A polarizing moment in the Naruto and Boruto series has sparked heated discussions among fans. Comments about a seemingly pointless page featuring Sumire have split opinions, with many questioning its significance in the broader narrative.
Three months ago, a page depicting Sumire simply walking through a door left some fans scratching their heads. Critics labeled it among the worst in the series, while others assert it serves a deeper narrative purpose. The divide has been evident in various forums where fans passionately debate its value.
Foreshadowing and Cinematic Elements:
Some fans see the page as critical foreshadowing. One comment noted, "Sumire putting her finger to a keypad literally points to Code's return," highlighting the expectation of future plot developments.
Transition Scenes and Filler:
Others argue that the slow pacing in a monthly series invites unnecessary filler. "It's just a transition scene," one user remarked, suggesting that similar scenes have appeared in other manga, pointing to a trend of drawn-out moments.
Cinematic Techniques:
Some users defended the artistic choice, saying, "It builds and leads to a climax, giving a cinematic feel to the scene." They compare it to techniques found in works like Chainsaw Man, where pacing often diverges from traditional storytelling.
"Worst, most pointless page, with the worst and most pointless character," said one frustrated user.
Positive sentiments surfaced too, emphasizing the artistic vision behind the storytelling choices. Meanwhile, many acknowledged the frustration with filler moments in a monthly release.
