Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35: The Villain Shinju Feel Warmer Than the Heroes

Japanese fan reactions (excerpted from 50)

• I get that there's no helping it — biologically, and because you can't save the original people they were made from, and the world ends, so they have to be beaten. But honestly the Shinju were decent characters and I didn't want them to die… If anything, the "ally" side has way more genuinely vile people on it. It's stressful.

  生態的にも仕方がないし、倒さないと原型になった者も助けられないし世界が滅んじゃうから倒すしかないのもわかるんだけども、 人神樹たち割と良いキャラしていたので死んでほしくなかったんだよなぁ…… むしろ味方サイドの方が悪辣なヤツらが多くてストレス

• Aren't the Shinju kind of… weak though? I'm not really feeling the threat from them.

  人神樹さんたち、なんか弱くない？あんま脅威感じないんだけど

• Well, at the end of the day they were spawned by trash-tier Code from the Ten-Tails — which Naruto's generation managed to beat. The earlier ones were based on Moegi, Shinki and Bug, so they were pretty weak. But Jura's been on a whole different level since the last raid; he's not going down the same way.

  しょせんはナルト世代でも倒せた十尾からクソザココードが産み出した存在だからなあ これまではモエギ・シンキ・バグが元だったからかなり弱かったけど、流石に十羅は前の襲撃から別格だったし同じようには負けんでしょ

• Jura: "What… is this?" Hidari: "It's a pot cat." Jura: "Cute… give me… more." Hidari: "Next time. ☝️"

• So the cat was Hidari's adorable little Peanuts.

  猫は左のかわいいピーナッツだったか

• My theory: Masashi Kishimoto personally storyboards ONLY the Jura-and-Hidari scenes.

• That blend of serious and funny — I really feel the JoJo influence in it.

  そのシリアスとユーモアが混ざってる感じってのが凄くジョジョの影響受けてるとこだなと思う

• Code straight-up emergency-shutting-down because Amado's dad-jokes grossed him out had me cracking up 🤣

  コジが、アマドのおやじギャグにドン引きしたみたいに緊急停止してて笑った🤣

• I'm really curious what Amado's plan is — transplant Code's Claw Marks into Kawaki, or use Code as bait to bargain with Jura?

  コジの十方をカワキに 移植するか、コジをエサに ジュラと交渉するのか アマドの考えが気になる

  — @kinokoko23698 likes

• Feels like Kawaki was wary but still caught off guard. If he could manage his own offense and defense without leaning on Amado, you could imagine him killing Amado off and teaming up with Code instead — but right now Amado literally holds his heart in his hand.

  警戒してたが予想外だったという 感じな気がする。 カワキがアマドに頼らずに 自分の攻撃と防御を 調整できればアマドを始末して コジと組む展開もありそうなのに 現状はアマドが心臓を握りすぎてる

  — @kinokoko23692 likes

• With Kashin Koji written out, BORUTO is probably going to lean even harder on Otsutsuki Momoshiki now.

  果心居士が退場によって、BORUTOはもっと大筒木モモシキに頼ることになりそうやな。

  — @upohggv541 likes

• If the future doesn't change, then after beating Jura he's one-on-one with Kawaki (the Chapter 1 cold open) — which means he hasn't handed his body over to Momoshiki yet at that point. There might even be a reconcile-with-Momoshiki route.

  未来が変わらなければ、おそらく十羅を倒した後、カワキとタイマンしてる(1話冒頭)から、すぐにはモモシキに体を受け渡してはいない もしかしたらモモシキと和解パターンもありえる

  — @yo-bun-vo9zr4 likes

• Koji told Inojin to keep Mind Body Switch and the Mind Transmission Formation ready at all times — so he may well have known he'd get caught by Amado.

  居士はいのじんにいつでも心転身と心伝陣を使えるようにって言っていたから、アマドに捕まるの知っていた可能性あるかもね

• Is there a route where Jura turns into an ally here?

  これ十羅が味方になる展開もあるか？

  — @田中二郎-c4v9 likes

• I bet Jura comes to understand what "love" is in his next fight with Boruto's group, and then shows up as an ally for the unknown final-boss fight.

  十羅はボルト達との次の戦いで愛というものを理解して、 未知のラスボス戦では味方として活躍しそう。

• Compared to the NARUTO days, there's just no will to all band together — I wonder if that's a deliberate contrast between NARUTO and BORUTO.

  NARUTOの頃と比べて一致団結する気がない、のはNARUTOとBORUTOの対比なのかね

• I like that it's not about bonds or trust — it's everyone acting for their own mutual benefit.

  絆や信頼ではなくお互いの利益のためみたいなところが良いですよね

• The problem is I don't feel any appeal from Kawaki at all.

  カワキに何の魅力も感じないのがなぁ

• He's a small-timer running entirely on borrowed power, with almost zero of the "earned it through effort and brushes with death" growth — but maxed out on ego and forcing his will on others. Forget your normal ingrate; this guy repays kindness with betrayal at an absurdly high rate. He's the kind of person you should never get involved with. Watching someone like that strut around on power he was just handed and modifications… it takes stamina to sit through.

  ひたすら外付けの力で努力や死線をかいくぐり成長する要素の薄すぎる小物で、自分の我や押しつけだけは最高のガイジで、 通常の恩知らずならまだしも、恩を超高確率でアダで返す下衆というか、関わったら絶対ダメな奴だからね。 そんな奴が外付けの与えられた力や改造で威張ってるのが…見るのにも耐性要るね

• They could honestly do a Jura-and-Hidari town-strolling road-trip spin-off, like the Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles — complete with a shock "the decoy will be anyone but ME" twist.

  One Piece Chapter 1189: Shueisha to Fix Oda's Confusing Line in the Tankobon

  On July 29, a Japanese manga-reaction channel posted a video about a confusing line from One Piece Chapter 1189, one Shueisha has now confirmed will be reworded for the print volume. Across 324 comments, the top reply (342 likes) needled Oda's grammar directly. From there, the thread split into two tracks: readers trying to guess what Oda actually meant to say, and readers pivoting to blame the editorial team for letting it through in the first place. It ends on a joke nobody quite let go of — one about an entire fictional family that apparently can't tell its own sons apart.

  Hunter x Hunter: Gon and Killua Return After a 14-Year Hiatus

  On the newest Hunter x Hunter chapter, Japanese fans flooded a reaction video the moment Gon and Killua reappeared on the page after Yoshihiro Togashi's infamous hiatus — across 488 comments, the top-liked entry (2,615 likes) needed just one comparison to an entire other franchise's full run to land the joke. The comment section turns the length of the wait into its own genre of joke: one fan lists nineteen separate manga that fully started and ended in the gap, others do the math against Dragon Ball's eleven-year run and come out shaken, and one comment darkly notes there's no guarantee Togashi or anyone reading will even be alive for the next installment. Once the shock wears off, the thread pivots to Togashi's art style itself — fans joke that he's forgotten how to draw Gon, compare the new linework to an English textbook illustration, and half-seriously credit his wife with inking Killua's suddenly gorgeous eyes. Underneath the jokes, though, several comments genuinely well up at what the reappearance does in-story, including a moment about a queen quietly recognizing Kurapika's sincerity that one commenter calls flat-out unfair after so many chapters of dense political scheming — before the thread lands on one last punchline about just how long 14 years really is.

  Blue Lock Chapter 351: Isagi Calms Down a Furious, Benched Rin — What Japan Said

  Blue Lock Chapter 351 puts Isagi Yoichi face-to-face with a benched, furious Rin Itoshi — and instead of the fistfight longtime readers braced for, the two talk it out and end up weirdly, genuinely friendly. Japanese fans couldn't get over it. The most-liked comments circled a few threads: sheer relief that Rin and Isagi are on good terms now ("the old Rin would've turned this straight into a fistfight"); awe at how mature and senpai-like Isagi has become, with many crediting his temple-training arc; and a running gag that Isagi is secretly a "No.1 host" and full-blown demon lord who charms every rival he beats into a devoted fan. Add Kaiser and Ness resurfacing, and the fandom's verdict on the Isagi–Rin dynamic landed on one perfect, backwards word.

  Why Japanese Anime Keeps Winning: What Japan's Own Comment Sections Give Away

  Ask why Japanese anime is so hard to beat and the answer usually comes back as a pile of nouns. Budgets. Sakuga. I spend my nights reading and translating Japanese comment sections, a few thousand at a time, and from that side of the glass the answer sits much further upstream. Not in the show you streamed. In everything that got cut before it ever reached you. That part never shows up on a timeline.
