The cover page of Boruto chapter 80 featuring Sarada Uchiha has garnered significant criticism on social media due to its design, leaving many fans disappointed. Ever since Sarada made her debut in the Boruto series, there has been a lot of debate about her character design, with many fans expressing disappointment towards Ikemoto's drawing style. Fortunately, the anime adaptation changed her clothing to better suit her age, which relieved many viewers. Although this chapter is significant for Sarada's character growth, the cover image ultimately falls short of doing justice to her.Disclaimer: This article contains major spoilers from the Boruto manga.Sarada's design in Boruto chapter 80 enrages fans on TwitterSarada as seen in the anime (Image via Studio Pierrot)Raw scans for Boruto chapter 80 were released on April 18, 2023, bringing joy to numerous readers who eagerly awaited its arrival.

The objectification of female characters in mangaw is a prevalent issue, and unfortunately, it often undermines the strength and purpose of these characters. Sarada, for instance, is a powerful kunoichi who has proven her worth time and time again. However, fans took to Twitter to express their satisfaction with the design of Sarada's character, stating that it objectifies her for no apparent reason.Hamoxii@Hamoxiii@Abdul_S172 Why does ikemoto keep doing these poses 76@Abdul_S172 Why does ikemoto keep doing these poses 😭😭 https://t.co/lLtYNtJTIMア ピ ケ@DamianWayne6987@Abdul_S172 Ikemoto when he draw sarada47611@Abdul_S172 Ikemoto when he draw sarada https://t.co/HfSuare2an𝕪𝕚𝕟𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕛𝕚𝕟 🌙@yinraijin_@Abdul_S172 Ikemoto, come on now…yk how this look.

Ikemoto has consistently been the subject of repeated criticism for his tendency to depict these characters in a manner considered distasteful or inappropriate.laser ninja@godsaltacct@Samul_VanDerHal nope, ikemoto should actually be banned from drawing sarada@Samul_VanDerHal nope, ikemoto should actually be banned from drawing sarada https://t.co/O6EV8LQrq8In addition to being subpar artistically, the cover art in question has also faced criticism for its anatomical inaccuracies. A Twitter user has pointed out that the figure's pose appears to be incorrect, and the proportions are off, particularly in regards to the size of Sarada's head.Twitter users also expressed their dissatisfaction by suggesting that the original mangaka, Kishimoto, should return to drawing the series.The Great Tadzuna@Tadzuna123@Abdul_S172 Let kishimoto draw the manga bruh, no means to disrespect but this art is not it. her head is too big.@Abdul_S172 Let kishimoto draw the manga bruh, no means to disrespect but this art is not it. her head is too big.Pure Planet@My_Pure_Planet@LorTomo2 Kishimoto’s Sarada is SO MUCH BETTER DESIGNED! Someone just needs to fire Ikemoto immediately The way he depicts Sarada as a prepubescent girl just gives me the creeps. I still have no idea why Kishimoto green lights his designs or tolerates him.91@LorTomo2 Kishimoto’s Sarada is SO MUCH BETTER DESIGNED! Someone just needs to fire Ikemoto immediately 😭 The way he depicts Sarada as a prepubescent girl just gives me the creeps. I still have no idea why Kishimoto green lights his designs or tolerates him. https://t.co/bHD1QUCwJ1However, it should be noted that this is not possible at the moment, as Kishimoto is currently occupied with the upcoming Minato spinoff series. This project is likely to require a significant amount of time and energy from Kishimoto. It is also probably the reason why Boruto is going on a hiatus.Despite the criticisms leveled against the Boruto chapter 80 cover, there are still some individuals who appreciate its design. One such Twitter user expressed their admiration for the choice of colors used on Sarada's outfit, which resemble those of her parents, Sasuke and Sakura.Sodier@SodierOniThe new #sarada cover was so COOL, I printed it and displayed it.. she's just so AWESOME #borutochapter80spoilers #BORUTO5311The new #sarada cover was so COOL, I printed it and displayed it.. she's just so AWESOME #borutochapter80spoilers #BORUTO https://t.co/yg09WYwqL8𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢🧸💕@monkeyD_liliJust realized that sarada is wearing sakura's and sasuke's colors in the new cover, I love it🥺#BorutoCh80spoilers33341Just realized that sarada is wearing sakura's and sasuke's colors in the new cover, I love it🥺💕#BorutoCh80spoilers https://t.co/wkIFd3YZiCIt should also be noted that there are those who have criticized this particular opinion, arguing that the colors used on Sarada's outfit are a superficial detail. They claimed that these do not make up for the overall shortcomings of the cover artwork.𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐢🧸💕@monkeyD_liliI love the colors not the cover and clothes btw1I love the colors not the cover and clothes btw😤• Luna@stellansnoxThe only good thing about Sarada's cover is that she's wearing her parents'colors lol I'm just going to ignore everything else41The only good thing about Sarada's cover is that she's wearing her parents'colors lol I'm just going to ignore everything elseIn conclusion, Sarada's portrayal on the cover of Boruto chapter 80 does not reflect her character or motivations. Even in the context of the chapter, in which she receives an astounding power and breaks the Uchiha curse, such representation is demeaning.
