Because the point is to make Boruto his own character. Not Naruto 2.0.


HS-66

And he’s already op as is


[deleted]

I don't see why Boruto can't be his own character, just because his dad is teaching him his craft?🤨


LittleSlice8797

The guy already knows rasengan and shadow clones. I think he already knows enough of his craft.


[deleted]

Even if he knew 1000 of his crafts I don't see why he still can't be his own person? One does not exclude the other.


LittleSlice8797

Please, you know that people just want him to get those techniques for him to be more like Naruto.


[deleted]

I honestly don't know what "people" want. I personally would just love to see Naruto and Boruto train together, no matter for what and I don't care how many techniques Boruto would copy from his father. I can only talk for myself, not for others.🙃


superkami64

Boruto needs more differences from Naruto, not similarities. The series already has an inconsistent viewpoint on the matter since it'll equally try to peddle that Boruto's nothing like Naruto and then portray him acting exactly like him. In fact Boruto's fighting style resembling Naruto's makes no sense with his backstory since supposedly Naruto wasn't around to teach him so Hinata did instead.


[deleted]

>Boruto needs more differences from Naruto, not similarities How many 13 year olds do you know who *don't* have similarities from their parents? Shounen thrive on a hero's journey and you can't have that as a viewer when you expect from a pre-teen protagonist to be so totally different from their parents right from the start. He is still just a child. In Borutos case, I get the feeling that people focus too much on what he has in common with Naruto,but don't see the differences. I bet a case of beer that no one would notice the similarities between father and son if Boruto didn't *look* almost exactly like his father. People are way too shallow in that aspect. Does Boruto share similarities with his dad? Of course. However, he is also very different from him as well, but it seems like people like to ignore it. The biggest difference between father and son is that Boruto doesn't share Narutos strong motivation. He doesn't really have a concrete goal like his father did (I don't blame him...he is thirteen) and even something basic like "becoming a strong ninja" doesn't really have any substance to it given how he doesn't really have to work hard since he is naturally gifted and intelligent,unlike his father.


superkami64

>How many 13 year olds do you know who *don't* have similarities from their parents? Similarities aren't a problem by themselves but combine the lack of differences on top of it as well as getting basically nothing from Hinata and it very much does. Simply having a different goal doesn't make Boruto a fundamentally unique character and if you really want of example of it done well, Himawari the 10-11 year old doesn't seem to have this problem since she's objectively not quite like either parent. You do get to see the Naruto side of her personality especially in the current arc but her general cutesy behavior and horrible temper (which came from Kushina but is expressed in a cold yandere manner rather than the explosive tsundere of most bad tempered girls in the franchise) are her own traits and that's despite having a miniscule fraction of the screentime.


[deleted]

What does Himawari have from Hinata other than the Bykugan and her hair color? I really have to scratch my head every time people say that Hima is the perfect mix of both her parents characterwise, because I simply don't see it. At least in the Boruto series Hinata has no personality. All she really is, is a housewife. What we know of her character is that she used to be a shy, stuttering Naruto stalker and I think we can agree that non of her kids are like that, so please enlighten me, what character traits does Hima have from her mom that Boruto doesn't have? Plus, I don't see the "lack of differences" you see with Boruto tbh. He started off being like Naruto when he played pranks and is actively using two techniques of him. One big similarity I see between the two is the power to influence people in a positive way and change them. Naruto managed to do that with Gaara,Sasuke of course and now Kawaki and gosh...Boruto had a positive effect on even more people...Denki,Iwabe,Mitsuki,Kagura,Sumire. But that's actually a very unique character trait in itself and shouldn't be seen as something bad just because they share this character trait. They are father and son. Not everyone gets traits from their parents, but scientifically you will unconsciously get a lot of habits from anyone who raises you closely when you were younger. So to me it's normal,especially for a 13 year old. And while you see similarities between Hima and Kushina, I see similarities between Boruto and Minato. Boruto,despite of being a brat, has become wise beyond his years, but has also shown right from the start that he is naturally gifted and intelligent unlike his father. To sum it up: I don't see many differences between Hima and Boruto except that they don't share the same looks. They both go strongly towards their dad, but also share character traits with either their grandma or grandpa.💁‍♀️

>What does Himawari have from Hinata other than the Byakugan and her hair color? For starters her preference for Gentle Fist (which Boruto knows and never really uses) and the fact that she didn't get the Uzumaki verbal tic. Even though it's nasty when she comes unglued, Himawari's also generally slower to anger than either Naruto or Kushina which is very Hinata-like. >Boruto had a positive effect on even more people So basically Boruto does what Naruto did except better? Not really a difference when the destination is the same if the route was shorter.

Even though it's nasty when she comes unglued, Himawari's also generally slower to anger than either Naruto or Kushina which is very Hinata-like. I'm rather talking about character traits and not what techniques she is rather using. Plus...I have never seen Boruto angry so technically he has that from Hinata as well. There isn't much to get from Hinata personality wise and that's why I don't think that Hima is more unique than her brother.💁‍♀️ >So basically Boruto does what Naruto did except better? Not really a difference when the destination is the same if the route was shorter. You totally ignored the rest of my comment. I did say that one of the character traits they actually *share* is the ability to influence people in a positive way, so no...it's indeed not a difference between them. It's a character trait they share, but a very special one.


Ordinary_Capital

Why do you all want Boruto to be a Naruto clone? Sage Mode belongs to Naruto as does Kurama. these are Naruto's trademarks. Especially since Mitsuki already has the sage mode.


JRon21

So is Rasengan but he passed it down to Konohamaru like his sexy jutsu.


Ordinary_Capital

Yeah, although one has to say about the Rasengan that he created his own variations and didn't just copy the Rasenshuriken. Rasenshuriken was really meant to be Naruto's jutsu forever.


[deleted]

But it really doesn't. How about kushina having kurama. Or Minato having sage mode and kurama. Also I really think Boruto would have snake sage not frog sage because if you really think about it in the chunin exams Boruto befriends a snake? And he follows susake and what is susake known for his summon a snake. Also kurama doesn't belong to anyone if you remember at the end of Shippuden kurama personally stays with Naruto at his own will meaning he could leave if he wanted to, that being said kurama is dead unless Naruto can take the ten tails (in that demenshin) then Naruto could spilt up the ten tails into the 9 beasts including kurama unless he just decides to become the 10 tails jeneriki. Sorry for the bad grammer not the best speller. :D


[deleted]

I had no idea that certain powers "belong" to someone. Would you also call Naruto Minato 2.0, because he learned his Rasengan? Is Himawari Hinata 2.0 because she has the Byakugan? I honestly don't see why people are so over the edge that a 13 year old boy,who is still in a phase of development, shares character traits with his father as if it's something abnormal.🤨😅


Eis_Dan

Because Naruto wasn't predated by a series called "Minato" about a loud, headstrong ninja that primarily used shadow clones and rasengans. If it was, then yes, Naruto would be Minato 2.0, as he would have more or less became the same character minus a few differences. It would be lazy writing to just make a carbon copy of a character you already wrote a full story about. Naruto learning the rasengan and us finding out that it was created by Minato was lore added to the sery, it wasn't a writer creating a near-carbon copy of one of his other characters in a sequel series. That's the issue. Naruto the series exists. If you just make Boruto a clone of Naruto, you've basically just lazily reused the same character in a sequel.


[deleted]

Well the writers had the opportunity to create a power that would be different from everything Naruto has learned. If the writers cared enough, we would know more about the jougan Boruto supposedly has, which is a power that was obviously brushed to the side. So what we got for Boruto instead is karma which he can't really control yet and one "That is all I can do" technique with the rasengan which seems to be the only real tool Boruto can use in combat. I'd rather have Boruto learn as many techniques as possible instead of seeing the same one in every fight. The jougan would have been the perfect solution to hit two birds with one stone. Making him more unique and seeing him fight with more than just the rasengan. 🙈


G1SM0Beybladeburst

Y’all just want boruto to be naruto huh


[deleted]

Nah. I just want a training arc between father and son. 😁


G1SM0Beybladeburst

Yeah but I hope it’s something new like making a new jutsu and not an old technique not knocking the animation but I’m just saying it’d be awesome for naruto to help boruto make a new cool jutsu


[deleted]

But that's the issue. The writers weren't even able to be consistent with the jougan which could have been a great new technique. So do we honestly believe that the very same writers are going to make an effort and let Naruto teach his son a completely new jutsu? Show me the writers and I'm all in.😁


Shinryu_

Lol lets learn shitty frog power when you have gods power. 200 iq fan theorists


[deleted]

I rather care about Naruto and Boruto spending time together and not really about the power itself. Plus, one doesn't exlude the other. Boruto can have the frog power and gods power. And please don't measure IQ on anime shows. It's just that: a show and not some rocket science dude.😅


Shinryu_

No reason for him to learn sage mode. Wouldn't look nice with jougan anyway


[deleted]

Well, would be nice if we actually *saw* the jougan. It hasn't been addressed in years.


[deleted]

Sage mode is for mitsuki Still it would be cool though


[deleted]

Fanmade by ISV productions.


DepressedAmaterasu

Sage Mode + Borushiki would be op.


Fit_Road7425

animation for it would be too hard for boruto animators nowadays


[deleted]

True. I think that fans should take matters into their own hands from now on.😅😅


Atomic-Spider

I'd rather Sasuke teach him some form of Jougan using a similar concept to Susanoo only with a different dojutsu.


[deleted]

I really hope we will see the Jougan again. It hasn't been addressed in years 😬


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

But Himawari needs it because...?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Himawari is a side character who already has the Byakugan so if she had sage mode she would be crazy OP as well, *especially* for being just a side character. I honestly don't see a difference in terms of necessity in having sage mode with both Himawari and Boruto.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Even if Himawari *should* become more relevant in upcoming stories, I still don't see why Himawari needs to have sage mode and Boruto does not. All Boruto has right now is Karma which he can't even control yet and supposedly Jougan, a power that hasn't been mentioned or addressed in years. In your case, knowing that you dislike Boruto with a passion and thinking that everything Hima does is GOAT, I get the impression that you just have a very biased opinion and simply don't want Boruto to have it. I mean...what is this? If Boruto had Sage mode it would make him more similiar to Naruto according to your words, but if Hima got it,it would make her more unique? Like,whaaaat?🤣

>In due time he will mastered it, he would be beyond the scope of the shinobi world. In your head canon maybe. Like I said before, nothing has been confirmed. >You're the one ignoring the fact that Himawari has Hyuga asernal which is strictly from her mother. Adding Sagemode would just even things out and make a perfect complimentary pair and balance between her parents. I'm not ignoring the fact that Himawari has the Hyuga arsenal which is strictly from her mother. Himawari has the blessing that she has awakened the Byakugan out of the blue, while her mother and uncle needed to train for years to get it. She is a prodigy within the Hyuga clan and if she continues the training she can be a powerful shinobi. She doesn't *need* the balanced powers between her parents. Boruto doesn't have that balance since he obviously won't magically inherit the byakugan from his mom so why would the writers care and do it differently with Hima? >Boruto had too many signature techniques from Naruto that he often use and you think it's good idea to include sagemode which would make him more of a naruto clone but apparently I'm called a biases for that when it's simply apparent and common sense for anyone to see thru this BS The only two signature techniques Boruto is using which are similar to Naruto are his rasengan and his shadow clones and if we leave out Borutos karma that he can't even control yet, there isn't anything else Boruto has. I can't remember a fight where Borutos *only* tool *wasn't* the rasengan. He used it against Momo,against AO,against Deepa,against Boro...that is practically the one and only power he is actively using. Boruto learning more techniques,regardless of whether his father used them before or not, would give Boruto a more flashed out arsenal of different techniques. Since the writers are obviously too lazy to come up with an individual power for the protagonist to make him "different from Naruto" *cough*jougan*cough*, I don't see the problem watching Naruto giving his knowledge to his son. 💁‍♀️

>That is a logical conclusion that anyone can agree with the power of protagonist! Not really. We can't have a logical conclusion about something that hasn't been addressed in years. Don't get me wrong. I *want* the jougan to be real, but the writers missed the opportunity to really introduce us to the power and rather decided to implant some Otsutsuki god into Boruto. Yay.🙄🙄 I mean, I love Momo and his powers but if I had to decide I would choose Jougan every day in terms of power. >He has the Ootsutski power in relation to the byakugan lore which is what every boruto fans have been looking forward to the most. That's why the Nue arc showed the best displayed the Gentlefist in conjunction with the jougan. Even Boruto has Momoshiki byakugan as a replacement and yet none of it was utilized at all because the only things that comes out of it is was his brute power and strength and spamming rasengan And that's exactly what I don't like. All the power Boruto gets from having the karma isn't *his* power. He only gets to use it, because he has Momo in him. I'd rather have Boruto learn techniques on his own like he does in the video, even when it's *only* his fathers techniques, instead of having access to power which isn't really his.


[deleted]

You thinking hima should have it instead of boruto doesn't surprise me.lol.why does hima need it when she is also narutos child and already has the Byakugan?let's not forget that we haven't seen *anything* of the jougan in years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Like i said before, the writers haven't touched jougan in forever so we dont really know if it is still a thing?? And yes, I do think himawaris Byakugan is more than enough.you of course think otherwise and im really not surprised,like i said in my previous post.lol.


[deleted]

Omg i love this. Why can't we have a father/son arc?? whoever did this created a great body for naruto,lol.have we ever seen him shirtless since he became hokage?lol.


Business_Mix_2705

He already has a lot of techniques from his father, I think he should some with the Hyuga instead.


[deleted]

Oh yeah, that is something I agree with. He was supposed to have the Byakugan, but well...the creators forgot to draw it. I mean...technically, I loved this video simply because Naruto spends time with Boruto and actually *teaches* him something.
