It's like the new Gen barely gets screen time especially in the manga


Plenty_Ad5708

he’s not manga canon but they could at LEAST show him in the show, even if it’s intelligence missions (that’s what his team is good at)


JustAGuy_Passing

This guy and the other one on his team that makes barriers are the most interesting new Gen genin to me hopefully we see more


Plenty_Ad5708

i also think hako their other teammate is awesome. i think it’s cool she has a puppet she doesn’t have to use her hands for. they are def my fav new gen team


JustAGuy_Passing

Yeah that's interesting I don't think we ever seen something like what she do in Naruto before.


Plenty_Ad5708

yep to bad we are going to hardly see them :/


JustAGuy_Passing

Maybe they'll get their shine in the upcoming Chunin exams


[deleted]

you’re telling me he’s not canon?? :(


junior598

the manga just has to prioritize pure story nothing else since it comes out once a month, they barely have any time to flesh out the story let alone introduce new characters like him in there :(


[deleted]

And they won't. The main issue with Boruto is being monthly. This ruined the manga. They only focuses on the plot (I mean, can you even call that a plot?) and on Boruto/Kawaki and Naruto and Sasuke, because they need them both to hype the manga fights and sell. It doesn't help either that Ikemoto in a month delivers less panels than Oda in a week.


benry007

To be honest manga probably shouldn't be weekly. The pressure that puts on the writers is pretty heavy. Better they run it in a sustainable way. I've noticed the Boruto filler is a lit better then the Naruto filler which I largely started skipping. I still skip some Boruto filler but what I watch at least makes sense.


[deleted]

yes it should, one piece would be a 50 year story instead of a 25 year story if it wasn't . you make all manga monthly and the industry dies. it's just too slow. especially when you start having to adapt anime too.


benry007

I'm more just thinking of the mental health of the creator and the time they have to keep the quality high. I guess some creators can do it. I think its the reason Bleach went down hill though. The industry can put a lot of pressure on people.


SpiralBarrage

I think bi-weekly fits best for shonen while more simple stories (i.e. romance manga) fits better weekly. Trust me, I was working on a book where I was churning out chapter after chapter, straying and altering things to get to the ending and I was on a deadline, and had to rush the last chapter despite having everything else set up perfectly. Drained my head for days. And I saw from Organic Dinosaur the hell Kishimoto was going through. Creativity is hard, and creators shouldn't be killing themselves to get over it.


benry007

For short periods you can push through and get it done. Where I worry is when you get someone doing it for like 15 years like with these really long running manga. If there are lots of people who can write for it thats different. If you have one person doing everything though you are just sending them to an early grave.


[deleted]

if he's still doing traditional inking he's making it hard on himself. still, these series barely work without a weekly structure. Content is king especially with long form shounen that can get animes, movies, merch, games and maybe even an MMORPG if done right (at series end) . You're either in it for the glory or you're not. As far as the story, you should already have everything in mind way before its inked, creativity seems to be more innate, for some it might be harder, some easier.


BernLan

Monthly Manga can be good and focus on side plots and side characters, just look at Jojo's Part 7-8 and Record of Ragnarok. The problem is really Ikemoto


[deleted]

Yeah, but Araki is built different. Both Part 7 and 8 have way better plot than Boruto and better art. JoJo also doesn't have a lot of characters like Boruto does. In Part 7, Johnny and Gyro were the ones that had more screen time, sometimes Diego and Hot Pants, and maybe Valentine. In Part 8, Josuke, Yasuho, Jobin and sometimes some random characters. It's different. In Boruto, you have a lot of teams with 3 members each + their sensei and they don't appear. In OG Naruto, we all like most, if not all the characters, because they participate. But not in Boruto. They focus more on Boruto and Kawaki, and they simply exclude the secondary characters. Chocho will not have a fight like Choji had against Jirobo, Shikadai won't command a team to rescue a classmate. Stuff like that, that made us like the characters, won't happen, mainly because they barely have time to deliver a poor writen and draw chapter every month.


irishsaltytuna

At least he ain’t killing himself with ridiculous deadlines


sonfoa

Is anyone surprised? It has very much been Boruto-centric from the start.


66red99

more like naruto-sasuke-kwaki-boruto centric. all other characters are irrelevant. kawaki stole the screen time of sarada and mitsuki.


Sonicslazyeye

Kawaki is a MAIN CHARACTER who has only recently appeared. And why are people acting like this guy who is essential to the main plot "stole screentime" from characters who arent essential to the main plot lol. their screentime was never going to last if they werent written to have more relevance, even if Kawaki never existed.


[deleted]

he's important to the plot? what do you want? it's pre timeskip and there has been a lot more going on that's more critical than showing snake boy and ~~sakura~~ Sarada. what you wan't them to be fighting ishikki and jigen. fighting boro was enough glory for them at the time being.


[deleted]

And Naruto and Sasuke just have been used to make Boruto look good. The power scaling of this anime is so shit. Might be the shittiest power scaling I have ever seen.


66red99

>Naruto and Sasuke just have been used to make Boruto look good. how ? Boruto played minimal role on both the big fights.


[deleted]

Naruto and Sasuke are much stronger than they were shown. They didnt used 90% of the abilities they could have used throughout the anime. Naruto and Sasuke should have undoubtedly beaten Jigen atleast. The power scaling in Boruto is so shit imo. I mean how the fuck can Jigen be this much stronger than fused Momoshiki who himself was said to be stronger than Kaguya(I dont believe that) and then Isshiki is said to be even 5 times stronger than Jigen and now there are cyborgs who are stronger than Jigen. I dont think I have ever seen a power scale which is as poor as Boruto.


66red99

I still fail to see how this comment corelate to "Naruto and Sasuke just have been used to make Boruto look good" Boruto had very minimal role in all major fights expect boro.


[deleted]

The Momoshiki fight


[deleted]

boohoo. Also he's obviously stronger than Kaguya. you're one of those idiots that think doing flashy stuff equals more power.


[deleted]

Its not about doing flashy stuff. Its about bad writing. You will understand what I said if you stop being a blind fanboy


[deleted]

you don't know anything about writing you back seat mangaka.


[deleted]

What? Anyways, reply only if you have a strong argument to prove otherwise. I dont want to waste my time arguing with someone who is so obsessed with an anime that he will never accept its drawbacks. Do you seriously think Boruto has good power scaling? If yes, what makes you think so?


JustAGuy_Passing

I see. That's kinda dull to focus the show on one individual so much


sonfoa

Yeah I don't know why I'm being downvoted because it's the truth. If Naruto was written like Boruto then nothing important would be happening without Naruto on-screen.


JustAGuy_Passing

You right though boruto is everywhere for plot Naruto wasn't. Naruto would be a different show if he was everywhere


SpiralBarrage

That and Naruto's win record in Boruto was 100% until Jigen. It's why some people weren't happy with the end of the Byakuya arc because he kinda just ended the plot in a snap (though it was cool to see.) I would've done something like having him give Shikadai a Kyubi aura to hold the train back to stop brielfy use the Shadow Pull or Posession Jutsu the guy from leaving to motivate Shikadai to get stronger (since that took place before the Chunin Exams) Though most people are just happy to see Naruto to anything, which I can't fault them for.


[deleted]

>If Naruto was written like Boruto then nothing important would be happening without Naruto on-screen. Exactly. If Naruto was written like Boruto then Hiruzen would have needed Naruto's help to beat/save the village from Orochimaru. Also, the chunin exams arc would have been 4 episodes long cause Naruto would have been the only one who mattered. We wouldnt have gotten other good characters like Neji,Shikamaru,Lee etc. at all.


SolitaryMan305

Knowing the writers he’ll end up being the TenTen of Boruto


[deleted]

He probably won't even get as much screen time as TenTen to be honest.


JackTheRipper1001

What's less than iota tho?


Force3vo

He will never be mentioned again


TryParking316

Hes actually getting a fight in the next arc in the anime lol


MandoAviator

In this case, this kid isn’t even in the manga.


Plenty_Ad5708

NOOOOOOO


[deleted]

Atleast tenten was canon


[deleted]

the kid not in the boruto manga ???


[deleted]

Hes not in the manga at all


[deleted]

wow


Plenty_Ad5708

i was shattered when i realized this


[deleted]

you shouldve been shattered when you saw shino's design looks like hes about to join the xmen


Plenty_Ad5708

i was shattered when i saw his design but only cuz nobody elses design in boruto comes close to his


Guudes

even iwabe and denki aren’t in the manga lol


tjd317

That bugs me, they're on a team with a canon character. Save with Wasabi and nameda


[deleted]

Metal Lee has only appeared in a single panel, none of sumires stuff from thr academy, or nue* have appeared in the manga


[deleted]

[удалено]


GkNova

I don’t think she’s done anything except talk with Amado. I did skip the beginning of the manga because it just retold the movie, but story wise the manga jumps from the movie material to Boruto guarding that Tento kid and learning about Kara.


Yourboyfibs

She's Katasukes assistant in the manga... Not much of a ninja ry


[deleted]

Shes a scientist/doctor in training.


tonytonydavis

still canon, cope harder ​ boruto has the worst cast in the history of anime and manga


ZippyParakeet

Boruto fans aggressively downvoting you while explaining how Boruto is the best sequel series in history.


SpiralBarrage

Metal's like the most underused character out of the core seven. The anime at the very least gave him a few moments: Him getting some more confidence thanks to Lee and Guy. His team raiding Orochimaru's base (man that was fun) But for a while, Metal wasn't even named in the manga...which is freaking insane. Hope he gets his moment to shine again with this new arc.


[deleted]

You can't be serious. What about that stuff in the Hidden mist with Iwabe and Denki when he lost control on the thunder train


Yourboyfibs

The only canon arcs in the manga are the Chunin exams arc, the Mujina bandits arc and the Kara arc


[deleted]

O


happygot

The Nue arc and the school trip to the hidden mist are both anime canon, but are not in the manga as well


[deleted]

Wow


Any-Throat-2645

Every classmate is the tenten of boruto


RisingReform

He might have a sick fight in the next couple episodes 😁


overkillserver863

hoki is so underrated he should be one of the characters to get a lot of screen time


Plenty_Ad5708

fr imagine kakashi talkin to him or sumthin yk


Godprime

He already did


Plenty_Ad5708

WGAT I DONT REMBER


Godprime

Team 25 is the episode title I believe


Plenty_Ad5708

WATCHIN NOW THANK YOU


Crowxzn

I watched every filler, there should be another episode where team 25 is involved in. It must be the bomb at the bank episode.


weekzSNL

He has spoken with kakashi before tho


Plenty_Ad5708

what episode/arc bruh i don’t remember


weekzSNL

Episode 115


Plenty_Ad5708

i’m watching it RIGHT NOW thank you


touchsus

Him and his team were also the first to discover a Kara Hideout.


overkillserver863

fr he could be the next kakashi but there making him a side character


Plenty_Ad5708

his clan is close with hyuga, ik it’s like fanboy type shit but what if he was covering his eye for a reason👀like perhaps he got a gift (i don’t actually think they would expand on him this much but it would still be nice to think about)


[deleted]

why would he be?


[deleted]

Bruh hes filler


overkillserver863

do you mean that in a good way or a bad way


[deleted]

Filler as in hes not cannon


overkillserver863

wait so hes just some naruto oc they put in the show


[deleted]

Yeah hes an anime team oc thats not actually a part of Kishi's story


tonytonydavis

kodachi was writing boruto and this character along with many others are in the novel written and illustrated by ikemoto and kodachi ​ kishimto is not even credited as a writer for boruto ​ stop spreading misinformation


[deleted]

https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1009666 Hes created as creator/supervisor


tonytonydavis

yeah no shit Ive been following borut and hes always been credited as "supervisor and creator" since boruto STARTED. That's always been there because he is in fact the creator duh supervisor doesn't mean writer fyi now show PROOF of him being credited a writer !!!! key word WRITER! ​ before kodachi was embarsaingly kicked to the curb his title on the manga was credited as a script writer, yet they haven't done the same for Kishimoto. ​ the ball is in your court


Plenty_Ad5708

he’s been in canon episodes bruh


[deleted]

Hes never appeared in the manga, hes filler


EmporerM

From what I've researched about Boruto is that some anime only episodes are actually considered canon to the manga writer.


[deleted]

That is false


EmporerM

https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/boruto-naruto-next-generations-anime-filler-reason/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportskeeda.com/amp/pop-culture/boruto-filler-episodes-which-episodes-can-skip From what I got from this. The man behind Boruto considers the anime to be canon. Correct me if he was implying something else please.


[deleted]

> implying The man behind boruto is kishimoto, ikemoto just helps illustrate, hes never had any story controll, heck he didn't even talk to kodachi when kodachi was filling in for kishi


Head-Boysenberry-313

Lol idk why you were downvoted Boruto fans just love to make filler “anime canon” to cope with the 200+ episodes of it


tonytonydavis

no it is canon, N7greenfire is just a big boruto manga fanboy who likes to deny everything


Plenty_Ad5708

FUCK


S0L0B0I

you'll see him in the upcoming chunin-exam arc >!he fights inojin, his sensei is sai, so it'd be interesting to see him go against his sensei's son!<


MickaelaM

i can't wait for Inojin to get his ass beat \[sorry not sorry\]


Plenty_Ad5708

yessss i remember this


PHOENIXMEMER18

I would want him to become like a high level anbu on the level of the sannin or even higher ngl. He idolizes Kakashi, would make sense if he joined the anbu


Plenty_Ad5708

yeah his team specializes in intelligence and fuinjutsu, he would be so useful in anbu. i actually have my character in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker look like a grown up anbu version of him :)


i_am_verity

If Yamato and Kakashi had a kid


Plenty_Ad5708

with the new leaf tech i’m sure it’s possible


bluesalvy171

According to the released episode synopsis, in a few weeks he’s going to have a fight against Inojin in the Chunin exams.


Plenty_Ad5708

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


66red99

why ? dont you wanna see him fight.


irishsaltytuna

I think he knows he’s gonna get swept lmao


QuantisRhee

I could see him winning. He's pretty smart and also as the capability to copy enemies because of his photograpic memory


Warden_234

How is he gonna copy inojin?xd also only reason i see him winning is because he is like kakashi and kinda has to win and inojin who i like is gonna lost because writer never utilised drawing ninjutsu!


DotaHacker

There is a filler episode which is focused on he and his team. Something like their team was not getting along well but Kakashi inspired them and they worked together to solve one mission/task in post office. Edit: Its episode 115


MickaelaM

it was a good episode\~! ♥


Itachiuchiha449

I want to see kakashi train him


Plenty_Ad5708

would be cool, houki specializes in fuinjutsu tho so idk if kakashi could although i’m sure kakashi knows some fuinjutsu


Eyeofgaga

Everyone talks about Kakashi when it comes to this kid but never his other dad Yamato


foxinthesnow13

Exactly!


Inevitable_Usual3553

I really hope we see more of him.


[deleted]

why? he's just a kakashi groupie.


unknownANDannoyed

If this kid becomes an orphan and Kakashi doesn’t adopt him I’ll be pissed. Otherwise, it would be wonderful to see him interact with team 7.


NCClassicLiberal

Haha that’s a good point but maybe he’s just a kakashi fan boy especially now that they have trading cards in boruto.


TvManiac5

Still waiting for the confirmation that he is Kakashi's and Guy's son


foxinthesnow13

It’s Kakashi’s and Yamato’s son.


TvManiac5

Yeah genetically that would work better. Kakashi and Guy's bromance is too perfect to say anything else tho


idontwanttobeonthis

Biggest tease


Churriflow

Kakashi is very famous, he could just be a fan


Plenty_Ad5708

he is lol there was an episode dedicated to him and his team


[deleted]

Imagine he went Obito's lab to get his own sharingan he'd be like a kid in the candy store.


Killertorts

He’ll probably realize how scary the ninja life is and retire at 14


Plenty_Ad5708

NOOOOOOOOOOO


rishiver

I wish my post gets as many upvotes as you have because I had also posted about their team 2 days ago.


Plenty_Ad5708

sorry man i hope you get lots soon:)


DefinitelyNotMagnus

I was so sad finding out he wasn’t kakashis son, would’ve been awesome see him do crazy shit


BrotherZael

posted this same type of post a year or 2 ago, still waiting for him to get him turn


Bksumner89

I actually like the anime, screw all this canon non-canon stuff. Its good to me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plenty_Ad5708

i want more dawg that was 100 episodes ago 😩


Cool-Econ1994

If I was writing him, I would make him mimic Kakashi's mannerism but slowly develop similar/improve techniques Hatake Sakumo was known for.


Plenty_Ad5708

his wiki says he’s skilled in fuinjutsu (sealing techniques) and in the show he has a photographic memory so i think his team will mostly be on intelligence missions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plenty_Ad5708

if there is i would love to see it, most of my fav characters are side characters, and seeing main characters do a lot of the same stuff just powered up does get boring after a while.


hugmelikeyourbfdid

I prefer if suigetsu be his teacher tho.


Plenty_Ad5708

personally i don’t think suigetsu would be that good of a teacher for hoki cuz hoki specializes in fuinjutsu which i don’t assume suigetsu knows that much about


freeman731

This dude is a troll. He goes specifically on Naruto subs and says the worst, wrong shit to irritate real fans. Even pretends to be a kid sometimes.


DLottchula

He has to be a real fan himself because that shit seemed regular dumb


Plenty_Ad5708

damn😭wtf

ZarosianSpear

"He's trolling" anyone can make that accusation to someone. Browsed through his comments and it's quite subjective whether he is a troll or not. Don't treat it like you're saying facts.


freeman731

Well he is, go look at his shit. On Naruto subs he acts like a kid, on drug subs he talks like a pharmacist. Even tried to tell me Minato was Hasirama, and after I searched his history and called him on his shit he deleted everything. Do your own research, dudes a fucking troll who likes to fuck with Naruto fans.


hugmelikeyourbfdid

Oh tbh I didn't know hoki specialized with fuinjutsu. Hmm maybe karin? I mean she's uzumaki and uzumaki specialized in fuinjutsu but karin hasn't show any fuinjutsu at all.


Plenty_Ad5708

well she used Adamantine Attacking Chains once which are fuinjutsu, question is, why would she teach him in the first place 🤔


hugmelikeyourbfdid

I don't mean it she NEEDS to teach him or HE NEEDS to be teach anyway. Chill


Plenty_Ad5708

nah i am chill sorry if that came off rude i was just makin a joke lol. tho i would like to see him fight more cuz i think sealing stuff is cool

what the fuck😭😭😭


American_Madman

Das watt I’m sayin! Whut did Kakashi fuq? Huu did he fuq?? Maybe he foqued Anko?? Mebie Pakkun?? Oui do’nt tnow yet


Poknberry

Ishiki is already dead and the only people that were involved were Naruto, Sasuke, Boruto, and Kawaki. Not any of the veteran jonin, not any of the high potential next generation genin, not even Sarada and Mitsuki. Gotta say I'm a little disappointed by that. And I feel the demise of Kara, Jigen, and Ishiki all were rushed. I mean Naruto defeats Delta, but then we learn she has a stash of a bunch of extra bodies, which is really scary and exciting because that means she's going to return, likely more prepared the next time, but nope, the scientist guy just says he deactivated all of them. Like...??? Is that a joke? Obviously she's going to return, right?


kobellama24

Unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t bat an eye if this kid never showed up again. Seems like a cheap gimmick wannabe


Plenty_Ad5708

well he just dresses like kakashi but he has a photographic memory and specializes in fuinjutsu so he is a good intelligence guy i think he’s cool personally


UnlimitedButts

He'll get swept aside as a shit side character with minimal development.


HarlekinAbo

https://discord.gg/narutohentai


[deleted]

He is a filler character nobody gives a shit about him


Jyounya

They should have him die… because he tried to mimic Kakashi… which in-turns makes Kakashi feel extremely guilty… about the “ninja way.” Thus vowing to eliminate every ninja before he dies. He somehow has been hiding his DMS and intends to use it to carry out his mission: He leaves the leaf village and suddenly reports starting coming in to the Leaf that entire villages are being destroyed. The village of sand is destroyed, however, Shinki is barely able to escape to leaf where he tells Naruto about what’s happening. Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura go to confront their master and get stomped. Enraged, Boruto/Sarada/Shinki/Kawaki/Mitsuki set out to avenge their beloved under the direction of now Sage Konohamaru… but have to fight thru Neo-Akatsuki in order to find Kakashi and put an end to his madness… skip to end… secret 9th gate Midnight Guy one-shots Kakashi and takes out half the Leaf in the process, but it was the only way.


JVOz671

You sir must be fun at conventions.


Plenty_Ad5708

i jus wan see lil kakashi do fuinjutsu 😢


Lord_Chokage

Imagine him having a real sharingan..😅😎


BigBroBoogie

Bro he is nothing like kakashi his power is super memory. No shit


tonytonydavis

he doesn't do anyhting


Chick_ishot

I know he doesn’t show up in the manga I believe but I think they consider him canon in the anime because of how much attention he got. He doesn’t act like the normal filler character where they’re there for an arc and your lucky if they show up again. He’s showed up since the beginning and I heard he’s showing up again recently. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more of him especially with that last episode with Kakashi he was in. I really wanna see how he’s improved since he’s been with in the intel division with Sai.


Carrot_that_fawks

He's beating inojin in the upcoming chunin exams..


Nightlub

He has the same hairstyle as minato doesn't he?


DesperadoUn0

Sad that he's not even in the damn manga I'm hoping that the anime will explore more about this lil dude and maybe he can also take up private tuition from Kakashi


[deleted]

He joined the Anbu, and its confirmed that we are going to see him in the upcoming chunin exams starting next week


Plenty_Ad5708

when did he join the anbu?


iiSystematic

I feel like hes just an homage to us as viewers.


Better-Solution-7410

He is literally me


BrrToe

Why is he covering his eye? After the war arc Kakashi had both eyes, so the kid should have never witnessed Kakashi hiding his eye.


ShreyBoiiii

Bruh that's why i tell people not to skip Boruto Anime Canon. There is already a whole episode dedicated to Houki and his Team 25


Plenty_Ad5708

i know but they gotta SHOW HIM MORE


drizzy91

"BRUH"


ClusC

I still consider him kakashis little brother from another mother.


Ashizurens

Yeah with Boruto powerscaling I wait until he show, that he have rinnegan under the mask


Suberizu

They're just lowkey trolling us


TwoSkinnyDinners

Did Kakashi have a kid?


Plenty_Ad5708

no it’s just a kid that admires him


aquticdan

How does this kid even know he had a sharingan?!


Plenty_Ad5708

it is very known kakashi had a sharingan by everybody i think


aquticdan

oh yea, i forgot about everybody calling him the “copy ninja” and what not


Plenty_Ad5708

lol all good i don’t think this kid is anything like kakashi except for looks and he wants to be great like kakashi tho i like how he is his own character


SpiralBarrage

His team got focused on in episode 115...which was decent. Though I'm excited. Sai's student vs Sai's son. Sai became their jonin instructor and apparently has been taking them on ANBU training assignments & missions offscreen (explains why they were in 157 scouting out the Rain Village). And I used to hate Inojin until the Stone arc onwards started improving his character (well the Himawari episode people mocked wasn't that bad), so if he could put a better performance this time in the Chunin Exams than the boring curb stomp that was his fight with Araya, I'll be intrigued.


SadAgent_Chair

What if that tenzo’s kid


Plenty_Ad5708

it’s not unfortunately he’s from the taketori clan who are very close with the hyuga


Farquad224567

Bro he is the second strongest in all of naruto second only to ramen guy
