So I watched 74 episodes so far I was realizing more and more how this series kind of irritates me for certain reasons. Firstly Boruto really annoys me and not just because of what happened in the beginning when he didnt respect or understood his dad Naruto. I understood the reasons for that. I think its how they were developing his character. Hes cocky and unruly I know thats a bit harsh to say but thats how I feel right now. The reason for this is how he doesnt think of the consequences of his actions like time of the chunin exams when he used the ninja tools fully aware that he was cheating and also getting into situations that could have got him killed but that plot armor protecting him. The recent one when he tries to find Mitsuki fully aware that the Hokage Naruto issued an order that anyone who leaves the village is going to classified as a rogue ninja. When Naruto was chasing Sasuke he at least had permission to do so as a mission to bring him back. Boruto doesnt get punished at all from these decisions even though he should have been. And this brings me into my other reason Nostalgia. Naruto chases Sasuke and Boruto chases Mitsuki. Like Father like Son. Because its essentially a sequel of NARUTO might as well say remake at this point I cant help but compare it to the previous season. I keep wanting to see more the old characters again and see them getting some action. While its a peaceful time I dont think Boruto and the rest of the new generation are going to be stronger than the old ones because the harsh training they used to have. You have to had noticed that the chunin exams were a joke compared to the previous ones. Genins risk their lives in those exams and this one didnt have an epic tournament arc at all since the only one who seemed to be close to the strength from back then was Gaaras son. They also tried to do similar scenes that happened in Naruto at the end too. And the major upset was how they tried to fit Boruto in the fight with Momoshiki who wasnt even as strong as Kaguya. Sasuke probably noticed Borutos special ability to teleport the rasengan but that wasnt the real reason he would bring him to the fight. Think about it why would you bring a genin to fight a powerful foe like that and they also purposely lessen Narutos power at the time so they could find a way to give Boruto some recognition. Its his show now not this dads. Not trying to say it was a bad idea but if Sasuke had said he had planned on Borutos ability to defeat the enemy then it was going to be a great strategy and reason to bring him but he didnt. Theres a bit more but those are the two main reasons. Its hard to not compare Boruto to Naruto. It feels like Im trying to find the same sensation of Naruto from Boruto which lessens my enjoyment even though I try not to. So I decided to stop watching for the time being or until he becomes a teen when the story furthers on and things changed.
