Boruto Shipping Opinions

I’m gonna put a brief aside here to say two quick things to keep in mind before reading:

I am not going to go into great detail or analysis here because I’m holding off on that until the manga wraps up.

I am caught up with the manga, I am not caught up with the anime. I have watched up until the arc the new team 7 infiltrate a prison, the second chunin exams, and whatever clips/moments I’ve stumbled upon being discussed. I am not an avid fan, I do not know all the ins and outs of character dynamics, and I don’t even keep up with that part of the fandom. I have no horse in this race.

BoruSara

I don’t like this ship, and I don’t know if that’s an unpopular opinion. I’ll try to avoid saying “they have sibling vibes” or “they’re just friends” because, coming from someone who has used that excuse in the past, it is very difficult to explain/defend argument. So much so that now it just comes across as cheap to me.

I will, however, say that I don’t like it for the same reason I don’t like NejiTen. It comes across as “he was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it anymore obvious?” It feels like it stems from the idea that boys and girls can’t just be friends. If the dynamic was introduced with an edge of romance (like how Naruto and Sakura’s dynamic was introduced with Naruto having a crush on her), maybe it would be a different story. But as of right now, it feels like the fandom reading into something that doesn‘t need to be read into.

KawaSara

I hate to say this, but I’m guessing this ship stemmed from SasuSaku fans reading them as “next gen SasuSaku”. Look, everyone can ship whatever they want or choose to refrain from shipping, but I’m sick of the fandom projecting old ships on new dynamics. I have seen BoruSara compared to SNS, NaruSaku, and SasuSaku (for some reason). I have seen BoruSumi compared to NaruHina. I have seen MitsuSara compared to SasuSaku and SuiKarin. I have seen KawaSara compared to SasuSaku. Every single time I thought to myself, “The manga starts with Boruto asserting that he’s not his dad and this isn’t his dad’s story.” I get that comparisons will naturally arise since it’s a sequel series, but these kids are not carbon copies of their parents and they don’t have the same dynamics their parents did.

Now that my rant is out of the way, I think a hypothetical child between them having black hair with pink highlights would be cute and that’s about it.

MitsuSara

I wish these two had more of a dynamic. Both characters have interactions with Boruto and clear dynamics with him, but they don’t really have much going on with each other. They both have recognizable personalities, but they mellow each other out whenever they interact and it makes them boring (I’m guessing Ikemoto isn’t interested in them together). They also only tend to talk to each other about Boruto (at least in the manga). Say what you want about them, but at least Sasuke and Sakura had a dynamic.

Anyways, funny ha ha, Orochimaru gets an Uchiha in the way they least expected.

MitsuBoru

Gayer than any of the Naruto dynamics and that is saying something. However, I struggle to like the ship because I’m just so confused.

First, why does Boruto have so many lancer/foil/rival characters. Kawaki, Sarada, and Mitsuki all act as lancers. I get that writing doesn’t have to be formulaic, but they aren’t even all lancers to each other, having dynamics that bounce off of each other, they’re just lancers to Boruto. At least for me, it’s already gotten really boring and ends in the three’s dynamics with each other falling flat.

Second, the sun and moon symbolism makes no sense to me as a writing decision. The obvious problem is that it’s redundant; it’s already been used for multiple Naruto dynamics. The less obvious problem is that it contradicts Mitsuki’s manga introduction. Mitsuki was introduced as the middle between Boruto and Sarada’s two extremes, taking up a role similar to Sakura’s in the og team 7. If he’s supposed to be the moon to Boruto’s sun, why is he introduced to us as the earth? The admittedly more minor problem that distracts me is that Orochimaru was the one that Mitsuki down this road. Why? Orochimaru wasn’t redeemed by Naruto and has never shown interest in him or this philosophy before now. My best guess is that they’re fascinated by Naruto’s affect on Sasuke, but that still leaves me with questions.

It makes me think that the writer didn’t have any ideas when they introduced these two.

BoruSumi

I don’t like how the fandom is making another love square, but I doubt there’s anything I can do to stop them.

This ship is boring because Sumire is boring. That one anime arc made her interesting, but it’s referenced and relevant so rarely that she goes back to being boring. I’d like this more if the story let Sumire be morally gray or treated her like a redeemed villain more. As of right now, I think the only leg the ship has to stand on is writing tropes and I do not care.

KawaSumi

This ship feels like the product of the same people who ship SasuHina/SasuIno/SasuKarin/KibaHina out of spite. My last post/reblog went into why this happens but the short of it is that it’s easier to ship something in peace if the biggest “threats” to it are paired together. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have a feeling most KawaSumi shippers also ship BoruSara.

KawaHima

Please… just stop. If not for yourself, then for me. I’m already barely coping with how popular NejiHina is. Why have I seen this as much as I have??? This feels like a personal attack on my sanity. They’re siblings.

Other

This is the section for all the ships I have little/no opinions on. I think MitsuCho is too boring for how popular it is, I think ChoSara should be more popular, I’m disturbed by all of the Eida x next gen ships because she looks and acts like an adult (at least how adults are portrayed in Boruto), and I’m surprised Code x Eida isn’t more popular, but I also think that Code has gotten the Kabuto treatment and isn’t very popular in the fandom.

The ships I haven’t mentioned I either have so little fucks to give or so little information on that I have ZERO thoughts about.

(Sakura sees Sarada upset one day.)

Sakura: Sarada, what's wrong?

Sarada: Chouchou and I had a stupid fight... Now, I don't even know if we're still friends...

Sakura: That's fine, you don't need female friends anyways. They're really dramatic! In fact, I broke off my friendship with my first ever friend, Ino, even though she was the only person who had ever been nice to me after years of bullying. She just wasn't worth it after I assumed that she had a crush on the boy that I liked, your father.

Sarada: 👀 Mom, what the fu-

Sakura: And later, when she saved me during the Forest of Death stage of our chuunin exams, deliberately lost our match in our preliminary fighting round, and told me that I had blossomed into a beautiful flower, I never thanked her or apologized to her because I have always known what was important to me - your father's love.

Sarada: 👀

Orochimaru, sipping tea in the Uchiha house because he apparently gets invited to everyone's houses for tea now despite being a canonical child torturer: 👀

Sarada: Mom, I'm going out tonight; I've got to go tell Chouchou that I LOVE her.

[dunndunie]

Fuck BoruSara. ChouSara is the best.

[daydreamtt]

I miss chousara interaction! And why is Sumire sticking to Sarada (I don't have anything against her) and not Chou Chou. I seriously miss the chousara combo T_T

Yeah, I guess it’s been a while. Though I wouldn’t worry about Sumire taking Chocho’s place as Sarada’s best friend if that’s what you’re anxious about.

I mean it’s been stated & shown that Chocho is Sarada’s closest friend, nobody is going to take her place. We’ll probably see the chousara combo sooner than later. Besides it’s normal & inevitable that Sarada has interactions with other characters, friends and acquaintances within the series. She is the heroine after all.

Top 10 Naruto Ships

Thanks for tagging me @sasukehinata. I hope people don't mind that most of them are gonna be Hinata ships lol 😅 1)NaruHina - This ship has been cute since day one and I just love that they were always positive when it came to interacting with one another. It was obvious to me that they were gonna be end game from the beginning, just like with SasuSaku (even though I have a love/hate relationship with ss) 2) SasuHina - I just think that ship is so beautiful to look at, plus people have brought the fact that this ship has so much untapped potential. If I wasn't so against certain ships happening if it meant that SasuHina would be canon, I would be so happy to see this ship sail. 3) GaaHina - I know this is just as unlikely as SasuHina, but I literally squeal every time I see something related to this pairing. They are just so freaking quirky and awkward dorks if you ship them during his kage days, and just so hot and unpredictable if you ship it during his crazy days. There's just so much you can do with this ship that its simply amazing! 4) NejiHina - I love them as a brotp and also as otp. I just love how protective Neji is towards her after his fight with Naruto. Neji treats her like a princess and Naruto SD doesn't help my shipping heart towards them any better. I know incest is gross and taboo, but I just can't help it, okay? Don't judge me. 5) LeeSaku - Do I even need to say why?? The way that Lee was so precious when he was around Sakura was the cutest thing to me. And the way that Sakura treated and cared for Lee during the Forest of Death onwards was the best part of Sakura that I have ever seen. That's the Sakura that I can get behind. 6) KibaHina/ShinoHina - Again, do I need to say why?? I love them as a brotp and also as ship too. I love how the boys are so protective and caring towards Hinata. They are like her big brothers and she's like their little sister. I also love how Hinata treats Shino and Kiba and Akamaru. She's treats them with so much love and respect. This is just adorable overload. I can't. 7) BoruMitsu/BoruSumiMitsu/SaraCho - Its fairly new but I already love how they are with each other. Boruto is just a fluff ball when it comes to his friends, and I love how no matter what Mitsuki or Sumire do because of their upbringing, Boruto is there to knock some sense into them and be there for them unconditionally. As for SaraCho, I love their friendship so much, but I would love to see them together as well. These ships have set sail and I'm not looking back! 8) InoSumi - Inojin's sassiness and Sumire's hawawa nervous tick, plus the purple color scheme just sets my heart fluttering with fangirlness. I can't help it y'all. 9) AkaHina - What can I say? This is the best way for me to say that I ship Hinata with all of the Akatsuki members 😅 Its not my fault that I thinks she is super cute with people okay? When you have a favorite character, you tend to think that she/he would be perfect with everyone 😂 10) ShikaHima/MetalHima - Himawari is a precious cinnamon roll, Shikadai is a precious troublemaker, and Metal is the king of nervous adorkableness! Those boys deserve a bit of Sunshine Himawari love! Sue me! Bonus: Literally almost every Hinata ship you can think of, girls and boys equal! I can't help myself. Hinata has so much love to give. Sue me. I also like some of the canon ships, but like I said, I have a love/hate relationship with one of them. (Thanks a lot fandom) I guess I'll tag @bluewind1246, @unpopular-ship-queen, @sp2512, @hinatamyqueen, and @lady-nounoum just cuz these were some names that popped up. Have fun! 😄
