Blogs and newsletters are great. I use mailerlite personally! There are options, I promise.
Idk why people use Substack when they could just have a blog ๐Ÿซ  Word press literally emails your readers when you have a new post, and they can read all of the blogs they follow in one place.

ONE WEEK until Boruto chapter 31 releases!

Get ready for the first official sneak peek later this week!

And fun little bonus, the story has already used Amado as a name to indicate love, Spanish from the Latin root amat, I love.

Repurposing Amaterasu here from Sasuke has that same western linguistic beginning of a Japanese mythological character name, possibly centering love as well.

I also don't think characters need a single 1:1 analogy. The name Amaterasu, that which illuminates heaven, shining in heaven, can be linked to revelation and knowledge.

Oh my gosh, how absolutely gorgeous. All that background work is yielding dividends!

The self satisfied smirk of a man who defeated his childhood trauma of never receiving praise or guidance (until Kakashi and he wasn't very good at it), and is at the extreme bare minimum, a better dad than his own father. #BortYog

There's a lot of Hindu influence influence in Naruto as well. I think it's especially possible for him to have learned more about it. The internet and libraries exist as fantastic references for writers.

Ooh that's a nice touch, because Boruto's subterfuge doesn't get revealed until the final match in the show versus the semis in the movie, there's this extra moment where Shikadai feels rightfully betrayed over the whole thing #BortYog

(That said, I'll leave the religion debate between you two with more specific knowledge, though I'm very happy to talk about the culinary origins of salad)

At the very least, it's a fun theory that (I think) was given more credibility by her revelations in chapter 21 and embrace of knowledge, ergo of a romantic variety, in addition to her dedication to restoring the world to its correct version, thus restoring everyone's original knowledge.

A salad isn't a topping, though. Maybe it's in the DBZ tradition, but it's not a topping.

Wren is from this specific region, too, and I trust her background and academic history to supply sound context.

For all its flaws, the true heart of Boruto characters is in the anime, even if the manga tells a much more straightforward, narrative-driven story.
February 11, 2026 at 10:03 PM
It's very funny that there are manga-only fans who think it's the anime's fault he's considered a brat where the anime does so much good work to give context to his behavior.
