Forthcaring the legacy of a globally known and adored show like Naruto was a difficult task. Unfortunately, Boruto was not able to satisfy the expectations of the fans. Not only did it displease fans, but it also tarnished the legacy of Naruto, which was built over a decade of hard work. One of the foremost reasons for Boruto’s failure was the animation; somehow fan-made videos had a better story and animation than the series.
Lucas Ideale is an animator on YouTube, known for creating mesmerizing fan animations with a good storyline. He created a fan animation that brought back Uchiha Madara and other members of Naruto Shippuden, which went viral.

One of the prominent reasons for the utter collapse of the Boruto franchise was its animation and storyline. The narrative didn’t have anything that fans could immerse themselves in, which Naruto did for a decade.
With poor animation, mediocre writing, and numerous fillers, the reputation of the Boruto franchise is at an all-time low, with fans not acknowledging the series as a continuation of Naruto. Luckily, in these dark times for Naruto fans, there are fan animations that can make them feel elated.
Fan animations have enhanced tremendously over the years, and some animators manage to create something that you might mistake for an official anime. Lucas Ideale is one of the most widely known animators on YouTube who creates fan animations of theories and different storylines.
His videos revolve around Naruto and alternative scenarios where Naruto is still the main character rather than Boruto. One of his videos, which has a staggering 1.3 million views, was based on the revival of the Ghost of Uchiha.
To fight the Otsutsuki, Naruto resorts to bringing back Madara Uchiha and leaguing with him to take down the Otsutsuki, the most powerful clan in the entire Naruto franchise. The video focuses on Madara resurrecting, along with Hashirama and all other previous Hokages, such as Tobirama and Minato.
If that was not enough, Obito and Itachi are also resurrected as the past of Konoha comes together to take down the Otsutsuki, who are a force to be reckoned with.
More on Boruto
Despite the franchise being an internet meme, the show has a lot of potential, and the characters in the sequel are well-written. Unfortunately, due to poor management, the show’s reputation has taken significant damage.
Luckily, that’s not the case for the manga, which is currently reigning as #1 on many sites. The sequel, titled Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, focuses on the life of Boruto after Naruto gets sealed in another dimension for three years.
All the characters have grown up, the tides have changed, and due to memory manipulation, the entire Konoha village believes Boruto to be a traitor and deems him the criminal for killing his father.
However, Boruto has decided to take action and save his family. With a three-year timeskip and rigorous training, he has surpassed his father and become the strongest shinobi ever.
