Seriously who would even buy this volume?SS fans definitely won't as the Gaiden is a complete nightmare for them.The neutrals already are keeping away from this family and new gen shit while the antis realised what they suspected all along

There is nothing of interest here in retrospect.salad is basically Sakura 2.0.On top of that Karin being the mom was unnecessarily dragged on just for bait.The villain is even more forgettable than before and may as well not exist.
There is nothing regarding the other new gen who even in the movie will probably just have cameos.The movie villains as well as Bolt didn't get a single chapter for introduction.Remember all the Salad and the Gaiden hype at the beginning of the series and it turned out shit in the end.I am expecting nothing from the Bolt movie either as Kishi seems to have lost any interest in writing a decent storyline Learning from this

I think Kishi was using the Gaiden as his sort of vacation time to write whatever the **** he wanted and when it came to the Boruto Movie, that's when he realized he has to be serious.

If Kishi actually clarified in the beginning that this gaiden was just for SS then I wouldn't even have bothered to read one chapter of this shit..

Yeah Gaiden was shit but I still have faith in Boruto: The Movie. Boruto seems like a much better character to me, the villains actually seem threatening and we will see more of the new generation.


I hope Kishi has a long hiatus then does a much longer and detailed complete Part 3.

Like I said before it was a volume worth of SS fanfic.

Gaiden is filled with pointless drama pairing which has almost nothing to do with main plot of Boruto Movie... Atleast the Last did better job focusing the Ootsutski and history that ties in to the canon material

Yeah, Gaiden is so bored. Hopefully Boruto Movie will be awesome.

Gaiden was just terrible. I can't believe I thought Gaiden was going to be a masterpiece since Kishi had a 6+ month break. Oh god I was so wrong. The first chapter was good, the rest is just shit. We barely got to see the new gen.

Kishi didnt even stick to the message he was trying to convey in Gaiden. Only thing Gaiden was good for was seeing SS sweat. That was fun.

Woop der it is!

Gaiden was garbage and a waste of time.

I'll be throwing all my shade on this miniseries when it finishes.

I, for one, love ten chapter advertisements.

(Seriously tho, there were enjoyable parts, but it didn't deliver on anything anyone wanted.)

Exactly.In the end the old cast is irreplaceable and what salvages things in the end.A new series based on just them as adults would have been awesome

Gaiden means "side story", so i don't fault Kishimoto for not going into great, elaborate detail about every little thing the readers expected him to or drawing up so OP villain. The very first chapter already put it out there that this gaiden would be more about Salad's relationship with her parents and less about everything else, so the onus is really on the reader for expecting anything other than that for 2 to 3 months.
