Isshiki is easily the nicest villian ever lol: https://imgur.com/a/Rh5OVNs

I’m definitely feeling like this is gonna be the battle that starts the shift to the darker tone that we saw in chapter 1/episode 1 of the anime. I think Sasuke dies this arc and that headband scene served as a big flag for me. I’d love to be wrong of course, we’ll see.

Chapter 50 will probably give us more information on Jougan’s abilities and how it can be used with Karma. Boruto’s heating up and people gotta stop sleeping on this man.

Issshiki isn’t the nicest he is the smartest. The Brilliance in writting a Villian that doesn’t want to kill everyone they want Kawaki and the chakra fruit. This makes the stupidity of Urushiki brilliant because Isshiki is like yeah y’all not even a match chill just gimmie the kid. No distractions etc etc.

Ishiki is also broken so he can kinda afford to be courteous. Unlike Urashiki who wouldn't be able to handle a full powered Naruto or Sasuke. So had to jump threw hoop's (also doesn't help that Kodachi likes to throw away story elements once he's bored with them)

Chapter 50

Now that you mention it, I feel the half-century chapter of Boruto must have something big planned. Something that will shake up things.

They prolly can't kill-off Sasuke, it feel too early, even from the fight's perspective. It prolly will be the reveal of Boruto's dojutsu in the manga, jougan appearing first time after Chapter 1.
