I try not to pay attention to the Boruto manga/anime unless there’s a cute Uchiha family cameo, but I will literally LOSE it if anything happens to Sasuke. This series frustrates me to no end because they did Sasuke and Naruto so dirty.

Don’t even get me started on this Otsutsuki thing which has basically sidelined Sarada lmao. I might be in the minority here but other than fleshing out the shinobi families, I wish this series never existed.

They could have just drawn all the novels and that would’ve been fine with me. Like how did we even get to this point where we’re dealing with literal gods/aliens.

currently thinkin about how menma from naruto rtn movie is literally sns lovechild🎀

and he's way better looking than 'canon' couples fugly ass kids in boruto!!

[liz-thinks-too-much]

Can't blame Naruto for looking like that in Boruto, if I had to pretend to be straight I'd also look like shit

[sassykinzonline]

anyways lets talk about the actual real problem with boruto aka the massive retcon and plothole that is the heterosexual marriages.

in the original manga its already established that iruka + itachi serve as the platonic foundation of sasunaru: the imperfection of these important bonds highlight the necessity of both boys to each other. iruka tries to accept despite inhumanity and inability to contribute to strength. itachi emphasizes weakness and dehumanizes, but accepts regardless. this is the key significance in the confessions: they make explicit reference to unconditional observation of strength and humanity to each other. these imperfect platonic foundations serve as the lifeline that allows for further "perfect" love to be explored and understood.

so it doesnt make sense that in boruto with 0 explanation whatsoever (this is even accounting for the light novels), sasunaru becomes the "platform" for the relationship for the suddenly more important relationships with the wives. why? if you have an exclusively perfect relationship, youre not gonna look for another. moreover, ideas like "you acknowledged me more than anyone else" and "i cant lose you" and "you alone make me feel less alone" and "only you make my life worth living, only you bring me light" and "you are my prayer and my hope for the future" are randomly attributed to women who were explicitly told the opposite. in those same light novels, sasunaru becomes a relationship exclusively of conflict/desire for space and distance, but in the boruto manga they cant stay away from each other while scorning their wives.

total actual clusterfuck, the character assassination of sasuke and naruto by that point is entirely secondary and becomes borderline understandable when you consider key values and themes are totally abandoned to give way to these couplings.

Fandom: Where are Sakura and Kakashi? They haven’t been seen in the Boruto Manga in ages.

My thought process:

[bananaman-mp3]

"why are you watching boruto" im cherry picking for the divorce headcanon and i want to get an accurate idea of what the father child dynamics between naruto and sarada sasuke and boruto are.

[bimgtt]

True Uchiha clan not that bulshite shown in the Boruto series so called fake Uchiha pathetic historically ignorant family( Sakura and Sarada who treat clan crest some sort of ornaments or achievements or trophy to brag about or show off for them without knowing its struggle and past history and how you get to wear it) or how the story tries to revise Uchiha tragedy and the oppression and racism against the Uchiha collectively.

[lunaneko14]

I’m gonna say it….

HIMAWARI WOULDVE SAVED NEJI!

So much for Sakura being relevant again.

[alwayssasuke]

Why Naruto would ever crave (and STILL does) the acceptance and praise of a village who has historically operated in ways that led to the ACTUAL root of Sasuke’s pain is the strangest and most hypocritical thing to me

[antisasukeretsudenantisasusaku]

Sasusaku fans and their denial:

@microvan =🤡

If Sakura does not know something so basic and so obvious as the fact that Sasuke does not need glasses,she for sure does not know the truth about Uchiha genocide and Sasuke’s inner turmoil what led to him repeating Itachi’s fate.

The fuck you mean “Sakura is unsure if Sasuke needs glasses”?

Doesn’t this bitch see that Sasuke never wears glasses in everyday life?

Oh,right—she does not because Sasuke abandoned her for 12 years!

[requirings]

sakura and sasuke 40y/o

i like them together (with lots of caveats) but like. they definitely get divorced lmao

[sasucaty]

"fuck konohars" we all say in unison.

[0ynes]

I will die on the SNS hill

Sasuke knowing how it feels to be asked that question

And knowing exactly what to answer. Answering with a word he doesn't have to explain to Naruto what it means, the same way Naruto doesn't have to explain what "friend" means to him. Naruto is Sasuke's usuratonkachi, his one and only friend, with who Sasuke shares his pain, who saved Sasuke.

At this point Sasuke asks this because he wants to hear the answer. The way people just like hearing "I love you", Sasuke just wants to hear Naruto say he is his friend, because of the meaning Naruto gives to this word.

Golden hour will always be SNS aesthetic

At this point, I think Naruto sits on the floor because he knows Sasuke will offer his hand to help him get up.

See how the answer to that "what are you" question is still not "your brother"? This two have yet to adress each other as "brother", the same way Sasuke did with Itachi.

Obviously, anything BORUTO related is dismissed by me and this game is just redoing the final chapters of NARUTO but reversed and not as good, nothing new here. Also they know which characters pay the bills lmao. But it's nice to recognize Naruto and Sasuke's characters, seeing them act like themselves and see their real dynamic again.

[chhaiya-chhaiya]

Sasuke's flat hair is very important and symbolic in the context of boruto as it symbolizes that much like the hair, his character has also been flattened and so much flattened in fact that even him becoming a tree gives him more dimension than the cardboard cutout that his normal character in boruto is.

[japplejottomjeans]

u ever catch me watching boruto its for them and them alone

[sassykinzonline]

who wants to get annoyed?
