Boruto is a Gay Manga! Is that so hard to admit???
So, today I emailed one of the most prominent YouTube Naruto/Boruto commentators an email with the subject line: "Boruto is Gay Manga! Is that so hard to admit?"
Now, I admitted in my email that my subject line is clickbait, and I didn't go into intensive well-supported detail. However, I did say, "Why do you keep ignoring Mitsuki's (queer) feelings for Boruto?"
The interesting thing about this content creator, and many other individuals, is that he wants Boruto x Sarada to be endgame. However, he doesn't want this because he likes the pairing. He wants this because he actually wanted Naruto x Sasuke to happen, and this is the next closet thing.
Which is crazy right? It's crazy that so many people wanted Naruto x Sasuke to be together. However, I'm sure Kishimoto knows that these same men would swear off Naruto forever, if the main character was revealed to be queer.
So, then you end up with Boruto x Sarada, where Sarada is not Boruto's equal. No, in a patriarchal society she is not Boruto's equal, she is instead the BALL for which men choose to play with and measure their own masculinity.
Don't believe me? Sarada is the last Uchiha, and in the first chapter, she (an Uchiha) had to be rescued by a no name male ninja that we literally never hear about again.
Sarada's anime design looks like this pre-time skip:
And this post-time skip:
I want to take the time to remind all of you that this is a character design of a 12 year old girl and a 16 year old girl. Both of which are under age, any sexualization of the two is pedaphillic in nature.
Men's sexualization of children goes into their rampant and obsessive need for control at all costs, but I digress.
You know who thinks this character design is awesome and doesn't question anything about it, despite the fact that both outfits are completely impractical for an active duty shinobi? Men.
You know who thinks this character design is disgusting and a complete miss? Women.
Someone who should have been positioned as an equal to the main character in Boruto has become nothing more than an object of men's perverted fantasies both heteronormatively and homoerotically.
What do I mean by homoerotically? Remember, the real reason that people want Boruto and Sarada to be end game is not because they think these two have a ton of chemistry. Sarada is a level 10,000 nag that could bring her mother to shame, and men hate being nagged.
The real reason men want Boruto x Sarada to happen is because their pairing is the realization of Naruto x Sasuke.
I, also, need you to realize that a large part of Sarada's character development is the fact that she has a crush on Boruto. In contrast, as far as we know so far, Boruto has a crush on nobody.
Which highlights this underlying ideal that many women have realized for a long time. Men DON'T like women.
I don't care where you go in the world. An overwhelming number of men don't like women. I'm not even convinced that many men enjoy having sex with women, because let me tell you something... Having sex with the only goal being to climax is the least enjoyable sex that anyone can experience. Orgasming becomes boring after a while. Try to enjoy the ride.
Yet, climaxing is often the sole frame through which men see sex and sexual completion, while completing discarding the pleasure of women. How do I know, because only 50-70% of women have orgasmed from heterosexual encounters. I imagine that number is 100% for men who have orgasmed while having sex with a woman at some point (probably most points) in their lives.
Men are taught from a very early age and are socially conditioned to NOT like women. Even within the Naruto series this is evident.
I mean think about it, the woman that Naruto had the most chemistry with (and probably should have ended up with) was a flat-chested nag who didn't appreciate Naruto until he became strong. It's giving incel, red-pill mindset.
Now, who was that woman? Sakura.
Who was she based on? Kishimoto's wife.
Shocking right? Many of you may have had no idea that Sakura is based on Kishimoto's wife. Now, do I think Kishimoto secretly hates his wife? No, but that's irrelevant.
Yes, Sakura is based on Kishimoto's wife, and Kishimoto wrote a female character that men HATE!!! Sakura is undeniably the most hated character in all of Naruto (male or female). I wouldn't be surprised if she is the most hated female character in all of anime.
Sakura is, also, the strongest woman in the entire show (next to Kaguya) and yet, she always needs to be saved. She is stopped and under minded constantly by the most miniscule thing, and then she needs to be saved by Naruto, Sasuke or Kakashi like clock work. Why, because they need their hero moment, and women are but an object. Women are the ball, and the enemy is the opposing team.
Here's the thing: You all need to understand that according to the light novels, under Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura is the most powerful shinobi (male or female) in the entire Naruto Universe (pre-Boruto). However, you wouldn't know that from watching the anime or reading the manga.
Then who is the most beloved female character in Naruto, the one that Naruto ends up marrying and having two super powerful children with? The woman who has large breasts, always cheers for Naruto despite him not knowing she exists, always needs to be saved, and largely keeps her mouth shut: Hinata.
When you really think about it, the entire Naruto series is about Naruto (a loser) chasing after Sasuke who hates him, but what does Sasuke represent? Sasuke represents the pinnacle of athleticism, skill, sexiness, cleverness, fame, and aloofness that a man could ever dream of having. When Naruto chases after Sasuke, he's chasing the idea of masculinity itself. In Naruto's adulthood, he has a more emotionally intimate relationship with Sasuke then he does with any woman: Hinata or Sakura. Naruto surrounds himself with men. He's always around men: Shikamaru, Konohamaru, Sai, and Kakashi. He solely asks for the opinions of men when it comes to major decisions that effect the fact of the entire Leaf Village and World.
The whole Naruto series is a celebration of men at the expense of women. These men have hard-ons for each other.
Now, some might say that it's not sexual, but it is! How do we know that, because Kishimoto created Boruto x Sarada to be endgame.
He is approaching the fulfillment of a homoerotic relationship in a societally correct way, when the truth is that he (and all men) want to skip the middle man and have Naruto and Sasuke be together. Yet, at the same time, none of these men want to be gay and be giant fans of something that is gay. Why, because being a fan of something gay makes straight men feel gay, and a man is not supposed to be gay in a patriarchal society.
I watched a whole video where a straight man talked about watching a gay male anime, and it made him wonder for a second if he was gay, simply because he thought it was a good show. Once again, I digress.
In a patriarchal society, a man is supposed to gain the respect and admiration of other men all while subjecting, conquering and controlling women. Once again, to reiterate, women are the ball. Women have no thoughts, feelings, autonomy, or rights? Women are not human. After all, why would a ball represent anything other than being a tool of the sport used for the purpose of scoring points?
The Naruto series is a mirror reflection of society, and how men value men, men want men, men desire men, and (straight) men don't give a damn about women. Of course, some do, but many men don't. Women are nothing more than trophies to be shown off and touted around.
All that matters is the male gaze. We see this all the time.
Do you know who likes 6 ft tall men, with 6 pack abs, 6 pairs of shoes, who make 6 figures? The giga-Chads if you will. I'm going to give you a hint: It's not women.
Men lust over this stuff, men get hard over this stuff, they salivate over this stuff, and obsessive over creating the perfect male body either for themselves, someone else, or a fictional character. I need you all to realize that ALL of those Marvel action shots of Chris Evan's and Robert Downey Jr's bulging muscles, and Chris Hemsworth's nakedness are shots written for men by men.
Have you ever stopped to think what kind of men women drop their panties over?
They are men like Pete Davidson, Dylan O'Brien, Timothee Chalamet, Tom Holland, and Harry Styles (sorry that I only listed white men). This men stand in direct contrast to everything men say that women want.
Look, this post is going long, so I will say summarize with these two points:
Naruto has always been gay, so of course Boruto is going to be gay. Even if Boruto ends up with Sarada, it will still probably be a gay series. The series idolizing, romanticizes and sexualizes the idea of all things masculine from the male perspective.
I think it would actually be the most beautiful ending if Boruto x Mitsuki becomes romantic endgame, because at least Kishimoto will be honest with himself about what his motivations really are. He wants to live in a world in which he can be in an emotionally intimate, vulnerable, and transparent relationship with a man that he admires who admires him in exchange. I think that's what most men actually want (whether that involves sex or not), but men don't ask for that because, well: No Homo. So, instead, we have a male loneliness and despair epidemic.
Now, you make ask justhoughts1310, is it wrong for men to like each other?
Of course not! I am a woman who loves women, values women, admires women, and thinks women are so amazing and beautiful. I am blown away by all that women are.
A large part of the Barbie movie, was the admiration of the amazingness of women despite all odds and obstacles.
What I have a problem with is men denying their true desires and motivations, and in turn treating women as a prop in the games that they play to win over the approval of other men.
Basically, men. If you want to have a dick measuring contest, leave all of us women and the rest of the world out of it.
Some random boruto/naruto headcannons since I haven’t done one of these in a while
Small tw:slightly NSFW for the first one but rest aren’t
1. Naruto,Sasuke,Hinata,and Sakura are all in a semi-open relationship as adults and sometimes have (adult fun time) together
2. Kiba gets hot suuupppeerr fast when hes asleep so he sleeps naked with five fans running
3.kankuro secretly collects crochet plushies in his free time,only a few people he’s close with have been able to see it but it’s massive
4.Garra is very very very touch starved,the moment his partner gives him any amount of physical affection he feels like self destructing because he’s to unused to it
5.Kakashi likes it when his partner traces his scars,it’s very comforting to him
6.Mitsuki has a huge crush on boruto (pre-timeskip) and literally everyone but boruto knows
That’s all I got for now
Note: partner was used for when referring to character’s relationship as to not limit it to one specific ship

So, I'm impatient like most people. I often read fan translations when new chapters of Boruto come out, because waiting a month for a new manga chapter is ridiculous.
Since I read both the fan translation and the actual translation, I want to to point out a few differences that I noticed between the fan translation and the official for Boruto TBV Ch.6.
1. The Hokage'e advisors want Shikamaru to assume the position of Hokage. That wasn't as clear to me in the fan version.
2. Shikamaru wasn't interested I'm the old mission logs at all. He just wanted to talk to Ino. The fan version made it seem as if the mission logs helped Shikamaru confirm something, and then he chose to talk to Ino.
3. When Sumire told Boruto he looked good, and he said Ditto. In the fan one, he said "you too" which was dismissive but not as dismissive as "Ditto". A lot of BoruSara shippers see this as a win for Sarada. I don't. I think this reconfirms that in Boruto's life, Sarada is essentially Sakura and Sumire is essentially Hinata. If you know who Boruto's mom is, you know why this isn't exactly a win for Team BoruSara.
4. The whole conversation between Boruto and Shikamaru was hostel. In the fan version, Boruto seemed to be more open to the conversation. I think this reconfirms how much like Sasuke Boruto has become. It, also, might show Boruto's disgust for how Shikamaru once treated Kawaki. Remember, before omnipotence, Shikamaru never liked Kawaki.
5. Boruto doesn't respect or see Shikamaru as the Hokage. In the fan version, Boruto was very respectful and called Shikamaru Lord 8th. In the official version, Boruto is basically like IDGAF who the fresh mess you are Old Man Shikamaru!
6. This is the big one, because so many so called anime experts and anime bros have been like Boruto's going to crush Mitsuki, Boruto's going to embarrass Mitsuki, Boruto is going to destroy Mitsuki, Boruto doesn't see Mitsuki as a threat! Well, I always thought that was BS and this official translation proves it. In the fan version, Boruto refers to Mitsuki as "minor business". In the official version, Boruto basically tells Shikamaru and Ino that he has to hang up on them, because he has a "loose end" to tie up. The proves that his sees Mitsuki as too big of a threat to be ignored. Remember, growing up Mitsuki was Boruto's ultimate sparing partner. After Boruto and Mitsuki missed the Chunin Exams, they spared each other in the anime. Boruto knows that Mitsuki is powerful, and I believe that Ch. 7 is going to display how much stronger Mitsuki has become. Now, is Boruto still stronger. Most likely. However, is Boruto going to crush Mitsuki? Absolutely not. Mitsuki along with Sarada are his best friends in the entire world. He's not going to seriously hurt or injure either of them, especially when he knows that Mitsuki is under a powerful genjutsu.
the boruto ships randomly came to my head. many think there’s a love triangle and insist it’s BoruSumi vs BoruSara… but it’s seems the love triangle isn’t Sumire-Boruto-Sarada like we all thought, but Sumire-Boruto-Mitsuki and honestly, that makes so much more sense when you really think about it
it’s been confirmed multiple times that sumire is in love with boruto. her feelings are canon and she plays the role of the love heroine (shonen tend to have two heroines. one is the main heroine and the other the love heroine. like sakura and hinata were in naruto). there is no debate here. sumire loves boruto
sarada’s been asked three times already if she likes boruto and the girl always denies it. her response never changes. it’s consistent. when sumire asked her about her feelings, sarada said she does not like boruto, this made sumire confident enough to admit she does like boruto. sarada is the closest girl to boruto. it makes sense she’s her main competition and would ask her how she feels about the guy she’s interested in. when mitsuki asked her about her feelings for boruto, she not only dismissed the question, she also turned it back on him and said he’s the one whose eyes light up when he sees boruto. when eida asked her, sarada doesn’t even answer and lies (literally lies during this entire conversation) about eida’s enchantment ability to not answer. not just that, but a bit prior to asking her this, sarada literally thinks the entire romance topic is dumb
sarada literally has zero interest in romance. there’s no other way to put it. there is no deeper meaning or “reading between the lines”. what we see is what we get and exactly what it means
now let’s talk about mitsuki here. he said he wouldn’t know what he’d do to the person if they hurt boruto
and was the one who brought up the question to sarada. asking her about her feelings and instead, she says her wanting to help boruto has nothing to do with her feelings. literally shutting any questions about romance down. mitsuki then asked if it’s hard to know your own feelings. this tells us he is internally trying to understand his own feelings, and it’s when sarada tells him his eyes light up when he sees boruto
a few chapters later mitsuki is affected by eida’s enchantment ability and he wonders what that feeling is as he’s never experienced it. mitsuki doesn’t understand human emotions. not 100% anyway and is learning about it as the series progresses. mitsuki asking sarada about her feelings for boruto and being told he’s the one whose eyes light up and then feeling a certain emotion for the first time ever could be a hint to his own feelings for boruto
really thinking about it, i’m starting to believe many of us have been seeing this manga wrong the entire seven years it’s been going. i always see ship wars between boruto x sumire vs boruto x sarada… when in reality we’re wrong here. this isn’t sumire-boruto-sarada, it’s sumire-boruto-mitsuki. and seeing as we already have a nonbinary character (orochimaru) in the narutoverse, it should be no surprise if mitsuki doesn’t care for gender regarding himself and his potential romantic partner
now i’ll touch a bit of boruto x sarada since it’s the most popular ship and i know many will be quick to point out their interactions. truth is, with the amount of times she’s been asked if she likes boruto and never confirming things, it kind of throws sarada out the window as a potential lover for boruto in the future. they’re really close and good friends that care about each other. if anything, they’re more like family since it’s the way their parents (naruto and sasuke) bonded (like brothers). then why are they always asking sarada if she has feelings for boruto?? the answer is simple. it’s as simple as throwing a bone to the shippers to keep them in. with the manga’s sales not being very good and declining with each release, everyone knows the only people who will see this manga to the end are shippers just to see if their ship is canon, so the writers have to find a way to keep them in. it’s really that simple
sorry for the long post >.< i don’t mean to make things long but there’s really no other way for me to put things in a short version. i find it best to try and explain myself in detail. thank you for reading to the end !!
