lol the same character that literally figured out someone had feelings for Naruto moments before hugging the dude in front of them
then after hugging them, she decides to lie to him to try and toss Sasuke aside.
Kishi what were you thinking

Have to note, Sakura threw away their friendship. However, they did become friends again and we're seen together during the fin rounds of the Chunin Exams, right?
I actually like Naruto and Hinata, I just wish Hinata wasn't such a wallflower during the main series and that they got more scenes together. I always thought it would've been cool if they had more of a bad boy/good girl dynamic, like if they started hanging out in school more and Hiashi disapproved or something.
Similarly there is a part of me that likes Sakura and Sasuke, I just wish she wasn't such a doormat to him. He should be kissing her feet with all the shit he's put her through lol

Maybe we can have some character growth for all the K11 characters now in Boruto.
Like them saving genin teams in times of danger or being superiors. I wonder if Hinata even knows rotation since apparently she is now called a "Gentle Fist Master."
To bad we missed the part were they were teacher/sensei's as that got skipped and went to the next generation (Konohamaru's gen). Then again I wouldn't assume anything major happened when Kakashi reigned over Konoha, except maybe some clean up of shady underground shit and secret organizations, smuggling, criminal things and other stuff that the anbu dealt with but also had a play in as well.
Konoha wasn't rainbow and sun shines, they did some crappy shit too around the globe, even slaughtered small villages, deals with shady people (Danzou in particular) and experimented and captured children.
Lol at them trying to have the high morale ground against the hidden mist.

That would be totally out of character for Hiashi, he had a plan for both of them.
No, but seriously... That would be out of character for both Naruto and Hinata imo. Naruto is the kind of kid that would never get into a relationship because he doesn't know how to handle that, and while I don't like what they did with Hinata in the fillers I could totally see Kishimoto doing the same in the manga.
Also, I would've preferred Ino and Sasuke ending together at the end and maybe Sakura with Lee or even Sai. In my opinion the whole Sakura and Sasuke thinkg has never happened. Like, according to Kishi and Pierrot their first date lasted less than 5 minutes...

No one deserves either Sasuke or Sakura. As for Sasuke not kissing her feet, can you blame him? She's virtually never given any indication that Sasuke needed to put any real work in regards of romancing her or getting her forgiveness. She was ready since Day 1. So why would he start now...
I don't mean relationship, just them being friends. Hinata is dang near a princess and Naruto is like an urchin so you'd think there'd be some class differences there.
I can't see Sasuke with Ino at all lol. Has he ever even spoken to her?
Yeah that's true. I just wish there was a little more back and forth between them. Then again I bet Sasuke actually totally dotes on Sakura and Sarada behind closed doors lol

cool fan art
The thing with Boruto's hair is that it has so much stuff going on with it. This leads to animators who take their time on it doing it well on some occasions but a quick draw (or even the most common one) leaving the hair do to look ugly
eventually when he gets the head band he looks at least better. One of the main problems for me is that he has two separate head pieces in his hair with a line outline that divides it.
Edit: Only side angle I could find that doesn't show the top outline thing I was mentioning

Even worse than what I said.
You could actually said the same about Sakura, lol.
...Well, he did mention they (Naruto and Sakura) were his "precious nakama" (Translator note: nakama kind of means friends) but that relationship kind of looks pretty destructive if you ask me.
As for Naruto and Hinata, poor Hinata got stripped of her status by the time we saw her for the first time. Hiashi did say to Kurenai (knowing Hinata was outside the room) that she could do whatever she wanted with her because she was useless to him. I seriously doubt that he'd care she hanged out with Naruto.

Karin was perfect for Sasuke. She was the only one that matched his crazy and accepted him for he was.

But wasn't Karin unpopular in general?
I didn't like Karin, and I am not sure why. She just annoyed me. But I get the sense that Sarada who is really cool, is what Karin should have been?
Sarada is kinda stuck up. But she is also attentive. She is kinda speculative and manipulative. But she has her heart in the right place. She reminds me a lot of Karin- Which is why Saradas trip threw me off.
thats so weird though because they're both uzumaki lol.
I always wanted to see karin and naruto interact though.
They never did? Only thing I remember is Karin commenting on his chakra being warm or something I think

the only surviving Uzumaki's left is Naruto, Tsunade, Boruto and Hima with Karin being the most pure.

Was it stated that the Uzumakis were wiped out like the Uchihas or are we just assuming they were because we only know few of them?
Hashi's wife was Uzamaki so she has a closer connection. I don't think Kishi gave enough of shit to give her parents lol.
her grandfather was senju and her grandma was uzumaki
The country was wiped out and the few survivors scattered to different villages
yep that was all there was.
Her Uzumaki blood is even more diluted than Narutos.
All this pure blood line talk is very hyuga

I don't even think dilution works as we think it does in the manga
and example is that Minato had to use the death reaper seal to seal 50% of the Kyuubi in him and even after doing that the chakra was so much that he was numb and paralyzed
meanwhile Naruto as a baby was able to take the other half without the death reaper seal

The problem with abilities in this series is honestly, The have never explained how bloodline stuff works, and some personal jutsus that should have transferred to their kids never seemed to.
That and well, parents being thought up hundreds of chapters after the fact, with new abilities.

Ha, nobody had commented about this week episode.
I like what they are doing in the anime: The 5 kages are doing all the things possible so the 5 villages maintain their alliance but issues from the past keep coming back, which clearly shows nobody is as forgiving as Naruto.
The Nue arc, Uchiha Shin, the guys of the hidden mist, even Momoshiki are all threats from the past that keep coming back. I know that Boruto will eventually forgive the guys that kidnapped Denki because that's what the show is about, but I don't know how much Pierrot and Kishimoto will push this over the new (and boring) stuff they are doing in the manga.
Another great thing: Our damsel in distress in the series is a boy, not Sarada, not Sumire nor Chocho, a boy.
Another greatest thing: Hiashi's plan seems to be working.

I believe the bloodline stuff (Keikengenkai) is basically like the X-men but with clans: so you're from this clan, okay, you get the same power as the rest of the clan.
The families developed their own jutsu and they are very secretive about them but in the end that doesn't mean that other people cannot do those things (which is why the Sharingan is a big deal: they can copy everything that is not a keikengenkai). There's like a pool of techniques everyone know about and can do. Then there are the techniques developed by some families that everyone could potentially learn about but don't because families are very secretive. And finally you have the keikengenkai stuff that nobody outside a clan can do because you need to be born with that characteristic, which is why in general those born within certain families were used as weapons and the reason most of those families have been wiped out in the present.
at least that's my head cannon. Don't know if Kishimoto bothered to explain it.

For some reason I just assumed that room wasn't actually a "pool" so much as there was just an inch or two of water on the floor.
Did the characters have that chakra aura around their feet during those scenes? I don't remember seeing it and now I'm not at the computer to check.
EDIT: Yeah, nobody's feet are glowing blue. That room is a puddle, not a pool.

I don't think Boruto was on the lake/pond training with them
I agree this episode was indeed pretty boring
I thought it was a actual pool since this is the hidden mist so actually water training seems common
you just need to see Boruto in general to know he pics stuff quite easily
he was trying to do wind style in the last episode

Just getting into Sarada's arc (already read the manga tho)... this show gets what I loved about early Naruto so well.
And Sarada arc's closing credits.. :* (
So good.

Latest episode was quite good. The connection to Yagura seems obvious.
Scenes like that are why the series would be so much better if Boruto and Sarada were close childhood friends. It's so bizarre their parents went through so much together that they're barely acquainted at the start of the show.

They were aquatinted before the show, Sarada just probably chose not to hang out with him.

You're one of the few sane people here who found the episode good, so I hate to argue with you, but... Why would it be better if they were already close childhood friends? Just so we get more scenes like that? I like seeing their relationship build. I'm pretty sure they already knew each other before the academy btw.

OTP.
Love or hate him, can't deny Boruto is mature. I like small things like this.
He just have daddy issues.
