What would yall rate the current arc.
The main villain of this arc is Mamushi.
In my opinion I really like Mamushi as a villain. My favorite part is when he was about to kill Lord Kobu he was just laughing like a maniac.
One of the main things I like about Mamushi is it was a different approach when it came to villains in TBV and even NNG.
Most villains in the series is just seen has strong. One thing Ikimote did very well when it came to Mamushi is instead of just making it "whoever is stronger wins." He made it a battle of nutrition. Even if the Boruto alliance were stronger they would have still lost because it became a battle of nutrition and not strength. I think that's one thing I haven't seen in NNG and TBV.
Another thing I like is how Mamushi ended. When 1000+ clones appeared most people thought it was going to be a wildscale jutsu or an asspull like people coming to help them take care off it. But instead it, it was Injoin which was one of the main characters of this arc. This led to an improvement of his character, because he was willing to sacrifice his life to protect his village and the person he loves Himarwire. Love is one the themes for this arc/manga.
Another thing I like about this arc is the strategy and comms. When I started to see the strategy and how everyone was working together it brought me back to early naruto. How there was a lot of strategy involved in the missions.
Another thing I liked within this arc is the internal and external conflict. The whole Lord Kobu situation was very interesting. The main reason is because he added stakes. He was also one of the main reasons why Sarada eye exploded and why Inojin might go blind. Which will once again increase the tension within the village and also within the Boruto and KK. This may cause a civil war within the village and the team. The External conflict is the whole Mamushi situation.
Another good thing that happened within this arc is the side cast. The arc really involved the side cast. We got to see Shikadai use a jutsu we haven't seen before, Inojin learn a new jutsu, Hima evolve while fighting and Chocho doing Chocho things. One jutsu I will focus one is Shikadai jutsu. Instead of shikadai jutsu just using his father's side, he also involved his mother's side. That's how he was able to throw/spit the shadow onto the clones. (We also got to see Delta do Delta things.)
The chochgraphy within this arc was good. (One of my favorite parts is when Boruto used his byakugan to see the clones through the walls. After that he used the shuriken to bounce it off the walls and teleported to it and used a ransegan. It just brought back Sasuke and Itachi vibes. It also showed what Boruto learnt when he was with Sasuke.) The fighting was good. The teamwork was good.
One of the main things I like about this arc is the setup for the next arc or whenever it get brought up again. The main setup is Sarada eyes, Lord Kobu return, How is Ino and Sai gonna react to Inojin. Amado knowing KK shinjitsu know. (Will all of this lead to more separation of Boruto and KK?)
The MVP of this arc is Inojin. At the start I didn't like him. But now he's Grown on me. W Inojin. There's no need to dive into his development since it will take a long time and I have a life.
Another person I like is Lord Kobu...... I don't really have an explanation. I just like the dude. No Homo.
One thing I like about Daemon is he has limits which is good.
Things I didn't like:
The thing I didn't like is the arc was short. It would have been better if this arc just lasted for 1-2 more chapters.
Another thing is Eida situation. A lot of people thought Eldia was gonna die. I thought she was gonna die as well
But In my opinion I feel like Eida is more useful alive than died. The main reason is we still need her to develop the girls.
Either way it's bad she's alive because we may never see what happens when a Shinju devorwers their target. But also good since she can still develop Sarada and Sumire characters.
Another thing I didn't like is there was no Shinki. If there was Shinki this arc would have been an 100/10.
Without being bias. This arc is an 8.26/10.
(Note: Pls keep it civil in the comments.)
This is my opinion what's yours?
I suggest you all to binge watch the arc to get the full feeling.
