Boruto and Naruto, while both set in the world of ninja, offer distinct experiences. Some audiences may like Boruto better, while others might like Naruto better, but most audiences find his story more streamlined with a strong focus on his unique path and the evolution of the ninja world. His fighting style and abilities are seen as more advanced and diverse because he masters a wider range of techniques than Naruto. He has proved himself to be smarter than not just Naruto, but many major Naruto characters who spend time training and trying to control their powers. Below, you will find reasons why some fans prefer him over Naruto.
Character Development and Focused Storytelling
Many see him as a product that strongly focuses on individual growth. His animation, music, and character development are better. Boruto, as a product, understands how to utilize filler and intertwine it in the plot. He offers a compelling case for improvement over Naruto with its character development and fighting styles. His character development shows a progression from a bratty, resentful teen to a more focused and empathetic shinobi. Through various experiences and challenges, he learns to respect his father and the shinobi way, developing a strong desire to protect those he cares for.
Improved Animation and Production
He benefits from modern animation, resulting in smoother transitions and a more dynamic action sequence. His soundtrack is considered to be of high quality and enhances the overall viewing experience. Some also like his new world, and him being a more complete fighter. His style builds upon the Naruto aesthetic while incorporating elements of modern anime.
New World, With a More Efficient & Versatile Fighting Style
Naruto relied heavily on clones; Boruto is seen as a more skilled and efficient fighter while using various jutsu and techniques with better purpose and effectiveness. He uses a blend of his father’s strength and his mother’s fighting style (Hinata’s gentle fist techniques), with a focus on strategic thinking and adaptability. He also possesses advanced chakra control, allowing him to perform techniques with one hand and enhance his abilities. He masterfully wastes no time getting into action.
My thoughts on the two
Boruto, to me, is a more complex fighter and seems so impressively powerful in his own universe than Naruto. His storyline dives deeper into the realness of the world. That’s just my opinion, and some may beg to differ.
