never really talked about it on the base but im a Neji fan. He was my fav with Kakashi back in part 1. Hear me out.

The thing is, even though you might not like the way or manner in which he died...at least he died. Doing something with a character is more appreciation and closure than doing nothing at all. At least Neji left the series in aid of SOMETHING rather than say, i dont know- Ino, Tenten or Sai. Even Lee has just been thrown away rather than getting character focused send-offs like Neji, Shikaku and Jiraiya.

There should've been more death in the War arc essentially and other Konoha characters should've been allowed to stay relevant and remain at the forefront of the action...otherwise you get stuff like the random and disappointing death of Neji Hyuuga.

Neji didn't really have anything to add to Boruto regardless, neither do most of the adult gen in Boruto manga, movies and anime. Everything he could've taught was handled by character like Hiashi and Hinabi who we needed to know more about anyway. If Neji were alive then that also would've been distracting in 'The Last' where Hinata and Hinabi are kidnapped. The cast is big enough in that film already.

Neji dying was super stupid. He was like, the only one that died in the war... wtf.

Kishi was like, okay i'll write all the k11's names in papers, and choose one with my eyes closed, so no one thinks that i'm a softy for not killing main characters in a ****ing war arc.

Maybe he could've pulled it off if he had killed more characters, but Neji dying there is just, very stupid. It was so random, lol.

It was one of the worse chapters i've read also..

Thread has a good point but i've always said that characters like Bee, Mifune, Kakashi and Guy NOT dying actually held up the plot. At least people remember and talk about Neji.

Neji's death was dumb af just for a forced ass NaruHina relationship. At least he became free from that fked up clan and it's rules.

Hinata stepped over his body to Naruto too but that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Neji could've been an asset to Boruto's growth and development.
I think many irrelevant characters who could've been killed survived the manga.

What great potential he had in part 1 . He was the strongest genin from Konoha in chunin exams. He had way bigger hype then Sasuke . People couldn't believe how strong he was they said it was unfair for him to be with others.Kakashi even admiting Sasuke would not have a chance against him.He could be perfect rival for Sasuke at that point not Naruto.Later he was ignored badly. In part 2 he didn't show anything what would people expect from someone regarded as genius. Kishi was thinking hey I would make him the only jonin in early part 2, showing his superiority over others and then I can ignore him and not give him development and actual feats.

His death was terrible thing .

He and Choji should have died in the Sasuke retrieval arc. Choji especially; Kishi made a huge mistake when he decided suicide moves aren't actually suicide moves.

Neji was one of the most badass characters originally, it is really sad he got trolled by Kishi.
