Similar but not the same!　Naruto and Bolt Father and Son

That little, lone Naruto has come a long way, I think ....... This feeling may be stronger than when I saw "THE LAST -NARUTO THE MOVIE-" at the end of last year.

BORUTO BORUTO -NARUTO THE MOVIE-" is the latest film version of "NARUTO". Naruto has grown up and fulfilled his dreams, finally becoming the leader of Kinohagakure no Sato, the seventh Hokage, and a father.

The hero of this film is Uzumaki Bolt. He is the son of Naruto and Hinata Hinata, who were married in "THE LAST -NARUTO THE MOVIE-," the movie version of which was released last year.

The mischievous Bolt, who is just the same age as Naruto was when "Naruto" started, makes me nostalgic. Yes, "Naruto" was such a work. It has become a major epic drama, but it was originally a story that began with one boy's searing loneliness, pain, and sadness. ......

However, the time period was different and the family environment was different from that of Naruto. Bolt was born in the village of Kinohagakure, where the Fourth Shinobi War had ended, without knowing of the war, and grew up with the love of his family. He is a "modern child" who grew up with the love of his family. He is hard-working and has a child-like cheating nature. Above all, he is strongly opposed to his father, Naruto, who is too busy to spend time with his family. He is a good and honest boy at heart.

Naruto, too, has become an adult. What awaits him after becoming the Hokage he has always dreamed of is a desk job with a mountain of paperwork and overworked days where he can't even go home. This part of the story feels too realistic and a bit sad.

Naruto, whose parents have passed away, is hesitant because he does not know how to treat his children as a father. Bolt is refracted by the loneliness of not being cared for enough by his father. If the battle-filled "Naruto" was a historical drama, this is a modern drama with "family" as its theme.

When you think about it, 15 years have passed since the original comic series began. The readers who were 10 years old when the series started should now be 25 years old. They may have experienced the harshness of society and may be thinking, "It wasn't supposed to be like this. In this light, this change may be surprisingly familiar to fans who were once children.

Naruto and Sasuke's battle is the best treat for fans!

There are many ways to enjoy the show, but for fans who have been watching it for a long time, the most exciting thing will be Naruto and Sasuke's harmonious fighting together.

The two were friends and rivals who studied together in the same Team 7. They once faced off as pursuers of an unforgivable ex-ninja who had escaped from his village and was ordered to be punished. Sasuke was so entrenched in resentment and hatred that it seemed as if Naruto's feelings for him would never reach him again. However, Naruto never gave up on getting Sasuke back. As a result .......

The story is a very touching one, as it shows how the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke has come to this form after the long days of battle.

The action scenes are superb throughout the film. The enjoyment of the shinobi action of "Naruto," which is so well represented in the anime, is all here.

First, there are the eye-catching ninjutsu battles, such as the spiral round and shadow altercation. They are easy to understand, ninja-like, and fun for children to watch. The training process can also be described in an interesting way.

Then, in the chunin examinations, the unexpected developments and the individual personalities and tactics of each ninja come to life. It reminds us of the chunin examinations that Naruto and the other ninja took in the past.

Furthermore, the physical competitions in which the ninjas compete against each other to the best of their physical abilities. The flow of the story, which is brought into a stage where ninjutsu is restricted, is natural and flawless.

The climax of the film is the great battle of the monsters, in which all the power is exerted!　Naruto and Sasuke cooperate with each other in this battle, which makes it all the more exciting.

Naruto and Sasuke, now mature adults, fight with great dignity. They remind us of the strength of their instructors and parents, such as Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato, in the battles of the past, and embody "what is passed down from generation to generation.

While the battles are exciting, images of memorable people who have already passed away are inserted here and there to provide a detailed service. The fact that those who are no longer with us have nothing to do with the current peace in Kinoha no Sato satisfies the hearts of the fans.

It makes you feel like a relative's aunt or uncle!

In "Naruto," the reader's horizons expanded along with the actions and growth of the main character, Naruto. In "Boruto: Bolt -NARUTO THE MOVIE-," Bolt is the main character, but as an ensemble piece, readers can also see the story from each character's point of view. You can watch the story as if you were watching a family of relatives you know well.

Indeed, watching Bolt, Salad, and the other junior generation members makes you feel like an aunt or uncle of your relatives. It is the oishi-sa of such a sequel that makes us want to think about what they will do in the future.

Bolt's desire to be the strongest without making any effort makes me want to say, "Are you a "cool" guy? But I can't hate him because he is a lonely child who wants his father to take care of him.

From the first preview, I thought, "Naruto's son and Sasuke's apprentice is a very good position for Bolt. Having my father's rival as a master is a burning setup that reminds me of the master-disciple relationship between Piccolo and Son Gohan in "DRAGONBALL.

One of the themes of the film would be how a child without the loneliness, hunger, and doggedness that were the foundation of Naruto could do his best, and what would sustain him.

Uchiha Salad, the cool glasses-wearing daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, is also quite cute. She is not a typical heroine, just like her mother Sakura. She and Bolt are good teammates. The incident that is a prequel to the movie, in which she struggles with her parent-child relationship and awakens her Sharan Gan, can be enjoyed in the comic "Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Moon.

Mitsuki, who teams up with Bolt and Salad in threesomes, is a calm and gentle boy who is always cool and dependable. According to the comic book's outside story, he "came from another village some time ago," so Bolt and Salad don't know much about him yet.

The mystery of whose child Mitsuki is is one of the film's pleasures. To pull it off just because it is not the main point of this storyline!　In the end, the answer that was most on my mind after seeing the film was, "Oh, so that means ......?　If so, does that mean ......?　That's the ...... I'd rather see in the sequel!" And I was thinking about this and that.

It's not over yet!　Looking forward to the sequel of the Bolt generation!

This time it was the story of Naruto and Bolt, but as this happens, I would like to see the activities of the three-man cell of Bolt, Sarada, and Mitsuki. It is also shown that there is a new seed of disquiet in the five shinobi powers.

If this happens, we can only hope for a sequel to "Boruto: Bolt -NARUTO THE MOVIE-. I guess it is part of the aim to make us feel that way, but we are taken for a ride. If there is a sequel, I'll go see it in the movie theater!

To begin with, the TV series "Naruto Shippuden" has not finished yet.

Naruto Shippuden" is currently in the midst of the fourth Shinobi World War, the final battle in the original story. It is slowly developing over time, interspersed with original episodes and episodes that delve deeper into each character.

This is also amazing when you think about it. The original comic was completed last fall. In the movie, the story of the main character's love as a young man and the story of Junior and the other characters are being fully depicted under the supervision of the original author, but the climax of the TV anime, which is the final volume of the comic, has not yet been completed.

But the climax of the TV anime, the final volume of the comic, has yet to be seen.

If you miss the little Naruto after watching "Boruto the Movie," you can go back and watch the anime and comics. If you follow the long story from there again, you may be able to experience the climax of the anime in real time now.

Sequels and next-generation versions of popular comics and animations of the past have appeared one after another, and when a next-generation version is developed in this way without any interval after the completion of the main story, I think it is possible to enjoy them in this way as well. What a luxury.

After 15 years of serialization, "Naruto" is still in the process of new development, and I wonder what kind of progress it will make in this unprecedented realm. It will be interesting to see how it will progress in this unprecedented realm.
