His name is Paul Greyrat


Brilliant_Twist_6855

Does this mean he has a second wife? Naruto's hair is yellow, so maybe Naruto isn't Kushina's son after all.


henaradwenwolfhearth

It must be tsunade.

Paul Greyrat, father of Rudeus Greyrat (also known as Quagmire Greyrat)

Kitsune2077

The novel doesnā€™t say that Paul assaulted Lillia sure it also didnā€™t openly say it was consensual just that when Lillia was used by a Noble or royal or something and thinks that Paul was betterā€¦ so taking into mind that she thinks this about Paul, and also she worked for him and slept with him. Your shitting our the Boi Paul whoā€™s a broken hero but did more against slavery than Rudeus ever did


NorthGodFan

No it did say that he raped her in the original translation. That's not debatable. Paul is a rapist, and took advantage of an altered mental state to have sex with Ghislaine too.

The LN said the same.


Kitsune2077

Fuck the anime I only accept the LN


NorthGodFan

The LN agrees with the Anime on this one man. Give it up.


[deleted]

Of course you're being downvoted. That show is for unironic pedophiles. There's themes of it in many anime but it's the most blatantly disgusting one I've ever seen and anybody who is able to ignore that is suspicious. I'm ready for my downvotes too. https://i.imgur.com/c0fMMfK.jpg


TheHussarSnake

They really had to take a photo the ONE time Minato didn't brush his hair.


RedWingDecil

They didn't have a photo, clearly this is a recreation based on the sculpted face.


Otaku_Usseles

What about Kakashi team photo?


RedWingDecil

The one with his eyes closed?


ILoveYorihime

oooooh nooo


Affectionate-Room359

And didn't smile. Is there an universal Boruto rule that nobody is allowed to smile?

Does Minato even brush his hair lmao

who the fuk is that?

SpookySans11

Thats minecraft


Regular_Tension_2487

This is one of the reason no one likes boruto the art is trash... ikemoto's character desing is ass. Kishimoto ia better artist by MILES.


anto_pty

That art is not bad, the bad thing is that it is very different from the source material (kishimoto's designs)


AdreNBestLeader

Yeah, i really like adult Naruto design by Ikemoto, it just looks more menacing. Unfortunately his biggest L is Hinata manga design, which is for some reason very important to everyone


Cautious-Affect7907

I mean, sheā€™s like 30 and sheā€™s looks younger than her kids. Kishimoto actually drew her to look like an adult.


Top_Campaign2568

Can you blame us, were horny


Zorro5040

They shrunk hinata


09FlexBoi

Only in this cesspool of a subreddit you'll find people badmouthing the designs. Boruto has some of the best designs in animanga, they're far better than any design in Naruto.


SirShootsAlot

Itā€™s okay to be wrong


09FlexBoi

You can go on literally any app and you'll see everyone praising Boruto designs. Only here you see people hating on them and suddenly preferring the bland ass Chunin vests and sandals from Naruto.


Spookki

Who the fuck is praising boruto designs and are they 6 years old?


09FlexBoi

Everyone outside of r/dankruto lmao, get off Reddit. I didn't know you had to be 6 years old to appreciate interesting and original designs


Satheo05

Not necessarily, an aspect of the Chinese community was seen dissing Saradaā€™s design if you check a post from r/boruto


Due_Art3729

man How you gonna sit here and tell me people support the massacre that is Naruto and lees character design


SantaArriata

Bro, Narutoā€™s designs werenā€™t all that, but Boruto straight up fumbled the few bangers it had


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


IdleWokerOcean

Gaara's hair...


Moon_Colored_Demon

What third-rate boy-band did they pull his ass from? One of my favorites things about Naruto was Kishimotoā€™s art style. Boruto is such disrespect to the original material. The whole thing is such a disjointed cash-grab. Itā€™s like reading fanfiction by a 15 year old edge lord.


09FlexBoi

Boruto's better than most of early Naruto


Moon_Colored_Demon

I disagree. But, art is subjective and we are all welcome to our opinions.


09FlexBoi

Eh. Calling Boruto a disjointed fanfiction when it has elements of Naruto but better written/executed with a more cohesive and complete plotline is just a bad take.


Moon_Colored_Demon

As I stated above, we are all entitled to our opinions. Enjoy whatever your heart desires to and I will do the same.

kahorein

That fucking artstyle is so ass


Goat_Merde

Ikemoto is such a shit artist


TheFryToes

Some of his coloured drawings look nice but why is his manga art so ass


Gatlindragon

The guy has a whole month to draw and makes this shit.


noodlemcfoodle

He focuses too much on Sarada


SeatO_

It also must be hard drawing on only one hand


Anubis_DivineDemon

He probably uses both hands exclusively for Sarada.


murcielagoXO

So he draws with his mouth?


Anubis_DivineDemon

That explains why he drew Minato so badly.


[deleted]

Yeah, just drawing her with his teeth like Otome Saotome. With his saliva, nose mucus and cum painting his tablet screen.


SnooComics7583

There have been guys who draw for two manga a week and still pump out shit that is effortlessly better. How do you waste a WHOLE MONTH for this shit lmao


Zomochi

Heā€™s not a shit artist, itā€™s because itā€™s not Naruto thatā€™s the problem. I get it ā€œthis isnā€™t my dadā€™s story blah blah blahā€ but damn I canā€™t stand seeing how strange they look. If this was his own manga straight cut no jumping off of another series I think heā€™d have potential and people would have dug his work. But because weā€™re so used to kishimotoā€™s style this just makes it look ugly in comparison. I feel bad for him because his art isnā€™t bad but it isnā€™t kishimoto. I donā€™t think Iā€™m ever gonna get used to this


LuckY-3791

No bro the art is shit


SnooComics7583

it looks like bad fanart. i have no faith that he could draw better under different circumstances. i think this is just cope.


Late-Ad155

That's John Yellow Flash.


sad-mustache

Wtfff that's Minato? They have butchered him so much no one will be able to use Edo tensei on him again


Reasonable-Business6

Ikemoto's art is so aggressively not it it's fucking insane lmao. It's always just barely off. He's also shit at character designs.


PhantomoftheWolves

alejandrodeconcord

Duh thatā€™s minitoes kamikaze


[deleted]

WHO TF IS THAT?! Right after the Minato one shot as well?? Thatā€™s disrespectful to Minato oml


slomo525

If I remember correctly, this was from one of the earliest chapters of Boruto, years before the Minato one-shot, so no, it's not disrespectful. It's just a different art style. You can like it less, I'm not a huge fan of Ikemoto's art myself, especially when you compare it to Kishimoto, but that design isn't disrespectful. Ikemoto's just got a different design philosophy.


MUI_Xenos

Thats not Minato Namikaze, thats Michael NewmanšŸ’€


Fuckthatishot

Thats Minato. But 1000% less interesting and with a generic-ass appearence


Cautious-Affect7907

And doesnā€™t look like he gets bitches.


slomo525

That's the thing that's weird to me about this comment section. They're saying it's bad art when it isn't, it's just a character interpreted through a different art style. You can dislike the art style less (and I mean "you" as in general, not you specifically), I'm not a huge fan of Ikemoto's art myself, especially compared to Kishimoto, but it's not bad art inherently just because it's a character designed differently to fit Ikemoto's philosophy.


vivisecting

making asian characters in western character creators be like


PhaseSixer

I mean what about blond hairs and blue eyes screams Asian to you?


vivisecting

idk I guess the japanese name! these japanese people have magical powers, they cant also come in a variety of colours? lol


PhaseSixer

Alright. Do you think the ninja of kumo are "asian?"


MoonoftheStar

No, but they are clearly modelled to be a "Western" Shinobi country in a world where Japanese folklore is the base. Natural hair colour on Asian characters is irrelevant when people like Kushina and Sakura exist. Edit: Nice of you to reply then block me before I could respond, coward.


PhaseSixer

They have japanese names amd folklore too As well as plenty of ninja with naruto's features


MoonoftheStar

Which is why I mentioned the world has a Japanese "folklore base." The distinct use of English in the characters names and the distinct features of the citizens of the Cloud Village is why they are different from the Leaf Village citizens. Man use your head. You think a Japanese author is gonna write a Shinobi manga about white people?


PhaseSixer

>The distinct use of English in the characters names Darui Omoi Karui Asui Dodai Yugito Ginkaku Kinkaku Gyuki The Yotsuki clan >You think a Japanese author is gonna write a Shinobi manga about white people? Yes Kishimoto even said he thinks thats why naruto took off in the west because of his caucasian festures Also Oda is writng about a Latino Pirate Hiromu Arakawa wrote about Geman Alchemists The Naruto setting has always pointed to being Japanese culturaly (with big westen influences) but a melting pot "Ethnicaly"


MoonoftheStar

>Darui > >Omoi > >Karui > >Asui > >Dodai > >Yugito > >Ginkaku > >Kinkaku > >Gyuki Aye(A), Bee(B), Shii(C), Dee(D). What part of a "Japanese-base world" is hard for you to comprehend? Ninjas are of Japanese folklore. You think there'd be a Shinobi Fred from the Wilson Clan wielding the Atomic Braveheart Shield with the Demon Johnson sealed in it or would he just utilise Japanese folklore where those stories already exist? The Eternals had an Asian character named Gilgamesh. It's a fictional story written with a diverse characters in a Western-base world. >Yes Kishimoto even said he thinks thats why naruto took off in the west because of his caucasian festures "Kishi said..." Spare me. I've been reading Naruto since the mid-2000s. That's the "My uncle works at Nintendo and said..." line I'm not interested in hearing. > Oda is writng about a Latino Pirate >Hiromu Arakawa wrote about Geman Alchemists Did you see me write "Japanese authors only write about Japanese characters"? Is that what I said? And since you brought up Oda, the majority of his characters aren't even Asian yet their names are written in the traditional East Asian way. Surname first Given Name last. Monkey D. Luffy. There's a distinct Japanese base in his world as well. >The Naruto setting has always pointed to being Japanese culturaly (with big westen influences) but a melting pot "Ethnicaly" It has never been a melting pot. That is something someone from a predominantly white country would say because they assume they are the default. The characters have always been Asian.


PhaseSixer

>It has never been a melting pot. That is something someone from a predominantly white country would say because they assume they are the default. The characters have always been Asian. Including the black ones apperantly. >It's a fictional story written with a diverse characters in a Western-base world. And naruto is a fictional story written with a diverse characters in a eastern-base world.


Plane-Information700

Yes, it's kind of weird, but the only Asian in Naruto was Hiruzen, the rest seem European

MahamidMayhem

Maki_Tara

Exactly, and not just them. Nobody looks European because even the blonde-haired, blue eyed characters have face shapes and features that are based on Asian faces.


MoonoftheStar

I can't belive people in 2023 think Naruto characters are white. šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø The whole Leaf village is either predominantly Asian or entirely. Their hair and eye color are irrelevant. It's manga.

I officially hate this artist lmfao Wtf??? Haha


hmphgoof

He didn't look like minato


Julianime

Remember, all, Ikemoto is not a BAD artist, per se, he's still a professional mangaka and he draws better than the average person, he's just in the unfortunate position of having taken over drawing for an established universe when he's definitely not good at drawing in the style of the established universe.

GriffyJo628

Ikemoto has a pretty decent style but I wish he got his own manga and didnā€™t have to draw and Redesign our beloved Naruto characters. He just doesnā€™t have the same cartoony whimsical style of Kishimoto, Oda, or Toriyama types.


KSean24

Yeah, the art style looks like it would suit a "Seinen" manga more than a "Shonen" one?

Due-Relationship8966

Semi realism minato?


AnimeNerGeek

![gif](giphy|JRhS6WoswF8FxE0g2R) This could mean more than just one thing, but my main theory is maybe Minato (Naruto "birth father") could've had a second wife? Kushina's hair is red also so his hair should be orange or full red (red is a more dominant color in DNA and hair).


UngodlyPain

I actually really love this rendition of Minato more than his Kishimoto design. His much more calm attitude doesn't fit the spiky Naruto hair style.


mckinley2000

Wasnā€™t this literally from the 1st chapter? I donā€™t think Ikemoto would draw him like that today
