada can handle Hidari (me thinks she can) -exactly how Bolt uses the earring -Momoshiki exploiting Bolt's emotions -Jura's growing attachment to Hidari -Lord Eighth's political survival Chap 37 feels less like a payoff chapter an more like several fuses being lit!/9

Ik I'm late on this but better to take some time to digest things than going the knee jerk route! Chap 37 has a lot of moving pieces but the idea connecting most of them for me is trust. Sarada trusts Boruto Boruto's attachment to Sarada affects his judgment./1

While I think communities would be a lovely feature on a larger social media app in which people would want to silo themselves, I think from a fandom perspective topics would be more ideal when we're still in a growth phase and need discoverability.

Fraternities and sororities serve as social and economic bonding mechanisms for new generations of American bourgeoisie (and petty bourgeoisie). Ritualized abuse, sexual abuse (both within greek society and outside it), and connections for jobs after graduation are all one package imo

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

The interesting thing about Shinju Mitsuki is who his choice of target would be--how he perceives his "sun" and his subsequent growth as a character after meeting Boruto in TBV.

I get the impression many anime industry figures have not shook off the toxicity of Twitter/X, thinking *all* social media communities are like that. True, the anime community isn’t known for being kind — hell, all fandoms have their bad apples.

Vermilion Vanish (a niche Boruto fancomic) Yay we're finally out of the flasherback guys!
KKB Investigator: Ya'll found something already?
KKB Investigator: Don't take this the wrong way; I didn't think it'd be that quick.

Naruto: Sasuke found some bones nearby.

*More recently*

Sasuke: Sure enough the DNA test was a match.
Boruto: Yknow, after we bumped into her at Mori No Natsu..

Boruto: Kawaki said something about Kara outers working for the KKB..
Boruto: And likely sabotaged her case.Sasuke: It doesn't help that their budget is abysmal to begin with.

*Boruto starts picking up on an irate Saya*

Boruto: I think she's figured it out.
*Boruto is having Himawari PTSD*

Saya: GIVE TATSUICHI BACK RIGHT NOW
Sasuke: You certainly took your time showing up.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

I'm so proud to finally be in a Naruto/Boruto volume! Ikemoto really makes him look so cool! As a kid I was always jealous of the Japanese kids who got their drawings in some Naruto volumes. There is no word to describe how happy I am; I'm sure it would make kids me scream of joy!
A drawing for the contest Boruto Ninja Star! A boy with messy white hair, a cigarette in the mouth, two earrings in shape of a "9", a crop top with a "4" marked on it. He has on his arms two sleeves in the shape of a raven feather. He has a shot with a long white belt, a chain with Kunai on his waist, and a black belt with some metal parts. He wears classic white ninja boots. He has a piercing on his left eyebrow. On the back of the crop, there is "49" marked. In his hand, a sword is melting. He is on top of a piece of woodThe same character is drawn front view in a blank background by the mangaka artist Mikio Ikemoto. He is much cooler!

“The anime definitely portrays his insecuritys better, because he was self conscious about his clans jutsu etc” “they nerfed inojin and mitsuki, these mfs know medical jutsu, do you see them use it outside of the anime? Nope” I was talking about the difference between how he was shown in the manga

I hate talking about my hot takes since its corny to me. But Imma be honest with myself and say, when it comes to being a long time Naruto fan. I actually enjoy the Boruto series. I think it gets way too much hate for what it wants to be. Is it perfect, no, but it does has its best moments.

It is interesting that “Boruto” starts with this “natural chakra-powered jutsu-using ninjas” vs “technology-powered jutsu-weapon using ninjas“ plot, when you take into consideration that “Naruto” was the first Shonen Jump manga to be done all digitally.

When coming up with the story of Centuria, Kuramori [ @noririn4696.bsky.social ] got the inspiration from a painting of a slave boat. Oil paintings seem to be a constant source of inspiration for his majestic craft. Chapter 103 of Centuria continues the trend.

Seeing how this culture plays out in fandom, I think this is giving too much credit. People believe that their intents with a text matter more than the text as a whole. See: the clipping story. People like that they can do whatever they want to texts with no regard to the total meaning.

like I suspect many of you on This Website, I think a core reason why I find Eliezer Yudkowsky and his rationalist and effective altruist satellites so intensely annoying is because I had a VERY similar “being a super weird, pretentious, hyper-literate kid” experience - I just, you know, grew up.
