I haven’t watch anything related to naruto or anime in general in years but I decided to see what I have missed and omg you cannot convince me that the whole boruto-kawaki swapping and boruto leaving konoha is not similar to those naruto fanfics where he left konoha
And here are my evidence
Leaving bc they are the most hated person in konoha
Even though he’s the most hated there’s still a small group of ppl who believes in him
Leaving with a powerful sensei that will make him the strongest in the whole world
One or more of the ppl who still believe in him are girls
The outfit both sarada and boruto are wearing, you cannot tell me that’s not what you imagined when the author described the outfits, ESPECIALLY sarada’s
The edgy look of the protagonist like now they are serious
Coming back and immediately saving someone
The reason why they left is bc they were framed
Probably for murder
I know is not exactly the same but I’ve read many of those type of fanfics and maybe I was pretty young when I did but they are rooted in my memory, I was obsessed
Thank you for your attention

*meanwhile, in the Underworld*
Polites: Eurylochus, back so soon? And...there's the rest of your crew. And by the gods, what happened to you?
Eurylochus, who is sick of thematically-significant reprises: >:(

the way that this page in particular was adapted just OOZES studio trigger tbh. like I know everyone likes to joke about studio trigger being the horny studio, but the quick jerky animation direction is what truly makes their work recognizable to me. I can practically see Lio Fotia bleeding through the pixels in that 5 frame animation of Falin peeking through her fingers

Every time I revisit chapter 86 and the events right after the group talks Marcille down, I'm always struck by this bit here:
In particular, how similar it is to this:
The Winged Lion ate the same desire in both of them, more or less (I'm sure there are some nuances in both flavor and intent, but they are clearly similar things here). The Lion basically used this technique to kill Thistle, and for Marcille it was... not insignificant, but something she and her friends overcame without even fully realizing it was an obstacle.
I feel like this is another small piece of the story that shows how important support and love are - in navigating mental illness, in dealing with abuse or addiction, or in working through any other similar struggle that can be read into the Lion and his eating of desires.
It almost feels like Marcille was able to borrow the desires of her friends. She loves them and she trusts them, so even when she didn't have a desire to free herself from the Lion, the care they had for her well being still mattered to her.
It's the same thing later, with her hair.
She isn't able to notice the way her messy hair is making things harder, let alone do anything about it. But when Chilchuck points it out and then braids it back for her...
It's better. She likes it, things are easier now. Even though it isn't a desire she can feel for herself, it's not something that doesn't effect her. And because her friends care - because they know her well enough to notice the difference - she is given the chance to have a preference and to ask for their help.
We can obviously see some parallel ideas here with Mithrun and Kabru as well, but I'd also like to point out that Thistle gets this grace, too. Thistle, who had no one to help him up once he lost his will to resist, or to encourage him to find new desires once the Lion ate them all.
Thistle says he doesn't need anything, anymore...
But he is given an apology anyways.
It is not a kindness he desires. It is not a kindness he is able to ask for.
But it is a kindness that helps. It is a kindness that matters.
