Weird Death Note Face of the Month

I would really love to see some Naruto / Sakura interactions in Boruto.

- Something simple like her dropping by the office, sighing at the dark bags under his eyes as her stupid blond friend slaved over paperwork and only looked up when she dangled the bento box in his face, partly filled with her improved medicine formula.

- Or Naruto seeing her walking down the street with groceries and running to her to help, but being reminded how his pink haired former teammate didn’t need any help concerning her monstrous strength.

- Scenes where, whenever Sasuke leaves the village again and leaves a message for Sakura, we see Naruto stopping by the Uchiha house, with Sakura in the kitchen. Trying to start small talk like asking how Sarada was doing with training/school, but Sakura having long since seen through him and asking for Naruto to be direct. It’s sad, but they’re there for each-other, just like they did when they used to be a two man team.

- When an enemy attacks Konoha/ their kids, Naruto and Sakura fight together to beat him. Sarada is amazed how strong/good her bond is with the 7th Hokage, Boruto is excited because since when was Auntie Sakura so STRONG?

Cue Sakura reprimanding Naruto for going overboard with his Rasengan. Naruto pointing to the decimated huge ass rocks that used to be a part of a flat dirt path of Konoha.

“Touka, how do ghouls get married?”     “We leave a symbol. On our partner’s body. We bite each other as hard as we can so the scar doesn’t go away, even if we die.”

WAILING ON THE FLOOR.

Yeah, to be honest it really bugs me that rumours Ishida got axed from the magazine or that editors forced his hand are being spread around. From his message it seems like he really did need to finish for his own personal reasons. Even friends of his have tweeted him mentioning “You were so tired” in their thankyou messages so I wish people would give the rumour mill a rest and just let it be. As silly as it sounds, I’ve had the overall vibe that Ishida has been ready to finish the series for a long time now ever since he skipped doing a New Years Illustration 2 years ago. It seems like such a minor thing but it felt like a tradition was being broken and I got that gut feeling that he was tired even back then.

Even though the story was obviously cut short, I personally think that the overall main story line was what Ishida had planned all along- there are too many elements with Dragon, etc. that were foreshadowed 100′s of chapters ago for this to be a random last minute decision in my opinion.

I also think Kaneki having a happy ending was intended all along. Even though I was always hoping for a happy conclusion from the start, back during Cochlea Arc I thought a bittersweet ending was in store. The way Haise and then Kaneki’s state slowly spiraled downwards had me worried we were in for tragedy. But after Arima’s death, :re has been building up for a bittersweet but overall uplifting story for Kaneki. It kind of makes me scratch my head when people say its the “asspull married with kids happy ending” when Touka and Kaneki have been married and pregnant for a year in real time already. We’ve already had Kaneki say he’s found happiness in his life 20 chapters ago so this ending is seeing that play out. 

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Ishida had that final page in mind from the beginning since these 3 “blue sky” pages all take place on the same hill

Tokyo Ghoul started with Kaneki wishing to find love. :re started with Haise alone on the hill. The series as a whole ended with Kaneki and his family on that same hill.
