and by like it is now, Boruto, it didn't used to deny homosexuality existed

 

 

very early into Naruto

do you recall Haku

he was a boy around Naruto's age who's main establishling line confirmed he had a crush on Zabusa, and he and Naruto flirted with eachother, and all Naruto had to say when Haku said he was a boy was "you're even prettier than Sakura"

 

 

 

but then Boruto happens

Bro, I am sorry but I totally do not recall that arc of Naruto happening like that with the exception of him saying he was prettier than sakura. There's nothing necessarily gay about that though. I'd have to look into the original Japanese to be sure, sometimes things get lost in translation that do kind of indicate things but I'm not aware of that particular instance being one of them.

An instance of this that I do know about exists in Hunter x Hunter when Killua uses language which is commonly used in a romantic sense to describe Gon. I think it was like "You are my light" or something like that.

Also if anything Boruto has what could be construed as a more overt homosexual tone in Mitsuki's character, though it's not really clear that he is. The implication is certainly there. I'm not sure if AS has gotten to Mistuki's character yet though. He is one of the main characters in the series though.

Btw if you expect Boruto to be anything like Shippuden, it will not be like that for quite a while. There isn't much hard action in it until about episode 20ish. Most of the early portions of the anime are kind of establishing world building differences between the new modern shinobi world and the world as it was during Naruto's youth. With the exception about 3 arcs which are about 5 episodes each the first 60ish episodes are like that mostly slice of life with a little action, heavy emphasis on introducing characters, setting up backgrounds, and world building.

A lot of people have hated on it for being starkly "softer" at first than the original. I happen to like the structure of the story better than the original but I'm probably in the minority there as I like long built up stories as long as they aren't poorly structured or nonsensical (in relation to their own world).

What I definitely do like: Sarada easily the greatest child improvement over her parents both in character and in the way she is utilized in the story. She's useful and relevant unlike Sakura and is not overtly depressing and nihilistic like Sasuke. Boruto is actually a deeply flawed character, but it works with the direction of the story. Fair warning much about his character is somewhat unlikeable until the arc around episode 60 in which there are rather dramatic improvements imo.

Mitsuki is easily my favorite character but he won't show up for several episodes (I think 12ish before he appears maybe?)

Cool. Looking forward to more Sarada.
