Good from a certain point of view. He certainly had the best of intentions, but his methods are extreme as usual. But well, Oro probably thinks as long as no permanent harm is done, it doesn't matter how many times he needs to mind wipe his own son. For Oro, what matters s the outcome, not how he gets there.

I guess unlike DBZ fighters, Orochimaru sought a method to realize a "super saiayan" on his child. He just knew that his son cannot compete at top tier if he doesn't master the sage mode. Best gift ever.
So, the Boruto upcoming chapter, is the artist is actually good? I heard that it wasn't done by Kishimoto himself. So I am kinda worry of bad art. |

Really odd seeing Orochimaru being kind of... nice? So much for keeping him under house arrest, but oh well. Compared to all the other conspiracies he got up to before, sending his "son" to enroll alongside Boruto is pretty harmless.
Don't think I even got any hints of him preparing either of them as spare bodies or something like that. He's really mellowed out. |

I honestly think Orochimaru's character has been assassinated. I just cannot register this man as that character when he was introduced in the Chunnin Exams in Part One. And I see no development that warrants such a drastic change.
I'll just headcanon it as that real Orochimaru died when Sasuke killed him and the rest are just some clones, or something.

He is acting differently now because his goal is different. Because he already "won", got what he wanted out of it, and is now moving to the next stage of his life. The guy has mastered eternal life, and is trying something different now. He is evil, but he isn't evil for evil's sake.

Still can't get used to Orochimaru being benevolent. All he wanted to do was make sure Mitsuki made his own decision and send him to Boruto.
He did dodge the most important question though. Is Orochimaru the mother or father?

Just read it and I satisfied.
So that's how Orochimaru act as parent, still using extreme method as usual. Quote:
If I may add, while chasing immortality, 'old' Orochimaru is also obsessed to reach the understanding of knowledge of all things. However, after saw how Kabuto, who became his 'successor', ended up in failure while Sasuke who rebel to him succeed, he noticed that Sasuke growth turned out to be taking interesting route that he never considered before hence saying he's looking forward to see how Sasuke change the world while helping Alliance, even saying that he can quite understand why Jiraiya and Tsunade taking disciple. Mitsuki existence and how he wishes for Mitsuki to have a free will is practically an extension to that, how the next generation decided who you are. Orochimaru isn't a young man, he's older than Jiraiya by now, so I can understand if he's taking that direction. |
