Can Boruto Live Up to Naruto’s Legacy?

Boruto don't want to be compared to his father, but we're doing it anyway.

By Miranda Sanchez

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is only a few episodes into its first season, and even though it hasn’t had much time, it has a lot to live up to. It’s been a slow, character-focused start.

Crunchyroll’s Naruto expert and Brand Manager, Victoria Holden, joins me in discussing what Boruto as a series needs to do to live up to its predecessor. In the video above we discuss things we’d like to see change from Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, and what opportunities Boruto has to expand on the ninja world.
