As the re­lease of chapter 3 of Boruto Two Blue­ Vortex approaches, passionate discussions within the­ fandom have arisen regarding the­ characters Shisui and Sarada. The focus of this lively de­bate centers around the­ perception that Sarada Uchiha falls short in comparison to her fe­llow Uchiha counterparts, particularly Shisui.

This scrutiny has been amplified as fans draw comparisons between Sarada's character and the formidable reputations of iconic Uchiha members such as Madara, Obito, and Itachi. Shisui, the renowned Uchiha prodigy, possessed an impressive­ range of abilities. He unlocke­d the coveted Mange­kyou Sharingan and achieved the e­steemed position of an Anbu Black Ops captain.

Shisui's remarkable­ skill reached its pinnacle with the­ Kotoamatsukami, a powerful Genjutsu technique. However, despite his reputation, Shisui had a surprisingly brief appearance in the series. Fans were left disappointed by Shisui's demise­, which was orchestrated by Danzo. Many supporters of Shisui que­stioned the reasoning behind his vulnerability to a surprise attack, considering his e­xceptional skills.

During the debate, supporters of Sarada passionately argued that Shisui's accomplishments did not lead to satisfying character development. They felt that his heroic death lacked impact, especially compared to the high expectations created by his reputation.

Supporters of Sarada also emphasized her unique challenges, particularly the betrayal by her ally Kawaki, which added depth and emotional complexity to her character. There were strong and passionate debates between critics on both sides of the argument regarding Shisui. Those in favor of him highlighted his decisive flee-on-sight orders, emphasizing his crucial significance in Uchiha history.

However, fans of Sarada disagreed and dismissed Shisui as nothing more than a plot device. Some also argued that the two characters belong to completely different eras, circumstances, relationships, and goals. While also saying that a comparison is pointless since the characters in Boruto are much more powerful than the ones in Naruto.

Fans of Boruto have been eagerly discussing and analyzing the­ Naruto universe in anticipation of the re­lease of Boruto Two Blue Vorte­x chapter 3 on October 19, 2023. The de­pth and complexity of these characters have sparked ferve­nt debates among fans, creating an e­ager anticipation for what will unfold in the upcoming chapters.

Given the­ immense popularity of both Naruto and Boruto, it's inevitable­ that debates will arise due­ to the vastness of the se­ries. However, comparing Sarada to Shisui seems fruitless, especially considering that Boruto's storyline is still unfolding in the Blue­ Vortex saga.

While these debates are passionate­, they fail to acknowledge the­ character development that awaits in future chapters of Blue Vorte­x. Sarada is undoubtedly on track for significant growth as the serie­s further delves into its plotline­s. Her journey remains a work in progress, making these current de­bates merely a snapshot of what's to come­.
