The recent release of Masashi Kishimoto’s illustration featuring Naruto and Boruto has sparked a frenzy on the internet. Fans, upon viewing such artwork online, frequently make connections to characters from other fanbases.

In this instance, Naruto and Boruto have been likened to two highly acclaimed figures from the DC Universe and The Boys, namely Superman and Homelander. The latter has gained significant attention thanks to the widespread success of The Boys. Homelander’s mischievous actions have propelled him to become one of the most captivating characters of our time, leading many internet users to draw parallels between him and Boruto.

Please note: This article contains major spoilers from the manga chapters of Two Blue Vortex.

Why Has There Been a Comparison Between Superman and Homelander to Naruto and Boruto?

Many online users enjoy mocking characters from the television programs they follow. The latest installments of Two Blue Vortex have provided ample inspiration for this, as the manga depicted Boruto becoming a wanted criminal and being viewed as a threat by the government. Eida’s Omnipotence was the cause of this, resulting in Kawaki and Boruto swapping roles.

Despite being accused of killing the Seventh Hokage and Hinata Hyuga, the protagonist was deemed a criminal by Konohagakure. The villagers viewed him as a terrorist who had committed a crime and defected from their village. In contrast, Homelander, known for his psychotic tendencies, was initially seen as a hero but ultimately revealed to be one of the main antagonists in The Boys.

Despite not being in identical situations, fans still drew comparisons between Naruto and Boruto to Superman and Homelander, respectively. This is due to the fact that Naruto Uzumaki, a renowned hero, has repeatedly rescued his village and serves as their leader. This is why he is often likened to Superman, a leader known for his heroic qualities.

How fans responded to the comparison of Naruto and Boruto with Superman and Homelander

It is evident that the individual drawing parallels between Boruto and Homelander is using satire. They are pointing out that the main character’s act of killing his parents is similar to Homelander’s. However, this is not actually the case; rather, it is the perception of the village of Konoha, influenced by Eida. Despite this, some fans are appreciating and understanding the reasoning behind this comparison.

“Dont you dare compare Boruto to that insecure psycho…”, said one fan

“Name one thing Boruto has done to deserve that comparison”, said another

“Killed Naruto and Hinata in cold blood, made their children kawaki and himawari orphans”, said another fan

“THOSE ARE FRAUDULENT CLAIMS. BORUTO IS INNOCENT”, said one netizen

At the same time, a group of netizens have united to support the main character. They firmly believe that Boruto is not at fault in this situation, and those who have read the manga will agree. The comparison between Naruto and Boruto to Superman and Homelander has created a lot of discussion on X.
