| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh yes, having a gathering to honor the previous generation is is an important occasion. This is especially true for Shikaku's case ad the current generation. Shikamaru also knows how important his father was during the Fourth Shinobi War. By looking at his kid, I think Shikamaru also looks forward ahead to the future as the current generation shall surpass the previous. Shikamaru's dad really was a genius imo. |
 |
| Totally forgot Ao was also at the headquarters in the war, really thought he just lived a peaceful life in the Land of water. Bit emotional to see Ao removing the last shreds of doubt for Shikamaru and Ino on their dads plan, but got a bad feeling on Ao because of that last scene. |
 |
| I definitely felt emotional seeing these recaps of the war, especially when Ao told Shikamaru and Ino about their fathers' final moments. Nice start to the Ao arc so far. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Quite a touching episode. |
| A great eps that gave us the side of the war we usually don't really think of. Nara Shikaku was one of my favorite chara in the main series, his calmness smartness and vision is almost rivaled by none. Dying right after giving everything he can for everyone and giving his honest support to his son was a well-crafted end for such great character. |
 |
| Remembrance day at Konohagakure. Its really brought back the memories of the war, which was led into a certain emotional scene for me. Such a shame Ao did some lies there, and everyone just believed on it. Well, its actually kinda vagued, and i just felt bad with their zero knowledge, especially to Mugino that looked so innocently knew nothing. I wonder what kind of reaction they had when knewing the truth after a certain part at the future. However, yeah, its the beginning of the new era. Shikamaru and the rest of the old generation must be prepared themself to face the same situations. Which forced them to did the same thing, like their parents had, in the past. Okay. Its sad. I must stop it to be like that, because, i don't really wanted them to death xd. Well, the next one must be really entertaining. The introduction of another Kara's member, including Amado, and his masterpiece. Then, the real death for Victor. Lol. Lets see.... |

| This was pretty emotional, the flashbacks and Shikmaru and Ino's conversation made me sad. |
 |
| That ending was a bit scary, I hope he isn't evil now. |
 |
| This was a really beautiful and emotional episode. Boruto’s at its best when it does episodes like these. It’s crazy to think we’ve grown up with Shikamaru and Ino and now they’re raising another generation. That scene with Shikamaru and Shikadai at the end really drove that home. “I wonder if he’s learning anything from me” Next episode preview tho, I’m so hype, we getting Delta animated finally 🤤 Kara arc is finally here. |
 |
| A good episode, the memories of the war were touching and it is not every day that Shikamaru is so moved. |

| Yes the Kara arc is really close now, FINALLY! I liked this episode, a bit of nostalgia is always good. |
| Reminiscing episode... Here we go Ao Arc begins We got some flashback and learn how he survived that bijuu attack... They really mute what Shikaku said... Now I'm wondering if Ao told the truth to Shikamaru or not... The ending scene with Ao catching leaf, such a beautiful foreshadowing... |

BarelyCreative said: Rest in peace Neji, still dearly missed as always. Why isn't Hinata included in ninja stuff anymore? |
 |
| Spies hidden in the leaf village? Ao catching the leaf in his hand? Definitely sus. I've got a feeling he's one of those outer people that Sai mentioned in the ep where Naruto discussed whether to close the gates or not. But would he not be registered as a traveler? Especially if he's been sighted now by Shikamaru, if Ao is the spy it won't be long until Shikamaru finds out! Overall great ep! I love the flashbacks when it's something we haven't seen before. Would enjoy seeing more of that when they feature the original cast. |

| The OST in this episode is for sure very touching especially on the part where the prosthetic old dude shinobi told Shikamaru that they are proud of their sons/daughters! the OP visuals has slight changes... 5/5. |
 |
| Easily one of the most emotionally on-point episode of the series! Revisiting and getting some closure from the main series, why don't we get more of this more often ffs? Anyway, the whole buildup with Shikamaru and Ino's conversation to the reveal coupled with the ost was glorious! I honestly though Ao-san was Ino's father at first. Definitely got teary-eyed, and the final scene of Shikamaru and Shikadai was fantastic too. But damn, what's that in the end? Ao-san?! Great start to the arc, and here's to hoping it'll remain as good throughout. |

| Really good and emotional episode. Got tears at the end of the episode and when Ino and Shikamaru were talking about their Dads. Waiting for how this arc will be animated. Also, noticed that Kawaki has finally been shown in the opening. |
 |
| Really got emotional with this episode. Hearing that they expanded on a manga arc once again is really great. I hope they keep doing that this well in the future! I have heard of an Ao and Kara arcs so I'm excited to finally see what the hype was all about. |

Spoilers my dude {{ (>_<) }} a lot of us don't read the manga so I'm not sure whether these are spoilers or not; might need to use some spoiler tags? Oops sorry if thats kinda give a little spoil for you. I don't read manga too. I just get a pretty hype up too much since the preview scene showed up that Kara members i mention. So i am really sorry xd. |

| Can't believe how much I still miss Neji! |
| This episode felt really nostalgic and emotional. Good'ol days!! Shikamaru and Ino's dads believed in their children till their last breath!! Idk why but Ao seems kinda fishy... |
 |
| An ep. were we saw almost no interaction of the Boruto brat. One could call it a canon Naruto ep. About time we saw Ao's appearance after the war. He looks sexier than before. Very touching to see Shikaku and Inochi's last words towards their son and daughter. Very refreshing and heartwarming to watch. However, I think Ao got a scheme (especially by that end). |
 |
| One of the best episodes in the series so far. |
 |
| That ending freaked me out. |

| okay but lemme tell you Ao is SUS as hell |
*simping over 2D characters*  |
| What a fantastic episode. I've been waiting so long to see Cyborg Ao in animated form, and it was definitely worth it. I love it when they do flashbacks to the OG series, and it's nice that we actually got to know what happened at the HQ after Shikaku and Inoichi were done with delivering their messages. 5/5 for this one. Loved it. |
| I got goosebumps when Shikamaru became emotional I am interested into that guy now FINALLY the Kara arc is going on! |
