An episode about some card game....

Pretty wacky episdoe especially with Metal Lee. I mean, the guy wants to prove himself. Boruto didn't waste much time getting to work either.

The episode was more on the forgettable end of the spectrum to be honest. However I'm actually looking forward to next week since we're getting to see a bit of Team 25!

Is this episode a promotion for some real life cards?
I wonder how the heck Kiba and Akamaru got a card before Rock Lee? I wonder who the other characters are with a card

I'm really surprised that neither Rock Lee or Shino didn't have a card made before Akamaru of all characters. Like papsoshea said, "Rock Lee being the new blue beast of the leaf should be enough + Shino is from one of the most famed clans in the land of fire." They both are worthy of a spot on a card. If not that then look at what they had accomplished as shinobi.

As soon as Metal said his dad should be on the card instead of Shino, I thought why not have them both be on the card. It can be like a rarity like Naruto since there are 2 people on a card instead of just 1, but I'm glad they both got their own card at the end of the day.

With them showing off the cards, I thought we were finally getting back to adapting the manga, but no, another anime filler.

Since a lot of people are just shrugging it off, these cards appear in the arc shortly after the fight with Momoshiki and but they changed the arc entirely into a crappy filler episode. Really wished it didn't so we could finally get some progression towards the actual story. They might just change it entirely at this point.

Boring episode as always! I've accepted that this anime is just a pass time kinda vibe.

No respect for the og cast. Was hoping for the return to the source material after the introduction of the trading cards, but i doubt we'll get back on track for a while since the manga updates too slowly to sustain an anime adaptation for very long.

Sigh.... one of them should've said "Why not both?" to make things faster.

Also if it's that easy to carve a stone face, why all this time they hire a workers for that? Either Iwabe is really talented or Konoha is just dumb.

So Hoki was just a fan, huh?

New ED! Even though next week is more filler, at least we'll get focus on a character that hasn't seen any screentime prior

I am more surprised for what kind of ep. we got. They must really be out of ideas. Well then again this ep. was a filler so it makes sense why it was this bad. It's funny to see how serious and determined Boruto is to get the smallest and stupidest idea through. What I haven't understand is why they made Rock Lee look so mature and old. He looks so much older than both Sasuke and Boruto together. He have so little fat on him that he looks old and very fragile.

The biggest question of all is who Rock Lee b***** to get Metal Lee which is still a mystery. Rumors goes it's Tenten, but not confirmed yet. I wonder if he is gonna have it's own arc to find out who his mom is just like Sarada. That would indeed be funny to watch.

I thought for sure they would start the Bodyguard arc of the manga. Nope. This is why Pierrot should not be allowed adapt anymore mangas from jump.

Psst...





Okay. The premise for this episode is actually really cute. ;o;;

I'm also kinda surprised that Rock Lee didn't already have a card...?? I'm sure there's a Gai card, but I think both Gai and Lee's presence in the community are super important as shinobi who don't specialize in chakra. As silly as they kinda made them at points, they still worked incredibly hard and achieved great things. If you're trying to SELL a card, I would definitely put Lee since he's pretty darn easy to look up to. I did always think Shino was pretty cool back in the day, but Lee would probs sell better.

I'm glad they both received a card though in the end! ;o;;

I find it hard to believe with that long list of names Denki's father produced that neither Rock nor Shino made the first cut. Really?

Also, they could have given them both good action shots, using their skills instead of just posing. That sucked also.

goofy ep but it was okay I guess, is kind of an insult that the original konoha 11 wouldn't all be in those cards, unless it included alive & dead and from other villages too, then I understand. But the having an Akamaru card but no Shino or Rock Lee was pretty funny.

new ED I think? at least those and the OPs are pretty consistently good, from what I remember anyway.

fake kakashi kid next ep? another concept which could be cool but I have my doubts on their execution.
