Naruto was famous for the mysticism of its many ninjas, but Boruto’s focus on sci-fi elements actually makes the series better.
Although many fans consider naruto superior to its sequel boruto: naruto next generation, There is a fundamental problem with your criticism. The problem seems to be that fans wanted more of the same in the sequel, instead of exploring a new direction. In short, fans wanted more Naruto, Sasuke, and other of their favorite characters in new adventures as the current generation of senior leaders of Konoha Village. However, if fans were willing to look further, they would find that the sequel series expands on the original by unraveling. of naruto focus on mysticism and replace it with something much more cyberpunk.
Throughout his career, naruto technology largely ignored. Instead, he focused on supernatural action, ninja mythology, and martial arts. Still, there were some aspects of technology, such as glimpses of satellite communications, televisions, and computers. However, it was clear that the series was not trying to be a science fiction manga. However, the peace enjoyed after the Fourth Shinobi War led to an expansion of of naruto technology that would make Iron Man jealous. In the space of a few years, the technology in the naruto universe catapulted from rudimentary, everyday technology to biochemical and occult technology that could transfer the soul of an alien into a human body.
What’s been even more interesting than the explosion of cutting-edge ninja technology is that the manga has gone decidedly cyberpunk, as illustrated by the cyborgs of Kara, Boro, Delta, Eida, Daemon, and Code. borutoThe cyborgs of , however, expand the boundaries of cyberpunk by adding aspects of magic and mysticism to the traditional cyberpunk idea of the integration of flesh, computers, and metal. By doing so, the manga updates and updates the naruto universe making it more suitable for the current generation of manga readers.
Curiously, boruto‘s cyborgs could turn out to be what naruto and of boruto creator, Masashi Kishimoto, always wanted to write. In fact, Kishimoto has previously stated his interest in and appreciation of how technology has been interpreted in the manga. As a young man, Kishimoto’s “favorite movie of all time” is that of Otomo Katsuhiro. Akira. He credits the film’s billboard single-handedly reignited his desire to draw after a period in which he was seriously debating whether he really wanted to be a mangaka.
While it is understandable that some naruto fans will never be able to provide boruto the same degree of respect and appreciation that they give to the previous series. This is certainly common for most sequels to a franchise as popular as naruto. However, just because they don’t like it boruto doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s just different. Currently one of the biggest differences between naruto and boruto it is the introduction of a cyborg story that finally gives the manga a “voice” of its own.
