the way kaguya snuck up on naruto and sasuke thru her own portal was really freaky

[@codycraig8805]

I used to really hate that OP. But it's really grown on me. I love the transitions between all the characters, they did a really good job with that. And as Suraj caught on, there's a lot of symbolism. It's one of my favorites now.

Without context a lot of the stuff shown in intros flies over people's heads anyways. People like to look at it with hindsight knowledge and go, "Oh, that would've ruined the surprise," when in reality their reaction probably would've been not noticing it or going "what the fuck is that?"

[@MisterViewtiful]

This opening theme song is from the same band that did the second theme song for the original Naruto anime. Abs the band is called Asian Kung Cu Generation. One of my favorite J-rock bands. And that song your thinking is Haruka Kanata. Fighting dDeamers is by FLOW and is actually called Go!!.

[@matros2l]

2:25 They make these intros because they take it for granted that you have written the manga which came way earlier than the series. Now you are just exited to see the sketches taking life and form.

[@mab2187]

Kaguya's theme song sounds like Pains but with a female tone. Really cool.

[@zaglabanth]

The reason theres a lot of spoilers in the intros is because manga is way more prevalent in japan. People read it and talk about it openly. I work in kyoto and have my coworkers ask me what happened in x chapter so they have something to look forward to. Outside of japan theres very much a culture of Mangareaders vs Showwatchers but thats not the case in Japan

[@darryljack6612]

What I love most about Kaguya is that even though for all of her God like power, she is still just a Mom. Even though she was sealed away by them and was pained by the choice they made, she still loves her sons in her heart. Also it needs to be stated that Kaguya is stupidly OP, so much so it seems like she comes from a whole different anime. This being due to the fact that Kaguya is a very well known Goddess in japanese religion/folklore. So a lot of thought went into her design and abilities, especially with her seeming so ghost like as many Japanese gods are described as.

[@HaloManTheSpider]

I remember Toonami showing off SSJ3 Goku during previews of the DBZ Buu saga, and this was like 2 episodes into the saga.

[@Akatsukileader9]

I must admit, as someone that stopped watching the anime when they started putting weird filler arcs in between canon arcs so you couldn't skip them, Kaguya is much scarier in the anime than she is in the manga. Also I guess I wouldn't call Black Zetsu a literal child, but she is a living being created by Kaguya, so she is his mother through and through.

[@houseofaction]

black zetsu is literally kaguya's child.

[@Akatsukileader9]

@@houseofaction Well. Some people would understand that as Kaguya being with some guy, getting pregnant and then giving literal birth to Black Zetsu from her vagina. Which sure, I don't know for sure that it didn't happen, but I don't find it that likely.

[@paradoxhamartia7843]

Did it really tho? I have this vage memory of child me being like "uh oh, why is Goku blonde in that final shot? And who is the purple haired guy?" since the saiyan saga. But then again, it's been so many years ago that I'm not even sure myself anymore... good old childhood days, lol.

[@alexcavoli6191]

The glowing crystal is probably supposed to be "The Will of Fire".

[@Coldvader]

I think it is a diamond pickaxe

[@MrRabatata]

nah it doesn't feel right specially because naruto was trying to get it so bad and sasuke tried to run away from it then destroy it

[@LauraVivian]

for me it was the "bonds" between people, how Naruto wanted so bad, how Sasuke tried to deny it, how it broke between Kakashi and Obito, and then all of shinobi pursue it as they all got together for the fight.

[@MrRabatata]

@@LauraVivian yeah that's why i though too ties/bonds but Itachi confuses me because he had it and he gave it away.

[@LauraVivian]

@@MrRabatata i think Itachi gets it in the end because it was his arc, and it was young Itachi cuz he had bonds to protect, the normal op has Naruto taking it with a fierce look, as hes protecting everyones bonds now. Itachi had it because he was also the one who protected the village from the shadows, but he looks more sad. Well thats my interpretation.

[@LeoTheSunHashira]

15:54 legends best know of that place in boruto or the boruto movie, after all, we got to see some sick moves from the rinnegan wielder himself.

[@HeatKingMedia]

You wanna know what Black Zetzu is? He's Period Blood. Black Period Blood. If you watched the next three episodes already you know it to be true because we all saw him poop out underneath from Kaguya's robes. Also relax, there's no spoilers in any of these openings anymore. You can watch with your concious clear. Also Openings serve to get you hyped and let you know what arc is next. Its only a spoiler if you question it and look to deep into it. I watch anime and the openings and don't give a crap if it shows spoilers. The journey is more important and like I said, its only a spoiler if you really dive into and try to analysis every nook and cranny of it instead of just enjoying the visuals.

[@r33lsniper18]

The foreshadowing of Boruto in the episode and the next is pretty cool

[@BishopTDE]

You guys also need to Watch Naruto the last

[@LealFireball]

This is just a personal interpretation but I think Black Zetsu is based on kurokos; in kabuki theather, black is a color seen as "invisible", the staff that set up the background and everything manipulate the scene so the actors can play their roles are called kurokos and are completely dressed in black. Kuroko also has two different spellings in japanese, where one means simply "clad in black" while the other means the same, the kanji can also be read as "black child".

[@RayramAureanBlue]

- The intro where they're chasing the crystal has four different versions. Each version has a different character at the end successfully acquiring the crystal with Itachi being the last. You can see a comparison if you type in "Naruto Shippuden opening 18 all versions". - The moon's formation was a result of a Mars sized planet named Theia colliding with the young Earth. This collision added mass to Earth and the leftover debris coalesced into the moon. - The story of the boy with the injured arms didn't have the boy attempt to convince his mother, she voluntarily gave him the handjob to relieve his sexual tension. This eventually escalated into an incestual experience that, unlike Oedipus, supposedly neither of them regretted.

[@PawanSharma-wk2hk]

Suraj your question at 7:11 made me laugh for non-stop every time I watch the clip from 7:11 . I can't tell you in detail but you gonna have to take those words back from the starting of the series.

[@therupz]

The first scene of Boruto will always be goated!

[@delix787]

Back in the day. People were trying to figure out what actually happened. 1. Kishimoto wrote himself into a hole and couldn’t beat Madara! So Kaguya happend! 2. He planned for Kaguya but was having too much fun with both Obito and Madara, and was running out of time so he introduced Kaguya at the last minute. Which is probably why she barely has any personality.. 3. Kaguya needed to happen for business reasons for Boruto! Without her there is (NO) sequel! Kishimoto wanted to retire but shonen jump wanted more storytelling! At first he refused but. He gave his work to his long friend (Mikio Ikemoto) Who apparently was having a hard time with getting published in Shonen jump! So Kishimoto was being nice, so he gave his work to his friend so he had something to prove to the company! 4. Kishimoto till this day has not completely opened up about The Madara/Kaguya twist. And I’m afraid we shall never know the actual truth what went wrong. 5. Kishimoto said during the last remaining chapters of Naruto he had a hard time drawing with his health!! It was declining and the fans started to realize things were rushing very hard… Which is why Kaguya Felt like a cool concept but was executed poorly.

despite what they say on this, Kaguya isn't actually the progenetor of chakra. chakra is the fusion of physical and spiritual energy. if she absorbs all of their chakra they will die SPOILERS they literally confirm this in Boruto, its stated that the otsutsuki clan go from planet to planet, they plant a baby 10 tails which consumes the, natural energy, life force and chakra's of its inhabitants until it grows into a shinju. than a chakra fruit sprouts and they than harvest the chakra for their clan.

Japanese people tend (obviously not everyone) don't care about spoilers in the same way American's do. Like it's not uncommon to have a big reveal to the end of a drama be in a news article or something. Entertainment is more about the road to the reveal than it is the reveal itself. Is Kaguya's image spoiled for you? Sure, but you have no clue who she is or why she is in the intro so the idea is it builds intrigue and anticipation.
