This is a nod to Shippuden OP 18, Line, in which all of the characters throughout that Naruto opening are constantly chasing after their goal/dreams (personified as this crystal of light) with raw desperation. But the real homages comes at the part of the opening song where Boruto is chasing his father's back, as he so often does, as well as this little crystal of light, only to have it fade away in his hand. The slow introduction of characters building up to a chorus right as the main cast confronts some epic enemy in battle is pretty standard for almost every Naruto/Boruto opening. So many of the Boruto openings are full of homages and references to moments in Shippuden openings, and Golden Time is no different. But now, much like how Boruto is all about the next generation, it's time for the newest generation of people growing up on Boruto to get their representation, so a few of its OPs are now included in this list as well.ĭisclaimer: Spoilers for Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, and Boruto: The Next Generation.

Updated February 12th, 2021 by Jacob Buchalter: Thinking back on it now, there really are quite a lot of openings throughout the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden series. Throughout all the arcs and major events in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, there have been a ton of different openings, some more memorable than others, so, here's a look at the best of the best. RELATED: Boruto: Every Arc So Far, Ranked And, while Naruto Uzumaki doesn’t exactly fit the stereotypical image of a ninja/shinobi (neither does Boruto), the both of them do a fantastic job as the relatively airheaded lead character in their respective series, and Naruto is obviously strong enough by the end of the mainline series to be considered the 'strongest' as a Kage should be. It's a series all about Naruto trying his best to become the “Hokage” or the strongest shinobi, of which there were plenty of candidates. Ah Naruto, the prolific anime/manga series all about a kid with a fox demon trapped inside him who dresses in bright orange and yells all the time.
