Let’s stop pretending.
Boruto is not a worthy sequel.
It’s not even decent.
It’s a soulless cash grab that rode on Naruto’s back, drained the last drops of nostalgia from a golden legacy — and gave us… whatever this is.
It’s a bland, commercialized, dumbed-down cartoon made to milk nostalgia and sell flashy animations to a new generation of kids who never lived through the emotional, philosophical, and legendary experience that was Naruto.
🧡 Naruto: The GOAT of Anime
Naruto didn’t just grow up — he made an entire generation grow up with him.
From the kid who was shunned by his village to the hero who saved the world, every moment of Naruto was earned — through pain, sacrifice, heartbreak, and raw determination.
Naruto wasn’t just about ninjas.
It was about trauma, war, love, loss, betrayal, redemption, peace, and purpose.
Every arc was a lesson.
Every villain had a story.
Every quote hit deep:
- “People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define “reality”. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Merely vague concepts … their “reality” may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?” – Uchiha Itachi
- “Those who do not understand true pain can never understand true peace.” – Nagato (Pain)
- “When people get hurt, they learn to hate… When people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow… and how you grow is up to you.” – Jiraiya
And let’s not forget the classics:
- “I’m not a pervert… I’m a super pervert!!!” – Jiraiya-sensei, king of balance between humor and wisdom.
This anime had soul.
It had depth.
It made you cry, laugh, and rethink your entire worldview.
You could rewatch Pain’s speech about justice, Itachi’s final words to Sasuke, or Kakashi’s quote about friends over rules a million times and never get bored.
🎵 The Music That Gave Us Chills
Tell me this:
Does Boruto have anything — anything — that even touches this:
-
“Sign” by FLOW
-
“Sadness and Sorrow” (Naruto OST)
-
“Departure to the Front Lines”
-
“Girei (Pain’s Theme)” – still gives chills.
- …
Naruto’s music wasn’t just background. It was a spiritual layer of the story.
You heard the first few notes and knew something epic or heartbreaking was coming.
Boruto? Generic beats for generic scenes. Disposable. Forgettable.
🤡 Boruto: The TikTok Version of Naruto
Let’s be real: Boruto is a joke.
A whiny, spoiled main character with zero charisma.
A storyline that desecrates the original cast — turning Naruto, Sasuke, and others into irrelevant background props.
Villains with the depth of a teaspoon and names like they’re rejected Dragon Ball Z drafts.
Power scaling so broken, literal children are outclassing Naruto-level threats in a few episodes.
They tried to sell us “Naruto 2.0” with fancy animations and alien gods, but forgot the most important part: soul.
Boruto isn’t a continuation.
It’s fanfiction with a budget.
A cheap cosplay of a legendary story.
🧠 Even Kishimoto Couldn’t Save It
Yes, they brought back Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, to write Boruto again after realizing Ikemoto (his assistant) was butchering everything.
Too late.
The damage was done.
You can’t polish a story that was soulless from the start.
📉 Boruto Will Never Have What Naruto Had
Naruto was a global phenomenon.
It had culture. Impact. Soul.
It made men cry.
It made kids dream.
Boruto?
It made us realize how wrong sequels can go when they’re created for profit, not passion.
There’s a reason Boruto still hasn’t earned universal acclaim, even with all the marketing and flashy battles.
No one’s quoting Boruto villains.
No one’s humming Boruto’s OST.
No one’s having deep debates about Boruto’s “philosophy” — because it has none.
🏆 Naruto Will Always Be the Greatest
Naruto didn’t need flashy gods and cosmic nonsense.
He had real stakes.
Real friends.
Real enemies.
And a message that still makes grown fans cry:
“I never go back on my word… that’s my nindō.”
We grew up with him.
We believed in him.
And that will never be replaced.
🏁 Final Words
Naruto ended.
And it should have stayed ended.
It ended with pain, peace, meaning, tears, and beauty.
Boruto is just the commercial aftertaste — a cartoon pretending to be a continuation.
So let’s be honest:
🗑️ Boruto is the worst anime/manga sequel ever made.
🥇 Naruto is the best of all time. And forever will be.
