Boruto is the walmart version of Naruto

[Orojackson Refugee]

I am pretty sure everyone here already notices it, but it's really saddening to see a series, that used to be the top 3 in manga list, to fall and become this irredeemable fan fiction tier writing. The art is unsalvageable, as the characters in Boruto don't remotely resemble what the original characters used to look like. It also has poor anatomy drawing and many allegation for trace drawing. The story and writing here doesn't help either. It tries to ripoff the eye power concept and fails deliberately (karma eye design). The way the author portrayed the conflict from the antagonist is lame. The antagonists are stronger just because they have greater strength and faster compare that to how madara or pain were portrayed, as we could see the upscale feats in fresh manner (new jutsu with larger scale, unique skills).

If boruto is not a legacy from naruto, this series would already be axed in the first 10 chapters

They should have jumped forward like 50 yrs when Naruto Sasuke etc are either dead or old men. Any shows that picks up directly with the the next gen is usually bad. Look at Korra in the air bender verse. They tried a little but the show is not as good as the original.

Honestly man, Samurai 8 had better writing, better design and better everything than Boruto. Sadly, it didn't make it through to the mainstream.

Dojutsu ruined Naruto. When the series started, at first, it made sense. The Byakugan gives you thr ability to see vital points and nearly 360* vision, and the Sharingan allows you to copy a Jutsu and intense focus. Useful powers, sure, but not broken.

But then came the Magnekyo Sharingan and that's where things started going sour. The three or four powers, Danzo literally putting them in his arm (where's the optic fiber connect there, Kishi?)

And then came the Rinnegan and things were ruined. Not ONE of its twenty fucking powers actually correlates to vision at all! And it's got so much stupid powers associated with it!

So, of course, Boruto introduced more of the fucking things.

Naruto peaked after Kisame and Konan died.

We can all agree here that the original Naruto ended with a satisfying conclusion, yes?

The story tied up its major arcs, the characters reached the end of their journeys, and nothing truly demanded a follow-up. But for some reason, Kishimoto and his team decided that a sequel needed to be made, and in doing so, they unraveled much of what the original series had established by the end of it.

Instead of continuing in a way that respected the established world, Boruto began introducing new characters and villains who somehow rival Naruto and Sasuke with both being supposed to be presented the literal Supermen of the entire setting by the end of Naruto, after years of continuous development throughout their arcs and receiving each half of the powers of a god. Those powers being from someone that's supposed to powerscale directly to a world-ending threat capable of creating and manipulating entire dimensions. This sudden parity strips away the impact of their development and reduces them to just another pair of strong fighters among many.

This power inflation directly affects the younger cast, with Boruto, Sarada, and their peers being presented as having feats that vastly surpass those of the previous generation’s genin and even the jōnin, which feels like a leap in power that feels unearned and disconnected from the logical progression of the series.

The problems are not just in the writing. The manga’s art quality has taken a noticeable step down compared to its predecessor. Even in the early 2000s, Naruto’s artwork was richer in detail, more dynamic in style, and more consistent in quality than what Boruto delivers in its latest chapters. This visual decline only reinforces the sense that the sequel lacks the same care and craftsmanship that defined the original.

Boruto doesn’t feel like a necessary continuation, but rather a sequel comparable to fanfiction, and it is one that is currently being mishandled as an extension that dilutes the legacy of its original characters, undermines the story that came before it, and fails to match the artistic or narrative standards set by its predecessor.
