This is a way for them to make Naruto's strength irrelevant to the situation without making Naruto as a whole an irrelevant character to the series.Finally something interesting happens. I find it a bit sad Naruto didn't do anything, he became just another side character. He could have at least try to use some badass rasengan and fail miserably to make that beast stronger, so we could see some more action. I think the script writer forgot that Naruto can use Senjutsu. It worked against Rinnegan so it should work on Nue too |

No one got nerfed genius. Naruto literally said he was going to finish the nue in one hit meaning the monster isn't that strong but the problem is that nue would explode as soon as he absorbs Naruto's chakra and destroy Konoha in the process. |
| i watched this episode a day late the animations, huge step up, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge... huuuuuge (actually not that huge but yeh) AAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH kakashi got screen, and it was good screen time (as soon as i saw kakashi's face i be like "love it," [click] "vote now") omd, add kakashi and the entire episode becomes better, more depth, more action; and amazing plot twists (((o(*°▽°*)o))) (im shaking- with excitement) purple lightning, purple lightning, purple lightning, purple lightning... wtf is purple lightning, heeeeeeh? that was jokes, to see more personality in shadow clones; it reminded me of that episode where naruto's clones turned against him (≧▽≦) (≧▽≦) sumire sounds like such a sadist <(￣ ﹌ ￣)> "why, why?" wait, if naruto used sage jutsu and let the "nue" absorb that chakra, wouldn't the "nue" just turn to stone (idk, im so confused (・_・;) ) i want the series to have more international depth since all the nations are together now some people called sumire their waifu, is she still your waifu |

TJtR said: So you think, Nue's explosion would be bigger than Momoshiki's or 10 tails... Does it matter? If it's big enough to damage Konoha then by all means they should be careful while they handle the nue. Let's me also point out, that Nue only showed the ability to absorb chakra from "people" by "biting" them. Nothing more! He didn't absorb Kakashi's jutsu. He can't absorb chakra from air, cause whole plot wouldn't have any sense. And you want to say, the fastest ninja in the world, who made the crater on the moon with just punch, can't deal with him. We barely know anything about the extent of the nue's full abilites. When Kakashi cut off it's tail, it instantly grew multiple more tails like a Hydra. Keeping that in mind, who knows it'll actually die if Naruto used his full power. And even if Naruto was fast enough to deal with the monster, what do you think is going to happen with all the chakra stored inside the Nue ready to blow up? As if fighting him, was only option, he had. He could use 1-tail curse power to seal him. He knew, Class Rep is culprit (explained by Shikamaru), he knew Class Rep is linked with Nue (explained by Kakashi) and he's god level sensor type ... Mate did you already forget Sumire's conversation with Mitsuki? She literally says hiding is her specialty and based episode 7 when she was being stalked, She was quickly able to notice the presence of the stalker twice meaning she could be a sensor type as well. Heck her stalker even states Sumire was the only one who could see him when he was invisible. Stop defending indefensible plot armor. That's not what plot armor means but ok. tambi33 said: wai, wai, wai, waaiit; hooold up? lemme get this straight; so youre tryna say that you knew... yeh don't chat shi*e i get whatt you mean; its pretty generic...

| @Z4k okay. that was insightful; the one who clocked on to that is clever... i feel pretty dumb (shoulda realised that stare had a deeper meaning) eeehhh one thing tho she did get a lot more screen time; of which i only recognised as comic relief (should i delete that post; naaah one off) |

And even if Naruto was fast enough to deal with the monster, what do you think is going to happen with all the chakra stored inside the Nue ready to blow up? Ofc, it matters, cause Naruto just absorbed whole explosion from Momoshiki's attack, i doubt, Nue has even 1/10 of its power. Mate did you already forget Sumire's conversation with Mitsuki? She literally says hiding is her specialty and based episode 7 when she was being stalked, She was quickly able to notice the presence of the stalker twice meaning she could be a sensor type as well.

That's not what plot armor means but ok. Naruto can't kill Nue, because of plot, so how its not plot armor? a prodigy will always be a prodigy; so if her sensory levels are potentially that good then let them be (naah, im just tryna peeve off everybody (ノ*°▽°*) |

| Awww, Naruto really has become the adult of the show... he literally will contribute nothing to the eradication of this Nue thing. So sad :( But next week we'll be able to see Boruto using his dad's ultimate technique: talk no jutsu!!! I mean. I've already lost all hope when they made the culprit so fucking obvious. But I was hoping this show will be a bit more dark and, uh, realistic.... ....what I meant is that I really really wish the Class Rep won't cross into the light side lmao. Just, let her be in her dark path. That'll be much more interesting anyway. |

| A good episode... A real Boruto: Naruto next Generation episode! Finally we got Kakashi  It's about time -.- And I still hate that they just keep using Boruto's "Super Power" every f*cking single episode... I mean, it's a "Super power", so it's not something that you can or should use every f*cking episode! That's way the best episodes were the 8th, half of the 9th and big part of the 13th... The rest is just shit! MoeGod said: Exactly... And if Nue absorbed the Natural Energy, he would have petrified... This way wouldn't blow up!MariaKnight said: I think the idea is that the beast isn't that strong, Naruto could probably one shot it with a Rasengan but then it would blow up.

Then Naruto did a pretty shit job considering it left a huge crater after the explosion and there would have been many casualties had they failed to evacuate everyone. Seems like you've forgotten that.  Wait, you are comparing 7 years old Sumire sensor ability with Naruto sensor ability ... No? I only gave you a reason why Sumire hasn't been detected yet. Naruto can't kill Nue, because of plot, so how its not plot armor? Because the scriptwriters aren't bending the rules of the world to make sure the Nue survives. Naruto can kill the nue but hasn't done it yet as it would put Konoha in danger. Do you see any rules getting bent? |
Z4KJun 29, 2017 7:22 AM
| At least, a good episode. If this keeps up it'll be a good show. |
 |
| Boruto is exactly the same like his father. Woah Sumire is pretty surprising. I want Ino to come back next time. :c |

At first I had my suspicions when she was found injured but after the small flash back with her mom I pretty much thought it was her.

Alright Kakashi and Sai are having trouble with a beast that a 13 year old summoned, definitely not nerfed. Someone of Naruto's near demi-god level status has to show up to deal with a problem that the Jonin should easily be able to deal with. Are you telling me someone of Naruto's experience can't deal with this shit instantly, yeah ok. Lets call it what it is, its dragged out conflict because they obviously can't have it end after 10 seconds. |

Kakashi and Sai are having trouble because they're forced to not use any chakra related ability that could be absorbed the Nue. Not sure why the age of the summoner matters here. She's not the one who created it and neither did she use her own chakra for the summoning. Nowhere in the episode did they imply Naruto can't handle the Nue. He quite clearly stated that he could finish the beast in one hit but the problem was the beast's ability to absorb people's chakra and explode. We already know the beast has enough chakra to detonate so what do you suggest Naruto is supposed to do if his involvement could end up causing even more damage to Konoha? End it in 10 seconds? And how do you suggest he could do that without causing any casualty? Keep in mind the Nue, depending on the one who's controlling it, could detonate at any moment. |
| I should have figured it out sooner.... no not that Class Pres was the culprit, I couldn't care less about that, but why the show is going at this pace. Its fallen to the seasonal cour format where they need a season finale type ordeal when the cour end and the rest of the episodes are more or less build up to that finale even if they're more or less filler content. Shippuden didn't follow that pattern so that might be why it feels so like an inferior format for Boruto. And Class Pres's "huwawa" when Mitsuki founds her was strangely cute. Guess it's an actual habit and not just pretend, or became one. |

Kakashi appears, uses purple lightning easily cuts it. How about doing it again good sir? The attack was quick, efficient, and completely by surprise. You'd think someone like kakashi would be smart enough to finish it quickly but of course not. Now the beast is just continuing to gather more chakra, rather than finishing it quickly lets let it power up. Great tactics from the people who fought in the war. |

You'd think someone like kakashi would be smart enough to finish it quickly but of course not. Doing it again? Did you perhaps miss the part where the nue regrew multiple tails when the first one was cut off just like a hydra? Jesus, it feels like I'm the only one paying attention here. Now the beast is just continuing to gather more chakra, rather than finishing it quickly lets let it power up. Great tactics from the people who fought in the war. What do you think is going to happen to all the chakra stored inside the Nue ready to explode if they went with your vague strategy and "finished" it? |
| @Z4k Why would he stop at attacking the tail, and not go for the rest of the body when he had the element of surprise on his side? So you are telling me letting it absorb more chakra, and letting it escape is a better plan? Nice. They already had a barrier up, and someone of Naruto's level on the front lines. With addition to Sai, Kakashi, and Sakura. Just because it can absorb chakra doesn't mean it can out do someone of demi-god status skill (I know he can kill it, what I'm saying here is he should've been able to better manage it). |
| the cliffhanger though, i can't wait for the next episode....!! :( Anyway i didn't expect that Sumire is the culprit behind all of those ghost incident they called... hope boruto will save her somehow... |
Z4k said: Then Naruto did a pretty shit job considering it left a huge crater after the explosion and there would have been many casualties had they failed to evacuate everyone. Seems like you've forgotten that. Pretty shity job? The crater in the center, it's the place, where the arena was, so the explosion reached only 2x radius of the arena. No fatalities as well. Konoha is safe. I'd rather say, pretty good job, and the manga implies, that Naruto didn't even use his full power. It's funny, how we came from comparing, Naruto from Naruto(tv) to Naruto from Boruto(tv), to Naruto from Boruto(tv) to Naruto from Boruto franchise. Boruto franchise consists of manga/novel/movie/gaiden so far, that will be remade into tv anime in future. Don't you see, the series is gonna deny itself. It's example of bad writing. For example, episode 13 Naruto vs Neu => Naruto's useless, episode 139 Naruto beats Momoshiki, whose chakra absorption is 1 or 2 level ahead of Nue, and can destroy Konoha with fart. And comparing these two, didn't have any sense from the beginning. Nue just stole some chakra from non-ninja randoms, academy kids and Shino... We've already known future events of Boruto, so current events have to match future ones. It's funny, how people are giving Boruto, Kamui, Tenseigan and etc., when we know, in future, 5 years later, he still won't be able control his eye, and his clones limit will be 4 (in tv, it's 3). Prepare for 5 years of slacking off :P No? I only gave you a reason why Sumire hasn't been detected yet Naruto can detect negative emotion and negative chakra, the plot'd be impossible without nerfing Naruto. |
| you could say that boruto inherit the greatest jutsu "talk no jutsu" anyway, after all the shit with sasuke, i don't see why they don't forgive her |
dend08Jun 30, 2017 6:01 AM
| Well , Sumire with this outfit , hair and mark on the back looks really good as a villain. Only if this weren't the kids it would look even better I think. Like that another Purple-haired woman from Anbu we saw in Naruto somewhere. This attitude sometimes really gets annoying on me , when all Boruto does just doesn't believe anything because "she is our friend , right?" |
| sumire trying to suppress her awawa when snake boy calls her "class rep" was adorable af, god pls dont let anything bad happens to her |
ttcchen said: well, naruto has infinite chakra so why doesn't he just stand there and let the beast suck him until the beast overload of chakra and explode or something lol Because if he blows up he goes to Satan's house and takes the village with him. Did you not hear Sumire say that the plan was to destroy the village? If that thing exploded, the whole village would be destroyed and the revenge of the "Foundation" would finally be fulfilled. |
Titadou said: Soooo that's why she's not in the opening and the ending with the others I do not know but I do not think that's why she did not show up at the opening. Remember that in the openings of some seasons of Naruto, Sasuke even being the bad (although we know what happened, is not it?), He would appear in the opening sometimes, so I do not think that is why the Sumire does not appear in the opening. |
| So that useless girl is essential for the story. Good thing she is the villain. It means we won't see her again once the arc ends. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| An amazing episode with a lot of action and heat , liked how Boruto's handling it without violence and i really like it that he wants to save his friend even if she's evil , PRETTY CURIOUS ABOUT THE THING THAT HAPPENED IS HIS EYE x3 x3 ... and who's the one who's ordering Mitsuki .. i hope they reval him in the upcoming episodes and like before the Ghost Arc finishes .. Pretty Excited for the next episode and i hope Boruto grow up a little for now C: |
| I'm so happy with the turn of events (*￣◡￣*) I'm so satisfied that it really is Sumire! XD Sai and Kakashi are so cool as always! (≧◡≦) <3 But, really... Why does Boruto have to inherit Naruto's naivety and stubbornness?? I know he's the main protagonist and he has those eyes and he will be this village's hero in the future *rolls eyes*.. But I really can't stand that attitude! >.< Everything seems so great until he spouted things which we are all so familiar with like "I'll save both sides!" I mean, come on Emiya Shirou, wake up! Oh, oops, wrong series. X9 Anyway... iinchou's back is really hot. *^* LOL |

| For the first time an episode of Boruto met the expectations I had for this anime (not anything as good as the original series but still is good enough to enjoy). Now to see if next week's episode will be just as good. |
L0bstermanJun 30, 2017 11:55 PM
| OMG! now this is getting interesting again! we're finally out of the SoL episodes! Kakashi Showed-up! Naruto back on action again but Sai prevented him so use the super Sage mode. This is like a small time Konoha Summon invasion! space time teleportation like kamui? damn I though only few like Sasuke could do that... 5/5! |
 |
| Damm what a surprising revelation. To think that Sumire was actually the culprit and that her father was a member of the foundation and a fanatic that believed in Danzo. It was nice to see Kakashi come back from retirement though. It seems that the good will that Kakashi and Tsunade performed when they didn't reveal the identity of the foundation members was wasted though. Nue's appearance and the fight against it by Sai and Kakashi and their teams was pretty good though. It was nice to see so many of the old cast take part though. In the end Nue was designed to actually take the role of suicide bomber eh. The fight between Sumire and Mitsuki though was interesting. Seems that she was hiding her true skill though. This is the first dilemma that Boruto is going to face eh. But man that was one hell of an ending though. |

| At last, something that looks like the Naruto we all know, fighting scenes, good music, old characters in action, overall- Naruto vibes. Lets hope we will get more of this as well as no more going back to the boring, schoollike enviroment that doesn't suit this series at all. |
| My latest Hajime no Ippo AMV: |
| Annoying little cunt. Seriously, I don't remember Naruto ever being this annoying. |
| I'm glad that we got to see Sai and Kakashi be the bad asses that they are, but what the heck man???? We finally have Naruto living out his dream as the Hokage and it doesn't even seem all that great anymore! The joy in it is all gone. They portray him as completely useless in this Nue situation even though I'm pretty sure we all know he could use Sage mode and kick Nue to the moon. Like, yeah I understand that Boruto is supposed to be the shining main character here, but we haven't seen much of a work ethic from him at all??? Everything he does just comes out of nowhere and we're expected to just be like "wow, so much dedication, Boruto is amazing." I'm just not seeing super good traits coming from him yet, and the fact that since this is just "Boruto's anime" means that they're portraying Naruto in a useless way as he's living out his DREAM just kinda upsets me. Not totally terrible though, hopefully they can fix this in future episodes. The plot twist of Sumire being the culprit was actually pretty darn good. I also personally like this almost recreation of the nine tails disaster, makes things more interesting. |

 |
| Now that's what I've been waiting for out of this anime!!! Kakashi is finally shown and we get to see his purple lightning jutsu! I thought we were gonna get to see Naruto fire up the engines and fight but just a tease. I can't wait to see the next episode! |
