I haven’t listened to the entire thing yet (because it’s like two hours long) but I’ve listened to the first 12 minutes and it’s very enjoyable so far! If you would like to listen to a podcast of people talking about all the ways that Hiruzen is a) bad or b) badly written, have a listen!
One note so far regarding what the deal is with the Sarutobi and the InoShikaCho. Here are the panels in question, with the official VIZ translation:
Now, I think prior to Boruto, a lot of people extrapolated from this that the Sarutobi were in a teaching/leading relationship to the InoShikaCho trio, because of that word “authoritative”; also I’m not sure how scanslations handled these panels.
Why did Kishimoto bring the Sarutobi into this at all? What the hell does he intend here, if the Sarutobi aren’t actually teachers of InoShikaCho?
Look forward to Bort making Konohamaru, who hasn’t interacted with Bort’s InoShikaCho at all, suddenly get shoehorned into some plot with them in order to make him giving them the earrings mean something.
(Also when I heard @math-is-magic say Snakebert I was so proud. Go out into the world and spread the Good News, my child.)[3]
