Blue Exorcist: So, I guess we have both a new speed and destruction feat for Rin (and I vastly underestimated the size of the Illuminati's ship since it easily eclipses mountains) and he's back to his classic look. And damn, I guess this fight really was inevitable, though it's essentially them just venting at each other for being oblivious idiots.
Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
I do like that Rin has found the inner strength to just shut up Satan for now, that was a cool sequence. And his reaction to finding out that Yukio has attempted to kill himself was also nice.
And yeah, this fight was bound to happen. No matter their approach or reasoning, Rin and Yukio were never able to just talk things out and built up a lot of pent up anger, sadness and concern for each other. Right now this is all they can do to get through to each other.
So full disclosure, I've not read Boruto and I don't ever plan to, but help me out here.
Are these kids just completely in the dark about what Orochimaru used to do before he got his Hokage-level pardon?
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Hmm, makes sense this would be filler. I mean, Rock Lee's son is in this group lol
On the other hand, it would probably cost a lot of resources to actually, totally, finally kill Orochimaru with the number of contingencies he has anyway, but again I checked out before Boruto so I could very well be wrong.
Ninjas are aliens, DNA working like flash memory, and the introduction of straight up firearms I'm okay with enjoying - somewhat - completely out of context.
Been noticing that after some years, a villain character I made ultimately turns into a really flawed individual that can become a decent person and kinda did after a fall from grace.
A lot of years can apparently do that in my writing plans.
Going to sleep, if I wake up to some bullshit, I'm going to be very annoyed.
Take care of yourselves lads. Be safe.
