Part 3/10:
One of the most controversial topics among fans is how the Boruto series treats the original characters from Naruto. Many long-time followers express dissatisfaction with how certain beloved figures, like Rock Lee and others, have been sidelined or "nerfed." The desire to see these characters regain their former glory is a significant point of contention.
However, this sentiment must be weighed against the series' intent to spotlight a newer generation. The creator's marketing and development strategy has focused on cultivating new heroes to carry the torch forward. This inevitably means some classic characters will take a backseat to allow new stories to flourish. It raises the question of whether the narrative will manage to balance both the old and new effectively.
