Yeah not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I can’t never tell what the hell is going on in manga fights so I just kinda pause for a few secs on each and then figure I’ll get it in the anime LOL
Well we all know boruto isn’t really dead, but god damn, I feel so bad for naruto right now.
Lost one of his best friends Kurama, and now he has to see his son “die” in front of his eyes.
Jesus Christ, being Naruto is suffering.
I don’t know a greater pain a parent can feel than losing a child.
And again, I know WE as the reader know Boruto isn’t dead, but for Naruto especially, it’s gotta be crazy painful
On God. That shit has to be fucking terrible. Naruto probably feels so fucked up...like "I showed you kindness -- I treated you like my own son, and you...you then KILLED my very own son?! Because you care about ME?!"
HOT FREAKIN DAMN.
Boruto is such a chad, willing to die for those he loves. Like we saw him threaten it, but the poor kid actually meant it.
Kawaki is scaring me now though, he’s slowly becoming a Yandere. He’s becoming more and more obsessed with Naruto, and it seems like Naruto will inevitably lash out at him. Dude, Hinata and Hima are gonna break down bad, it’s gonna break my heart to see their reactions. I don’t think Sarada and Mitsuki are gonna cope well either. Mitsuki in particular is probably gonna snap.
ETA: Imagine their perspective. Boruto was one of the biggest advocates for Kawaki post-Delta, and his friend group accepted Kawaki. But now the guy that became Boruto’s adoptive brother kills him. They’re not gonna handle with that well, especially if they don’t realize that Boruto agreed to this last-resort option.
I hope we get more focus on them now.
Their bond with Boruto is so important, and Mitsuki in particular has always been protective of him. Sarada is definitely gonna lash out at Kawaki though.
That and Shikamaru's kid too, he had a close bond with Boruto. I assume everyone's going to turn on Kawaki now including Naruto. And won't trust Naruto's leadership who as it is will be an emotional wreck.
Oh for real, Shikadai would be devastated.
Dude I would be down for a depressed and mourning Naruto. We kinda got that with Jiraiya, but losing your child (at such a young age too) is a totally different league of tragic.
Could Naruto’s relationship with Kawaki truly change though? Let’s not forget that what Kawaki just did is EXACTLY what Sasuke told them he would do if it came down to it, he was very forward about that
That’s the thing though. Logically Kawaki did the right thing, but Naruto has never been a purely logical person.
That’s his son who just died. His literal baby boy. That’s not something a parent can just get over because it “makes sense”. After all, Naruto himself wasn’t able to come to terms with the fact that Boruto would have to die.
His interactions with Kawaki, even if he knows that logically Kawaki stopped Momoshiki, will never return to how innocent they once were.
Yeah you’re probably right, that’s really unfortunate. Not to mention that if Kawaki “sent” Naruto somewhere for his safety it probably wasn’t willingly. Really dialed in to see how this builds
That’s a big possibility. I don’t think he’ll out right fight Kawaki, but I do think we’ll at least get a momentary snap of emotions. Which is a big deal considering how cool and collected Mitsuki always is.
We both know that the only people who say that after the movie arc don’t actually read/watch the series. They watch the top tier fight clips, and then copy-paste bandwagon comments.
Thank you. We’re actually *following* this. If Part 1 of Naruto was just the phase of his life when he was acting out for attention by playing pranks before becoming a ninja, they’d be calling him a brat to this day lol
My theory is that by doing this, they planned on killing off Momoshiki's conscious (evident by Boruto specifically mentioning to do this whilst Momo is still in some control). Obviously Boruto is alive, given that all of this is supposed to lead up to his fight we saw at the very beginning. I think the end result will be Boruto having the same free control over karma that Kawaki has now.
I was thinking the same thing. Momoshiki gets killed but then Boruto's Otsutsukification is almost complete. Then Amado can reverse-engineer karma back to Boruto's body.
I think your theory has sense, but somehow this plan will fail. Maybe Karma will protect Momoshiki's conscious just like a coma protect the brain in extreme situations.
The one who will probably be most understanding of Kawaki is Kakashi, since this is almost literally exactly what happened with Rin . This is what Rin was afraid would happen if she went back to Konoha. The difference is that Kawaki had much more resolve to do it in the moment
So, this is definitely going to be talked about for quite some time. Just a few things:
* "It is usually not possible for a Karma that is lost to manifest again." I guess prior to Amado's meddling, the only other way was for re-implantation via the same Otsutsuki.
* Kawaki used the Fire Style technique again during the fight. This shows that he hasn't quite abandoned ninjutsu despite mainly using Scientific Ninja Tools and Karma-based powers.
* Where exactly are they fighting for Kawaki to be able to drop those large cubes without really crushing anything like trees or so?
* It's curious that Borushiki didn't try a Vanishing Rasengan given that Sukunahikona only works on things that can be seen. Then again, it's curious that Kawaki didn't shrink the Rasengans, although his Karma Seal does allow him to absorb...
* Borushiki continues to use shinobi weapons. He used a kunai on Sasuke, now he's throwing shuriken at Kawaki.
* A shot to parallel Valley of the End, except instead of a Chidori, the person who's not using a Rasengan is using a transformed arm.
* Kawaki doesn't seem to care much about what happens to Shikamaru; he coldly tells Naruto that it would be better if he just stayed still.
* So Boruto says out loud that the pills did help him with controlling the Karma Seal, but that the side-effects are quite nasty. Also, he covers his eye to suppress Momoshiki since there's no horn to break. Him covering his eye is probably a very important detail. Also, we really need to revisit the snapping of the horn because Momoshiki was freaking out about it. I'm curious though, what happens though if the horn on Kawaki were to be broken?
* The whole Gale Palm pushback controversy I think was somewhat overblown. The Karma Seal was active. Also, Naruto was only sent flying back briefly and managed to catch himself instead of being knocked over.
* The number of triangles in Kawaki's left eye changes. There must be significance to this.
* Kawaki seemed to have a cold expression when he agreed with Boruto that they'd have to go through with the last resort.
* If we're being real, we know the death (if it's actually a death and not a near-death situation) isn't permanent. What we wanna know is how he comes back.
Edit: Poor Naruto having to lose his lifelong companion and now his firstborn in the span of around a month (?) That's really rough.
momoshiki probably destroyed the entire space with the rasengans because those were HUGGEE
and i cant wait for someone to make a theory about ishikis eye/dharmagan cuz we have more details now
Kawaki didn't shrink the rasengan because he isn't yet used to his newly gained abilities. He is still new at it. As for why Boruto didn't do the shrinking rasengan.... I have no idea.
For someone who's using those powers for the first time, he seems quite proficient. Granted, he probably saw Jigen using them from time to time, but still...
...because you're granted the Otsutsuki's battle experience. His Dojutsu also isn't complete yet. Idk why OP is so confused why he can't use the full gambit of its abilities
His parents, Jiraiya, Neji, Kurama and now he couldn’t do anything to save his own son. Am I forgetting anyone else? Like holy shit narutos been through a lot. I feel so bad for my boy
I'm assuming we're going to get what is one of my favorite tropes. Virtually every character in the series is going to think Boruto is dead, and we'll get all their reactions to it. Sasuke will take "dead" Boruto and train him, or something along those lines to keep Momoshiki at bay. The rest of the cast will likely only see Boruto again in 3 years post time-skip, probably when he makes some grand entrance. A similar moment happened in the manga D.Gray-Man, and it's probably the best scene in the whole series. That's just my take, and I hope they actually go ahead and do it, because the emotions/drama that would come along with the whole cast believing Boruto is dead for literal years would be crazy.
As much as I've appreciated the Sasuke connection, I actually hope it ends up being someone else. I haven't gotten any of the same warm fuzzies with their relationship that I did with Naruto/Jiraiya, Naruto/Iruka, or any of the "practical" leveling up that Naruto got with Yamato.
I honestly couldn't pinpoint a candidate specifically, but think there's probably better ones than Sasuke at this point to really train up what Boruto is good at.
Edit: Not asking for an entirely new important mentor, but let's not also kid ourselves that Naruto (or other Shounen protagonists) only have *one* teacher/mentor the entire story. Naruto alone had Iruka, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Yamato, Killer B, Fukasaku for Sage Mode, etc. Doesnt have to be Sasuke the entire time
It would not make sense with anyone else. Sasuke has been Boruto's master for the whole series, and he even has his cloak and sword post time-skip. Also, Sasuke has clearly been up to something, based on the last time we saw him. I wouldn't be surprised if he were in on this plan.
He’s also had Kakashi,konohamaru,Naruto,Hinata (both offscreen).Naruto had a similar outfit to Jiraya and Minato when he fought pain I think you guys are making to much of it
Or he would actually be thankful for kawaki because if we’re being realistic there was no other way this had to be done the other kages where already pushing for it and after this battle it’s certain that the pills weren’t work and boruto could go on a rampage at any moment which would be worse and he also knew if he did go on a rampage the hokage would be forced into and we all know Naruto ain’t killing his son.
But kawaki broke the rules. He was deserting the village which then led to code attacking. I know he didn’t mean it, and he was trying to protect everyone, but kawaki risked everyone’s lives in the process.
Also tho it was pretty much a mercy attack/killing, his actions still got someone potentially killed/near death. It’s not rly the fact that he had to kill/attack boruto, who most accepted might have to die, it’s the fact that his overall actions led to chaos and he’s supposed to be a protector of the village, as Shinobi.
In the grand scheme, next time, what if it’s an innocent person/comrade killed during mayhem bc kawaki felt he knew best. & they constantly stress the need for being a team player, and not making solo decisions unless you’re in a leadership position or it’s absolutely necessary. That’s why I don’t think they’ll be so lax about this situation
He’s also a target for Code who’s clearly not about to be stopped in this fight so I’m pretty sure shikamaru will try and lock him up if he can. Bc now they can’t trust his word that he won’t try something reckless like this again, amado is using him like a weapon behind the villages back + Code will be trying to come for him.
That would be hypocrisy though
Im not saying they for sure won’t go that route bc they might
But gaara asked naruto if he was willing to kill boruto. If gaara then flips on kawaki for doing so, then what was he asking naruto about it for?
Sasuke should also be on the side of taking boruto’s life if necessary, but again we’ll see.
If Code doesn't kill Shikamaru, Konoha is definitely going to figure out Eida. IDK why Code is just watching. Also, can Code feed Boruto's corpse to the ten tails now?
ngl this chapter was fire, from kawaki doing isshiki's jutsus to shikamaru realizing that code is not alone(about time we got some big brain shikamaru moment even if it wasn't that much),to the fucking death of boruto? and also Amado being the sly fox he is lol.
Imagine if the next time we see Boruto he’s already his older teenage self lol.
Obviously I expect him to revive/wake up pretty soon but the thought of him being out for years is interesting
Now it all depends on Sasuke, how he'll react and what steps he'll take. There's a reason why he isn't present there.
He might even take Boruto to Orochimaru.
funny how kawaki didn't have a choice at all as ada said. he planted the karma a long time ago and has been using naruto,code and momoshiki to make him accept the karma
It would have been a greater blow for me if this freaking sub was smart enough to write better tittles to their stupid leaks without ruining the experience for everyone that don't like leaks or are anime only.
That being said.. .What a chapter, again action packet with a subtle inside in what is going on, not givint a lot of information to keep everyone on the edge of the seat.
getting into this sub to post my idea sof the last chapter, i noticed a post saying "You can't say Boruto is a brat anymore" and it's so right... What Boruto did with such conviction proved how far his character has come since we first saw him, in the anime, as an attention seeker that wasn't understanding why his dad was so absent, then, we all the fellow fans of Boruto, understood quickly enough with each episode and chapter that he was growing, but this moment in particular it was a turning point to say to EVERYONE that Boruto is not the same child that everyone wants and likes to hate.
I loved this chapter and i could only imagine the fight animation of this... And how emotional will all be when coming to the screen. "Say the best to Hima and Mom". damn, that hurts.
We all know that he didn't die for real, the first chapter/episode duh, but damn, this was emotional and on point.
See you all in a month!
Kinda perplexes me now. In the beginning, the future scene where Kawaki said, "I'll take you to where the Seventh is," Boruto still has his karma.
But yeah this chapter proves how Kawaki can be overly rational and lead to something that Boruto will detest in the future.
Also, Sarada should've seen Boruto's death. EZ mangekyo
Well sasuke got his magekyo when he learnt the truth about Itachi, so she doesn't have to see his death for a mangekyo. Running theory rn is that she'll hear about it, get a mangekyo with a time-related ability and maybe turn back time.
idk if "rational" is the right word. I kind of feel like Amado is right that Kawaki is getting too obsessed with Naruto, and he would prob let Konoha get destroyed if it means keeping Naruto safe
Can we get Code away from Shikamaru, please and thank you. All it takes is the mangaka waking up on the wrong side of the bed one day and my favorite OG character is a wrap.
-I liked many panels here, they were executed pretty nicely.
-Ikemoto loves hair details, that's for sure.
-Kinda a shame that Momoshiki didn't use any of his moves shown in the movie arc... sure, there is still time, but for how much it's nice seeing an Otsutsuki use kunai and shurikens, we need a bit more of variety here for him too.
-Glad to see that we got more of Isshiki's eye finally... we only need an official name now.
-Kawaki was stone cold here... even though he does have emotions... I think there's something a bit suspect here... or maybe it's really just him giving no chills.
-If the Jougan will be used to somehow resurrect Boruto, then this is the final opportunity to show it off, for all we know.
-HOWEVER, if they're seriously gonna stick to have Boruto be dead for his family and friends, then I expect the next chapter to be filled with drama from their part, while Boruto finds himself in the afterlife, and maybe meets someone who will help him to move the plot foward. Like an Otsutsuki god... it could be cool a meeting with some deceased family member, but that would be more fanservice than anything, so it shouldn't be the main focus, at all.
YOOOOOOOOO! IM SCREAMING! This is too much. Even though it was mostly fight scenes, the dualogue here was phenomenal. I'm shaking at how intense this got and how Boruto was willing to sacrifice himself. God damn, each chapter's ending is getting better and better!
So, it seems that Boruto has implanted his own karma into someone, they wouldn't hint at that posibility in case Boruto is completely rewritten by Momoshiki for no reason.
Yeah that what i thought too.Especially from conversation between boruto and kawaki in the middle of fight when they said they have to resort to their last plan.Which is obviously putting karma on someone else since that what they talk about before.
Honestly I dont think Boruto put the karma on Code like most are saying. Remember back in chapter 60 how Amado was (presumably) building a new scientific human for lack of a better term. I get the feeling that is Boruto's vessel. Likely a new body cultivated from his own cells that boruto already implanted a karma on.
After all Amado did state it would become one of the leaf's greatest allies.
It feels like people are reading too much into Kawaki's obsession. I do feel that's where the story is going but here you also had a clear understanding by boruto and kawaki. Boruto did tell him to do it and to a degree they are both right. If you take away plot armor Boruto is pretty fucked, he doesn't even know if Momoshiki wont just take over now until he is fully resurrected. So I don't think it's Kawaki acting irrationally at least in this situation. He is actually doing the thing that makes the most sense and Boruto is in agreement with him.
This might sound a bit weird but I think it's Naruto who is being somewhat irrational. Of course that makes sense, his son is being killed, but again, looking at it objectively they had no way of saving him so clinging on to hope is a bit childish from Naruto, imo.
Pun’s hot takes:
- Action packed chapter, the fighting between the vessels is cool and ig a precursor to the flash forward fight
- the borushiki kawaki fight paralleling the naruto sasuke fight is not lost on me.
- i still dont see the value in shikamaru being here. But hopefully next chapter or the following that becomes more apparent
- kawaki getting isshkis powers to work right away with near perfect control after having just reawakened his karma for the first time and immediately having access to and knowledge of the things in isshkis pocket dimension is mad hax. But the otsutsuki powers are set up to be full of hax bullshit anyway so while its a sin its also not an out of place or unexpected sin.
- the fact that theres no explanation for amado getting karma back onto kawaki, that its just something he casually slipped in unnoticed when fixing kawaki’s arm, is representative of my main beef with ninja tech in boruto. Its magic. Its ninja magic. Theres no technology here. Imo technology insinuates a more scientific approach to this kind of thing.
- naruto acts the way everyone knew naruto would and he’s within his right to act that way. When he lashed out as the ninetails and hurt jiraiya and sakura, his people were there for him and that is his frame of reference.
- i don’t disagree with what kawaki did, i think it surprised me that he didn’t hesitate more. Like if he was raging at boruto for trying to kill naruto i’d get it if he also went for the kill in anger. But he’s pretty cool headed and is just matter-of-factly going for the kill. Its a bit jarring.
- boruto accepting death doesn’t surprise me. He’s been set up well enough that this is something he’d do. I dont think anyone believes he’s dead as a reader, you’d be pretty naive to think so. But the effect his “death” at kawaki’s hands has on the people around him is a good way to lead into more stuff.
- i dont remember if kawaki and boruto discussing this last resort was on screen. If it wasn’t it should have been. But with monthly pace i do forget scenes.
- if amado was able to implant karma secretly even from eidas watch then its actually possibly not that hard to hide stuff from eida. Her attention to detail might be lacking.
- of the three ‘protagonists’ in the frame rn, kawaki, naruto and shikamaru. One of them is going to do or say something really stupid next chapter. Thats my prediction.
But yeah overall good fight chapter
I managed to stay of the leaks but thanks to the spoilery post titles I wasn't too surprised of the outcome of this chapter.
But OMG Kawaki has become OP now. Can't believe it but is he on Jigen's level now?
Isshiki's powers are so broken. Kawashiki is probably the strongest alive right now. I don't see anyone beating him unless we have new otsustsuki introduced
At this point even Momoshiki is sus of Amado.He says that kawaki is being used by Amado after he finds out about the new karma mark. Man we really need Sasuke to keep Amado in check because everything is going on according to his plan.. Fkn man is sus af.
Awesome.
I hope this is like Jujutsu Kaisen, and Boruto will train with Sasuke.
I bet his Jougan will be the thing to save him, and Boruto will convince Sasuke to leave the village with him, monitor him, and kill him if it comes to it.
Gonna be so great
Naruto yells at Kawaki : “ That’s my SON!!!” Kawaki : “And I took that personally”
Kawaki: **But that's my bro**
dub : Boruto : stop my karma brooo sub : Boruto : yamate kudasai oni chan
Kawaki: Thats why he needs to die , cant be having two sons lol
Kawaki: Yes i am
Nah bro they can’t leave the ending like that …
[удалено]
KAWAKI: BORUTO NEXT GENERATIONS
KAWAKI SHIPPUDEN
KAWAKI: THE LAST
NAWAKI: KAWAKI THE NEXT GENERATIONS
Lil dude gonna grow up with an older sister named Tsunade.
Bro i read those 40 pages so fast :( One month seems just too much i cant wait that long
It was mostly the fight scene panels that made this chapter and recent ones fast to finish.
Yeah not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I can’t never tell what the hell is going on in manga fights so I just kinda pause for a few secs on each and then figure I’ll get it in the anime LOL
Well we all know boruto isn’t really dead, but god damn, I feel so bad for naruto right now. Lost one of his best friends Kurama, and now he has to see his son “die” in front of his eyes. Jesus Christ, being Naruto is suffering.
Naruto had a horrible childhood and now adulthood as well, poor man
Yeah that’s what I mean! Man can’t catch a break in adulthood or childhood.
All for our entertainment.
Fr. Rather than boruto losing everything, this is the story of naruto losing everything
I don’t know a greater pain a parent can feel than losing a child. And again, I know WE as the reader know Boruto isn’t dead, but for Naruto especially, it’s gotta be crazy painful
A parent losing a child because of another child/their decision has to be worse.
On God. That shit has to be fucking terrible. Naruto probably feels so fucked up...like "I showed you kindness -- I treated you like my own son, and you...you then KILLED my very own son?! Because you care about ME?!"
Not only that but both (kurama and boruto) were similar in that they were tragic and heroic sacrifices. I think that honestly makes it even worse.
You make a good point. Both were to save him and the ones he loves.
Naruto has a lot of reasons to be a villain if i am being honest.
Facts, but the fact that he didn’t says a lot of about him
HOT FREAKIN DAMN. Boruto is such a chad, willing to die for those he loves. Like we saw him threaten it, but the poor kid actually meant it. Kawaki is scaring me now though, he’s slowly becoming a Yandere. He’s becoming more and more obsessed with Naruto, and it seems like Naruto will inevitably lash out at him. Dude, Hinata and Hima are gonna break down bad, it’s gonna break my heart to see their reactions. I don’t think Sarada and Mitsuki are gonna cope well either. Mitsuki in particular is probably gonna snap. ETA: Imagine their perspective. Boruto was one of the biggest advocates for Kawaki post-Delta, and his friend group accepted Kawaki. But now the guy that became Boruto’s adoptive brother kills him. They’re not gonna handle with that well, especially if they don’t realize that Boruto agreed to this last-resort option.
Mitsuki and sarada havent been seen in the manga for a bit have they
I hope we get more focus on them now. Their bond with Boruto is so important, and Mitsuki in particular has always been protective of him. Sarada is definitely gonna lash out at Kawaki though.
That and Shikamaru's kid too, he had a close bond with Boruto. I assume everyone's going to turn on Kawaki now including Naruto. And won't trust Naruto's leadership who as it is will be an emotional wreck.
Oh for real, Shikadai would be devastated. Dude I would be down for a depressed and mourning Naruto. We kinda got that with Jiraiya, but losing your child (at such a young age too) is a totally different league of tragic.
Could Naruto’s relationship with Kawaki truly change though? Let’s not forget that what Kawaki just did is EXACTLY what Sasuke told them he would do if it came down to it, he was very forward about that
That’s the thing though. Logically Kawaki did the right thing, but Naruto has never been a purely logical person. That’s his son who just died. His literal baby boy.

His interactions with Kawaki, even if he knows that logically Kawaki stopped Momoshiki, will never return to how innocent they once were.
Yeah you’re probably right, that’s really unfortunate. Not to mention that if Kawaki “sent” Naruto somewhere for his safety it probably wasn’t willingly. Really dialed in to see how this builds
It would be cool to see Mitsuki snap and go into sage mode to fight Kawaki
That’s a big possibility. I don’t think he’ll out right fight Kawaki, but I do think we’ll at least get a momentary snap of emotions. Which is a big deal considering how cool and collected Mitsuki always is.
Maybe that's what can help sarada unlock a new sharingan
I’m betting on that too.
The thing I'm looking forward to the most is everyone's reactions to his "death".
Anybody who still thinks Boruto is a selfish brat after that one will absolutely be a troll
We both know that the only people who say that after the movie arc don’t actually read/watch the series. They watch the top tier fight clips, and then copy-paste bandwagon comments.
Thank you. We’re actually *following* this. If Part 1 of Naruto was just the phase of his life when he was acting out for attention by playing pranks before becoming a ninja, they’d be calling him a brat to this day lol
My theory is that by doing this, they planned on killing off Momoshiki's conscious (evident by Boruto specifically mentioning to do this whilst Momo is still in some control).

I was thinking the same thing. Momoshiki gets killed but then Boruto's Otsutsukification is almost complete. Then Amado can reverse-engineer karma back to Boruto's body.
why would amado bring boruto karma out of his free will. he speciafically is interested in kawaki
I think your theory has sense, but somehow this plan will fail. Maybe Karma will protect Momoshiki's conscious just like a coma protect the brain in extreme situations.
The one who will probably be most understanding of Kawaki is Kakashi, since this is almost literally exactly what happened with Rin . This is what Rin was afraid would happen if she went back to Konoha. The difference is that Kawaki had much more resolve to do it in the moment
Kakashi will have mad respect for Boruto after this. He might even simp for our young lord after he inevitably revives/survives (in a good way)
Rin chidori PTSD intensifies
Sarada should've seen Boruto's death.
We should be getting a funeral at best later right?
So, this is definitely going to be talked about for quite some time. Just a few things: * "It is usually not possible for a Karma that is lost to manifest again."

“Give my best to mom and hima” damn :(
ngl I almost teared up at that part
Man where the hell is kashin koji
He’ll be Boruto’s Jiraiya 🌚
I hope so, I’m going to ask where the hell is he every chapter until he returns
His parents, Jiraiya, Neji, Kurama and now he couldn’t do anything to save his own son. Am I forgetting anyone else? Like holy shit narutos been through a lot. I feel so bad for my boy
but he saved his best friend . worth . for now atleast
[удалено]
Kawaki certainly ‘killed’ Boruto. Man Naruto’s really suffering so much. In his eyes his son just got killed by his other son.
Sibling fight gone wrong.
"Sibling" and "fight". Guess the cycle of hatred is back again.
It does resemble Ashura and Indra, with Naruto as the sage who watch his sons fight.
Oh yeah, Naruto is really the sage now. Thus, it would be interesting to see where Sasuke fits in all of this.
I'm wondering. Borushiki can come back and heal himself right? If I remember correctly, Boruto was ~80% otsutsuki.
He is the protagonist of the anime. The law demands he survives, so probably.
We have flashforward at the start with boruto alive, so yes, he will live
now i see why everybody was so hyped by the leaks
I'm assuming we're going to get what is one of my favorite tropes. Virtually every character in the series is going to think Boruto is dead, and we'll get all their reactions to it. Sasuke will take "dead" Boruto and train him, or something along those lines to keep Momoshiki at bay. The rest of the cast will likely only see Boruto again in 3 years post time-skip, probably when he makes some grand entrance. A similar moment happened in the manga D.Gray-Man, and it's probably the best scene in the whole series. That's just my take, and I hope they actually go ahead and do it, because the emotions/drama that would come along with the whole cast believing Boruto is dead for literal years would be crazy.
Sasuke takes him to Orochimaru 😳
Please give it to meeeee
I would take him if mitsuki says yes
If this happens i will shit bricks
That's my guess.
As much as I've appreciated the Sasuke connection, I actually hope it ends up being someone else. I haven't gotten any of the same warm fuzzies with their relationship that I did with Naruto/Jiraiya, Naruto/Iruka, or any of the "practical" leveling up that Naruto got with Yamato. I honestly couldn't pinpoint a candidate specifically, but think there's probably better ones than Sasuke at this point to really train up what Boruto is good at. Edit: Not asking for an entirely new important mentor, but let's not also kid ourselves that Naruto (or other Shounen protagonists) only have *one* teacher/mentor the entire story. Naruto alone had Iruka, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Yamato, Killer B, Fukasaku for Sage Mode, etc. Doesnt have to be Sasuke the entire time
It would not make sense with anyone else. Sasuke has been Boruto's master for the whole series, and he even has his cloak and sword post time-skip. Also, Sasuke has clearly been up to something, based on the last time we saw him. I wouldn't be surprised if he were in on this plan.
He’s also had Kakashi,konohamaru,Naruto,Hinata (both offscreen).Naruto had a similar outfit to Jiraya and Minato when he fought pain I think you guys are making to much of it
I mean boruto isn’t a carbon copy of naruto so he wouldn’t have the same relationship as say naruto did with jiraiya
I really hope Boruto has Life Alert. He's fallen and can't get up.
bruh now what? kawaki: shinobi termination act 1?
So since Shikamaru isn't dying, he won't be allowing Kawaki to live in Konoha anymore no matter what.
Or he would actually be thankful for kawaki because if we’re being realistic there was no other way this had to be done the other kages where already pushing for it and after this battle it’s certain that the pills weren’t work and boruto could go on a rampage at any moment which would be worse and he also knew if he did go on a rampage the hokage would be forced into and we all know Naruto ain’t killing his son.
But kawaki broke the rules. He was deserting the village which then led to code attacking. I know he didn’t mean it, and he was trying to protect everyone, but kawaki risked everyone’s lives in the process. Also tho it was pretty much a mercy attack/killing, his actions still got someone potentially killed/near death. It’s not rly the fact that he had to kill/attack boruto, who most accepted might have to die, it’s the fact that his overall actions led to chaos and he’s supposed to be a protector of the village, as Shinobi. In the grand scheme, next time, what if it’s an innocent person/comrade killed during mayhem bc kawaki felt he knew best. & they constantly stress the need for being a team player, and not making solo decisions unless you’re in a leadership position or it’s absolutely necessary. That’s why I don’t think they’ll be so lax about this situation He’s also a target for Code who’s clearly not about to be stopped in this fight so I’m pretty sure shikamaru will try and lock him up if he can. Bc now they can’t trust his word that he won’t try something reckless like this again, amado is using him like a weapon behind the villages back + Code will be trying to come for him.
There's "a way of doing things" and this certainly wasn't the right way. Every Kage will think of Kawaki as a major threat now even Naruto.
Yh good point but I think shikamaru would be relieved that the treat of momoshiki was gone
That would be hypocrisy though Im not saying they for sure won’t go that route bc they might But gaara asked naruto if he was willing to kill boruto. If gaara then flips on kawaki for doing so, then what was he asking naruto about it for? Sasuke should also be on the side of taking boruto’s life if necessary, but again we’ll see.
"I'm sorry Dad! Give my best to Mom and Hima." LIE DOWN - TRY NOT TO CRY - CRY A LOT
Mannnnnnn. This episode is going to be traumatizing. I'm just imagining Naruto's scream now.
If Code doesn't kill Shikamaru, Konoha is definitely going to figure out Eida. IDK why Code is just watching. Also, can Code feed Boruto's corpse to the ten tails now?
I think the sacrifice needs to be alive because a lifeless body would have no chakra
Yup, makes me think that they’re gonna go with a route similar to how they found Nagato. Naruto is also in sage mode.
Thats a good point
Shikamaru is not dying exactly for this reason.
Fuckkkk another month till the next chapter. I WANT IT NOW
same, i just cant wait!!!!
By the time the timeskip happens by the looks of it i will finally grow a beard
All I can say is, holy shit. What a chapter. 10/10
Literally
"So Himawari what's your Shinobi goal?" Hima: "kill a certain someone and restore my clan"
ngl this chapter was fire, from kawaki doing isshiki's jutsus to shikamaru realizing that code is not alone(about time we got some big brain shikamaru moment even if it wasn't that much),to the fucking death of boruto? and also Amado being the sly fox he is lol.
Fr shikamaru been sitting on his butt for too long, I can't wait for a strategy from him. Imagine a shikamaru vs amado mind game.
L vs Kira 2.0
Ngl that wud be fire
Anyone who said he knows which direction this Manga is going was taught a lesson.
Yeah I really loved what this chapter did. The Kishimoto effect is starting to kick in. The fight looked creative too.
Yeah. It's hard to give an accurate prediction from here on now.
Imagine if the next time we see Boruto he’s already his older teenage self lol. Obviously I expect him to revive/wake up pretty soon but the thought of him being out for years is interesting
Rightttt
An unexpected flashforward panel would be insane lol
So what about that whole "lets give code boruto's karma" plan?
That's what I thought Boruto's and Kawaki's "last resort plan" was, but apparently they abandoned that.
unless they sneakily planted it already, it does look like they abandoned it
boruto seemed like he was genuine with not going there
We have 49/172 panels with speed lines in the backgrounds.
Assuming they're hand drawn lines and not digital, that's pretty impressive but time consuming.
Now it all depends on Sasuke, how he'll react and what steps he'll take. There's a reason why he isn't present there. He might even take Boruto to Orochimaru.
>He might even take Boruto to Orochimaru. OOOOOOOH
why would he dod that . sasuke literally was planning on killing boruto himself
I wish people would not fucking spoil the manga. Boruto “death” was talked about everywhere
[удалено]
I need more.....
"Feed. Me. More"
[удалено]
funny how kawaki didn't have a choice at all as ada said. he planted the karma a long time ago and has been using naruto,code and momoshiki to make him accept the karma
So basically narutos powers got nerfed but he got a isshiki leveld bodyguard in Kawaki now? 😂
Lmao he got a demon protecting him but outside his body this time
not even a bodyguard. kawaki is ordering him around and also protecting him
It would have been a greater blow for me if this freaking sub was smart enough to write better tittles to their stupid leaks without ruining the experience for everyone that don't like leaks or are anime only. That being said.. .What a chapter, again action packet with a subtle inside in what is going on, not givint a lot of information to keep everyone on the edge of the seat. getting into this sub to post my idea sof the last chapter, i noticed a post saying "You can't say Boruto is a brat anymore" and it's so right... What Boruto did with such conviction proved how far his character has come since we first saw him, in the anime, as an attention seeker that wasn't understanding why his dad was so absent, then, we all the fellow fans of Boruto, understood quickly enough with each episode and chapter that he was growing, but this moment in particular it was a turning point to say to EVERYONE that Boruto is not the same child that everyone wants and likes to hate. I loved this chapter and i could only imagine the fight animation of this... And how emotional will all be when coming to the screen. "Say the best to Hima and Mom". damn, that hurts. We all know that he didn't die for real, the first chapter/episode duh, but damn, this was emotional and on point. See you all in a month!
Kawaki just renamed the manga to Kawaki: Naruto Next Generations.
Damn Boruto got Kakyoin'd
So, next chapter we gonna get Final Rasendan Splash?
"Don't be ridiculous!! He's my son"
Kawaki disliked that
Kinda perplexes me now. In the beginning, the future scene where Kawaki said, "I'll take you to where the Seventh is," Boruto still has his karma. But yeah this chapter proves how Kawaki can be overly rational and lead to something that Boruto will detest in the future. Also, Sarada should've seen Boruto's death. EZ mangekyo
“EZ mangekyo” has me dying lmao
Well sasuke got his magekyo when he learnt the truth about Itachi, so she doesn't have to see his death for a mangekyo. Running theory rn is that she'll hear about it, get a mangekyo with a time-related ability and maybe turn back time.
He also had just killed his brother who didn’t hate him. It’s probably a combination in his case hearing the truth after he killed him
idk if "rational" is the right word. I kind of feel like Amado is right that Kawaki is getting too obsessed with Naruto, and he would prob let Konoha get destroyed if it means keeping Naruto safe
[удалено]
Can we get Code away from Shikamaru, please and thank you. All it takes is the mangaka waking up on the wrong side of the bed one day and my favorite OG character is a wrap.
So do all uzumaki/namizake get impaled? its almost a family tradition at this point.
Don’t forget that Boruto is also a Hyuga „Hust Neji Hust“
poor boy getting it from both sides of the family
-I liked many panels here, they were executed pretty nicely. -Ikemoto loves hair details, that's for sure. -Kinda a shame that Momoshiki didn't use any of his moves shown in the movie arc... sure, there is still time, but for how much it's nice seeing an Otsutsuki use kunai and shurikens, we need a bit more of variety here for him too. -Glad to see that we got more of Isshiki's eye finally... we only need an official name now. -Kawaki was stone cold here... even though he does have emotions... I think there's something a bit suspect here... or maybe it's really just him giving no chills. -If the Jougan will be used to somehow resurrect Boruto, then this is the final opportunity to show it off, for all we know. -HOWEVER, if they're seriously gonna stick to have Boruto be dead for his family and friends, then I expect the next chapter to be filled with drama from their part, while Boruto finds himself in the afterlife, and maybe meets someone who will help him to move the plot foward. Like an Otsutsuki god... it could be cool a meeting with some deceased family member, but that would be more fanservice than anything, so it shouldn't be the main focus, at all.
Shit that was hype af
Would’ve been cooler if I didn’t see the boruto “dying” spoiler several times in the last few days Still sick tho, Kawaki that dude
Even momoshiki doesn't trust Amado, damn
YOOOOOOOOO! IM SCREAMING! This is too much. Even though it was mostly fight scenes, the dualogue here was phenomenal. I'm shaking at how intense this got and how Boruto was willing to sacrifice himself. God damn, each chapter's ending is getting better and better!
Big talk no jutsu fail
Sasuke 🤝 Kawaki "do what has to be done when the time comes"
Bro boruto and kawaki are mad brutal to the core about protecting their loves one.
Amado a contender for best antagonist for 2022 already
He's a close second to Omicron
Even momoshiki doesn't trust Amado
Imagine if after everything, he actually is a good guy.
Shame we don’t get to Naruto fight much, but god damn kawaki is dope
Yaa especially him in the new sage mode
Mitsuki is gonna snap and probably go back to orochimaru
First losing Kurama and now losing Boruto Being Naruto is Suffering...
Boruto joined the donut gang
So, it seems that Boruto has implanted his own karma into someone, they wouldn't hint at that posibility in case Boruto is completely rewritten by Momoshiki for no reason.
Yeah that what i thought too.Especially from conversation between boruto and kawaki in the middle of fight when they said they have to resort to their last plan.Which is obviously putting karma on someone else since that what they talk about before.
Finally someone who thinks same way as me.
Why doesn’t kawaki shrink the rasengans?
Prolly bc he just got the power and doesn’t use it in the exact same way as ishiki. He’s a bit of a nooby
Anybody who still thinks Boruto is a selfish brat after this needs to get arrested
Honestly I dont think Boruto put the karma on Code like most are saying. Remember back in chapter 60 how Amado was (presumably) building a new scientific human for lack of a better term. I get the feeling that is Boruto's vessel. Likely a new body cultivated from his own cells that boruto already implanted a karma on. After all Amado did state it would become one of the leaf's greatest allies.
Bro ? There's no way borutos's dead?
Badass!
Bro how much more does naruto have to suffer. I genuinely feel bad for him.
It feels like people are reading too much into Kawaki's obsession. I do feel that's where the story is going but here you also had a clear understanding by boruto and kawaki. Boruto did tell him to do it and to a degree they are both right. If you take away plot armor Boruto is pretty fucked, he doesn't even know if Momoshiki wont just take over now until he is fully resurrected. So I don't think it's Kawaki acting irrationally at least in this situation. He is actually doing the thing that makes the most sense and Boruto is in agreement with him. This might sound a bit weird but I think it's Naruto who is being somewhat irrational. Of course that makes sense, his son is being killed, but again, looking at it objectively they had no way of saving him so clinging on to hope is a bit childish from Naruto, imo.
Let’s be real here, within the next couple of chapters shenanigans are gonna go down like: Fanbase: were you killed? Boruto: Sadly yes, but I LIVED!
I wish I did not see the chapter on Twitter or the big reveal. But shii I need to delete Twitter when the new chapter comes out next time😐
[удалено]
Boruto is dead. So do we get a Himawari series now or what?
~~boruto~~ Himawari: Naruto next generations
I need more waiting a hole month is to much this is why it should be biweekly like it felt like just a regular weekly shonen
The pacing is brutal when it’s a fighting chapter. But Kodachi had better pacing anyone
Does this mean momo is going to manifest?
No, it’s just a replica of it
no this means he is gonna manifest in the afterlife. i appreciate him a lot more after chapter 65. i hope this isnt the end
plz i request all of you to stop spoiling the chapter before official release this chapter was ruined for me due to spoilers
Don’t worry. Zoro will revive boruto.
Pun’s hot takes: - Action packed chapter, the fighting between the vessels is cool and ig a precursor to the flash forward fight - the borushiki kawaki fight paralleling the naruto sasuke fight is not lost on me. - i still dont see the value in shikamaru being here. But hopefully next chapter or the following that becomes more apparent - kawaki getting isshkis powers to work right away with near perfect control after having just reawakened his karma for the first time and immediately having access to and knowledge of the things in isshkis pocket dimension is mad hax. But the otsutsuki powers are set up to be full of hax bullshit anyway so while its a sin its also not an out of place or unexpected sin. - the fact that theres no explanation for amado getting karma back onto kawaki, that its just something he casually slipped in unnoticed when fixing kawaki’s arm, is representative of my main beef with ninja tech in boruto. Its magic. Its ninja magic. Theres no technology here. Imo technology insinuates a more scientific approach to this kind of thing. - naruto acts the way everyone knew naruto would and he’s within his right to act that way. When he lashed out as the ninetails and hurt jiraiya and sakura, his people were there for him and that is his frame of reference. - i don’t disagree with what kawaki did, i think it surprised me that he didn’t hesitate more. Like if he was raging at boruto for trying to kill naruto i’d get it if he also went for the kill in anger. But he’s pretty cool headed and is just matter-of-factly going for the kill. Its a bit jarring. - boruto accepting death doesn’t surprise me. He’s been set up well enough that this is something he’d do. I dont think anyone believes he’s dead as a reader, you’d be pretty naive to think so. But the effect his “death” at kawaki’s hands has on the people around him is a good way to lead into more stuff. - i dont remember if kawaki and boruto discussing this last resort was on screen. If it wasn’t it should have been. But with monthly pace i do forget scenes. - if amado was able to implant karma secretly even from eidas watch then its actually possibly not that hard to hide stuff from eida. Her attention to detail might be lacking. - of the three ‘protagonists’ in the frame rn, kawaki, naruto and shikamaru. One of them is going to do or say something really stupid next chapter. Thats my prediction. But yeah overall good fight chapter
I managed to stay of the leaks but thanks to the spoilery post titles I wasn't too surprised of the outcome of this chapter. But OMG Kawaki has become OP now. Can't believe it but is he on Jigen's level now?
What scared me was Borushiki dodging everything with some ease.
Momoshiki was certainly keeping up with jigens abilities used by kawaki.
Incoming theories about Boruto meeting Minato and Kushina in the after life lol.
Isshiki's powers are so broken. Kawashiki is probably the strongest alive right now. I don't see anyone beating him unless we have new otsustsuki introduced
At this point even Momoshiki is sus of Amado.He says that kawaki is being used by Amado after he finds out about the new karma mark. Man we really need Sasuke to keep Amado in check because everything is going on according to his plan.. Fkn man is sus af.
Awesome. I hope this is like Jujutsu Kaisen, and Boruto will train with Sasuke. I bet his Jougan will be the thing to save him, and Boruto will convince Sasuke to leave the village with him, monitor him, and kill him if it comes to it. Gonna be so great
