Amado didn't just pull off a "feat of intelligence". He is greatly intelligent, but he came to the realization because he had intimate knowledge with a very specific element. That being Kawaki's markings.
amado is the last boss he can give all Shibai power to anyone I think he gives himself all Shibai power or Shibai karma he is intelligent but he really wants his daughter back soo he do it himself but Shibai resurrect . or his daughter is a lie and he have shibari karma already and he intension something else or chakra fruit we must wait and see what happened in end
Yes but think this way: you are shikamaru, naruto dies in hands of boruto - his adopted son and you feel strange about it for some time. Then sarada, person who should hate boruto because he killed her idol naruto is saying that boruto is innocent every day. Then one of the smartest person on earth makes a valid argument that his memories have been altered. Having iq over 200 would certainly make you understan something. My theory is that shikamaru knows this, maybe for some time already, but if he tells someone kawaki, eida and daemon will probably kill or capture him so he keeps his mouth shut about it until he gets a chance.
@@Deme10-p9x in the desk of narouto in the Hokage office naruto has a picture off his family I think Shikamaru ween become Hokage saw that picture and hid it he knows his memory changed but he start play with other
Intelligence is not what out right leads Amado to assume his memories have been altered. Amado recognizing his own work and that his current memories don’t have a HOW kawaki has had work done to him. So it’s only logical to conclude his memories have been altered because he is the only one capable of doing the work he did. Hence why he recognized it. Shikamaru and Amado concluding their memories have been altered would be due to different circumstances. Shikamaru would have to do detective work and use his intelligence Amado just has to recognize his work which would lead to him thinking something is off
@@murdafrmda4565 sure yah but you get my base point tho. Both are smart. Both for different reasons. Allowing them to come to similar conclusions just by different means. Amado is book smart. With Science and Math. Experimenting through creation and trial/ error. Giving him his smarts. Shikamaru is lazy partially because of having such a high IQ. But his intelligence is more of a kind of strategy, psychology and common sense. Albeit if he applied himself I’m sure he could be just as smart as Amado. Orchimaru would be a good example of someone who is both Intellectually smart with battle tactics and strategy. While also being my able to apply that to his Science. He’d be kinda like the middle ground. Not quite as science smart as Amado and not quite the genius in battle compared to shikamaru.
I had been speculating for a couple chapters that shikamaru already knew about the memory change. I find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t have given any credence to what Sarada was telling him when he was aware they were immune to the effects of eida, so if she came to him it’s likely he would think about it and maybe he pretended not to know because Eida would know and there isn’t anyone in the village who could directly beat kawaki
15:10 - How is Konohamaru too young?! He's currently older than Minato. He was 12 at the end of Shippuden, *an unknown time passes,* Boruto is born, now Boruto is 16. That means he is well over 28. Minato was Hokage at 24. Gaara became Kazekage at an even younger age.
Gaara's age is irrelevant. Different village, different standards. But I still think you do have a point. It's not really the age as much as it is the experience it tends to bring. Minato was chosen because he was already skilled enough to fend off entire armies and prodigy of almost unseen magnitude. Konohamaru's issue is that he simply lacks feats due to living his teen and adult years in era of peace. In eyes of everyone older than him he's simply too inexperienced comapred to pretty much anyone important in 4th war.
Shikamaru is a character in a Shonin anime; his intelligence looks tactical rather than practical because of his circumstances. His political genius was not applicable when he was a Genin or Chunin but now as a Hokage we should see more of it.
Haven’t watched the video, but I’m gonna guess that the theory is: Shikamaru actually realized his memories were altered because he’s very smart, and is just pretending so he can find out what happened and find a way to fix it without getting killed by Kawaki.
Remember Omnipotence simply switched Kawaki and Boruto in people's minds. Naruto's death is only presumed because Eida lied once, no supernatural power involved. I'm sure Shikamaru has known about the switch the whole time for the same reason Sumire deduced it in 79, he just needs to hide that to protect the girls' secret from Eida. Amado this chapter might have just given him license to act on what he's already known.
This 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Shikamaru explicitly told Sumire and Sarada (back when Eida first came to the village) that they needed to maintain their position over Eida and they have an advantage over her. If he had doubts before, they are definitely confirmed with what Amado said. Def hope Shikamaru has a moment in the next chapter, let us know what that smarty is thinking.
Exactly. They only believe that because they have no reason to doubt Hokage's son and the person who's walking universal security camera. If evidence is presented pointing to the contrary, there's no reason why anyone wouldn't be able to doubt the validity of the things they said. It would actually be quite hilarious if the next plot twist ended up being that while they still believe that Kawaki is Boruto, they also believe that since he and Eida lied about Naruto's fate they're now probably responsible for making him disappear. So in a way, Boruto still ends being the outcast, just not the real Boruto. Let's also not forget that everyone still remembers how Boruto cheated in Chuunin exams and how Naruto humiliated him. Or that he's still otsutsukified. There's plenty of reasonable explanations for why Boruto would turn against his dad. And he's been acting weirdly since then, characters like Mitsuki and Hiwamari and probably plenty of others must have noticed that. Maybe that's because of the guilt for what he did or because of he's not himself anymore. But honestly, I'd rather see Boruto and Sarada receiving that easy way to turn the tables. Boruto, the main character becoming total outcast was cool twist. I don't want Kishimoto to immediately start backtracking and undoing it without Boruto and Sarada earning that. I guess best way would to compromise would be that they do a bit of detective work and figure out what Kawaki did and reveal the truth about Naruto for the world.
@@ge_ka_bu you're mistaken, Eida still believes the girls are subject to her charm. Shikamaru needs to keep that secret because he knows he'll need to count on them to eliminate Eida if she turns on the Leaf. Also, we now know he has figured out the switch in the past and just doesn't remember because Omnipotence has continued to smooth over people's memories long after activation.
Here's something to consider when it comes to Narutos chakra signature. Granted, this was Naruto, not Boruto, but it was stated by Tsunade in the war that all Hokage's since Minato have a Hiraishin mark placed on them by the Hokage's guards. That means Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, and probably Shikamaru should have such marks on them. Those guards are still around, and even though it took 3 of them, it shows that several Jonin working together should be able to pull off Hiriashin to get to a Hokage. Since Boruto was shown to travel between dimensions using the same skill, it's likely Konoha could reach Naruto assuming the continuity isn't changed.
Even if they could, they would be going into a timeless dimension, so the second they entered it, they would be frozen in time and unable to do anything while in there. If there were able to pull Naruto out without having to enter, they'd be fine.
@@0errab0 I think time doesn't pass, but others in it aren't just naturally frozen. Kawaki was able to move in it, and speak to Naruto while he was in there.
I saw it in a comment on one of your videos and I think it was a very on point observation: Kawaki, Eida and Daemon are all forces within Konoha that are completely unchecked. Therefore it is safe to assume that even if Shikamaru has figured out that Boruto is innocent relatively early, he would keep that to himself and lay low, in order to prevent the three nuclear bombs he has under his care from going off. Until he has the means to covertly do something about these threats, he essentially has to play along and wait for an opportunity. Which might be coming soon, seeing how Boruto is now back and in the open. Also, it's worth pointing out that he knows Sarada is immune to Eida's charm, which gives him grounds to suspect Eida might have done something to all of them except Sarada (and Sumire). He also knows that Amado has installed a shutdown mechanism into Kawaki... which Kawaki does not. Edit: according to rewritten memories, Shikamaru should also think that Eida has hots for Boruto... but knowing Eida, she kept demonstrating that to be incorrect and Shikamaru kept working with her for intel in spite of her supposed allegiance with the enemy of the Village. All the more evidence for him knowing something is up.
I agree, but I also think you're underestimating Amado. I think he has to know that he's being monitored, or at the very least suspects that Sumire will rely their conversation to Shikamaru. The question is why is Amado revealing this now? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Shikamaru knew or at least suspected this for awhile. Because, remember, he specifically told Sumire & Sarada that they were basically their only defense against Eida. Meaning, even if it was going against his own instincts, he'd still have to give more credence to what they were saying/doing. But he couldn't actively side with them & Boruto because of the possibility that Eida would find out & tell Kawaki And I think shikamaru's contemplative silence at the end of the chapter was partly because of this and also because he's wondering why Amado is revealing all of this now, even though he most likely knows he's being surveilled (either by cameras/mics or through Sumire) Basically I think we're seeing two Master level schemers/strategizers trying to out do each other without letting the other one know too much, while also knowing the other one most definitely knows that they know... that they know. I confused myself by the end there, but I think you can get what im trying to say 😅 And now I'm getting flashbacks of the poison scene from 'The Princess Bride', lol, "Inconceivable!"
Exactly, if I were in Amado's position, I'd be more surprised if I were NOT monitored in some way than if I were, especially with someone as Shikamaru as the hokage. The right question, as you said, is why now? I'd say that has to do with the attack on Konoha. If I'm going with the assumption that he's heard Boruto was spotted in Konoha confronting Code and easily incapaciting him, then he needs a way to make it possible for Boruto to stay without being attacked by the whole village. One, because he needs to confirm who actually has the mark he needs to revive his daughter (he knows his memory was tempered with, but not in which way, which can be crucial in determining how to proceed next). Two, because Boruto has most likely information on the claw grimes that they all need to survive. Three, having Boruto around significantly raises their odds for survival, again. The only one who has such political power is Shikamaru, obviously, but even he will need proof to publicly exonerate Boruto. So giving him tangible evidence for them having their memory tempered will help them all.
@@drawingspider7798 ya I was going to get into some of the possibilities but my post was already pretty long, but I think you're pretty spot on. I'm just worried about what he's not saying, like is this all just going according to his plan or is he just trying to figure it out like everyone else Probably somewhere in between, but whatever the case, I still think he's one of if not the most dangerous person the Leaf needs to worry about. And I think it would be really cool to see him & Shikamaru in a battle of wits for the rest of this arc, I really hope they play that up
@@jsull81 I agree, though I suspect they both are already engaged in that battle of wits. I enjoy Amado as a character quite a bit, he's quite the engaging, morally (dark) grey character. We know he doesn't mind experimenting on children, and doesn't hesitate in manipulating and sacrificing others, will absolutely betray you if necessary with every good rational. He only does things that benefit him, but not in a short-sighted way. He's clearly playing the long game. Shikamaru knows that, and likely knows that he's being played, but allows it for now because it benefits Konoha for the time-being while investigating his real motives. Honestly, Amado and his mysteries have made the series much more interesting for me in general.
I think Shikamaru is playing the long game. I think that his fights about boruto with Sarada is to extract information and test his theory. I think he smart enough to know that he needs to be in the Hokage position to convince the village of whatever he finds, hence he needs the power. I think he also knows that he just went running his mouth that he would get people hurt or himself exiled or ignored. He may not havr above average personal intelligence but this is a battle situation still. And when you think about it everyday intelligence when dealing with people of means you putdown hyper intelligence in order to have friends and make allys.
I don't think Shikamaru's intelligence has ever been put to question. Rather this more a question if he's able to or has overcome omnipotence once the wrench was thrown in. We ultimately still don't know why Sarada and Sumire were unaffected, so there are several potential factors at play here. Personally though I do feel like Shikamaru put two and two together. That rather than confront Kawaki or Boruto about it he'll likely spy on them to get more answers first. I doubt Boruto really cares to tell Shikamaru at this point. He would've done that a lot sooner if he really felt that Shikamaru could overcome omnipotence.
Yep, this really isn't matter of intelligence. Even the most genius logical thinker can still be very-close minded and at point that intelligence is massive double-edged sword. It can be used to argue against existing hypothesis just as well it can be used to prove the current belief. Naruto is one of his closest friends, he's angry at his murdered, this is a test if he can overcome his personal bias and have enough open mindset to doubt everything he has ever believed in. If he can't his high-powered brains only serves to disprove everything Sarada, Boruto and Sumire might throw at him.
I feel like Shikimaru is gonna flip the switch on Kawaki. Kawaki is just gonna snap when Shikimaru says "yaaaa were not just getting rid of Boruto anymore." When Kawaki snaps it will panel out to Ino saying "Ive located Naruto." ... and then youll see Shikimaru try to subdue Kawaki and thats when the battle between Kawaki and Boruto begins.
Bro I’ve been subscribed for a while now and love your deep drives breakdowns and content. I know you have to post a certain amount of videos and they have to be a certain length. I just wanted to give you your flowers on being the 🐐 at stretching a video. You have masters the art of repeats, and certain catch phrases on top of your style of delivery that keeps us captivated and making the repeats not even sound the same. Other RUclipsrs should be taking notes!! Keep up the good work Bro.
I often remember Kakashis words, of finding the meaning behind the meaning. Due to Eidas omnipotence, perhaps it’s an act between Sarada and Shikamaru.
Ive always been a fan of Shikamaru. I think he's definitely the type of person who gathers as much intel as he can before he makes a decision. I think Shikamaru has probably been gathering that intelligence for the last three years. He leads a city of people that have memories about Boruto's guilt, so he wouldn't be able to just give Boruto a pass. And making it known that he doesn't believe his own memories could just trigger a fresh new brainwashing, so Shikamaru is gathering intel, and waiting until it's the right time to act
At like 10:20 u said how Amado knew his memories were changed and how shika didn't. But amida literally said something along the lines that a artist leaves behind like certain "tags" that only they would know. So it makes sense why Amado would know and no one else would
The obvious theory is there, why would sasuke go rogue with boruto and kakashi major role was also training boruto. Hence flying thunder god technique along with rasengan variants which is why he never took back up the hokage position. But what kakashi is doing now is more important.
If Shikamaru belives his memories have been altered, because of his intelegency, does that mean his son, Shikadai (Boruto's BFF), also douts his memories? 🤔
At some point during the Time Skip I could see Kakashi, Sakura and Shikamaru tracking down Sasuke and Boruto having a conversation and setting up a plan for Sasuke to watch over Boruto and the others to act as if they don't see the truth. Sakura and Kakashi would assume to still be "tracking" Boruto and Sasuke while leaving the Village to Shikamaru.
Asuma didn’t told Shikamaru in his last words that he is “truly worthy of becoming hokage” for nothing! man is playing shogi in his mind rn and is waiting for the right time or he’s strategizing a better way to make things right.
Shikamaru has tools he can use in this game of Shogi he seems to be playing, back when pain assaulted the Leaf village and Inoichi Yamanaka was searching the rain village Shinobi memories, those memories were being printed off onto a sheet of scroll presumably to be accessed at a later time if need be, Shikamaru could just request that Ino search through Boruto’s memories , and assess what their scroll tells them after, then request that Kawaki also has his memories searched, to which Kawaki will refuse, exposing that there is in fact something that he is hiding, this is a checkmate move
Considering gen jitsu is a major power in Naruto universe and how everyone was put in the eye of the moon false reality then the smart characters should always have the thought or idea in the back of their heads that the reality they are experiencing may not be real and things may not be how they seem.
Both Amado and Shikamaru were shown to have resistance to Eida's omnipotence through her charm affecting them both differently. Sasuke also didn't display the usual infatuation when he saw her. So it's safe to assume that if one of them is doubting their memories, the other two would as well.
@@ge_ka_bu Eida's charm thing is her omnipotence, when exposed to her when she first shows up in the leaf, him and amado feel a strong mental discomfort instead of the usual infatuation that most other characters experience, and he's able to hold her against her will in his shadow for a limited time, while most other people can't even think of doing something against her when near her.
@@LealFireball ,lol,Bug didn't show a hint that he liked her but it was explained that he is "a chicken". Code put a claw mark and even used his claw but couldn't finish his attack. Code without limiters still couldn't hurt her.
@@ge_ka_bu What does have to do with amado and shikamaru though? I'm not saying they can hurt her, we get direct explanation by Amado that it effects them differently because their minds are stronger when Shikamaru asks what's happening, the manga shows what Shikamaru is thinking, he's not putting up a front he's trying to strategize at the moment by analyzing what's happening to himself and he's not attracted to her, he's seeing her as an enemy that he's unable to hurt.
@@LealFireball ,omnipotence works or doesn't. There is no "between". Amado is probably 1.psycho that can doubt his mind 2. Knows about Eida potential(BTW,except Boruto,Sasuke,Amado and Kawaki- no one knows that her real power is omnipotence. Sarada and Sumire understood that it was her but they don't know what's her real power) 3. Has a personal evidence that was created by him and no one can "copy" what he did(photos and documents can be faked by regular person but karma-seal- only he can do). 4. What if Amado actually put himself into "safe" zone and did something to his body/brain that can resists omnipotence?
I agree shikamaru has intelligence for strategy and psychology. Where Amado is book smart. This being said if shikarmaru were to have gone into science or something else he’d excel. Where Amado as a ninja may not have the same likelihood for success because he is book smart
This theory puts an interesting alternative interpretation to Shikamaru's earlier statements to Sarada, that at the rate she's going, she might not even continue being a Kunoichi, let alone Hokage. It's _worded_ that "I'm going to strip your qualifications as a Shinobi if you keep acting out", but the _implication_ would--in accordance to the theory--be "Yes, we _both_ have doubts, but if you don't _shut up_ about them for a bit any _actual_ culprit will realize they missed you, and they'll _kill_ you before you achieve anything with your career; and then _I'll_ lose my only hope of getting Naruto back, and _me_ away from this _stupid_ desk". In effect, he's doing to Sarada what Hiruzen _tried_ to do with Naruto: keep them safe and out of the spotlight until the necessary parties reach the level of power they need to be to deal with the coming danger. The difference, of course, is that Hiruzen's efforts were partially hamstrung by Danzo being Danzo.
Shikamaru and Amado playing chess. For me Shikamaru is playing silent because Shikamaru aware that Eida knows what they doin. Shikamaru is the Smartest shinobi and adviser of 6th and 7th Hokage.
it makes sense if you think about it. you ever argue with someone you know who's "smarter" then you are but you have specific knowledge in one area that they don't have? watch how they act they will delude themselves cuz of ego
So what im hesring is Shikamaru still had doubts and isnfoing to take this conversation as a way to help fuel those doubts. He may then order someone like Ino to remove her chakra sensor from Konoha to search for Naruto. Afrer finding Naruto's chakra signature(probably after a good while)he will realize that he is in fact being misguided and Ino will also have doubt now. They can then bring in Sarada and ask hwr to bring Boruto to them because they believe their memories to have been altered and thats how Boruto will be in the village and able to figut Kawaki.
Yo, Nick…..as you mentioned in this video Kakashi told Sasuke that he would hunt him down if he went rogue again…..by Sasuke going rogue and helping boruto, was has Kakashi been hunting them this whole time?
11:04 Nick something that could trigger Shikimaru’s real memories would be Naruto’s reaction of Boruto’s death I remember in an early video you stated that when a character is shown a picture of Boruto they think he is Kawaki and vise verse
I think Shikamaru does know that his memory has been altered but he doesn’t say anything out loud bc Eida would be able to see that and she is the only one who could have done it, so he can’t admit outright to Sarada that he knows.
I'd add another thing. I work in science and research so I kinda relate to the scene when I read that scene with Amado. For scientists like us, evidence is king, followed by logic. Whenever anyone says something we always think, "Where is this person's proof?" Thus, for Amado, Kawaki's altered body is an evidence of his tinkering. Then if his memory says something else, his memory may be wrong. I relate it to a real-life habit of mine where I'd always list down everything that I spend in my phone. Then there were times I'd be drunk, pass out, and won't remember anything. The next day, I'd see some food and beer on my list even though I don't remember consuming them. However, I'd believe it since I know my habit.
Amado is a scientific genius, I think what he said with make shika think about it and come to that conclusion. However I don’t think he doubted his memories until Amado said it.
Hey nick, I just had a thought you might wanna have a look at. So we know sasuke is currently stuck in a tree but he now has his shinju (potentially genetically similar to him) running around with a different set of eyes than the ones currently in sasukes head. To my understanding that means sasuke technically has 4 eyes in the manga atm and sarada would only need 2 to awaken her EMS. I see this going one of two ways, either sasuke gives up his eyes for sarada and she replaces them with the ones from the shinju (another great parenting move from sasuke) or they take down saskukes shinju and remove the eyes for her to gain her EMS. Either way it could play out really well within the story
It’d be cool if amado gave some ppl a certain sort of reverse technological genjutsu knowings his cyborgs possibly would be released by Code & he’s end up the main character in Boruto doing something like how Light did when. He forgot the death note just to set something up later once he remembered again.
Omnipotence seems to work in a similar way to how a delusional disorder works in teal life. People with delusional disorder start of seing innocuous things or real things and develop a delusional story with these ideas building them up progressively. These people are absolutely unresponsive to logical disputations even when the delusional belief has become fantastical. It’s very hard (next to impossible) therapeutically to treat this disorder. The best way to change these beliefs is trough very small alterations that dont directly contradict the belief but add some beliefs that can be leveraged later to contradict it. Pretty similar to what Amado probably did that slowly by noticing small things until he concluded his memory has been altered. Notice he hasn’t concluded boruto and kawaki switched lives even if the jump seems self evident.
I like that omnipotence memory swipe is just the Naruto Mandela effect and a few people remember alternative truths. They might have conspiracy videos about it on their naruto RUclips channels.
I've got a basic pragmatic point that has been glossed over or just completely missed. Shikamaru would ask a very basic question when he found out Boruto killed Naruto : Where is Naruto's body? If Boruto killed Naruto with Isshiki's power, there would be no reason to hide his body.
Been re reading Naruto manga and in the first 60 chapters. I think it goes very underlooked how shikamaru can control shadows. Shikamaru was nerfed way harder than rock lee by a long shot. Shikamaru could arguably have his own series. Shikamaru vs Hidan was literally the last decisive battle in the entire series. In the beginning every fight almost every move was explained to a science. After the Hidan fight Naruto went full avatar last airbender where they were literally just throwing elements at each other. It’s weird how in the beginning the running gag was that Naruto wasnt cooler than than the supporting characters. There’s a panel during the chunin exams where choji breaks the 4th wall and comments how naruto couldn’t even be the main character of his own comic. Shikamaru got nerfed because he was way too cool, arguably cooler than sauske
How was Shikamaru nerfed exactly??? Nothing you say mentions a way he portrayed as weaker, even in the Chunin Exams there's PLENTY of characters who'd beat him. He isn't that strong, Sasuke, Neji, Rock Lee, Gaara, Shino, and debatably Kankuro would've won in a fight against him. Not to mention Shikamaru in Shippuden wouldn't fair that well against Zabuza much less anyone else with relevant strength at that point like Sasori or Deidara. He beat Hidan yeah but after DAYS of planning and setting up, if they just randomly met each other he would die
First, great weakness and interesting plot point. I believe the Boruto manga is going in a great direction with this. Second, regarding the weakness. The alteration only persists within memory and if these altered memories contain information associated with a physical feature(unchangeable by Eida) then they can be used to recognize discrepancies in thought according to the nature of such and what's conceived. Other people mentioned and commented that this isn't a feat of intelligence by Amado due to Amado's deep connection to these items which supports the idea that this can be utilized to incite an upheaval to the advantage of team Boruto. I agree that this forebodes a variety of possible fun and entertaining solutions to this conflict, but the "not an intelligence feat" part I don't. Memories constitute our behavior in response to elements within our environment and how we gauge/interact with them. We're inclined to what we're acquainted with. So, despite the favorable circumstances Amado did impressively overcome an engrained inclination to a certain view to recognize such an inconsistency. Maybe not comparable to Shikimaru's performance in his circumstances, but still impressive.
He may have figured it out already but he doesn't know how to rescue Naruto. There's also the fact that Kawaki is extremely powerful and he has Eida and Damien backing him up. So even if Sarada or some other circumstance convinced him it would be wiser to feign ignorance until he had a plan to rescue Naruto.
Shikamaru instantly unlocks intense thinking just when something non-logical happens! Example : He's living a new life as a Hokage and doing his Hokage thing and Amado was the last Domino! When Amado realizes that his memory has been modified. The Domino started to fall the other, etc. That's why Shikamaru realizes the same thing right after! All this time before he doubting about it, but never having enough evidence to convince himself that his mind had been corrupted! When Amado realized the same problem. Shikamaru had noticed it too but something was missing to convince him that he wasn't crazy. Amado was the proof he needed. Another person who lives in the same identical situation then him. because either they are both crazy or both are 100% right.
I’m going to take an Occam’s Razor with why Shikimaru didn’t realize his memories were altered. He didn’t think about it. Intelligence means nothing if you don’t spend the time to make the logical connections to realize the conclusion. It’s on the same level of being the best builder ever. It doesn’t matter how well you can build a house, if you never build a house.
intelligence isnt like a set stat that guides everything like in DND it's like you have different levels of intelligence at many different things. Shikamaru's intelligence (aka what a "high iq" means) is at problem solving in HS I never opened a math book and the only reason I didn't get 10/10 grades was like, errors in attention while executing because I was constantly sleep deprived. Math is purely problem solving. My friend on the other hand I had to spend hours and hours helping for him to understand the same problems I could solve by eye yet while I was learning guitar and could barely follow, he'd hear something and be able to play it extremely well if not perfectly. Even nowadays I cant do that
Technically another logical choice for Hokage would be Kakashi but we ALL KNOW he has zero interest or desire to. Kakashi is to laid back and given he already did it definitely doesn’t want to go back. Hence why we got shikamaru
If u think abt it shikamaru being the most intelligent person among the 5 great nations and possibly the entire world must have given a thought to what sarada has been yapping about for the past three or so years... Because his battle IQ is so high we can speculate that he is like the professor from money heist nd he carefully analyses every possible outcome ... I can never believe that someone as smart as him would never think twice about his memories when he lives it a world where everything is possible.. quite literally...
I wanna say something else. But ur like always right. Lol.. and now its just a lets see how much you get correct in the next release lol. Sucks how long we gotta wait now. But its all good. Cant wait to see what comes from these recent reveals
Yeah, I've always thought he had more strategic intelligence than book smarts or even general intelligence. It's definitely increased with his 2 new job positions though
What if Sarada took the eyes from the Sasuke divine tree? Would she be able to get in eternal MS? Would she get something entirely new? Would this be an opportunity to not have to kill off Sasuke and still meet the requirements for her to unlock a new eye?
I think shikamaru knew from day one but played along until he had prof and he obviously couldn’t trust a teenager to know he knew so he just told sadara she was crazy basically to not draw attention that he knew if he just came out and sided with sarada he would have been stripped from hokage and would have less power to actually solve the puzzle
I'm pretty sure shikamaru knew his memories were altered and just ran with it, but kept it low profile. Being as smart as he is, I assume that he had naturos house closed off as a crime scene and investigated the home, finding it weird how there was minimal damage to the home, no bodies to find, no blood or DNA of any sort, but found pictures of Boruto with Naruto, even the one where Naruto is holding a new born Boruto.
I bet the plan goes further than this. I bet Boruto for the passed year has been acting like Sasuke for Shikamaru. They probably have been working together for a while and he didn't want to tell anyone about it.
I think Rock Lee is stronger than Shikamaru, as well. He would ve been a great hokage. He is everything Naruto, as a series, is about. He was born with nothing and he achived everything.
Shikamaru master plan was to remove Naruto and Sasuke so the rest of the adults can get screentime. XD
lmaooo
As a Rock Lee fan I would be very appreciative if that actually was Shikamaru’s plan.

Seriously though, I think it's a shame that taijutsu has made such a big comeback yet Rock Lee is nowhere to be found 😖
😂
😂😂😂😂 there's hope for ten ten yet
Amado didn't just pull off a "feat of intelligence".
He is greatly intelligent, but he came to the realization because he had intimate knowledge with a very specific element. That being Kawaki's markings.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Exactly if shika n him switched positions shika would know too
amado is the last boss he can give all Shibai power to anyone I think he gives himself all Shibai power or Shibai karma he is intelligent but he really wants his daughter back soo he do it himself but Shibai resurrect . or his daughter is a lie and he have shibari karma already and he intension something else or chakra fruit we must wait and see what happened in end
Yes but think this way: you are shikamaru, naruto dies in hands of boruto - his adopted son and you feel strange about it for some time. Then sarada, person who should hate boruto because he killed her idol naruto is saying that boruto is innocent every day. Then one of the smartest person on earth makes a valid argument that his memories have been altered.
Having iq over 200 would certainly make you understan something. My theory is that shikamaru knows this, maybe for some time already, but if he tells someone kawaki, eida and daemon will probably kill or capture him so he keeps his mouth shut about it until he gets a chance.
@@Deme10-p9x in the desk of narouto in the Hokage office naruto has a picture off his family I think Shikamaru ween become Hokage saw that picture and hid it he knows his memory changed but he start play with other
Intelligence is not what out right leads Amado to assume his memories have been altered. Amado recognizing his own work and that his current memories don’t have a HOW kawaki has had work done to him. So it’s only logical to conclude his memories have been altered because he is the only one capable of doing the work he did. Hence why he recognized it.
Shikamaru and Amado concluding their memories have been altered would be due to different circumstances.
Shikamaru would have to do detective work and use his intelligence
Amado just has to recognize his work which would lead to him thinking something is off
He has surveillance on amado’s lab so chikamaru knows that to now
Shikamaru*
@@murdafrmda4565 sure yah but you get my base point tho. Both are smart. Both for different reasons. Allowing them to come to similar conclusions just by different means.
Amado is book smart. With Science and Math. Experimenting through creation and trial/ error. Giving him his smarts.
Shikamaru is lazy partially because of having such a high IQ. But his intelligence is more of a kind of strategy, psychology and common sense. Albeit if he applied himself I’m sure he could be just as smart as Amado.
Orchimaru would be a good example of someone who is both Intellectually smart with battle tactics and strategy. While also being my able to apply that to his Science. He’d be kinda like the middle ground. Not quite as science smart as Amado and not quite the genius in battle compared to shikamaru.
@@murdafrmda4565thing is shouldn't Amado be smart to realize there's a potential chance he's being bugged
If danzo didnt kill ichihas itchi nd shisui wouldve dealt with this
I had been speculating for a couple chapters that shikamaru already knew about the memory change. I find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t have given any credence to what Sarada was telling him when he was aware they were immune to the effects of eida, so if she came to him it’s likely he would think about it and maybe he pretended not to know because Eida would know and there isn’t anyone in the village who could directly beat kawaki
15:10 - How is Konohamaru too young?! He's currently older than Minato. He was 12 at the end of Shippuden, *an unknown time passes,* Boruto is born, now Boruto is 16. That means he is well over 28. Minato was Hokage at 24. Gaara became Kazekage at an even younger age.
Gaara's age is irrelevant. Different village, different standards. But I still think you do have a point. It's not really the age as much as it is the experience it tends to bring. Minato was chosen because he was already skilled enough to fend off entire armies and prodigy of almost unseen magnitude. Konohamaru's issue is that he simply lacks feats due to living his teen and adult years in era of peace. In eyes of everyone older than him he's simply too inexperienced comapred to pretty much anyone important in 4th war.
May the new year bring you even more success
Nah stay humble. Jk he ain’t humble lol
Shikamaru is a character in a Shonin anime; his intelligence looks tactical rather than practical because of his circumstances. His political genius was not applicable when he was a Genin or Chunin but now as a Hokage we should see more of it.
Haven’t watched the video, but I’m gonna guess that the theory is:
Shikamaru actually realized his memories were altered because he’s very smart, and is just pretending so he can find out what happened and find a way to fix it without getting killed by Kawaki.

👨🎓
Thankyou for saving me 25mins of yapping
More or less.
Nick would rather die and decompose than be succinct. 😅
Called it
Remember Omnipotence simply switched Kawaki and Boruto in people's minds. Naruto's death is only presumed because Eida lied once, no supernatural power involved. I'm sure Shikamaru has known about the switch the whole time for the same reason Sumire deduced it in 79, he just needs to hide that to protect the girls' secret from Eida. Amado this chapter might have just given him license to act on what he's already known.
This 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shikamaru explicitly told Sumire and Sarada (back when Eida first came to the village) that they needed to maintain their position over Eida and they have an advantage over her. If he had doubts before, they are definitely confirmed with what Amado said. Def hope Shikamaru has a moment in the next chapter, let us know what that smarty is thinking.
Exactly. They only believe that because they have no reason to doubt Hokage's son and the person who's walking universal security camera. If evidence is presented pointing to the contrary, there's no reason why anyone wouldn't be able to doubt the validity of the things they said. It would actually be quite hilarious if the next plot twist ended up being that while they still believe that Kawaki is Boruto, they also believe that since he and Eida lied about Naruto's fate they're now probably responsible for making him disappear. So in a way, Boruto still ends being the outcast, just not the real Boruto. Let's also not forget that everyone still remembers how Boruto cheated in Chuunin exams and how Naruto humiliated him. Or that he's still otsutsukified. There's plenty of reasonable explanations for why Boruto would turn against his dad. And he's been acting weirdly since then, characters like Mitsuki and Hiwamari and probably plenty of others must have noticed that. Maybe that's because of the guilt for what he did or because of he's not himself anymore.
But honestly, I'd rather see Boruto and Sarada receiving that easy way to turn the tables. Boruto, the main character becoming total outcast was cool twist. I don't want Kishimoto to immediately start backtracking and undoing it without Boruto and Sarada earning that. I guess best way would to compromise would be that they do a bit of detective work and figure out what Kawaki did and reveal the truth about Naruto for the world.
Protect girl's secret? Eida already knows that they know the truth. Did you skipped that in manga?
@@ge_ka_bu secret from daemon*
@@ge_ka_bu you're mistaken, Eida still believes the girls are subject to her charm. Shikamaru needs to keep that secret because he knows he'll need to count on them to eliminate Eida if she turns on the Leaf. Also, we now know he has figured out the switch in the past and just doesn't remember because Omnipotence has continued to smooth over people's memories long after activation.
Here's something to consider when it comes to Narutos chakra signature. Granted, this was Naruto, not Boruto, but it was stated by Tsunade in the war that all Hokage's since Minato have a Hiraishin mark placed on them by the Hokage's guards. That means Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, and probably Shikamaru should have such marks on them. Those guards are still around, and even though it took 3 of them, it shows that several Jonin working together should be able to pull off Hiriashin to get to a Hokage. Since Boruto was shown to travel between dimensions using the same skill, it's likely Konoha could reach Naruto assuming the continuity isn't changed.
It'd take a _metric butt-tonne_ of Chakra to pull it off, but the theory is sound.
I think the factor of having to literally travel through dimensions to reach naruto with that would be a great add in to the story.
Even if they could, they would be going into a timeless dimension, so the second they entered it, they would be frozen in time and unable to do anything while in there. If there were able to pull Naruto out without having to enter, they'd be fine.
@@0errab0 I think time doesn't pass, but others in it aren't just naturally frozen. Kawaki was able to move in it, and speak to Naruto while he was in there.
@@phonyalias7574yes but he's the caster
I saw it in a comment on one of your videos and I think it was a very on point observation: Kawaki, Eida and Daemon are all forces within Konoha that are completely unchecked. Therefore it is safe to assume that even if Shikamaru has figured out that Boruto is innocent relatively early, he would keep that to himself and lay low, in order to prevent the three nuclear bombs he has under his care from going off. Until he has the means to covertly do something about these threats, he essentially has to play along and wait for an opportunity.
Which might be coming soon, seeing how Boruto is now back and in the open.
Also, it's worth pointing out that he knows Sarada is immune to Eida's charm, which gives him grounds to suspect Eida might have done something to all of them except Sarada (and Sumire). He also knows that Amado has installed a shutdown mechanism into Kawaki... which Kawaki does not.
Edit: according to rewritten memories, Shikamaru should also think that Eida has hots for Boruto... but knowing Eida, she kept demonstrating that to be incorrect and Shikamaru kept working with her for intel in spite of her supposed allegiance with the enemy of the Village. All the more evidence for him knowing something is up.
I agree, but I also think you're underestimating Amado. I think he has to know that he's being monitored, or at the very least suspects that Sumire will rely their conversation to Shikamaru. The question is why is Amado revealing this now?
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Shikamaru knew or at least suspected this for awhile. Because, remember, he specifically told Sumire & Sarada that they were basically their only defense against Eida. Meaning, even if it was going against his own instincts, he'd still have to give more credence to what they were saying/doing. But he couldn't actively side with them & Boruto because of the possibility that Eida would find out & tell Kawaki
And I think shikamaru's contemplative silence at the end of the chapter was partly because of this and also because he's wondering why Amado is revealing all of this now, even though he most likely knows he's being surveilled (either by cameras/mics or through Sumire)
Basically I think we're seeing two Master level schemers/strategizers trying to out do each other without letting the other one know too much, while also knowing the other one most definitely knows that they know... that they know. I confused myself by the end there, but I think you can get what im trying to say 😅
And now I'm getting flashbacks of the poison scene from 'The Princess Bride', lol, "Inconceivable!"
This what i thought of
Indeed but how did sumire deduce that her memories have been altered again?
Exactly, if I were in Amado's position, I'd be more surprised if I were NOT monitored in some way than if I were, especially with someone as Shikamaru as the hokage. The right question, as you said, is why now? I'd say that has to do with the attack on Konoha. If I'm going with the assumption that he's heard Boruto was spotted in Konoha confronting Code and easily incapaciting him, then he needs a way to make it possible for Boruto to stay without being attacked by the whole village. One, because he needs to confirm who actually has the mark he needs to revive his daughter (he knows his memory was tempered with, but not in which way, which can be crucial in determining how to proceed next). Two, because Boruto has most likely information on the claw grimes that they all need to survive. Three, having Boruto around significantly raises their odds for survival, again.
The only one who has such political power is Shikamaru, obviously, but even he will need proof to publicly exonerate Boruto. So giving him tangible evidence for them having their memory tempered will help them all.
@@drawingspider7798 ya I was going to get into some of the possibilities but my post was already pretty long, but I think you're pretty spot on. I'm just worried about what he's not saying, like is this all just going according to his plan or is he just trying to figure it out like everyone else
Probably somewhere in between, but whatever the case, I still think he's one of if not the most dangerous person the Leaf needs to worry about. And I think it would be really cool to see him & Shikamaru in a battle of wits for the rest of this arc, I really hope they play that up
@@jsull81 I agree, though I suspect they both are already engaged in that battle of wits. I enjoy Amado as a character quite a bit, he's quite the engaging, morally (dark) grey character. We know he doesn't mind experimenting on children, and doesn't hesitate in manipulating and sacrificing others, will absolutely betray you if necessary with every good rational. He only does things that benefit him, but not in a short-sighted way. He's clearly playing the long game. Shikamaru knows that, and likely knows that he's being played, but allows it for now because it benefits Konoha for the time-being while investigating his real motives. Honestly, Amado and his mysteries have made the series much more interesting for me in general.
I think Shikamaru is playing the long game. I think that his fights about boruto with Sarada is to extract information and test his theory. I think he smart enough to know that he needs to be in the Hokage position to convince the village of whatever he finds, hence he needs the power. I think he also knows that he just went running his mouth that he would get people hurt or himself exiled or ignored. He may not havr above average personal intelligence but this is a battle situation still. And when you think about it everyday intelligence when dealing with people of means you putdown hyper intelligence in order to have friends and make allys.
I don't think Shikamaru's intelligence has ever been put to question. Rather this more a question if he's able to or has overcome omnipotence once the wrench was thrown in. We ultimately still don't know why Sarada and Sumire were unaffected, so there are several potential factors at play here.
Personally though I do feel like Shikamaru put two and two together. That rather than confront Kawaki or Boruto about it he'll likely spy on them to get more answers first. I doubt Boruto really cares to tell Shikamaru at this point. He would've done that a lot sooner if he really felt that Shikamaru could overcome omnipotence.
Yep, this really isn't matter of intelligence. Even the most genius logical thinker can still be very-close minded and at point that intelligence is massive double-edged sword. It can be used to argue against existing hypothesis just as well it can be used to prove the current belief. Naruto is one of his closest friends, he's angry at his murdered, this is a test if he can overcome his personal bias and have enough open mindset to doubt everything he has ever believed in. If he can't his high-powered brains only serves to disprove everything Sarada, Boruto and Sumire might throw at him.
I feel like Shikimaru is gonna flip the switch on Kawaki. Kawaki is just gonna snap when Shikimaru says "yaaaa were not just getting rid of Boruto anymore."
When Kawaki snaps it will panel out to Ino saying "Ive located Naruto." ... and then youll see Shikimaru try to subdue Kawaki and thats when the battle between Kawaki and Boruto begins.
Bro I’ve been subscribed for a while now and love your deep drives breakdowns and content. I know you have to post a certain amount of videos and they have to be a certain length. I just wanted to give you your flowers on being the 🐐 at stretching a video. You have masters the art of repeats, and certain catch phrases on top of your style of delivery that keeps us captivated and making the repeats not even sound the same. Other RUclipsrs should be taking notes!! Keep up the good work Bro.
I often remember Kakashis words, of finding the meaning behind the meaning. Due to Eidas omnipotence, perhaps it’s an act between Sarada and Shikamaru.
Ive always been a fan of Shikamaru. I think he's definitely the type of person who gathers as much intel as he can before he makes a decision. I think Shikamaru has probably been gathering that intelligence for the last three years. He leads a city of people that have memories about Boruto's guilt, so he wouldn't be able to just give Boruto a pass. And making it known that he doesn't believe his own memories could just trigger a fresh new brainwashing, so Shikamaru is gathering intel, and waiting until it's the right time to act
Thank you Nick! Happy New Year 🎉
At like 10:20 u said how Amado knew his memories were changed and how shika didn't. But amida literally said something along the lines that a artist leaves behind like certain "tags" that only they would know. So it makes sense why Amado would know and no one else would
Yuh!! Dominic and the crew at it again 🎉
The obvious theory is there, why would sasuke go rogue with boruto and kakashi major role was also training boruto. Hence flying thunder god technique along with rasengan variants which is why he never took back up the hokage position. But what kakashi is doing now is more important.
As interm Hokage, Shikamaru is fufiling a role similar to his father, Shikaku, after the death of Hiruzen and before Tsunade arrivel.
If Shikamaru belives his memories have been altered, because of his intelegency, does that mean his son, Shikadai (Boruto's BFF), also douts his memories? 🤔
At some point during the Time Skip I could see Kakashi, Sakura and Shikamaru tracking down Sasuke and Boruto having a conversation and setting up a plan for Sasuke to watch over Boruto and the others to act as if they don't see the truth. Sakura and Kakashi would assume to still be "tracking" Boruto and Sasuke while leaving the Village to Shikamaru.
That would be cool
Kishimoto needs to subscribe to this channel
Asuma didn’t told Shikamaru in his last words that he is “truly worthy of becoming hokage” for nothing! man is playing shogi in his mind rn and is waiting for the right time or he’s strategizing a better way to make things right.
Thanks for a year worth of so much fun and intrique. I look forward to more in 2024. Happy New Year!
video starts at 6:12
Happy new year Lads and laddie. It's being 2 yrs since I started following this guy
Finally someone brings up Kabuto.
I'm surprised Shikamaru didn't try contacting Orochimaru and asking him to use the edo tensei on Naruto and learning that he's not dead.
Lol, right??
@@Nach_Sanchezthe manga would have to acknowledge that Orochimaru exists. 😩
@@RoseMultiverse Wait, what? I don't watch/read Boruto so I'm not really up to date with everything. What happened to Orochimaru?
@@SiresOrbwits-oi8mzjust not mentioned iirc. A lot of stuff is anime only, like denki, iwabe etc don’t exist in the manga
@@ifromtrinidad1696 Main thing that turned me off of the series, honestly.
Shikamaru has tools he can use in this game of Shogi he seems to be playing, back when pain assaulted the Leaf village and Inoichi Yamanaka was searching the rain village Shinobi memories, those memories were being printed off onto a sheet of scroll presumably to be accessed at a later time if need be, Shikamaru could just request that Ino search through Boruto’s memories , and assess what their scroll tells them after, then request that Kawaki also has his memories searched, to which Kawaki will refuse, exposing that there is in fact something that he is hiding, this is a checkmate move
I love it. Shikamaru is essentially playing a game of Shogi !
Considering gen jitsu is a major power in Naruto universe and how everyone was put in the eye of the moon false reality then the smart characters should always have the thought or idea in the back of their heads that the reality they are experiencing may not be real and things may not be how they seem.
Both Amado and Shikamaru were shown to have resistance to Eida's omnipotence through her charm affecting them both differently. Sasuke also didn't display the usual infatuation when he saw her.
So it's safe to assume that if one of them is doubting their memories, the other two would as well.
How the hell Shikamaru showed that he has resistance to Eida's omnipotence?
@@ge_ka_bu Eida's charm thing is her omnipotence, when exposed to her when she first shows up in the leaf, him and amado feel a strong mental discomfort instead of the usual infatuation that most other characters experience, and he's able to hold her against her will in his shadow for a limited time, while most other people can't even think of doing something against her when near her.
@@LealFireball ,lol,Bug didn't show a hint that he liked her but it was explained that he is "a chicken".
Code put a claw mark and even used his claw but couldn't finish his attack. Code without limiters still couldn't hurt her.
@@ge_ka_bu What does have to do with amado and shikamaru though?
I'm not saying they can hurt her, we get direct explanation by Amado that it effects them differently because their minds are stronger when Shikamaru asks what's happening, the manga shows what Shikamaru is thinking, he's not putting up a front he's trying to strategize at the moment by analyzing what's happening to himself and he's not attracted to her, he's seeing her as an enemy that he's unable to hurt.
@@LealFireball ,omnipotence works or doesn't. There is no "between". Amado is probably
1.psycho that can doubt his mind
2. Knows about Eida potential(BTW,except Boruto,Sasuke,Amado and Kawaki- no one knows that her real power is omnipotence. Sarada and Sumire understood that it was her but they don't know what's her real power)
3. Has a personal evidence that was created by him and no one can "copy" what he did(photos and documents can be faked by regular person but karma-seal- only he can do).
4. What if Amado actually put himself into "safe" zone and did something to his body/brain that can resists omnipotence?
I agree shikamaru has intelligence for strategy and psychology. Where Amado is book smart. This being said if shikarmaru were to have gone into science or something else he’d excel. Where Amado as a ninja may not have the same likelihood for success because he is book smart
Only memories have been altered right? So all you'd actually need to do to prove memories were changed is do a ancestry test right?
Wouldn't work anymore... both Kawaki _and_ Boruto are at least _partly_ Otsutsified; Boruto is _completely_ Otsutsuki now.
Awesome as always thanks
I wonder if Orochimaru was affected by omnipotence or not? And if he was affected, if he douts his memories? 🤔
This theory puts an interesting alternative interpretation to Shikamaru's earlier statements to Sarada, that at the rate she's going, she might not even continue being a Kunoichi, let alone Hokage.
It's _worded_ that "I'm going to strip your qualifications as a Shinobi if you keep acting out", but the _implication_ would--in accordance to the theory--be "Yes, we _both_ have doubts, but if you don't _shut up_ about them for a bit any _actual_ culprit will realize they missed you, and they'll _kill_ you before you achieve anything with your career; and then _I'll_ lose my only hope of getting Naruto back, and _me_ away from this _stupid_ desk".
In effect, he's doing to Sarada what Hiruzen _tried_ to do with Naruto: keep them safe and out of the spotlight until the necessary parties reach the level of power they need to be to deal with the coming danger. The difference, of course, is that Hiruzen's efforts were partially hamstrung by Danzo being Danzo.
I feel as if Shikamaru’s reign will be like danzo’s where he will be hokage for a while but won’t get a stone face or be the official 8th Hokage
Feliz ano novo, meu mano
Your lil throw-in jokes always gets me
Love your content!!!
Shikamaru and Amado playing chess. For me Shikamaru is playing silent because Shikamaru aware that Eida knows what they doin. Shikamaru is the Smartest shinobi and adviser of 6th and 7th Hokage.
it makes sense if you think about it. you ever argue with someone you know who's "smarter" then you are but you have specific knowledge in one area that they don't have? watch how they act they will delude themselves cuz of ego
I agree. It's like believing the earth is round when the truth is.. it's flat. We wre all been affected by eida's dojutsu.
So what im hesring is Shikamaru still had doubts and isnfoing to take this conversation as a way to help fuel those doubts. He may then order someone like Ino to remove her chakra sensor from Konoha to search for Naruto. Afrer finding Naruto's chakra signature(probably after a good while)he will realize that he is in fact being misguided and Ino will also have doubt now. They can then bring in Sarada and ask hwr to bring Boruto to them because they believe their memories to have been altered and thats how Boruto will be in the village and able to figut Kawaki.
Funniest thing about all this is that in retrospect someone could just ask Sakura to run a blood test.
Yo, Nick…..as you mentioned in this video Kakashi told Sasuke that he would hunt him down if he went rogue again…..by Sasuke going rogue and helping boruto, was has Kakashi been hunting them this whole time?
Kishimoto did say Kakashi has a huge pivotal plot in part two so maybe that could be part of it!
11:04 Nick something that could trigger Shikimaru’s real memories would be Naruto’s reaction of Boruto’s death
I remember in an early video you stated that when a character is shown a picture of Boruto they think he is Kawaki and vise verse
I think Shikamaru does know that his memory has been altered but he doesn’t say anything out loud bc Eida would be able to see that and she is the only one who could have done it, so he can’t admit outright to Sarada that he knows.
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! May God bless all of you!
I'd add another thing. I work in science and research so I kinda relate to the scene when I read that scene with Amado.
For scientists like us, evidence is king, followed by logic. Whenever anyone says something we always think, "Where is this person's proof?" Thus, for Amado, Kawaki's altered body is an evidence of his tinkering. Then if his memory says something else, his memory may be wrong.
I relate it to a real-life habit of mine where I'd always list down everything that I spend in my phone. Then there were times I'd be drunk, pass out, and won't remember anything. The next day, I'd see some food and beer on my list even though I don't remember consuming them. However, I'd believe it since I know my habit.
Addicted to Nick’s content like Sauske addiction to using his cursed mark
17:52 pain destroyed the village and the 5tg was on her death bed when they started to make danzo's face
I'm still waiting to see Code getting his limiters released to be animated. Im getting impatient
Right and I still wanna see eida vs delta, their brief encounter
Amado is a scientific genius, I think what he said with make shika think about it and come to that conclusion. However I don’t think he doubted his memories until Amado said it.
Happy new year man! 😊
Hey nick, I just had a thought you might wanna have a look at. So we know sasuke is currently stuck in a tree but he now has his shinju (potentially genetically similar to him) running around with a different set of eyes than the ones currently in sasukes head. To my understanding that means sasuke technically has 4 eyes in the manga atm and sarada would only need 2 to awaken her EMS. I see this going one of two ways, either sasuke gives up his eyes for sarada and she replaces them with the ones from the shinju (another great parenting move from sasuke) or they take down saskukes shinju and remove the eyes for her to gain her EMS. Either way it could play out really well within the story
It’d be cool if amado gave some ppl a certain sort of reverse technological genjutsu knowings his cyborgs possibly would be released by Code & he’s end up the main character in Boruto doing something like how Light did when. He forgot the death note just to set something up later once he remembered again.
Keep up the awesome work and videos Nick love the video
Nice vid bro
Omnipotence seems to work in a similar way to how a delusional disorder works in teal life. People with delusional disorder start of seing innocuous things or real things and develop a delusional story with these ideas building them up progressively. These people are absolutely unresponsive to logical disputations even when the delusional belief has become fantastical. It’s very hard (next to impossible) therapeutically to treat this disorder. The best way to change these beliefs is trough very small alterations that dont directly contradict the belief but add some beliefs that can be leveraged later to contradict it. Pretty similar to what Amado probably did that slowly by noticing small things until he concluded his memory has been altered. Notice he hasn’t concluded boruto and kawaki switched lives even if the jump seems self evident.
Next, could you do a video ranking the best parents in Naruto/Boruto, from worst to best? 🤔
Happy new year bunch of weebs!
Let's hope this new year comes with some decent chapters for our fav mangas.
Stone Face Maker : Lord 8th, lets us make your stone face.
Shkamaru : Nah, it would be such a drag. 🥴
“Just in time for Christmas” 😂😂
I like that omnipotence memory swipe is just the Naruto Mandela effect and a few people remember alternative truths. They might have conspiracy videos about it on their naruto RUclips channels.
Shikamaru feels more like a "temporary" Hokage like Danzo was.
Anyone who watched the first ep would know that
I've got a basic pragmatic point that has been glossed over or just completely missed. Shikamaru would ask a very basic question when he found out Boruto killed Naruto : Where is Naruto's body?
If Boruto killed Naruto with Isshiki's power, there would be no reason to hide his body.
amado for sure knows he's being surveilled. he's not an overly trusting idiot
Happy new years Nick
Been re reading Naruto manga and in the first 60 chapters. I think it goes very underlooked how shikamaru can control shadows. Shikamaru was nerfed way harder than rock lee by a long shot. Shikamaru could arguably have his own series. Shikamaru vs Hidan was literally the last decisive battle in the entire series. In the beginning every fight almost every move was explained to a science. After the Hidan fight Naruto went full avatar last airbender where they were literally just throwing elements at each other. It’s weird how in the beginning the running gag was that Naruto wasnt cooler than than the supporting characters. There’s a panel during the chunin exams where choji breaks the 4th wall and comments how naruto couldn’t even be the main character of his own comic. Shikamaru got nerfed because he was way too cool, arguably cooler than sauske
How was Shikamaru nerfed exactly??? Nothing you say mentions a way he portrayed as weaker, even in the Chunin Exams there's PLENTY of characters who'd beat him. He isn't that strong, Sasuke, Neji, Rock Lee, Gaara, Shino, and debatably Kankuro would've won in a fight against him. Not to mention Shikamaru in Shippuden wouldn't fair that well against Zabuza much less anyone else with relevant strength at that point like Sasori or Deidara. He beat Hidan yeah but after DAYS of planning and setting up, if they just randomly met each other he would die
@@abdulkarimogaji facts I stand corrected. Not a coincidence that after the dopest character (deidara) dies the show goes downhill lmao
I'll say it again lol 😂 I love when u do the ghetto girl slaps ik ur getting serious love what u do brother just keep doin u

Sakura should’ve been the one to turn into a tree
First, great weakness and interesting plot point. I believe the Boruto manga is going in a great direction with this. Second, regarding the weakness. The alteration only persists within memory and if these altered memories contain information associated with a physical feature(unchangeable by Eida) then they can be used to recognize discrepancies in thought according to the nature of such and what's conceived. Other people mentioned and commented that this isn't a feat of intelligence by Amado due to Amado's deep connection to these items which supports the idea that this can be utilized to incite an upheaval to the advantage of team Boruto. I agree that this forebodes a variety of possible fun and entertaining solutions to this conflict, but the "not an intelligence feat" part I don't. Memories constitute our behavior in response to elements within our environment and how we gauge/interact with them. We're inclined to what we're acquainted with. So, despite the favorable circumstances Amado did impressively overcome an engrained inclination to a certain view to recognize such an inconsistency. Maybe not comparable to Shikimaru's performance in his circumstances, but still impressive.
He may have figured it out already but he doesn't know how to rescue Naruto. There's also the fact that Kawaki is extremely powerful and he has Eida and Damien backing him up. So even if Sarada or some other circumstance convinced him it would be wiser to feign ignorance until he had a plan to rescue Naruto.
Best take yet. Huge W.
19 minute video and almost half that time are adds this is a new level. 😂
Shikamaru instantly unlocks intense thinking just when something non-logical happens!
Example :
He's living a new life as a Hokage and doing his Hokage thing and Amado was the last Domino!
When Amado realizes that his memory has been modified. The Domino started to fall the other, etc.
That's why Shikamaru realizes the same thing right after!
All this time before he doubting about it, but never having enough evidence to convince himself that his mind had been corrupted!
When Amado realized the same problem. Shikamaru had noticed it too but something was missing to convince him that he wasn't crazy. Amado was the proof he needed. Another person who lives in the same identical situation then him.
because either they are both crazy or both are 100% right.
I’m going to take an Occam’s Razor with why Shikimaru didn’t realize his memories were altered.
He didn’t think about it.
Intelligence means nothing if you don’t spend the time to make the logical connections to realize the conclusion.
It’s on the same level of being the best builder ever. It doesn’t matter how well you can build a house, if you never build a house.
intelligence isnt like a set stat that guides everything like in DND
it's like you have different levels of intelligence at many different things. Shikamaru's intelligence (aka what a "high iq" means) is at problem solving
in HS I never opened a math book and the only reason I didn't get 10/10 grades was like, errors in attention while executing because I was constantly sleep deprived. Math is purely problem solving. My friend on the other hand I had to spend hours and hours helping for him to understand the same problems I could solve by eye
yet while I was learning guitar and could barely follow, he'd hear something and be able to play it extremely well if not perfectly. Even nowadays I cant do that
You should do a video about What if Kakashi used his MS in the Konoha Crush Arc for example his fights with Kabuto
Technically another logical choice for Hokage would be Kakashi but we ALL KNOW he has zero interest or desire to. Kakashi is to laid back and given he already did it definitely doesn’t want to go back. Hence why we got shikamaru
If u think abt it shikamaru being the most intelligent person among the 5 great nations and possibly the entire world must have given a thought to what sarada has been yapping about for the past three or so years... Because his battle IQ is so high we can speculate that he is like the professor from money heist nd he carefully analyses every possible outcome ...
I can never believe that someone as smart as him would never think twice about his memories when he lives it a world where everything is possible.. quite literally...
I wanna say something else. But ur like always right. Lol.. and now its just a lets see how much you get correct in the next release lol. Sucks how long we gotta wait now. But its all good. Cant wait to see what comes from these recent reveals
Watching this while i eat at the NYE party at the crib is great 😂
Yeah, I've always thought he had more strategic intelligence than book smarts or even general intelligence.
It's definitely increased with his 2 new job positions though
What if Sarada took the eyes from the Sasuke divine tree? Would she be able to get in eternal MS? Would she get something entirely new? Would this be an opportunity to not have to kill off Sasuke and still meet the requirements for her to unlock a new eye?
I think shikamaru knew from day one but played along until he had prof and he obviously couldn’t trust a teenager to know he knew so he just told sadara she was crazy basically to not draw attention that he knew if he just came out and sided with sarada he would have been stripped from hokage and would have less power to actually solve the puzzle
Im excited at the thought of Kakashi fighting Sasuke's claw grime🤩
I'm pretty sure shikamaru knew his memories were altered and just ran with it, but kept it low profile. Being as smart as he is, I assume that he had naturos house closed off as a crime scene and investigated the home, finding it weird how there was minimal damage to the home, no bodies to find, no blood or DNA of any sort, but found pictures of Boruto with Naruto, even the one where Naruto is holding a new born Boruto.
i think Shikamaru's know something isn't right but doesnt have enough info yet. so he being cautious also happy new year
I bet the plan goes further than this. I bet Boruto for the passed year has been acting like Sasuke for Shikamaru. They probably have been working together for a while and he didn't want to tell anyone about it.
Happy New Year To all
I think Rock Lee is stronger than Shikamaru, as well. He would ve been a great hokage. He is everything Naruto, as a series, is about. He was born with nothing and he achived everything.
