Do you know hashirama sage mode is the perfect version of the same sage mode that jugo has, and that sage mode is connected to the chakra tree and and i think hagoromo train hashirama this sage mode and I think hashirama train jugo clan because of they can produce senjustu chakra and hashirama did that to prevent another marada and I think hagoromo only train hashirama to strong else to train next generation's to be strong else for fight again kaguya if kaguya ever comeback from her imprison of being seal away

[@bradleychan5684]

I guess that makes sense. Naruto Shippuden's tactics basically boiled down to shock and awe using overwhelming samurai/power ranger-Esq techniques of having the more powerful jutsu/spell or piloting a chakra Megazord. Boruto Blue Vortex's techniques are more nuanced with teleporting, dimension-creation, mind-wiping, jutsu-canceling, energy absorption and (of course) the constant game of "who is a cyborg, clone, alien, and/or tree-person?".

[@NameUserOf]

@@Codyslx Compare taijutsu in Naruto and Boruto and tell me which one is better? In addition to that it makes no sense with characters who are showing both skill and power of chunin at best. Naruto 16 y.o. would no diff Delta by feats without using nukes. Jigen would be wasted by either Sasuke or Naruto. Naruto's SM is somehow trash these days yet Mitsuki can hang out with Ootsutski level characters(they are technically by there but not by feats). Ishiki showed nothing feat wise to put him above any Kage in Naruto yet he is completely dominating both Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto uses some Fox suicidal mode that showed feats below 1 tail Naruto yet we somehow need to believe it's even stronger than Six Paths Sage Mode? Boruto makes no sense power wise. Taijutsu is beyond simple and not creative at all. In addition to this they don't use jutsu(no hand signs), they have unlimited energy with no context(in Naruto there was always some recharge moment). Simple strikes and kicks with powers activated on a whim with no cost or special conditions = worse than most Naruto fights. The only thing where Boruto excels at are belts. They're everywhere along with costumes that make no sense for shinobi to wear.

[@Deal2306]

I think there’s a difference between power creep and character power progression. Power to creep, in my experience and understanding from video games, is associated more to when the strength and abilities of characters scale out of control to where it violates the power system unreasonably or introduces a less reasonable, usually more highly scaled, power system with the previous more reasonable system. I think Boruto definitely has this.

[@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl]

Naurto was having power creep around time of kaguya introduction

[@Metalhammer1993]

​@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl yes but actually around Juubito was where it began to get bad. With Juubidara and EOS Naruto and EOS Sasuke it becomes ludicrous. Kaguya isn't that bad actually mainly because of how poorly she handles her power, but her fight IQ tones her power down a bit at least. Imho Edo Madara should've lost to the 5 Kage and Juubito should've been the series's power ceiling. He was insanely strong and it needed KSM Naruto and a Jugo-buffed EMS Sasuke to content with him but in the end when he was vulnerable literally EVERYONE helped ripping the tailed beasts out of him. That was insanely strong but "reasonable" for lack of a better term and required no bullshit external amp but "only" literally a combination of all powers Naruto and Sasuke ever had

[@young_raymond47]

To be clear, power creep in Shippuden is 100% an issue. The war arc really struggled to contain the power levels, and kept having to give people random upgrades so the cool characters could continue to contribute. A great example is Minato having sage mode because they discovered that only sage attacks could work on 10 tails jinchuriki. He caveat's it by suggesting that he isn't very good at sage mode, before instantly entering sage mode and showing that he is in fact a perfect sage. It was bad enough that he was a perfect jinchuriki with the other half of Kurama, so they could do that asspull of teleporting the entire shinobi alliance because Naruto had shared Kurama's chakra with them. It was just all over the place. Kishimoto made Madara too strong so he just made everyone else broken too. It wasn't very exciting for me. Boruto is even worse, but I cba to get into all of that.

[@GameCyborgCh]

With Minato it's weird because he has sage mode but like doesn't use it in any meaningful capacity. As for him saying he isn't good at using sage mode, IIRC he does say that he can't maintain it for long

[@razor3535]

Yeah I feel like this post used the massive power creep in the War Arc to justify the power creep in Boruto, when we didn't like it then either. Everything after the Pein arc just got completely out of hand. Naruto went from genin level (without kyuubi cloak) to maaaybe a lower Jonin level across his timeskip whereas Boruto cleared Jonin, Kage, 6 paths and hit the pinnacle of what we've seen in the series in the same amount of time. The two power boosts aren't even comparable.

[@young_raymond47]

@@GameCyborgCh The justification for Minato not being good at sage mode always read like a continuity issue to me. No one can maintain sage mode while moving around. The point of summoning Fukusaku and Shima is that they gather the sage energy for you while you move. It's as if Kishimoto just forgot about the mechanics of sage mode when he wrote that. If he was an imperfect sage, then it would at least look consistent.

[@CrisisPhoenix]

@@young_raymond47 Fukusaku and Shima were summoned to help gather and natural energy while in a fight and help stabilize it cause the person can't just stop in a middle of a life and death fight to enter sage mode safely, maintaining sage made for a prolong time is another issue on its own, but maintaining it in fight or while in motion was never a problem i remember being stated. Also the problem seems to be for a imperfect sage. cause Naruto as a perfect stage didn't have the same problems Jiraiya had.

[@young_raymond47]

@@CrisisPhoenix Naruto did have the same problems. Fukusaku attempted to teach him how to bind, it just didn't work because of Kurama. He came up with an alternative solution for replenishing his nature energy. My point is that as long as Minato can enter sage mode, they should hypothetically be able to maintain it indefinitely by binding with Ma and Pa. I don't understand why Minato feels that not being able to stay in the form is a signifier of his incompetence. Once you run out of nature energy, you lose the sage transformation. That's the same for everyone.

[@trevor5834]

Power creep isn't inherently a bad thing. It just must feel earned. Power cliffing at the end of Natuto was somewhat problematic with writing future narratives in the same IP, hence why Kishimoto went back to more hand to hand style of combat, but Boruto in TBV has powercliffed the already powercliffed. He comes back stronger than an AWAKENED Code while in base mode and plays with Code like he's a helpless child. A Code who is said to be on par or stronger than Jigen was. The same Jigen who already bodied pre-nerfed Sasuke and Naruto going all out. This feels like the type of powerup that comes at the end of a series, or after a timeskip where the MC has already shown that they could gain great power from training and saw that the powers he earned already couldnt go up against the new looming threat. Boruto was granted the Jougon for still unknown reasons. He is already a prodigy, being chunin level as a new genin. He's gifted the karma through fate and/or happenstance. And suddenly he's so freaking strong they had to add 4 new ostosuki level threats to contend with him. It's not cathartic to see massive powerups if they seemingly come without people actually having to strive for it.

[@emme12345654321]

Okay so love the videos but I hate that people think they have to constantly raise the power level to keep the story good. If you're a good writer you can keep the scale down while still writing a good story. Power creep doesn't have to happen but it just happens way too often. The real challenge is keeping it varied because you don't "raise the steaks" by increasing the power that you can get stale. Let me say this for instance, you can keep a story interesting by character development which doesn't require your strongest character being they're unless your developing them but even then you don't necessarily have to raise the power you just have to get creative in how you give him a challenge. Trust me it's possible just isn't easy.

Manga writers do manga for a reason, story telling isn't their strengths.

I think the biggest issue of power creep is the idea that they maintained Naruto and Sasuke in the story, power scaled them to Otsuski's, and still wanted to make it out that Boruto is somehow going to go even further beyond. Come the Time Skip and... He has (and hasn't) without justifying it proper. Of course he has the Karma seal, something that just got slapped into Boruto to justify the power creep out of nowhere, he's had 3 years to train, to get beyond Sasuke and Naruto, and now we are seeing everyone forcibly having to get to the same, or relative power level in order to have anyone be of any help. It is trying to tell us that everyone is approaching, or beyond, the strongest in the verse despite the fact the strongest of the past were still alive during this time and only aren't the strongest because they had to be hard nerfed or, quite literally, had their power taken away to have any stakes. Power creep will always exist, but power creep the disrespects, or undoes, what was already established just feels, and is, flat out distasteful.

[@PrimalIncentive]

Boruto did more for karma than Naruto did for Kurama, Boruto is a full Otsutsuki so it makes sense that he surpasses them. Everyone else aren't gonna ever reach that level which is why they have to jump their respective Shinju

[@loser108108]

@PrimalIncentive Naruto being handed Kurama from the get go has always been a bit of an issue when it came to Naruto being seen as an underdog, despite the fact he realistically had everything going for him (Insane Chakra pool as an Uzumaki, son of Minato, and being a Jinchuriki of the "good" half of the strongest tailed beast) but the claim Boruto is "full Otsutsuki" is complete fan based theory. Of course this could be proven as though but it isn't. Simply stating that Boruto is something out of pure speculation, albeit well informed, is still just speculation. Let alone, even if you wanna say he is a full Otsutsuski he DID NOT do anything to earn his Karma Seal. He was entirely given the victory/kill to earn himself the seal as a "This is Boruto's story" moment when, realistically, Naruto or Sasuke could have claimed it would it not have been for that idiot that refueled their biggest threat. Boruto did not do anything on par with Naruto to achieve the same power and yet he is going to surpass him nonetheless. He isn't even gonna lose his sensei cause it's Sasuke, who has not only been confirmed to still be alive but they sure as shit ain't gonna kill him even by the end when Boruto is suddenly Universe level on par with Shibai

[@PrimalIncentive]

@@loser108108 Boruto being a full Otsutsuki was literally stated in the manga tho💀 he's a full Otsutsuki and he only became it after sacrificing himself for those he loves. He did earn the karma tho💀 he saved the 5 kage with his vanishing rasengan, used his skill and Momoshiki's lack of knowledge on ninjutsu to stab his rinnegan which stopped him from absorbing then he landed the finishing blow. Naruto did a lot more than Naruto💀 enough to to DESERVE THIS POWER. Naruto didn't work for most of his power ups(which he got in the span of a 2 day war)while Boruto trained for 2 days, he didn't lose Sasuke but he DIED, got his arm broken, got his back broken, lost an eye and lost his life in the village. He's the same as Naruto except he isn't forcing the underdog thing

[@loser108108]

@PrimalIncentive I will admit I don't read the manga like a bible, one google search showing that they did in fact state Boruto is full alien now, but it in fact only proves further it was entirely unearned. Boruto sacrificing himself was a noble dead, yes, but it's not like he did it so that he would be revived as full Otsutsuki. So you talking about him earning it is completely negated by the fact this was done outside of his will and, just like Naruto, handed to him despite his inability to choose. Trying to say he earned the karma is also not at all acceptable when it was Naruto who gave him the chakra and power needed for the massive rasengan, Sasuke helped in duping and getting Boruto as close as he did, and the final blow was still just handed to Boruto just cause Naruto was out of commission while being a pin cushion. And the claim that Naruto got his power ups without earning them is completely false. From the get go he is handed everything, yes, but Naruto still put in the effort to train as strong as he is. He learned the Rasengan despite being ill suited to the method needed to do so. He had to face Kurama and win to earn his first stage cloak. He befriend Kurama, and the rest of the tailed beasts, to earn his second stage cloak. And during the empty years he trained even more to get as strong as he is in Boruto. The single power up he got handed, after being born strong, was the same power up Sasuke got, and both lose, during the war from Haguromo to seal away Kaguya and prove he loves Sasuke as more than a friend (Bowchickabowow) So before trying to act like you're the biggest brain of the comment section, why not use that alleged brain power to think before you type. I'll admit when I'm wrong without being a snarky zoomer

[@PrimalIncentive]

@@loser108108 Him not doing it with the intention to become full Otsutsuki doesn't take anything away tho? Did Naruto go into the war expecting six paths chakra? No, did he train for it?

You're going to say he trained for rasengan like every rasengan user didn't have to do that INCLUDING BORUTO🤦🏿 said he earned the first kurama cloak despite the fact that he had HELP FROK 2 PEOPLE JUST LIKE BORUTO. Boruto trained to control and activate v1 karma so he earned it, he sacrificed himself and became full Otsutsuki so he earned that as well. Only a Naruto fan could be so much of an hypocrite that he counts befriending monsters as earning but beating one with help isn't🤦🏿if we use CONSISTENT logic then he got handed every power up except for sage mode. He got handed kcm2, got handed six paths sage mode which he kept up until the Isshiki fight, got handed tailed beast chakra etc....

Avatar the last airbender managed power creep in the best way of any IP I’ve experienced. The full power and scope of Aang’s power was planned from the beginning, so they were able to plan out the exact walk to the “endgame level” so that progression felt organic, there was a hard limit of max power, and it was intended that these progressions of scale never overstayed their welcome. And then that scaling breaks when Korra starts because it’s following the next generation, with power scaling established where Aang’s peak is now closer to the baseline - or at least the “first hurdle” to overcome.

[@thecrazycapmaster]

There’s an interesting compromise that could be made to avoid the power creep concerns: go TWO generations beyond the original cast. Now Boruto’s grandfather Naruto is still Hokage, but is a lot more like the 3rd Hokage- still insanely powerful, but getting old, losing stamina and reflexes and such, finding it harder to recover from a tough battle, etc. He can still swoop in to save the day against the biggest bads, but his health becomes a bigger problem each time he overexerts himself or has to heal from a major injury. New baddies are rising and Naruto can’t deal with them because his own power is waning. The sun is setting on Naruto’s era, his grandson Boruto now has to find his path in this evolving world.

[@siliarba]

I think my only issue in terms of Power Creep in Boruto is that I feel they went after opponents who could be comparable with an Akatsuki level threat too early on. When they were faced with the evil organization Kara, I felt like they should've dealt more with actual genin and chunin level threats before so quickly jumping to inner circle people. This way people in Naruto and Sasuke's weight class could be focusing on learning about the inner circle and having some stalemate fights with them, while Boruto and his compatriots dealt with the outer circle threats for a while. Eventually leading to Boruto having built up enough experience to start dealing with inner level stuff. I don't mind the ridiculous levels of power because it was already established it was going to go there, I just wish it didn't go there at, what to me felt like, a breakneck speed.

The issue is power Creep tied with Worf aspects.

Naruto and Sasuke are not treated as the Big Goods in scenarios and they keep on writing them to be off the stage so Boruto can do things.

[@loliH9]

The anime during its slice of life arcs was fine. It's the manga that it's the issue. It changed names, had a time skip, sent the protagonist into the wilderness, and put the previous protagonists out of commission and we still don't have a single compelling concept, plot line, scheme, or villain. Any other manga would've been canceled years ago, like during the Ao arc, but this is Shueisha's baby so I guess we have to put up with it.

Honestly the problem with Boruto isn’t necessarily power creep but the undermining of OG characters we love. Introducing hax villains and making the og said characters look like they lack any iq. Like why is Naruto’s six paths sage mode abilities never used after the war and why does Sasuke never use any other paths of the rinnegan. Boruto also is given every hax ability in TBV, while Naruto literally wasn’t at sasuke’s level until the Pain arc and showed real development and progression. There is no actual funny/comedic, deep or emotional moments in boruto besides kurama’s death or involving og characters. Also no one likes a character given everything bc the writers love this kid so much, boruto needs to balance both the newer era of characters and also pay homage to the original character we saw develop for 700 episodes . Who cares if it’s a stand alone series, we only care about boruto because of Naruto.

the term Power Creep is not mainly used in manga, but in all the fictious universes: games (RPGs, TCGs, etc), all kind of literature, etc. Is just a term to describe that the old is surprassed by the new in order to focus the relevancy in the new. Ex1: a old card in TCG (magic, yugioh, pokemon) is made with similar atributes but with a better version of itsefl, making the old card irrelevant in comparison in order to increased the desire of said card to up the sales Ex2: a weak version of a monster in a RGP that later in the game is copied with a different color to show the growth of stats Ex3: new villan that shows up to increase the hurdle for the heros, like dragon ball as you said

I feel like too many anime fans look at strength and fighting prowess as a linear number that just goes straight up and makes you perfect, when it's a wheel of traits that all need to be trained respectively. Someone who is strong against one type of opponent isn't going to be that same kind of strong against every opponent. Boruto is taking the time to remind everyone that these characters are extremely capable and adaptable and will grow in whatever direction is necessary to overcome a diverse set of obstacles, instead of always just pulling out the next bigger shinier gun.

[@damerrz5956]

i think with things like naruto learning the rasengan really quickly the theme of ninjutsu vs technology is also in big play here. Relatively everyone like kid himiwari being really good at using the byakugan at a young age, i think people are also just able to learn and apply things alot faster. before the timeskip it didnt take much at all for boruto to learn multiple new rasengans like the compression rasengan. even in the movie yes he was given chakura but was still able to handle the intensity of a giant rasengan at such a young age. with technology and the karma it is esentally programmed into you and to match with that we have quick learners. with naruto having the time skip with jiriya getting stronger boruto was almost undoubtedly going to at least scale exponentially being with both sasukae and kashin koji. Sasukae was an expert at combat and was witty, while kashin koji could teach him more like utilizing frogs and sage mode. Boruto being able to utilize all aspects of combat to his advantage plus being a quick thinker and learner makes it easy to believe he could have a power increase this big. And naruto while always taking training seriously had lost nothing yet, while boruto has lost everything which makes dedicating himself to training and bringing back his loved ones even more impactful on his training.

on a separate note idk if you have answered these questions before but i thought of two in a recent rewatch of naruto. 1 in the sasuke fight with deidara since we know explosion release is ussed to make his bombs explode. why does chidori turn off the explosion? i tried doing a bit of research and most common example i see is "because its part earth style and lightning beats earth" ignoring the fact its also part lightning style and "earth is the bomb and lightning is the fuse so its not a true combination element like the others and sasuke essentially shorted the fuse" in which case why is it listed as a combination release if its really not then? and secondly do we know or have any examples of if you get the bease elements of a combination release you gain from a tailed beast. liek for example would roshi have both earth and fire regardless of his own chakra nature because of son-goku? or if kakashi got shukaku would he be able to fill in his missing wind release because he also gets magnet release?

[@SpaceHov]

Honestly, one of the things i thought was weird was how Jigen/Isshiki just zoomed through their "chakra mechs" like the armor of the perfect Susanoo doesnt crack, Kuramas cloak doesnt flicker and distort, he just seemingly P H A S E D straight through. If he done something to make it make sense like: absorbed part of it with the karma, used his dojutsu, or straight it showed him crashing into the chakra and it giving way, showing wild physical strength.
