However, the chief director of Boruto strongly believes that Boruto will definitely live up to the expectations, and do even more. Director Hiroyuki Yamashita and chief director Noriyuki Abe spoke about their work on Boruto: Next Generations.
The two talked about Naruto, it’s legacy, and how Boruto will live up to it. They both know that Boruto will have many fans who will continue watching from Naruto, so they have to live up to their expectations.
“I’ve inherited the epic tale of Naruto and the souls of its gigantic cast of characters. And, at the same time, I awakened myself to this new era and this new protagonist’s story,” Abe said.
“This is honestly very difficult, but at the same time, it’s worth the effort. I’m getting numb. The entire staff is mobilized to make this interesting and fun. You can expect great things. I will never betray my fellow Naruto fans.”
Yamashita echoed the chief director’s thoughts, saying, “There are two types of viewers: the people who expect great things from Boruto and the ones who are new to the series. If they both feel [like] they want to watch over him, that would make me happy.”
This certainly means that they are keeping a keen eye towards how fans will react. What’s more, it also points towards the fact that Naruto may ultimately not be killed off, because that would upset a lot of fans.
