【EVOLUTIONLESS】- Why Shin Won & why Boruto is Important/Bratty

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Okay so today, no more bickering. Everybody got bested and shown up, Naruto, Sasuke AND Sakura. Are you going to sit there and argue who got humiliated worst? Or can we all just accept that maybe this happened for a reason. It's a middle act, an act 2 where things seem darkest. It happens in literally every story.

The reason they got defeated so badly by an enemy who doesn't even seem that powerful resonates with the title of this weeks chapter 'Evolutionless' but more importantly the dialogue he was saying this chapter.

Not only are they 'rusty' but it's more than that. He's claiming that to remain powerful, to remain happy- there must also be conflict. Without conflict, they become weak and susceptible to any grander threat (the bigger than KAGUYA threat) and we get more expectant of peace and happiness.

Boruto and Chocho are both a complete example of this! People consider them just bratty characters, but they're the product of an era in peace! To remain grateful of peace and stay strong enough to protect the ones we love we must have war.

Pain spouted a similar message, and so this villain is much more Akatsuki-centric and similar to Pain than Madara or Kaguya.​

I'm not saying anybody lost any of their powers, just their reflexes are slow. In Sasuke's case it mirrors the Haku moment and shows how much he cares for Sarada.

The point is they had to be shown up and have damage inflicted to make this point.
