SPOILERS!!Boruto chapter 22!!!HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[King Of Pop]

Looks like another slow chapter. You people get your hopes up too much with this shit, manage your expectations and you won't be disappointed. Always thought this new gen series was a terrible idea.

 

[GetsugaTenshou]

Kodachi has had 22 chapters and 52 episodes to captivate the readers and has failed miserably. Meanwhile, actual good series manage to captivate within the first episode. AOT, Naruto, OP, Code Geass, etc.

It's too damn clear he's lazy af because of this being a spin off to Naruto.

Even Naruto had captivating villains in basically the first actual arc

I don't think anyone can honestly say Ao is anywhere near Zabuza and Haku quality as a villain. His character is extremely bland.

There was barely any reason to care about him in Naruto, why would we care about him now?

So basically, Kodachi failed to incite an emotional response, failed to use his appearance to build up the storyline with the seal and supposedly failed to utilize his one unique quality, the Byakugan

But hey, at least we know technology isn't evil. Right?

 

[Reviewing Logic]

I fixed it and agree

I never knew Ao was Hinata

 

[salamander uchiha]

Okay now let's discuss about the actual spoilers.

Who do y'all think it's gonna use Summoning Jutsu? (OD confirmed it's not Konohamaru)

And what do you think it'll be Ao's triumph card? Drones?

I thought Ao's trump card was going to be a C0 type move? I was thinking Mitsuki will/may summon his Snake like a sort of shield like Sasuke did against Deidara's bombs or a get away. If not him then I was expecting Sarada to summon the Gunbai and use the barrier tech Madara Sama used with it. The secondary option was Sarada summoning the Hawk and carrying the team to safety from the C0 attack.

Looks like another slow chapter. You people get your hopes up too much with this shit, manage your expectations and you won't be disappointed. Always thought this new gen series was a terrible idea.

I gave up being optimistic at chapter 20, after what I witnessed in the cave and the cheer leader moment at the end. At that point it was enough for me to not care so much if Kodachi doesn't why should I.

 

[Jinrou]

You salty Hyuga fan! You're just mad there's no Jougan, Byakugan or Boruto focus

I know right? You should have added salty Hinata fan as well. xD

you see the chapter isn't out nor the summary

I know bro.. those were just my two cents from the spoilers everyone posted in the thread.

 

[123fire]

I feel sorry for those that get their entertainment from reactionary troll posts to certain fanbases about a lack of chapter content then actually even reading the series in the anticipation for actual good plot

but for some it seems having a certain fanbase not get something is better then actually having a decent series.

Too bad for them that we actually read competent fiction beyond the never progressing series known as Boruto.


To those those sad people who only live off of Naruto/Boruto, go watch an actual shonen like HXH or Jojo.

It's monthly and that's the only problem. the anime isn't that bad. it had amazing fights here and there and good character development for its anime original characters. the problem with the anime is that it didn't touch the main plot at all and the problem with the manga is that it's too slow. i guess we have to be patient

 

[Reviewing Logic]

I feel like Kodachi doesn't know what to do with the story, it's sad but coming from the guy who worked on multiple good series such as Code Geass and ended up ruining them with shitty manga adaptation... yeah w/e

Why resurrect Ao when you're not going to show his byakugan? smh

If you like the combination of technology with magic here is some series ;

Tokyo Ravens
Strike The Blood
Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
Hataraku Maou-sama

All of them are better than Boruto.

Clamp originally made Code Geas

wasn't the anime just an adaptation?

 

[Made in Heaven]

Let's discuss that after this whole arc finishes

No, this isn't really up for debate. Ao's Byakugan not being his trump card is bad writing since it causes all the previous build up to fall flat.

Let's see all the build up we have:

Bolt's Byakugan blood is mentioned, showing it will be significant to his future. The portrayal of Bolt being able to move in freezed time while Sasuke can only look also gives the reader the impression that Bolt's eye is, potentially, greater than Sasuke's. This makes the readers anticipate future developments in regards to Bolt's bloodline and lineage. Even more so when the Ootsutsuki are presented as the ultimate enemies here.

The anime builds on these by introducing the Jougan, clearly and blatantly connected to the Byakugan both in their naming schemes, general appearance, abilities, and even hinted at a connection by characters like Hanabi, Hinata, and Bolt himself. It mentions things such as prophecies, and the power of the Jogan being the key to Earth's safety.

At this point, most readers who aren't salty Uchiha faps have generally accepted that Bolt's Hyuga blood is a major factor in his powers and future. And if one's common sense isn't enough, Momoshiki even hammers it in that Bolt's eyes and Byakugan alien blood are key to his growth.

Then Ao is brought back from the dead. Characters being shown to still be alive is not uncommon in stories, but when you consider all the facets of Ao's character and the circumstances in which he died, him being brought back makes no sense. He was a comedy character with only two defining traits, his fear of Mei and his Byakugan who should have died in what is more or less a nuclear bomb explosion. Yet here he is for some reason working for a group tied to the Byakugan aliens. Then we even have Konohmaru calling him the Byakugan Assassin, a clear indication that even before the war, the Byakugan was a major factor in his combat abilities. Why give him this epithet if it's not going to go anywhere?

So if his Byakugan is not a major factor to his character? Like I said, bad writing.

Whether intentional or not, this is the set up Kodachi gave us as an expectation, both from a meta POV when observing Ao as a character and from an in-universe POV when observing the character connections.

The summary and the chapter isn't out yet just minor spoilers. no one can decide if the chapter is good or bad

 

[Askeladd]

Clamp originally made Code Geas

The anime came first then various adaptations.. Light Novel, manga. Kodachi worked on the manga and it was garbage.

 

[Made in Heaven]

So basically, Kodachi failed to incite an emotional response, failed to use his appearance to build up the storyline with the seal and supposedly failed to utilize his one unique quality, the Byakugan?

Yes, to add on to my LAP above, Ao as a character has nothing for us to care about beyond his eye, since it connects him to the main character's Jogan and the Byakugan Aliens. With Obito, he had his bond with Kakashi, Minato, and so on to actually warrant us caring for him still being alive. As bad as he may have turned out as a character aside, that isolated part of him was good writing. So to not capitalize on the only relevant thing about Ao and instead make him a terminator is genuinely laughable.

or new series like My Promised Neverland, Kimetsu no Yaibai, or Dr. Stone that all aired around the same time as Boruto

 

[Kakooli]

My predict:

-Ao summons Kawaki who kills Burrito instantly.
-Sarada unlocks her sun MS and reverses time
-Ao: So... This is teh Uchiha child of teh prophecy...

END

did u not read what i said? we discuss this when the whole arc ends. u'll never know maybe he will show us his bayakugan in his last moments

Tell me about it. First I get dislikes on a post talking about Salad's wasted character potential by collapsing all of Gaiden's build up on itself just to satisfy SStards, then the same people are here happy that month after month of build up to Ao's Byakugan is going to collapse. What are you even here for if you don't want good writing? Salad using repeat techniques we saw 20 years ago? More one-sided affections and admiration? More dysfunctional team 7 nonsense? Like, damn, I'm a massive Sakura hater, and I'll be the first to say I'm hoping for more medical ninjutsu feats in this series, since it's interesting as a concept and I feel like it wasn't explored enough before. I'm even open to the idea of Naruto and Hinata dying if it means good story telling and character development.

But these kids just want their fav to "solo".

 

[Reboryushon]

It doesn't matter what you say. The damage to the series (including the Manga and the anime) is done. Even pre-shippuden and shippuden are hurt from this.

You need to understand that not everyone is delusional.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm just going to be pessimistic until it happens given this series' track record with the Byakugan and all things related.

i'm not delusional . i ranted on byakuya gang arc because it was straight trash but this ao arc isn't bad. there's nothing bad in it. i loved the fight and the strategy . it's just people keep on expecting jougan bayakugan and the seal that they are unable to enjoy any chapter

 

[123fire]

123filler is still using the monthly release as an excuse? smh

One of the best seinen ever created is monthly, Vinland Saga is monthly, AoT is monthly, etc.. bad excuse.

Pacing also
