Jinzo-ningen (人造人間) doesn't translate to "Android", Mitsuki is not a robot. Artificial Human is how it sounds like; a man-made/synthetic human being made artificially instead of natural ways. |

| Really good episode. This is one of the best episodes so far and I can't wait to see how Mitsuki enhances his power in this day in age being everything is more modern and done with a lot of science. |

| Oh the Mitsuki one-shot finally got adapted, I remembered reading this years ago. But damn, I love Orochimaru sword fight, it's been a long time since we saw him with the sword. |
 |
| is there no episode 40 this week |
 |
| Mitsuki with sage mode was badass af! |
 |
| S-S-So since Suigetsu helped a lot with making Mitsuki, would that make him his h-his h-h-his parent also? o////o I-I asked it! I-I asked the question! salkjfsdlkjs!! Okay but seriously, what can we call 'em? "Good ol' uncle Suigetsu"?" Second parent but not biologically... maybe, Suigetsu"? Actually Mitsuki's hair... I dunno, I wouldn't doubt if Suigetsu donated a little something something. Uh, though he has part of Juugo's abilities too... so I guess maybe everyone at Orochimaru's place is his parent in a way, but not in the sense of rearing. That would go to Orochimaru. I just kinda want to say "Uncle Suigetsu" though. That's cute. Can't stop; won't stop. |
| Naruto is finally over for me, the Mitsuki one shot was the last thing I wanted to see get animated. |
| Orochimaru fighting with a sword looked like straight up Sasuke. But then again, I guess he's the one Sasuke learned from. Although we didn't see Sasuke use his sword like a badass until Boruto the Movie. |
FreshIngredient said: Naruto is finally over for me, the Mitsuki one shot was the last thing I wanted to see get animated. It was bound to happen sooner or later, right? It's part of his backstory, and I think it's important that the viewers know about it. Whether you wanted it to get animated or not is out of your hands. And if I say so myself, I think that's a pretty silly reason to hate on the series. This is far from the worst thing we've seen in the anime so far -- in fact, I'd say it's one of the better stories to come out of the Next Generation. |
| Mitsuki episode and it was amazing <3 |
hiddenhokage said: Who's hating? you don't seem to get where I'm coming from, after that shin story arc I put this show on hold and said I'd only tune back in if they did the Mitsuki one shot, they did it I loved it and now I can move on I'm not dropping the series because I thought this episode was bad, I'm just not interested in seeing where the show goes from here, I'm good....Naruto is over FOR ME.FreshIngredient said: Naruto is finally over for me, the Mitsuki one shot was the last thing I wanted to see get animated.

| I've always loved this chapter and I'm glad to see it animated. It feels good to see Orochimaru caring for his children. awwwwww |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Aaaah! One of the best episodes so far for sure. So glad we got to see some Orichimaru action, it's been a long time. I had my suspicions that Mitsuki would be really strong.. but man that's so OP lmao I'm loving it. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Orochimaru is kind?! kekeke |

I just kinda want to say "Uncle Suigetsu" though. That's cute. Can't stop; won't stop. I had sort of similar thoughts on this as well, ever since Mitsuki asked Orochimaru if he was his mother or father I kept going over some of the things Orochimaru said, especially before the scene of him going Sage Mode and I'm almost convinced that his current body is a she and while he, or rather she, created both Mitsuki's artificially to be how she wanted them I still think she impregnated herself and carried both of them and gave birth to the pair. |
| Tell me if I'm getting this wrong. Orochimaru and old Mitsuki said he needed a seed to make artificial humans, and that seed was contained in the chest, Mitsuki opens the chest and sees information about Boruto. Is the implication here that Orochimaru has made Mitsuki believe he was created using some part of Boruto, essentially making him believe Boruto is his second "parent"? And old Mitsuki has supposedly erased that information from Orochimaru's mind. Cause if it is it's kinda wierd to not see "Boruto is Mitsuki's parent (in his eyes)" everyone on this forum, that's the only reason I think I'm understanding this wrong. @Swiggy @hiddenhokage since I want an answer and you guys posted a few times. |

I think you're reading a bit too much into it. I don't think it was implied anywhere that Orochimaru was trying to brainwash Mitsuki into thinking Boruto is his "second parent". I personally think it's more of a symbolic thing. You need to look at the kanji to understand this more clearly, but basically the way Mitsuki was written before (巳杯) literally translated into "Snake Vessel". But when he decides to go off on his own, he changes the kanji in his name to mean "Moon" (巳月). Hence why he refers to Boruto as his "sun". I think it's more about Orochimaru just using Mitsuki as a way to snake his way into being relevant again by trying to create an artificial BFF for Boruto. TLDR: It's just a symbolic thing. Mitsuki is the Moon, Boruto is the Sun. I don't think Mitsuki thinks Boruto is his "second parent", as in all translations Mitsuki only refers to "a parent" in singular form (referring to Orochimaru). |

I'll be honest, Mitsuki's being has been befuddling me a bit. I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll offer whatever thoughts I have. Hopefully it helps! I would like to start by saying that I like the way you think! I think some of this could be answered better after we know why Boruto was included in a "Top Secret Mission" in the first place and why Orochimaru/Older Mitsuki had it. I think that upon opening the scroll and seeing that there was no embryo (regardless of what was inside), he realized it was all an act. It was more meant to reassure him that he made the right decision to forge his own path, but he ended up taking Boruto being in the scroll a step further and decided to make him his goal, because despite deciding he'd make his own decisions, he had no actual goal before. This was also Orochimaru's plan; for Mitsuki to find some type of motivation to go to Konoha. I'm also not super sure how Mitsuki would come to the conclusion that he'd have any part of Boruto mostly because the embryo was presumably around before Boruto was born (as it was used for older Mitsuki). I feel like, it'd be a little harder for him (but not for us) to draw that conclusion with the information he has. Because as far as he knows, he's made from the embryo and Orochimaru. HOWEVER, there is still the possibility that what you've thought of could be the case considering that we just don't know what that top secret mission involving Boruto was. It could have involved maybe some type of sharing of something from Boruto. Actually, the bit where Orochimaru thanked Naruto for the "favor" was when I personally thought there was more to the "favor" than just letting Mitsuki go to school in Konoha. With that, we can maybe assume Mitsuki was made from the embryo + Orochimaru + possible other sources which might or might not include Boruto. It's just really hard to assume. Mitsuki could be viewing Boruto as parental, but it might be good to note that Mitsuki refers to Boruto as his "Sun" while Mitsuki is the "Moon". Historically in Japan, the Sun and Moon rule together, and that's in reference to Amaterasu, the goddess of the Sun and her brother, Tsukuyomi, who is the god of the Moon, who both ruled in a complementary manner (though Amaterasu was lauded significantly more). This might actually suggest more of a brotherly bond if any-- not that I feel they're biological brothers, but a parental bond might not be what they're getting at. The connection with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi might be further emphasized by Mitsuki insisting that Boruto will become the hokage (ruling as the sun). It should also be noted that Mitsuki was previously trying to figure out if Boruto was, indeed, the "sun" to his "moon", but this is, as explained further in other scenes, more of a reference to who he chooses to follow as opposed to a path he's told to follow. He only declared Boruto to be his "sun" later on. This is a lot more emphasized as the relation between the two as opposed to a parental one. I think after Orochimaru said the parental bond details weren't important, we too were supposed to drop it, but we didn't for what I feel is good reason. They failed to tie up just how Mitsuki was created and left it kinda ambiguous to the point where the audience is drawing logical assumptions from the information that they presented to us.;; Hopefully everything will be a lot ore clear after we get more info. IF we ever get more info. Good luck on your quest for knowledge! |
| I wasn't fan of Mitsuki one-shot, but I do love him as a character, so it was fine to watch, I guess. Plus, good to know he'll grow up to become quite a bishie :3 His seiyuu did a great job as well, hope he'll get more lead roles from now on. |

| Finally a good episode, it's been a while. |
 |
| awesome milestone episode all about mitsuki, very interesting. i can't even question anything that is happening here, i think it's best if i just took everything for face value. i am no doubt, however, super curious about the older mitsuki looking dude. this episode solidifies the extent of how dedicated mitsuki will be to boruto, which is seriously strange when you think about the previous team 7. at that time, it was naruto who was always going after sasuke. and now it's mitsuki following boruto. |
| That was kinda nice, learning about how Mitsuki came to be. |
 |
| Well that was confusing and I want to know why Older Mitsuki put some random picture of Boruto in the case to motivate Mitsuki... |
| I really like Mitsuki! He's weird but likable :) |
