Heh, Sasuke catching up with Boruto. It's like the old times again.

I think the most priceless reaction was Sakura'as though. She practically fainted! It seems Boruto is also in a better mood now this episode since Himawari's birthday. I'm guessing Boruto reminds Sasuke of Naruto but he still has a lot to work on.

Sasuke is back but this time he will be Boruto's teacher.
Boruto's training reminded me of Naruto when he was trying to learn Rasengan. He did just in couple of days, that talent.Sasuke already noticed that something is fishy about the device.
That Sakura reaction lmao

Well, it was inevitable that it was to be a recap of it's movie counterpart; if not, it would've been extended content -of which, because we know where it's heading, is going to be pointless if it doesn't add to the future storyline (or the extended segments give better info regarding the current situation).

The positive of this episode was that there was good portion coverage taken from the movie; glad to see they ain't pulling any punches, going on ahead



Sakura's reaction was the best though, I don't recall it from the movie (obviously not, it minor compared to the scale of the movie). Nonetheless, great implementation of comic relief -though the scenes prior weren't that intense anyway
I really badly wanna see Naruto in action though; to date they've green giving him some minor cameo-like appearances, same with sasuke - the best bit of action as today's recap, shouldn't count.
With the Shin arc, the spotlight was on Sakura

P.S.
Can't wait for naruto to humiliate boruto on the chunnin exams

Why Sakura react like that? is she still a huge fangirl of Sasuke while she already become his wife?

Well its just recap for anyone who already watch the movie with a few change.

The animation looks better than usual. Are they snatching footage from the movie, or are they just very wasteful with their animation budget?

PATHETIC LOL!! You could literally see the edits from the movie during Sasuke vs Kinshiki, like it would just cut to a scene. They didn’t even try to make it better one bit..this is just sad. Completely ruined my hype for this arc. Wouldn’t even be surprised if the final fight is the same from the movie

I understand capitalism but I also take into consideration this isn’t some broke ass studio that’s producing Boruto. This is just plain lazy, there’s no creativity whatsoever. I can list you plenty of animes where their recaps show some difference and not plain copy paste.

Only redeeming part of this episode was the EPIC fight of Sasuke vs Kinshiki Otsutsuki! For sure they put a lot of budget just for that cool animation!
Other than that, the episode follows exactly faithful adaptation of manga! like Boruto wanting to be a student of Sasuke! and lolz at Sakura fainting because of Sudden Sasuke being home which is extremely rare! And of course Boruto Rasengan training!
We're on the right track on manga because we are here on the scientific ninja tool!
We also get to see Orochimaru advising Mitsuki not to show his true strength at the Chuunin exams!
5/5.

I might be wrong, and it's just a hope, but I think this copy-pase thing could result in more refined, more well-animated episodes later, when we finish this chunnin arc.
Many times the animation is bad, because there aren't enough people, or time. So I just hope they will really make use of the time they gain by barely adding anything new to the already-animated scenes.


--

They indeed barely add anything new to the movie. The baking scene was actually new at least, and wasn't even a bad idea. Maybe even Sakura fainting was new as well, I'm not sure.

It feels so wrong that I am trying to discuss those few newer scenes they decided to add. At least this arc is not going to get super stretched, and we'll finally see what's supposed to happen after the exam, without reading the manga, which is nice.

Guys, this is an adaptation, it was obvious that they would not make a drastic change in the plot. But this episode, for example, made changes in the scene of Boruto's encounter with Sasuke and in the scene of the fight against Kinshiki. Also added scenes of Sasuke finding the parchment, Boruto cooking which led him to understand the rasengan, Sasuke coming home and Mitsuki talking to Orochimaru. In my opinion this adaptation is doing better than the manga and the movie did. And yes, I think they are reusing some scenes from the movie as the basis of the animation, but I do not see any problem in that.
I think the biggest changes we will see will be in the Chuunin exam fights. And probably in the final fight, since we will have Urashiki in there.

THE only times boruto is somewhat sympathetic/relatable is when himawari is around also in this episode sakura had screentime and even one line of dialogue so she already did more then during all of shippuden.

Any episode with Sasuke in it is a good episode. Him kicking Boruto in the gut was great. He's now his teacher, but he suspects that Boruto is cheating. The fight in the beginning was pretty cool.

As expected it's mostly familiar content from the movie but I don't mind seeing it again. The small additions are nice as well. The fight between Sasuke and Kinshiki was hype again, and I personally don't care if they reused the movie footage. Why bother re-animating what you already have? Like the person a few posts above me mentioned, I was hoping they would extend Boruto's Rasengan training. Also, it looks like Sasuke noticed Boruto's ninja tech....

Well he did have dark circles under his eyes this episode, which is an obvious indicator that he's exhausted. That probably led to him not being able to concentrate enough to sustain his clone.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

In the war arc at the age of 16 he had his shadowclones use shadowclones to fight against fckn madara also he charged his chakra (with the help of the nine tails which he still has) twice with the entire shinobi alliance and after fighting madara obito and the ten tails he still fought kaguya and Sasuke without taking a break so mere office work can't exhaust him to the point that he collapses ffs.

One of Sasuke's original goals was to "restore the Uchiha clan". Bruh he should be out there making Uchiha super babies and training his own daughter - focus on building up the next generation of Uchiha, not this annoying-ass entitled little kid. Fucking hell Boruto is annoying.

I don't mind these recaps of the movie
yes, we have seen most of these scenes
But they did redo some and add extra scenes
Why i like these?..
Because it lets the animators work on future work, make it look pretty
So its nothing new the series or any other anime hahaha
I'm keen for more fighting scenes though :)

Expect ratings to drop even lower.

Will probably see this show at a 6.8-6.9 by next week lmao.

Recaping everything isn't the way to go and that's what they're going to do in the the slowest way possible... Idk.

Kishimoto is greedy as fuck or whoever chooses to write these insanely garbage fillers or whatever for the Anime. They did this stupid shit with Naruto and it hurt an Anime that could've been way more enjoyable

Are you people stupid? It's not a fucking recap (it's a reimagining) if most people watching haven't seen the movie and there's huge changes made to the arc itself. We've always known they would re-adapt the movie arc for the last year now, but I'm guessing your self entitled self thought they would skip the arc (which would make things confusing for anyone just following the anime).

Boruto just had to “cheat” his way into proving himself...
It just like everything was going good and then he just had to lie!
Luckily Sasuke noticed I’m ready for Boruto to break down.

Anyways a good episode. I haven’t watch the Boruto movie but I could definilty tell that, that fight Sasuke did was not from this show... it was just more movie-ish

I like how they’re handling this arc so far. There’s new small moments that are added in, such as the cake making scene, which I thought added more depth as to how Boruto was able to form a Rasengan.

So your entire basis is based off of opinion.

Okay, you played yourself. Just continue watching the anime then dude no one is trying to stop you. And of course it's going to have better art than the original naruto and second naruto series... Since it's a sequal. Art doesn't make an anime good, just look at Guilty Crown. (Guilty Crown is still better than this anime and pretty decent actually.)

Hmm so thats how Boruto met Sasuke. But Naruto sure is a hard position though having to balance his workload with his family. A reason why Kaguya acted as she did huh. The reason will probably be because of that clan that they have started to face. Hmm harsh as he is Sasuke's advice sure helped make Boruto focus. Sakura and Sarada's reaction at seeing Sasuke though was hilarious. It was nice that we got to see Boruto and Himawari enjoy some quality time together. Still looks like Boruto's training is going pretty well. I wonder when the tie in to the move will happen though. Pretty soon i imagine.

Don't know if the version I saw was a bad translation, a misunderstanding on my part, more battles I didn't know about happening or an error in the series itself but Shikamaru said it's been 10 years since the great ninja wars... my question is how? Unless they lowered the graduation age to 7 or 8 and lace their food with chakra enhanced hormones I see that as impossible when Boruto should be 12 and was born at least 2 or 3 years after the war.
