HowSolo Levelingpreserves its legacy without repeatingNaruto‘s missteps
Boruto Uzumaki has risen to become the strongest shinobi in history, surpassing even Naruto and Sasuke in the manga. However, the anime struggled to uphold Masashi Kishimoto’sNarutolegacy and was widelyregarded as an unworthy sequel due to its past shortcomings.
Amid all the criticism, it’s undeniable that theBorutoanime falls short and pales in comparison toNaruto.
AlthoughBorutostarted as one of the most anticipated series, its dramatic decline has drawn comparisons withSolo Leveling.
How didBoruto, backed by such a rich legacy, fail to capture fans’ attention and affection, whileSolo Leveling, rising from the lesser-recognized manhwa world, left a lasting impression on fans—even earning immense love and support for its spin-off,Ragnarök?

UnlikeBoruto,Ragnarökis refreshing and respectful by allowing Sung Jinwoo to retain his strength and legacy. Rather than repeating Masashi Kishimoto’s mistakes,Ragnarökstays true to its core by focusing entirely on the new protagonist while honoring Jinwoo’s legacy.
This keeps the essence of Sung Jinwoo and ensures his character is never diminished but is always revered.
Whereas inBoruto, Naruto lost Kurama which is a big nerf to the fan-favorite character, bigger than anything we have seen inNarutobesides Sasuke losing his Sharingan and Rinnegan.
Naruto as an adult actually becomes weaker during the pre-Borutointerim. Many fans were angered by Masashi Kishimoto’s approach of undermining Naruto to elevate Boruto.
In contrast,Solo Levelingtakes a different approach, preserving itsprotagonist’s legacy, earning deep appreciation from fans, and drawing criticism towardBoruto.
