I need schmemtai

so I can skip to the final phase and feel satisfied

lol

whoever said I needed to reread from c1 is a complete and utter liar

To answer mrbec, it reminds me of a reality I shall never progress from.

I mean like I know how it is with truepurple, people hate him but aren't ever willing to even make a subpar/compelling argument for it...

but here he's literally just stating a fact, and adding onto the top comment, he isn't even in disagreement w/an ynoe come on😭

Then, I think you misunderstood me.

Basically it's easy to make the observation the mother is bad I thought there might be more nuance to it is all...ggwp

Custom --> cause

Ok.
Imma be real I interpreted it as aloof mother is written narratively to just reasonably avoid the problem, because otherwise it would be an easy fix.
And consequently wanted to justify my observations on how the character exists here not as a plot hole to conflict his story, which would indirectly make her a bad char.
But your breakdown here is extremely clear. Not like it's a revelation but put into words it is irrefutable, unlike normal.
Btw my hellbentness is just custom I like arguing against cliche arguments, or discussing in general. No worries 👍

Again training individuals to defend the country is different from combat-alizing every citizen, those new gen citizens in specifically referring to who are used to peaceful times.

Join --> jonin
Tldr; not every character is a militant

Are we stupid?
They ARE at peace, it is because peace is threatened by the potential of a serious threat Moreno than ever with naruto's sealing, that they're wary.
The constant surveillance not only would I completely believe if it was standard protocol because it is literal obvious utilization of ino's clan kkg, but is put in place to pick up on threats and fortify.
If they WERENT at peace, join would be stationed all over. Reconnaissance would be the norm again, there would be talks about support from other villages, etc etc.
How in the ever loving hell are you comparing a terrorist attack to the great wars? In terms of individual character I get it, but on a political and national scale it is incomparable.
Point being: I already addressed but their guards are up enough to face the threat of enemy, while steeling and retaining the peaceful air of konoha. The story picks back up now in blue vortex BECAUSE after such a long brief period that peace is finally being re-threatened.
Now, what was our argument. The child soldiers sacrificed in the bloody great ninja wars in the past should be reflected upon and reintroduced for a comparatively smaller threat at distant glance?
Since when does the leaf live under a regime? You won't find stray jonin squads wandering in the forests to kidnap you has a TB host or to steal your dojutsu anymore. I agree the training is a sentiment passed from the war eras they have yet to outgrow, but it is in the transitional state of moving away from those times that we see ninja who are half ready (trained and strong) but not half ready (unprepared and more focused on day to day lives)

The fact is these guys are not being sent on daily missions for the benefit of konoha, and not to the scale as before. There is no real reason for them as civilians to train, besides their heritage as ninja.
Under that perspective completely understandable himawari is in baggy pants. Is she even a genin?

Anime only*, not animals

I'd argue at most he lost all his battle instincts from unserious training, and circumvented that seriousness or dedication thru saiyan blood boiling rage
Battle instincts being completely distinct from being battle ready all the time every time, hence why he didn't utilize ki sense when pan (obsessed with strength and plays with piccolo every day) could.
The Gi thing I'd chalk up to some self limiter type sh, him just being off guard.
Think (animals only?) Killin throwing a rock and goku or how vegeta doesn't accidentally blow up the planet every time he is a lilbit pissed
And if anything self control and suppression of strength to the point of fumbling to a relatively lightweight object is a showcase of the fact that physically he has been training to stay in shape.
Conc: disassociate the true claim of battle instincts and by extension battle readiness with his training
Like ssj3 but he needed a warm up + tipping point first

Conflict is conflict bro...

It was implied he was training in secret, since he mastered the mankankasappo, AND was able to completely utilise it in a new form.

It definitely adds credibility to the "I'm finally able to safely tap into my innate power" type sh

But yeah, we don't get to see the training makesense.

you are like half a year late

Actually love a fighting character with baggy pants, but they're supposed to portray a "lax" attitude towards a lifestyle, or contrast their true attitude, thematically, typically.

Seeing it on everyone I get would be annoying tbf, but I don't mind it on himawari at all???

is she?!??!!?

No matter what uniforms aren't going to be standardised in an era where they are NOT at constant threat.

The attacks are random, asking kids (long overdue by now I get it) and peace cultured ninja to be constantly ready for battle when they are effectively battle ready with just their hands at disposal is unreal. The average citizen, even if as capable as; and utilised similarly to a militant; is not a militant...

In terms of the "that's so cool" I believe we were meant to cringe????
I saw it as a comedic scene, to break tension and out-world commentate on how ridiculous the current events were.

Genuinely just saw a kid who thought boruto was the coolest sh around, which gave me a chuckle (think one of those cliche cartoon scenes where the superhero flies by and everyone is in awe).

It doesn't literally tell you anything about the object of awe, it wasn't intended to.

Instead, it just tells us how simple minded the character making the statement, based off what we see, is.

The baggy pants I'm not sure are overdone, I can actually only remember himawari with baggy pants in recent times but I might just not be paying attention, not a diehard.
