Okay, let's talk Boruto! Specifically, the dub. And even more specifically, the mystery of when those glorious English voices will grace our ears again after episode 120. It's a question that's plagued many a ramen-loving anime fan.
The search for information can feel like navigating the Hidden Leaf Forest blindfolded. You stumble, you hope for a helpful ninja dog, and mostly, you just end up more confused than when you started. But fear not, intrepid viewer, there's light at the end of the tunnel!
The Dub Delay Dilemma
The frustrating part about waiting for dubs is the uncertainty. It's not like ordering pizza; there's no estimated delivery time popping up on your screen. Instead, you get cryptic announcements and forum threads filled with speculation.
Think of it like this: you’re waiting for Naruto himself to show up for a mission. He’s *always* late, but you know he’ll get there eventually, probably with some dramatic entrance and a side of ramen crumbs. So, patience, young shinobi!
What’s Taking So Long?
Dubs aren't just slapped together in a day. It's a whole process! Voice actors need to record, then there's editing, mixing, and making sure everything syncs perfectly with the animation.
Imagine trying to coordinate a hundred ninja to perform a perfectly timed jutsu. Now, imagine that but with microphones and scripts. Chaos, right?
And let's not forget, the world went through some *interesting* times recently. These events caused delays across the board, touching everything from toilet paper shipments to, yes, even anime dubs. So a little patience is understandable, right?
Theories and Speculation: The Fun Part!
While official announcements are rare, the internet is overflowing with theories. Some are plausible, others… well, let’s just say they're about as likely as Boruto convincing Sasuke to smile.
One popular theory suggests that the dub's return is tied to specific streaming service release schedules. Others think that production companies are intentionally spacing out releases to maximize excitement (and subscriptions!).
My favorite? The one about a rogue squirrel stealing all the voice actors' scripts and holding them hostage for peanuts. It's unlikely, but hey, stranger things have happened in the Naruto universe!
The Waiting Game (and What to Do While Waiting)
Alright, the truth. No one knows *exactly* when the Boruto dub will return after episode 120. But while you're waiting, why not re-watch your favorite episodes? Or maybe dive into the manga?
Consider learning Japanese! Okay, maybe that's a bit ambitious, but even picking up a few phrases can enhance your viewing experience. Plus, you'll sound super impressive at your next anime convention.
Or, and this is a revolutionary idea, maybe find another anime to obsess over for a while. There’s a whole world of animated adventures out there just waiting to be discovered. Think of it as ninja training: broadening your horizons!
In the meantime, keep an eye on official announcements from Crunchyroll, Funimation, and other relevant sources. And remember, the dub *will* return eventually. Just like Naruto never gives up, neither should we. Believe it!
"The moment people stop fighting for each other... that's when they lose." - *Naruto Uzumaki*. And he would want us to wait patiently.
