After Naruto concluded, fans wanted to see more of their beloved shinob. Their wish was fulfilled through Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which featured the story of Naruto Uzumki’s son, Boruto Uzumaki. Even though the fans held high expectations from the series, it failed to deliver, and soon they started to speak ill about it. They were utterly disappointed and only watched when Naruto and Sasuke were featured.
But with time, the anime improved. The manga had a massive shift and transitioned into a new story, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Since the new manga, it has been aging like a fine wine. Even though it was initially a disappointment, the story is catching everyone’s attention. Let us see five reasons why Boruto finally deserves to be loved.
5. No More Dependency on Old Generation
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex shows Boruto Uzumaki’s independent journey to prove his innocence. Someone brainwashed the entire Hidden Leaf Village into thinking he killed Naruto and Hinata, and as a result, he was banished from his village. After that, he trained under Sasuke Uchiha to become independent and showcase his inner shinobi through various fights.
Several tense moments prove it is no longer a filler-based story as it was in the beginning. After Sasuke Uchiha got absorbed by the God Tree, he became a lone warrior and fights the enemies.
4. New and Stronger Villains
Naruto and Naruto Shippuden’s villains were all shinobi from different villages and generations. But Boruto took it a level further and brought aliens through Kaguya’s background. They are here for the chakra fruit and are ready to devour every last shinobi. The latest chapters of Two Blue Vortex featured the God Tree from the Fourth Great Ninja War. It developed consciousness and absorbed several strong villains, and made them its underlings.
The tree has a special faction known as Claw Grimes, and they are pretty powerful even for Seventh Hokage standards. Unfortunately, the God Tree absorbed Sasuke Uchiha and transformed into a Claw Grime.
3. New Abilities and Techniques
The Naruto franchise had pretty awesome abilities and techniques. The chidori and rasengan were classics. Then later came the Rinne-Sharingan, Rasen Shuriken and Sage Jutsu. Boruto also introduced several new jutsu, which were pretty powerful. The Karma mark and Jougan were introduced in the anime.
But recently, Boruto was seen to use a new form of Rasengan, known as Rasengan Uzuhiko, which uses the rotation of the Earth to powerup and has devastating effects. Karma marks can enhance one’s ability, and Jougan’s full extent is yet to be fully explored.
2. Impressive Fight Sequences
Boruto has pretty impressive fight sequences in comparison to Naruto. Naruto’s fight sequences were mostly based on the use of ninjutsu. It was fun to watch, but Boruto did something more with the fight sequences. It used wild taijutsu usage, which made the fights look more intriguing. Every anime fan remembers the fight between Naruto and Sasuke vs. Momoshiki. The fan-favorite characters using taijutsu was the most bad*ss combination. Apart from that, there are several other fights with proper taijutsu.
1. Masashi Kishimoto is Back in Boruto
The fans were habituated to Masashi Kishimoto‘s writing style. When Boruto was announced, everyone thought he would continue writing the manga. Unfortunately, he left, and the task was given to Ukyo Kodachi and Mikio Ikemoto. But still, the fans gave him a chance and were utterly disappointed. After Volume 13, Masashi Kishimoto returned and picked up his pen.
Since then, the plot has also picked itself up, and more readers have been tuning into the manga. After the time skip, Kishimoto is supervising the story, and as a result, it is aging like a fine wine.
