Two of the top contending manga of the Shonen genre have served one flop ending after another. BothJujutsu KaisenandMy Hero Academiafans are swimming in grief and if you are a fan of both…sigh. Now, all eyes are on Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Ikemoto to serve a proper finale ofBoruto.

Historically,Borutois not a well-liked series. If you are a Naruto fan, there are high chances that you would not like its sequel. However, after the back-to-back bad finale chapters of popular manga, a rare chance forBorutoto shine is here.

The Epic Failures ofJujutsu KaisenandMy Hero AcademiaFinales

Jujutsu KaisenandMy Hero Academiawere the forerunners of the Shonen manga genre while they were ongoing, along withOne Piece. So naturally, fans expected superb endings from both of them. However, the disappointment that followed hurt too much to be forgotten.

My Hero Academiahadan extremely general endingwith no big surprises or emotional payoffs. Class 1A did open a path for Deku to become a hero again, but the eight years during which he was left alone with a broken dream was too much for the character to bear. The introduction of the Super Hero suit also indicates that quirks would no longer be required to be a Hero, which makes the whole setup of the series redundant.

Now, let’s get to the biggest disaster of the century,Jujutsu Kaisen‘s ending. Not only did the author never bring back Gojo after hinting at it for multiple chapters, but the ending also felt extremely rushed. From unexplained and open plot points to characters never acknowledging the death of Gojo, there was one failure after another in chapter 271 ofJujutsu Kaisen.

Boruto‘s Finale Might be its Saving Grace

As you’re able to expect, after experiencing such epic failures, otakus are in need of a proper finale to a series. So, of course, the sequel series ofNarutomight be your best choice. Masashi Kishimoto has already given fans an ending that has gone down in history with Naruto, and nowits sequel needs an epic finaleas well.

While the series’ ongoing plot is not liked by everyone, and it will take a few more years to reach its finale, a good ending might make fans forget about their woes with the franchise because of its mistreatment ofBoruto.

If by the end of the series, Kishimoto and Ikemoto can figure out how to properly incorporate the OG characters without diminishing their worth. An epic finale battle withBoruto and Naruto fighting togetheris bound to break the internet. Similarly, Sharada with her mom and dad, Sakura and Sasuke, would be a huge banger.

TheBorutomanga is available to read on Viz Media, while the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
