r/BorutoUnfiltered

Can someone please explain to me exactly what they find wrong with the Boruto series? I keep seeing posts here about how it's bad and inconsistent, etc. But ever since I started reading the Manga (skipped fillers in the anime), I have never seen anything wrong with it. I see no inconsistency with the Naruto series or even with itself. And the power scaling is no different from how it is in the Naruto series. So why do people complain and look down on it?

Delta fanart I painted recently.

Currently rereading the nng manga and looking back at this scene code was actually onto something 🤔...

Yep, Code might've said that out of frustration or something , but it actually foreshadowed the kawaki's situation in TBV kinda, how amado was the one leading him around...😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

I already made a post about a possible scientific theory behind Hidan's jutsu. However, I also like to analyze the episodes and try to find possible solutions to the problems the characters face.

In Naruto Shippuden Episodes 77–79, we see Team Asuma, composed of Shikamaru, Asuma, Izumo and Kotetsu, fighting Hidan and Kakuzu.

During the specific scene where Hidan creates Jashin's ritual symbol on the ground using blood, something popped into my mind.

The series explains that Hidan has to ingest his opponent's blood and stand inside the ritual circle to activate his curse.

However, it never explains how the ritual itself works or how it could be stopped.

Shikamaru eventually defeats him by cutting him into pieces and burying him underground, but that's after Asuma had already died.

So, what if we could simply distort the symbol?

Does it really need to stay perfectly intact?

If the symbol gets reshaped or partially erased, would the ritual become ineffective?

Even if that's not the case, what if we simply distorted the ground where the symbol was drawn?

If we go with this idea, Shikamaru's team could have prevented Asuma's death.

Let me explain.

Looking at Team Asuma, we can see that Izumo is a Water Release user.

Now imagine this.

Instead of using Water Style directly against Hidan, Izumo uses it on the ground where Hidan is standing.

The water would mix with the soil, creating mud. Besides diluting the blood used to draw the ritual circle, it would also deform the symbol itself, potentially making Hidan unable to use his technique.

If Hidan's ritual depends on the symbol remaining complete, then this could completely shut down his curse.

With this, Asuma's team could have taken advantage of the situation and defeated him, successfully completing the mission without Asuma losing his life.

Of course, this is just a theory, since Kishimoto never explained whether the ritual circle has to remain intact after activation. But if it does, then Water Release could have been one of the biggest counters to Hidan's jutsu.

Hey guys, here Gloraxy!

This post is mainly for people who enjoy theories, speculation, or at least the idea of applying some physics concepts to anime.

If you prefer to keep Naruto entirely within its established mystical/canonical rules, you can probably stop reading here.

Also, I'm going to use some physics analogies throughout this post.

None of this is meant to be taken literally or as a claim about how Amaterasu canonically works. I'm just trying to find a hypothetical "futuristic physical" interpretation for some of its properties.

With that said, here's a thought I recently had about Amaterasu.

We know Amaterasu produces black flames that are incredibly difficult to extinguish and are said to burn for seven days.

But normal fire doesn't work like that.

Fire is a chemical reaction. It needs fuel and an oxidizer to keep going. Eventually, the reaction stops.

So how does Amaterasu keep burning for days?

This made me think about something already established in Naruto, the famous Kamui.

The Mangekyō Sharingan can interact with another dimension.

So what if Amaterasu works on a similar principle?

What if the user isn't actually creating the fire in our dimension?

Instead, the Sharingan could be establishing some kind of connection to another spatial domain and bringing that phenomenon into the exact point the user is looking at.

What i'm trying to say is that the eye identifies the coordinates, establishes the connection and Amaterasu manifests there.

That could also explain the seven day duration.

Maybe the fire isn't continuously burning fuel in our reality. Maybe the actual phenomenon exists somewhere else (for example in Obito's dimension, in a totally different area. This might create an interesting connection between Itachi's and Obito's mangekyō sharingans ), and what we see is only its manifestation here.

If time or the rate of the process differs between those spaces, something that lasts seconds there could potentially appear to last days here.

Then there's the weirdest part.

Why is the fire black?

Black means very little visible light reaches our eyes, but that doesn't necessarily mean the phenomenon has little energy.

Perhaps most of its radiation is being emitted into the other spatial domain, while only part of it interacts with our reality.

So what we perceive as "black flames" could simply be the part of the phenomenon that crosses into our dimension.

And this would make the Mangekyō's ocular damage even more interesting.

The eye wouldn't simply be generating fire.

It would be locating, connecting, transferring and controlling a phenomenon across dimensions.

Again, purely speculative, but worth analysing.

Hope you liked it!

I feel like this post was a bit too short considering how much I want to explore with this idea. So I’m planning to keep developing it and digging deeper into the concept in future posts.

Thanks for your attention!
