Did Boruto manga drop the ball with Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan awakening?

Boruto has picked up its pace rapidly and the latest chapter 80 has turned the entire course of events. We have seen Eida rewrite the entire history and interchange Boruto and Kawaki’s life. Now Boruto is the most wanted man in Konoha while Kawaki is the son of Naruto!

This has changed the entire course of history and put Boruto in grave danger! These events have impacted Sarada a lot and she awakened Mangekyo Sharingan. Multiple fans believe that her awakening was mistimed! Was her awakening truly a mistake? Let’s find out!

Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan awakening has received a lot of hate for not being as impactful as other awakenings. However, her awakening has created a significant impact on the progress of the story and it was necessary to further the story.

Events Leading to Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan Awakening!

Episode 80 of Boruto starts with Shikamaru asking Eida if Boruto was the one who killed Naruto and she affirms the statement. Shikamaru then makes an announcement alerting everyone regarding the death of Naruto by Boruto.

The announcement causes a lot of confusion to Sarada who hasn’t been affected by Eida. At the same time, Sasuke comes to visit Sarada and she tells him that everyone is acting strange and they wanna kill Boruto.

When Sasuke tells that’s a normal reaction and that he wants to stop Boruto before he leaves the village. Sarada is not ready to believe that even her father is acting strange and she gets even more confused regarding the situation. This is when Sumire contacts Sarada and tells her that situation is somehow related to Eida.

She also reveals that everyone else is affected by Eida except Sarada and her. This causes Sarada to break down as she thinks about how Boruto is always in serious predicaments.

Sarada now aware of the entire situation tries to convince Sasuke that everyone is being duped and that Boruto isn’t actually at fault. Sasuke isn’t convinced and just wants to go after Boruto.

However, when she looks up to Sasuke, he sees that she now has Mangyeko Sharingan. This makes him realize that she is very much affected by the situation and that she is telling the truth!

Was Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan awakening a mistake?

Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan has a sun-like pattern and is different from every other Mangyeko featured in the series! However, most people aren’t happy with Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan awakening.

There seems to be a misunderstanding between the fans that Sarada is the first person to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan through love and not hatred. However, it was established that intense emotions connected to love are the reason for the awakening of Mangekyo.

Other fans are claiming that Sarada’s awakening wasn’t as impactful as other Mangekyo Sharingan awakenings. Itachi and Obito both had a pretty dramatic awakening and people believe that Sarada’s awakening fell short.

However, we have to realize that Sarada’s awakening was the reason Sasuke decided to believe and stand with Boruto which will play a major role in the story and we cannot be dismissive of her awakening!

The 80th chapter has geared things up and changed the course of the story and Sarada’s awakening played an important part and was necessary. It wasn’t really a mistake!
