Honest question but here’s my little take on it: I don’t think we should. First of all, it was a money grab to begin with for a series that ended rather disappointingly but also somewhat tolerably. Second off the main character is trash and regardless of how you slice it, he’s fiercely underwhelming despite his prodigious skill. He still wound up being another clone. Thirdly, the story itself and I mean, all of the variations. It’s a mess...a literal clusterfuck of retcons and inconsistencies. In the anime, Boruto sports the “Jougan” that was randomly tossed in out of nowhere BUT in the manga, the Jougan hasn’t been even discussed at all. It’s possible that Boruto will never even have it in the manga but I digress, the “Jougan” hasn’t been seen recently at ALL in the anime for some idiotic reason but I theorize that the anime will retcon change Boruto’s eye to the Jougan when Momoshiki peers into the former’s eyes and bestows the Karma seal upon him. Don’t even get me started on Urashiki (who I kind of like btw) and Toneri being made a part of this series.
Anyway, I understood the nerfs in the Shin Uchiha arc but even after Shin warned them about their waning skills, the writers still decided it was a good idea to dilute demigod tier characters. Sasuke’s Rinnegan allows him to learn and easily master literally any and all techniques so why is he still sticking to lighting techs? *Insert Rinnegan nerf & endless Rinnegan Oprah Winfrey style distribution rant*. Anyway, the fact that Kabuto (a key figure in the vote series) and the Shin Uchiha clones are probably never going to be seen again pisses me off. Even though Kabuto found himself, he is still a neigh-Demi-god tier shinobi. He knows literally everything that Orochimaru does and can probably make better “Mitsuki-like” artificial beings that possess the Rinnegan and Sage Mode. I’m not saying that it needs to happen nor am I saying that it should but his prowess is wasted. I feel like a lot of characters with potential are being treated like Goten and Trunks; absolutely wasted and mishandled.
I could go on but I won’t for now and just to stress this, the only thing that’s canon is the manga, regardless of how much that hurts your feelings. Anyway what do you guys think?
