I recently read the new chapter and it did retold the boruto movie but there's no sasuke vs kin fight? Even when sasuke confronted naruto in the boruto movie, he said something like "there's a certain guy who worries me", nope nothing.

This can't be boruto's perspective either since boruto wasn't in the Hokage office when sasuke showed up. Unless boruto has some kind of omniscient powers then OK.

Sasuke retrieved the scroll from Kaguya's place, right? So yes it took place.

Not really, he could've just gotten the scroll from this place and left. Like i said he didn't even mention the encounter to naruto like the he did in the movie.

Why wouldn't it be ? A lot of stuff is left out for the sake of advancing the story It's not like the new manga is re-writing the script, just retelling it.

Once Kinshiki shows up with a broken horn or mentions something about making Sasuke pay for what he did the other day, we will know for sure.

They had a conversation about it being from Kaguya's castle.

I don't know why anyone wants Sasuke v. Kinshiki in manga form. It would look ridiculous. The animation team did an amazing job, and this guy is still having his problems as a manga drawer (with keeping the panels consistent). I think he did us all favor.

If he redrew the fight, people would complain that it was shit and that the Movie did it better anyway. Bet lol

Still no mention of fighting. Well, we're probably going to get momo vs naruto & sasuke again. So expect complaining and lots of it. You have a point tho.

And if he doesn't? This retelling is just not needed.

It is canon. The movie was canon. The first couple chapters are clearly going to retell the movie, which was canon. There a lots of reasons not to waste panel time on Sasukes fight, the main reason being that it would have been the first thing the manga opens with - and that isn't the focus of the manga. The manga made it clear to the point of stating it multiple times, this is Boruto's story, so to open with Sasuke fighting would be contradictory.

If neither happens then it is safe to say that it is no longer canon, but I seriously doubt that would be the case. And retelling the story may not be "needed" but it serves as evidence that the Boruto movie is canon and can help the artist improve his art quality and get used to drawing fighting scenes properly which can only benefit the new arc. So I see no reason to complain.

It is or was. I guess you're right, the artist does have the drawing skills of a toddler though .

Well, in his defense, the assistants are usually tasked with drawing the backgrounds not the characters so it may take him some time to start drawing them properly. (and Kishi was also pretty bad when he first started, just check his one-shot and the Naruto pilot chapter)

Eh, not really. He's done some artwork of characters. Those were ok.

Indra give me that clip again. I need to save it in my notes to watch it whenever I want, as there is no way in hell I am watching that movie again.

So this means no otsutsuki invading the chunin exam? That was pretty much naruto & sasukes fight.

Naruto and Sasukes fight, but Boruto's story. The fight between Sasuke and the otsutsuki in the beginning only served to give the audience a sense of place. But it did not serve Boruto's personal story arc - which the manga is focusing on.

The chunin exams was a critical moment for Boruto's story arc because Boruto chose the "easy path" with the ninja tool and Naruto scolding him for that. Which only fueled Boruto's resentment towards Naruto. Then the bad guys come down to interrupt, Naruto and Sasuke try to hold them off and Naruto sacrifices himself for his son. This was another critical moment in Boruto's arc as this was the point in time where he realized how much he cares about his father and vice versa. Boruto volunteers to go and rescue his dad, and Sasuke takes him as his student to free Naruto.

And before you ask, yes. Even the end fight with Naruto and Sasuke against the villain was a core moment in Boruto's personal arc and deserves a spot in the manga while the opening fight does not. The whole movie was based around the old shinobi ways versus the new (hard work vs technology). The final fight paralleled this, as Boruto thought strength could be obtained through simple devices, and the villains of the movie were the symbolic embodiments of this (absorbing power to return it in brute force). However the villains were outdone by Naruto and Sasuke (hard work and teamwork), and Boruto chooses the old ways over technology to put in the final blow against the bad guy.
