Well. I have a disclaimer. I’m not the Naruto expert out here, so be ready.
(I almost died at this part because Boruto’s face looks so much like Naruto’s and Konohamaru’s face reminds me of Iruka-sensei)
Honestly, I like the show because I find it funny and the plot is pretty decent. I mean, it gets crazy sometimes like when they are chasing something or when that guy( what is name anyways? I should remember it by now..) messes up Sarada’s test. When that guy messed up Sarada’s test, I literally thought of Maury or Jerry Springer, but fortunately nobody was smacking each other at that moment or having a cat fight.( ” He is not the father!” or in Sarada’s case ” She is not the mother!” Whole Crowd: “Ohhhh!”)
The plot starts like Naruto with Boruto messing up the stone faces, but they wanted to show the difference between Naruto and Boruto, by showing that Boruto has friends and he is helping a friend out in the beginning. Then they had the long arc about the Class Rep, Nue and Hashrima Cell. And in the middle of that mess, Mitsuki shows up from the Sound Village( I don’t trust Ochiryumaru at all, Mitsuki is probably one of his experiment he wanted to try out.) Then everyone whines about ” Talk no Jutsu” when Boruto defeats the Nue inside of Class Rep( Accurate, though. But that happens in every Naruto Episode, Naruto tries to talk to his enemy during a fight and to get them to change and it barely works, but it worked for Boruto, I guess.) Then we got the Sarada arc( that still isn’t done, but it is in the middle), that I like. Full speed to the movie arc that I accidentally watched before the show.( I’ll watch it again. Don’t worry.)
Boruto is Naruto character-wise a little. Class Rep is basically Hinata, but she has more of presence than Hinata did in the Naruto series, Shikadai is like his father( because why not? Father like son, chip off the old block),Inojin is a little like his father, but he thinks Sai is “old-fashioned”, Iwabe is supposed to be Naruto’s childhood counterpart in a way, I guess( he failed the ninja exam and doesn’t study at all, but he’s actually good at ninjutsu.), Might Lee is almost like his dad, and Denki is a nerd, but there is nothing to compare him to, that could think of in the original Naruto series.

The similarities to Naruto are rampant, but the differences are also rampant. Boruto is different person than Naruto was. He has a family, he grew up differently than Naruto, and he is accepted in the community unlike Naruto was. So when people mention Boruto is kind of arrogant and his character annoys them, think of Konohamaru back in the old series. That is what I thought of when I thought of Boruto. Maybe I’m looking too hard back into the old series, and over analyzing it. But of course the premise of the show is the same, children studying become ninja in the same village in the Leaf Village, where the original series took place. Things have changed, but many things have stayed the same.
Also those pairings!!! Temari with Shikimaru! Yes! Naruto with Hinata! Yes, honey! Sai with Enko! Yes( she basically gets Sasuke, kind of). Sakura with Sasuke! Yeah! ( I guess, because their isn’t really anything wrong with that.)
Also, those career choices. Let me focus on Shino. Shino, my boy. Why is he teacher? The most anti-social boy in that show, is a teacher. Part of me is not believing it.
I don’t understand what Sai is doing, but is he a detective of some sorts?? I missed that or I forgot because it was so long ago. Someone let me know. (Good news, he has emotions now. )
My boy Shikimaru is Naruto’s right hand man. Alright. At least he is not Hokage, he would have been like “ What a drag.” I love Shikimaru, favorite character in Naruto.(sorry, every other character. Shikimaru is the best clearly.)
Ay!
I guess everyone else is ninja because maybe I missed something or they mostly just focus on the children.
Well, I’m glad in be in the Leaf Village one last time.( well not the last time, I have to rewatch all those Shippeden episodes because I don’t remember what is even happening at all. RIP Me. Y’all know.)
Those two, though…..
