It was an average episode for me. Nothing special about it. The Iwabe was quite generic in the sense of him only thinking about strength and hating on the weak. Would love to know why Inojin is a douche sometimes haha.

It'd be nice if writer decides to explore ninja world and not focus only on fights and hidden villages. There is much more to create, you can't run out of ideas, one thing I like about this franchise most is setting. If they start traveling around the world it would be nice, HxH style.

I watch this show for Mysterious Background Girl.


Given the detail she got, I hope that means she'll get a proper introduction later on. For now, I'll make do with the Class Rep..... and yeah, she's definitely Hinata 2.0. Definitely has a crush on Boruto.

She´s not a character, she´s decoration and will be removed from the story.



The ending basicly spoils which characters will stay and which will be taken out eventually. Mitzuki is more prominently featured in the prologue&epilogue than the already introduced cardboard.

Furthermore Sarada isn´t that much of a "Tsundere" they try to portray her as in here, at least within what Kishimoto wrote about her. She may grow on you regardless of shipping. That´s totally pointless by now. Last generation had it to further the rivalry in part one and got lost once more important things started happening.

What you mean she is not a character lol.

To put it simply, Boruto´s classmastes are stock characters and won´t be developed further than this. Purple hair girl being a version of this pink haired one.

They are just those stereotypes without further depth and only exist to padd the story and fill a classroom before the real story can take place when they´re all thrown out.

As far as Sarada goes. She´s not at all like the Anime makes her in Kishimoto´s Manga. She´s not perfect but she isn´t a tsundere. I really don´t know why Ukyou insists on giving her all the similarities to Sakura.

Yeah man I totally couldn't imagine the series without TenTen and Shino. They were such an important character in the prequel.

Jokes aside, Mitsuki is a main character and we already knew that he would be a prominent figure from the Boruto movie and the one shot by Kishimoto.

Tenten and Shino could have been written out of the story, but they were more a case of wasted potential rather than backround decoration.
Shino more than Tenten, who at least had a win againts Kankuro and one of the Oto Nin. It was obvious that by the end Kishimoto didn´t knew what to do with those characters anymore due to the powercreep, so he just made them dispose of some fodder enemies. Tbh I prefer that over the nonsensical " those are my x number of underlings that I bestowed power upon" cliche.

Those new characters reek of substitution. Like the director wanted to have a more dynamic classroom setting and so the scriptwriter came up on the spot with them. So to avoid anyone missing them they´re given the most miniscule of personality untill they get written out of the story, while receiving screentime only in the opening. Except they go with the route Toriko used by intoducing filler characters that do expendable things. Like Boruto forgott his lunch, where in the Manga he goes and takes it himself a filler character gives it to him.

Makes no sense why the staff would go over the trouble to make a detailed settei for a decoration character that will be written out.



Look I'm not saying she's going to be a prominent character like Sarada but it's too soon to say who's going to be written out of the story right now.

Maybe she'll be a member of an anonymous team... She can't be with Sarada and Chocho because Sarada'll be in team with Boruto and Mitsuki, while Chocho with Shikadai and Inojin

Most likely with Denki and Iwabe but who knows? The anime might retcon the Boruto movie and add them in Metal Lee's team.

Well it'd be the weakest team ever: they don't have any special ability, such as ocular powers, clan techniques or others, they're anonymous member and I don't understand why they're focusing on them. Denki doesn't exist in Boruto's manga while here they want us to think that he'll be important for Boruto's life.

They have to introduce all the new characters, they didn't animated ch. 700 after all. I hope this means that not only Boruto and Sarada, but also the others will have an important role in this story.

The story, characters,animation, everything was horrible. Am I the only one who found this Iwabe guy OP?? I thought that in Boruto the power levels would drop, but instead we get a guy that can already climb walls and use an elemental jutsu, something that even Sasuke, the genius, only did when he became a genin, and this was climbing the walls, mastering the elemental nature is something on a whole new level. I am deeply disappointed, I expected something funny and cool, and got the same talk more about stupid things and fight less, the ''talk no jutsu'', seriously, the guy had an epiphany because he realized he was uncool. The whole conflict was so forced, and the static animation didn't help.

This is just... ugh. While I was opposed to the idea of Naruto having a sequel at all, watching the first episode has me hoping that I'd be wrong. Then they shit out this lazy, generic, piece of garbage episode. I don't care if it's a filler, and if they pull out one right at the beginning of the show I just have to question what the fuck is going through their minds.

All this talk about Boruto going his own way, and then he is a bootleg version of Naruto.
uh oh!

Yeah that was a bit disappointing but it was outsourced to Peace&Kindness studio. Next one should be good since it'll be in-house again.
When i saw that i can only remember that scene with Sasuke! Sasuga his student lol. But this is set after the boruto movie right? That means Boruto is already Sasuke's student?

Iwabe isn't a simple student, it's several years he's at the academy and he's also older than the other. On the other side, he's a sort of genius of jutsu and fights, so it's normal he's a step ahead than the others.

No, these episodes are set before the movie, so Boruto isn't Sasuke's disciple.

Sasuke learned fireball jutsu years before he became a genin, even before the uchiha massacre, which now that i think about it didn't make sense because walking on walls is supposed to be more easier than fire jutsu and it was an element that wasn't his affinity.

I'm expecting a lot of character development from Sarada... hopefully more so than both her father and mother who were one-dimensional throughout the series (apart from the very end). I hope all characters get a chance to shine. So far Denki has already shown nice starting development.

In ch. 700 he has that visor... We have to ask Kishimoto why he drew something like that.

I do live for Inojin, though. While most of the characters are forgettable at this point, it's only the second episode so perhaps we'll have some ways-a-go for development.

Wait, did they break character or something? I've always thought that Boruto is the kind of guy who don't wanna work hard to achieve something? Which is why in the movie his jacket is always clean. But in this episode and the previous one, his jacket clearly got destroyed a lot.

Also, no Himawari or Hinata in this episode... ugh... not even Naruto... ugh...
