I think with Kawaki coming more into the picture things should pick up a lot faster.
It's obvious Kawaki and Boruto were going to have a heated relationship from the get-go which was something I wondered from the beginning. No gonna lie though a change of pace would have been nice. The whole hated you from the start but think of you as a brother repetition in Naruto has gotten old. I feel like Kawaki and Boruto will be just another broken record repeating that same thing again.
