In BIG 2026, still waiting for Naruto's "Hero's Comeback" regardless of whether that comes before or after Boruto 🔥💯♾💯🔥

I'd like to believe Naruto is in his "Death of Superman" phase. Hopefully, he gets his "Return of Superman" phase at some point later in Boruto TBV. I'm not saying he'll be the strongest, but he'll get his legendary "Hero's Comeback" by the end.

Hopefully, we'll get more adventures with Naruto after Boruto ends. One way or another. I'm hoping for an actual Naruto Part 3 and/or reboot(not remake).

This is similar to how the DB franchise hit the rewind button after GT that inevitably led to Super. The Naruto franchise has objectively written itself to a dead end, and the only way "forward" will require a rewind or a reset after Boruto.

Will "I know Naruto is popular I was asking in terms of how is compares to Boruto and Two Blue Vortex."

No offense, but I don't know why when it's common knowledge that Boruto as a whole barely has a fraction of NARUTO'S success arcoss all mediums(games, movies, manga, anime, etc...).

"You couldn't answer one part of the question"

Because the question led to nothing but me repeating what SHOULD be common knowledge.

"For all intents and purposes I didn't see Boruto ranking within the top 10 of Shonen. The IP is making money and people aren't likely to just drop it but there's no way it's as popular as the original series"

You're stating the obvious.

"Again GT has no bearing on what Dragon Ball as a franchise is doing currently"

It does have bearing on the context of my argument. DB is a franchise whose situation very similar to NARUTO. That's why I mentioned GT.

"The franchise seems to be going the way of Star Wars and the different type of stories that are branching out from the original"

Branching out by focusing on the same cast of characters plus a few new extras that rarely take center stage 🤨🤨🤨

Will "It very much is relevant when you erroneously said there was a rewind"

GT wasn't some fan creation. It was published and produced by Shueisha amd Shonen Jump. GT being canon or not is irrelevant because for all intents and purposes, GT was the future and endpoint of DB in any and every capacity in terms of content that wasn't a repeat of DBZ through video games for a long time until Battle of God's led to Super. That's why I equated Boruto to GT because in the long run Boruto will have to be pushed to the side one way or another for the NARUTO franchise to have a future.

"It's not debatable and not solely my opinion."

Yes it is because you directly mentioned a decline in quality in regards to Super and Boruto. That is an opinion that can be debated.

"The anime stopped and focused on something altogether different with Daima"

Your point???

DB as a whole is in a rough state due to mismanagement of rights and licensing. Which has been an ongoing battle since AT passed away.

Will I know NARUTO ranks high in profit. Which is one of multiple reasons for why...

1. Boruto ending isn't the end for NARUTO.

2. The franchise is more than likely(all but guaranteed) to shift the focus back to Naruto one way or another after Boruto ends.

NARUTO as a whole is extremely profitable and between Naruto and Boruto, Naruto 'laps" multiple times in terms of success/profit.

Also, Kishimoto has already expressed interest in doing more Naruto back in August 2024.
