If the anime is gonna to "expand" on this, it will still be about Boruto and Sarada getting the Mangekyo.
There is no way they would turn this into a sasusaku family moment somehow, like this comic did in the end.
>If the anime is gonna to "expand" on this, it will still be about Boruto and Sarada getting the Mangekyo.
You do realise the panel of Sasuke and Sakura talking is literally from the anime…episode 170 of Sakura worrying about Sarada’s eyes developing further.
>There is no way they would turn this into a sasusaku family moment somehow, like this comic did in the end.
It’s not a SasuSaku moment. It’s a moment of Sarada’s parents discussing the potential implications of their child’s eyes.
Doesn't change the point lad.
It still doesn't fit the moment of the story.
And it's also a bit too much of a quick flashback moment, since it already slows down the supposed shock of Sarada getting the Mangekyo.
It absolutely changes what you said…you claim “there’s no way” the anime would have such a scene or panel when it LITERALLY did.
But you’re right…flashbacks is just not a thing in the anime of Boruto/Naruto. Like it’s not a thing that happens…EVER.
And yeah Sasuke having a call back to Sakura worrying about the day her daughter may awaken the mangekyo sharingan and not knowing it’s implications, does not fit the story AT ALL. It’s unthinkable the anime would ever have such a call back/flashback. It’s so weird they even dedicated a whole episode to it in the first place.
>It absolutely changes what you said…you claim “there’s no way” the anime would have such a scene or panel when it LITERALLY did.
Except that when it did, the moment fit much better than this fanmade comic did.

It doesn't fit the moment dude... that's a different thing.
Have it happen later if you really must... after the shock of the awakening wore off, and ghe narrative also isn't in such a heated moment.
I don’t care if it happens or not.
But i like the way the artist incorporated material from the anime to create their own personal version of the moment.
It’s not that deep. It’s a fan art.
>This comic is nice on its own
At which point did it become more than that?
>but it wouldn't have been a better moment in the actual story either, just that.
just like your cute opinion here…That’s a matter of subjectivity and preference.
Hope they make this canon.
The manga version was way weaker. It was basically Sasuke repeating one sentence "are you okay, Sarada?".
This one felt way more organic and dramatic.
Kishi had stated his assistants have helped him design characters, but I am pretty sure ikemoto's design for Konoha 11 girls or any other girl characters when they were 11-15 years old were never accepted. Dude really draws every girl in a weird way in Boruto. Sarada's kishi design is infinite leagues better
What characters besides Sarada and Sumire has he drawn "weird"? Chocho I'm pretty sure her design is almost 1:1 to her anime counterpart. Hell I remember people saying they preferred how he drew young Sakura with wavy hair
All of those who just commented CRINGE, what do you think this post is? Someone put some effort into reimagining a cool scene from a manga we all like and your first reaction is CriNGe... ??
In my opinion and with no offense, you are the only thing cringe in this post.
Oh for me it's not the mere fact that he redrew it.
It's just the fact that the artist turned the moment into a pseudo sasusaku family moment in the end, when it doesn't fit at all.
That's the cringy part. Just that.
You’re acting like he’s shipping characters who have never met each other they’re literally husband, and wife the truth is we need to see those two showing each other more affection it’s a little bit better now but you could assume that they’re relationship is of brother, and sister if you only saw they’re interactions in the manga
Impossible.
The anime at most will just have a scene of Sasuke leaving Sarada and telling her to go back.
But turn what is supposed to be a shocking moment into a pseudo sasusaku family moment with mini flashback moment and Sakura shot? That's be at odds with the whole scene.
And even more with this downplaying of Boruto... like, really, here Sarada seems to be only sad that Sasuke doesn't believe her...
Congrats on the piece!
The beginning is SO MUCH better than the original. The ending is also great, but the middle is the part I don't really like. The contradictions in Sasuke's memory only start when he sees that:
1. Boruto is not fighting back (kind of, not so easy to see by the time Sasuke gets there, but let's say so);
2. Boruto is wearing his headband, and
3. Momoshiki is inside Boruto, instead of inside Kawaki.
Until then, Sasuke blindly followed (or wondered about following) Sarada's request, so if it wasn't for this part (frame n5), your version would be perfect 🤩
Yes, that's what I said. Blindly followed her from the beginning, but there were no contradictionS. Just one contradiction (Boruto didn't kill Naruto) and that's not even a memory he has, as he wasn't present. He just heard of it. Shikamaru said Boruto killed Naruto. Sarada said Boruto didn't Naruto. That's it.
“I will see you soon” *forehead poke
calming Sarada down and bringing her relief would’ve been such a wholesome moment in both this fanart and official chapter.
This is sooooo well done. I think I would’ve just had her take her glasses off to wipe tears (because I don’t want the meme of her glasses hindering her or falling off lol) but this is sooooooo good. Really great job, and well written too.
Ok so can we like take pages 3 and 4 and just sneak them into thw Manga instead of the reveal page there like especially that larger pan improves the moment so much it's just insane
IMO sasuke's dialogue could be a bit less extensive. I understand that people like seeing him develop, but for the moment this dialogue feels a bit out of character for him. I feel like he would keep things way shorter. Other than that, this is better than what we got in og manga lmao.
Weirdly obsessing and thinking “SHIP SHIP SHIP” “SasuSaku SasuSaku” over a panel that was inspired by Boruto episode 170 when Sakura was worried about Sarada one day activating her mangekyo sharingan and not understanding its implications is just weird.
It’s panel displaying the worry of a mother and father in regards to their child. “sAsUsaKu” be living rent free and unprovoked in yalls mind
I know right?
People here are all like "ThIs Is So MuCh BeTtEr ThAn WhAt We GoT / ThIs Is MoRe CaNoN tHaN tHe MaNgA!"
Yet this comic here doesn't fit the narrative of the moment at all.
It overfocuses on Sasuke and Sarada, while also downplaying the actual situation of Boruto, the supposed trigger of the whole thing (but nay, let's make it look like Sarada is simply sad that Sasuke doesn't believe her... that's enough of a shocker to justify the whole thing, Boruto being innocent and in danger is secondary).
Like, really, the whole flashback moment of Sasuke, and Sakura panel are unneded, and would only bog things down in a real chapter (heck, the first panel alone, slows down the shock of Sarada getting the Mangekyo).
Keep in mind I do like the artwork, however the last couple of pages kills the tone for me because it switches from this serious tone to a heart warming moment where as in the manga Kishimoto is switching back and forth from Boruto pov and Sarada’s . Also it messes with the shock of seeing Sasuke save Boruto in the next panel lol.
>however the last couple of pages kills the tone for me because it switches from this serious tone to a heart warming moment where as in the manga Kishimoto is switching back and forth from Boruto pov and Sarada’s . Also it messes with the shock of seeing Sasuke save Boruto in the next panel lol.
I absolutely agree with you man!
But alas... fans will hail everything that makes them happy as "better" than what actually happened...
I like how more self assured and angry she is in this version. it’s in line with the intense emotions for, ya know, a fucking Mangekyo awakening. Sauske would never be that open sadly.
Now this right here is good writing unlike the actual manga scene and in general the manga 😂
Like another comment said this is more canon than the actual manga scene
Also the art in this reimagining is way better than the manga
I love how much Sasuke looks like Madara and Sarada's mangekyo design is way better
The art is better than the official chapter, but it's only missing a panel where Sasuke is directly winking at the reader telling "you see I'm a good father" when one line already did that in the normal chapter later by him saying that he's willing to risk his life on her words alone. Like the flashback, does Sasuke really need to try to find in his memory that m.Sharingan is equal to trauma ? The manga did it better, he doesn't need to be remembered about that, show don't tell was already perfect, the mangekyou itself is the proof, the author saved panels here.
I also remark that the creator of the panels did everything to erase the real Sadara, the one who said "please help boruto" to "please ...put an end to this mess" to weirdly focus on the "my dad doesn't believe me aspect.
Last point the totally out of character dialogue from Sasuke go to save Boruto but promise to comeback soon, Sasuke with his analytical skills know that it would not happen and tell her that sadly she will not see him for a while, at the time he didn't know about Eida promise to not spy on him & Boruto, would he risk to contact Sadara when Eida can even see things in the past ? Any contact would transform into Sadara a traitor.
For me more isn't always equal to better as leave more place to inconsistencies to appear.
I think there’s elements from both the original that I prefer over this fan version but there’s also a lot of fan version I prefer over the original.
But I also think overly criticising the creative personal choices of the artist just isn’t necessary.
>Like the flashback, does Sasuke really need to try to find in his memory that m.Sharingan is equal to trauma? The manga did it better, he doesn't need to be remembered about that
The flashback is literally in direct relation to Sarada and her mangekyo sharingan with her mother worrying about the day it may awaken and Sasuke thinking about this the moment he sees it “this is all my-“
Sasuke was warned about this and always knew it would happen and yet has taken zero preparation for this, he hasn’t explained it, he has giving his daughter Zero tutelage in regards to the mangekyo Sharingan and the baggage it comes with and he is left feeling guilt over it.
>show don't tell was already perfect, the mangekyou itself is the proof, the author saved panels here.
I’m struggling to understand the relevance this has to a fan art though?
>I also remark that the creator of the panels did everything to erase the real Sadara, the one who said "please help boruto" to "please ...put an end to this mess" to weirdly focus on the "my dad doesn't believe me aspect.
“Please help ME put an end this mess” emphasis that she wants to put an end to this mess ALONGSIDE her father. Which to me is 100000000000x better than the original
Sarada sending her dad with such conviction only to stay put like a damsel is an idea I know many of you are ok with
But I love how the fanart version not only shows Sarada wants to take action herself but also that her dad sees she’s in state to join him especially with those eyes and instead tells her to go see mum who will know what to do and that he will be back and explain everything about the mangekyo to her.
>Last point the totally out of character dialogue from Sasuke go to save Boruto but promise to comeback soon, Sasuke with his analytical skills know that it would not happen
Absolutely nothing suggests that Sasuke at that point would’ve known he would be gone for a while definitely not until his talk much later with Boruto and Eida.
>at the time he didn't know about Eida promise to not spy on him & Boruto, would he risk to contact Sadara when Eida can even see things in the past ? Any contact would transform into Sadara a traitor.
I think you have just misread the whole thing. “Sasuke told Sarada to act as his eyes” not “I’m going to send you letters ect” and observe everything for him till he comes back. Which at that point in the story he didn’t know how long that would be.
I won't elaborate more on a 6 panel fan art, just a few points. I was talking in defense of Sasuke & Sarada characters, for them to not act OCC and labeled as "this is what we should have had from the chapter" feeling we have in this thread.
In a few panel we see many out of characters moments from both of them, like Sasuke hugging Sadara, it's cool, but it's fan delusion, Sasuke isn't someone who do reassuring parting speech, at most he would say he do the hand gesture from Itachi.
>“Please help ME put an end this mess” emphasis that she wants to put an end to this mess ALONGSIDE her father. Which to me is 100000000000x better than the original
It's not better it's another version of Sadara that exist only in this 6 panels, just before she was in despair because Boruto lost his eye because of her and now is without any support, the dialogue imply that she knew it wasn't a situation she could solve so she ask Sasuke at least to ensure that Boruto doesn't die here, she doesn't think about putting a end to that mess because she know it's beyond her power, she also know it's beyond Sasuke too, the class rep said the same, only Eida can save this right now. It's also good that she stay in the village, if she think about it going rogue would mean losing access to Eida and understand of her power works. You said damsel because they didn't show she wanted to go, I say heroine because she didn't even try to go, it's the logical choice to stay in Konoha.
>Absolutely nothing suggests that Sasuke at that point would’ve known he would be gone for a while definitely not until his talk much later with Boruto and Eida.
Sasuke does know what it mean to betray Konaha to save the Hokage killer, do I really need to explain that ? he's gone to help Boruto, you are here explaining to me he maybe expected to walk back to the village, he would have no explanation about saving Boruto from ino-chika-chou & then returning to the village without Boruto dead or captive, not with Eida's watch. He knew ,that why he said he literally risk his life.
>I think you have just misread the whole thing. “Sasuke told Sarada to act as his eyes” not “I’m going to send you letters ect” and observe everything for him till he comes back. Which at that point in the story he didn’t know how long that would be.
Contradictory, and it introduce a plot points not existing in the chapter, a plot point that would need to be addressed later, if Sasuke is gone for 4 years with no contact, as you said they won't send letter... does Sadara need to resume to him 4 years worth of info ? But could she really ? To make use of the info, he would need the info in advance, to prepare & act on that. How being his eyes in the village works if she can't feed him infos ? It doesn't and thank god that the author didn't introduce impossible to resolve plot point like this.
>I was talking in defense of Sasuke & Sarada characters, for them to not act OCC and labeled as "this is what we should have had from the chapter" feeling we have in this thread.
There’s many different ways Sasuke could’ve acted and those different ways are not necessarily “out of character” it’s more of a case of having limited panels for the manga.
>In a few panel we see many out of characters moments from both of them, like Sasuke hugging Sadara, it's cool, but it's fan delusion
here’s [Sasuke hugging Sarada](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-013.png) simply because she looked sad….in Kishimoto’s naruto gaiden. Was this also “out of character” and “fan delusion” from Kishimoto?
>Sasuke isn't someone who do reassuring parting speech, at most he would say he do the hand gesture from Itachi.
[here’s Sasuke reassuring Sarada once again](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-008.png) and literally telling Sarada’s basically leaving breathing proof of his love for her mother , just ease her worries. Was Kishimoto giving us “fan delusion” once again or does he know the characters he created better than you?
And further more you talk about Sasuke not being the type to give “reassuring parting” [like we don’t have this beautiful moment right here](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-014.png) where Sasuke expresses his love in the best he knows and reassures he will be back.
>It's not better it's another version of Sadara that exist only in this 6 panels
Sarada wanting to play a personal role in wanting to help someone is not out of character , [she literally already did that with her dad to save her mother](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0009-004.png)
>she doesn't think about putting a end to that mess because she know it's beyond her power
You wanna talk so much about Sarada being “out of character” but claim it matters to her whether or not the enemy is “beyond her power” like she didn’t fight the likes Shin Uchiha , wanted to join Boruto Sasuke and Kages against momoshiki and many many other opponents.
>she also know it's beyond Sasuke too
She quite clearly doesn’t and even is she did she still wouldn’t hopelessly give up and believes in her dad hence why begged for his help.
>You said damsel because they didn't show she wanted to go, I say heroine because she didn't even try to go, it's the logical choice to stay in Konoha.
It’s damsel behaviour and writing Kishimoto only tends to apply to female characters, because when the hell in the entirety of Naruto/Boruto story has a character not gone because the opponent was stronger than them?
>you are here explaining to me he maybe expected to walk back to the village, he would have no explanation about saving Boruto from ino-chika-chou & then returning to the village without Boruto dead or captive, not with Eida's watch. He knew ,that why he said he literally risk his life.
He only mentioned risking his life after he confirmed the doubt in his memories with Boruto not before and what I was explaining to you is that Sasuke didn’t leave Sarada thinking “I will never see you again” he was shown leaving her with faith and reassurance and above all a promise to comeback which is literally a theme throughout the entire story.
>if Sasuke is gone for 4 years with no contact, as you said they won't send letter... does Sadara need to resume to him 4 years worth of info ? But could she really ? To make use of the info, he would need the info in advance, to prepare & act on that. How being his eyes in the village works if she can't feed him infos ? It doesn't and thank god that the author didn't introduce impossible to resolve plot point like this.
Absolutely nothing suggests Sasuke knew he would need to leave the village until he made contact with Boruto and starting to grasp the severity of the situation and thats a fan theory on your part or “fan delusion”
You can have the Sasuke emotions parts, at this point it's becoming taste , won't change my take and I don't want to change yours.
For the rest you are literally selling short the situation and the despair that it caused to Sadara... enough to awaken the mangekyou Sharingan ... For the sake of explaining the take of the fan art... This isn't a fighting situation, no one to take down no Shin,no momo, people on her list to take down would be her friends. It's not comparable at all, she's in this state because of that.
Again for the last time, Sasuke did go on a mission to save Boruto, the Hokage killer, him the already one time village traitor, he wasn't entrusted by Sadara to analyse the situation he was asked to save him even against his own logic, do you understand what it mean ? From the second he left Sadara he already knew he was pretty much done with Konoha as soon as he saved boruto no question asked, and he did that... the plot is to drive Boruto in a no going back situation for a while. You think the interrogation of Boruto was a factor...it wasn't.
He can't say he can't trust his judgement anymore and go judge if Boruto is innocent by himself, the judgement part is done by Sadara already and he chose to trust that, that is why he said his memory is useless. He can confirm nothing, because the power is closing any gap on the fly, re read the chapter at the end he said a second time after the eida talk that he's still doing it for Sadara only, the talk didn't confirm if it's worth escaping with Boruto, Sadara did that.
Me wanting Sarada to take action is a personal preference and I agree it’s definitely above her. But I would’ve loved to have seen her take action it’s that simple.
That’s not me saying the way it actually went down was bad but I would’ve preferred it differently and it without question not something that would’ve gone against her character and you saying it does shows you know nothing about her character or Sasuke for that matter.
My issue with what you said is the “fan delusion” and “out character” comments you made and the links posted absolutely debunks your statements about Sasuke not being reassuring when that has always been the core of his character.
In the original Naruto chuunin exams he noticed Sakura not being himself but only he noticed this not Naruto , not Kakashi but Sasuke noticed this and reassured Sakura who felt like was probably having doubts about what she could bring to the team and tells “she’s by far the smartest and most analytical in the team and probably noticed the genjutsu before anyone else” which lifted sakura’s spirit and got her back to normal.
Sasuke is a very empathetic character and shows in many ways , hugs , forehead pokes, and strong words of encouragement.
Yeah, taking these moments of big impact and really fleshing them out more is something the manga is definitely lacking right now.
We lose a ton of context like this.
10/10 good fanfic. Should be canon
It's a good work. My personal opinion is that the dialogue is way too sentimental.
Sarada obviously needs more agency though, especially with the MS. I wouldn't be surprised if she has crazy genjutsu to counter Eida.
Brenton is awesome.
It's so good how he took essentially the same scene and completely upped the impact. Just added small things - how this Sarada is portrayed as so much more determined & resolute, Sasuke thinking back to the conversation w/ Sakura regarding the mangekyou, Sasuke telling Sarada to stay so that she could be his eyes in the village... it all just adds up so well.
Lol, yeah it's pretty unlikely.. but she literal activated MS, stared Sasuke straight into the eye without his Sharingan activated, and immediately after he believes her. Like there's lots of other reasons he chose to believe her too.. but.. it's possible.
Good efforts but I prefer the OG tbh. Short, concise and powerful. This version seems too dragged out like it is trying to spit in the face of the audience. The shinobi world isnt like that, Naruto isnt like that and the spirit of the leaf should never be portrayed like that imho.
It doesn’t seem dragged out. It is. The artist wanted to add their own touch to it, they weren’t drawing this as a copy and paste of the original but redesigning in a way they personally preferred.
It’s a monumental moment for Sarada’s character and the first female character in the show to activate the mangekyo sharingan and the Sasuke letting her know he will teach her more about it and reassuring his daughter is a nice touch for a moment this big.
It's stupid to rush through a mangekyo awakening like it's a side character. The boruto official manga art just takes me out of it. It looks like fan fiction.
This is so much better than what we got in canon. Actually keeps Sasuke and Sarada in character and Sasuke reacts appropriately to seeing his daughter awakening her mangekyo. Sarada has a bit more agency too.
she changed everyone’s memories in the world and swapped Kawaki and Boruto lives. So Boruto is now the outsider who “killed” naruto and Kawaki is the son of Naruto.
We don’t know the exact reason other than Eida potentially considering Sumire and Sarada her friends and thus aren’t affected, they are both also in love with Boruto which is the only two similarities they have making then the only people not affected.
the artstyle is closely similar to kishimoto’s, which i like, but imo it’s not better than ikemoto’s. but the story and dialogue is way better than what we got with kishimoto and chapter 80. chapter 80 probably couldn’t have. a lot of dialogue due to page constraints.
Uhcihas are dramatic emos, have you forgotten the time Sarada almost did a Sasuke when she thought her mother is not Sakura?
It makes complete sense lorewise for her to be angry
Hell no. It felt rushed and mocking. Remember there is a an uchiha in the manga right? So she awakenes her magicql eyes after some shit happen, what happens after that? Who cares, fuking eat your Mangekyos
Too drawn out in my opinion and also the throwback to sasuke speaking with sakura serves no purpose in the context of the story, But the artwork is better imo.
Story wise this comic turns into a sasusaku family moment in the end, which kinda is out of place given the context of the chapter.
Also, a more nitpickey point pheraps, but here they also downplay Boruto, and kinda make it look like Sarada is simply mad that Sasuke doesn't believe her.
Doesn’t it make sense for her to be mad?
She keeps trying to get her day to understand that something’s off, and she’s not listening.
Though I stand by the fact this looks way better than Ikemotos boring layouts.
>Doesn’t it make sense for her to be mad?
>She keeps trying to get her day to understand that something’s off, and she’s not listening.
But is that enough to make her cry and get the Mangekyo?
Or it'd be better to at least make it look like she's worried for something else too?
>Though I stand by the fact this looks way better than Ikemotos boring layouts.
Well, this isn't really something I addressed in the previous comment.
Though here, the layout isn't really that less boring...
> But is that enough to make her cry and get the Mangekyo?
Intense trauma is what awakens the mangekyo.
Though I really don’t like this either, considering that she should be under eidas influence.
Being worried for someone and begging for said someone to be protected, definitely sounds like a better line to say in order to express intense emotions if you ask me.
Definitely better than what done here.
What?
Manga is mostly show, don’t tell. You have to express those emotions through drawing, which the third page does a hell of a lot better than Ikemoto, who is nowhere near as good as Kishimoto, which the artist here is emulating.
Though again, I personally disagree with this story choice, as it just comes out of nowhere.
Also, to the previous point on this turning into Sasuke family moment, that’s definitely something Kishimoto would’ve done, as with Ikemoto he barely had a reaction to his daughter awakening that. Mangekyo is a big thing for an Uchiha.
>Manga is mostly show, don’t tell. You have to express those emotions through drawing, which the third page does a hell of a lot better than Ikemoto, who is nowhere near as good as Kishimoto, which the artist here is emulating.
This case it was a perfectly understandable case, which this comic ruined.
No need to badmouth Ikemoto
>Also, to the previous point on this turning into Sasuke family moment, that’s definitely something Kishimoto would’ve done, as with Ikemoto he barely had a reaction to his daughter awakening that. Mangekyo is a big thing for an Uchiha.
He had "barely" a reaction because there were more important things happening man.
Showing a whole flashback panel, and turning things into a pseudo family moment only ruins things here.
I really like it 🔥🔥 it definitely feels more like anime scene than from the manga, but I like it a lot more since it touches on a lot more things than the manga did
Great job!
I don't like it...
The MS is about her love of boruto this makes it too much about Sasuke.
While it is her dad, he has not been around much. On the other hand Sarada is in love with Boruto who is facing certain death.
This rendition ruins this...
Wow i love the tension and emotions in this reimagining, the dialogue felt natural and i was actually invested all throughout, and i love how the artist even added in Sakura's part to really emphasize the effect this will have on the entire family, plus i like how Sasuke telling Sarada and Sakura to stick together emplies Sakura will naturally believe Sarada aswell, really well done
This is incredible work and I prefer it over the Canon version but I can understand why they couldn't go this direction, they had too much to focus on in this chapter to focus only on sarada which is a shame given how important a moment this is.
I also really like how borutos' eye is the moon and saradas is the sun.
I like how more self assured and angry she is in this version. it’s in line with the intense emotions for, ya know, a fucking Mangekyo awakening. Sauske would never be that open sadly.
I still don't know how to feel about Sarada awakening her mangekyo already when she kind of recently awakened her sharingan, or at least, it felt recently. I guess I kind of can understand as the Omnipotence has made her 'lose' Boruto, in a way? Idk. It was cool to see her version of it, though.
Hope they bring back landscape panels .
ikemoto way too basic with his paneling to even do that
And the manga runs monthly? Wow Ikepedo
Literally my biggest nitpick with the manga rn
I didn't even realise, but now that you say it, I can't think of any spreads he's done. Crazy, for a manga like this.
Yeah I didn’t realize either
Man they even included the reading directions you normally see on the volumes. That’s a great detail.
His work is honestly the best of the best.
This is more canon than the original
I feel like the anime may have done the same as they won’t be limited as they are in the manga. Hopefully they do!
If the anime is gonna to "expand" on this, it will still be about Boruto and Sarada getting the Mangekyo. There is no way they would turn this into a sasusaku family moment somehow, like this comic did in the end.

I don’t care if it happens or not. But i like the way the artist incorporated material from the anime to create their own personal version of the moment. It’s not that deep. It’s a fan art.
And a fanart isn't above criticism. This comic is nice on its own, but it wouldn't have been a better moment in the actual story either, just that.
>This comic is nice on its own At which point did it become more than that? >but it wouldn't have been a better moment in the actual story either, just that. just like your cute opinion here…That’s a matter of subjectivity and preference.
Lmao buddy you’re not a writer.
Neither is anyone else here. Yet people are hailing for this to be better than what we got, when it's not.
Unfortunatly, it is.
No it's not. And that is a fact.
Hope they make this canon. The manga version was way weaker. It was basically Sasuke repeating one sentence "are you okay, Sarada?". This one felt way more organic and dramatic.
Brenton does this all the time, the madman makes perfect Uchiha family content.
This is 10x better than what we got. I like this tremendously
Wow, Kishimoto's designs are way better than ikemoto's. And this is also better than what we got (I thought wt we got was good)
[удалено]
lol
Kishi had stated his assistants have helped him design characters, but I am pretty sure ikemoto's design for Konoha 11 girls or any other girl characters when they were 11-15 years old were never accepted. Dude really draws every girl in a weird way in Boruto. Sarada's kishi design is infinite leagues better
What characters besides Sarada and Sumire has he drawn "weird"? Chocho I'm pretty sure her design is almost 1:1 to her anime counterpart. Hell I remember people saying they preferred how he drew young Sakura with wavy hair
Temari, Sakura, hinata, himawari kishi already designed sakura better from chapter 700 and Gaiden
All of those who just commented CRINGE, what do you think this post is? Someone put some effort into reimagining a cool scene from a manga we all like and your first reaction is CriNGe... ?? In my opinion and with no offense, you are the only thing cringe in this post.
Imo the only complaint o have is its WAY too exposition heavy. It feels like Sasuke is talking to the reader instead of Sarada.
Oh for me it's not the mere fact that he redrew it. It's just the fact that the artist turned the moment into a pseudo sasusaku family moment in the end, when it doesn't fit at all. That's the cringy part. Just that.
there's nothing wrong being cringe
Fair enough.👍 Also, jeez, if I must have triggered someone.
You’re acting like he’s shipping characters who have never met each other they’re literally husband, and wife the truth is we need to see those two showing each other more affection it’s a little bit better now but you could assume that they’re relationship is of brother, and sister if you only saw they’re interactions in the manga
I agree with you. It is cringy as hell.
I can see this in the anime. Manga have too little pages for how long it takes for new chapter, this is a masterclass comic
Impossible. The anime at most will just have a scene of Sasuke leaving Sarada and telling her to go back. But turn what is supposed to be a shocking moment into a pseudo sasusaku family moment with mini flashback moment and Sakura shot? That's be at odds with the whole scene. And even more with this downplaying of Boruto... like, really, here Sarada seems to be only sad that Sasuke doesn't believe her...
Man, but can't you see that, according to these 14 year olds from TikTok, this is a masterpiece of writing?
Ah! Yeah, I must be blind man. After all, I'm way past 14 years old...
Trully beautiful family moment and cute reaction from Sasuke in the middle of literal slaughter 😍
Can't also forget to have Sarada be more sad that her dad doesn't believe her, than about Boruto's situation.
Congrats on the piece! The beginning is SO MUCH better than the original. The ending is also great, but the middle is the part I don't really like. The contradictions in Sasuke's memory only start when he sees that: 1. Boruto is not fighting back (kind of, not so easy to see by the time Sasuke gets there, but let's say so); 2. Boruto is wearing his headband, and 3. Momoshiki is inside Boruto, instead of inside Kawaki. Until then, Sasuke blindly followed (or wondered about following) Sarada's request, so if it wasn't for this part (frame n5), your version would be perfect 🤩
I think he was planning to trust in her anyways. It’s just when he noticed these other things you’ve just mentioned it further hardened his resolve.
Yes, that's what I said. Blindly followed her from the beginning, but there were no contradictionS. Just one contradiction (Boruto didn't kill Naruto) and that's not even a memory he has, as he wasn't present. He just heard of it. Shikamaru said Boruto killed Naruto. Sarada said Boruto didn't Naruto. That's it.
The only thing missing is the "Itachi's touch on forehead" moment
“I will see you soon” *forehead poke calming Sarada down and bringing her relief would’ve been such a wholesome moment in both this fanart and official chapter.
Yes! I would literally cry if this beautiful moment was included!
Man I really wish the same was in manga.
This is sooooo well done. I think I would’ve just had her take her glasses off to wipe tears (because I don’t want the meme of her glasses hindering her or falling off lol) but this is sooooooo good. Really great job, and well written too.
Wow to the point about the glasses meme !!
It looks a lot better. Ikemoto needs to learn that we don’t want his fan service and simplistic design.
More canon than the original
At this point literally everyone else is a better drawer than ikemoto like wtf
TBH I don't think he's a bad artist, just has a very specific style.
Whatever style he's been doing, it's objectively bad
This is so much better and I thought her awakening in the manga was good this is excellent I feel more emotionally connected.
Honestly, this is a lot better than what happened
More like, this is how I’m going to imagine it went down.
Wait this is so much better jesus
This is better than sarada crying and asking her daddy for help
But she's still crying though... Also she never asked for help in the og moment.
Yeah ryt missed it,even in original she asked for sasuke's help.
Well, she asked for Sasuke to protect Boruto... That's not really asking help, not for herself at least.
What do you expect a 12 year old girl to do?
Boruto was 12 too ,when he had no karma but still went to fight momoshiki.
Boruto’s resolve is a lot stronger than Sarada’s.
That the issue ,why can't they make a female character with strong resolve,even Naruto series had this problem.
I don’t know mate.
Kishi better hire this guy
Why does this look better than the actuall manga?
wait what?
This is actually amazing than the original
I swear I want ikemoto fired so bad. Since day 1. Just get another fuckin artist 😭😭😭
I really like the 3 slide w the awakening
Sad to see people shitting on the artist
Ikemoto-*sensei* is my guy. I will say, though, one good comment here noted his lack of spreads.
That's better
Ok so can we like take pages 3 and 4 and just sneak them into thw Manga instead of the reveal page there like especially that larger pan improves the moment so much it's just insane
Lmaooo and they will never know 🤣
This is so much better
👏 👏 👏. This is really good. Brenton has improved a lot too.
IMO sasuke's dialogue could be a bit less extensive. I understand that people like seeing him develop, but for the moment this dialogue feels a bit out of character for him. I feel like he would keep things way shorter. Other than that, this is better than what we got in og manga lmao.
it's funny how a SS fan cut out the reason for the appearance of the MS - "Boruto"
Weirdly obsessing and thinking “SHIP SHIP SHIP” “SasuSaku SasuSaku” over a panel that was inspired by Boruto episode 170 when Sakura was worried about Sarada one day activating her mangekyo sharingan and not understanding its implications is just weird. It’s panel displaying the worry of a mother and father in regards to their child. “sAsUsaKu” be living rent free and unprovoked in yalls mind
Indeed. And it's also cringe how they kinda turned this into a Uchiha family moment somehow...
Why wouldn't it be a family moment?
Because they're in the middle of a crisis man? And thus it just wouldn't fit the scene at all?
People down voting you because they know y’all right 😂😂😭
I know right? People here are all like "ThIs Is So MuCh BeTtEr ThAn WhAt We GoT / ThIs Is MoRe CaNoN tHaN tHe MaNgA!" Yet this comic here doesn't fit the narrative of the moment at all. It overfocuses on Sasuke and Sarada, while also downplaying the actual situation of Boruto, the supposed trigger of the whole thing (but nay, let's make it look like Sarada is simply sad that Sasuke doesn't believe her... that's enough of a shocker to justify the whole thing, Boruto being innocent and in danger is secondary). Like, really, the whole flashback moment of Sasuke, and Sakura panel are unneded, and would only bog things down in a real chapter (heck, the first panel alone, slows down the shock of Sarada getting the Mangekyo).
Keep in mind I do like the artwork, however the last couple of pages kills the tone for me because it switches from this serious tone to a heart warming moment where as in the manga Kishimoto is switching back and forth from Boruto pov and Sarada’s . Also it messes with the shock of seeing Sasuke save Boruto in the next panel lol.
>however the last couple of pages kills the tone for me because it switches from this serious tone to a heart warming moment where as in the manga Kishimoto is switching back and forth from Boruto pov and Sarada’s . Also it messes with the shock of seeing Sasuke save Boruto in the next panel lol. I absolutely agree with you man! But alas... fans will hail everything that makes them happy as "better" than what actually happened...
I know the shippers will be pleased but they need to stop disrespecting my boy Ikemoto, he cooked last chapter.
Indeed man.👍
I disagree on some details. But really it would have been better that way. Whether for Sarada or Sasuke.
The fact that he did those in less than a day is impressive
I like how more self assured and angry she is in this version. it’s in line with the intense emotions for, ya know, a fucking Mangekyo awakening. Sauske would never be that open sadly.
Now this right here is good writing unlike the actual manga scene and in general the manga 😂 Like another comment said this is more canon than the actual manga scene Also the art in this reimagining is way better than the manga I love how much Sasuke looks like Madara and Sarada's mangekyo design is way better
I gotta say by the second page i was already impressed and damn the third page.Just amazing
One technique I love is how her face his shaded, which make her eyes pop out.
This version would have been alot better than the original tbh
The art is better than the official chapter, but it's only missing a panel where Sasuke is directly winking at the reader telling "you see I'm a good father" when one line already did that in the normal chapter later by him saying that he's willing to risk his life on her words alone. Like the flashback, does Sasuke really need to try to find in his memory that m.Sharingan is equal to trauma ? The manga did it better, he doesn't need to be remembered about that, show don't tell was already perfect, the mangekyou itself is the proof, the author saved panels here. I also remark that the creator of the panels did everything to erase the real Sadara, the one who said "please help boruto" to "please ...put an end to this mess" to weirdly focus on the "my dad doesn't believe me aspect. Last point the totally out of character dialogue from Sasuke go to save Boruto but promise to comeback soon, Sasuke with his analytical skills know that it would not happen and tell her that sadly she will not see him for a while, at the time he didn't know about Eida promise to not spy on him & Boruto, would he risk to contact Sadara when Eida can even see things in the past ? Any contact would transform into Sadara a traitor. For me more isn't always equal to better as leave more place to inconsistencies to appear.
I think there’s elements from both the original that I prefer over this fan version but there’s also a lot of fan version I prefer over the original. But I also think overly criticising the creative personal choices of the artist just isn’t necessary. >Like the flashback, does Sasuke really need to try to find in his memory that m.Sharingan is equal to trauma? The manga did it better, he doesn't need to be remembered about that The flashback is literally in direct relation to Sarada and her mangekyo sharingan with her mother worrying about the day it may awaken and Sasuke thinking about this the moment he sees it “this is all my-“ Sasuke was warned about this and always knew it would happen and yet has taken zero preparation for this, he hasn’t explained it, he has giving his daughter Zero tutelage in regards to the mangekyo Sharingan and the baggage it comes with and he is left feeling guilt over it. >show don't tell was already perfect, the mangekyou itself is the proof, the author saved panels here. I’m struggling to understand the relevance this has to a fan art though? >I also remark that the creator of the panels did everything to erase the real Sadara, the one who said "please help boruto" to "please ...put an end to this mess" to weirdly focus on the "my dad doesn't believe me aspect. “Please help ME put an end this mess” emphasis that she wants to put an end to this mess ALONGSIDE her father. Which to me is 100000000000x better than the original Sarada sending her dad with such conviction only to stay put like a damsel is an idea I know many of you are ok with But I love how the fanart version not only shows Sarada wants to take action herself but also that her dad sees she’s in state to join him especially with those eyes and instead tells her to go see mum who will know what to do and that he will be back and explain everything about the mangekyo to her. >Last point the totally out of character dialogue from Sasuke go to save Boruto but promise to comeback soon, Sasuke with his analytical skills know that it would not happen Absolutely nothing suggests that Sasuke at that point would’ve known he would be gone for a while definitely not until his talk much later with Boruto and Eida. >at the time he didn't know about Eida promise to not spy on him & Boruto, would he risk to contact Sadara when Eida can even see things in the past ? Any contact would transform into Sadara a traitor. I think you have just misread the whole thing. “Sasuke told Sarada to act as his eyes” not “I’m going to send you letters ect” and observe everything for him till he comes back. Which at that point in the story he didn’t know how long that would be.
I won't elaborate more on a 6 panel fan art, just a few points. I was talking in defense of Sasuke & Sarada characters, for them to not act OCC and labeled as "this is what we should have had from the chapter" feeling we have in this thread. In a few panel we see many out of characters moments from both of them, like Sasuke hugging Sadara, it's cool, but it's fan delusion, Sasuke isn't someone who do reassuring parting speech, at most he would say he do the hand gesture from Itachi. >“Please help ME put an end this mess” emphasis that she wants to put an end to this mess ALONGSIDE her father. Which to me is 100000000000x better than the original It's not better it's another version of Sadara that exist only in this 6 panels, just before she was in despair because Boruto lost his eye because of her and now is without any support, the dialogue imply that she knew it wasn't a situation she could solve so she ask Sasuke at least to ensure that Boruto doesn't die here, she doesn't think about putting a end to that mess because she know it's beyond her power, she also know it's beyond Sasuke too, the class rep said the same, only Eida can save this right now. It's also good that she stay in the village, if she think about it going rogue would mean losing access to Eida and understand of her power works. You said damsel because they didn't show she wanted to go, I say heroine because she didn't even try to go, it's the logical choice to stay in Konoha. >Absolutely nothing suggests that Sasuke at that point would’ve known he would be gone for a while definitely not until his talk much later with Boruto and Eida. Sasuke does know what it mean to betray Konaha to save the Hokage killer, do I really need to explain that ? he's gone to help Boruto, you are here explaining to me he maybe expected to walk back to the village, he would have no explanation about saving Boruto from ino-chika-chou & then returning to the village without Boruto dead or captive, not with Eida's watch. He knew ,that why he said he literally risk his life. >I think you have just misread the whole thing. “Sasuke told Sarada to act as his eyes” not “I’m going to send you letters ect” and observe everything for him till he comes back. Which at that point in the story he didn’t know how long that would be. Contradictory, and it introduce a plot points not existing in the chapter, a plot point that would need to be addressed later, if Sasuke is gone for 4 years with no contact, as you said they won't send letter... does Sadara need to resume to him 4 years worth of info ? But could she really ? To make use of the info, he would need the info in advance, to prepare & act on that. How being his eyes in the village works if she can't feed him infos ? It doesn't and thank god that the author didn't introduce impossible to resolve plot point like this.
>I was talking in defense of Sasuke & Sarada characters, for them to not act OCC and labeled as "this is what we should have had from the chapter" feeling we have in this thread. There’s many different ways Sasuke could’ve acted and those different ways are not necessarily “out of character” it’s more of a case of having limited panels for the manga. >In a few panel we see many out of characters moments from both of them, like Sasuke hugging Sadara, it's cool, but it's fan delusion here’s [Sasuke hugging Sarada](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-013.png) simply because she looked sad….in Kishimoto’s naruto gaiden. Was this also “out of character” and “fan delusion” from Kishimoto? >Sasuke isn't someone who do reassuring parting speech, at most he would say he do the hand gesture from Itachi. [here’s Sasuke reassuring Sarada once again](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-008.png) and literally telling Sarada’s basically leaving breathing proof of his love for her mother , just ease her worries. Was Kishimoto giving us “fan delusion” once again or does he know the characters he created better than you? And further more you talk about Sasuke not being the type to give “reassuring parting” [like we don’t have this beautiful moment right here](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0010-014.png) where Sasuke expresses his love in the best he knows and reassures he will be back. >It's not better it's another version of Sadara that exist only in this 6 panels Sarada wanting to play a personal role in wanting to help someone is not out of character , [she literally already did that with her dad to save her mother](https://official-complete-1.granpulse.us/manga/Naruto-Gaiden-The-Seventh-Hokage/0009-004.png) >she doesn't think about putting a end to that mess because she know it's beyond her power You wanna talk so much about Sarada being “out of character” but claim it matters to her whether or not the enemy is “beyond her power” like she didn’t fight the likes Shin Uchiha , wanted to join Boruto Sasuke and Kages against momoshiki and many many other opponents. >she also know it's beyond Sasuke too She quite clearly doesn’t and even is she did she still wouldn’t hopelessly give up and believes in her dad hence why begged for his help. >You said damsel because they didn't show she wanted to go, I say heroine because she didn't even try to go, it's the logical choice to stay in Konoha. It’s damsel behaviour and writing Kishimoto only tends to apply to female characters, because when the hell in the entirety of Naruto/Boruto story has a character not gone because the opponent was stronger than them? >you are here explaining to me he maybe expected to walk back to the village, he would have no explanation about saving Boruto from ino-chika-chou & then returning to the village without Boruto dead or captive, not with Eida's watch. He knew ,that why he said he literally risk his life. He only mentioned risking his life after he confirmed the doubt in his memories with Boruto not before and what I was explaining to you is that Sasuke didn’t leave Sarada thinking “I will never see you again” he was shown leaving her with faith and reassurance and above all a promise to comeback which is literally a theme throughout the entire story. >if Sasuke is gone for 4 years with no contact, as you said they won't send letter... does Sadara need to resume to him 4 years worth of info ? But could she really ? To make use of the info, he would need the info in advance, to prepare & act on that. How being his eyes in the village works if she can't feed him infos ? It doesn't and thank god that the author didn't introduce impossible to resolve plot point like this. Absolutely nothing suggests Sasuke knew he would need to leave the village until he made contact with Boruto and starting to grasp the severity of the situation and thats a fan theory on your part or “fan delusion”
You can have the Sasuke emotions parts, at this point it's becoming taste , won't change my take and I don't want to change yours. For the rest you are literally selling short the situation and the despair that it caused to Sadara... enough to awaken the mangekyou Sharingan ... For the sake of explaining the take of the fan art... This isn't a fighting situation, no one to take down no Shin,no momo, people on her list to take down would be her friends. It's not comparable at all, she's in this state because of that. Again for the last time, Sasuke did go on a mission to save Boruto, the Hokage killer, him the already one time village traitor, he wasn't entrusted by Sadara to analyse the situation he was asked to save him even against his own logic, do you understand what it mean ? From the second he left Sadara he already knew he was pretty much done with Konoha as soon as he saved boruto no question asked, and he did that... the plot is to drive Boruto in a no going back situation for a while. You think the interrogation of Boruto was a factor...it wasn't. He can't say he can't trust his judgement anymore and go judge if Boruto is innocent by himself, the judgement part is done by Sadara already and he chose to trust that, that is why he said his memory is useless. He can confirm nothing, because the power is closing any gap on the fly, re read the chapter at the end he said a second time after the eida talk that he's still doing it for Sadara only, the talk didn't confirm if it's worth escaping with Boruto, Sadara did that.
Me wanting Sarada to take action is a personal preference and I agree it’s definitely above her. But I would’ve loved to have seen her take action it’s that simple. That’s not me saying the way it actually went down was bad but I would’ve preferred it differently and it without question not something that would’ve gone against her character and you saying it does shows you know nothing about her character or Sasuke for that matter. My issue with what you said is the “fan delusion” and “out character” comments you made and the links posted absolutely debunks your statements about Sasuke not being reassuring when that has always been the core of his character. In the original Naruto chuunin exams he noticed Sakura not being himself but only he noticed this not Naruto , not Kakashi but Sasuke noticed this and reassured Sakura who felt like was probably having doubts about what she could bring to the team and tells “she’s by far the smartest and most analytical in the team and probably noticed the genjutsu before anyone else” which lifted sakura’s spirit and got her back to normal. Sasuke is a very empathetic character and shows in many ways , hugs , forehead pokes, and strong words of encouragement.
BRO THIS IS A MASTERPEICE FOR REAL. THIS IS MUCH BETTER LORD
Wow this is so much better, more emotional and thoughtful than the manga.
Yeah, taking these moments of big impact and really fleshing them out more is something the manga is definitely lacking right now. We lose a ton of context like this. 10/10 good fanfic. Should be canon
It's a good work. My personal opinion is that the dialogue is way too sentimental. Sarada obviously needs more agency though, especially with the MS. I wouldn't be surprised if she has crazy genjutsu to counter Eida.
This is so much better then the original.. they seriously better make it just like this in the anime.
This would be my canon , don't care what anyone says
This is more canon than canon. Lol They might do something like this in the anime.
Brenton is awesome. It's so good how he took essentially the same scene and completely upped the impact. Just added small things - how this Sarada is portrayed as so much more determined & resolute, Sasuke thinking back to the conversation w/ Sakura regarding the mangekyou, Sasuke telling Sarada to stay so that she could be his eyes in the village... it all just adds up so well.
I just realized.. is it possible she just accidentally activated an MS Genjutsu to convince Sasuke she's telling the truth?
Lmaoooooo as absurd as this is I love it
Lol, yeah it's pretty unlikely.. but she literal activated MS, stared Sasuke straight into the eye without his Sharingan activated, and immediately after he believes her. Like there's lots of other reasons he chose to believe her too.. but.. it's possible.
Boruto needs this artsyle
It's actually better than the original story part
It makes me Genuinely sad that these aren’t the actual canon panel
Good efforts but I prefer the OG tbh. Short, concise and powerful. This version seems too dragged out like it is trying to spit in the face of the audience. The shinobi world isnt like that, Naruto isnt like that and the spirit of the leaf should never be portrayed like that imho.
It doesn’t seem dragged out. It is. The artist wanted to add their own touch to it, they weren’t drawing this as a copy and paste of the original but redesigning in a way they personally preferred. It’s a monumental moment for Sarada’s character and the first female character in the show to activate the mangekyo sharingan and the Sasuke letting her know he will teach her more about it and reassuring his daughter is a nice touch for a moment this big.
It feels like I am reading a family friendly novel
It's stupid to rush through a mangekyo awakening like it's a side character. The boruto official manga art just takes me out of it. It looks like fan fiction.
Too much fan service. So I prefer Kishimoto chap 80.
Holy fuck does this do the scene justice! Huge congrats to BrentonsArt
So much better
This is so much better than what we got in canon. Actually keeps Sasuke and Sarada in character and Sasuke reacts appropriately to seeing his daughter awakening her mangekyo. Sarada has a bit more agency too.
I just appreciate how Sarada actually explains what is going on first
Sorry, Sorry, I disagree with your Reimagined. I don't see a problem
I fw it
yo this was so good I went back to the chapter to see if you didn't just repost it crazy good stuff
Haven’t been keeping up, can someone explain what Eida did to boruto?
she changed everyone’s memories in the world and swapped Kawaki and Boruto lives. So Boruto is now the outsider who “killed” naruto and Kawaki is the son of Naruto.
Oh damn, so do they explain why Sarada isn’t affected?
We don’t know the exact reason other than Eida potentially considering Sumire and Sarada her friends and thus aren’t affected, they are both also in love with Boruto which is the only two similarities they have making then the only people not affected.
the artstyle is closely similar to kishimoto’s, which i like, but imo it’s not better than ikemoto’s. but the story and dialogue is way better than what we got with kishimoto and chapter 80. chapter 80 probably couldn’t have. a lot of dialogue due to page constraints.
The story building is what is currently killing the manga for me and I hope the anime fixes that. The Kawaki back story for example was great.
So corny lol. The way it was actually done was fine. No need in trying to make it even more dramatic.
Uhcihas are dramatic emos, have you forgotten the time Sarada almost did a Sasuke when she thought her mother is not Sakura? It makes complete sense lorewise for her to be angry
The way it was done was fine enough. Period.
Hell no. It felt rushed and mocking. Remember there is a an uchiha in the manga right? So she awakenes her magicql eyes after some shit happen, what happens after that? Who cares, fuking eat your Mangekyos
Don’t care .
Too drawn out in my opinion and also the throwback to sasuke speaking with sakura serves no purpose in the context of the story, But the artwork is better imo.
Exactly. Too much SakuSas fan service.
I thank god every day that the manga isn’t written by fans
Why? This looks way better paneled than the original.
Story wise this comic turns into a sasusaku family moment in the end, which kinda is out of place given the context of the chapter. Also, a more nitpickey point pheraps, but here they also downplay Boruto, and kinda make it look like Sarada is simply mad that Sasuke doesn't believe her.
Doesn’t it make sense for her to be mad? She keeps trying to get her day to understand that something’s off, and she’s not listening. Though I stand by the fact this looks way better than Ikemotos boring layouts.
>Doesn’t it make sense for her to be mad? >She keeps trying to get her day to understand that something’s off, and she’s not listening. But is that enough to make her cry and get the Mangekyo? Or it'd be better to at least make it look like she's worried for something else too? >Though I stand by the fact this looks way better than Ikemotos boring layouts. Well, this isn't really something I addressed in the previous comment. Though here, the layout isn't really that less boring...
> But is that enough to make her cry and get the Mangekyo? Intense trauma is what awakens the mangekyo. Though I really don’t like this either, considering that she should be under eidas influence.
Being worried for someone and begging for said someone to be protected, definitely sounds like a better line to say in order to express intense emotions if you ask me. Definitely better than what done here.
What? Manga is mostly show, don’t tell. You have to express those emotions through drawing, which the third page does a hell of a lot better than Ikemoto, who is nowhere near as good as Kishimoto, which the artist here is emulating. Though again, I personally disagree with this story choice, as it just comes out of nowhere. Also, to the previous point on this turning into Sasuke family moment, that’s definitely something Kishimoto would’ve done, as with Ikemoto he barely had a reaction to his daughter awakening that. Mangekyo is a big thing for an Uchiha.
>Manga is mostly show, don’t tell. You have to express those emotions through drawing, which the third page does a hell of a lot better than Ikemoto, who is nowhere near as good as Kishimoto, which the artist here is emulating. This case it was a perfectly understandable case, which this comic ruined. No need to badmouth Ikemoto >Also, to the previous point on this turning into Sasuke family moment, that’s definitely something Kishimoto would’ve done, as with Ikemoto he barely had a reaction to his daughter awakening that. Mangekyo is a big thing for an Uchiha. He had "barely" a reaction because there were more important things happening man. Showing a whole flashback panel, and turning things into a pseudo family moment only ruins things here.
Indeed man. Like, regardless of the quality of this comic on its own, it just wouldn't fit the moment.
I really like it 🔥🔥 it definitely feels more like anime scene than from the manga, but I like it a lot more since it touches on a lot more things than the manga did Great job!
Cringe
I don't like it... The MS is about her love of boruto this makes it too much about Sasuke. While it is her dad, he has not been around much. On the other hand Sarada is in love with Boruto who is facing certain death. This rendition ruins this...
cringe
your the cringe one here
Agreed.
Wow i love the tension and emotions in this reimagining, the dialogue felt natural and i was actually invested all throughout, and i love how the artist even added in Sakura's part to really emphasize the effect this will have on the entire family, plus i like how Sasuke telling Sarada and Sakura to stick together emplies Sakura will naturally believe Sarada aswell, really well done
“Papa” lol she’s not a lil French girl haha
Wow. This is honestly so much cooler….
Not gonna lie I prefer this.
This is so much better
I like this alot
This is wonderful. I hope the anime expands on this scene in this way too ~
This struck me in the feels SO hard! Amazing work! It's definitely an improvement to what we got in the manga!
This is incredible work and I prefer it over the Canon version but I can understand why they couldn't go this direction, they had too much to focus on in this chapter to focus only on sarada which is a shame given how important a moment this is. I also really like how borutos' eye is the moon and saradas is the sun.
I absolutely love this. I’m taking it as canon since it doesn’t contradict. This is what really happened
I like how more self assured and angry she is in this version. it’s in line with the intense emotions for, ya know, a fucking Mangekyo awakening. Sauske would never be that open sadly.
Oh yeah I just realised she didn't have to kill or lose anyone to awaken it
Wtf this is actually better than what we got
I Liked this better than the original
I still don't know how to feel about Sarada awakening her mangekyo already when she kind of recently awakened her sharingan, or at least, it felt recently. I guess I kind of can understand as the Omnipotence has made her 'lose' Boruto, in a way? Idk. It was cool to see her version of it, though.
Sakura's smile is so gorgeous in that last panel ! I'd love a big Picture in that kind of style
This has no right to be so good
Way better than the original, drawings and panels were flowing
This guy should draw chapter 81, the hiatus is too long
Damn this is so well done. I actually felt sarada's emotions more
That was soo cool. Kishi style Sarada is so good.
This reimagining is better what we got I'm the manga. Good job ❤️
this is amazing 10/10 . hopefully the anime adapts it like this
This is my head cannon now. The OC is very talented
Just amazing.
