Why I Believe BoruSara Won't Happen

No hate, this is just my opinion

In most anime fandom, it’s a thing for people to guess or predict who the mc will end up with, and Boruto is no exception.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generation, now taking on the title of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, was introduced in chapter 700 of the Naruto manga. After its introduction in the manga and the Boruto the Movie, people speculated that Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha would make a cute couple (as an ex-BoruSara shipper, I can confirm), but as the anime was undergoing, people noticed Sarada’s real personality and better people on who Boruto could end up with. There were options like the late Sumire Kakei, Eida, or even Ouga.

But that’s not about them. Now, it’s about why I believe BoruSara won’t happen.

Now, I used to be a BoruSara shipper (mostly ’cause of after the movie). I thought they’d be cute together, but after the anime began, I started to notice how stuck-up and bratty she was, resembling Sakura’s worst traits, uselessness and crybaby at the top. I saw how she belittled Boruto for not being able to keep up with her. 

Then I began thinking, “Would they really make a good couple?” 

Basically, the only reason this couple is the most popular is because of their parents, who were the main characters of Naruto, the generation before them. They had a sibling-like bond and a romantic relationship (SasuNaru, NaruSaku, SasuSaku). Now, while Naruto was still underway, most people believed that Naruto and Sakura would be end game, but Masashi Kishimoto, the writer of the Naruto manga and anime, shocked us all by having Naruto end up with the secondary girl, Hinata Hyuga. 

So, needless to say, Kishi isn’t one to put the obvious ships to happen.

However, most of the fandom disliked Sakura, so they didn’t want Naruto to end up with her, but the only people who did were NaruSaku and Sakura stans, who were loud just like Sakura, and they basically took over the fandom. But once their ship sank, they moved onto the next best thing, BoruSara. 

I’m just rambling at this point, so I’ll begin so I don’t take up most of your time. 

In Boruto the Movie, Sarada and Boruto were seen blushing over little things and wanting to protect each other, even wanting to follow paths like the others’ fathers. Boruto made a vow to protect her when she became Hokage, which Sarada began to blush furiously, making fans speculate that this couple was end game.

But are they really?

1. They have similar personalities:

The Naruto couples usually are yin and yang. Yin means quiet, emotionless, or shy, whereas yang means loud, obnoxious, and easily angered. Now, you could tell that at the very beginning, Boruto was easily ruled as yang, just like his father. He loved to pull pranks and try to get his dad’s attention in the worst of ways. He was always loud, but a loyal friend. Now Sarada, she was not as fast, but was also ruled as yang eventually. She was not as loud as Boruto, but still loud. She’d get riled up whenever Boruto was near, and was mostly always shouting. 

For example, Naruto was yang, Hinata was yin. Sai was yin, Ino was yang. Sasuke was yin, Sakura was yang. 

You see where I’m going with this?

They are many scenes of them fighting.

You don’t see any other canon Naruto/Boruto fighting like this, now, do you? But most people are probably going to say it’s unique and that’s why it’s going to happen. Most people say that BoruSumi is the next NaruHina, but there’s no new NaruHina, no new Naruto and no new Hinata.

2. Blushes:

Sarada has seen to blush multipule times at Boruto, and vice versa. This could be a key point as to BoruSara being end game, or it could be ship bait for another one.

Now, these show that BoruSara just might happen. But then again, NaruSaku reached this level of extreme and look what happened. But I won’t write off these blushes, but Boruto only blushed around her because she got to close, which is normal. Now, Sarada only blushed around him because he vowed to protect her, so it was probably out of embarrassment or gratefulness, doesn’t mean she fell in love with him (btw, am I the only one that thinks she looks ugly when she blushes?). Boruto has been seen blushing around Mitsuki a few times, but that’s because Mitsuki claimed him as his sun and got close.

3. Touch:

Sarada has gotten intimate when touching Boruto (not too much though). And has just touched him when he didn’t want it.

Now, in the second pic (I couldn’t find the English ver.), Boruto did say, “Watch the hands!”, implying that he didn’t like being touched by her. In the second pic, he has shown to make a disgusted face when she placed only a few fingers on his shoulder, not even a full hand.

4. Denied feelings:

Now, Sarada has not shown any romantic feelings towards Boruto, and vice versa. In fact, Sumire Kakei confessed her feelings towards Boruto and Sarada didn’t seem to mind much. 

Sarada even confessed that it doesn’t bother her if other girls like Boruto. Mitsuki has also asked Sarada the same question, assuming she did.

Here, she seemed annoyed at Mitsuki for asking (assuming). Now, Eida, too, asked Sarada the same question the other two did.

Here, Eida assumed that Sarada liked Boruto because they were on the same team and were close. She wanted to know if Sarada could be a potential threat to her and Kawaki’s relationship. Sarada seemed annoyed, but she was also blushing. Now, this blush did not mean her feelings were revealed. It could’ve meant that she had to practice to pretend to be Eida’s captive, because we see Sumire blush, too.

Sumire did blush when asking about why Eida liked Kawaki, but that’s not because she liked Kawaki. She was embarrassed and shy at that moment, knowing she was immune. Sarada could’ve been the same why because we see both girls blushing during the whole conversation.

5. Same team:

People may think this is a winning factor to BoruSara, but in reality, it’s not. Boruto and Sarada are on the same team, only because it’s natural for an Uchiha and Uzumaki to be on the same team. People believe that it’s canon because it somehow resembles SasuSaku (Boruto being Sasuke, Sarada being Sakura). But Kishi hates same team ships. SasuSaku was the only one to become canon, and look how that turned out; a man who left to go get milk and never came back, a obsessive stalker, and a crybaby child. From what Kishi has stated in interviews, SasuSaku is almost close to getting a divorce, and that Sarada is the only thing keeping the ship still going.

If BoruSara became canon and they have a child, the child would be miserable. If Sarada becomes Hokage and Boruto becomes Shadow Hokage, they won’t be around much and the kid would practically raise itself and Kishi cares too much for Boruto to do that to him.

6. Boruto’s eye and Sarada’s MS:

People believe this is also a winning factor to the BoruSara ship, but it’s not. In fact, it’s another con.

Boruto lost his eye to protect Sarada, who was too dumb to activate her Sharingan when Kawaki was walking towards them. Her knees were about to give way and you could tell she was scared, yet she never activated her Sharingan, meaning Boruto had to lose an eye because of her.

7. “He’s like a brother to me”:

A major red flag of BoruSara would be that Sarada confessed that Boruto was like a brother to her.

This means that the ship is basically incest at this point. And to top it off, Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, two brothers, so their clans are close, meaning they are distant relatives.

Now, I’m not saying that BoruSara isn’t going to happen. Who knows, maybe Kishi will break everything that’s happened and make them canon, but it’s highly unlikely, especially after Sarada claiming his like a brother. 

But to each their own. We all have our own opinions on ships and our own ships that we like. We can’t force each other to like one ship and hate the other, it’s our own choice. Whether or not you want to ship BoruSara, that’s fine. But these are straight evidence that they’re more like siblings (including the hair styles in Two Blue Vortex).

After all, they’re not the new NaruSaku, SasuSaku, or NaruHina. They’re the new SasuNaru. But if they do become canon, some SasuNaru fans are probably going to say that if Sasuke or Naruto was a girl, then they would’ve been canon. 

But anyway, it’s okay if you like this ship or if you don’t, it doesn’t matter. We all have our own choices.

There's Auruto & Hanasita gens (bsu's fan family) and Saruto & Sanada (bsa's fan family)

And in it, Auruto & Hanasita gen have all the good ships, except ksa.

But in Saruto & Sanada, it has a copy of all ships and it has the cringy bsa and ksu.

And in it, some Saruto & Sanada fan created Hanasita and her twin brother Soruto in a pic next to Saruto & Sanada and Hanasita had short hair yet Sanada had long hair????

Sanada basically looks like Sakura before she cut her hair with Boruto features.

Oh, and in some of their fanarts, Sarada had the Hokage's hat and big chest. They're so insecure about her body.

And in another one, Boruto and Sarada were staring lovingly into each other's eyes and he had his arm around her and pulling her into a kiss as the kids made funny faces in the background.

yeah, I heard of them but never bothered to search them up.

of course it’ll have all the bad ships because it is a bad gen. I can’t take the names seriously.

if anything, whoever Salad ends up with, if she has a daughter, her hair will be short since Sakura passed on her short hair to Salad.

Sakura had a short chest, what makes them thing that Salad will have a big chest? main girls always have a small chest.

Bolt will never show so much emotion to Salad, heck, if he’ll be oh so in love, it’s basically like him showing so much love towards Namida. so by their logic, BoruNami shows love towards each other.

Bro Istg do these so called fans actually read their own danm manga? because the takes Im seein are so mind bogglingly ignorant it looks like an outsider said it because wtf are these takes

BRUH THERE WAS A WHOLE ASS CHAPTER OF HIM EXPLAINING THE REASON!

Like Bruh did they just skip these chapters!? even in TBV!?

No seriously for them to be so called 'fans' they sure as hell dont follow their own 'goated' series story.

Terrible take #2 I've seen

WHERE TF ARE THEY READING THESE THINGS? WHAT MANGA?

Boruto doesnt acknowledge either one of them, the only person he acknowledges is Himawari and asks Konohamaru to protect her 😭 read the chapter Im not making this up or leaving anything out!

(Note: I find it funny how they say he looked Sarada in the eyes when at no point does he ever turn to look at her, she yelled out Boruto and he didnt glance her way and just told Konohamaru to look after Hima, but when Sumire yells out Boruto he actually DOES turn around to look at her and listen to what she says, then when Sarada and Konohamaru are both speaking hes looking straight ahead again not looking at either of them 😭)

Boruto literally doesnt say anything to either of them, he only asks Konohamaru to protect Himawari, then he responds to Konohamaru and then orders Nishi to tell him whenever he senses any movement of chakra, it is SARADA AND SUMIRE that has to speak to him before he acknowledges them

Go ahead, read the chapter Im not makin this up

He never asks either one of them if their ok, so where tf are these ppl getting that he didnt care about Sumire being knocked out and ignored her? again, go read the chapter yourself, he ONLY acknowledges Himawari being hurt and asks Konohamaru to protect her

Whats even funnier is that he STILL only acknowledges Himawari, he didnt react to Sarada or Sumire being hurt, he saved/protected them, but he didnt treat Sarada any better than he did Sumire, he understandably prioritized his little sister and her safety.

Am I saying he doesnt care about Sumire? no Im not, what I am saying is that this argument that he 'ignored' and 'didnt care' about Sumire being hurt here is stupid af because you could literally say the same thing for Sarada

Show me a panel of Boruto asking Sarada if shes ok, show me the panel of him helping her up or checking how she is, show me where Boruto is asking the others to protect Sarada

You cant, because there isnt a single one to show.

'Oh well it doesnt matter cuz hes shown he cares about her at other times'

HE'S DONE THE SAME FOR SUMIRE

BEFORE DINNER: HOW DID SIMON GET SO FUCKED UP?

Great art takes risks, and 2020’s cult hit Dinner In America took a huge one by making its male lead incredibly off-putting. Kyle Gallner’s Simon has off-the-charts anger issues, commits arson, sells drugs at an arcade, lies easily, curses loudly in public, has little to no respect for other people (“my dad’s allergic” “fuck your dad”), makes creepy sexual remarks and then acts like it was a joke, goes through cigarettes like he needs them to live—but by the end, you root for him. He defends Patty when no one else will, stands by his convictions, and is without a doubt an incredible musician.

He's a punk with just one patch on his jacket: an Eagle Scout badge over his heart. It’s the highest honor that a Boy Scout can earn, requiring demonstration of leadership, good citizenship, 21 merit badges, and the final piece: an extensive individual service project benefiting the scout’s local community.

Eagle Scouts are overrepresented in politics, clergy, the military, and NASA’s career astronauts. Even if it's technically secular, the Boy Scouts of America is an intensely Christian organization—very often troops are organized by churches, not schools.

Scout Law dictates that scouts be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent (to God). All things that, you know, totally sound like Simon, the guy with a grown-out mohawk and an upside-down American flag hanging in his bedroom. He’s so clearly against conformity that it’s hard to imagine him ever being interested in wearing a uniform and building rope bridges. PSYOPS lyrics are blatantly anti-Christian, too (“fanatical religious right, pray with you because you’re white” based on the subtitles on Hulu).

The hypothesis I am proposing is that Simon earned the rank of Eagle Scout because doing so would allow him to receive his parents’ permission to do something else he really wanted to do—start a band. Maybe for his Eagle Project, he turned a storage closet into a recording studio for the high school music department. Simon goes big. Fuck building benches.

I was in Brownies through my elementary school for three years in the late 90s. We went camping, sold Trefoils, milked goats, and made gak. Our troop leader was the mom of one of the other girls, and when needed, additional chaperones were always more moms. I had a great time. Across the United States, most Boy Scouts are similarly unharmed as they get out of the house and learn basic survival skills.

Youth organizations have a problem, though—they attract people who want access to kids. I watched a documentary on Netflix last year, Scout’s Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America, illustrating how for decades the BSA protected child molesters on a level that rivals even the Catholic Church. Simple background checks for scoutmasters were considered inconvenient and too expensive for an organization largely run by volunteers, and the BSA refused to risk their Norman Rockwell reputation by acknowledging the issue. Men who were red-flagged as abusers could easily pop up again with another troop, since no database of “ineligible volunteers” was available to the public, and the BSA did not report crimes to the police. Deep shame and rampant homophobia meant survivors very often did not reveal the abuse they suffered until well into adulthood.

I have been thinking about this a lot with regard to Simon—maybe you saw my other, much more informal text post—but I am not qualified to (and really, really don’t want to) write fic exploring what the fuck could have happened to make him the way he is. Instead, I’m writing this essay about it. Proceed if you like to be sad!

[content warnings, obviously: discussion of CSA by an authority figure, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse]

HYPOTHESIS: Becoming an Eagle Scout was the only way that Simon’s parents would let him pursue music.

Abuse in adolescence can affect how people learn to control their emotions later in life. Anger problems are especially prevalent with PTSD when the victim has been betrayed by others or exploited.

In the film, Simon has a pretty acrimonious relationship with everyone in his family apart from Danny. I don’t really buy that he was abused at home, though. It’s more likely that his family loves him but he’s out of control, and he is. Simon’s basement bedroom is full of instruments—it’s even more “fuckin’ tits” than Kevin’s bunk bed and guinea pigs. He used to be someone they trusted with a key.

So let’s assume that Simon was being molested by his scoutmaster as a teenager. If quitting the BSA meant he wouldn’t get to start a band, he’d be completely trapped.

Telling his parents would result in one of two options: they’d either assume he was making it up to get out of doing the work (do nothing but start a fight), or believe him and pull him out entirely, get the police involved, risk everyone at school finding out. And telling wouldn’t guarantee that he’d get to focus on music—surely Simon’s parents would rather he go off to college and get a degree in something reliable, as his siblings did. Becoming an Eagle Scout was the compromise because his parents figured it was an impossible task.

There’s no question that if that scoutmaster knew about the deal with his parents, it would have been used against him. If you don’t let me do this, you won’t get that merit badge you need, and if you don’t get that merit badge you need, you can kiss your dreams goodbye...

In the beginning, back in Cub Scouts, Simon could very well have bought what the organization was selling. Maybe he wasn’t jaded yet, wasn’t disillusioned, wasn’t quite old enough to think for himself. But if the man teaching Simon to respect the flag, do what he’s told, help others, set a good example, believe in God, and be a responsible, contributing member of society was also the one pulling his pants down, convincing him he had no power or worth, Simon might well have ended up doing a complete 180 against those ideals.

Maybe that piece of shit eyed him all the time, made him feel unsafe even from the other side of a room, and now he blows up at people staring at him in restaurants.

This experience could also, perhaps, motivate Simon to use his newfound power as an adult to protect other vulnerable people from bullying, like Patty.

The church angle works too. Simon knew immediately how to manipulate Patty’s dad. He fabricated the story about Tanzania and the prayer like it was nothing, and it would have been easy for him to do if he was steeped in that environment for years.

And then, of course, there’s the drugs—classic self-medication. A way to stop constantly thinking about stuff he doesn’t want to think about. Research has shown that traumatic experiences in childhood often lead to substance use disorders. Even if Simon’s not doing dope while he’s hanging out with Patty, he certainly has been addicted in the past. His parents have likely paid for him to go to rehab, maybe more than once. Substance abuse does make people lie to and steal from their families. Simon’s sister is an asshole at dinner, but her suspicion is probably not unfounded.

That wouldn’t have been where the lying started, though. He’d have been holding back the secret of his abuse since it began, giving poor excuses for injuries, and lashing out. Traumatic experiences, especially at a young age, can rewire your brain and change your personality. Addictive drugs can, too. He’s not the same person anymore.

Simon needed help, and he never got it.

More than 82,000 former boy scouts have come forward about sexual abuse that they experienced as children in the BSA. Criminal background checks only became mandatory for all scoutmasters and volunteers in 2008.

Maybe for Simon, wearing the badge is his way of saying, “You didn’t beat me. I deserve to be here. I earned the right to start a band.”

For the BSA:

How's relations with the British and Canadian equivalents of you two going? I forge their names, but I remember some northern border scuffles going on between you guys and the Canadian org a few years back.

The BSA maintains a working relationship with both the Royal Canadian Extranormal Joint Committee-

In spite of them being a bunch of bleeding-heart hippies.

-And Her Majesty's Abnormal Protection Agency.

I actually met Queen Diana a few years ago at the summit about the proposed European Asylum Program for 'abs. I don't get the hype.

...any rumors of "border scuffles" you may hear are most probably actions against anti-state actors in the Pacific Northwest. The RCEJC, despite recent diplomatic disagreements, is with us on this.

Ka pernah putus obat ga ???

Haiii ...

Aku jadi mau cerita perjalanan obatnya sekalian, karena emang ngga cuma itu² aja. Tapi kalau putus obat, kayaknya 2x sih. Pertama karena udah males ke rs di rumah karena antriannya banyak dan cuma extend obat aja (ini taun 2021) dan yg ke-2 kayaknya bulan oktober gitu. Kebetulan obatku abis, dokternya cuti panjang. 2 hari ga minum obat, ngga bisa tidur sama sekali dan nangis² "kesakitan." Hehehe. Akhirnya nebus obat lewat halodoc dan bisa tidur yg pas oktober itu.

Obatku tuh kan mulainya dari Juli 2020 kan, itu obat racik dan SD. Terus karena resign dan pulang, aku cuma bekal sisa obat dari tangerang itu dan yg ke rs pas di rumah. Itu kayaknya sampe januari pertengahan atau februari gitu. Terus aku kosong ga minum obat diawal 2021 itu. Cuma emang ketolong sama tugas diawal kuliah s2. Jadi kayaknya berusaha waras dan berfungsi karena tugas s2 itu. Tapi karena kelamaan ga minum obat, ternyata berefek juga.

Kan maret 2021 aku pindah ke solo karena udah mulai mau semprop dan ngelab. Nah pas maret - april - mei 2021 kesibukannya agak berkurang kan, cuma mau uas sama nulis proposal, jadi udah mulai berasa tuh. Mulai ga berfungsi, malas, ngga mau bangun dll. Hampir ga bsa selesai uas smt.2 karena yaa itu semua, akhirnya ke psikolog karena males minum obat. Terus karena merasa kayaknya perlu minum obat lagi, aku ke dokter lagi bulan mei / juni 2021 itu. Yaudah, itu minum terus rajin kontrol, banyak trial eror obat, sampe beberapa bulan terakhir sebelum lulus s2 akhirnya "menemukan" obat yg emang "cocok" gitu. Si Q.

Karena lulus, pulang ke rumah lagi kan. Karena ya itu males ke rs yg di rumah, aku cuma berbekal sisa² obat trial eror selama di solo yg emang masih disimpan. Sampe akhirnya Januari 2024 aku mulai kena "gangguan makan" jadi makan yg ga pernah kenyang. Terus ke puskesmas, dan pernah bilang klo aku juga dulunya minum obat psikiater. Terus dikasih antidepresan. Gangguan makannya teratasi, depresinya lumayan juga tapi yaaa namamya juga di rumaaah hehehe. Efek samping anti depresan dari puskesmas jadinya malah haidnya yg bermasalah "jumlahnya."

Teros mei apa juni gitu 2024 karena udah di bandung, jadi udah minum obat lagi. Dapet si Q ini sama temennya. Terus yaa itu deh sempet abis obat yg oktober 2024. Gituuuu.

Ini info kebanyakan sih, cuma biar kamuuuuuu jangan berhenti minum obat dadakan yaaaaaaa. Rajin² kontrol, minum obat, konseling dan ngapain aja pokoknyaaa yg tidak menyakitimu dan orang lain. Baik-baik yaaa 🫶

Reddit is becoming anti hinata place. As skr frauds are disguising themselves as hinata account to boost sss.

Almost every Tumblr nh accounts here are sakura fan, so its baseless to interact to them. Even ff writers are sss stan. Totally disgusting. It's kinda new to see reddit becoming full of hinata accounts controlled by sakura's fraud stan.

It's kinda sad to see that naruhina accounts are running by assholes pro sakura, pro sarada and sss stan. Half of them even ships bsa. Can't even follow any nh accounts here as all of them are frauds in disguise.🤷‍♀️

The only nh accounts I follow here in tumblr is who defend and are pro hinata, pro uzumaki family and pro uchiha family and anti sakura, sss, ss, ns and bsa.

Really almost every nh accounts in tumblr are full of sakura frauds.

Its always been anti Hinata cause the moderators are Sakura stans.

Again I think you are generalising too much many Hinata fans are not Sakura fans as she is one of the most hated characters. Why those that do ship SS tend to only do so cause it is a canon ship and care little for it. I do agree some that say they are Hinata fans, but are way to bias towards Sakura and SasuSaku, but they are not the majority.

[rantahead]

If you don't mind me asking, could you do a rant on MitsuSumi & KawaSumi/KawaHima.

Like why people ship them (if you know) and all that because, personally, I find all three disgusting, especially KawaHima.

gladly!

(I know this'll be more of bsu and anti-bsa, but it's an important essential of the story)

ok, so I, personally, ship msu and ksu because I find them fun and more of crack ships then actual canon ships. I see why ppl like them, but they are more of crack ships. the only one that's actually sailing is ksu, but that's basically dead since timeskip.

but before I get into those ships, let's begin with the incest KawaHima.

kh is basically bsa, an incest ship. except the only difference is kh doesn't have same blood (bsa is incest because of their dads are reincarnations of Ashura and Indra and their clans are close, almost to the point of bsa being literally cousins). but kh are ADOPTIVE siblings, either way, they're related, not by blood tho.

I don't understand why ppl like it considering they're literally siblings. it's basically like shipping Boruto and Himawari. and not to mention their age difference.

ok, so now msu & ksu! first we'll start with msu because that won't take as long as the ksu rant:

so the first actual reason ppl started shipping them (actual fans) is the anime when Nue arc took place. that's what got me hooked on them.

but bsa fans only ship them to get Sumire and Mitsuki away from Boruto and Sarada because Mitsuki has only shown to be romantic around Sarada and Boruto (he might be gay for Boruto, but if he's straight, he's only ever shown interest in Sarada). and Sumire, well, need I say more? she is the ONLY character to have confirmed feelings for another character, hence why they want them both out of the way, because, other than Kawaki, they're the biggest threats to their ship. and they say Mitsuki is the captain of their ship, yet they're suddenly gonna want to throw him away the second he has any romantic relationship with either. and he actually never called them a "good couple" in the manga a.k.a canon and only in the Academy in the anime. after graduating and being on the same team, NOT ONCE has he said they make a good couple because he KNOWS they don't. hell, he asked Sarada ONCE about her feelings in anime and in manga, but he just wanted to know, not that he thinks they will make a good couple, but he was curious, not shipping them.

and with Kawaki, they ship Sumire with him just so they'll both be out of the way of their ship. yet Eida has feelings for Kawaki so she'll most likely get him and Sumire has feelings for Boruto so she'll most likely get him. Sarada's only option is Mitsuki, but yes, Kawaki is a victim of the disgusting bsa fandom because neither parties (Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki, Kawaki) have confirmed their feelings for each other.

and they know how cringy their supposed ship is, which is why they try and say Sumire's love is just a crush and Sarada has confirmed her feelings over blushing and she's a tsundere. they even say Sumire only lied to Sarada so she could recognize her feelings, yet that backfired because after that, the only romantic scene they got was Sarada hugging Boruto in timeskip, like, 66 chapters after Sumire supposedly "manipulated Sarada in realizing her feelings for Boruto".

ok, so I gave a basic rundown, but I'll get into detail about it, starting with Sumire's confession:

ok, so here, antis claim that Sumire only manipulated Sarada into realizing her feelings for Boruto (which didn't happen considering the only romantic thing they have in the ENTIRE manga is the hug at the end of TBV chapter 5, the rest of their moments in the manga were cons to the ship). Sumire was GENUINE about HER feelings, not helping Sarada realize hers.

(btw, for bsa to actually happen, Sarada's personality has to take a big 180 for the ship to actually be considered romantic)

because this comes back up AGAIN:

this is when they KNOW she has DEFINITE feelings for him - REAL feelings. not an act, not a manipulation tactic, REAL FEELINGS, TRUE LOVE.

even Katasuke says "though it's so very obivious". meaning her feelings are true and real.

and say she DID manipulate Sarada to realize her feelings (hell will have to freeze over before it's confirmed that she did), her look wasn't jealous, but more of shock because it came out of nowhere, and she looked concern as Team 7 left and she was looking back at Sumire, probably like "oh no, this idiot is gonna get her heartbroken!". she was worried FOR Sumire, not worried ABOUT Sumire. she didn't think of Sumire as a rival, she thought of her as a close friend (she was her first friend and only friend until Chocho showed up) and she was worried that Boruto (being the dense kid he is) will hurt her.

say, just say, that she lied to Sumire about not having feelings for Boruto (as some antis claim), she'll be an even worse friend than Sakura was to Ino when their friendship ended. at least only one was serious about Sasuke (Sakura), Ino only went after him just to piss Sakura off. whereas Sumire's feelings are real and if Sarada has real feelings, all her moments after chapter 19 will be to piss of Sumire, because remember, she NEVER mentioned Sumire's name when she told Sasuke about Omnipotence, and she hugged Boruto IN FRONT of Sumire. that'll just make her look WORSE than she already does.

but Sarada couldn't care less about romantic feelings, let alone for Boruto. as she confirmed with Eida and Mitsuki.

so they need Sumire to be like Ino and move on with a guy like Sai (Mitsuki), hell, even Kawaki!

the only problem is:

"(koi) = Love between lovers(romantic)"

THAT is the kanji written on Sumire's databook and the cover she first appears in. they're both about SUMIRE, not Sarada as ppl claim. because why would it show up in the same cover Sumire does, huh? suspicious. but her databook cover comfirms her feelings are real.

but now they know that her feelings won't go away so they need Mitsuki and Kawaki to come and take her away so any of them won't be in the way.

msu has had NO interactions in the manga, had the Academy & Nue arcs and the one seen in the Kawaki arc where Mitsuki catches her when she falls over after Kawaki kicks her (all in the anime), well, if you exclude all the random classmate talking during other arcs. but overall, those have the romantic scenes and even then, the only romantic scene is that one seen in the Kawaki arc that isn't even that romantic.

ksu however, in the manga, only has Sumire being Kawaki's caretaker and the anime added a few "romantic" ksu moments, then realized, "wait, this isn't what's happening in the manga", and suddenly, it's like they never happened and ksu never even met.

ppl think that Sumire being Kawaki's caretaker will make her fall in love with him, yet HE asked about HER feelings for BORUTO, not him, BORUTO, his brother. both Mitsuki and Kawaki haven't shown any romantic feelings in ANYONE, including Sarada and Boruto. but at least with Boruto and Sumire, there's a spark there (Boruto being a little too much overprotective of her).

Sarada, however, currently, hopping to and from Mitsuki and Kawaki, so it's kinda hard to tell who'd she'll end up with but it'll probably be Mitsuki because Kawaki ruined Boruto's life. with Boruto, there's just that "he's my teammate, gotta keep him save", "my master told me to protect her so I have to."

say msu or ksu do get a lot of attention, you really think Sumire could look at them like she looks at Boruto. Boruto, himself, debunked that she may be a good actress, yet she can't hide her feelings. she can barely hide her feelings from Boruto in front of anyone. I'm honestly surprised Sarada didn't see the confession coming when Sumire started talking about if Boruto was popular with the girls back in Konoha.

but ppl start creating crazy theories that they'll end up together and that Kishi planned it.

but yes, I'm gonna rap this up:

basically, ppl (some) ship them because they're cute, most ship them to get all three out of the way.

[b0rusxmi]

Wow, you can ship Sumire & Hinata with everyone yet when someone ships BSA & NS or Sarada & Sakura with someone, it's suddenly a crime?????

Wow.

No wonder the naruto fandom is toxic because we got people like you out here

I don’t like Salad so of course I’m not gonna like bsa or any Salad ships, I feel bad for whoever she ends up with, having to put up with her shit. and I ship Sakura with Sasuke, Hinata, and Lee, I just don’t like ns because it won’t work out.

and the fandom is toxic because of you guys; the NS & SS fandom. you rarely get a calm SS (like me) that doesn’t troll the anti-SS tags and you NEVER find kind ns, EVER.

Based on spoilers for the new chapter so who knows what the actual translation is but honestly, I hope this means Sarada starts to really think about her relationships with everyone else and how her actions are affecting things. I get that she feels responsible for Boruto and vice versa (almost alarmingly codependent at times), but she has her own story to pay attention to. I was actually rooting for Sumire tbh and I hope Sumire's actions are more recognized by everyone but especially by Sarada and Boruto. I still like all the characters and their complexity, but it's been hard following along (getting Naruto flashbacks)

Well thankfully the official translation did Sumire more justice than the fan one and actually shows the full context of what she meant, she isn't just upset about the hug and actually understands why Sarada did it, but her problem is her complete and utter inconsideration for everyone around her, especially Sumire, her ONE ally that's been by her side supporting her, comforting her, listening to her, picking her up when she was down, worrying and trying to help her when she was hurt

Just look at how much support and consideration Sumire has given to Sarada

The compare it to the thought and consideration Sarada's given her.

Spoiler alert, she hasnt given any, and that's the problem.

I get that she feels responsible for Boruto and vice versa (almost alarmingly codependent at times), but she has her own story to pay attention to.

One would hope but given Ikemotos track record her only 'story' will be just as one of the plot convenient keys to undoing omnipotence

I was actually rooting for Sumire tbh and I hope Sumire's actions are more recognized by everyone but especially by Sarada and Boruto. I still like all the characters and their complexity, but it's been hard following along (getting Naruto flashbacks)

Same, it still frustrates me that Boruto has no idea that its only because of Sumire that Sasuke got sent his way, because if Sumire never snapped her out of it and brought her back to reality Sarada would still be sitting there crying and whining not doing anything, yet in the end the only one Boruto thanks is Sarada, shes also the only one he thinks is unaffected, meaning the entire 3 years [unless KK told him] he thought that Sarada was the only one on his side, having no idea Sumire was working just as hard to try and help him any way she could, he probably doesn't even know that the only reason Shikamaru is on his side now is BECAUSE of her also.

Sumire has done alot to help Boruto, it may not seem like much on the service, but its more than Sarada has done for him currently, Sumire is the main one getting results, but Sarada gets all the credit and recognition.

Im not even a fan of Sumire and think that's fked up, her contributions are just as meaningful and should be recognized as well, Sumire hasn't received a single thank you, not even the tiniest bit of acknowledgment, not even from her own friend Sarada that's been by her side this entire time, Sumire is HIGHLY underappreciated and I think that's partially why she made the comment about her still calling her 'class rep'

Sumire isnt particularly bothered by being called that, what bothers her is that her and Sarada are close friends, they are all they have during this hard time as the only two not brainwashed and on the same side, yet Sarada is still treating her like their class representative instead of her friend, her equal.

Think of it like this, in japan using titles like that is a sign of respect, while using a persons name, especially their first name, is a sign of closeness, so what bothered Sumire about Sarada still calling her that is that it put an unspoken distance between them that was only fueled more by Saradas complete lack of care about her feelings.

Sumire doesnt feel valued as Sarada's friend, all she does is give but never receives, the bare minimum Sarada could do is call her by name like she actually sees her as a close friend but she doesn't even do that, despite all they've been through together now, Sarada still keeps that unspoken distance between them, not treating her as an equal, nor friend, but just 'class rep'.

Im hoping this leads to some meaningful development for the two of them, because I'd hate if this was just tacked on as some meaningless melodrama just to make Sarada slip up in the current mission thinking about it, and then Sumire feels guilty and Sarada starts acting abnormally around Boruto to not upset Sumire making everybody awkward, etc etc ._.

Digital Transformation of AML

The digital transformation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to the integration of digital technologies and innovative solutions to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness of AML processes within financial institutions. As technology continues to advance, AML practices are evolving to keep up with the changing landscape of financial crimes. Here are some key aspects of the digital transformation of AML:

Data Analytics and Big Data: Digital transformation allows financial institutions to analyze vast amounts of data in real time. Advanced analytics and big data techniques can help identify patterns, anomalies, and trends associated with money laundering activities. Machine learning algorithms can learn from historical data to improve the detection of suspicious transactions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): AI and ML technologies play a significant role in automating AML processes. These technologies can analyze large datasets, identify complex patterns, and detect anomalies more accurately and quickly than traditional methods. AI-powered AML systems can continuously learn from new data, improving their effectiveness over time.

Blockchain Technology: Blockchain, the decentralized and secure digital ledger technology, has the potential to enhance AML efforts. It provides a transparent and immutable record of transactions, making it difficult for criminals to manipulate financial data. Some institutions are exploring blockchain for enhancing the traceability of transactions and ensuring the integrity of financial records.

Regtech (Regulatory Technology): Regtech solutions leverage technology to help financial institutions comply with regulatory requirements, including AML regulations. These tools automate regulatory compliance processes, reducing the burden of manual tasks and ensuring accurate and timely reporting.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA involves the use of software robots to automate repetitive tasks. In the context of AML, RPA can handle tasks such as data entry, document verification, and report generation, allowing human employees to focus on more complex and strategic aspects of AML compliance.

Digital Identity Verification: Digital technologies enable more robust and efficient methods of verifying customer identities. Biometric authentication, document verification using AI, and other digital identity solutions help in ensuring the legitimacy of customers, reducing the risk of identity theft and fraud.

Collaborative Platforms: Digital platforms facilitate collaboration and information sharing among financial institutions and regulatory authorities. Sharing insights and intelligence in real time can help in identifying emerging threats and improving overall AML efforts collectively.

The digital transformation of AML is essential in the fight against financial crimes. By leveraging innovative technologies, financial institutions can enhance their ability to detect and prevent money laundering activities, ensuring a more secure and compliant financial ecosystem. However, it's important to note that with these advancements, there are also challenges related to data privacy, cybersecurity, and ethical use of technology that need to be addressed effectively.

BitMEX, the cryptocurrency trading platform, has incurred a substantial $100 million penalty for contravening US anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. This penalty arises from the company’s noncompliance with the US Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), which permitted unlawful transactions on its platform for multiple years. Noncompliance With KYC And AML Regulations The violation stems from BitMEX’s lack of sufficient Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, which are necessary for any platform operating in the US. The goal of these protocols is to prevent illegal financial activities like money laundering. BitMEX’s inability to enforce these rules permitted US users to circumvent regulations and engage in illicit trading on the platform, resulting in the infractions. Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has been fined $100 million for violating the federal Bank Secrecy Act by failing to adequately police money laundering, the DOJ said https://t.co/9hUmB2w2TD pic.twitter.com/nwZpcLD9gD — Reuters Legal (@ReutersLegal) January 15, 2025 Repercussions For BitMEX Founders BitMEX as a whole is not the exclusive target of the penalty. There are legal ramifications for the platform’s developers, who actively oversaw these breaches. Their failure to ensure compliance has significantly increased the penalty. This case highlights the financial and personal risks faced by CEOs of bitcoin exchanges that fail to set up regulatory frameworks. Imposition Of A Two-Year Probationary Period The trading platform responded to Judge John Koeltl’s order by stating that the penalty is for an offense for which its founders received a fine in 2022. The exchange said in a statement on Wednesday that the $100 million fine is less than the $200 million that the Department of Justice (DoJ) had originally requested. BTCUSD trading at $98,832 on the 24-hour chart: TradingView.com Apart from these penalties, BitMEX’s parent company has faced a two-year probation. Throughout this probation period, the exchange needs to develop its compliance practices and demonstrate a commitment to adhering to the law. This probation is intended to verify that the company has learned its lesson and is actively taking measures to prevent any future violations. Guilty Plea BitMEX entered a guilty plea to a violation of the US Bank Secrecy Act in July 2024. The Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office declared that it had identified the conversation as a deliberate breach of existing statutes. Benjamin Delo, Samuel Reed, and Arthur Hayes had acknowledged operating the exchange without requiring Know-Your-Customer (KYC) checks as early as 2020. Penalties For The Crypto Industry The penalty and probation might establish a precedent, leading to more stringent regulations throughout the industry. This represents a pivotal moment in the overarching discourse over the future of cryptocurrency regulations. Featured image from Telegrafi, chart from TradingView
