Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Boruto relies on character skills, personal growth, and legacy rather than focusing on identity politics. Character arcs are built around merit and development, not checklists. While new faces are introduced, they're not shoehorned for the sake of diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely respects cultural traditions of the ninja world, family ties, and honor. Masculinity and femininity remain distinct, and central values like sacrifice and duty are celebrated. No subversive rewriting of traditional roles is apparent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show tends to reinforce its established worldview, there's always room for disagreement and conflict among characters. Ideological uniformity is not forced, and diverse motivations drive the story.
