| Do i need to watch shippuden to watch boruto? i have seen all of the original naruto. but for shipudden ive only seen maybe 60 episodes |
| Yes. If you don't, you won't know who some of the characters are and you will be wondering how certain characters ended up in certain positions or how they gained their abilities. Shippuden is pretty different from the original series and a lot happens in it. |
 What's the difference? |
| Doubt it, restarts like this always introduce everyone accordingly as the story requires. |

Avorto said: Do i need to watch shippuden to watch boruto? i have seen all of the original naruto. but for shipudden ive only seen maybe 60 episodes I think you should do the anime justice and watch it completely since it's finally finished (unless you read the manga then that would be fine as well) skipping many of the fillers would also save you time :3 |

| You don't have to watch Shippuden to watch Boruto. Boruto takes place many years after the events of Naruto where the original Naruto characters are adults now, but that doesn't mean you have to watch Shippuden in order to enjoy Boruto. Boruto is starting right at the ninja academy with completely new concepts and world building from the improvements that the Leaf Village has had over the years. There will be new characters introduced that even fans of Naruto don't even know yet. Boruto is just a standalone sequel. Although it really is way way more enjoyable to watch Boruto after finishing the whole Naruto series, Shippuden is not a requirement. |

| I think you should. You will appreciate the jutsu and their side story flashbacks better in boruto |
 |
| No you don't. Boruto is basically the original Naruto with a new generation of ninjas. There's really nothing from shippudrn that's important enough to know other than I would recommend watching the boruto movie though. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tag |

| You have to suffer through the infinite fillers like we did pal, you BETTER not be trying to avoid it. |

| You technically don't need to. But it's better if you do, as you'll understand characters and more importantly concepts about the world. |

| Thread moved to Anime sub-board. |
| Some story events could be confusing, but so far it just seems to follow the adventures of the next generation... But you not know about some things like why X character has only one arm. Or why Y character isn't a wanted fugitive anymore... etc. Well I guess if you never watched Naruto much it wouldn't really matter about that anyway. And no doubt it'll have filler episodes for some flashbacks lol |
     |
| Since the only things that Boruto has going for it are fan service and franchise milking, I'd say you really need to watch Shippuuden to get anything out of it. |

Jellyfish-san said: I can say for sure that I wouldn't watch that 10 or so year long series only to get ready for the sequel, that just beats the purpose. I wasn't following Naruto after the end of the original series either and if I will end up watching this it would be just on a whim. And no, I won't be wondering about whatever has happened before, I'd rather just enjoy this anime for what it is. First of all, you don't need to watch the entire Shippuden anime. You could skip all the fillers or just read the manga, which would be much faster than watching all 500 or so episodes. Second of all, that's great for you that you won't be wondering about what happened beforehand, but that is your own personal preference and probably not what the OP thinks. Since he has seen 60 episodes of Shippuden already, I would assume that he has some interest in the events of the series, so watching Boruto without finishing Shippuden would spoil a lot of things and not explain a few things as well. |
What's the difference? |
| Honestly , from so far what I've seen from Manga. Just avoid it altogether and just watch Shippuden. |

| Great idea for the series... start up Naruto flashback and we get 700 episodes that can be copied from previous series :) |
Avorto said: Do i need to watch shippuden to watch boruto? i have seen all of the original naruto. but for shipudden ive only seen maybe 60 episodes I sure you get more value if you did watch Shipudden. As for the spoilers I am sure someone made a list of all the episodes so you can skip them. |
