Brouto: The Next in a Legacy of Fodder Sons?

[Char Aznable]

So is Boruto already destined to become a fodder child of an otherwise great hero?


Gohan had so much hype in DBZ but after Cell, he's seemingly been reduced to being a punching bag. Dabura, Buu 2x, Hirudegarn, General Metallo, Omega Sheron, Bills and now Gold Frieza have all fodderized Gohan.


Mantaro Kinniku/Kid Muscle from the Kinnikuma series. Mantaro had a lot of hype due to the legacy of his name (in universe and out) but the series never took off like it's predecessor. Even now manga remains unfinished and the anime was cancelled 2x before an abridged ending was cobbled together.


In the Narutoverse you had Asuma, who disagreed with his pops Hiruzen, and never attained nearly the level of skill or jutsu. This without Hiruzen having any KKG, Bijuu or Sage modes. Really Asuma...really?


So yeah, Boruto the odds don't look good for you mate.

Everything will be scaled down. For this generation, the Sharingan would be comparable to the Rinnegan for these children. I think he'll be great.

Can't you guys wait for 10 days

Ok, . . . . . . . . . .

Kishi and SP will realize people arent interested Naruto 2.0 and will run back to the original(whenever he decides to go back to naruto). The dude didnt even try to diferent Bolt whatsoever from Naruto.

 

[ANiMUS]

Boruto and Sarada will never surpass their fathers in power. However they probably will be the ones to fulfill Naruto and Sasuke's dream of peace and thereby surpassing them.

Also. DBZ and Naruto are two different anime

Perfectly said.

That's what happened with both DBZ and Kinnikuman.

They realized their 2nd Generation characters weren't as interesting as the 1st Gen and fazed them out.

Why Goku was brought back to end Buu and all subsequent villains. When the Cell Games ends with narration of Gohan now being the hero and the Buu arc hyping Gohan to be the hero.

The anniversary of Kinnikuman a few years ago featured all the OG characters as we knew them and none of the Nisei characters. All the games and media hyped the 70's and 80's fights but make token mentions to the 2002 characters.


It seems like we're headed down this path again.

A wise man once said "The child is not always necessarily as strong as the parents", bolt may pull an Ashura

Naruto and Sasuke already live in an new era of peace, if anything thier kids will know an era or timespan of war for the first time.

Not as along as Naruto is the reincarnation/transmigrant of Ashura.

Lol XD

 

[Howling Fox]

No cuz Goten was a pimp and strong af

 

[Nagi]

Brouto better not be strong and a fighter. He can be strong and not a fighter like Gohan or be a fighter, but average like Goten.

I wanted to write out some things.

The part about the new generation surpassing the old is not exactly broken. Each generation would have been able to surpass the old, in terms of consistency if they stayed average. Naruto and Sasuke had help along the way, but take into account that their abilities foreshadowed would of remained the same. No one would of suspected them to be Gods in Part one.

I guess you could apply this to DBZ as-well. I mean look at Gohan, and Goten. Reaching Super Sayian level at such a young age, which took Goku years until he achieved such power. Gohan even taking Super Sayian to a whole new level before his own father, and Goten mastering it at what ... Six? Besides poor writing, they never trained enough to master their father.

Now I don't suspect Boruto or Sarada having the abilities to surpass their fathers, ever. Though if you look back on their potential, it is not far fetched if we place them on Sage Mode Naruto and Third Tomoe Sasuke scale (Not including MS or she'll go blind). Not only is Boruto born from a Uzumaki father, but he also has Hyuuga genes. Sarada not only has BOTH of her parents, but her parents were trained by the Sannin.

Their potential is outstanding compared to Naruto Part one, and Sasuke Part one. Not to mention outside of this debate, Kishimoto is making a new move/technique/style for Boruto that supposedly caused an uproar in his PR room. I can already see some promise, though again let's leave it up to that.

Luke surpassed Anakin and Korra surpassed Aang. Also, Gohan theoretically was the strongest unfused character at the end of DBZ.

To play devil's advocate, Goku had to master super-saiyan on his own whereas Gohan had a teacher and ultimately more potential than Goku (he just never reached it).

Episode III Anakin >>> ROTJ Luke

Anakin had all the proper training and Luke was essentially self taught and given and abridged training.


Korra and Aang aren't related and we don't know the full capabilities Aang past the age of 13. Korra was age 17 in season 1 and age 20-21 in season 4. Plus Energy Bending >>> instant negs Korra.

Strongest Unfused character at the end of DBZ is a toss up. Goku and Vegeta never stopped training, while Gohan went soft AGAIN. Doesn't matter though. Gohan never won a fight after Perfect Cell.

He should've made bolt like Hinata, and the girl more like Naruto. Instead of bolt being Naruto 2.0 .

Vegeta did call Goku the best, sooo that should've answered who the strongest one is XD. Goku's potential is unlimited.

Luke was most likely at ROTS Anakin's level, and certainly surpassed him between then and Episode 7. With Gohan, the fact that he nearly single handedly killed Super Buu would say he was the strongest character, training or not, Gohan was the strongest (Super Buu was more powerful than Kid Buu). Also, Korra already has energy bending and, unlike Aang, actually learned how to fight in the Spirit World, hell, she learned how to fight using spirit energy in the human world, pretty sure she was stronger than Aang.
