Boruto asks Sarada specifically not to lose hope because three years ago, she gave him the chance to hold on by sending Sasuke to his aid. If Sasuke hadn't been there for Boruto, the future Momoshiki envisioned would likely have come true.

from shock to just complete relaxation in her arms 🫂💓
what is important to her heart
Mitsuki & Boruto and thoughts about true love
Opening this up to the SNS community to discuss, but I can’t help but draw parallels on a certain chat between Eida and Mitsuki in chapter 8 of BTBV.
From the start of Boruto Next Gen, Kishimoto established a pseudo SNS dynamic with these two characters, where Orochimaru, who’s clearly still not over Sasuke, and is very aware of the duality between them, purposely pairs Mitsuki (moon) with Boruto (Sun).
And in chapter 7, Boruto calls it out to Mitsuki who’s memory has been altered and thinks his sun is now Kawaki. A sweet gesture from him who’s aware and accepting of Mitsuki’s feelings towards him.
He also gives him encouragement to stand on his own and step out of the shadow of his Sun. He doesn’t need to hide who he is, but if he’s not ready, Boruto, his sun, will continue to accept and illuminate him.
Then in chapter 8, Mitsuki talks with Eida about his interaction with Boruto and how for some time he’s known Kawaki ain’t the one. Especially thanks to Eida’s power which makes everyone fall in love with her, he’s been able to understand what Love is supposed to feel like, which makes it clearer in his head there’s something not right.
He understands that unless he can be himself and stand by it, he could easily lose sight of who is his most important person, fall for a ‘false sun’. He also makes an interesting remark that even though he’s known for some time, he was afraid to lose what he had, however unsatisfying, and so he never questioned if his sun was even real or not.
And then, Eida makes a great point (btw, I’d love it if anyone has the Japanese translation of this whole interaction) where she says "we’re talking about love yeah?”
Side note - I do appreciate that she’s used as the audience throughout the story to question the meaning behind what characters say.
So, when you go back to the top, from the conversation with Boruto to Eida’s comment, Mitsuki has been questioning if his love for Kawaki is true or not, because despite the memory wipe and the fake memories, in his heart, he knows who is his true love.
And considering their SNS undertones, I can’t help but also think of that one tiny, insignificant, with no lasting consequences love that was guilt tripped, faked and forced via a genjutsu...(cough) The Last (cough) and wonder if Kishimoto was being petty once more and whether Naruto in time, also reached the same conclusion as Mitsuki, in that, you can’t force yourself to love someone who isn’t your true love.
The more this Manga goes on, the more it feels like a vehicle to confirm a lot of the SNS subtext in Naruto outside of Naruto and Sasuke themselves.
Sadly, it’s months of crap and then one good themed episode drops, but hey, we take what we can get.
I just didn't notice this while reading it again but these two panel here have different contexts but the same weight and meaning towards it.
Both Kawaki and Sarada, despite knowing Sumire's feelings for Boruto, have quite hurt her emotionally. And in both scenarios, Sumire still understood their action, and put aside to care about Boruto's well being.
1. Kawaki literally killed Boruto, and Sumire is the first amongst the new-gen who knows the truth. At first, this shocked her but she quite understood his action and how both, Boruto and Kawaki, had to take a painful decision. 2. Sarada didn't even think about Sumire's feelings after she threw herself to Boruto in front of her. Even still, Sumire already understand the friendship they share and cared for Boruto's well being. (plus the novel also mentions it too.)
A minor parallel that I didn't pick up but it's quite interesting, and also how cute that she still cares for him anyway.🥺🤧🩷💜✨ (But maybe it's done on purpose or it's a coincidence??)
While I'm doomscrolling in almost every social media, I rarely encounter any Boruto or TBV content while on the other hand, my childhood show miraculous is getting so popular which I'm really so proud of.
Am I a social media version cop or what? Why every content creator is focusing on his father than real main character? Truth is it does exists because of his father but let's admit, Naruto era is officially over. Let's get over it.
Everytime new chapter comes out, I am so freaking hoping that someone would genuinely post about the chapter and new gen but all new content comes when old gen characters appear and I am so proud of my Naruto fandom but please, please, please pay some attention and respect to Boruto TBV and humble request to editors
PLEASE MAKE MORE BORUTO EDITS TO KEEP FANDOM ALIVE.
And the request for both fandoms is:
PLEASE DO NOT USE BORUTO HASHTAG TO PROMOTE NARUTO AND SHIPPUDEN
People click on the hashtag to genuinely look and view Boruto edits but not the history.
Again I mentioned Miraculous because I can (‐^▽^‐)
Thank you for your time to read my opinion. I love you guys
