The boruto The manga has unfortunately overlooked one very important thing, the reason why the main characters of the series happen to be assigned to the same number of teams as Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura did in Naruto. However, the anime actually thoroughly explains how Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki were assigned to Team 7, and it’s more nuanced than manga fans can imagine.
The truth is that the three young shinobi were actually assigned to a team with a completely different number, and they became the iconic Team 7 after a rather tumultuous time in Boruto and Sarada’s relationship without Manga readers will be surprised to know. know about. Manga may always portray Boruto and Sarada as close, but the two don’t get along at all at first. In fact, Sarada immediately wanted to switch to another team when she knew she would be teaming up with Boruto. Of course, a later challenge requiring the two to work together as a team would change Sarada’s view of Boruto. Instead of asking to transfer to another team, Sarada asked Naruto to change their team’s name to Team 7 in episode #35 of the anime.
The new team 7 is the same as the old team not only in the name
The fact that Sarada made this request at this particular time represents more than (not) shown in the manga, where it appears that the three shinobi are randomly assigned to Team 7. Knowing that their parents are from that particular team and seeing how close they are at the moment, Sarada’s actions prove she believes that she and Boruto can one day share the same thing. a type of relationship. Sarada basically promises Boruto that one day they will become as close as their parents.
The similarities are also more significant considering Sakura’s earlier comments about her daughter’s problems with Boruto. Sakura couldn’t help but notice that what Sarada feels about Boruto is the same as how she first saw Naruto when they were initially assigned to their own Team 7. So Naruto and Sakura’s children are following in their parents’ footsteps in more ways than just enlisting on the same team. While Team 7 serves as a more tangible representation of the similarity of both generations, it goes much deeper than just one name.
Sarada and Boruto respect and imitate the relationship their parents have
Of course, there is something to be said about randomness and chance, although that is highly unlikely. There are teams other than Team 7 that repeat the teams of the previous generation, and it is clear that Naruto and possibly other high-level shinobi are involved in these seemingly fortuitous incidents. However, the fact that Sarada actually asked to be assigned to Team 7 shows the respect and admiration she has for Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto’s legacy and their relationship, and boruto anime offers in this regard.
