Why can’t the writers in the series give a female a moment without an asspull?

Why the hell does logic have to be thrown out the window the minute a woman does something? This is due to Sarada this episode, she did that. She mother****ing slayed that shit but couldn’t they have done it without retconning? It’s like they want woman in the series to be attacked or criticised. Thoughts?

Anyway, Sarada did that either way.

You do realize that all asspulls get criticized, right?

Every time plot no jutsu reared it head, we called Kishi on it.

Why should Sarada be absolved of this?

The firs time they give her a proper 1v1 battle, in the beginning of the series and the pull one? Most happen later on in the series, both this early.

But keep in mind, whilst this is early in the Boruto anime, the Naruto franchise has been going on for nearly twenty years.

So asspulls will be prevalent

Nothing was retconned. The Sharingan's powers were never explained beyond 3T granting Precognition, 2T granting Chakra sight, and 1T granting keen sight.

Right. I agree just like the Byakugan. The only doujutsu that got any extensive background is the MS/EMS/RINNEGAN. So it looks like they are inserting a bit more to the earlier stages of the Sharingan and Byakugan.

I understand the need to cry asspull but it really is no different then Itachi’s fights. Every time he fought someone a new overpowered genjutsu was introduced. Boruto’s and Sarada’s doujutsu are simply following suit.

Agreed. Even some of the techniques copied were only Kiba-exclusive.

Granted it's not just Sarada.

The Boruto series is asspull central.

Nothing but facts.

I'm heavily disappointed with the anime, probably just gonna read the manga.

Right, people acting like this series hasn't had questionable retcons and inconsistencies since forever. The whole Bolt spin off is a retcon in a sense since it was never initially planned. No need to put too much thought into it when the writers don't care either. They even referenced the Raiga Arc from Part 1 for crying out loud.

Boruto series ass-pulls are hardly that much of a stretch.

I feel like Sarada is advanced enough to do these things because of her advanced chakra control and specialized knowledge, Sasuke was not as keen of mind as Sarada, and Sakura never had sharingan, so there is that.

She copying the lightening kiba techniques were not as much of an asspull as people might thing, the sharingan simply showed her what happens during the jutsu and she simply applied it and copied it, the lighting blade is still a sword at the end of the day, Sasuke did the same shit with his sword .

I just finished the episode... And I have no clue what you consider was an asspull. Unless I missed something, the only things Sarada did were use the Sharingans copy ability and Genjutsu.

The Sharingan granting precognition at the Third Tomoe was never explained. Sasuke was already perfectly capable of reading Naruto's regular movements with his 2 Tomoe, but required the Third to keep up with KN1 Naruto. Your assumption is false.

2T Chakra sight, this is never shown to be true. No one has ever once said that you *NEED* The 2 Tomoe to see chakra. Obito merely remarks that he can see it while having the 2 Tomoe by chance.

1 Tomoe grants all abilities because it's the ****ing Sharingan. The abilities will be quite ass and underdeveloped, but the Sharingan always contains the same abilities through and through.

the only foul there is to complain about is her being able to copy techs that were used with the swords. Other than that, ppl are just doing a horrible job managing their feelings.

Personally I don't mind them retconning 1T sharingan abilities as long as fans accept it and not go around spamming fanfics to deny and justify it.
If only every fan could've seen it and be honest like you do.

It's not a retcon if the eye was never stated to have abilities restricted to other stages.

Yeah tomorrow they'll give MS abilities like amaterasu to 2T Sarada and you'll say the same about that as well while still denying the byakugan precog...:lol
