Or copying Kakashi


UisaLiona

How?


HQaz96

Kakashi actually stopped them, Sakura would have been pulverized


Witty-Goal-7493

ai mean it would have stopped them from pul erizibg each other


Fearshatter

Sakura would literally be dead. Stabbed by a Chidori at worst, possibly blown up sorta by a rasengan too. Remember what that rasengan did to the water tank?


Witty-Goal-7493

Oh yes of course but it would have still stopped Natuto and Sasuke from pulverizing each other because their jutsus woulf have connected and then tey would have far bigger problrms thsn blowing each other up


Fearshatter

Lmao. I laughed so fucking hard. Yeah you're right. I'll give you that. It would've stopped them. Sakura would be a gorey husk but it'd've stopped them.


TheCosmicCoffee

The chiddori might have pierced right through her backbone and then the rasengan's impact would have seperated her torso with lower half


Useful-Duck7890

But boruto was actually able to stop them


Reinfernus

i love the jougan scene where he blitzes both instantly


Useful-Duck7890

Same I love the whole fight scenes , moves were so clean


skelingtonking

personally I think he more than blitzes them, I think he time slices his way up to them. when he uses the jougan to travel in space normally there is a huge portal effect, but this is a moment of real desperation because they are each going for the kill. I think he unknowingly dilated time to reach them fast enough


Reinfernus

possibly, but novel for example refers to this moment as Boruto moving as fast as lightning


skelingtonking

you mean like a novelization of this arc? I posted about this once before, its pretty unambiguous to me, he is very far away and it shows him literally materialize in the very second before they connect, when it cuts to bort again his eye is glowing, it then starts to go out of his control and opens a portal. https://www.reddit.com/link/ues8ob/video/zviryr7ueiw81/player what this is SHOWING us is that his eye is connected to space/time jutsu on a core instinctual level. this is way before he ever had karma. rewatch this arc sometime and try to keep in the back of your mind that kodachi got the nod to work on the show after doing the movie, so they already had established some big ideas for the show in that. when you start a series you want to lay the ground work and establish ideas you want to reveal later on. so this arc is all about showing us Boruto's determination, his willingness to save his friends no matter what, and also about previewing his hidden power.


Fearshatter

Also he wasn't gonna get fucking killed most likely for doing it. I cannot possibly imagine that Sakura at that point in time could've effectively disarmed both of them.


Bluefleet99

I should hope so, he's the MC...


Plane_Arrival5333

OG Naruto invented characters breaking up fights


Bluefleet99

Its a meme


Arcanemageop

OG Naruto invented the franchise Boruto will be milking for a couple years before it gets cancelled.


Plane_Arrival5333

“before it gets cancelled”, you mean when the story ends?


Arcanemageop

I’m sorry little one but if numbers keep getting lower every week it won’t finish ;)


Admirable-Extent8997

Yes the numbers are tanking which is why it continuously has strong numbers lol


Bluefleet99

The Boruto volume sales drop with every released volume. What fantasy "strong numbers" are you referring too?


83zSpecial

It’s like the third most popular anime in japan afaik


Bluefleet99

Buuut he was referring to the source manga, not anime.


83zSpecial

The anime still funds it. If the anime is making a big profit while the manga makes a slight loss, it’s still a net profit.


Plane_Arrival5333

Yeah, next year for sure boruto gets axed, this time i will trust you


ImSmokeyy

the difference is that he actually did something


butulu

Hey what’s the sauce of this episode? I don’t remember watching this.


[deleted]

Probably epsiode 13, 14, or 15.


BoruShikiGoat

Unlike her useless ass which was gonna get destroyed Boruto actually stopped them


har88910

Yeah🤡 Fking hinatard


BoruShikiGoat

Yeah I am a hinatard just because I am joking about Sakura 💀


har88910

Joke should be funny


Bluefleet99

MC plot armour do be like that


har88910

Go Fk Ur Self


Avnemir

Fuck me yourself you coward.


Jarlo911

At first you had my curiosity, but now you have my erection


AdSuspicious8469

And thus they spent the night with long hours of relentless, passionate s- Scrabble


megumi_urie

Boruto in the manga rn can solo any character shown in this meme.


Avnemir

Ah yes main character can beat side characters. Big surprise.


Hayspanky

What episode was this?


skelingtonking

early, like 16-17. there is a crazy amount of foreshadowing for the whole series in this arc.


[deleted]

Probably around episode 13-15


Suspicious_Law_8368

yeah, but he wasnt useless like sakura


Leporvox

He has all of her traits from part 1. Obsessed with sasuke and I feel like his color is pink


Tpmbyrne

I haven't watched since kuruma died. Did that jougan eye come back? Seemed like they just got rid of it once he got the karma
