Boruto vs Shinki in the Chunin Exams' finals?

[ReBoot]

Most likely, this fight will be before the exam and, in the end, somebody will separate them

 

[uhmusddy]

There’s nothing to debate

From the specific and obvious way they showed Boruto’s CE opponents it’s either

1) retcon shikadai exposure for shinki fight(which would be better imo for various reasons)

2) shinki would of been his next opponent if there was no exposure or interruption(basically foreshadowing the CE but not the ootsusuki interruption)

did sakura hinata and ino fight konan? no...

Not possible at all. Shinki will be fighting Metal Lee

How is that not possible? Its far more possible than Shinki vs. Boruto in the finals actually.

Metal Lee in the movie didn't even have a team, now he has it. I'm pretty sure they will be changing his fight now. It's easy to change since the only thing that was shown was him losing to Shinki.

which will expand and leaves more significant impact than fighting Boruto on the 2nd phase of the exam.

Not really. Shinki barely has any development, we just know he is overpowered.

The real impact here will be left on Shikadai vs. Boruto, two close friends fighting.

Also if the anime is not gonna get retconned, then Sarada vs Shinki and other participant in round 2 will never happen since Boruto vs Shikadai was the first and the last matchup before it got interrupted.

What are you talking about?

Sarada, Shinki, Shikadai and Mitsuki were the ones qualified to the semis.

It was either gonna be

Sarada vs. Mitsuki or Sarada vs. Shinki or Sarada vs. Shikadai. Sarada vs. Mitsuki is highly unlikely of happening, thus, Sarada vs. Shinki is the most plausible one cuz they'd certainly try to make something to parallel the Sakura vs. Sasori fight.

Anyone that says Boruto beat Shikadai is asinine. Shikadai shitted on Boruto.

But he did.

It wasn't a deserved win, Boruto had an unfair advantage, but by technicality it is a win. Would he have lost without the Kote? Yes, but that's not really the point.

That comparison is stupid for more reasons than I'm bothered to list at the moment.

Because that will require to put more effort to rearrange the storyline and mess with the continuity. Capture the flag is only based on matchup between two team squads only and metal Lee team facing Shinki team seems to play integral part of his development which is a reminiscent to gaara vs lee.

Boruto vs Shinki is more plausible because even when it gets retcon when boruto beats shikadai and gets away from cheating, it still follows the directional plot.

Boruto gets caught cheating against Shinki would only bring the same outcome.

Metal Lee in the movie didn't even have a team, now he has it. I'm pretty sure they will be changing his fight now. It's easy to change since the only thing that was shown was him losing to Shinki.

It doesn't really change anything when its going to fill in the gap by adding new characters on the team to expand each plot points which is the same case scenario that occurred in the CE if we were to replace with the other two members originally from the movie.

Metal Lee teams were not to be seen when they were dealing other shinki comrades in capture of the flags so the anime could easily show us with iwabe and denki to put in their shoes.

Not really. Shinki barely has any development, we just know he is overpowered.

The real impact here will be left on Shikadai vs. Boruto, two close friends fighting.

Ofc Shinki barely has any development due to lack of screentime that's why I'd argued that if the anime want to develop these characters, they have to give more spotlight to flesh out these side characters by expanding their fight because realistically speaking, metal lee vs shinki was rushed and glossed over and there was no buildup prior to this event.

What are you talking about?

Sarada, Shinki, Shikadai and Mitsuki were the ones qualified to the semis.

Sarada vs. Mitsuki or Sarada vs. Shinki or Sarada vs. Shikadai. Sarada vs. Mitsuki is highly unlikely of happening, thus, Sarada vs. Shinki is the most plausible one cuz they'd certainly try to make something to parallel the Sakura vs. Sasori fight.

Yes but think carefully. They were all qualified in round 2 including boruto vs shikadai. If Boruto didn't make it against shikadai, that would only means the Chuunin exam will stop proceeding the match because of the intervention of the ootsutski.

Shikadai vs boruto was the first matchup in round 2 before others get to fight first. This reinforce my point that if Sarada ever gets the opportunity to fight the likes of Shinki etc, then they have to retcon with boruto advancing to the next match after he "win" against shikadai.

What’s the difference?

 

[UnderTheRedHood]

More changes? ...

 

[Umari Senju]

He technically won actually, then Naruto stepped up and exposed him, but that's really not the point I'm trying to get at.

But at the same time it’s also kind of important to include the cheating aspect of the fight. Taking that out is a nerf to Boruto’s character development. He is supposed to learn the value of hard work and intensive training.

It would be a really bad move to remove that important aspect of his growth. Mistakes are to learn from. I really hope they aren’t trying to make him perfect. I might give him grief at times but his mistakes and flaws are necessary to make him relatable.

If anything they are going to make him cheat after the Shikadai fight if they are gonna change things around. Like maybe against Shinki he will use the device. Which I can see. Shinki does seem like a more intimidating opponent then Shikadai.

The guy is alrdy a failure ... if they change the anime from the Original content (the movie) this guys cant even be taken serious anymore either its about manga or anime... they are changing everything possible way there is to make this fodder superior or something
@bold i agree - Thats what they are trying to do - in the anime they are giving him so much power/techniques while in the manga/movie he was a cheater and a loser

 

[Guntah]

What’s the difference?

Well, I'll give you the two main reasons.

First off, those are different situations. The Naruto anime always followed the manga pretty closely, there are no big deviations or additions to the main plot aside from flashbacks throughout the series. Therefore we knew it was unlikely that was actually gonna happen in the first place. The Boruto anime however is going for a reboot of the Chunin Exams arc, Urashiki’s presence proves it. How much will they retcon? Who knows. It might be just that, it might be a lot more. We’re threading in uncertain grounds here, therefore something taken from the opening might be taken as a hint more seriously now than then.

Secondly, the pattern. The opening you’re referencing in question has loads of these “fights that never happened”. Team Gai never even meets Deva Path, Kakashi never fights Preta and Sai does pretty much nothing in this arc, he doesn’t get to fight Asura Path either. Here, we see the opponent we know Boruto will fight in the quarter finals, the opponent he will fight in the semi finals and Shinki, who is probably the opponent he would fight in the finals had we gotten there.

It could be that they resume the exams after Momo is defeated which'd be a retcon ofc but they're already at it so its a possibility.

I know, I know, I know, but....

He still won. :|

I mean, yes, there is the bigger aspect to look at. He did not deserve that win and him realizing that was an important part for his character development. However, the original reason this came up in the first place was because someone said Boruto lost to Shikadai and because of that, the whole thing with Shinki can never happen. But that's the thing, he didn't. If Naruto had not walked into the arena and exposed him he would've gone on to fight in the finals. It is not a very difficult thing to retcon, though I imagine if they did do this, they should make Boruto's victory slightly less eyebrow raising than him creating more shadow clones than he's ever done before with a single handed seal, but I digress.

 

[Hyuga Prodigy]

It's ironic that in the OP, Boruto was facing two of Gaara relatives.

 

[To Whatever]

He got disqualified how he gonna fight Shinki?

He most likely confronts Boruto prior to the CE like how lee and Gaara did Sasuke.

Shiniki probably got an idea that Boruto is some one a million genius due to Gaara mentioning how great Naruto is.

 

[salamander uchiha]

So filler it is then, I see.

Wouldn't doubt it either since that's legit something Gaara would do and iirc something he legit did already.
