Anime wise, this wasn't a bad idea

The only thing I enjoyed from today's episode was Konohamaru teaching Sarada about the Sharingan. It was kind of cute.

I feel like they kind of retconned the Sharingan's 2nd tomoe being able to copy jutsu instead of the 1 tomoe, but it's SP at this point. What can you do?

They also said that Sakura prioritizes training over Sarada too, but at that moment she was too busy unpacking.

Back on topic, I think Konohamaru is going to be teaching Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki on screen to compensate for the lack of team building in the actual Manga. I think the plot for the Manga is moving too fast, so the Anime will show it.

With Sarada building up her potential with the Sharingan, it's only a matter of time before Konohamaru learns about Mitsuki's powers. And we know Konohamaru eventually teaches Boruto the Rasengan which furthers his skill set.

Do you think Konohamaru will be a better teacher to our new MC's than Kakashi was to his team?

the new team 7 are more loyal then team kakashi ever was. they all support and like each other and their sensei isn't a failure like Kakashi. i hope Konohamaru dies though for development purposes.

In conclusion Boruto anime>>manga

Well, yeah, that seems to be the whole purpose of this anime. Combining the manga, the movie and even the game to tell the most detailed and developed version of this whole story. That's one reason why I'm really curious about how they'll play off the Momoshiki and Kinshiki Arc when it comes to it.

Probably the Manga's adaption of it tbh

Most likely that's gonna be the main inspiration, but I like to think that it might turn into a combination of every one of those, plus having some new stuff of its own.

That'll probably be the case. I don't expect them to follow the Manga's adaption panel by panel given how they absolutely turned the Gaiden into a different story all together.

It should've been Kakashi smh

What Konohamaru even knows about the Sharingan besides basic info, I wonder.

I dunno. If he's gonna be the sensei of an Uchiha, he should know the basics. He definitely seemed to put her in the right direction. Kakashi kind of just told them and left them alone for most of the series.

Given that Sarutobi's are basically discount Uchiha's w/o Sharingan, she can learn. He's basically discount Naruto with fire style. A strange mixture of Uchiha and Naruto :lol

I hope he teaches her Katon
If Konohamaru teaches them elemental natures, then Sarada is learning Katon from him def.

The director of the movie did mention he wanted to add more character to Momoshiki and Kinshiki as well as some other stuff, like Boruto's punishment for him cheating, and since he's now directing the series, I think there'll be a lot of additions.

I liked this episode. A little development from Sarada. Though I'm not sure if this is going to be a one off copy(kind of like sasuke and Lee) or if they'll make her a kakashi type.

Indra is it really a retcon? I don't think it was ever said at what stage copy ability comes. Sasuke just happened to copy for the first time at 2 tomoe.

I think that Sasuke not showing any copying skills in his one tomoe is strange. Whether it was the second tomoe or just the Sharingan in general is debatable I guess.

It feels like it's a slight retcon because Sasuke had the 1T and didn't copy anything until his Sharingan evolved. But she hasn't shown any copy feats in the Manga either, which is making me suspect. lol

I hope so. I'll give the episode a few watches to see if I'll like it more than Kishimoto's. The Gaiden portrayal was kind of iffy and they left out of the best parts to me.

The first time we see sasuke's Sharingan in the manga he already had two tomoe in one eye and 1 in the other in the zabuza arc and immediately they got back from that mission it was chuunin arc where sasuke used it for the first time to copy something . So sasuke used it to copy very soon after he awakened it same with Sarada. I know he actually awakened it earlier but I guess he forgot.

And I'm finding it hard to get into the anime. Is it filler or not? I can't tell.

This explanation was kind of confusing to me. Tell me if we are on the same basis

Sasuke awakened the Sharingan when Itachi murdered his family.
Sasuke "awaken awakens' the Sharingan in the Haku battle, one tomoe. However, Sasuke brought one eye to two tomoe just based on will. It reverted back to one tomoe.
Sasuke awakens second tomoe Sharingan against Orochimaru.

That's how I remember it.

And I'm finding it hard to get into the anime. Is it filler or not? I can't tell.
The Academy Arc is supposedly approved by Kishimoto, but it's questionable. I just go by what Kishimoto or Ukyo say about the episodes they worked on personally.

It's been a long time though. Even the characters introduced in the first arc aren't even in the Manga. Making it even more questionable.

So sasuke awakens it as a kid. Completely forgets about that part of the night. Reawakens it against haku. 2 tomoe in one eye 1 in the other not sure where the will comes in. Then he gets put down by haku. Activates it against Lee before the first chuunin test this time 2 tomoe on each eye. Sees Lee's taijutsu with it. Goes on to second test and faces orochimaru.

Does Sasuke fight Lee before or after meeting Orochimaru?

It was never said 2 tomeo were needed for copying jutsu we assumed that because Sasuke had 2 tomeo in 1 eye when he copies Lee's jutsu. It's however confirmed 1 tomeo is enough to copy jutsu.

As for Konohamaru he'll be like Sarutobi sensei so I'd say yes.

Sorry bro I think he gained 2 tomeo in both eyes against Orochimaru I can't remember of the top of my head. My guess is 1 tomeo doesn't let you see chakra so you can't tell and it drains a lot of chakra so flickers on and off until it's proper awakening the user becoming aware of it.

Before, he fights lee right after they get back iirc, there's not much of a time diff from when sasuke gets back and he copies lee barrage. It's possible he didn't copy anything during the haku fight cause haku only used a kkg and he didn't really fight zabuza to copy anything
