Not much different than Naruto thought
But your arteries.
Yes, and while we had 15 years to get used to it, it doesn't change the fact Minato was awful for naming his first born after a porn novelist character, that said novelist admitted he thought up while eating Ramen.

Ramen > Burrito
Like I explained over in that Boruto thread, I simply don't buy it. Even ignoring the "sharada -> sarada" jump (Japanese transcriptions of Sanskrit can indeed be a bit funky, and I wouldn't pretend I'm particularly familiar with them), I can't even find a single reference to that "Sharada" name on the Japanese web. Saraswati herself isn't particularly well-known in Japan in the first place (they're more about Benzaiten).
Nah.
It's actually kinda clever, especially for a series like Naruto.

I firmly believe that the Karin thing is a fake out. I'm more pissed that Kishimoto just has Sakura as some broke house wife. The woman that fought on the front lines of the war, surpassed Tsunade and old lady Chiyo in medical ninjutsu,The new Slug summoner and master of the 100 healing technique. A woman that punched a god in the face...
Is just doing laundry that faints because of a loan?
Really Kishimoto?

lol when was this?
Last I checked Naruto got his Senju arm via Tsunade not Sakura
lol and we all know that scene was a cop out
Damn, I remember how unique looking and OP Robin's DF ability was during the Arabasta Arc. It's sad to see gow Robin agency and power as character degrade so much after Skypea.

Am I the only one who dislikes Boruto with passion. I mean the little fucker is spoiled as fuck and he complains that his father doesn't give him enough attention when Naruto is Hokage. The fact he complains for no good reason and acts like a brat even though he's living the good life makes me detest this brat. Like Naruto actually had a good reason to be like that as a kid because he had no one, but this kid has everything and he still acts like a shitty brat. At this point Boruto is basically Naruto 2.0 who's a spoiled brat. Sheesh even Salad has more of a reason to act like him considering her family, with Sasuke being a shitty father.
I don't want to be a cynical jerk but Naruto should just end rather than rehashing shit and this is coming from a person who liked Naruto in the beginning.

There is actually a lot of subtle differences between Naruto and Boruto. Sure he can be bratty, but it seems he still has respect for most of his teachers and what not. Only acting out for his dads attention. He also seems to have mutual respect for his classmates as well as vise versa. He more calm and he seems to understand the situation, (He knows that his dad is busy. Which is why he didn't really care if it was a shadow clone chasing after him or the real one. Just the fact that his dad was there was enough)

Christ dude. He's a kid that wants to spend more time with his dad. Give the kid a break. We haven't seen nearly enough of Boruto to know anything about him yet.
I honest have no ideal where all this Boruto hate is coming from.

Yeah I know he wants to spend time with his father, but at least his father isn't dead or just left like Salad's father. I mean he's just spoiled and causing trouble even though his life isn't shit. He literally has a perfect family compared to Salad's. It's like Naruto all over again but with Boruto parents alive and well.

I missed the discussion on the Boruto thread, so I'm sorry if we are treading ground already crossed.
I think even if Saraswati herself isn't a popular or well known deity in Japan (being that they associate with her as Benzaiten), I think it is entirely possible that much in the same way certain other writers had incorporated non-Japanese myths/names/terminology into their stories when they had little to no full understanding of them, but decided to do some measure of research, Kishimoto might have done the same and did a bit more than just type in too Google and see a list of Hindu/Sanskrit gods and go with them.
By that token, I think that Kishimoto might have actually went outside and read a book about the origin of Buddhism in Japan, and through that rudimentary "research" decided to add some elements from it into his work. Now I'm not saying he went ahead and thought about how it all ties into his greater narrative or that the amount of "research" he did was plenty (A series about Ninja's with one named Sarutobi Sasuke clearly in its history and a main lead wearing an orange jumper and named after ramen toppings was clearly not well researched about historical ninja's) but it was enough for him to stumble on the name and decided it would be a good fit for Sasuke's daughter (and potentially Sakura's).
Maybe I am trying to see some sense in madness when I'm trying to argue its "Sarada" instead of "Salad", and Kishimoto really did name her after food because why not. Maybe I am giving Kishimoto far too much credit (most likely). But if the name is really "Salad", I'll just have to swallow my complaints and keep on calling her that.
She isn't the first character who got a ridiculous name in a manga before.
That means it's not really that clever with such a low par lol
I suppose it does work for what it is suppose to do, but I think having 3 kids each named after a certain theme (So one to follow the -to naming, another named after Neji, and another after the Hyuga) would've made it make more sense but eh.
The crossover no one was expecting or even wanted; The Simpsons and VeggieTales, together at last.
They really will air anything on Nickelodeon these days.
I seriously doubt he did. He hasn't made many references to Hindu lore, and the few that are there are both fairly superficial and kinda awkward (ninja using a energy called "chakra"? sure, everybody else uses "ki" so I guess that's "original", but there's a good reason for that! and after "Kaguya" and "Hagoromo", we suddenly switch to Hinduism? and instead of going with "Indra/Asura" or "Taishakuten/Ashura", we end up with some weird mix of the two?), so to think he'd know about the name "Sharada" and its meaning...
Oh, the official spelling might well end up being "Sarada" (even if she's named after the food). I imagine they'll release a guidebook for that Boruto movie, and we'll see then, if not sooner.

Even if untrue, it's hilarious how Sasuke's an even worse dad now than before we knew.
I was in the middle of writing a response when I remembered that Kishimoto had a villian named Pain who was using Hindu terminology for his jutsu, at which point I realised you were right. I really can't argue with that. You are most certainly right here.
Kishimoto only names stuff cause it sounds cool rather than it making perfect sense in his world, rather than focusing on whether it makes sense or not with his other established mythos. In this case, that makes Sasuke's daughter unlikely to be named after a goddess that needs actual research for Kishimoto to know about.
Ugh. This manga.
I will honestly flip a table if she was name after a salad and yet it's spelled "Sarada"
The guidebooks always had really strange romanisations (in particular with "Indra" being "Indora") so I'm sort of dreading what they'll come up with for "Sarada".
There are 2 chapters of Shougeki no Soma in this issue of Weekly Shonen Jump
In one it is a special in which
Erina is serving food to the Jump heroines that are staring in in an anime or will be soonish (which will be One Piece, Nisekoi, HQ, Assanation Classroom, World Trigger and Gintama. It's similar to the special we got last year with Erina going to the pool with Alice over the summer.
In the other,
we only know that it is happening after Stagiaire Week is done. Whether this is the new year and Soma is about to start his 3rd term of his first year, or he just graduated into second year is still unknown. Hence why it isn't so much a time skip in the strictest sense, but similar to what happened when Soma came back to the tournament after his summer break.
Edit:
Kakashi'so face reveal I suppose. Anyone going there?

That Naruto x Hinata panel is damn adorable.
And yeah, that thing about Sarada is trolltastic. Sakura stays taking the L left and right. I bet all the super invested Sasu x Saku shippers who were popping champagne in the streets are currently planning some serial killer-like murder rituals for Kishi after that. XD

That would be cool if he reveals other variations. I'm still feeling iffy with his design though.

So many sides of Kagari seen in this chapter. Always nice to see that Honoka does want to fight but never seems to get the chance to actually to.
The look into the past is pretty nice and looking for the super long weekend.

Actually looks like the story about Tosh drawing Shounen Jump heroines.
Cause that's Ms. Bitch, the girl manager from Haikyuu and someone from World Trigger?
Bitch-sensei from Assassination Classroom, Manager from Haikyuu and some girl from World Trigger I think.
I believe it's:
I think the first one is
teacher from Assassination Classroom
Kiyoko Shimizu from Haikyuu
Chika Amatori from World Trigger.
Is it a side story? There is also pics of some of the foodgasms featuring some of those characters.
This is like the third time the Soma spoilers are brought up lol guess it's better to just drop the spoiler tags and just say it in the open.
Np. I think I know what you are talking about. Yeah it's been down for a while now. Should be up soon though.
It's a special chapter that in addition to the regular chapter for this issue. It will have Erina serving food to the Jump female leads who have are going to be (or are already in) and anime.

We are getting this chapter in similar fashion to the one we had about Erina going to the public pool with Alice a year ago. Except this time it's non-canon.

So there are multiple stone people/pillar men, and Aishou is one.
Ending to the fight was very weird.
