00:00Last Friday, I received the 600-page Boruto narrative guide.
00:05And so, for 5 days, I translated the inside to make today's video.
00:09And as you probably know, I received it through Japan Demand.
00:12a French boutique located in Japan,
00:14with the promo code Darko 5 and Darko 10.
00:16Many of you also pre-ordered it,
00:18And besides, you will receive them very soon.
00:21But then, this 600-page narrative guide to Boruto,
00:25So what's it worth?
00:26This is the worst narrative guide I have ever seen in my life, quite honestly.
00:30Upon opening, we discovered some rather nice posters,
00:32then nearly 570 pages of manga for only about twenty pages of explanatory content.
00:38Yes, you understood it very well, the Boruto narrative guide is just a recycling of the manga.
00:44They took pages from the manga, copied and pasted them, and put them in the narrative guide.
00:47Don't take us for fools either.
00:49The problem is that a narrative guide is supposed to add new information.
00:53Not just making us read the manga a second time, that's very strange.
00:57Ah, wait, I have a message from Sofiane Le Geek right now.
00:59In the Dragon Ball community, we have real guides.
01:02For example, I've had this one for years.
01:05Well, this is a real guide.
01:07where we learn much more about the lore of Dragon Ball.
01:11There are a lot of descriptions,
01:13It talks about timelines, characters,
01:16of the vision that the author Akira Toriyama had.
01:18And it's really different from the Boruto guide I've seen.
01:23Whereas here, it looks more like a condensed version of several manga pages we've already seen.
01:27which is more like a Kai manga version, quite simply.
01:31If I want manga, then...
01:33I'm re-releasing the manga editions that I already own in several different editions.
01:37whether it be large formats or others.
01:38But at least here, we have real guides.
01:42Yes, thank you Jamy!
01:43Sofiane explains it very well,
01:45in the Daizenshu of Dragon Ball,
01:47We find interviews, sketches, abandoned designs,
01:50anecdotes about the creation process and ideas that were never used.
01:54Basically, with Boruto's Daizenshu,
01:57We wanted to see the first code designs for Boruto.
01:59From Delta, from Kara, the first outfits,
02:01why they created Kara
02:03Why did they create new Otsutsuki?
02:05What are the basics, what are the creations?
02:06No, there are only pages from the manga.
02:08In fact, it's what we've already read.
02:10So, yesterday, I criticized the guide on Twitter,
02:13serious mistake.
02:13The Japanese and the Americans, they were waiting for me with firm resolve.
02:16It was even the first time I had received racist insults.
02:20I was called a dirty foreigner.
02:22That's crazy.
02:23Incredible experience.
02:24But as a fan,
02:25We are not obliged to accept everything that a license offers us.
02:29Boruto has both qualities and flaws.
02:32And this guide seems particularly lazy to me.
02:35I am disappointed because, in fact, this guide doesn't offer anything new.
02:37and the limited information contained in the volume.
02:40Actually, it gives you information,
02:42but that doesn't answer 100% either.
02:44Well, like, it's timid.
02:46That's it, that's the word.
02:47It's timid and lazy.
02:48Please note, it remains a very beautiful collector's item.
02:51For me, it has a very nice place in my library.
02:53But that's where it ends.
02:54A huge disappointment for this tenth anniversary.
02:57THANKS.
