Why Boruto is Getting a Time Skip Explained

Boruto‘s time skip has been teased since the very first chapter of the series, but it will serve a different function compared to similar plot devices seen in other franchises. For the most part, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is not a future-facing open-ended story, but rather a backward-looking string of recollections that lead up to the conclusion fans have known about from the start. While this might seem a peculiar way to organize a manga story, it may yet again prove creator Masashi Kishimoto’s genius.
