They claim boruto loves Sarada romantically back but there’s nothing that proves Boruto loves Sarada romantically. It’s only Sarada which is why we say it’s onesided which I know they HATE it but it’s the truth.

-> It’s Sarada who always throws herself at Boruto by either being physical or trying to protect him.

-> Sarada only blushes not boruto.

-> It’s Sarada who makes a confession to Sumire about Boruto.

All the manga panels I shown here with potential romantic hints is coming from Sarada side ONLY not from boruto’s yet there was no confirmation that they like each other until Sarada recently says she likes boruto.

it’s crazy is Sarada only blushed in embarrassment most of the time when people ask her if she likes boruto and she denies it and blushed when she hugged boruto out of embarrassment in tbv, also in tbv things get more romantic and she doesn’t even blush when confirming to Sumire she likes boruto, she doesn’t blush when Ada ask when she is confessing to him, not even the thought of confessing to him, she doesn’t have the intention to confess, she doesn’t blush at wanting boruto to know her feelings in fact she DOESN’T want him to know about her feelings yet Sumire wants it to be known even if it’s a bad time and she is serious so it’s shown who’s feelings are stronger.

That’s a huge Red Flag for borusara ship.

On boruto side it’s always-

-> He never blushed around her, in the manga version when Sarada said about his eyes, he didn’t blush but only in the movie version!

-> He treats her no differently than anybody else except Sumire.

-> Him protecting Sarada because she’s his teammate/master daughter.

-> Him protecting her because of the promise he made her.

-> Him obligated to watch over her as that was sasuke’s wish.

This is why they’re somewhat Narusaku coded throughout the anime and tbv manga! But only on a surface, while theyre like SasuIno because Sarada feelings aren’t taken seriously as she doesn’t make to effort to get boruto and she and Sumire love rivalry is like Ino and Sakura’s.

his promise WASN’T a declaration of love. Why? Because Boruto still treats Sarada no different than he has before, he doesn’t really treat her special when saving her, that’s the type of person boruto is, he saved so many people like his classmates and people outside the village and now I feel like his promise to protect her was definitely replaced by sasuke’s wish.

You know what’s funny? Is boruto always has to protect her and Sarada wants to help him which always fails because she ends up getting hurt somehow which leads to boruto protecting her over and over again, rinse and repeat cycle. I’m not saying there is nothing wrong with protecting someone as it is a natural thing among comrades, friends, family, you name it! BUT it genuinely gets to a point if Sarada has to get saved by boruto in every dangerous situation, as if the girl isn’t strong enough which Sarada did admit in her speech that she was weak back then, couldn’t stop all the calamities happening, thought she wasn’t extra ordinary as her father or Naruto and even if Sarada power is strong this is where we are starting to have a problem here.

Now I didn’t like the part where Sarada saved her power to protect the special person as yodo was suggesting Sarada to use her power for boruto only, which it took her like what? Until chapter 31? Or 30? To use her power to protect a civilian and its the right call because the hokage has to protect the civilians in the village as much as possible.

All what I shown is boruto protecting Sarada and it’s nothing new, nothing romantic. It’s clear he thinks of her nothing beyond a close friend/teammate.

You see what I mean ?! I’m not exaggerating at all. She constantly has to get saved by boruto A LOT in every dangerous mission/situation and IT IS NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR HER CHARACTER! which is why I don’t have high hopes for ikemoto to give her writing a redemption because ikemoto play too many games with her character and that’s why some Sarada fans feel like she’s just being reduced to a love interest and ship bait which she is! That’s why they would be scared for her to turn out to be like another kushina, have a dream of wanting to be hokage and get with the guy just for their lover to be hokage. Boruto did more worthy hokage things than Sarada ever has, which people might want to suggest him being hokage but he will turn it down and say Sarada deserves it. I think that’s the ONLY way she would receive the job unless she shows how hokage worthy she is and the village notices it.

I’m telling you kishimoto had her set up perfectly, not only was she HEAVILY goal oriented like tsunade but it’s also clear she also wanted to be hokage because of family Sarada felt like she was disconnected from her family. Another reason is because she is inspired by Naruto himself. Romantic love wasn’t what she was focusing on despite it going to be coming in later her life. That’s why I say…SUMIRE IS BUILT TO BE A LOVE INTEREST WHILE SARADA IS BUILT TO BE GOAL ORIENTED! Kishimoto wasn’t going the romantic route with borusara and in gaiden it’s obvious they were set up to be Naruto and Sasuke successors and so with that the way their relationship was going to be was already set up while boruto and Sumire relationship is meant to be set up romantically since the beginning of the boruto anime.

Boruto and Sarada had a rivalry like Naruto and Sasuke but healthy. The potential relationship with Sarada and Naruto could’ve been explored just like it was going to be with Boruto and Sasuke but then I think the problem was Kawaki coming in.

That’s why I’m not expecting for borusara to happen because their dreams are already conflicting, listen you borusara shippers, just because boruto is in good terms with his father doesn’t mean he doesn’t stick to what he said about the hokage stuff, he knew what it’s like for his father to be busy as hokage so why would he get with one?! There would be no time for romance between the two. If they have a family, their children would be more miserable than they ever was. So it won’t be that happily ever after love story between them as Sarada and Boruto job is more demanding while Sumire’s isn’t which is why Sumire is best suited to be with boruto as well. It’s clear that boruto won’t take the uchiha name as he always stated to be a proud uzumaki, so if Sarada takes his last name then nobody would carry the uchiha name except for Sasuke and Sakura.

She has GREAT power but again, she HAD to get saved this time! I’m telling you this is the problem, we know Sarada isn’t weak but her constantly getting saved by boruto in tbv is making her look weak, all she does is be a plot device for boruto.

Nobody wants a damsel in distress and I partly blame borusara shippers for this because they WANT everything to be about boruto, her dream about boruto, her clothes, any conversation, him saving her.

The fact Sarada had to get sidelined this mission because ikemoto is busy using Sarada as shipbait because of them instead of giving what her character had potential of.

I need someone to make a rewrite for Ben x Audrey and make short story if they would’ve worked it out. If someone did PLEASEEE DONT HESITATE TO SEND ME THE LINK!!🤩

[axtrowrld]

I’m going to criticize the writing and how the characters were written in this love triangle moment and other situations they were in individually.

I was surprised the writers really to didn’t write anyone else calling out everyone’s weird behaviors which I love their actors down to the tea but…

Audrey

I don’t condone her behavior or enable it. Even in her diary I heard she treated Lonnie and Jane badly and they didn’t feel like they were really friends of Audrey so yeah she can definitely be mean like girlll Audrey pookie you can’t be doing that. She’s nice but mean too. She shouldn’t have gone this far and it’s understandable why people hate Audrey because of her actions especially when they watched this movie when they were younger(including me) but again I think the way it looks like in her pov, her feelings are valid and her diary adds more depth to her character. Like Imagine being set up with this boy since childhood to become his queen and was taught about how to hate villains, how they will never change including their children just for a villain to come in and basically steal your man😭✌️ but she did apologize to both Mal and Ben, it would’ve been nice if she made a speech to all of auradon about her wrong doings, how she treated others and apologized to Belle and the Beast face to face.

Ben…

It’s crazy how Ben went from this

To this….

Like honestly how come nobody else, not even his parents calling out Ben’s switch up which not only did he humiliated Audrey but he hurt her as well. I seen him singing the song as a breakup song but he’s also kinda like cheating on her as well. I know it’s not his fault here because he was under the spell… i thought Ben started to fall in love with mal when they showed up while Audrey is clinging onto him which I guess the cookie(love spell) was an accelerator. Now I thought I kinda blame mal here too, it’s weird to use a love spell which you know it gonna make him fall in love with you knowing he has a girlfriend, so she technically kinda and kinda didn’t steal him from Audrey but I don’t blame mal 100% because she’s just following her mother orders about getting the wand.

But what’s even crazier is how when the spell wore off after jumping into the enchanted lake, he still played into it knowing he’s not under the spell. So not ONCE did he checked on Audrey after knowing what he done?! He didn’t go to her and explained what happen and apologized or give her a proper breakup. So in D3, when Ben proposed to mal using the SAME SONG he humiliated Audrey with and Audrey was standing in the front, that was painful. When Audrey was controlled by evil magic which I think heightened that sadness and anger she had so when when came to Ben and suggested she wanted her old life back by wanting him to make her his queen, he thought someone spelled her and suggested he can fix it and Audrey says “And you what? Marry them?” Which ngl she clocked him lol but she also says “Most people get dumped because they aren’t good enough. I wasn’t Bad enough” she’s saying she felt like she wasn’t good enough when Ben left her. She felt neglected, she didn’t know what he saw in mal or what mal had that she didn’t. That’s why it made sense when she turned evil and when Ben says he wants to old Audrey back, she wouldn’t hurt Auradon, Audrey hesitated and looked kinda sad which I’m guess she didn’t want to be the girl who felt neglected. It’s crazy how she wasn’t thought of or didn’t get an apology by either of them or her grandmother until she was close to dying after her defeat put her into a sleeping spell. Matter of face, mal and Ben saying they owe Audrey an apology isn’t an apology, it’s just telling her she needs one. "Most people don't explode because they're angry. They explode because they've suppressed for too long... every time you stay silent just to keep the peace, you store a storm inside." This quote fits Audrey situation in my opinion.

Mal…

I love mal as a character and it’s not her character, but it’s the writing. What I mean is I don’t like the fact how people act like Mal can do no wrong..or rather she CAN do something wrong but so many people backed her up like she never gets held accountable. It’s sooo funny how when Uma put a love spell on Ben and mal was looking hurt, everyone wanted to back her up but when mal did it to Audrey..suddenly people didn’t feel bad and I think it’s because Audrey was a mean girl but that doesn’t excuse on that type of behavior. Like with Uma, she says she wants to get the VK’s off the isle and want them safe, she wants them to come to auradon and people acted like what she said is a bad thing. But when mal was making queen level type of decisions like wanting to close the barrier, that not only Uma didn’t want that because she wants the VK’s to be free but that was Ben’s first proclamation, that barrier opening is symbolic to him and especially when him and his parents decided to give VK’s a chance and the only time she gotten called out of her behavior was by Uma and the other VK’s. They realized mal lied to them about the barrier thing and they wasn’t messing with that. I realized that once mal is placed in a power position, everyone goes along with her decisions, no one calls out her mistakes.

I feel like the only thing mal has to apologize to Audrey for is putting the spell on Ben and breaking the relationship even though she just wanted the want at that point of time but just happened to fall in love with him and she didn’t mean for it to happen.

In D2 During mal and Ben picnic date, Ben finds out she’s still using magic, Mal tries to use a memory spell so he forgets it all. Now around D2, they put Mal on a literal Auradon flag for the cotillion, it’s supposed to represent how Mal “lost herself” trying to blend with Ben. It’s so obvious because in the beginning of the movie not only did she dyed her hair blonde but she couldn’t handle the press for asking her questions and you can tell she is trying to fit in. She couldn’t take the pressure of being a royal.

Bal is cute but I don’t like mal x Ben THAT MUCH and the Bal relationship… is bad, I really can’t lie because there’s a lot of really problematic elements to this relationship, to the point that I can’t believe it is so popular in the fandom. People think Ben x Audrey is bad or worse but it’s clear mal and Ben had a communication issue and I like to point out how I didn’t really like how mal was here and if she did spelled him, she went against his wishes, his will, Ben is busy and stressed about becoming king but he never shows it to Mal, he always wants to be the perfect prince for her. But when Ben found her spellbook and the spells she was using, he was angry that Mal had deceived him, and when he found out the truth, Mal was ready to erase his memories of it. Ben wouldn't care if Mal told him that she made it with magic because she forgot what day it was, he would even accept that. But the problem is that Mal deceived Ben more than once. At first, she said that she would give the spell book to the museum (voluntarily), but kept it for herself, then magically created food passing it off as her work, and then she was ready to remove the truth from his memories. After that, how was Ben supposed to be sure that this was the only thing he was being lied about? How can he be sure that Mal didn't clean his memories every time he found out the truth?

It's not Ben's fault that Mal was afraid to show her real self. For some reason, Mal wanted to follow the rules of Auradon, but I doubt it was Ben who told her to follow the rules because mind you she brought something new to all the locals. Ben fell in love with Mal, the villainous girl who had just arrived in Auradon, not Mal in a long dress and curled hair. People hated on Ben for this but he had the right to be angry Ben tries to keep talking about the matter but Mal refuses. Then she runs away because she “Doesn't belong there”. She doesn't tell Ben, doesn't even bother breaking up with him, she just leaves. But once again see Ben excusing Mal's abusive behavior, in D1 and then in D2. Once Ben gets told Mal went back to the Island he is the one who assumes all the blame, saying it was all his fault, that he should have been more understanding of her. It’s understandable mal wasn’t willing to change for him and despite Mal giving up on their relationship, Ben still tries to talk to her, willing to put himself in danger, Ben keeps apologizing. This is where I’m saying with the writing is weird and not the best at all especially for mal like she lied to him for weeks, when she gets caught she tries to spell Ben and doesn't take any responsibility, abandons him and then repeatedly tells him that she wants to end things and that she is not willing to try to resolve things. 

Even when Ben was under the spell Uma placed on him, she couldn’t bare seeing him happy with someone else despite pushing him away. Why is she acting like Ben is the one who broke her heart, the one who gave up on her when he’s under the spell?? Mind you She broke up with him, she abandoned him, she refused to talk to him, she told him to get away, and NOW she wants him to be understanding and forgiving?! And when the painted glass was revealed she realizes he loved the real her when he been trying to tell her that?? And it’s all because he put her green eyes and purple hair on a painting? Not because he put his life in danger for her, not because he told her he was willing to change for her. She wants him to love her “as she really is”. Why doesn't she love him like he really is?? She walked away from him the second he wasn't perfect, but she can make all the mistakes in the world and should just... be forgiven? This is what I mean by the writers acting like she can’t do no wrong, like I get it people makes mistakes but…idk it’s just messy from the writers doing.

I’m sorry guys like this isn’t me hating on her or trying to but it’s more of me hating on the writing of her character and mainly of how the situations are written, built and handled. Like guys their relationship was such a mess in D2. I think all Mal should’ve did was apologize to Ben here because she really didn’t treated him that well and I already said she should’ve apologized to Audrey as well.

The writing of all 3 is such a mess😣. Again disclaimer I love all three characters I’m just criticizing more than hating because I want them to have better writing and when I say everything is a mess…it’s a MESS like why aren’t we shown people making comments or reactions to their behaviors like calling them out on it and taking accountability like Audrey should’ve gotten a speech, Ben should’ve apologized to Audrey after the spell wore off and Mal pretty sure she did apologized to everyone she hurt but also I can’t believe we didn’t get the opportunity of mal and Audrey getting closure and becoming friends. I also want to note that mal and Audrey both are able to balance Ben idealism with their realism either girls can work with him but it’s just the writing that’s bad or really all over the place.

I remember Audrey did the Courtesy with Mal after she defeated her mother. They were both smiling. I’m confused on why the writers continued with the whole her being bitter thing. This proved to her that not all villain kids are bad and they choose Good.

[who-the-hell-is-james-barnes]

I like to think of it similar to he way in every Z-O-M-B-I-E-S movie he's in, Bucky Buchanan also looses all of his character development.

They're just characters the writers use to oppose the addition n if more characters groups ig.

[descenderintofantasy]

This!!!! This is why as much as Sarah slayed the acting, I will die on the hill that CHAD should have been the D3 villain! At the end of D1 Audrey seemed open to friendship with the VK's!

But of course the villain must be connected to Mal and the writers hate Audrey's character so they regressed her!

[axtrowrld]

No hate to mal whatsoever but I also thought part of the reason they made Audrey the villain was bc of the writers also wanted to make mal look good. Yes Audrey did the most and hades did mention about some hypocrisy about when a VK does something they get in trouble but when a AK does something, they don’t.

[axtrowrld]

I am soooo glad himawari wasn’t reduced into a character who would be playing “Cupid” for her older brother. Borusara shippers really be pushing the whole “sister-in-law” narrative especially early boruto says. Himawari is so much more than that.

[descenderintofantasy]

I wish more people would realize that Chad x Audrey is actually NOT A GOOD SHIP/TOXIC.

Stop putting my girl Audrey with a guy who is OBSESSED with her!

That is NOT ACTUAL LOVE!

[axtrowrld]

OMGGGG THISSSSSSSS I’m GLAD I found my people!!!!

Like it’s clear people ship them to get Audrey out the way.

This is how Audrey felt about Chad Btw, like why force her with a guy she clearly dont like romantically especially when she’s not over Ben and he’s obsessed with her in the movie and so much more. Even though in her diary he is shown to be a good friend during her heartbreak but in the movie…Yallll

Naruto and Boruto Similarities and Differences.

Hinata and Sumire Similarities and Differences.

Naruhina Similarities and Differences.

Borusumi Similarities and Differences.

I’ll try to do Kawasara and Sasusaku soon;)

[axtrowrld]

Borusara isn’t that bad of a ship even though I don’t like it because they don’t appeal to me overall but there is a problem.

In the timeskip they’re supposed to give off that duo energy, the couple that stands with each other equally and Boruto always protects her but for a battle-couple or battle-duo dynamic, the issue isn't necessarily that Boruto protects Sarada. The issue is that ikemoto currently doesn't give Sarada an equally indispensable role in Boruto's survival and success and makes duos like Naruto/Sasuke, Kakashi/Obito, Naruto/Hinata, Sasuke/Sakura, Leon Kennedy/Claire Redfield/Ada Wong, Hiccup/Astrid, or Haruka/Michiru work at their best isn't equal physical strength. It's mutual necessity. Each person contributes something the other cannot easily replace.

But the BIGGEST problem is that boruto is constantly shown as necessary to Sarada's survival, but Sarada is rarely shown as necessary to Boruto's survival and that creates so much imbalance. Like as many times Sarada preaches about wanting to help him which is nothing wrong with that being her goal but how is she supposed to help him when she barely knows anything in order to help him. You guys know intel helps on the battle field. In the anime they were more feeling a bit equal but in the timeskip it feels like she’s a damsel in distress while boruto is swooping in saving her every time in a dangerous situation.

What can help fix it is-

1. Sarada needs to save Boruto in ways only she can. It doesn’t necessarily by physically rescuing him every time.

2. Boruto needs to trust Sarada with important information. A battle couple requires partnership which Boruto currently carries most of the burden in terms of intel alone other than sharing it with KK. Sarada often operates with incomplete information. As a result she can't meaningfully contribute because she doesn't know enough.

3. Sarada's help needs to succeed. This is probably the most important point. A character can be weaker and still feel valuable. The problem is when their attempts to help repeatedly create more problems. Readers start associating that character with "Boruto has to rescue her again." Instead of "Good thing Sarada was there." The story needs successful interventions from Sarada.

4. Make Sarada the battlefield brain sometimes. Since Sarada and Sumire are Fouls and If Sumire's strength is information and analysis, then Sarada needs another irreplaceable role. One possibility… Sumire = intelligence gathering and Sarada = combat strategy and leadership. Sarada is supposed to become Hokage. Future Hokage candidates shouldn't just be strong but they should command battles as well. If Boruto is the strongest fighter then Sarada is the one to be directing the operation.

5. Boruto needs vulnerabilities Sarada can specifically address. This is something Naruto and Sasuke had. Naruto could reach people emotionally. Sasuke could do things Naruto couldn't. They filled gaps in each other just like Kawaki and Boruto or Sumire and Sarada. Boruto currently feels too self-sufficient. So If Boruto can fight alone, gather intel alone, survive alone and strategize alone then Sarada becomes optional. Ikemoto needs weaknesses only Sarada can cover.

Sasuke and Naruto feel more equal than Boruto and Sarada because sometimes Naruto saved Sasuke. Sometimes Sasuke saved Naruto. Sometimes they fought side-by-side. Sometimes they solved completely different parts of the problem. The story continuously reinforced that both were extraordinary and necessary but with Boruto and Sarada, the story currently reinforces Boruto's necessity much more strongly than Sarada's.

Like boruto and Sarada standing back to back while fighting hidari was DIFFERENT. But boruto saving her many times and ship baiting is nothing new, that’s why i said him protecting her is nothing new and not romantic because he been doing that years ago but again the problem is that they’re is imbalance.

For boruto and Sarada to have that battle-couple dynamic specifically, they need to have a simple formula like Boruto protects Sarada physically, Sarada protects Boruto strategically, emotionally, and sometimes physically then occasionally reverse it completely. You need to feel like they actually rely on each other and not just relying and being used to getting saved by one person. If ikemoto can point to multiple major moments where it’s like Boruto saved Sarada, Sarada saved Boruto, and they won together, then they WILL start feeling like a true battlefield duo rather than a protector-and-protected relationship.

The biggest thing missing right now isn't romance as I’m not focusing on that because right now boruto isn’t focused on it and Sarada isn’t either that but other than wanting to help him but the problem is reciprocity. A battle couple works when both characters are portrayed as indispensable to each other's success. Right now Boruto is indispensable to Sarada far more often than Sarada is indispensable to Boruto, which is why many readers feel the partnership is lopsided.

Sarada feels like a damsel in distress and the issue is how ikemoto uses her. there are several notable moments where Boruto protects or rescues Sarada. Some are direct rescues, while others are moments where he steps in to shield her from danger. Boro fight (Chapter 42–43), Training fight against Kawaki (Chapter 58), Kawaki confrontation (Chapter 78), TBV Chapter 1, Shinju/Hidari conflict (Chapter 11), Chapter 12, Chapter 32 and many more.

Mind you a character can be incredibly strong and still feel like a damsel in distress if the narrative repeatedly places them in situations where they need rescuing, their agency is limited, or their role is primarily to motivate another character's actions.

For example, some fans, including me would argue that Sarada's power level isn't the problem. The problem is that the story doesn't consistently allow her to demonstrate competence and effectiveness during the biggest moments.

I even pointed it out on my post I made which is pinned.

Both Boruto and Sarada, as well as Ladybug and Cat Noir, illustrate how a partnership can feel unbalanced even when the characters are intended to be equals. In theory, Boruto and Sarada are meant to be the next generation's version of a powerful shinobi duo, Naruto and Sasuke successors, the next Shadow Hokage and Hokage while Ladybug and Cat Noir are supposed to represent Yin and Yang, the complementary forces of Creation and Destruction. However, in both cases, the narrative often portrays one character as the primary problem-solver and protector while the other is more frequently placed in situations where they need assistance. Boruto is repeatedly shown rescuing Sarada and handling the most critical threats, just as Ladybug is usually the one devising the winning strategy and defeating the villain to make her look smarter and stronger.

Meanwhile, Sarada's attempts to help sometimes lead to complications like boruto losing his eye or messing up the plan during the mamushi battle, and Cat Noir is often written as being captured, distracted, joking around, being dumbed down or majorly sidelined as chat noir and Adrien Agreste(up until season 6, they’re now starting to focus on Adrien and give him as chat noir equal abilities which his “miraculous chat noir” powers is his cataclysm power that erases/destroy memories on who he chooses yet it is balanced out to ladybugs“miraculous ladybug” power to restore things.) This creates a perception that Sarada and Cat Noir are less essential to the story's major victories, even though both are canonically talented and powerful. The issue is not that they lack strength, but that the narrative does not consistently allow them to demonstrate the same level of agency, competence, and indispensability as their partners. As a result, both duos can feel less like two equals working together and more like a lead hero being supported by a secondary partner, despite the story's stated intention that they stand side by side.

Sumire and sakura flower symbolism!🌸🪻

Sakura (cherry blossom) blooms near the start of spring and is one of Japan's most iconic spring flowers.

Sumire (violet) blooms throughout spring and often remains visible later into the season than cherry blossoms.

“Cherry blossoms announce spring's beginning; violets linger as spring matures.”

People say violets in Japan grow in the end of spring but It's not a strict botanical rule that violets are only an end-of-spring flower, but for literary symbolism, the contrast is quite fitting for both Sakura and Sumire as a character.

Sakura → bright, prominent, immediately noticed.

Sumire → quieter, more subtle, enduring.

both Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki end up serving as "shadow" protectors who operate outside the village rather than leading it from within.

Sakura symbolizes the life that Sasuke eventually returns to.

Sumire symbolizes the steady faith that remains with Boruto while he walks a lonely path.

Sakura is the celebrated blossom protected from the shadows; Sumire is the quiet flower that understands someone living in those shadows.

[axtrowrld]

I don’t think sasusaku is a bad ship, I do think they balance each other out the problem is them spending time in negative light. Kishimoto should’ve been executed things better.

Most of the negatives came from Sasuke side the most. I think things could’ve been executed better on Sasuke side, yeah maybe sakura too?? But mainly Sasuke. I think sakura should’ve went with Sasuke on his redemption arc, traveling. I mean I think it’s a bit crazy Sasuke doesn’t show her much physical affection like a kiss or hugs other than the forehead tap which to me looks like a sign of distance since itachi did it to Sasuke, always distancing himself from him but maybe pda isn’t his thing and turned to forehead tap also into a sign of affection and sakura is just cool with it??

Now I do think gaiden was a bit bad for sasusaku, kishimoto playing into the whole baby mama drama with sakura and Karin because sasusaku and sasukarin shippers were most likely feuding over who Sarada looks like the most. It’s crazy how sakura known Sasuke for so long and didn’t give Sarada an answer about if Sasuke wore glasses or not, then Sasuke also telling her it’s none of sarada’s concern over who her real mother is?!

Ohhh baby nooo that’s not good

——————————————————————

REWRITE.

I would’ve rewritten of sakura going with Sasuke on his redemption arc instead of staying behind the village. I then would’ve also made Naruto spend time with Hinata while Sasuke spend time with Sakura. The traveling is when they could’ve gotten used to each other presence, sakura could’ve gotten to know more about him as he slowly opens up to her. Then once he was ready for romance he tells her how he always liked her back then when they were 12-13 but obviously didn’t return it because of focusing on his goals and wanting revenge. He also apologizes for the way he treated her and say he isn’t worth sakura love but sakura finally understands him now and apologized for how she may have been "pushy","persistent” or “Overbearing” about her feelings towards him especially when he is emotionally unavailable (generally means a person is unable or unwilling to fully engage in emotional intimacy, vulnerability, or a romantic connection at a given time. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't have feelings.) She just remind him overall how much she should’ve respected that.

Sakura then responded to his feelings and accepted it, I would’ve for sure made it where it’s sakura who fell first but he fell harder. I also would’ve made them be used for PDA, Sasuke may not like it too much but just enough to show his affections but also showing his love through other ways .

Soon I would’ve made Sasuke propose with the red chakra ring Sasuke made himself like he did in the Sasuke story novel and then have their marriage back in the leaf, then they travel and she ends up pregnant then soon once she is a few months then Sasuke take her back to the leaf and stay with her because he doesn’t want her to stress or harm the baby while traveling. since Sarada birthday is few days after boruto’s, then I would’ve kept that sakura gotten pregnant around the same time Hinata did and Sakura and Hinata could’ve gotten more closer then ever because of that. .

Now Sasuke would stay once Sarada is born to a certain age, he still goes in missions here and there but once Sarada gets a bit older she kinda does and doesn’t remember Sasuke that much. Well in Gaiden Obviously Sasuke could’ve just been the type of father and reassured her and cleared things up saying how sakura is clearly her mother.

It’s clear Sarada is Sakura child, but instead of making her ask that, she can still ask about the glasses and I would’ve make sakura have an answer which is no he doesn’t but Sarada was sick and she gotten a pair from a friend(Karin) who is her father old former teammate. But a big question she should’ve asked her is WHY her father is barely home now, and are they really connected, like is she really his wife. I think sakura would’ve responded in the heat of the moment a bit in a scolding way since Sarada kept pressuring her but sakura didn’t know how to put it in words which this will lead to Sarada going around to someone close to them and asking, they will say yes but Sarada feels like she needs more to that.

This would’ve lead to the journey to find Sasuke with Cho Cho by following Naruto. Once shes with Naruto, finds Sasuke and goes on a rant and ask of him and her mom really connected. Instead of Sasuke saying it has nothing to do with her, he reassures her by saying of course they are. Sarada is still a bit unsatisfied and she thinks to herself instead of a simple “yes”, she needed him to be more specific and prove it in actions rather than words. Before sakura gets there and I would’ve kept the part of her apologizing to Sasuke for not making it clear to Sarada but Sasuke saying it’s not her fault. After the whole Shin thing with sakura and Sasuke, Sarada sees Sasuke actually caring for sakura, protecting her which kinda does make her realize they’re connected. Once they’re back at the village gates, Sasuke is going to leave again, Sasuke hugged Sarada, yeah it’s different from the forehead tap but sakura is close to Sasuke and he but tells her how much him and her mother are connected even if they’re far away, he may not show affection through public ways but he still love her and her mother even if he is far away. Sasuke gave a smile to sakura and instead of that fake smile sakura gives, she has a smile that’s genuine and that REALLY makes Sarada tear up a bit.

I would’ve place the Naruto lecture here.

Later on Naruto then gave her that talk and say how much she reminds him of Sasuke and sakura and compliments her but tells her that Sasuke is out protecting the village and world and that’s why he isn’t home but he reminded her that the strength of a family comes from the love you share, not just from DNA and that Sarada being there proves that sakura and connected which then that makes Sarada inspire to want to be hokage like him, for the sake of family like kishimoto originally had it.

THENNNNN Sarada and Boruto scene stay the same and she goes back to boruto about wanting to be hokage and stuff.

Now THATS how I would’ve rewritten everything, to make the couple actually feel like they actually had growth, and mainly Sasuke. I wanted them to feel more positive but yet emotionally complex at the same time. Complexity doesn’t need to involve negative emotions/moments most of the time.

And honestly, there was a time when I genuinely wondered if Ikemoto was a NaruSaku shipper 🤷🏻‍♀️ BoruSara gives off a lot of NaruSaku vibes to me, except this time it feels like Sarada is the one with the obvious crush on Boruto, not the other way around

I don't think so just cause of how badly written Sarada and BoruSara is in general. If he shipped NaruSaku he would have wanted to have it done right and write it well. Instead it feels like he just can't be bothered to do it properly and just doing it to give Sarada a bigger role in the story.

[axtrowrld]

I kinda see why they give off Narusaku vibes because yeah it’s obvious Sarada likes boruto but the difference is boruto doesn’t have feelings for anyone at the moment which does set him apart from Naruto and sakura because he isn’t rejecting anyone.

Maybe like early academy days and especially in the anime, borusara kinda gave off like Narusaku/Sasunaru vibes but let’s be real even if I don’t like bsa and nsk ship itself, borusara especially in timeskip does not compare to Narusaku at all. Borusara is worse and especially in terms of writing, ikemoto makes it feel like a joke and is obviously shipbaiting while kishimoto even if he was shipbaiting Narusaku, the ship wasn’t that bad and it would’ve made sense if she were to move on from Sasuke -> Naruto because Sasuke wasn’t there so she spent most of her time with Naruto. It did get to the point he was considering to make it canon before actually putting more thought into naruhina and sasusaku.

Kishimoto thought making sakura change to Naruto especially when he would’ve been viewed as a hero thought sakura would’ve been a bad woman, I mean if she did then it would’ve looked like that it’s giving Sasuke isn’t cool anymore and she doubted Naruto but switched and now wants him once he saved the village but kishimoto said no because she was already wholeheartedly devoted to Sasuke and wanted to actually stop him from going through that path including Naruto and same with Hinata to Naruto. He said he would’ve felt bad for Hinata if he ended up with sakura and she didn’t end up with him especially watching him in the shadows and supporting him before everyone else did.

Sarada DOESNT have any good reason to like boruto, now if she did like him then I think it’s because boruto became a hero but Sarada never liked him in the first place despite people around her forcing the idea that she likes him and even borusara shippers. That’s why even now ikemoto didn’t make her say WHY she likes him. During her speech , he made her explain how it happens but not exactly why but kinda at the same time.

Which the reason is BS. I think ikemoto kinda redrew the scene from the hokage mount to make it kinda seem like she always had those feelings but didn’t want to acknowledge while not knowing at the same time which is weird considering under kodachi, Sarada didn’t even like boruto back then and wayyy earlier.

Sarada says he started to go through so much trouble which is around the time that Kawaki came in because boruto barely went through anything other than having daddy issues and maybe momoshiki. Boruto inserted himself with Kawaki issues and then the momoshiki problem started to get worse which it’s true Sarada was always worried about boruto as a teammate.

Ikemoto made Sarada worry feelings into romantic ones which you really shouldn’t like someone because you feel bad. That’s pity and it’s equivalent to dating someone because you felt bad they gotten rejected by their crush, or want to be someone friend because they don’t have friends knowing you think they’re weird. THATS PITY. This is why I said ikemoto doesn’t have a good reason for Sarada to like him because she never did in the first place meanwhile Sumire actually had a reason because he saved her from the dark path and convinced her that she had fun at the academy, she don’t need to follow her father footsteps. She literally became a shinobi because of him! BORUTO IS SUMIRE EMOTIONAL ANCHER.

Overall I can tell ikemoto is barely considering making borusara canon yet only way for Sarada to stay relevant is through boruto bc of the shippers, they wanted to make everything about boruto.

Sarada jacket, her hair, etc like the only thing that Sarada is connected to with boruto should be her hokage job. Her “romantic” feelings shouldn’t be connected to her hokage job. It doesn’t make sense for her to feel like she was worthless of being hokage because of romance when it kinda feels like an insult to other hokages because they had romance involved in their life yet it didn’t make them feel worthless. That feels like they’re trying to make Sarada feel more complex when it doesn’t and it sounds ridiculous. Before kishimoto, Sarada everything she did or had wasn’t always tied to boruto. Ofc she is going to be relevant any other way because she’s sasuke daughter who is another main character of the OG Naruto cast.

Sorry for getting a bit off topic and it was a rant lol but I don’t think ikemoto ships Narusaku or will consider or make borusara canon because yeah he would’ve did the ship way better and what makes it worse is that ikemoto was with kishimoto when he was writing Naruto and so he should’ve known how kishimoto was writing Narusaku and how EVERYONE wanted that ship to be canon and another reason is that he’s trapped in that first love rule kodachi placed on Sumire and it was kishimoto also doing that rule in Naruto with girls like Hinata and Sakura who gotten the guy they loved first instead of the ones who would come in later. (considered more genuine compared to other girls like Karin and Ino) Sarada came in later so she isn’t going to be with boruto no matter how much others want them to be together. I think ikemoto has no choice but to look like he is playing into the bsa ship because if not then he would get huge criticism from them considering they make up the majority of the boruto fanbase(shipping) and sales, kishimoto went through it when he didn’t make Narusaku happen so what do y’all think is going to happen with borusara??.

Also add on that borusara Isn’t happening because Sarada is similar to Ino in the love rivalry so if more than anything she’s most likely to move onto someone else which I think it might be kawaki.

First rant..well kinda but people are calling inojin a pedo and etc because hima is 12 and he is 14. People thinking inohima won’t happen and they will be endgame, they don’t have no competition and besides just because himawari hasn’t shown any hints of romantic feelings for him doesn’t mean she won’t like him in the future, it takes time and she’s just like her father being oblivious and focusing on her goals.

I just hope I won’t get jumped for this because I ain’t got no time for this and I got told Twitter is ruthless. 🤦🏽‍♀️

From chapter 34 Cho Cho always found Kawaki hot.

But in ch34 tbv she says how much boruto is hot now.

Well this question kinda answers it for people who was confused on why she thought boruto is hot when in reality she only shown interest in Kawaki.

Q: チョウチョウはカワキをイケメンだと認識していましたが、「全能」発動後はどういう認識になりましたか。よそ者ボルトをイケメンだと思っていたけど、今は七代目の息子カワキをイケメンに感じる…などはありますか？

Translation: Chocho used to see Kawaki as handsome. After Omnipotence was activated, how does she perceive him now?For example, she originally thought the outsider Boruto was handsome, but does she now feel that Kawaki—the Seventh Hokage's son—is the handsome one instead?

A: やはりあの白い髪、反逆の息子（カワキ）が急にイケメンになったと認識しています。そして3年後、里に戻ってきたボルトも様々な面で成長していますが、それに関しては「相変わらずイケメンだな」と思っているようです。

Translation: “Yes. She recognizes that the white-haired “rebellious son” (Kawaki) suddenly became handsome. And three years later, when Boruto returns to the village, he has matured in many ways. Regarding him, she seems to think, “He's still as handsome as ever.” Or “ Indeed, ever since that day, she perceives that the Hokage's son (Kawaki) has suddenly become handsome. Furthermore, regarding Boruto, who has grown in various ways and returned to the village after 3 years, she seems to think, "He's as handsome as always.”

So the answer implies that after Omnipotence, Chocho's memories adjusted so that she attributes her previous impression of "the handsome boy" to Kawaki, but when Boruto returns years later, she also still finds him handsome(Kawaki spot). So guys remember boruto and Kawaki switch places to everyone else.

Since Kawaki is the hokage son now(used to be boruto place), Cho Cho thought Sarada used to be buddy buddy with him but is defending a traitor because he fights for the village(used to be Kawaki spot)

Idk it’s wrecking my brain a bit lol

Before Omnipotence:

• Kawaki was the outsider taken in by Naruto.

• Boruto was Naruto's biological son.

• Chocho already thought Kawaki was attractive.

After Omnipotence:

• Everyone's memories were rewritten.

• People now "remember" Kawaki as Naruto's son.

• They "remember" Boruto as the outsider who betrayed the village.

when Boruto returns after the timeskip, Chocho still thinks he's handsome.(key word STILL) so hypothetically let’s say Kawaki is in his original place, if he came back fighting for the village or helping with the situation then she will STILL think he looks handsome even after he gotten older over the past 3 years if this make sense.

This was literally burning my braincells as I was typing lol
